My bamboo horse is scumbag

It always rains in June in Ningshi.

During the three days of the college entrance examination, the heavy rain caught the traffic police, parents and examinees by surprise.In the muffled thunder and abundant rain in early summer, Ye Kai finished his last paper.He packed his pencil case and research papers, and walked through the corridor on the first line of Yulian City.Even when it rained, some people still tore books and threw them away. On the concrete floor that had accumulated water, the torn white test papers were soaked in water, and floated down the sewer along the water flow and fallen leaves.

Wu Sijiu is a name that has been forgotten, but Ye Kai suddenly thought of him on this day, thinking of the sweet orange sunset in the year when he graduated, thinking of Chen Youhan waiting in the parking lot, thinking of his back running towards Chen Youhan.He had never had any emotions towards Wu Sijiu in his heart, but during the short walk to the school gate while holding an umbrella, he suddenly felt subtle jealousy.

If Chen Youhan's Lamborghini, or Aston Martin, even if the Panamera appeared in the rain, he would run over regardless.

But there was no Chen Youhan in the bustling parking lot, the crowds of people under the umbrellas, and the anxious faces in the rain.Instead, Qu Jia was standing in the rain in expensive sheepskin high-heeled shoes, with Uncle Lu holding an umbrella for her.

Ye Kai cheered up, and ran towards Qu Jia with bright eyes, the splashed rain splashed on the trouser legs of his school uniform.

After getting in the car, Uncle Lu turned on the air conditioner, and Ye Kai brushed his wet hair.

"How about it?"

Ye Kai felt good about himself: "Is it okay to protect Fudan University and fight for Tsinghua University?"

Qu Jia hugged him and smiled: "Yes, anything is fine."

Twenty of the top [-] universities in the world have offers from Yekai, and if the college entrance examination is too abnormal, it will not be regarded as a blow to Tianyi's brand.

Ye Kai made two perfunctory sounds, and the inexplicable loss just now was swept away, and he took out his mobile phone to send Chen Youhan a WeChat message.

: I finished the exam!

:congratulations.

:Congratulations to me?who are you?Old Chen next door?

: Did you do well in the exam?

: Not bad, basically you can be an excellent graduate.

: How humble.

"Chatting with Chen Youhan again?" Qu Jia squinted at him.

Ye Kai quickly cut out the interface, and opened the class group to cover up: "No, I... chat with everyone!"

"Go back to collect your luggage at night, and fly to the United States the day after tomorrow."

Ye Kai raised his head in shock: "Huh?"

"FSA International Economic Simulation Competition, you are fine anyway, follow along and have a look."

Ye Kai participated in this competition, and the Tianyi representative team won the silver medal at that time.But now that he has graduated, what else is there to see?The expression on his face was too complicated, so Qu Jia took the initiative to explain: "One of the team leaders quit because of something. You happen to have time and experience. After the game, an exchange meeting was arranged, and you attended on behalf of the Tianyi official."

"Do you have to go?"

"Do you have arrangements?"

"……nor."

The torrential rain washed the windshield into white mist, and Qu Jia patted Ye Kai's hand: "I didn't want to let you go, but my sister said that I want you to go and experience it. I think it's a good point."

Ye Kai was caught off guard, but he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

When he got home, Qu Jia immediately ordered someone to pack his luggage.The competition schedule is very long, it will take half a month, plus the exchange meeting and the round trip, it will take almost 20 days.The class group has been lively since the end of the exam, and they all want to go out crazy, some have appointments with bars, some have appointments with disco, and some have Internet cafes open all night.Yang Zhuoning Aite him: At the same table, what do you say?

Ye Kai has no expression on his face: he will go to America the day after tomorrow.

Yang Zhuoning sent a respectful emoji: awesome, it's no loss that he is a rich and noble son, and his playing is high-end.

The following are all lined up to refresh the screen.

Ye Kai forwarded an FSA economic simulation schedule: Do you want this senior?

Yang Zhuoning immediately changed the direction of the wind: awesome, he is worthy of being a rich and noble son, but he is dedicated to all kinds of opportunities.

The screen is flooded again.

Ye Kai was upset, and sent a "hehe" in the past, and withdrew from the carnival except for him.

After clicking into Chen Youhan's interface, the two sentences about leaving the examination room two hours ago were still stuck.He considered and considered, typed and deleted a line, repeated several times, but couldn't find anything to say.The phone was thrown aside, and he put his hands behind his head, staring at the snow-white ceiling in a daze.Eyes gradually sore, he closed his eyes, thinking of the kiss in the office four days ago.

After dinner, the luggage was packed and the rain stopped for a while. Ye Kai thought about sneaking out, but he was caught by Ye Jin in the front hall.Ye Jin seemed to know that he was going to look for Chen Youhan, and hinted: "I just came out of the Jade Tower, and I met Chen Youhan there."

