light rain

Chapter 11

At Richard's place, Yi Lin kindly agreed to let him stay at home alone. For this reason, Yi Lin, in addition to swearing that he would not make the injury worse, also owed Richard a big favor—promised that he would promise him one thing unconditionally in the future.

This is like a ticking time bomb, but Yi Lin can't control so much in order to make the plan come true.

At eight o'clock the next day, Yi Lin woke up naturally and full of energy. Waking up at this point was an unprecedented feat on a rest day.After eating the breakfast Finny prepared for him yesterday, Yi Lin looked at the clock, it was only nine o'clock.

Sitting and watching the second hand ticking like this is really torturing, but he turned on the game console and didn't want to play games, so Yi Lin had to get up and find something to do.

Yi Lin leaned on a cane to check around the house, rearranged the order of the books on the bookshelf, and wiped the almost spotless table with a paper towel, for fear that something was not clean enough.

In fact, this house is not often lived in, and Yi Lin's family education is also strict, and he never throws things away.In addition, the nanny will come to clean it regularly, and it is almost as clean as a model house.Where there is anything that needs to be tidied up, the four words "seeking trouble when nothing is wrong" were vividly reflected by Yi Lin at this time.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Yi Lin was even more restless, leaning on a cane at the door, ready to open the door at any time.If Richard was here, he would definitely not be able to figure it out, because Yi Lin had never been so nervous even if he was on stage for the first time.

Finally, when the clock struck nine fifty-five, the doorbell rang.

Yi Lin subconsciously wanted to open the door immediately, but paused for a few seconds on the doorknob.You can't open it immediately, otherwise the teacher must know that you are waiting at the door, no no no!Yi Lin took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.Coupled with the most relaxed smile, it is youthful and invincible, harmless to humans and animals.

Yu Qing outside the door was wearing a white short T-shirt with a stand-up collar and light khaki trousers.He didn't bring a bag, and he just held the textbook of Chinese studies in his hand, with a silver pen on the cover.He just stood there, wearing the simplest clothes, but it was so bright that it seemed that the whole corridor was dazzling with his arrival.

"Teacher, please come in."

Yu Qing put on the slippers that Yi Lin just took out yesterday, and Yi Lin took Yu Qing to the study room. In fact, apart from the white bookshelves full of comic books, this place really doesn't look like a study room—because even There is not even a regular table and chair.

On the furry beige carpet is a chinchilla that is bigger than a person, and there are several beanbags of various styles beside it, and there are still traces of the last sitting position on it.Standing at the door, Yu Qing could already imagine how Yi Lin tossed and turned in this room.

In addition to these, there are three CD racks taller than a person, which are filled with various animation DVDs, and there are many more DVDs that cannot fit neatly piled up on the side, which is almost half the height of a person.Of course, there are several indispensable game consoles and viewing equipment.

It's a pretty standard, 20 year old boy entertaining room.

Yi Lin put his crutches aside, sat on a beanbag nearby, and moved himself into a comfortable position.For a boy of this age, even if his legs and feet are injured, he is still so flexible and active.

"Teacher, sit wherever you want!"

After speaking, Yi Lin looked at Yu Qing with a smile.In fact, there is a serious study room at home, Yi Lin just wanted to see what the usually cold teacher would look like in such a room.

Yu Qing entered the study and sat directly on the carpet, obviously he didn't like the boneless feeling.Even in such a lazy room, his back is still straight and energetic.

Looking at Yu Qing like this, Yi Lin obviously felt out of place, but he looked so comfortable and beautiful sitting there.

It looks good in front of the podium, looks good on the roof, and looks even better at home!

Before Yu Qing opened his mouth to dislike his staring eyes, Yi Lin asked, "What would you like to drink, teacher?"

While talking, Yi Lin took out all kinds of drinks from the small refrigerator beside him, everything was available.In fact, I asked Finny to prepare this yesterday. Since I don't know what the teacher likes to drink, I just bought them all!

Yu Qing looked at the drinks on the table, but asked, "Is there any water?"

