The tea was cold.

Ye Kai opened the chair and sat down slowly.The sun enveloped him warmly.Chen Youhan should have woken up early in the morning, how he got out of bed lightly, for fear of waking him up.And how did he tell Duoji to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find a decent and formal letter paper?In the pale blue light of the morning sun, Zhuoji poured him a cup of hot tea, he took a sip, swallowed a few white pills, turned away from the pen, and began to write this letter.Ye Kai thought, I was falling asleep at that time.He obviously wanted to keep him warm, but he shamefully slept peacefully and deeply like never before.

The slightly transparent fingertips in the sun lightly swipe along the mouth of the cup.

When, perhaps when the first ray of light finally came through the window, Chen Youhan put down his pen, folded up the letter paper, and stared at his forehead for a few seconds, finally picked up his backpack and went downstairs.

Ye Kai closed his eyes.The sun burned his thin, pale eyelids hot.He could almost see the back of Chen Youhan leaving.

Open your eyes, the room is silent, only the wind blows the long grass.

Ye Kai dialed out Chen Youhan's number, and there was no emotion on his face when he dialed out.

Don't hang up, and don't not answer - since Chen Youhan hung up repeatedly two years ago, he had an instinctive panic and resistance to calling Chen Youhan.

Three beeps, thank goodness—

Ye Kai lifted his spirits, and his breathing became shallow unconsciously: "Brother Youhan."

Chen Youhan's light smile came through the receiver: "You're awake."

Ye Kai sat back on the chair, leaning on the back of the chair with his elbows, nodded unconsciously, and said "hmm" again, "Are you leaving?"

"Just arrived at the county seat." The background sound was really noisy, occasionally mixed with a few strong and powerful bus horns.

Ye Kai felt absurd for a moment: "Are you taking the bus?"

Chen Youhan is a dandy who is even younger than him, and has never even taken a bus or subway, but now he has to travel around the border towns in a smelly and dirty bus whose seat covers are washed only once a year.

Chen Youhan really smiled: "Did you drive a Lamborghini?"

Ye Kai then pursed the corners of his lips, and the microphone was silent for two seconds. He panicked for a moment in this short silence, and quickly asked, "Where are you going? Is it Deqin?"

Dialogue is an interaction between two people, and silence cannot be controlled by him alone.Although she didn't want to, Chen Youhan still paused.The sound of the horn was even harsher, and he finally spoke, avoiding it in a natural tone: "A very remote mountain, you have never heard of it."

The wood on the back of the chair is loose, and if you press your nails hard, you can make a shallow crescent-like mark.Ye Kai pressed two white crescents on it, "I thought you wouldn't answer my phone."

The waiting hall in the county seat is small and old, and the departure ticket check is all done by shouting. There are many people lying or sitting on the marble floor, and the dirty denim luggage bags are bulging behind them.Chen Youhan was wearing black clothes with a backpack on his back, standing under the eaves, smoking a cigarette vigorously.The smoke dissipated indifferently in the wind, he squeezed his sore browbones, and finally said softly: "No, you can call me if you have anything."

Having said that, they all know that no matter how difficult it is, they can go to each other in a famous way.

Ye Kai unfolded the letter between two fingers, and glanced lightly over it.Every word will be memorized.He nodded and said blankly, "...I promise you."

Promise what?Promise you will let go, promise you not to hate, promise you to believe in love again, promise you happiness.

Chen Youhan didn't ask, just said: "That's good." He put out the cigarette, turned and walked into the waiting room.The backpack was thrown onto the security inspection conveyor belt with a bang, and the waiting crowd began to flow with the driver's yelling. He whispered, "Ticket inspection, take care of yourself alone."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Kai folded the letter in half again, took off the phone case, and clipped it in evenly.

He was trying to let go, and Chen Youhan was also trying to let go.This reunion is just the spray of the unexpected confluence of two streams, and they will move forward separately after all.

However, at the same time as relieved, why didn't the heart become lighter at all?Ye Kai supported the chair and squatted down slowly, with his palms pressed against his heart.

Dorje felt strange when he went downstairs.Mr. Chen left, as if he took away the cheerfulness of Teacher Xiaohua.Teacher Xiaohua was like a child like never before in front of Mr. Chen.As soon as Mr. Chen left, he turned back into a polite, distant, well-proportioned adult.

Duoji swallowed the joke and watched Ye Kai walk down the stairs step by step with a little worry.

