you are my little world

After a while, the family members of the old professor arrived in a hurry.Due to the early death of his wife, the professor has been living alone.When the daughter and son-in-law came to visit the professor's home, they had met Nomi Yao, a neighbor, and heard from the hospital caller that the young teacher had sent their father here, so they thanked him.

After talking to them, Nuo Miyao carefully suggested: "I don't think Professor Li's condition is very good. Let's hire a nurse at home in the future."

Professor Li's daughter said distressedly: "Yes, I wanted to do this before, but my father was very stubborn and always opposed it. This time I must convince him."

Nomi Yao nodded, "Well, I'll help too." He comforted the couple again, then sat down and waited for the operation to end.Seeing that he was sitting here all the time, Professor Li's daughter said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Nuo, leave the rest to us. Go back and rest."

Nuomi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that her actions were over-interpreted in the eyes of others, "It's okay, it just so happens that the doctor who performed the surgery is my good friend, and I'm waiting for him."

Half an hour later, Xia Yihang walked out of the operating room and explained the operation to his family.It was the first time for Nuomiyao to see Xia Yihang who had just finished the operation. Perhaps for him, the operation was not too difficult, so his face was still calm and indifferent, and he also seemed alienated and reserved when accepting the thanks from his family members. .

After talking with Professor Li's two family members, Xia Yihang walked straight towards Nuomiyao and asked, "Are you tired of waiting?"

Nuomi shook her head, "Why, are you tired? Do you need to stay?"

"Stay here for a while." Xia Yihang looked over his shoulder and saw Eric who was standing not far away. He took Nuomiyao's hand and walked over, saying, "Ayao, this is Eric. Those who met him, it seems that we can only have dinner together."

"So you are Eric." Nuomi Yao suddenly realized, "No wonder, I always felt that you have been looking at me just now, you must be not sure about my appearance!"

Eric heheed twice, "Yes, yes." This is really an international joke with him, how could he, as a roommate, not recognize Xia Yihang's idiot behavior during his Ph.D.?

Next, Xia Yihang had to deal with some follow-up matters of the surgery, before leaving, he gave Eric a meaningful look.

It is inevitable that two strangers will feel awkward when they are suddenly alone.After a little hesitation, Nomi Yao quickly decided to have a serious talk with Eric.

"Eric, I heard that you were Yihang's only roommate during his PhD?"

"That's right, the dormitory we live in has two rooms and one living room. I have been his roommate for four years."

That's not surprising, as long as the time is long enough, Xia Yihang will be able to get close to people with similar personalities.

"I think your relationship must be very good." Nuomi Yao said, paused, and then said: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask, how has he been doing all these years?"

"Huh..." Eric breathed a sigh of relief, "How should I put it, I thought you would ask this question, and I thought of several versions of the rhetoric. I don't know if you can see, but he really doesn't want me to tell you you something."

Thinking of Xia Yihang's rare threatening tone in the phone call he overheard last night, it really impressed Nuomi Yao deeply.

"but--"

"But I think if I don't say it, I'm going to suffocate!" Eric said first.He blinked at Nomi, and asked with a smile, "The question is, what do you want to know?"

Hearing this, Nuomi Yao immediately scanned the corridor, wary of Xia Yihang who might appear at any time, "Actually, I want to know everything. But I'm afraid he will find out that I'm asking about this, can you leave me a call?"

Eric smiled wryly, "You can keep the phone number, but you must not ask me to meet in private, or Harley will tear me apart."

At this moment, Nuomiyao was still in the mood to joke: "Actually, your Chinese level is pretty good."

"Haha, I am very confident about this. My dad is a professor of Sinology in the United States!"

Soon, Eric put away his smile, crossed his fingers against his chin, and began to recall the first time he saw Xia Yihang: "I don't know if you know, but many schools in North America will ask students to fill in their dormitory wishes before enrolling to allocate dormitories. From the first day I lived with Harley, I felt that he fit the image of my ideal roommate. Polite, tidy, restrained, with impeccable habits and never aggression*.”

At first, he felt lucky that he could have such a worry-free roommate, and it didn't take him to study across half the border from the east to the west.The doctor of medicine course is very busy. Although Eric has fun every day, due to his heavy studies, he often burns the night and studies boring theories.

Xia Yihang is a complete outlier in their class. In terms of learning progress, he has been much ahead of him since he entered school.From Eric's point of view, he also has a brain that doesn't even need reaction time, everything can be read once.Go to bed at a fixed time every day, get up early and run in the morning, and live a regular life like a robot.

Soon, men and women in the class ignored his race and rushed to him for advice.If you can catch him, he will politely discuss your study with you, but most of the time, Xia Yihang does not appear in the sight of his classmates.He was alone, so he spent a lot of time in the dormitory.

