Met in early autumn of 2001

The next day, Xu Yichen had breakfast and read a novel, explained to his younger siblings, picked up the bag on the stove, and prepared to go find Xu Zhengqi.The bag contained the fruits and loose biscuits that my mother bought last night. Xu Yichen knew that she was sorry to accept the seafood that Zhengqi sent over. This was a return gift, although it was not worth much compared to the seafood.

When Xu Yichen walked to Xu Zhengqi's house, Xu Zhengqi and his mother were eating, and there were several large iron basins in front of the house, which kept the unsold fish and shrimp in the morning.Zhengqi's mother beckoned Xu Yichen to eat some more, Xu Yichen waved his hand and said that he had just eaten too.

Xu Zhengqi glanced at Xu Yichen's bag on the TV cabinet, took a bite of the fried egg, gulped down the remaining half bowl of porridge, stood up and went to the kitchen to put the bowl into the basin, and when he came back, he told his mother, "Yichen and I have a little bit of trouble." Don't knock on my door later."

Seeing his mysterious look, his mother laughed: "What are you talking about?" Xu Zhengqi knew that his mother would definitely not do it if he said that, so he touched Xu Yichen with his elbow, motioning him to go upstairs with him.

After entering the room, Xu Zhengqi turned around and locked the bedroom door.Seeing him like that, Xu Yichen was a little curious: "What's the matter, making it so mysterious that even the door has to be locked?" Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, Xu Zhengqi turned around, staring at him with a pair of eyes, with a serious expression on his face, And it seems to be very angry.

Xu Yichen was startled, looked at Xu Zhengqi nervously, opened his mouth for a long time before asking: "Why do you..."

Xu Zhengqi frowned and interrupted him with a wave: "What's the matter with you and Xun Lang?"

As soon as he said this, Xu Yichen obviously felt a coldness from the soles of his feet all over his body, and his body trembled uncontrollably.Xu Zhengqi was standing right in front of him, seeing him trembling, the question that had been wrestling with him all night was verified silently, and it was the answer he least wanted to get.

"...Did you see it?" Xu Yichen didn't need to think about it, he knew that Xu Zhengqi must have seen the scene of Xun Lang kissing him in the woods yesterday for Xu Zhengqi to ask so directly.

Xu Zhengqi scratched his hair impatiently. If he had seen it with his own eyes, maybe he would not be so impatient.

After the dragon boat race was over yesterday, his clothes were soaked. After receiving the red envelope, he saw Xu Yichen and Xun Lang leaving, so he thought about going home and taking a shower to deliver the seafood.Just as he took off his clothes, wrung them out and put some water on them, a man walked up to him, a classmate from his former high school class, from another village, named Wang Le.

Xu Zhengqi has a good relationship with this person, and he was very happy to see him come to the game: "We won just now, you see."

Not only did Wang Le not smile, but he also looked at him with a hesitant expression on his face, which made Xu Zhengqi baffled.

"Come over here, I have something to tell you." Wang Le pulled him to a place where no one was around. Xu Zhengqi waited for him to let go and asked him, "What's the matter?" Wang Le pursed his lips, and after a while After a while, he said, "Are you very familiar with Xu Yichen from class one?"

Xu Zhengqi laughed: "That is, we are good brothers!"

Wang Le bowed his head in silence for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said in confusion: "I just saw him in the woods... Kissing a man."

The smile froze on his lips, and Xu Zhengqi laughed dryly after two seconds: "What are you talking about, did you read it wrong?" How could Yichen kiss someone... It's still a man...

Wang Le shook his head, frowning with determination: "I can see clearly, it's over there, sitting on the swing. I'm standing behind a tree, and they didn't see me."

Xu Zhengqi was at a loss, he didn't know what kind of reaction he should use to digest what he heard.Wang Le saw him staring blankly at the direction he was pointing at just now, and scratched the back of his head: "I was also shocked just now, and suddenly discovered some terrible secret, which is very scary."

Seeing him patting his chest, Xu Zhengqi was upset and still asked: "Wang Le...can you..."

"Pretend you didn't see it?" Wang Le snatched the words, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I just told you because you and Xu Yichen often played together in high school and had a good relationship. It doesn't matter, I'll forget about it when I turn around after telling you."

"Thank you."

Xu Zhengqi can trust Wang Le, if he says he can't say it, he won't say it.But Xu Yichen didn't know Wang Le, and based on his reaction just now, if he told him that the person he saw was not himself but someone else, he probably wouldn't be able to make it through today.

"So, you and him are really...together?" Reluctant to give up, Xu Zhengqi asked again.

Xu Yichen nodded after being silent, and clasped his hands tightly together.It was a fact that he didn't want to deny.

Xu Zhengqi's pent-up breath was blown away by a punch, and he sat down on the bed weakly: "If I persuade you, will you not listen?" The answer was so calm, there was no room for it, This is to go all the way to the dark.

"Don't you already know the answer?" Xu Yichen lowered his head and touched the dial on his left wrist, and gently pulled the corner of his mouth.

Xu Zhengqi looked at him, thousands of words finally turned into a long sigh.What can he say?It's useless to say anything.After Xu Yichen left, he watched him open the door and go out. He sat on the bed in a daze, and after a long time he said helplessly to himself: "If he treats you well..."

Xu Yichen returned home without saying a word.Xu Yihui saw his brother go into the bedroom, tore through the bag for a while, finally found a note, took the money and went out again, and asked Xu Fang wonderingly: "Brother, what's the matter, in such a hurry?"

It was Mr. Xun who answered the phone, and when he heard that it was Xu Yichen, he happily wanted to chat with the young man.Xun Lang happened to come down from upstairs, and when he heard Xu Yichen's name called by his grandfather, he took a few steps to answer the phone.

"Yichen?!" Xun Lang shouted joyfully, the bright smile on his face stunned Mr. Xun and Mrs. Jiang who were sitting at the side.

Hearing Xun Lang's voice, Xu Yichen's nose was sore and he almost didn't cry. His heart that had been beating restlessly during the conversation with Xu Yichen just now seemed to be soothed.

Xun Lang didn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, so he called out again.Xu Yichen held the microphone and sucked his nose, then let go of his hand and said, "Xun Lang, it's me."

Xun Lang's voice was bright and happy: "I know it's you."

"Ah."

"Why did you call me all of a sudden?" Xun Lang wanted to ask Xu Yichen if he missed him, but the place was not right.

Xu Yichen smiled and understood what he was thinking: "I miss you."

Xun Lang was happy, and silently added in his heart: I miss you too.

"Are you... going back to the county seat tomorrow?"

Only five days have passed since the seven-day long holiday.Xun Lang replied without hesitation: "Return!"

Xu Yichen smiled and hung up the phone.
