Jade is not jade

Yu Nian called Yang Jiayue and asked him if he was free on the weekend, and wanted to invite him out for dinner.

Yang Jiayue replied that he had something to do on the weekend, and Yu Nian knew that he was going to "pick up guests" again as Ah Si.

"Monday to Friday, any day will do." Yang Jiayue said.

Yu Nian: "Don't you have to go to class?"

Yang Jiayue: "Skipping class."

Yu Nian: "..."

Yang Jiayue: "Oh, just kidding. When do you have time, I will look at the arrangements."

Yu Nian: "Are you free on Thursday afternoon?" He had no class that afternoon.

"There is an elective section, but it's quite late." Yang Jiayue said.

Yu Nian said, "Then I'll come to you at noon?"

Yang Jiayue: "Okay, you come to HKUST, I finish class at twelve o'clock, call me when the time comes."

Thursday.The two meet.

Yang Jiayue dressed very student-like, well-behaved, unlike "A Si", exuding a "monstrous" air from inside to outside.

He looked Yu Nian up and down, and said, "Didn't you eat delicious food during the Chinese New Year? Why didn't you see you gain weight?"

Yu Nian said with a smile, "It's impossible to gain weight after a year."

The two sent a text message for a holiday, and they changed from an awkward "stranger" to a familiar "good brother". Bao's Ah Si left too deep an impression on him.

Yang Jiayue asked: "Have you eaten?"

Yu Nian: "No, I just came to see you and treat you to dinner."

Yang Jiayue smiled and said, "What kind of happy event happened?"

"I've won a scholarship." Yu Nian's tone showed a hint of joy, like a child announcing the good news to his parents.

Yang Jiayue showed an expression of appreciation cooperatively, and said, "Not bad, how much did you take?"

Yu Nian smiled and said nothing.

Yang Jiayue snorted and asked, "How did you pass the test?"

Yu Nian was a little shy: "First."

"Can you get [-] if you take the first place in your college?" Yang Jiayue asked.

"..." The guess is really accurate!

"Then I'm going to give you a good meal~" Yang Jiayue naturally grabbed Yu Nian's shoulders, "What should I eat, King K's buffet? Baolimei western food?"

The two restaurants that Yang Jiayue reported were 300 to [-] yuan per capita, but Yu Nian had never heard of any of them. He still thought foolishly how much a meal for two people would cost, and the budget was up to [-] yuan.

Yu Nian said: "It's up to you, you can eat whatever you want."

If it was someone else, he might feel sorry for the money, but if he invited Yang Jiayue to eat, he wouldn't.

In his heart, Yang Jiayue was different after all, even though he only saw him three times.

If you want to ask what is different, Yu Nian may not be able to explain clearly... because he took himself back to school by motorcycle in the middle of the night?Because of his performance at the New Year's party that attracted everyone's attention?Or because he forcefully changed his mobile phone away, and said in an almost doting tone, "Call me"...

Yu Nian felt that he was a little hypocritical.

Yang Jiayue said softly: "Then I've decided..." A child who buys a 500 yuan mobile phone should be very hard-pressed at ordinary times, but he said "you can eat whatever you want" for yourself, shouldn't you be moved?

Yang Jiayue took Yu Nian for a while, and Yu Nian followed him silently to a building.Seeing Yang Jiayue go in familiarly, the first room on the left on the first floor, took the key from under the carpet at the door...

Isn't this a residential area?Yu Nian froze, wondering if this was his home?

Yang Jiayue pushed the door open and entered, shouting, "Is Teacher Deng there?"

Yu Nian heaved a sigh of relief and looked around. In front of him was a large living room with three square tables. The half wall facing north was made into a bookshelf, with various textbooks and stacks of papers on it.

An old woman with a fat figure came out from inside, and when she saw Yang Jiayue, she said happily, "Xiao Yang! It's been a long time!"

"Yeah!" Yang Jiayue put on a "A Si" male and female smiling face and said, "I've been busy lately!"

Teacher Deng: "Did you bring your classmates?"

Yang Jiayue glanced at Yu Nian and said, "My brother."

Yu Nian: "..."

Mrs. Deng smiled and said, "I never heard that you have a younger brother!"

Yang Jiayue: "Didn't you just recognize this!"

Teacher Deng: "You must be poor!"

Yang Jiayue: "Teacher, let's come over and eat, we will starve to death!"

Teacher Deng said anxiously: "Oh, it's already one o'clock and you haven't eaten yet? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you!"

Yang Jiayue: "Fried rice cake soup! Put chili oil!"

Mr. Deng: "Good! You two pour some tea to warm your stomach first. The tea was made early in the morning! I'll go in and cook!"

