Fork in the road

Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Xiaoyuan stood by the bed and whispered, "Xianyu, wake up."

Yu Xian, who didn't even frown when there was such a big commotion just now, turned over when he heard this sentence, and slowly opened his eyes.He looked at Bai Xiaoyuan standing beside the bed, sat up rubbing his hair, and asked, "What time is it?"

Bai Xiaoyuan showed him his mobile phone, Yu Xian saw the time and at the same time saw the missed call on the lock screen, he just woke up and his brain reacted a bit before he said: "It turns out that the voice just now It's your phone, I said it's different from the usual alarm."

Yu Xian had already seen the name of the caller just now, and couldn't help but said: "I never have Xie Zichen's cell phone number." However, Bai Xiaoyuan probably just knew Xie Zichen for a few months.

Bai Xiaoyuan wasn't sure if Yu Xian was calm or a little depressed at this moment.Yu Xian is a person who doesn't like to take the initiative to communicate, and he is probably the only exception in his life of more than ten years, but Yu Xian doesn't seem to care much about his interpersonal relationship, he seems to have no need for friendship.

So... is Yu Xian unhappy at this time?Bai Xiaoyuan was not sure, so he jokingly replied: "If you need it, I can ask for his home address for you."

Yu Xian looked a little disgusted, turned over and got out of bed, "I only asked for his address if I needed something..."

It's good not to be angry.Bai Xiaoyuan followed with a smile, carrying his schoolbag, and the two of them were on the table in the living room, ready to start their homework.

Let's talk about exposing the madness in the sleeping position of the other party later, homework is more important.

Yu Xian saw Bai Xiaoyuan fiddling with the phone a few times, then put it aside, and asked, "Aren't you going to call back?"

"I told him to talk about it later in the evening. Now let's concentrate on doing homework." Bai Xiaoyuan didn't rush to write after opening the cap of the pen. Instead, he took a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth before turning on his math homework.

"What homework did you bring?" Yu Xian asked as he opened his schoolbag and took out all the homework.

"Mathematics, physics and chemistry, there is no need to discuss anything else."

Yu Xian also took out the math homework, and both of them struggled with the homework in silence. After all, Bai Xiaoyuan had been baptized in the competition class for half a year, and it was obviously smoother to do the questions, and he completed the math homework earlier than Yu Xian.He saw that Yu Xian was still working hard on the questions with his head down, so he took his physics homework and continued.

After Yu Xian finished his homework, he directly brought Bai Xiaoyuan's over. First, he got the answers to the questions that he thought were relatively simple, and then he found the questions that he was not sure about, and looked at Bai Xiaoyuan's solutions.Bai Xiaoyuan put down his pen, and said very positively: "If you don't understand, just ask me, my writing is quite messy."

"No matter how messy your handwriting is, it won't go anywhere. You write yours first, and don't worry about me." Bai Xiaoyuan wrote the problem-solving process of the big problem so clearly that Yu Xian could easily understand it without talking about it.

After finishing the math homework, Yu Xian also started to write the physics homework. The two of them finished it in about the same time. At the same time, they put down their pens and got closer to match the answers.

The situation of physics homework is obviously not as harmonious as that of mathematics, and the two of them have a lot to discuss.Yu Xian always made people feel that he was mocking people when he gave lectures, but Bai Xiaoyuan and Yu Xian had become quite used to it after so many years of friendship, and he didn't feel that Yu Xian's emotions were impatient.So one of the two people is completely unaware that their tone may be a bit cold, and the other is aware of it but doesn’t think there is any problem at all. Even when there are differences of opinion, they can discuss it well, instead of arguing about which formula to use quarreled.

At the end of the physics homework discussion, there were still some problems that could not be completely resolved, but the two of them could be more certain than if they were alone.Holding up his physics homework, Bai Xiaoyuan asked with a puzzled look on his face, "How on earth did Guo Zeyuan put his endless enthusiasm into this?"

"I have one more question than you." Yu Xian picked up his math homework, "How did you put your endless enthusiasm into this?"

Bai Xiaoyuan was very distressed, "Where is infinity! I have been exhausted by mathematics, okay! I am already in an overdrawn state!"

"But I see that you are very happy with your overdraft." Yu Xian said calmly.

"It's all a forced smile..." Bai Xiaoyuan said deeply, and then changed his tone to a brisk, "Hey, let's write about chemistry, and don't mention sad things."

Chemistry is much more harmonious when written. The two of them basically have no different answers. Even if there is, there is no need to discuss it. Often whoever makes a small mistake can be reflected immediately.

After finishing all the homework he brought, before it was dark, Bai Xiaoyuan couldn't help stretching, and looked at Yu Xian, "Why don't I watch you do your homework later."

"Why don't you help me with my homework later."

"Okay, I'll help you write the weekly diary." Bai Xiaoyuan said with a smile.

"Tch." Yu Xian curled his lips.The sentence just now was a joke. If Bai Xiaoyuan really helped him write the weekly diary, Yu Xian would probably be called to the office by the Chinese teacher for spiritual communication.

Bai Xiaoyuan smiled at Yu Xian, looked at the time on the phone and asked, "By the way, will uncle and aunt come back for dinner tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Xian's cell phone rang.

Bai Xiaoyuan heard Yu Xian's calm "hmm" several times, and was a little curious in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Yu Xian put down his phone and said to Bai Xiaoyuan: "They're not coming back, there are still dumplings in the refrigerator, we cooked them ourselves."

Bai Xiaoyuan nodded, and said with emotion: "Uncles and aunts work really hard, and they have to work overtime during the New Year... Ah, I suddenly remembered that I need to make a phone call."