Yi Lin was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Yes!"

As he spoke, he moved again and took out a bottle of mineral water from the small refrigerator.Only then did he realize that his portrait was still printed on the seal, and he smiled a little embarrassedly.

Yu Qing didn't say anything, just took the water and said: "Thank you".

Should have thought of it earlier!The teacher should not like drinking drinks!Yi Lin made a note in his heart, and planned to replace all the small refrigerators with mineral water tomorrow!

Yu Qing glanced at Yi Lin who was smiling and fixed her eyes on her, and said, "Can we start?"

"can!"

Saying that, Yi Lin quickly put all the drinks back in the refrigerator to make room.Put your own textbooks on the coffee table, and be ready to take notes at any time with a pen.Of course, as an artist who has made movies, his eyes cannot be without drama.Therefore, apart from his actions, Yi Lin looked at Yu Qing with a thirsty expression, just like a child in a poor mountainous area seeing a teaching teacher...

However, these seemed to be completely ignored by Yu Qing.

Starting from the syllabus of the whole course, Yu Qing began to teach Yi Lin very clearly.

In fact, Yi Lin has listened to a lot of the teacher's lessons.But the classroom is too big, the teacher always stands behind the podium, and I sit in the last row, so the distance in a straight line is two to thirty meters.Although it is closer on the rooftop, most of them are the teacher's back or profile.Except for the first time when we met and hiding from the rain, it was the first time that I could look at the teacher quietly like this.

This year, Yi Lin has seen more handsome men and women than in his entire life. If you want to say handsome, there are too many perfect faces like sculptures;There is no shortage of good-looking people in the entertainment industry.But it was difficult for Yi Lin to describe the teacher in front of him in one word.

The teacher sat so calmly and gracefully, with jet-black hair lying softly on his forehead, making his already fair skin even fairer.He has a high nose bridge, thin lips, a handsome neck and a clearly defined collarbone.

When he is in class, it is different from usual, not so cold, and he is a very charming lecturer.

He will occasionally look into your eyes, those eyes are very beautiful, like the clear sky after the rain.When looking into those eyes, it always makes people feel dizzy.

At this moment, Yi Lin's heart skipped a beat because of the lingering eyes.

"Are you listening?" Yu Qing asked, looking at Yi Lin who was staring at her in a daze.

Yi Lin quickly nodded seriously.

"Then tell me your understanding of this chapter."

In fact, Yi Lin didn't listen to what Yu Qing said just now.But this does not affect his answer to this question, because in fact, he has already read this course very well.If it wasn't intentional, at least a score of 90 or more could be scored on that paper.

So after Yi Lin answered clearly, Yu Qing nodded affirmatively.He continued to talk, and he continued to stare at himself in a daze.

In fact, apart from being an artist, another profession that is used to being noticed should be a teacher.All teachers hope that when they are in class, students will listen to their lectures attentively.

Although, it wasn't the attention-grabbing method like Yi Lin.

The morning passed quickly, and while Yu Qing paused, Yi Lin took the opportunity to ask:

"Teacher, what do you want for lunch?"

Before Yu Qing could answer, Yi Lin took out a large stack of takeaway orders from somewhere. Since Richard gave him a lot of new ones, it was really spectacular to take them out.

"I have a lot of takeaway orders here, teacher, what do you want to eat?"

Seeing the surprise in Yu Qing's eyes, Yi Lin explained with a smile:

"I just order takeaway at home, which is more convenient. I have eaten in these restaurants, and the teacher can rest assured that the food is delicious."

Yu Qing took the takeout order, looked at it for a long time, and finally only ordered one piece of sushi.Yi Lin also ordered an eel rice, a sashimi platter and a few snacks at the same shop, for fear of neglecting the teacher.

Yu Qing heard him report the order, which was enough for five people, and said:

"The two of us can't eat so much, so don't waste less."

Hearing what the teacher said, Yi Lin quickly changed the order, leaving only one eel rice and the sushi ordered by the teacher.

