Overtone

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Qi Ye was so happy that he laughed out loud.

It was such a coincidence that he really met him.

"Professor Xiao." Qi Ye said on the phone, "Your office is very powerful, and you can even make chocolate."

"of course can."

Xiao Cheng just let him make trouble.

Immediately afterwards, they were silent for a few seconds tacitly, and in the end both of them didn't hold back, and laughed uncontrollably on the phone.

"Okay." Qi Ye whispered, and then said "Thank you" very softly.

"Thinking of giving it to you tomorrow." Xiao Cheng said softly, with a very gentle tone, "but a little accident happened today."

Qi Ye was delighted to hear it.

"It's quite an accident for you." He said, "I even know what to send."

Xiao Cheng smiled lightly, Qi Ye could hear the relaxed expression on the phone.

After a while, he suddenly called out "Qi Ye" in a low voice.

——This tone seems to be hesitating to say something.

"What's wrong?" Qi Ye asked.

Xiao Cheng didn't answer.

Qi Ye turned the round stool while playing with the empty biscuit mold, waiting for Xiao Cheng to continue.

Not to mention, waiting for the other party to speak like this is quite anxious, and it makes my heart itch.

After waiting for a long time, just when Qi Ye couldn't help but want to ask, Xiao Cheng's voice came from the phone.

"Happy White Day," he said.

Qi Ye's movements paused, and he was slightly stunned.

He suddenly remembered the promise he made at Christmas, the promise to never miss any future holidays, and they did.

When I was in a trance, I laughed again on the other end of the phone.

"No, I'm not touched." Qi Ye rubbed his sore eye sockets, and said something stiffly.

"Of course." Xiao Cheng said, "Brother Qi has seen a lot of big scenes, so I don't need a word."

Qi Ye affirmed the first half of the sentence without hesitation.

He put the biscuits in the oven, and then corrected them sternly: "Why is it not bad, Brother Qi just likes to hear it, tell me more in the future."

"Then Brother Qi, do you want to listen to it again now?"

"Huh? I didn't hear that sentence clearly."

Not to mention, I feel tired of hearing this, but Qi Ye likes it.

"I said..." Xiao Cheng's tone was soft, and he repeated, "Prepare in advance, Happy White Day."

This sentence is just a few words.

But from the moment he heard it for the first time, Qi Ye couldn't help but have a sore nose, as if there were a lot of emotions in his heart, some moved, some joyed, and more, it was the kind of sadness and sadness that was not easy to know along the way. Wronged.

Qi Ye didn't know how to answer Xiao Cheng.

And this sentence, he said a few words, it will not work when it comes to "Valentine's Day".

Of course, Xiao Cheng couldn't let Xiao Cheng know about this, otherwise he would have to laugh at him again.

Qi Ye carefully adjusted the position of the biscuits on the baking tray according to the cooking teacher's gestures.And Xiao Cheng didn't hide anything anymore, listening to the conversation, it seemed that he had made another piece of chocolate.

At this moment, Xiao Cheng suddenly asked: "I'm here on Dongcheng Road, how about you?"

Qi Ye was about to set the temperature and time of the oven, he hesitated for a while after hearing this, and replied after a few seconds: "It's outside."

"Then come out for lunch?"

Qi Ye shook his head: "No, I have something to do."

"And at night?"

"That won't work either." Qi Ye readily refused, "I'm not free."

This is said, as if to make a lot of money.

Xiao Cheng smiled, as if he heard something: "What's wrong?"

"It's just that I don't have time." Qi Ye said, "You can give me the chocolate tomorrow. I'll see you in Paradise."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Ye was about to hang up the phone when Xiao Cheng called "Brother Qi" again.

It's still a very magnetic bass, but it seems to be a little coquettish, Qi Ye just can't stand him shouting this, once he shouts, he can't stand it, as if he is close to his ear, whispering.

In fact, counting the distance, it wasn’t that far away. They were more than a kilometer apart, and they agreed to walk 500 meters each to a location.

But Qi Ye didn't want to do that.

"Don't you want to know where I am?" Qi Ye asked.

Xiao Cheng said "hmm", and his tone was very expectant: "I'm here to find you."

Qi Ye smiled and said nothing.

He put the phone in the oven and pressed the OK button directly.

The mechanical female voice of the electronic broadcast sounded at once—"The oven temperature has been set: 170 degrees, and it is estimated to be 20 minutes."

Not much to say, and the oven has finished what it wants to say.

Before Xiao Cheng could react, Qi Ye simply said "see you tomorrow", and immediately hung up the phone decisively.

The effect is there, just wait until tomorrow.

Qi Ye's heart was itching, and Xiao Cheng was probably the same, but he wanted to push it to rekindle the fire.

The appointment with Xiao Cheng was at 07:30 in the morning, at the subway station near the west gate of the amusement park.

Because the parking fee is quite expensive, the fee is charged by the hour, and the ticket is also discounted in half, so Qi Ye also asked Xiao Cheng to take the subway.

Qi Ye specially prepared a big backpack, and according to the list he wrote a week ago, he stuffed everything into it, including a raincoat and sunglasses.Then, I leaned on the bed with my backpack in my arms and read travel notes and strategies.

It wasn't until the dawn dawned that Qi Ye woke up with a start when it came in through the bars.

Squinting and remembering for a few seconds, I knew that I fell asleep by leaning on it last night, and after thinking about it carefully, today is the day to go to the paradise.

Qi Ye was completely awake.

He turned off the five o'clock timer alarm clock, washed up hastily, and went out without even eating breakfast.

It wasn't that early in March, when Qi Ye went out, the corridor was very dark, almost in the dark, and walked out along the faint corridor light.

Then he saw a familiar figure.

