Juliet Tower

The school celebration was on Friday, and Qiao Yumian's performance had already ended after get off work, so he couldn't see An Jiayu's cooperation with his juniors.

Although I have heard the practice many times at home, the violinist standing on the stage has not seen it for a long time, and I cannot help but feel regretful.

He and An Jiayu made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the dormitory building, and they wanted to go and see the dormitory manager, Mr. Liu.

Qiao Yumian arrived first, not wanting the dorm manager's room to be very lively, and the two fluffy little guys jumped up and down to greet them without acknowledging their birth.I haven't seen you for a while, but there are actually two more dogs.

"Little Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time." Teacher Liu looked happy and tired.

The company is discussing cooperation with the Japanese Rose Breeding Company. Qiao Yumian brought her a "Gabriel" as a gift. It is not common to see white flowers wrapped in purple-gray.

"Hey, it blooms really well. The Zhenzhou you sent last time is also straight and straight, without bowing its head at all. The professional ones are different." Teacher Liu took the flower pot and put it on the ground: "An Jiayu came back today Do you know, I haven't seen him for several years in the blink of an eye, there is no big change, but he looks more stable."

"Yeah. He'll come over when he's done working." Qiao Yumian's feet were hugged by two milky-white puppies, unable to move an inch.He was wearing canvas shoes today, and his sharp little canines bit the Oxford cloth a bit painfully.

"You got in touch?" Teacher Liu smiled, much more kindly than when they were at school.

"Well. When he returned to China at the beginning of this year, I happened to meet him." He squatted on the ground and smelled a strong smell of milk dogs from the curly hair. It was obvious that they were not small. It seemed that these two dogs were at least medium-sized.He held the napes of the two puppies left and right, and freed his shoes.

"Just get in touch. Are you reconciled?"

"...Huh?" Qiao Yumian was taken aback. In the past two years, he had indeed come to see her from time to time, but he had never mentioned to the other party the past of his separation and reunion with An Jiayu, "Reconcile?"

"Didn't you quarrel... I remember it was the winter when you just graduated. That kid came to me and asked if I had your contact information. I told him no, and left in a daze." Teacher Liu squinted, "I At that time, I guessed that the two of you were having an awkward relationship, and when you got angry, you deleted the contact information, and I thought it was a pity. How nice you were at that time... But to be able to meet again after such a long time shows that you are destined."

She smiled with relief.

"No, I didn't delete it out of trouble. When I was taking the subway, my mobile phone was stolen..."

At that time, he was so busy with the school and Li Huijun, he didn't even realize that An Jiayu would not find him, or subconsciously, he hoped that no one would see him like that, anyway, the lost mobile phone was used to deal with Li Huijun from time to time The spot checks are always completely deleted, and there is no pity.

"Hey, he's here." Teacher Liu pointed behind him.

With a suit jacket draped over her elbows, when An Jiayu was wearing a pure white shirt and carrying a piano case on her back as she ran through the shade of the campus, it was like a gust of clean and refreshing wind.

"Teacher Liu!" Feng stopped in front of them, panting and turned to ask him, "Have you been waiting for a long time? The leader won't let anyone go."

"No, I just arrived. Put on your clothes first." Qiao Yumian put her hands behind her back.

"It's not cold." An Jiayu said so, but she obediently put on her suit jacket.

"No." Qiao Yumian violently held out the puppy hidden behind his back.

"!! Where did it come from!!" Sure enough, An Jiayu opened his mouth wide, surprised and delighted, immediately attracted his attention, and moved closer to touch it.

Qiao Yumian avoided his hand: "Be careful, it bites."

"Come on, you two, come in and sit down." Teacher Liu smiled so that the corners of his eyes creased. Where can I finish eating, it’s just right, you help me eliminate some.”

"Okay." An Jiayu carefully took a puppy from Qiao Yumian, sat on the stool by the wall, and teased the little guy on his lap.

Qiao Yumian urged him to wash his hands, but he was reluctant: "I'll play again. It's rare that it likes me so much."

Teacher Liu shook his head: "If you like it... just take it away. This is left by a sophomore in high school. He immigrated abroad with his family last month. These two little things are cubs born to his bitch. He is too small to be allowed on the plane, so he stays with me and asks me to find a new owner for him. If you don’t take it away, I won’t be able to keep it. How can we keep a dog in school, like the little mouse you raised back then? It’s fine if you don’t know how to bark or make trouble. I remember it’s called Joe, right?”

She sliced ​​open a plump grapefruit and served it to the table.

……

Hearing Joe's name, An Jiayu froze and stopped smiling.

