After Yu Duo hung up the phone, Jiang Chiyu stood by the window for a long time.

There is a three-day difference between the winter solstice and Christmas this year. For college students, Western festivals are obviously more fresh. A couple downstairs are exchanging gifts, and the campus is full of festive atmosphere.

The students from the club saw Jiang Chiyu and came over to ask him if he would like to attend the Christmas Eve party, but he politely refused.

Although Jiang Chiyu is "not straight" now, he still retains the characteristics of a straight man in some aspects, for example, he is always lacking in some things and seems puzzled.

After the classmates left, he wiped off the water vapor left on the glass and returned to his seat to continue studying.

Several important exams have ended, and now Jiang Chiyu is going all out to prepare for the selection of exchange students.When he first received this notice, he did hesitate about going abroad to study.After all, for a family like theirs, studying abroad is not something that can be easily afforded, and the production ratio needs to be considered.

Besides, the company has just improved in the past few years, and his departure at this time will have some impact.

And Yu Duo, during these years of living with Yu Duo, Jiang Chiyu has quietly changed from the inside out, the trauma and painful memories left by his native family have begun to become blurred, and he can't even imagine What are the days when Yu Duo is not around.

Today's Yu Duo is like a parent who hopes that his son will become a dragon and his daughter will become a phoenix, and he has high hopes for Jiang Chiyu.Jiang Chiyu thought that since it was something he wanted to do by himself, he would definitely try his best to achieve his expectations.

So during these days of Yu Duo's business trip, except for the time at the company, Jiang Chiyu spent almost all of his time in the library, preparing for the next exam.

On the day of the winter solstice, Jiang Chiyu took the time to go back to the company, and happened to meet Sister Sun who brought glutinous rice balls wrapped by herself from home for everyone to eat.Jiang Chiyu rushed to attend the question-and-answer meeting, ate a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, packed up the rest and went to school.

That night, he stayed in the library again until closing time before coming out.On the way home, Jiang Chiyu called Yu Duo.

Same as in the afternoon, the busy tone on the handset kept ringing until it automatically hung up. Today, Yu Duo's cell phone has been turned off, presumably because he forgot to charge it again.

After returning home, Jiang Chiyu simply took a shower and lay down on the bed.I couldn't get in touch with Yu Duo today, Jiang Chiyu didn't sleep well this time, he was half asleep and half awake throughout the night, and had many messy dreams.

Finally, he woke up from a depressive dream, and his chest was overwhelmed by all kinds of negative emotions. At this moment, he suddenly found that there was a light on in the crack of the door.

The depression caused by the nightmare was swept away, and Jiang Chiyu's heart skipped a beat, as if he had fallen into a puddle of warm water, and suddenly jumped up.

He got out of bed, opened the door and walked out of the room.

A small yellow light was on on the range hood, and Yu Duo was leaning against the stove, holding a box of instant noodles in his hand, staring at the whirring kettle.

With a "click", the hot water boiled, and at the same time, familiar footsteps sounded behind him.

Yu Duo turned around and saw Jiang Chiyu who was only wearing a single shirt.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Yu Duo glanced at the clock on the wall and asked in surprise.

Jiang Chiyu didn't expect that it was Yu Duo who really came back, and he was still in a dazed state, so he replied, "I've slept already."

As he said that, he stepped forward, leaned on Yu Duo's back as if he had no bones, buried his face on his shoulder, and said, "I was dreaming of you just now, and when I opened my eyes, I found that you were back. good."

"You are such a big man, don't act like a baby." Yu Duo returned his gaze to the kettle, moved his shoulders, and said, "Get up, I'm going to take a bath."

Jiang Chiyu's tenderness turned into longing, meeting Yu Duo with such a hard heart, is tantamount to giving the blind man a glance.

"Don't." Jiang Chiyu has a lot of ways to deal with Yu Duo. Instead of retreating, he stretches out his arms to wrap Yu Duo in his arms, forming a posture of embracing his back, and said in a deeper voice: "I'm so tired, let me Let me rely on it for a while, I only sleep for four hours a day recently, and I feel dizzy when I open my eyes..."

Jiang Chiyu's trick really worked for Yu Duo. Hearing what he said, Yu Duo didn't refuse any more, and let him hold him quietly.