Feiyulou is a well-known Chinese restaurant in Ningshi, the first choice for business receptions.Sure enough, Ye Kai stopped in his tracks and asked suspiciously, "Are you reading that right?"

Ye Jin smiled lightly: "It's hard for a person like him to admit his mistake."

Ye Kai felt that he was praising his boyfriend, so he pursed the corner of his lower lip, looking proud.The smile couldn't be contained in the end, he bit his lip, the corners of his lips still couldn't stop turning up.Ye Jin turned around abruptly: "There is a good-looking young man beside him."

Ye Kai was startled for a while, but then he was relieved: "I know, it's Gu Xiu."

Ye Jin shrugged slightly, "There are so many people coming and going around him, how can I recognize him clearly?"

There was something in her words, Ye Kai was not a fool, he stared at her angrily: "What do you want to say?"

"I heard that there are two little fresh meats in the circle who want to climb on his bed but didn't." Ye Jin glanced at him, "A star is a star after all."

Ye Kai's face sank, and his tone returned to indifference: "He's not that kind of person."

Although he was very determined to go back and lay down on the bed after taking a bath, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.He was certain that this was the over-excitement after completing a major event in life, and he closed his eyes and worked hard for half an hour, but Chen Youhan's abnormal indifference and perfunctory for nearly half a month always appeared in his heart.In the past, he comforted himself, it was because Chen Youhan was afraid of disturbing his preparation for the exam, but now that the exam was over for six hours, except for those few lines of dialogue, Chen Youhan didn't look for him anymore.

The screen of the mobile phone shone on his sleepy cheeks, and after a while his eyes were stinging and tears began to flow, before he reacted and turned on the light.The chat with Chen Youhan was broken and brief, basically he took the initiative and Chen Youhan replied coldly and slowly.When did it start?Ye Kaixin's mouth twitched suddenly, he couldn't control it, and impulsively dialed the video for Chen Youhan.There was no reply for a long time.He hangs up, dials back, and repeats the process again 1 minute later.

After five times, Chen Youhan picked it up.

He was on the balcony, dimly lit, with a cigarette between his fingers.

"What's wrong?" Chen Youhan's tone was normal.

"I've passed the exam."

"I know, you said it."

Ye Kaixin panicked, and suddenly didn't know what to say, clutching the phone, he started talking nonsense: "I'm going to the United States the day after tomorrow. FAS International Economic Challenge, do you know? It's——"

"Go to bed early." Chen Youhan interrupted him, licking the corner of his lower lip very lightly, almost nothing.

Ye Kai was silent for two seconds: "I miss you brother Youhan, do you miss me?"

"I'm very busy, I forgot to think about it." Chen Youhan's answer was ruthless, but kept the utmost gentleness.

"I have time tomorrow." He sat with his knees hugged, his face pressed against his knees, he looked very obedient, and said in a slightly embarrassed tone, "I can say it's a class reunion."

"Going to Hong Kong on business tomorrow."

Ye Kai lowered his eyes.From August [-]th of the year before last when he knew that Chen Youhan liked him, he learned to hold the phone very straightly, so that the front camera could take a straight and normal view of his face.He never cared about his appearance, but he was worried that Chen Youhan would see his unattractive side from the video.But now, his hands had no strength, and his arms were drooping. After a long time, Ye Kai slowly let out an "oh".

"Anything else?" Chen Youhan dusted off the cigarette ash, "I still have to work overtime."

"Brother Youhan."

"Ah."

"Why don't you call me baby recently? Can you call me?"

Chen Youhan was silent for a while, then said perfunctorily, "You don't like it, don't you?"

"I like it!" The overly straightforward request made him feel ashamed, he pursed his lips, bit the inside of his lips with his teeth, and said softly, "I like it."

Chen Youhan took a deep breath and glanced away from the camera.The night sky is full of sleepless prosperity.He said indifferently, "Xiao Kai, I'm very tired today."

Ye Kai blinked blankly, and suddenly realized that he was making trouble for no reason.He apologized at a loss: "I'm sorry, I'm so excited after the exam that I couldn't sleep, you go to work, Brother Youhan, go to bed early."

Chen Youhan nodded, leaned over and put out the cigarette in the overfilled ashtray.

Ye Kai said softly and quickly, "Smoking less."

Chen Youhan's hands paused, and his voice was low and clear: "Okay."

Only this "good" was Chen Youhan, who Ye Kai was familiar with.

Gentle, gentleman, nice voice, love overflowing from the heart.

Every other word is not him.

Every word is not Ye Kai's Chen Youhan.

Holding the phone, he unconsciously tapped his fingers into the WeChat favorites.Very skilled.A voice came out from the receiver, and the sound quality was rustling: "I, Chen Youhan, miss Ye Kai very much at this very moment. I can't extricate myself from thinking about it. I want to die and live. I want to see him now." Lazy, undisciplined, Jokingly, when you close your eyes, you can think of the face at the back door of Tianyi under the streetlight saying these words.