Bai Xiaoyuan didn't avoid Yu Xian either. Yu Xian sat on one side of the sofa and fiddled with his mobile phone, while Bai Xiaoyuan sat on the other side to dial out the number and put the mobile phone to his ear.

Yu Xian thought, is this calling Xie Zichen?Thinking of this, Bai Xiaoyuan dialed the phone, and his first sentence was: "Dad~ Have you eaten dumplings today?"

It turned out that he was calling his father... Yu Xian suddenly realized that Bai Xiaoyuan rarely went to his father's or grandparents' house, so he would naturally invite Bai Xiaoyuan to come to his house on New Year's Day, but It never occurred to him that he would have other options.

When Bai Xiaoyuan called, he was smiling and his voice was lively.

"Hey - I'm too lazy to cook alone, really..."

"I'm at Yu Xian's house, aren't you at work?"

"It's really a blessing... Well, I'm going to cook dumplings, bye~ Happy New Year!"

Bai Xiaoyuan put down the phone, still smiling, and said to Yu Xian, "I guess... you should know how to cook dumplings for salted fish, right?"

"of course."

Bai Xiaoyuan nodded and grinned, "What a coincidence, I will too."

Finally, there are dumplings cooked by Bai Xiaoyuan.After all, he was very active in volunteering, and Yu Xian didn't intend to compete with him.

It was only when Bai Xiaoyuan was standing in front of the pot waiting for the water to boil that he remembered that he hadn't accused Yu Xian of taking a nap.Interrupted by phone calls and homework, I almost forgot about it.

Bai Xiaoyuan crossed his arms and crossed his chest, with a serious expression on his face. He cleared his throat, "Salted fish, do you know why I wake up so early at noon?"

"Didn't Xie Zichen call you?"

"No, it was because you pushed me under the bed at that time. And it was the second time, you kicked me down once in the middle of sleep."

Yu Xian was stunned, and said in disbelief, "Are you sure you didn't say anything wrong?" With Bai Xiaoyuan's virtue of doing radio gymnastics in one sleep, how could he push him to the ground?

Bai Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes and complained: "Where can I push you, push you into the wall?"

Although Yu Xian had no idea what state he was in after falling asleep, he also knew that Bai Xiaoyuan didn't need to lie to himself about it.What's more, he really felt that his posture was different after waking up and when he fell asleep every day. It turned out that after he fell asleep, he didn't just turn over...

Yu Xian held his chin and thought, "Maybe I'm not in a good state today. I dreamed that my hands and feet turned into stones, and I couldn't even get up from the fall."

Bai Xiaoyuan, who was pressing Yu Xian's hands and feet in order to sleep well before, was a little guilty and didn't dare to answer.

It was great not to be discovered.Thinking about it this way, I felt that I lacked the confidence to sue Yu Xian with confidence.

After the dumplings were cooked, the two brought them to the living room again, and started dinner on the coffee table where they had just done their homework.

Yu Xian turned on the TV again. Bai Xiaoyuan still remembered that last time Yu Xian said that he used this as background music, so he didn't pay much attention to what was on the TV. Yu Xian was the same. Although the TV was lively, the two of them Still talking about myself.

Bai Xiaoyuan said: "I called my dad just now, and thought he had gone to work too, but he just woke up from a nap."

"They have different positions. My mother is fine, but my father is really busy."

Bai Xiaoyuan stopped while holding the chopsticks, his expression was a little emotional, a little dazed, "It's hard work... By the way, what kind of work do you plan to do in the future? Do you want to join your parents' work too?"

"I don't really think about it. It's too early to talk about work. It's better to talk about what major you want to apply for in university." Yu Xian said lightly.

"I want to study architecture." Bai Xiaoyuan gave the answer without much thought.

Yu Xian remembered that Bai Xiaoyuan's mother was engaged in this kind of work, so he asked, "Are you influenced by Aunt Bai's work?"

"It's a little bit. In fact, there are only a few majors I know now. In terms of architecture, the art I learned before can also come in handy." Bai Xiaoyuan felt that he was just a freshman in high school, so there was no need to be so eager to learn about the majors to apply for. Among the majors in the university, among the known majors that are well-known to everyone, he is indeed most interested in architecture.

Yu Xian nodded, and Bai Xiaoyuan asked back, "Are you?"

Yu Xian replied casually: "In terms of majors...electrical machinery and civil engineering? I feel that these are the only science and engineering subjects I know and can accept."

Bai Xiaoyuan said dryly: "Salted fish, your majors and gender ratio are a bit scary."

Yu Xian ignored him, and continued: "I have to say that I am interested, but I actually want to apply for a major in Chinese."

"Hey, do you want to study literature?!"

"No, so I'm just interested, of course I don't have a choice. But after hearing what you said, I think the architecture seems to be good."

"...Eat my Amway?"

The days in winter are pitifully short, and it was already dark when Bai Xiaoyuan left.

Yu Xian turned off the TV and went back to the house to do his homework. While writing, he felt that the room was a little quiet, so he took his mobile phone, turned on the music and turned it on - anyway, he didn't need to worry too much about writing excerpts and weekly diaries.

Even though the room is filled with the music he likes on weekdays, Yu Xian still can't arouse his interest.After finishing the weekly diary hastily, Yu Xian took out his biology book and planned to review it, but it was difficult for him to concentrate.After reading a page of the book for 10 minutes and turning seven pages in 1 minute, Yu Xian closed the book, picked up his pajamas and hurried to the bathroom.

In the past, it often happened that the parents had to work overtime, leaving Yu Xian to do homework alone in the room, but he never cared about it.

Why is solitude so unbearable today?

It must be because Bai Xiaoyuan is too noisy.Standing under the shower in the bathroom, Yu Xian let out a little irritated "tsk".
