Roommates are not straight

At the beginning of February, the foreigners who have been busy in the imperial capital for a whole year are starting to prepare for going home for the New Year. They either ask the door to dig out the window to buy train tickets, or go directly to the airline customer service who is always stern and selfless at this time to buy. Air tickets with no discount at all, or directly book the bumpy long-distance bus for more than ten hours in advance... In short, as the new year is approaching, those who are usually hidden by the fast-paced life in the busy city are a good homecoming Heart, has begun to be exposed a little bit in the increasingly restless atmosphere of Kyoto.

Homecoming, Spring Festival travel, reunion... These words with strong Chinese sentiments have become the focus of mainstream society.However, such a strong homecoming plot seems to have not infected the five ITs living in Room 11011, Building L, Area B at all.

Among the five people, Li Libang was not planning to go home as usual, while Guo Mingyuan had already booked a flight ticket from the imperial capital to the US imperialism on the eve of New Year's Eve.Zhang Jia does have plans to go back for the New Year, but since he was promoted, his wallet has bulged a lot, which is far from the comparison of his poor student days, so he doesn't worry about going home at all, when he wants to go back and book a plane ticket That’s good, even if you can’t buy the economy class, the first-class air ticket will always be there, but it’s only two or three times the price. Just drizzle.

Cai Yang's family called several times and asked when he would go back. He felt that if he dared to say that he would not go home during the New Year, he would definitely be hunted down by his tough mother with a kitchen knife.What's more, he has other plans.Gu Wenyu is a member of the Dai ethnic group, they celebrate the Spring Festival, and they don’t care whether they go home or not, but Cai Yang couldn’t bear to leave him alone and run to reunite with his family, so he planned to take him back with him.However, with the current relationship between him and Gu Wenyu, he was a little guilty, and he couldn't imagine how his family would react if they knew the truth.I have been thinking about it for a long time, and it has been dragging on like this.By this time, the train ticket is designated as hopeless, since it is always necessary to fly, there is no need to worry.

Therefore, there are only five days before New Year's Eve, but several ITs are very calm.

The software project development of the studio has basically come to an end. Cai Yang has been relatively free these days and can get off work on time, but Gu Wenyu is not so lucky. Although he knows that there is not much hope before the Spring Festival, he still takes the studio with him. Several people went around talking about cooperation with others, hoping to put the software on the market as soon as possible, so they came back very late every time.

When he was not so busy before, Cai Yang would occasionally sneak out of his room to find him at night, the two of them would chat, make some supper, drink some beer, do some favorite things, and then catch up with other people when they woke up. Go to work before coming over.However, considering that several other ITs are still under the same roof, they are very restrained, and they only have two or three times in more than a month, and most of the time they discuss computer programs very seriously.

Like Gu Wenyu, Zhang Jia and Li Libang were also unlucky. They still worked overtime until very late every day before floating back like wandering spirits. So these nights, Guo Mingyuan and Cai Yang were often the only ones in the apartment.

Brother Guo started to pack the suitcase, and he turned the whole house upside down, all kinds of sundries, books, papers and data cables were flying all over the place, and some antiques that had been dusty for many years were also dug out from every corner by him.After Cai Yang came back from get off work, he was idle, so he helped his brother tidy up.

"By the way, brother, you don't need to take the GRE or TOEFL? I didn't see you sign up for the test." Cai Yang got into Guo Mingyuan's room that night, sat cross-legged on the floor, and helped him clean up a pile of dust. Ask about theoretical books.

"I took the exam. I took the exam last year." Guo Mingyuan replied, while he was sitting on the bed sorting out a bunch of old photos.Brother Guo, who has already run to the third year, held a photo of himself when he was a green boy, with a sad and fascinated face, and felt sad again: "Hey, it's better to be young, look at how energetic you were at that time, and your smile was so romantic !"

"You're not bad now! You're a handsome guy! Rich, talented, and beautiful! Which girl doesn't want to throw you down when she sees you?" Cai Yang has long been used to Brother Guo's laments from time to time, and teased him nonchalantly.

"It's not enough, it's old, it's old..." Guo Mingyuan shook his head modestly, sorted out those old photos one by one, carefully put them into a beautiful box, and then roughly stuffed them into a box that was almost full. Burst out of the suitcase.

"Brother, why do you bring so many photos, just scan them into the computer and save them, so as not to take up space."

"Hey, you don't understand this. The so-called being alone in a foreign land is a stranger, and you miss your loved ones during the festive season. Why cut the candles in the west window together, but when it rains at night in Bashan. The photos that can be held in your hand, and the computer. The data on the Internet still give people a different feeling.”

