Met in early autumn of 2001

Not long after the Dragon Boat Festival, the summer vacation ushered in, which is something to cheer for most of the students, but for Xun Lang, it is not the case.

In the bedroom, Xun Lang hugged Xu Yichen who was focused on packing his clothes, frowned and said, "I'll tell my dad. I don't want to go."

Xu Yichen stopped his movements after hearing this, and turned his head to look at him. Although he didn't want to be separated from Xun Lang in his heart, he still said: "Farewell. Your grandfather is flying alone and no one can take care of him, and you Dad didn’t say anything, the main reason is to let you go to the branch over there to have a look and learn something?”

Xun Lang was silent for a while, and finally buried his face in Xu Yichen's neck, struggling in his heart.Wanting to learn something was what he told his father personally when he came home from the Dragon Boat Festival last time. Unexpectedly, his father asked him to spend half a month in the summer vacation as an intern in the Beijing branch, which meant that he had to be good at it. Not being able to see Xu Yichen for a long period of time is like making him fall in love with each other.

Xu Yichen put the last coat into the luggage bag and zipped it up.He wanted to stand up and go out to get a glass of water, but Xun Lang hugged him tightly: "Don't go, let me hold you for a while, I won't be able to hold you tomorrow." Xu Yichen sat back on the bed according to his wishes, and let him hug him , My mind was empty and I didn't know what I was thinking.

The two of them sat in that position for almost half an hour, and they really started talking about missing each other without saying goodbye.

When the phone rang, Xu Yichen moved and put his hand on Xun Lang's hand that was always around his waist. He tilted his head and couldn't see his face, so he could only say, "The phone is ringing, go and answer it."

The phone in the house seldom rings on weekdays, if it does, it must be for Xun Lang, either from his family, or from Gu Rui and Shouhou.Xun Lang reluctantly let go, put on his slippers and went out to answer the phone.Xu Yichen watched him go out, and his gaze fell on the packed luggage.Starting tomorrow, he will be alone.

Gu Rui came to the phone. He didn't know that Xun Lang was going back to City C tomorrow morning and flew directly to Beijing, so he asked Xun Lang to take Xu Yichen with him, and everyone went out to eat barbecue and watch a movie together, so as to relax.

Xun Lang didn't say anything for a long time, Gu Rui called out: "Xun Lang? Xun Lang?... What's going on? There's no sound over there?" It seemed that Xiao Yuan's voice said, "Call again when you hang up."

"I'm going to Beijing tomorrow, I won't go." Looking up at Xu Yichen who walked out of the bedroom, Xun Lang said.

Gu Rui on the other end sighed with regret: "You just finished the exam today and you're leaving tomorrow?"

Xun Lang followed Xu Yichen into the kitchen with his eyes. After thinking about it, he said, "I'm going to Beijing for half a month. If you are free, come here." During the holidays, there were more tutors, and Xu Yichen picked up ten third-year students. , Do not return to Xujia Town.

Gu Rui understood Xun Lang's meaning, and agreed without hesitation: "You don't need to explain, just that crazy girl in Xiaoyuan, she wished to stay with Yichen every day." Before he finished speaking, he yelled twice, no I know what happened to Xiaoyuan.

Not intending to listen to the quarrel between the two on the other end, Xun Lang hung up the phone, and looked up at Xu Yichen's smiling eyes: "I remember when I helped Xiaoyuan make up lessons before, you were absolutely displeased?" This meeting is quite reassuring.

Xun Lang didn't answer, stood up and walked in front of Xu Yichen. Xu Yichen raised his hand and handed him the cup. Seeing that he drank it up in a few sips, he took the cup back and went to the kitchen to wash it.Just as the cup in Xu Yichen's hand was put down, Xun Lang reached out and grabbed the water-stained hand, and pulled him towards the bedroom.

The next day, the two had just had breakfast when Uncle Li arrived.Carrying bags and going downstairs, one sat in the car and the other stood at the intersection.Waiting for the car to turn and change lanes, Xu Yichen turned around and went back.Half a month, fifteen or so days, is actually quite fast, he thought so.

When Xu Zhengqi and Xu Yihui came to visit, it was the seventh day of Xun Lang's trip to Beijing.Xu Yichen was teaching two third-year students a make-up lesson. Hearing the doorbell rang, he subconsciously thought it was Xiao Yuan. After all, she had been here for seven days in a row, and she would come and sit for two hours every morning. She didn't do anything, but just stayed aside and watched Xu Yichen make up lessons for others. . "Rather than being nagged by my mother when I go home, I might as well come here and listen to your lectures." These are Xiaoyuan's original words.