"Hey, you're busy!" Yang Jiayue seemed to be very familiar with this place, and went straight to the tea table to pick up the teapot, and poured a cup for Yu Nian and himself.

"Sit down, don't be restrained." Yang Jiayue pointed to a chair beside him and said to Yu Nian.

Yu Nian said, "Who is your brother?"

Yang Jiayue joked: "You are younger than me, what's the point of being my younger brother?"

Yu Nian: "I..."

Yang Jiayue: "Come on, Brother Shout and listen."

Yu Nian: "..."

Yang Jiayue said with a half-smile, "I'm just joking with you, let's drink tea."

Yu Nian lowered his head and took a sip: "What kind of tea is this? It's delicious."

In the mouth of the green tea, the rice fragrance is strong. It is obviously tasteless, but there is a sweet taste on the tip of the tongue.

Yang Jiayue said, "Buckwheat tea."

Yu Nian drank for a while, and said: "I saw 'Buckwheat' when I was reading before. It was said that the ancients regarded it as a elixir and old ginseng, and the Germans also called it 'Oriental God Grass'. It turns out that Buckwheat can also be made into tea. It's the first time to taste it."

Yang Jiayue: "Well, there are also tartary buckwheat tea sold outside, but they are not as authentic as the one made by Teacher Deng's house. Her husband's hometown is the source of buckwheat. I used to joke with my classmates that my teacher and the others would bring a sack of tartary buckwheat to their hometown every year. , specially for us to satisfy our greed... Ah, Teacher Deng and her husband are both teachers of the High School Attached to HKUST."

Yu Nian: "Oh, how did you meet?"

Yang Jiayue: "I'm their student, stupid!"

Yu Nian: "..."

Yang Jiayue: "They have already retired, and the teachers have no children, so they treat the students as their own children. I used to take tutoring here, and there was no place to stand on weekends... Teacher Deng also cooks good dishes, and often invites us to eat , now I often come here to eat and drink, and I have made this place my home, hehe, I will bring you to taste it today."

Yu Nian: "Hmm..."

With that said, Teacher Deng came with two full bowls of rice cake soup.

"Eat first, I'll fry some dumplings for you!" She put down the bowl and went into the kitchen again.

Yang Jiayue yelled "hard work" to her, turned his head and said to Yu Nian, "this rice cake is fried and then poured with chicken soup, boiled until the rice cake rolls in the chicken soup, then put some shredded pickled cabbage and chicken, and put it in the pot Then add chili oil and mix it, the taste is amazing!"

Yu Nian tasted a piece, the rice cake was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the soup was delicious, and the fruit was extraordinary.

Yang Jiayue: "Not bad."

Yu Nian nodded, and concentrated on eating the bowl of pickled vegetables and shredded chicken rice cake soup filled with chili oil, and thought to himself, it's a good thing this person doesn't know my nickname is "Nian Gao", otherwise wouldn't he eat me? ... He was also happy in his heart that he was humorous once in a while.

"Are you talking?" Teacher Deng brought out the fried dumplings, sat down next to the two boys, and took a small plate to mix the dipping sauce for them.

"Teacher, have you eaten?" Yang Jiayue asked.

"Hey, I must have eaten it." Teacher Deng looked at Yu Nian and asked, "I've never seen this kid before, where is it?"

Yang Jiayue: "Didn't you say it's my brother!"

Yu Nian gave him a sideways glance, and said to Mr. Deng, "My name is Yu Nian, I'm from Beijing University, and I'm Yang Jiayue's...friend."

"Hey, Beijing University is good, good boy!" Mr. Deng spoke with a maternal love, and that kind of tone would make every child like it.

"No..." Yu Nian was a little embarrassed.

Teacher Deng smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Well," Yu Nian said, "I've never eaten such delicious rice cake soup."

"Hehe, then eat more, if there is not enough for the teacher to do it..." Teacher Deng smiled kindly, "Xiao Yang loves rice cakes the most, fried, fried, soup, fried, he likes how I make them Eat, he said, every time I eat rice cakes, my heart is like this thing, soft..."

Yu Nian's face became hot, and he wondered if it was caused by the chili oil.

Teacher Deng had a short conversation with Yang Jiayue, and asked him about his recent situation.

Yang Jiayue also asked the teacher how their health was, whether there were many students, whether they were too busy, etc.

After the meal, the three drank tea for a while. Teacher Deng asked Yang Jiayue if he wanted to take some away. He said, "I can't make tea. The gentleman stays away from the kitchen. I will ask the teacher after I get married."

Teacher Deng laughed straight away.