The leisurely vacation feeling disappeared, and he spent the next two weeks almost tensely, teaching, researching, home visiting, going door to door to find out about the schooling conditions of boys and girls, and going to villages and villages to read the poverty alleviation materials over the years. Like a village official.Before leaving, everyone in the whole village knew him, and they all knew that Mr. Xiaohua, like Mr. Chen, wanted to do some meaningful and good things in this village that had just escaped poverty.

Before Ye Kai left, he bid farewell to the supporting college students and children in the old school building, and walked to the new campus alone.The construction site is still the same, because of the progress of the project, it looks a little more chaotic than before, with red bricks, lime bags piled up on the wall, rumbling concrete trucks, shavings scattered all over the ground, two dirt dogs one behind the other Circles around the foundation and bites its tail.He remembered the first general education class he gave Ram and the others, and he described the campus so beautifully and comfortably.He wanted to say that the beautiful school is on the other side of the mountain, as long as he studies hard, he can go out and see a beautiful new world.How innocent his first class was, some students raised their hands, looked at him seriously and unconvinced with dark eyes, and said loudly: "Mr. Xiaohua, we will have such a beautiful school soon!"

They didn't know Chen Youhan, and when they saw him, they would push each other and hide back in fear.

Ye Kai called Qu Jia while walking down the mountain: "Mom, you have always wanted to do something that you haven't done, and Chen Youhan has already done it very well."

The drizzle drifted past the windows of the bus. Under the gray sky, the herdsmen in coir raincoats were driving their flocks, watching the car drift away in the rain.

More than ten hours later, the plane taxied to Ning City, picked up his luggage and went out. Uncle Lu and Qu Jia were waiting for him at the exit.Uncle Lu took off the huge and heavy mountaineering bag from his shoulder, and Qu Jia handed him the iced Perrier water.Sitting in the back seat of the spacious Cayenne, he is a pampered young master again. The yaks in the mountain villages on the plateau, the fickle weather, the meadows and lakes full of yellow flowers, and the Tibetan-style meat pies that are almost vomit are all far away. In the roar of the gallop.

Qu Jia was so distressed that he didn't know what to do, and took his hand and sighed.

Ye Kai said abruptly: "Mom, you haven't praised Brother Youhan yet."

Qu Jia was choked by him: "Why should I praise him?"

"He's done something you've been avoiding, and you're unfairly biased against him."

Qu Jia was speechless, and reluctantly said: "I have never denied him. As for him, the only problem is his private life—"

"He's not chaotic." Ye Kai paused, and raised the corners of his lips: "I can testify."

Qu Jia glanced at Uncle Lu warningly from the rearview mirror, and then asked Ye Kai cautiously, "Have you been in contact with him recently?"

She thought that Ye Kai knew about Chen Youhan's public welfare undertakings from Jiang Yan.

"A few times," Ye Kai half concealed and half confessed, "I'm not familiar with it."

Qu Jia was so nervous that he raised his heart.Ye Kai's original pain was still vivid in her memory, she didn't want to see any signs of resurgence, so she asked tentatively: "Then you..."

Ye Kai glanced at her lightly: "I'm fine, it's all over."

He slept peacefully in the car, and returned to Siyuan Road. Invitations flowed in along with his circle of friends targeting Ningcheng. There were Yang Zhuoning, Lu Fu, and university alumni. Lucas asked him to have a drink tomorrow night. , he hesitated for a while, but did not reply for a while, and clicked on Gu Xiu's dialog box first.

Gu Xiu said that she would give him the materials related to public welfare, and asked him which day would be convenient.

Perhaps it involves some sensitive content, and the electronic version is indeed not very careful.Ye Kai was going to Ningtong to handle some business, so he made an appointment with him at the Ningtong headquarters building tomorrow afternoon, and replied to Lucas that he would be free after [-]:[-] p.m. Lucas sent him a location message, and then said that it was his newly rented house, and he hoped to invite Ye Kai to have dinner, as if it was helping him warm up the new house.

Ye Kai looked at the location with no expression on his face.Fanning empty villa. Lucas had been there before, and knew that Chen Youhan lived there.

Lucas didn't want him to have any misunderstandings, and immediately sent a long paragraph to explain, meaning that Fanning is in the very center of the CBD business district, the company does not have a car for the time being, and he can walk to work every day, which is the first choice for convenience.Reasonable, just a coincidence.Ye Kai only had a little bit of subtlety in his mind at the beginning, and he felt a little funny when he saw Lucas state one, two, and three in such a big way.After all, even if Lucas could be his boyfriend, he didn't care where he lived.

Gu Xiu knocked on Siqi's desk at three o'clock in the afternoon.Siqi had already got an explanation, and after calling the inside line to get the consent, she invited Gu Xiu in.