Qiao Yumian glanced at him, peeled off the soft outer skin of the honey pomelo, broke off a piece of light red flesh, tore off the white film and handed it over: "Open your mouth."

The other party blinked when he heard the words, took away the translucent pomelo in one gulp, and silently flicked the chain on his wrist, and restored his faint smile: "Well, it's quite sweet, you can eat it yourself."

"Yeah." Qiao Yumian lowered her head and stuffed another white piece into her mouth.

"Joe died." An Jiayu swallowed the grapefruit and said to Teacher Liu, "When I stayed in the United States with me, he didn't close it properly, and was scared to death by the dog."

"Ah...ah?" Xu Shi's feeding action surpassed the intimacy of ordinary friends, a trace of confusion floated in the teacher's eyes, and then disappeared.

Qiao Yumian patted the back of An Jiayu's hand, then asked, "Have they had injections?

"Oh, that, shot, two injections. He left me a form with a date, and asked me to take it to the pet hospital, saying that they understand what to do." Teacher Liu hurriedly got up and went to the cabinet. rummage through.

Qiao Yumian took over the files of the two puppies.

One male and one female, standard poodle, 9 weeks old, named quite casually, maybe because they were born in summer, one named Summer, one named Xiaoqi.

He tried to call them by their names, but the dogs just rubbed An Jiayu's legs under the table without any obvious reaction.

"I have to teach them slowly. The students came to play with them, and each of them gave them a new name, which made the two of them confused, and didn't know what their name was. If you take them back, there is still time to rename them."

I don't know if it's Xiaoqi or Summer, but I've been sticking to An Jiayu ever since I saw him.

This breed is smart and friendly, and after playing for so long, An Jiayu's trousers are still clean, free of dander and hair, making him a very lovable companion pet.

Qiao Yumian knew that the trauma left by Joe in his heart hadn't completely healed, so she tried to ask him, "Do you like it?"

"I like it." An Jiayu picked up the dog at his feet, flicked its moist black nose, suddenly realized the deep meaning of Qiao Yumian's question, and turned to look at him, "But... it seems that keeping a dog is more important. Trouble, work harder...I'm afraid..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Let's raise them together." Qiao Yumian tapped the dog's head, "Although it's troublesome, they are stronger and can live longer."

"You two." Teacher Liu couldn't help but say something more when he sent them to the door, "Be good... It's not easy to be together..."

"Yes." Qiao Yumian was taken aback, then nodded at her, "Yes."

As the dusk faded, each of them held a puppy in their hands.

Qiao Yumian asked him where the car was parked, and An Jiayu pointed to the downhill ramp.

"...how did you stop so far..."

"I want to take a walk." An Jiayu pushed his back and walked forward, "I haven't been here for a long time, everything is different."

The neighborhood is much more crowded than when I was in school. People come and go at the subway entrance, real estate is delivered, and new stores are opened.

There have been countless times when they walked this quiet road together, An Jiayu would send him to the bus, he turned his head, and sometimes saw the man standing under the stop sign for a long time through the rear glass, watching the bus Leaving, I would occasionally see a long shadow behind that person.

"How was the show?"

"It's pretty good. I feel that the average level is better than ours at that time." An Jiayu looked very satisfied. "Maybe it's because the bonus points for the examination are canceled now. Those who can still practice are those I like." He paused , turned around and asked, "Have you forgotten all about your flute these years..."

"Well, I don't have a chance to touch it." Qiao Yumian nodded.

Thinking of the flute, the first thing he thought of was no longer the summer when he was locked up alone at home, nor was it Li Huijun's harsh words.

It's those fleeting moments of practicing with An Jiayu and going on stage together.

Is this Ai Wu Ji Wu?Or, did he really like the flute, but he just couldn't realize it under the pressure of the outside world?

"Is the flute still there?"

He shook his head: "My mother and I moved twice. After the house was sold, we disposed of everything that could be thrown away and sold."

A road leading to the station, they dawdled and stopped, and it took more than half an hour to arrive.He no longer has to worry about someone urging him, the journey seems as long as the rest of his life.

"What's your dog's name?" An Jiayu asked.

"Summer and Xiaoqi are not good?" Qiao Yumian is not very good at naming, the company's flower base in China is actually breeding new varieties, and it is a headache every time it comes to naming.

"Not good. If you go out for a walk with the dog, calling Xiao Qi will probably call a group of dogs." An Jiayu pondered for a long time, "What about my brother's name being Amber and my sister's name being Joyce?"

"Isn't Amber also a girl's name..."

"Anyway, it doesn't understand. It's fine if it sounds nice..."