Before leaving, Yu Nian saw Yang Jiayue stuffing money into Mr. Deng's hand, and immediately realized that he wanted to treat him to dinner, so he hurriedly took out his wallet.

Teacher Deng laughed and scolded: "Don't give me anything. If you visit the teacher more often, the teacher will be happy. Take it back, take it back!"

Yang Jiayue stuffed it into Teacher Deng's pocket, and said with a playful smile, "I will pay you for the tea for my future daughter-in-law. Teacher, if you don't accept it, I won't bring my daughter-in-law to you!"

Mr. Deng was angry and ridiculous, cursing words like "bastard", but he had no choice but to give up.

After coming out, Yang Jiayue said helplessly: "Every time I give the teacher money, it's like fighting, and I have to make up a bunch of words to coax her."

Yu Nian held the money and wanted to return it to Yang Jiayue: "How much did you give? I'll give it to you!"

Yang Jiayue said: "You want to fight with me, don't you?"

Yu Nian: "Say yes, I'll treat you to dinner."

Yang Jiayue smiled: "You don't have to be so active if you want to be my daughter-in-law?"

Yu Nian: "..."

Seeing him blushing again because of such a sentence, Yang Jiayue couldn't help but find it funny, it's really a child's thinking, he takes everything others say...

"What are your plans for the afternoon?" Yang Jiayue asked.

Yu Nian: "Go to the Science and Technology City to buy a computer."

Yang Jiayue asked: "Desktop or notebook?"

Yu Nian: "I don't know either."

Yang Jiayue: "Buy it without thinking about anything? You don't plan to buy the cheapest one like buying a mobile phone again?"

Yu Nian: "I don't have one!" I bought it after shopping around...

Yang Jiayue: "Let's go, I'll accompany you."

Yu Nian: "You don't go to class?"

Yang Jiayue: "It's not time yet."

Yang Jiayue himself is not very good at choosing computers, so he called a friend who studies computers to inquire about the latest market and computer prices.The other party sent several sets of data, and recommended several notebooks with high cost performance.

With the help of Yang Jiayue, Yu Nian quickly selected one. At this time, notebooks were very expensive, and the better ones cost tens of thousands. The one Yu Nian bought was only more than 6000 including various accessories. It's still expensive for him, but he's happy.

No one had ever bought things with him before, and no one had discussed with him. This time, Yang Jiayue was always by his side, patiently consulting for him, helping him choose styles one by one, and bargaining with the shopkeeper...

With someone to accompany him, Yu Nian had confidence in his mind and was not afraid of being cheated.

After buying a computer, the boss installed it for him, downloaded and installed some commonly used software, Yang Jiayue asked him if he had a QQ number, Yu Nian said he hadn't used it.

The boss laughed and said, "I'm a college student and haven't used QQ yet?"

Yang Jiayue pointed to the little penguin that just appeared on the screen and said, "Look, this is it."

Yu Nian has seen it on the school computer, and occasionally seen Wang Min and the others use it, but he has never played it himself.

Yang Jiayue said: "Come on, little fool, I'll apply for you when I get back."

little fool...

Obviously a fool is a derogatory term, but adding the word "little" in front of it gives it an extra pampering flavor out of thin air.

These words just came out of Yang Jiayue's mouth again, that voice, that intonation...

For a moment, Yu Nian wanted to call him "brother"...

Hey.

Afterwards, Yang Jiayue drove Yu Nian back to Beijing University on a motorcycle. Before leaving, he said: "The warranty period of the notebook is one year, and it can be returned or exchanged within seven days. No matter how busy these days are, you should use it first. If you have any questions, please call me." I."

Yu Nian nodded, wanting to say thank you, but he had already said too much thank you this day, and it was the first time he detested his clumsy tongue.

Yang Jiayue said: "Then I'm leaving."

Yu Nian: "You... wait."

Yang Jiayue: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Yu Nian muttered for a long time, and asked, "Why are you so kind to me?"

Yang Jiayue was stunned, he didn't expect Yu Nian to ask this.

Yu Nian stared at Yang Jiayue's neckline, not daring to look up.It's not that he is being affectionate, he really thinks that Yang Jiayue treats him very well...

"You," Yang Jiayue looked at him, and said after a while, "It's hard work alone, isn't it?"

These words seemed to have pierced Yu Nian's heart, and his eyes were sore in an instant.

Yang Jiayue said: "In college, if you can make more friends, you can make more friends. Now these are still very good. When you get in touch with people in the society, you will know that being a person is actually very tiring. Now you can still learn to be more friendly. There are people everywhere on campus, don’t always be so tired alone.”

Yu Nian: "..." So Yang Jiayue dislikes his lack of friends?
