The clouds gradually enveloped the moonlight, the light dimmed slightly, and a mist spread over the wilderness.Xu Yue stood at the patch of reeds she passed by at night, touched her wet hair, and thought vaguely: I was really left here.

He rummaged through his pockets, but couldn't find his phone, feeling a little uneasy.

Forget it, let's walk back along the highway, and the traffic police should find it soon.

He was thinking of going out, but lost his way and walked deep into the grass.

It is obvious that the body is out of control.Xu Yue panicked and tried to back away.However, things backfired and his body was forcibly taken deeper.

In the center of the reeds is a black open space where dense mist gathers.Xu Yue couldn't see the path under her feet, she only knew that she was approaching the open space.

A leaf burst out through the wind and brushed past Xu Yue's face!He couldn't turn his head, all his nerves were focused on his hearing, and he clearly caught the footsteps behind him.

The rustling footsteps are getting closer, getting closer...

--boom!The violent impact came suddenly, Xu Yue's body fell straight forward...

His body sank a little bit, and he struggled in panic, but the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.The mud quickly wrapped his body, and Xu Yue realized at this moment that the center was not an open space but a swamp.

"Who? Get out!" Xu Yue roared angrily.

The man had long hair loose and approached step by step with a crazy smile on his face.Xu Yue's complexion changed suddenly, and she kept backing away.At this moment, the person in front of her suddenly changed, showing half of her face with a wound, and said, "Xu Yue, let's go, come with me."

Xu Yue recognized the person who came, she breathed a sigh of relief, stopped struggling and let her body keep falling.Just when the field of vision gradually narrowed and the breathing was about to stagnate, a few shouts came from the ear:

"Xu Yue, wake up—"

Xu Yue suddenly opened her eyes, facing He Yinghan who was waving.He sat up and stared straight at the person in front of him.

"Why did you fall asleep on the sofa?" He Yinghan asked suspiciously, then touched Xu Yue's forehead with the back of his hand, "Fortunately, I don't have a fever."

Xu Yue half-closed her eyes and didn't refuse any more. After a while, she came to her senses and glanced at He Yinghan's pajamas.

"It just so happens that there is another set." He Yinghan turned around and returned to his room. When he came back, he held the clothes in his hand, looked Xu Yue up and down, and said, "Put on mine first. The trousers may be a bit short. Let's make up for it."

Xu Yue let out a muffled "hmm".

At six o'clock the next day, Xu Yue reluctantly followed He Yinghan out.Speeding all the way out of the urban area, the street trees on both sides of the road moved back rapidly.About two hours later, the surrounding trees were no longer verdant, and a corner of the villa complex could be vaguely glimpsed.

He Yinghan parked the car in front of the door.Xu Yue looked at the off-white building in front of her, "Is this your home?"

"Ah."

Xu Yue was slightly surprised. He suddenly remembered that when Chen Yanyan introduced He Yinghan in class, she seemed to say that he was studying for a Ph.D.

Graduated from a prestigious school and from a good family background, why do you want to teach in such a remote school?Xu Yue couldn't help turning her head to look at him.

He Yinghan unbuttoned his seat belt, leaned down to help Xu Yue untie it, and said, "Look at what I'm doing, I've got flowers on my face?"

"You..." Stay away from me.

He Yinghan said "huh?", and pushed the door open and shouted, "Grandma, I'm back."

Mrs. He just got up and greeted them as soon as she saw them.The soy milk fritters on the dining table were steaming, He Yinghan took him to sit down and handed him an egg.

Xu Yue took it and reminded He Yinghan, "You said you would send me back to school today."

He Yinghan knocked the egg on the table and said, "Sorry, there is no such option now." After peeling the eggshell, he slowly tore off the egg skin, "Follow me, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Just as Xu Yue was about to speak, He Yinghan raised his right hand, opened his palm, and put the key on it: "You talk too much. Now, the key."

Later, Xu Yue didn't understand why she held the key at that time.Perhaps it was the coldness unique to metal that made his fingers curl up when the key slammed down.Or maybe the wind was picked up by the fingertips smelling of lime, and the lines on his palms were wrinkled.

