you are my little world

Although he knew that his parents were worried about his love life, Nuomiyao didn't want them to be too straightforward with Xia Yihang, he worried that it would burden Xia Yihang who was always polite to his elders.

Fortunately, Ms. Xiao probably didn't want to give people the impression of being too eager. She just asked Xia Yihang carefully about her life in the United States, and asked about many things that even Nuo Miyao didn't know.For example, he studied for a 4-year MD at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and then worked as a resident physician at Cornell University Hospital, which ranks among the top three cardiac surgeons in the United States.And when the dean was about to leave him as the attending physician, he chose to return to China to work.

When it came to this topic, the expressions of Nuo's parents became subtle.Nuomi Yao was afraid that they might ask some questions that shouldn't be asked, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Then you are really patriotic!"

Ms. Xiao pulled out an embarrassing smile, and echoed, "Yes, it's really not easy."

"Perhaps." Xia Yihang raised his brows slightly, although he said maybe, he didn't quite agree with this evaluation.

Ms. Xiao looked at her son, and then at Xia Yihang, who was getting more and more unpredictable. She felt that this matter could not be further investigated at this time, so she tugged on Nuo's father's sleeve, and said, "I just came to give Ah Yao some Things, it’s the big weekend, you young people can play as much as you want, don’t be bored at home all day, go out for a walk, it’s good for your health.”

"I see, Aunt Xiao." Xia Yihang didn't hold them back, and kept sending them to the door. Nuomi Yao completely lost the initiative and stood behind him, saying to his parents, "I'll go to Xiaoxiao's place to see you in two days. .”

After the old couple left, Nuomi Yao racked his brains to ask Xia Yihang what he thought about the relationship between the two of them in a natural tone, but before he could explain why, Xia Yihang asked naturally: "Go out for a walk?"

"Huh? Oh, oh."

Nuomi Yao, who was completely driven by the rhythm, changed into a long-sleeved sweater and sweatpants, followed Xia Yihang and asked, "Where are you going? Are you familiar with this area?"

"Just stroll around and you'll be familiar." That being said, Xia Yihang is obviously very unfamiliar with the land beyond the fifth ring, and walks around at will.If he hadn't shown his super ability to recognize the way ten years ago, otherwise, if he was going so far at this moment, Nuomi Yao would definitely have to take out the map to see the route.

What's even more strange is that, while walking, he actually entered a home furnishing store and began to pick and choose.

"Is there any other color for this rug, please show me."

Nomi, who thought he was just wandering around, was slightly startled, and asked, "Have you finished buying the furniture in your house yet? Is it a little far to buy it from here?"

Xia Yihang glanced at him with the eyes of a mentally retarded person, "This is for your family."

Nuomi Yao was confused, "My house? I'm not used to carpeting."

"It will always be useful." Xia Yihang's expression was too honest when he said this. At that time, Nuomi Yao didn't think that the carpet was necessary for his home.

If there were only carpets, it could be explained that Xia Yihang was just kind enough to make up for his lack of home furnishings, but the next two pairs of pillows, three sets of new bed sheets and quilt covers, and a wardrobe that just fit into the empty wall of the master bedroom fully demonstrated this. It is a preparation for two people to live together.

Before Xia Yihang was about to pay the bill, Nuomiyao's inner surprise and curiosity finally suppressed his worries, and drove him to ask directly: "Are you going to live with me?"

Xia Yihang asked him back: "Could it be that my performance wasn't obvious enough?"

It was obvious that he was going to move in, but at this moment he didn't mean to ask for advice at all, instead he looked awe-inspiring, as if it would be unreasonable to refuse him.It doesn't seem like you want to be friends with benefits, but you want to get back in touch with each other?

From yesterday's intimacy to going shopping together now, the fear in Nuomi Yao's heart has never disappeared.After all, ten years is not short. Although he did not mix circles, he has more or less heard stories of separation and separation in an open environment like University B. As he gets older, it is really difficult for same-sex couples to go to the end. too difficult.Not to mention, they were separated for ten years.

"I just didn't think about it." Nuomi Yao said in a daze, "I was too young to realize that the person I like also likes me. How difficult it is."

Xia Yihang heard the words, but did not speak, until the cashier staff asked him the delivery address, he came back to his senses, signed his name, and then said to Nuo Miyao: "Come and write the address."

They kept a subtle distance and walked out of the home furnishing store. When they reached the traffic lights at the intersection, Xia Yihang did not walk across the road with the crowd, but stopped, stared at the street lights ahead, and asked as if talking to himself: " I asked you on the first day if you hated me, and you said no. Did you blame me for breaking up with me? "

"Of course not, that's none of your business." Nuomi Yao felt that he needed to clarify the matter, "I decided to give up on you first, and you said that... just to give me a step down .”

"No." Xia Yihang quickly denied, "At that time, I was indeed so angry that I couldn't stay with you anymore. Later, I regretted it, that's it."

