1921

Saturday, November [-] cloudy to heavy rain

Ye Aichen invited me to his house today - where he lives now.

Yesterday he told me the bus route. He took the No. [-] bus in the direction of the Civil Affairs Bureau in front of my house, passed through three stops, and got off at the Bank of China station. When he was about to arrive, he would call him and he would come to pick me up.

The clouds are a bit thick today, but there is no rain and the ground is rarely dry.The wind was a bit strong. After getting off the bus at the station, I gathered up my clothes and looked around for Ye Aichen's figure.

Suddenly, I felt someone pat on my shoulder. I turned my head and saw that there was no one there. A smiling voice came from the other side: "This way." I turned sideways quickly, and Ye Aichen was standing He was smiling at me with his hands in his pockets.

"Let's go," he said.

I tugged at the strap of my schoolbag, followed him, and walked along the street for tens of meters, then turned right and entered an open iron gate. Ye Aichen pointed to the stairs on the left ,"here."

The corridor was a bit dark, I followed Ye Aichen's footsteps cautiously, saw him stop on the third floor, opened the door, stepped aside, "Here we are."

I put on the slippers he handed over and looked around the room.In contrast to the corridor, the room is very bright. The window of the living room faces the street, without the obstruction of other buildings, the light can easily penetrate through the window.The furniture in the room is very simple, coffee table, sofa, TV, dining table, bench, there is a vase with flowers on the coffee table, and some fruit snacks and the like.

Ye Aichen led me into his room.The room is not big, facing the door is a blue and white sofa placed against the wall, two posters are pasted on the wall above the sofa, and on the left is a three-tiered bookshelf above the drawer of the cabinet below.There is a simple desk on the left side of the room facing the window, with some textbooks on it, and on the right side are the wardrobe drawers and the like. Above it is a bed that can be climbed up by a ladder. A small part of the blue and white sofa is embedded under the bed. Space.An indigo rug is placed on the wooden floor, which is soft to step on.Ye Aichen asked me to sit on the sofa, and he opened all the half-opened blinds, the room became brighter, and the trees outside the window could be seen through the window.

"Take off your schoolbag, you can read the books on the shelf, and I'll pour water."

After Ye Aichen went out, I took off my schoolbag and hugged it in my arms. Although Ye Aichen said that I could read the books on the shelf at will, I was too embarrassed to take them, so I sat on the sofa and looked at this "Sparrow is small and has five internal organs." Fully equipped" room.How should I put it, I think this room has the feeling of Ye Aichen.Although there are not many things in detail, and the decoration is not particularly complicated, this kind of feeling that looks simple but has connotations, rich but simple makes people feel very comfortable. Living and studying here will definitely be very pleasant.

Ye Aichen came back with water and a plate of fruit.He put the fruit on the table, handed me the water, and beckoned me to eat the fruit.The water cup was warmed by the hot water inside, and it was very warm in the hand.Ye Aichen pulled the chair with pulleys beside him and sat down, took a bite of grapes.

"Put down your schoolbag, how tired you are from carrying it." He came over and took the schoolbag from my arms, and put it on the cabinet under the bookshelf. "This is the grapefruit my mother bought two days ago. It's quite sweet. Eat it." Ye Aichen broke a piece of grapefruit from the fruit plate and handed it to me. Come here and tear the skin off.Ye Aichen pushed the trash can over with his foot so that I could throw the skin into it.

The fruit of pomelo is very plump, and the layers are tightly packed together.Looking at this intact grapefruit, I suddenly felt that it was very similar to the wings of an angel, and the flesh of each grain was a feather.Suddenly, I thought of the pomegranate I ate some time ago, that one looks like a gem, a dazzling ruby.

"Let's do our homework first." Ye Aichen said, "Hey, have you finished your homework yet?"

I swallowed the grapefruit in my mouth, shook my head, "No."

