Overtone

It has not been such a heavy rain for a long time.

Hit on the body, it makes people feel pain.

Qi Ye put on his seat belt, staring at the wiper in front of him - as quiet as a child who just finished crying.Xiao Cheng put the luggage in the back seat, got in the car and handed him the towel.

Seeing Xiao Cheng looking at him, Qi Ye forced a smile: "Leave me alone, just drive."

The towel he took was dry and warm, and Qi Ye felt that his emotions had taken in a little earlier, and he called out "Professor Xiao".

"Huh?" Xiao Cheng responded very gently, and then said softly, "It's okay."

Qi Ye was slightly stunned: "Do you know what I want to say?"

"I don't know." Xiao Cheng shook his head, "But I can wait for you to tell me."

That's right, he is such an emotional person, anyone can see that there is something hidden in his heart.

Although it was agreed that he would not be able to take on anything alone in the future, Xiao Cheng always gave him the most space. Qi Ye could wait anytime he said anything.

After a while, when the car got on the expressway, the rain gradually subsided. Qi Ye turned to look at Xiao Cheng, pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything else I need to be busy with for job evaluation?"

Xiao Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What?"

Qi Ye folded the towel, and changed the phrase, "It's nothing, I just want to ask you about being an associate professor because you are too tired."

Xiao Cheng listened, and after turning on the direction light, he said: "The job evaluation process has been completed. After the results are announced, there will be a half-month publicity period, about mid-June."

Qi Ye nodded, thought for a while, and didn't ask the next question.

How should I put it, looking at it is easy to say, but many times, the throat is blocked, and even the chest is uncomfortable. After finally sorting out my thoughts, I find that I don't know what to say when I speak the first word.

Xiao Cheng rolled down the car window to let the wind out, and said: "As an associate professor, you don't need to prepare too much. It's not too difficult to be a lecturer, but you will only review some items."

Qi Ye said "hmm".

"For example, the average annual teaching load requires [-] planning hours, and the publication of papers, two or more core journals. There are requirements for journals and source journal abstracts." Xiao Cheng said to Qi Ye about one thing. , "In addition to this, there are length of service, education, teaching content, academic achievements and related awards."

For some reason, every time Xiao Cheng said something, Qi Ye's heart sank a little, as if he felt more at ease.

"Is that all?" Qi Ye asked.

Xiao Cheng smiled: "Well, nothing else."

Qi Ye just looked at him like this, hesitating to speak.

"If you're still worried about something." Xiao Cheng parked the car at the rest stop and said comfortingly, "I'll show you the documents when I go back."

Hearing this, Qi Ye's tense nerves relaxed a little.

He picked up the cool toast and took a big bite. The corners of his eyes were still red, so Xiao Cheng wiped him with a paper towel for a while.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" Xiao Cheng asked.

Qi Ye shook his head, met Xiao Cheng's eyes, smiled and said, "How do you know I'm worried about job evaluation?"

Xiao Cheng still rubbed his cheek, and pinched it lightly: "You can see it."

The rain stopped completely at this time, Xiao Cheng rolled down both car windows to let the cool wind blow in.

"I know my mother's temper," he said, "so she must have said something harsh that day, right?"

"Actually, it's okay, so I'll talk about something else." Qi Ye took the coffee from Xiao Cheng, and listened to Xiao Cheng's guess: "Professional development?"

"Why can't I hide anything from you?" Qi Ye twitched his lips.

After venting so much in the morning, now that he was at Anshan's place, Qi Ye felt that he must not be able to cheer up.But this kind of thought disappeared without a trace as soon as Xiao Cheng drove into the camping area.

As far as the eye can see, there are lush greenery and a gurgling brook.

Everything opens up.

Qi Ye couldn't hold back, and when he was moving the tent, he quietly bent down and splashed water.

I haven't traveled for a long time, everything is fresh.

Seeing Qi Ye like this, Xiao Cheng just laughed. He took the bag that Qi Ye was carrying, rubbed his hair and said, "Let's go play for a while."

"The tent..."

"I'll take it, if I can't, I'll ask you for help."

As soon as Qi Ye heard it, he put away his playful thoughts, and said no, we will go out together after the ride is over.

It took some time for the two of them to set up the tent, but it was packed by noon.The camp here is divided into several areas, and Qi Ye and his team have the widest view in area A, which is next to a viewing platform in Anshan.

Qi Ye put the cast iron pot on the stand, leaned back on the folding chair, and let out a long breath.

"Tired?" Xiao Cheng came over, helped Qi Ye press his shoulders, and touched his earrings by the way, "Why don't you go to sleep and I'll call you after lunch."