"Why did you come back so soon?" After Yu Duo relaxed all over, Jiang Chiyu asked him, "Didn't you say that there will be a few more days of delay?"

"I'm done with my work." The warm breath fell on Yu Duo's neck. He didn't dare to act rashly, but he could clearly feel that a small piece of goose bumps stood up unconsciously on the skin swept by the breath.

"If you stay for one more day, you will drink for another day. Hurry up and come back first." Yu Duo said.

Jiang Chiyu let out a muffled laugh, as if mocking him for his stubbornness. He was still talking on the phone yesterday, saying that the project party over there was very difficult to deal with, and he would not be back for a while.

But he didn't intend to push Yu Duo too hard, this man was like a vigilant snail, he managed to stretch out a small tentacles, and if he didn't pay attention, he would retract into his shell again.

So Jiang Chiyu let go of the person in his arms, patted his arm, and said to him: "Go take a bath first, don't eat instant noodles, I'll cook you a supper."

When Yu Duo came out of the shower, Jiang Chiyu had already cooked a small bowl of glutinous rice balls.He came to the dining table and sat down, bowed his head and tasted a small glutinous rice ball, his whole body was dusty, and he was driven away by the feeling of home.

These glutinous rice balls are the ones that Sister Sun made today, and Jiang Chiyu specially brought them back and frozen them in the refrigerator, saving them for Yu Duo to eat when he comes back.

Jiang Chiyu was wearing a sweater and sat on the ground with bent legs, planning to sort out the laundry in the suitcase for Yu Duo first.

As soon as he opened the suitcase, he saw a squashed blue and white box. Jiang Chiyu took the box out and looked at it, and asked, "What is this?"

Yu Duo glanced up and said, "It was sent on the plane."

"I know." Jiang Chiyu opened the paper box with the airline's logo on it, and saw a wilted banana and a few pastries wrapped in plastic inside, and asked, "What do you bring these back for?"

Yu Duo didn't even raise his head this time, he stuffed a small glutinous rice ball into his mouth, and said vaguely, "I forgot to throw it away, so I brought it back."

Yu Duo once heard Jiang Chiyu mention that when he was young, one summer vacation, a benefactor invited Jiang Xiaoqing to accompany him in Hainan.It was Jiang Xiaoqing's first time on a plane, and when he came back, he brought back a lunch box for Jiang Chiyu from the plane.

The young Jiang Chiyu had never received a gift from his mother, let alone saw anything on the plane. Naturally, he was very precious, even the plastic knives and forks inside were washed clean and carefully preserved.

The first time I heard Jiang Chiyu talk about this matter, Yu Duo even laughed at him mercilessly.But ridicule is ridicule, and after laughing, Yu Duo still kept it in his heart.

On the plane at night, he mysteriously put away the lunch box.The journey home was like an arrow, and he didn't realize until he was about to get home that Jiang Chiyu was already an adult, and he would no longer be happy because of these little things.

Jiang Chiyu obviously thought of this too, he didn't expose Yu Duo, and said with a smile: "It's just right, then it's mine, I like the biscuits on the plane the most."

Jiang Chiyu's nonsense was not clever, he didn't like sweets, let alone biscuits.

After sorting out the clothes, Jiang Chiyu saw a neatly packed dust bag at the bottom of the box. In order to create a festive atmosphere, a big bow was tied at the mouth of the bag.

"What is this?" Jiang Chiyu picked up the dust bag, revealing the logo printed on the bag.Jiang Chiyu had seen this brand in the most high-end shopping mall in H City before. The sixteen cursive letters on the signboard were neatly arranged, making it hard for people to know how to pronounce it.

"I bought a piece of clothing a few days ago." Yu Duo took a sip of the soup and said very naturally: "When I got back to the hotel, I found that it was a bit too big. You can try it."

"Bought it for me?" Jiang Chiyu's eyes widened, looking at Yu Duo with surprise and joy.

Yu Duo's words are obviously untenable, he is about the same size as Jiang Chiyu, and he is not a particular person, so the two of them often wear clothes mixed together.It is impossible for Yu Duo to wear too big clothes for Jiang Chiyu.