He Yinghan grabbed Xu Yue's arm and shook it a few times while Xu Yue was not paying attention, Xu Yue unpreparedly "hissed".

He Yinghan blinked innocently, "Don't eat cold breakfast anymore."

"..."

Looking out from the window of the restaurant, you can see the hedges on both sides of the path. The plain white flowers are lying on the bushes, dense and large, like the low clouds in the sky in the summer evening.Xu Yue remembered that he had seen this kind of flower before, but the color was different, so he took a second look.

In the evening, He Yinghan's parents came back.The old lady poked her head out from the sofa, "shh", and said, "Xiaobai is asleep, please keep your voice down."

He Xinyuan didn't hear clearly, saw Xu Yue at the side, and asked He Yinghan, "Who is this?"

He Yinghan said: "My student, Xu Yue."

He Xinyuan knew that He Yinghan had gone to high school as a substitute teacher, but he didn't expect to become one with the students within a few days of going there.He sat down and pushed the grapes on the coffee table towards Xu Yue, "Don't be restrained, treat it like your own home."

Father He's enthusiasm made Xu Yue feel uncomfortable, so she had to bite the bullet and peel the grapes.

He Yinghan sat with him for a while, but was called into the kitchen by his mother.Xu Si and He Xinyuan come back every time, and she cooks by herself every time.

The soup in the casserole was gurgling, Xu Si lifted the lid and poured the shiitake mushrooms in, and asked He Yinghan who was drinking water beside him: "Did you bring your partner back?"

"Pfft..." He Yinghan coughed uncontrollably, "cough cough——"

"He looks good, but he's a little younger, he looks like a minor..." Xu Si patted him on the back to help him feel better, and continued, "You can't be the one who cheated me, did you?"

He Yinghan was so out of breath from coughing, he kept waving at Xu Si.

"It's not underage, it's not a scam, that's good." After she finished speaking, she leaned out and took a sneak peek, and couldn't help asking He Yinghan, "How did you know each other?"

He Yinghan blushed from coughing, pulled back Xu Si's leaning body, and said helplessly, "Mom, please forgive me, that's my student, he's only 17."

In fact, Xu Si was not to blame for this matter. He Yinghan suddenly came out to his family on his 18th birthday, which caught the whole family off guard.His grandma just happened to go upstairs to add clothes and didn't hear it, otherwise the matter would have become even more troublesome.

So when He Yinghan was old, his parents didn't worry about his marriage. Only the old lady complained that her son and daughter-in-law didn't care, and arranged endless blind dates for him.

Compared to grandma He Yinghan, his parents' reaction was much gentler, and they gave him time to make sure and figure out the path he was going to take before seeking their opinions.

He Yinghan can still recall He Xinyuan's words now, he said:

"Yinghan, we gave you this name in the hope that you would bloom like a plum blossom in the frost. When you were young, you were full of spirit and forcibly instilled your beliefs in the next generation. Later, I think you can't force it...but you The path you choose, whether you want to engage in scientific research in the future or decide what kind of person you like, is actually suitable."

Then he added: "But you have your reasons, and I also have my persistence. I'm not ready to accept it."

He Yinghan put the last sentence to the back of his mind and gave his parents a big hug. Not long after, he went abroad to study happily.

During the years of studying abroad, he did not know whose advice he had listened to. The best way to change his parents' attitude from reluctance to adaptation was desensitization.

He Yinghan began to send pictures of mixed-race male models to Xu Si in different ways.

Finally one day, his mother secretly asked him in the voice, "You...how can your child change objects so frequently. And...you are too strong," she paused, asking very hard, " What about you, um... he won't hit you, will he?"

He Yinghan almost couldn't help laughing on the other end of the phone.After he explained it, Xu Si was still very worried about him, and he gritted his teeth and said that he should not find boys from abroad, because our country is very good.

After repeated many times, He Yinghan finally overcorrected and could only stay in the kitchen, confirming with his mother over and over again that Xu Yue was really his student, not abducted by him.

No one noticed that Xu Yue was standing in the shadow by the door with a cup in his hand, and Xu Yue deliberately lowered his footsteps when he left.He didn't want to eavesdrop, he just wanted to pour water.