After eating the fruit, we did our homework together.Reading books and doing homework side by side with Ye Aichen made me feel like I was back in elementary school, when we often studied together like this.At that time, I was the representative of the Chinese class, and every time I received a thick stack of exercise books, Ye Aichen would help me share half of it and help me move it to the office.In fact, when you think about it, there were more than 40 people in a class at that time, and the exercise book was not particularly thick, and it could be moved by one person.It’s just that at that time, we were all radish heads who hadn’t grown up yet, and our strength was not so strong. The overlapping books were still a bit difficult for us at that time.Now, one person should be fine.

I finished this week's English and math homework yesterday, and I still need a weekly diary for Chinese, and an endorsement for politics, history, and science. As for physics and chemistry, I haven't done it yet.I looked at Ye Aichen, he was working on a math exercise book.I thought about it, pulled out the chemistry and started doing it.The room was very quiet, you could hear the rustle of the pen falling on the paper and the sound of shallow breathing.

Now the sky is getting dark earlier, and it has become dark outside around five o'clock.Ye Aichen turned on the light in the room, shook the hand holding the pen, turned his head, and asked how much I had done.All I need to do is the remaining one page of physics homework. As for the content to memorize, I plan to get up early tomorrow and memorize it. One day should be enough.

"What about you?" I asked Ye Aichen.

"A little bit more."

I checked the time, I should be going home.Just when I was about to talk to Ye Aichen, I heard a female voice from the living room. "Son, I'm back, Xiaozi hasn't left yet, right?"

"No." Ye Aichen opened the door and said.

"That's good." The voice came from far to near, and finally came to me, "Xiao Zi stayed to eat, Auntie hasn't seen you for a long time." Ye Aichen's mother looked at me happily and kissed me on her chest. After making gestures, "I just came to Auntie's place before, but now I've grown so tall."

"Auntie, I..."

"Stop talking, you and Xiaoye will play for a while, I'll cook first." After finishing speaking, Auntie went to the kitchen.

I wanted to say no, but I had no chance to say so.

Ye Aichen also told me to stay for dinner.

"It just happens to be lunch time, so it doesn't matter if you go back after eating." Ye Aichen walked to the bookshelf, holding a book in his hand, "I have comics here, do you want to read them?"

They all said so, and I had no choice but to stay and eat.

Not long after, my uncle also came back. At the dinner table, my aunt kept picking up vegetables for me and asked me to eat more. She also asked me how I have been in the past few years and how my parents are doing. She said that she hadn’t seen us for a long time. Since I transferred schools, I have lost contact.

"Now that you are studying in the same school again, you need to interact more." Auntie said, "Xiaoye really liked playing with you back then."

"Mom." Ye Aichen called auntie.

"Oh, I'm sorry." The aunt laughed at him, "Xiao Zi, call your parents over when you have time, so that our two families can get together."

"Hmm." I agreed.

After the meal, my aunt told me to digest before leaving. Ye Aichen and I stayed in the living room and watched TV.As soon as the variety show entered the advertisement, I heard ding ding dong dong outside, and it rained heavily after a while.Ye Aichen went to the window and closed it to prevent the rain from drifting in. Auntie heard the voice coming from the kitchen and beckoned uncle to close the windows of other rooms as well.

"The rain is so heavy, I'll take you back when the rain subsides." Ye Aichen said.

"Need not……"

"Hey, Xiao Zi, wait until the rain subsides before you go, anyway, it's not too late." Auntie said, "Let's play a little longer at Auntie's house."

My aunt cleaned up the kitchen, and my uncle came out of the room. The four of us watched TV in the living room together. During this time, my aunt asked me to eat more fruit.

I always feel that their family is watching TV at home, and it is not suitable for me to stay here alone, I am very embarrassed.

I was looking forward to the rain getting smaller and stopping soon, but it seemed to be against me, the rain never got smaller.I don't think it matters, as long as I rush to the platform and get on the bus, I won't get much rain.Or at least borrow an umbrella from Ye Aichen, so as not to get caught in the rain, just return the umbrella to him when he is studying on Monday.