Yu Duo didn't care about this, he put down his chopsticks, pressed the veins on his forehead, and emphasized again: "It's said that I bought too much."

There was a dark suit in the dust bag. In order to try this suit, Jiang Chiyu went back to his room and changed out of his pajamas.When Jiang Chiyu put this suit on, Yu Duo was in no mood to tell him who the suit was for.

Jiang Chiyu is tall, well-proportioned, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, just like a clothes hanger.After wearing this suit, it looks like a supermodel stepping off an advertising pictorial.

As the saying goes, clothes make a man, this saying is not false at all.

"Does it look good?" Jiang Chiyu stood in front of the mirror and asked Yu Duo who was behind him who was looking dull.

"It's beautiful." Yu Duo came back to his senses, went around to him, buttoned a few buttons on his cuffs, raised his hand to straighten his collar, looked at him and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful."

"Can this clothes fly?" Jiang Chiyu saw the label when changing clothes just now.He knew that this brand of clothes was expensive, but he didn't expect that rich people would spend such an outrageous amount of money. The sum of this coat and trousers cost five figures less.

"Nonsense." Yu Duo went into the room and found a tie, and hung it around Jiang Chiyu's neck: "In the future, when you go abroad, you will inevitably have to attend formal occasions. Let me tell you, foreigners pay attention to these superficial things the most. Do you still need a dress that can stand on the table?"

Yu Duo's understanding of the international community comes from Reader's Digest, but he speaks clearly and logically, as if he has dealt with foreigners in person.

If it were to buy clothes for himself, even if he could live forever and make a lot of money by wearing this set of clothes, it would be impossible for Yu Duo to spend a penny for it.But yesterday he passed by the mall on his way back to the hotel, and he saw the suit displayed in the window at a glance.

At that time, he decided that Jiang Chiyu should have such clothes.

Yu Duo didn't know these big international brands, and he didn't expect that a few pieces of cloth could be sold so expensively. When he knew the price, his value was a bit subverted.But when he thought that he bought it for Jiang Chiyu, he readily swipe his card to pay.

Jiang Chiyu didn't answer when he heard the words, and lowered his dark eyes, quietly watching Yu Duo tie his tie.

Yu Duo is a rough man, he doesn't know how to tie a tie very much, he found that he made a mistake in the steps halfway through the toss, and he took it apart halfway and tried it all over again.Under Jiang Chiyu's guidance, while stumbling and tying the knot, he said: "What a nice young man, he looks handsome, studies well, can make money, and has a bright future."

Unfortunately--

Like thousands of parents, Yu Duo has unrealistic expectations for his children. In his opinion, Jiang Chiyu is worthy of all the best people and things in the world.

Jiang Chiyu followed his words and said: "It's a pity that you hanged on this heartless crooked neck tree of yours."

"It's quite proud, I don't know it even if I'm blind." Yu Duo became angry when he heard this, he grabbed the tie around Jiang Chiyu's neck, and pulled him staggeringly.

Yu Duo's tugging almost made Jiang Chiyu jump on him.He quickly took a step back, looked up at Jiang Chiyu, and said seriously: "After you go out, you will know that there are many excellent people in this world. They have gone to college like you, and they can understand English. I have to understand the books you read, and have more common language with you, not like me..."

"It's not like you, who don't understand style, and only care about making money." Jiang Chiyu stretched out his hand to support the mirror, maintaining his balance.

"Yes." Yu Duo didn't expect Jiang Chiyu to learn to answer quickly, and he choked on him, and continued after a while: "It's not too late to return when you are lost."

"But I just like you." Jiang Chiyu will not be so easily entangled by Yu Duo, he does not care whether Yu Duo is willing to listen, he repeats solemnly: "But Yu Duo, I just like you."

Jiang Chiyu's expression was too serious, Yu Duo's fingers curled up unconsciously, and soon returned to normal.

"It's almost ready, I've wanted to talk about you for a long time, isn't it funny?" He yawned exaggeratedly, and said to Jiang Chiyu: "This dress looks good on you, I'll give it to you, go to bed quickly .”

After finishing speaking, Yu Duo passed Jiang Chiyu and went back to the room first.