This reason is a bit blunt, but now, at any rate, it can be considered open, at least they both want to maintain a stable relationship.Make up for this lost time slowly.Nuomi Yao comforted herself like this.

Throughout Saturday, he accompanied Xia Yihang to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.Miraculously, none of the professors who used to like to hang around the most in the past didn't show up, which made Nuo Miyao, who had never dared to ask Xia Yihang if he wanted to make it public, heaved a sigh of relief.

Xia Yihang went to the hospital on duty on Sunday, and went straight back to Nomiyao's house at night, bringing some change of clothes and daily necessities.On Monday morning, he went to work and took Nomi Yao to school by car, insisting that he was not allowed to drive his own SUV.

"Save money on gas," he said, "and, besides, it's community property."

Nuo Miyao felt a surge of emotion in his heart, and he cherished the 10-year-old Jeep along the way.This car has been well maintained, and in terms of performance, the inside must have been replaced, but the exterior still maintains a slightly retro style that seems to be now.

"Aren't you all abroad? You can still keep the car so well."

Xia Yihang glanced at his fidgeting hands, quickly withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead, and said calmly, "Please help me."

Nuomi Yao guessed that it might be Xu Zixuan, the guy who used to have the best relationship with Xia Yihang's roommate.Speaking of which, people who can be friends with Xia Yihang are usually people with a little more lively temperament. If they are cold-tempered people, they might not even be able to say half a word together.

"Ah, Teacher Nuo." Yu Xiao, who happened to walk to the entrance of the research institute, stopped to say hello when he saw the teacher get off an unfamiliar car.

Nuomi closed the car door, waved her hand inside, patted the student on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go to my office."

This meeting really settled the details of the business trip.They are going to do research in a rural area in Guangxi. Because it is an initial job, the main quality they need is to be able to endure hardships and stand hard work during the visit. Other requirements are not high, so Nuo Miyao plans to take two graduate students to exercise together. .

It was the first time for Li Yawen to go on a business trip with her mentor, and she was so excited that she couldn't help herself. As soon as she walked out of the office, she began to think about what to bring, and absent-mindedly heard Yu Xiao muttering next to her: "...It's really strange, like Xia Yihang!"

Her ears perked up, "Who is like Xia Yihang?"

"It was the car that parked at the gate of the courtyard this morning to bring Teacher Nuo here. When the teacher closed the door, I glanced at the person in the driver's seat, who looked like Xia Yihang. Do you think he knew Teacher Nuo?"

"I know! I definitely know each other!" Li Yawen immediately jumped three feet high, "Tell me, besides you, Teacher Xu, who stayed in school after graduating in the same year as Teacher Nuo?"

Yu Xiao corrected her dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Xu and Mr. Nuo didn't stay in school directly. They came back after studying abroad, and because they went to different countries, they didn't come back to work in the same year."

Li Yawen calculated Xia Yihang's Ph.D. graduation time in her mind, and said: "That's someone who graduated in 16, is there anyone?"

The two muttered here for a long time, and Nuo Miyao locked the door and came out. Seeing that they were still standing at the entrance of the research institute, she jokingly asked, "Are you waiting for me to invite you to dinner?"

Yu Xiao hurriedly waved his hands, "No, I don't have one, Teacher Nuo."

"Meet Yudu, let's go to lunch together. I just want to catch up with an old friend of mine. He runs around all day and finally returned to Beijing. I don't know if you have read his book."

Li Yawen asked curiously, "Which writer is it?"

"The pen name is Cang Yuan, but his real name is also Cang Yuan, and his surname is Li."

The two young people were surprised at the same time: "Ah, it's the writer who wrote "Time in the World"!"

When they heard that the new avant-garde writers were good friends of their tutors, the two students who love academics naturally rushed to express their great anticipation.Nuomi Yao called Li Cangyuan and explained the situation to him. The latter never cared about these things and agreed quickly.

The last time Nuomi Yao saw him was three years ago. Since Li Cangyuan devoted himself to literature, he has become more and more fond of traveling all over the country, going to remote places and losing contact for a long time.This time, he just came back from a certain deep mountain in Europe, and it can be said that he was full of travel and dust.

The two children pushed open the door of the restaurant box, thinking they saw an orangutan.Li Cangyuan fiddled with the messy hair on both sides of his face behind his ears, and smiled nonchalantly, "So scary this time? I was so tired when I got on the plane, I fell asleep, and I rushed over when I arrived in Beijing, before it was too late." Freshen up."

"Haha, I'm used to it. It's the two students. It's probably the first time I've seen a writer come back from collecting materials... What are you still doing in a daze? Come here and sit down. If you want to sign a book or something, now is the time."

While pushing glasses and changing glasses, Li Cangyuan told them some interesting stories about collecting materials in Europe some time ago, and the two students were amazed.Nuomi Yao took advantage of the situation and asked him how long he would stay in Beijing this time. Unexpectedly, Li Cangyuan pondered for a while, took a sip of his wine, and said, "There is no rush this time. Speaking of which, Nuomi, Xia Yihang has returned to China, do you know?"