One year and three months.It's amazing, even the odds are longer than his previous time.

Ye Kai opened the dialog box again, and entered word by word:

One year and three months, not too long, right?

But Chen Youhan didn't reply to him.

After a long flight, the plane landed in Los Angeles.The organizers have already arranged accommodation for the participating teams from various countries, and Hilton has almost been contracted by high school students of all skin colors.As an assistant teacher, Ye Kai wore a shirt tucked into trousers, narrow waist and long legs, a work badge on his chest, black hair and white skin, and looked too young.There was no distance between the juniors and the juniors, and each senior shouted crisply.For a while, I asked him if he had any experience in relieving tension, for a while, he asked him to simulate his opponent in a debate, and for a while, he asked him for a more advanced written expression of a defense.

The chattering gave him no time to think about it.

The competition system is a lottery round system, accumulating points, and ranking after the game.

This type of competition has a natural advantage for schools whose first language is English.In the away game, Tianyi didn't perform well in the first game. Several players were downcast after leaving the field, and a girl cried directly.Ye Kai remembered that she was admitted by a foreign school, her grades were very good, and she received a full scholarship from Tianyi.

After several months of training and competition, the students have deep feelings for each other, and they surround her in the room to comfort her.

Ye Kai walked in, his footsteps were silent on the thick carpet, and he heard two team members leaning against the door whispering: "I heard that her father was laid off last month, if she can't win the game, with her practice and competition experience You can’t get the full prize.”

"Wouldn't it be impossible to leave the country?"

"That's right, in the United States, at least 20 a year, how can her family afford it?"

Ye Kai coughed lightly, and glanced at the girl who was surrounded by everyone in the room to comfort her: "What's wrong?"

The two team members immediately stood up straight: "Senior."

"It's just that we didn't perform well in the first game, so there's no need to be so depressed." Ye Kai walked into the room, and his way of comforting people was straightforward, "We didn't perform well in the first three games last time, and we didn't tie for second place in the end. Winning a silver medal? That's fine."

"The senior's English is so good, how can he play abnormally?"

Ye Kai smiled, with a narrow smile in his eyes: "Did I say it was me?"

Everyone laughed immediately, even the crying girl couldn't help laughing through her tears.

Ye Kai restrained his smile, and said gently and earnestly: "Don't deny all the hard work and achievements in the past just because of one failure. I have watched your seasons, and you have played beautifully all the way in China. Believe me, you are better than the last one." The seniors and sisters are all better, there is nothing wrong with it."

The girl wiped her tears: "I just suddenly thought that Dad lost his job..." The corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn't help the tears: "I really dare not let him down."

Unemployment is every middle-aged man's nightmare.As I get older, I can no longer compete with young people for the same position and salary, and when I condescend and demote to be ordered around by young people, I am inevitably depressed.But the burden of supporting the family is still on the shoulders. If one person loses his job, the whole family will fall into the abyss.

Ye Kai has no position to comfort.

Other team members chatted on the topic: "A company as big as GC said it would lay off employees. Qiqi's father is still the director of the department, and it seems that he has paid two months of subsistence allowances."

"There seems to be something wrong with the Chen family, and the Lou Village project has also stopped."

"But their building is really good, and the property is very good."

Ye Kai is like an ice cellar.He didn't seem to understand, and his gentle smile froze at the corner of his mouth, "What are you talking about?"

The chatter stopped, and the team members looked at him abruptly and inexplicably: "Don't you know, senior?"

Ye Kai opened his mouth and focused his eyes on one of the team members: "What's wrong with GC?"

The team members who were watched by him felt nervous for a moment, and he staggered and gestured: "GC, GC seems to have almost gone bankrupt before."

"It's been in the news all the time, but senior, you should be preparing for the college entrance examination at that time." Others echoed.

Everyone knows better than him, and you immediately added: "Overseas assets are packaged and sold at a low price.", "Several domestic high-quality projects to be developed have also changed hands", "Because there are too many layoffs, it seems that they are still on the job." social news.”, “Lou Village is now half-developed and half-suspended, and there should be no money for development.”

"Really! But it's really strange, GC, the real estate leader in Ning City, if you say no, then you can't."

"Maybe the boss of the company doesn't have enough strategic vision. Once a link of their highly indebted enterprises is wrong, they will collapse in a row."

They buzzed a lot, and didn't notice Ye Kai's silence from beginning to end.

After a long time, he took a step back, "Impossible," holding the corner of the table tightly with his hands, with pale lips and dazed eyes, he said with difficulty but firmly: "It is impossible for GC to have an accident in Chen Youhan's hands."