The first time Eric discovered that he could act like a normal person with emotions was in the second semester of his PhD. Xia Yihang politely asked if he could use the kitchen to try out his new Chinese food. Eric likes Chinese food very much. His mother is a student who came here to study and married the father of a second-generation immigrant. After that, he occasionally cooks some home-cooked dishes at home, and the craftsmanship is very good.Hearing that Xia Yihang wanted to try it, he immediately offered to try it bluntly.

It can be seen that Xia Yihang is indeed cooking for the first time. He read the recipe carefully first, and Eric suspected that he might have memorized every word.

After waiting for a while, seeing the fish-flavored shredded pork that looked good, Eric swallowed, picked up his chopsticks and prepared to taste it carefully.He picked up a piece of shredded pork, put it in his mouth and chewed it, he couldn't laugh or cry, "Harley, you must have put too much sugar, it's too sweet, fish-flavored shredded pork can't just be sweet."

After hearing the words, Xia Yihang tasted it himself, and nodded in satisfaction, "That's the taste."

Ah, it turns out that genius is also flawed, loss of taste.

Noticing Eric's sympathetic eyes, Xia Yihang smiled warmly, "It's strange, but some people just like to eat such sweet things."

Classmate who are you?

At that time, it took Eric ten seconds to understand the situation, Xia Yihang really laughed, and it was because of something inexplicable.From then on, he began to notice Xia Yihang's abnormal aspects: he always likes to add a lot of sugar when cooking, but he never does this when he orders food outside; the room is locked tightly every day, as if something is wrong My secret; I never watch football games, but I like to watch football news and collect football magazines...

Eric doesn't like to pry into other people's secrets, but Xia Yihang's behavior is too abnormal, he has always been curious.One day when he arrived at the Second Doctorate, Xia Yihang suddenly got very drunk.He, who usually doesn't drink at all, would be so indulgent. Although Eric was puzzled, he had to dutifully send him back to the dormitory.This man didn't make any noise when he was drunk, but just wept silently.

Eric watched him slowly open the bedroom door, but forgot to close it.Driven by his strong curiosity, he was no longer willing to just stand at the dark door and take a look. He stepped in quietly and finally got a panoramic view of the room.When he first chose the dormitory, Xia Yihang deliberately chose this room where he could only see one side of the wardrobe when standing at the door, and he had to turn right to see other parts.At that time Eric thought he was just focusing on sex, but now seeing the photos covering the four walls and the ceiling, he realized that it was purely out of a secret desire.

In the photo, the young man who is always smiling happily has his brows and eyes stretched out, and his every move is full of sunshine.From this point of view, he is a person with a rich heart, never lacking in love.After carefully looking at a few photos, Eric was sure that it was natural for Xia Yihang to be attracted to this person.

The drunk Xia Yihang didn't notice Eric who was hiding behind the wall at the entrance. He looked at each of them from the corner to the ceiling with almost morbid obsession, as if he couldn't fall asleep without reviewing them all.This is no longer a specific state that can be described. Eric thinks that normal people will definitely suffer from dense phobia when they see 5-inch photos covering the four walls and the ceiling.

Moreover, how did Xia Yihang paste photos on every corner of the room?

Eric found it unbelievable, but as he got to know it better, he gradually realized that it might not be so surprising that this happened to Xia Yihang.

At this moment, after listening to his narration, Nuo Miyao had a sympathetic guess: "Could it be, the house in Chaoyang is also..."

Eric's expression was indescribable, "Well... that's about it."

Maybe it was because of the impression of the bookcase when he was young. Although Nuomiyao was shocked this time, there was nothing unacceptable.Is it because of this that Xia Yihang doesn't want him to see that suite?

"Looking at your reaction, it seems that you are not surprised that he did such a thing." Eric shook his head, "This is quite a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's a miracle that he didn't develop into severe depression."

"um, I--"

Seeing that Xia Yihang had changed into casual clothes and came over, Nuomi Yao quickly stopped talking, pretending nothing happened, and asked him about the situation of the old professor next door.Xia Yihang glanced at Eric suspiciously, but because Nuomi Yao asked seriously, he didn't have time to make eye threats.

Just as Eric thought, when Xia Yihang and Nomi were together, it was difficult to give his mind to others.During dinner, Nuomi Yao was always looking for topics to enliven the atmosphere, Xia Yihang was only responsible for answering calls, staring at him, and staring at him.

Eric vaguely remembered the scene he had seen in the dissecting room, and decided to rot part of the words in his stomach.Some things can be said, but some can only be buried in the heart.