Qi Ye raised his eyes and smiled, "No."

Xiao Cheng looked down at him.

"It's comfortable." Qi Ye took advantage of the situation and sat down a little bit, acting coquettishly, "Give me a rub again."

Everything is simple.

In the afternoon, the rain stopped and the sun shone through the thin clouds.

After lunch, the two stayed in the tent after packing up. Qi Ye was strumming the guitar, as if practicing some song, while Xiao Cheng was cutting fruit.

After putting the cut apples and green awns on the small table, Xiao Cheng asked, "What are you practicing?"

"Mozart's violin piece in D major." Qi Ye moved the stave back a bit, and let Xiao Cheng sit down, "Trick around and see if it can be adapted into a guitar piece."

"Why do you suddenly want to practice this?"

"It wasn't last time..." Qi Ye thought for a while, and put away those nasty emotions, "If you think it sounds good, just practice."

It's really nice, this is the first time he heard Xiao Cheng's performance in the theater.

How should I put it, the impression is not deep enough, most of the time I slept lightly, the scene on the stage that day became a dream that lingered for a long time, and I could always dream of it.

Xiao Cheng sat cross-legged on the side, listening to him play the guitar.

Not long after, he half leaned against the pillow, squinting his eyes to watch Qi Ye draw circles on the staff, and then, took the thin blanket that Qi Ye had thrown, and took a nap.

Lovers don't need to do anything extra.

The cool breeze in early summer and the faint chirping of cicadas in the distance can all become part of camping, without being fancy.

When it was almost sunset, Qi Ye put away the guitar, turned around and saw that Xiao Cheng had woken up, and looked at him with his head propped up.

"Finished?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"It's not close, but it's okay." Qi Ye handed over the fruit plate, set up the guitar and said, "Do you want to listen?"

In fact, I am not very proficient. After all, the work of arranging is quite complicated. Just the vocal range, as well as vibrato and changing the fingers, etc., you have to change it many times, and even have to change it drastically.

But Qi Ye played it anyway.

Xiao Cheng just listened, and tapped lightly to the rhythm.

Not a violinist or a college professor, just a plain and simple lover at this time.

The surrounding tents were quite far away. After dinner, Qi Ye sat outside the tent with his head propped up, watching Xiao Cheng come over with an oil lamp.

When he was sitting next to him, Qi Ye leaned to the side, getting closer.

He was wrapped in a blanket and gave Xiao Cheng another one. Xiao Cheng spread out the blanket, put his arms around Qi Ye's shoulders together, and looked at the stars through the thin clouds.

"Can you play the guitar today?" Qi Ye suddenly asked.

Xiao Cheng said without hesitation: "It sounds good."

"Can you comment objectively?" Qi Ye twisted his arm.

Xiao Cheng smiled: "It's already very objective."

Qi Ye also laughed, but the moment he turned his head to stare at him, there seemed to be some morning emotions in his eyes, which were fleeting.

Xiao Cheng seemed to know what Qi Ye was worried about, so he hugged his shoulders tightly and said in a low voice, "I will take care of it."

"It's not that I don't trust you." Qi Ye leaned on him and said, "It's just that I trust you too much, that's why I feel scared and worry."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng said slowly: "It's not that there is no room for communication at all."

Qi Ye was slightly taken aback.

"When An Shan comes back, I will go directly to my parents' house." Xiao Cheng said, "There is no one else, just me. If you still can't accept it..."

Qi Ye touched Xiao Cheng's lips with his fingertips, and interrupted, "I'll go with you."

"It's okay." Xiao Cheng said, "Don't meet my parents again."

This sentence was reassuring, but when Qi Ye heard it, his previous emotions seemed to rise a little bit, and even the corners of his eyes were a little red again.

He turned sideways and hugged Xiao Cheng, and said in his throat: "Why is it so difficult."

"It's not difficult." Xiao Cheng kissed his forehead.

Both were silent for a while.

At this moment, Xiao Cheng suddenly opened his mouth and called out "Brother Qi".

Qi Ye looked at him sideways: "Huh?"

At this time, the bone nails on the pinna were outlined by the starlight, forming a perfect scene with the stars behind Xiao Cheng, reflected in Qi Ye's eyes.

——Like the blue-white Rigel, firm and bright.

"The words you said to me in the rain this morning." Xiao Cheng's voice was deep yet gentle and powerful at this moment, he clenched Qi Ye's hand tightly, kissed the end of his eyes lightly and said, "Elopement or something, there is no would not exist, we should be here, always together."