The people present were all top students, and it was deduced in an instant that this Chen Youhan should be the boss of GC.

A girl asked ignorantly: "Senior, what's wrong with you? Your face..." Before she finished speaking, she was pinched hard by the people around her.She immediately shut her mouth tightly as if facing an enemy, her eyes only dared to stare at the carpet because of guilt.

That's right, the Ye family and the Chen family are all well-known wealthy families in Ning City, so they must know each other.

The room full of students was very quiet for a while.Ye Kai's eyes were hard to focus, and he swept across the faces of each team member in a chaotic and dazed way: "What else?"

"No, no more..."

I don't know who answered, because everyone lowered their eyes and dared not look at him.

Ye Kai swallowed hard, the look in his eyes became clear and then dispersed, after a long time, he said slowly: "Got it." Step by step, he walked out of the room.His back is tall and straight, and his footsteps are his usual calm pace.It's just that the hand hanging by his side kept shaking, everyone felt nervous and wanted to follow him unconsciously.Ye Kai clenched his fists and said in a hoarse voice, "Have a good rest and prepare for the game."

The overseas calls made repeatedly by the machine were not answered.

... what is he doing?What is he doing?Ye Kai walked along the corridor without any sense of direction, without knowing the end.He never knew or cared about such a big incident at Chen Youhan's family. He could clearly see that he had been exhausted for several months, but he only asked casually as a symbol, and stopped as soon as he said "I'm busy with work".Is that how he loves others?Is that why he loves Chen Youhan so much?What did he give Chen Youhan?Acting like a baby, begging, making trouble, did he really care about Chen Youhan?You cry during sex, don't you?He didn't even ask at that time.Why is Brother Youhan crying?What can make him cry?

The footsteps became more and more chaotic, the eyes became more and more dazed, the shadows of the lights were heavy in front of his eyes, the corners of Ye Kai's mouth kept trembling, his nerves were out of control, almost convulsive.Tears kept falling, he raised his hand to wipe them away, one line after another, he squeezed his trembling lips tightly, and the sobs overflowed from his chest——

"Sir? Sir?"

"Hey, everthing is ok?"

"Do you need any help?"

Ye Kai pushed away the waiter, pushed away the passers-by who kindly helped him, stumbled and stumbled all the way, and finally pushed through the emergency passage, collapsed on the balcony railing, sobbing, trembling and breathing.

The plane landed at Xianliu Airport in the rain, and Ye Kai was awakened from a deep nightmare.The first-class cabin was spacious and quiet. The old man in the next seat glanced at him, put down the newspaper, and handed him a pack of wet wipes from his suit pocket in a gentlemanly manner.

Ye Kai was slow to react.

"Wipe it off." The old man said gently, "You have been crying in your dreams."

Ye Kai just touched his face.Dry, sticky, still moist in the corners of the eyes.

"Thank you." He took it.

Just can't tear it apart anyway.

Not even a wet paper towel can be torn off.

The old man held his hand and said comfortingly, "I'll come, I'll come, leave it to me."

Easily tear off a corner.The scent of jasmine came out.

Ye Kai took it dully, his mind was dazed, and after three seconds, he belatedly said: "...Thank you."

The old man held up the newspaper again, paused, and said softly, "It's no big deal, you're still so young."

The heavy rain was pouring, and he sent Chen Youhan a wechat message as soon as he got off the plane.Because of a sudden high fever, he failed to fulfill his duties as an assistant teacher.On the third day of his illness, as soon as the fever subsided, he desperately bought a ticket to return home. ... He always seems to be in a hurry back from America.Once, twice, whenever he and Chen Youhan were separated by a Pacific Ocean, he would feel restless.

: Brother Youhan, please reason with me: I know what happened, I was wrong

: It's my fault, I'm selfish, I don't care about you

: Brother Youhan, please take care of me, okay?

: Chen Youhan, take care of me

He took the subway to Fanning Kongshu, but he didn't bring his access card, so no one went downstairs to pick him up now.He called Chen Youhan over and over again.At first, it was automatically hung up after timeout, and then it was cut off. After the tenth call, Chen Youhan picked up.

"Brother Youhan, I..." He answered so suddenly that Ye Kai didn't even think about what to say, "I'm—"

"Break up, Xiao Kai."

"What?" Ye Kai pressed the phone tightly against his ears, and his eyes were wide open, like a person who had stepped on the ground.

"Break up, Xiao Kai, to live a better life of your own. I'm not worth it." Chen Youhan's voice was calm, steady, and hoarse, as if he had wanted to say this a long time ago.

Ye Kai nervously clenched the schoolbag strap tightly.He swallowed hard, his eyes glazed over with terror.

"Don't!" He reacted, and stopped loudly in a broken voice, "Brother Youhan..." Gradually, he became incoherent: "Don't break up Chen Youhan, don't—"

A blind tone came from the microphone.