"Teacher likes to eat Japanese food?" Yi Lin asked after hanging up the phone.

"I usually cook for myself."

Yu Qing's casual answer made Yi Lin feel worthy of a master's degree in the Chinese Department. The teacher's implication was that he didn't like to eat Japanese food, but he didn't like to eat takeaway.No wonder he didn't even look at the few restaurants with a slightly heavier taste just now. He probably chose sushi only because of the light taste.

"oh, I see!"

Yi Lin just smiled on his face, and then chatted with Yu Qing about some trivial things in school, but in his heart he had already started to make small calculations for tomorrow.

With a "ding dong", the doorbell rang.

Yi Lin leaned on a cane and went out from the study to open the door, put the takeaway on the dining table and asked the teacher to eat together.After eating a portion of grilled eel rice, he felt full. Yi Lin looked at Yu Qing who was opposite. The teacher must not have eaten those eight small sushi.It seems that my previous inference should be correct, and I can't make the teacher hungry tomorrow.

Yi Lin couldn't sit down directly after lunch, so Yi Lin used this reason to drag the teacher to look at his collection.Out-of-print comics, first-issue magazines, limited-edition figures, and collector's edition DVDs for collections.

Yu Qing was obviously not very interested in those animations, and her eyes were attracted by an unopened DVD—"The Great Gatsby".Yi Lin quickly noticed the lingering eyes of the teacher, picked up the video and asked:

"Does the teacher like this movie?"

"I've read the book, but didn't see the movie when it came out."

"I haven't seen it either! Let's watch it together!"

As he said that, before Yu Qing could answer, Yi Lin had already unpacked and put the video disc into the DVD.

After pressing the power button and not forgetting to close the curtains, the whole room went dark, obviously 8 did not give Yu Qing any chance to refuse.

If it weren't for the red and swollen ankles, Yu Qing would have thought that he was pretending to be lame, how could he be so flexible while on crutches.Just as Yu Qing was admiring Yi Lin's flexibility, Yi Lin dragged a lazy sofa and sat down next to Yu Qing.

"Teacher, sit on the sofa and watch! This is the most comfortable way!" He said, pointing to the sofa behind Yu Qing.

"It's okay, I can just sit here." Yu Qing politely declined his kindness.

"Teacher, try it!" Yi Lin said, and pulled the sofa behind Yu Qing closer to him.

Yu Qing didn't bother to hang around with Yi Lin anymore, so she just sat on the sofa to calm him down.Seeing the teacher sitting next to him, Yi Lin began to watch the movie with peace of mind.

After the movie started, Yi Lin didn't say anything, but watched the movie very quietly with the teacher.More than two hours passed by.

The flamboyant and illusory American dream, the luxurious high society, fantasy, love, lies and mutual attraction are all vividly displayed on the screen.

When Gatsby's castle went from partying all night to being empty at his funeral.The film uses gorgeous scenes and elegant rhetoric to describe a story of unrequited love, undying dreams and embarrassment.

Perhaps because of the gloom at the end of the movie, neither of them spoke until the end of the subtitles.Yi Lin got up and opened the curtains, but heard Yu Qing ask:

"Have you ever heard of the Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami's "The Bakery Again"?"

Yi Lin shook his head, returned to sit next to the teacher, and quietly listened to him continue.

"One night, the newly married young couple woke up suddenly, both of them were extremely hungry, and swept away the little food left in the house, and the hunger was still extremely fierce.

This is not a normal hunger, the wife said:

'I've never been so hungry. '

At this moment, the male protagonist involuntarily replied:

'I used to rob a bakery. '

'What about robbing a bakery? 'The wife grabbed hold of this sentence and asked.

It turns out that when he was young, the hero once went to rob a bakery with his best buddy, not for money, but just for bread.

The robbery went well, and the bakery owner showed no sign of resistance.However, in exchange, he would like to invite two young people to accompany him to listen to Wagner's music.The two young men hesitated, but agreed anyway.After all, in this way, bread is not "robbed" but "exchanged".