I whispered my thoughts to Ye Aichen, and before Ye Aichen could say anything, the auntie said: "Xiaozi, it's raining so hard, you can stay here tonight, and go back tomorrow, auntie will Told it to your mother."

"No need, auntie, I'll just take the bus back." I hastily waved my hand and refused, "I can't get caught in the rain." It doesn't matter if it rains, really!

"Wu Zi, why don't you just sleep at my house for one night. Although you won't get any rain after getting on the bus, but the rain is so heavy, even if you are holding an umbrella before getting on the bus and after getting off the bus, you will definitely get splashed." Little, the weather is so cold now, what if I catch a cold?" Ye Ai looked at me and said.

"That's right." The aunt said, "It's okay, just treat it as your own home, and there is a place for you to sleep at the aunt's house, so don't worry."

"I... Auntie, I..." I want to go home.

"Give me your mother's phone number, and I'll tell your mother." The aunt took out her mobile phone, and I had no choice but to tell her my mother's phone number.

After the aunt saved the phone, she asked Ye Aichen to take me to take a bath, and she went to the side to call my mother.

Ye Aichen found a set of pajamas for me, prepared a towel and toothbrush, and then taught me how to use the shower, "Don't be too cautious, and don't be embarrassed, our family likes you very much."

I was alone in the bathroom while taking a shower, thinking about how this would happen, and the more I thought about it, the more I regretted that I didn't go home earlier.If I had gone home earlier, it wouldn't have become a situation where I had to stay overnight.

It's not that I don't like Ye Aichen's house, I know Ye Aichen and my uncles and aunts are very kind to me, and I really don't mind if I sleep in their house for a night, but I feel very uncomfortable.After all, it's not my own home, and I don't know how to get along with adults. I feel like I don't know what to say to my uncles and aunts.I think it's such a hassle for them.

If the rain stops after a while, I'd better go back, I thought in my heart, I can't cause trouble with them.

When I came out of the shower, my aunt told me to make an agreement with my mother, and my mother agreed that I would stay here overnight.Ye Aichen said that if I don't want to watch TV, I can go back to the room, the quilt is ready.

I didn't really want to be alone with my uncle and aunt, so I went to Ye Aichen's room.

The window has been closed, the curtains have been put down, and two quilts are placed on the sofa. Auntie's voice came from the living room: "Xiao Zi, check to see if it's cold. If it's cold, I'll get you another quilt."

"It's not cold, no need, thank you, auntie." I said quickly.

After closing the door of the room, I sat on the sofa and touched the quilt, not knowing what to do.

Ye Aichen came in after taking a shower, closed the door of the room, walked up to me, took off the quilt and put it on me. "Cover it, be careful of the cold."

He walked to the front of the bookshelf, looked at it for a while, took out a few books, got into the quilt, nestled into the sofa, and asked me to choose what I wanted to read.I chose the next volume of the manga I just read, and the two of us just watched the book quietly side by side.

When I was sleeping, I realized that this sofa is dual-purpose, it can be used as a sofa or a bed.Ye Aichen asked me where I wanted to sleep, the sofa or the upper bunk.I didn't sleep on the top bunk, chose the sofa.Ye Aichen helped me move the back of the sofa to the stool and put it on the stool. After seeing that I was lying down, he turned off the light and climbed up to the upper bunk with the flashlight of his mobile phone.

"Will it be cold?" Ye Aichen asked me.

"No." I said.

The quilt has been warmed by the body of the two people just now, not cold at all.

We couldn't fall asleep for a while, and we started chatting at night, rambling about, talking about what came to mind.

"How did you get your name?" Ye Aichen asked, "I took my parents' surname, Ye Aichen, to show that my father loves my mother."

name?I seem to have asked my mother before, what did my mother say?

"It seems to say that I was born in Zishi, and the fortune teller said that I was short of wood, so I was called this name."

What was said later, I don't remember very clearly, I was already sleepy at that time, and I only vaguely remember that I mentioned constellations.

Ye Aichen said what constellation he was from, but he couldn't remember.