The door opened, Xu Yihui saw that his brother was very happy, and shouted excitedly: "Brother!"

Xu Yichen held the doorknob, looked at the two people at the door, and was very surprised. After a few seconds, he quickly turned sideways to let them into the room.

Xu Zhengqi began to look at the door as soon as he entered, and finally fixed his eyes on the two bedrooms with closed doors, and asked hesitantly, "Are you alone? Where's Xun Lang?"

Xu Yichen wiped the chalk dust between his fingers with a wet towel, and replied with a smile: "He has gone to Beijing, and he will be back in a few days."

Xu Zhengqi listened and turned his head thoughtfully.When Xu Yihui heard it, he said wow: "Brother Xun went to Beijing? Is he going on a trip?"

Xu Yichen glanced at his younger brother with a smile, did not answer his curious question, and brought over the fruit he bought from the vegetable market in the morning: "Why didn't you call Xu Fang to come with you?"

Hearing Xu Yihui talk about Xu Fang, Xu Yihui curled his lips: "She, she has to change clothes when she goes out, trouble, I won't wait for her."

Xu Zhengqi took a look at Xu Yihui and said, "I told your sister to come to see you. She said that your parents are going to work in the fields and they want to stay at home to cook."

Xu Yichen actually guessed that it was the reason.Remembering the two junior high school students who were still waiting for him in the room, Xu Yichen got up and went over to ask them to come out to eat fruit for a rest.When the two people who were struggling with the problem heard it, they happily threw out their pens.

When Xu Yihui saw people, he realized exactly: his brother is really helping people make up lessons and earn money.

After the remedial classes were over and the students left, Xu Yichen started to work in the kitchen to cook.Xu Zhengqi sent Xu Yihui into the second bedroom to sweep the floor, and went to help in the kitchen by himself.

From entering the room just now, Xu Zhengqi felt that the room was filled with a strong sense of home life. Seeing that the kitchen is complete with all kinds of utensils, and Xu Yichen is frying vegetables with ease, Xu Zhengqi still laughed from the bottom of his heart: the current Xu Yichen , it's pretty good.

Holding the spatula, Xu Yichen turned his head and glanced at Xu Zhengqi, who said he came to help but was eating with chopsticks while sitting at the table, pursed his lips and smiled and asked, "When are you going to introduce your girlfriend to me?"

Xu Zhengqi, who had just eaten a mouthful of meat, almost choked. He put down his chopsticks and scratched his face, and said falteringly, "She said that before the Chinese New Year, the winter vacation...will come back with me."

Xu Yichen looked at Xu Zhengqi, who was shy when he mentioned his girlfriend, and bent down laughingly, causing Xu Zhengqi to go up and give him a shoulder, grab the spatula and turn over the almost cooked dishes in the wok, Xu Yichen couldn't help teasing him a few more words , It's all because I learned badly when I was with Xun Lang.

During the fight, the two of them were still the same as before, and there was never a gap between them.

After dinner, Xu Yihui said that he had some extracurricular books to buy, and the three of them went to the bookstore.Xu Yihui took a few books, Xu Yichen picked a few more for Xu Fang, and finally paid for them together.Xu Yihui gave Xu Yichen a piece of fifty in his hand: "Mom gave me the money to buy books, you don't have to pay me." He understood how hard it is for his brother to go out now.

Xu Yichen didn't pick it up, so he pulled his brother to a place covered by a wall, and took out the money he had prepared in advance from his schoolbag: "This is what I earned from last tutoring session. I may not have time to go back this month, so you can help me get it." to mom."

Xu Yihui looked at the handful of money tied with a rubber band, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, he could only silently watch his brother put the money into the hidden pocket in his bag.Xu Zhengqi stood watching from the side, as if he saw Xu Yichen who was about to cry last year, but told him with a smile, "he didn't go to university" at about this time.

On the way back, Xu Zhengqi sat silently on his seat, and suddenly smiled and tilted his head and said to Xu Yihui: "If your brother encounters any difficulties in the future, will you help him?"

Xu Yihui was taken aback by his question, and wanted to ask him "what's wrong with my brother, what difficulties did he encounter", but in the end he didn't ask, but firmly said: "It must." That's his brother.