Cai Yang stared straight at Guo Mingyuan, and was stunned for a long time before he said: "Brother, the two poems you just said... are not from the same poem..."

"Oh? Is that so? It's not the same song! Hehehe, it's all the same, it's almost the same meaning, hehehe..." Brother Guo rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes and laughed. "But it's pretty easy for me to say..."

Cai Yang: "..."

He also helped Guo Mingyuan sort the last stack of books into categories. Cai Yang was about to stand up and move his legs, but suddenly a picture floated out from which book. Cai Yang picked it up and looked at it, and found that there was There was no Guo Mingyuan, just three [-]- or [-]-year-old boys, shoulder to shoulder with each other, smiling brightly at the camera.

"Brother, is this your friend? I don't know which book it is in, here it is." Cai Yang handed the photo to Guo Mingyuan.

Guo Mingyuan took a look at the photo, thought hard for a long time, and then said "ah", and said: "This is a classmate I met at the National High School Math Summer Camp more than ten years ago, but I am not very familiar with them, if I remember correctly In other words, I was in Group A at the time, and these people belonged to Group B, but how could I have their photos? It’s so strange..."

"Perhaps it was taken by mistake?"

"Maybe..." Guo Mingyuan frowned and thought for a long time, "Didn't you see which book it fell out of?"

"No... But I guess it should be these few books..." Cai Yang gave three of them to Guo Mingyuan.

"Huh? This book doesn't seem to be mine..." Guo Mingyuan picked out one of them and turned the book over to read, "Immortal? Is it Milan Kundera's? How can I have such a profound book?"

"It should belong to the owner of the photo..." Cai Yang suddenly became interested, and took the photo over for a closer look.

If Cai Yang has any other special ability besides computer talent, it is that his eyes are very good.This has already appeared when he first showed his skills in "adjusting the program with the naked eye" in the studio.So he quickly discovered a detail problem in this photo.

"Huh? Brother, look, there is another person behind here, why does it look so much like you?"

Under Cai Yang's instructions, Guo Mingyuan saw a figure in a white shirt and jeans far behind the three people in the photo.Their original summer camp was in Shanghai, and the background of the photo was the most iconic Bund and Oriental Pearl Tower.But the white shirt turned his back to the camera, lying leisurely on the fence, overlooking the Huangpu River.Because taking pictures at this kind of scenic spot will inevitably include some passers-by, so Guo Mingyuan didn't notice it at first, but now Cai Yang reminded him to identify carefully, the person in the white shirt is not himself!

Seeing Guo Mingyuan staring at the photo for a long time, Cai Yang slowly frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I think... this photo seems familiar... but I can't remember where I saw it."

"I guess it was specially given to you by your classmate back then. What an interesting coincidence, you just happened to be included in the photo. Put it away and keep it as a souvenir!"

Guo Mingyuan nodded and silently put away the photos.

When Gu Wenyu was lying on the bed at night, Cai Yang sent him a text message asking: How was the negotiation today?When are you coming back?

It took a while for Gu Wenyu to reply to him:

On the subway, almost home.

Cai Yang felt that it was too hard for Gu Wenyu to run around like this every day, and the company’s business would increase in the future, so he couldn’t do it all the time, so he sent a text message saying: Boss, do you need a driver?I am in good health with no hidden diseases, dignified appearance and gentle disposition, why not?

Gu Wenyu replied quickly:

Want it, want it now.

Cai Yang's heart beat a few beats faster, and he sent another message saying:

If you want someone, come home with me for the New Year!

This time, it took a little longer for Gu Wenyu to reply:

OK, I'll go home with you.

……

Cai Yang finally fell asleep before Gu Wenyu came back, but before he fell asleep, he had an idea.Since Senior Brother Guo is going abroad, his little Buick will not be used anymore. He is going to say more good things these few days, and try to get Senior Brother’s car, so that Gu Wenyu will have a special car when he goes out to discuss business in the future. .Gu Wenyu can't drive, but he can drive by himself. When the time comes, he will become the exclusive driver, and Gu Wenyu will follow wherever he goes, so he doesn't have to worry about those female customers thinking of him.

Not to mention whether Cai Yang's little idea succeeded or not, the three days passed very quickly. Almost in the blink of an eye, several ITs stood in the lobby of the Capital International Airport, and they sent off Guo Mingyuan, who had dreamed of studying abroad for many years, to leave. In the arms of the motherland, he defected to the US emperor.In Guo Shixiong's own words, he finally stepped out of the country before breaking through the 30-year-old mark. Therefore, despite his reluctance, the farewell was not very sad.