The red solid wood door is stable and low-key, which is in line with Ning Tong's tone, but it is still a little uncomfortable to see Ye Kai when you open the door.

"Leslie, Mr. Gu is here."

Ye Kai took off his eyes, turned his indifferent face from behind the large iMac computer screen, and smiled skillfully at Gu Xiu, "Coffee? Tea?"

He couldn't go wrong with this smile, but Gu Xiu didn't feel comfortable.He flatly refused: "No, I'll leave soon."

Ye Kai didn't force himself, nodded to Siqi and asked her to close the door.

"You look more and more like your sister."

Ye Kai raised his eyebrows slightly: "You know my sister?"

"I've seen it a few times, I just ran into it in the elevator."

Ye Kai showed a look of all ears.

Gu Xiu spat out eight words coldly: "The etiquette is in place, and the eyes are higher than the top."

This is tantamount to swearing.Who knew that Ye Kai laughed heartily instead.He has learned a lot from Chen Youhan in various ways, the most beneficial one of which is his handsome and thick skin.Immediately nodding to Gu Xiu, he said with a light smile, "I'm overwhelmed."

Gu Xiu also laughed, and the atmosphere seemed to melt a bit.He threw two thick kraft paper bags on the table: "Youhan asked me to give it to you. He promoted public welfare projects when he was in GC. This bag contains all the top-level design and operation planning and funds made at that time. , running water, and account details are all there, the copies, just read it and deal with it.”

He pointed to another bag smoothly: "After he left, he divided out the public welfare separately. It contains the projects he has been promoting for more than a year. It is very complicated. You don't need to read them all. To understand the next project, from research to Just plan the process of how to implement it in the end, and you should know the two sets in your heart. In remote areas, the customs and people's customs are very different in different places. Without his courage and skill, you can't push forward the front-line work." Gu Xiu paused , with a self-deprecating smile, "Of course, in fact, you don't need to intervene in the front line."

"Chen Youhan doesn't need it either."

Gu Xiu nodded: "...he always wants to find something to entrust."

"Why... why did he suddenly want to do this?"

Even if Chen Youhan leaves GC, he can stand on his own and make a big splash.

Gu Xiu sternly raised the corners of her lips: "Sorry, I have no comment."

Speechless for a while, Ye Kai pushed away the chair and stood up, "I'll take you downstairs."

He took Gu Xiu through the exclusive VIP passage, and there were only two people in the spacious elevator.From the [-]th floor to the parking lot on the basement level, the time was very fast. Gu Xiu endured and endured, opened the briefcase, took out a document from it and threw it into Ye Kai's arms: "Chen Youhan asked me to investigate, he didn't I'm going to tell you, but I think it's necessary."

Ye Kai opened the plastic folder, and inside was an investigation report like a resume, with Lucas' ID photo in the center.

"This is?"

"Your new boyfriend's information, from past love history to family medical history, is in it. He was nervous and made a fuss. He asked me to check when he drank too much, and asked me to delete it when he was sober. This shit took me more than a week. It's worth it. Congratulations, your boyfriend's family does not have any genetic history, nor has there been psychosis such as homicide, anti-social personality and manic depression, there is no high incidence of cancer patients, and the incidence of Alzheimer's disease is also very low , when he gets old, there is a high probability that he won't be demented enough to require you to take care of him."

Ye Kai was stunned, the hand that turned the page did not move for a long time, his eyes scanned ten lines, but he didn't read a few words in his heart.

"His love history is not clean, and he has a rich history of relationships, but most of them are easy to get together and part ways. Although he is bisexual, he has also come out publicly. His social relations are relatively tolerant of his sexuality. You should not encounter What kind of bloody plot of beating mandarin ducks."

Gu Xiu paused, the number of the elevator changed to minus one, the door opened, he went out calmly, and finally said: "Unfortunately, because of his mishandling of a previous relationship, the other party committed suicide because of him. But the person himself I have mild depression, so I can’t blame him. You can see the rest for yourself. Don’t misunderstand Youhan. Do you have any remnants of control and possession?" Gu Xiu glanced at him. Since meeting today, he has been suppressing an inexplicable anger, but this glance is still gentle: "He was drunk that day, but he didn't drink. Just rest assured."

Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "I checked it for him before he remembered it. The information is very healthy, and he actually doesn't think it's necessary to tell you. It's my own decision."

Ye Kai gripped the document tightly and said coldly, "Mind your own business."

Gu Xiu said politely: "I also think he's worried too much. Although your new boyfriend is ruthless, you don't give in too much, you two are just as good as each other—" He said two words lightly: "Perfect, perfect match."

Ye Kai finally got angry: "What do you mean?"