Not to mention day and night, but it is indeed the person who has been thinking about it day and night, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and then waited for the person to come.

When they looked at each other, Xiao Cheng pointed to the lock on the iron door and mouthed that he couldn't get in.

Qi Ye also followed him: No, why didn't I see a lock on the door.

Although secretly happy in his heart, Qi Ye thought that time was tight, so he hurried over with his bag on his back, and obediently took out the keys.

When he unlocked it, he looked at Xiao Cheng: "Why are you here?"

"Brother Qi is hooking me, can I not come?" Xiao Cheng said this without any shyness, as if he had called Brother Qi the first time, and he was happy to keep calling like that.

Qi Ye couldn't help laughing, the key was still in the lock, so he handed the biscuit box he was carrying in his arms to Xiao Cheng: "It's the cookies that hook the greedy soul, it's not me."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng just laughed, took Qi Ye's backpack and walked towards the corner of the street.

Xiao Cheng came by car.

When Qi Ye got into the car, he saw a steaming McDonald's on the seat, all of which were his favorite breakfasts.

"Professor Xiao, I'm going to get fat." Qi Ye looked at the three hamburgers in the paper bag, "Give me all these in the bag?"

"I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so eat all of these." Xiao Cheng helped Qi Ye put on his seat belt: "If there's something you don't like or don't want to eat, just throw it to me."

Qi Ye glanced at him and said softly, "Thank you, Professor Xiao."

"So polite?" Xiao Cheng smiled.

"Isn't it... touched." Qi Ye said, "It will take half an hour for you to come here, and if you buy me breakfast, you must have not slept much last night."

Xiao Cheng shook his head listening, with a gentle smile in his eyes, he just said "eat quickly".

It always seems to be like this.

Those things that seem to be very hard, or require great perseverance, always give people a very simple, or understatement feeling.

Holding the hamburger, Qi Ye looked at Xiao Cheng, and just as he was about to say something, his phone turned on.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Xia Xingyan.

"I have a question." Qi Ye said, "Has Teacher Xia been here since that time?"

Xiao Cheng shook his head: "Wechat, phone, never contacted."

"Okay." Qi Ye replied, but intuitively felt that something was wrong, maybe it was something that happened in the office last time, which made him feel that it was not that simple.

And this feeling reached its peak when Xiao Cheng said that he and Xia Xingyan had asked for leave today in their office.

"It's not such a coincidence." Qi Ye said, "Isn't he also busy judging the associate professor?"

Xiao Cheng nodded: "It's a bit strange."

But this statement is unreasonable and unfounded, and there is no real evidence to directly poke others that you have bad intentions and want to engage in petty tricks or something.

Qi Ye handed the hamburger to Xiao Cheng, let him take a bite, and suddenly said, "Am I being too narrow-minded?"

Xiao Cheng smiled: "What?"

"Knowing that he has chased you, I think of him as bad." Qi Ye said.

"It's okay." Xiao Cheng switched to driving with one hand, and lightly patted the back of Qi Ye's hand, "Don't worry about him, I'm here."

Even so, Qi Ye felt quite confused.

How should I put it, it seems that on the one hand, I feel that I have done nothing wrong, that Xia Xingyan is indeed wrong to disturb Xiao Cheng like this, but on the other hand, I also feel that it is Xiao Cheng's colleague, maybe the tone of what I said last time was a bit harsh, but it can actually be more tactful.

Their car drove out of the bungalow and into the alley again.

After going around for a while, the morning mist finally dissipated at the moment of reaching the paradise, and the sun shone through the thin clouds in an instant.

——like going all the way to dawn.

Qi Ye was still holding the hot American style in his hand, seeing the wanton sunshine in front of him, he couldn't help admiring.

He turned his head, handed Xiao Cheng a sip of the chilled American style, and holding the cup, he said, "This trip is really worthwhile."

"Yeah." Xiao Cheng said, "Me too."

"Professor Xiao." Qi Ye called him suddenly. At this time, the warm sun was completely pouring into the car. He looked at the person beside him and said seriously, "Happy White Day."

Not a preparation, but a formal blessing.

Xiao Cheng smiled, reached out and turned off the 0-day countdown reminder displayed on the mobile phone software.

While waiting for the red light, he leaned over and kissed Qi Ye's cheek lightly, and his tone was extremely gentle: "Happy White Day."

Adults just count down the festivals, and they don't tear up the calendar every day to look forward to the winter and summer vacations like children.

But for this moment, they used all the methods of counting the days.

Qi Ye remembered that when he was a child, he wanted to go to an amusement park once, and he used a pen to record it on the cover of his homework book, and he would draw a stroke in a day, so he couldn't escape his parents' beating when he went back.

However, until now, he still likes to go to this place.

It's as if no matter what troubles you have, they will be completely annihilated at the moment of entering the park, following the balloons and the crowd, just floating and floating until they disappear into the vast and boundless sky.

Yeah, just let them be kids again.

No need to bear anything anymore, whether it is parents, family, or other responsibilities that should or should not be, those adult social laws cannot control them today.

They walked side by side like this, followed the lively crowd into the paradise, Xiao Cheng seemed to say something, which made Qi Ye laugh out loud.

After regaining his strength, Qi Ye whispered, "I really want to be like this forever."

"what?"

"I said it's really nice here, and we'll come over together later."

Qi Ye leaned into Xiao Cheng's ear and said something, then ran to the store and brought out a balloon in the shape of Mickey Mouse.When he looked at Xiao Cheng again, his eyelashes were smiling.

That is the most brilliant smile, a million times more wanton than a blooming Ecuadorian rose.

Qi Ye handed the balloon to Xiao Cheng, and smiled again when he raised his eyes: "Little friend Xiao, this is the first Valentine's Day gift my brother gave you——Happy Holidays to you again."