So, after listening to Wagner's music with the boss, the two young people "got their wish" and left with the bread.

However, the hero and his companions were so shocked that they discussed for several days whether it would be better to rob or exchange bread.The two rationally believe that the exchange is very good, after all, it does not break the law.However, intuitively, the hero feels that some important but unclear psychological activity is taking place.He vaguely felt that he shouldn't exchange with the shop owner, instead he should threaten him with a knife and just snatch the bread away.

When telling his wife about this incident, the male protagonist said: "But we always feel that there is a big mistake in this, and this mistake has left a very dark shadow in our lives inexplicably. Doubtfully we are cursed! '

'Not only are you cursed, I feel cursed too. ' said the wife.

This, she believed, was the source of this inexplicable and incomparably ferocious hunger.To resolve this hunger, to resolve this curse, you must fulfill this unfulfilled wish—really rob the bakery again.

In the end, the newlyweds drove the car, took the masks and guns that their wife had prepared, and robbed a bakery—a McDonald’s. "

Yu Qing told the story eloquently, but she didn't have the charm of speaking on the podium.Instead, he spoke slowly in an extremely flat tone, as if he was recalling something far away in the sky.

The story seemed to be over. Yi Lin couldn't figure out his thoughts for a while while listening to this seemingly absurd story.Yu Qing looked into his eyes and said:

"A wish that has not been fulfilled actually has a very powerful power!"

When he said this, there was a trace of helpless smile.Those clear and beautiful eyes were also a little dim because of the loneliness at the moment, as if they were covered with a thin layer of mist.

"Gatsby's life is just for the dream that he couldn't get at the beginning. If the attempted robbery of the bakery is a curse to the hero, then the love that ended without a cause is a curse to him. Is that what the teacher means?"

Yi Lin was silent for a moment, then said: "But I think the sad thing may not be that period... not that period of the past. It's the self who refuses to admit and accept failure."

Yi Lin's words made Yu Qing a little surprised. It was just a sudden feeling, and she didn't expect Yi Lin to have any insightful response, but she didn't expect him to answer like this.At this moment, Yu Qing saw something in this 20-year-old boy that he didn't usually show.

"Gatsby always thought that if he had money, he could win Daisy back. He never dared to face the fact of losing Daisy, and never really mourned the loss of Daisy. In fact, he was just more reluctant to admit his own loss." fail.

It is actually more difficult to admit your failure than to pretend to be a lifelong obsession.But if it were me, I would tell myself, 'Yi Lin, he doesn't love you anymore, it's not because of anything else, it's just that he doesn't love you anymore. '"

Saying that, Yi Lin smiled.The tone returned to its usual relaxed look and continued.

"Actually, even being sad for a year or so is more cost-effective than losing a lifetime of obsession!"

Hearing this, Yu Qing silently repeated what he said just now:

'Just don't love you anymore. '

A child who is only [-] years old can see much more thoroughly than himself.Thinking of this, Yu Qing smiled self-deprecatingly.Then he looked at Yi Lin and said:

"Based on your understanding, there is no need for me to make up lessons for you."

Unexpectedly, Yu Qing would say such a thing, Yi Lin couldn't continue to react no matter how fast he reacted, so he could only smile awkwardly at the teacher, regretting that he was so quick to talk, it's over now!

"Okay, let's stop here today." Saying that, Yu Qing got up to pack her textbooks.

"Teacher..." Seeing that the teacher was really going to leave, Yi Lin subconsciously wanted to stop him, but he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth.I had no choice but to follow the teacher slowly and send him out.

Holding the handle, Yu Qing turned around and said, "See you tomorrow."

Upon hearing that I will see you tomorrow, Yi Lin almost returned to heaven from hell, without controlling his emotions, a bright smile appeared on his face once again.

"See you tomorrow, teacher!"

As soon as the door closed, Yi Lin immediately took out his phone and called Finny.

"Finny, help me find some recipes for light home-cooked dishes, and then buy the raw materials for these dishes. I'm going to cook tomorrow!"
