When Kang Zhier first returned to Gaite, he was still a little out of control.

Every night, when he was lying on the bed in the apartment, quietly thinking about the life of the holiday, he realized as if he had just woken up from a dream—he was half an ocean away from Elvis.

There was a twelve-hour time difference between him and Elvis.Every morning, when Elvis woke up, the sun started to set on his side.

At the beginning, he missed Elvis especially, and his concern for Elvis made him feel lonely in a foreign country for the first time.

Fortunately, Irene also returned to Gaite a week later, and her arrival somewhat saved Kang Zhier who was alone.

It didn't take long for the school to start, and new courses and academic information came one after another. Kang Zhier was busy with classes and seminars most of the time, and gradually entered the state of the new semester.

Gate is an ancient city, which is close to the central part and has a strong cultural atmosphere.The climate here is pleasant and the rhythm is gentle.The long summer and autumn are people's favorite seasons.

Kang Zhier's daily route to and from school is almost fixed.Coming out of the apartment building, 5 minutes later, he passed the municipal office building and a modern school respectively.Finally, he will stop in front of the post office 500 meters away, waiting for the bus that arrives on time.

That evening, Kang Zhier came out of the teaching building after finishing his meeting with the group members.When I walked out of the school gate, there happened to be a bus parked next to the platform.

Kang Zhier's eyes lit up, he quickened his pace immediately, and jumped into the car before the driver closed the door.

After the doors closed, the bus moved on, swaying in the falling twilight.

At the gate of the post office, Kang Zhier got out of the car and walked quietly in the scorching wind.

At this time, the sun was setting.Under the sweet, thick clouds, the buildings and plants beside the road looked impossibly benign.

Kang Zhier stopped, took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the evening sky, and sent it to Elvis.

Afterwards, he put away his cell phone and continued walking in the direction of the apartment in a leisurely manner.

Passing in front of the municipal building, Kang Zhier turned in at the next street corner, and turned into a secluded residential area from an open and bright intersection.

The buildings in this area have a strong early style, and almost every house has a garden.Kang Zhier's apartment is located in one of the ivy-covered residential buildings.

When he arrived, Kang Zhier walked into the corridor through the semi-dark garden, and walked up the stairs slowly stepping on the handrails.

While going up the stairs, Kang Zhier suddenly remembered what he had talked with Elvis on the phone before going to bed two days ago.Since he went to a classmate's birthday party the night before, he was a little sleepless that night.After talking on the phone with Elvis, he fell asleep on the pillow.

After waking up in the morning, he picked up his phone to charge it.After the phone was connected to the power source and turned on again, he received a voice message from Elvis.

Kang Zhier clicked on it, and the more he listened, the more he found it difficult to understand.Finally, he suddenly realized that it was the sound of his own breathing after falling asleep!

Kang Zhier went up to the third floor and walked towards the apartment through the clean stairwell.

When he reached the door of the apartment, he pressed his fingerprint to unlock the door.As soon as the door opened, Kang Zhier was stunned as if someone had cast a spell on him.

It took a while for his train of thought to rebuild.

"It should be," Kang Zhier looked at the brightly lit apartment and thought blankly, "I forgot to turn off the lights before going out."

Despite doubts, Kang Zhier slowly closed the door.

He put his backpack on the locker in the entrance and began to change his shoes.

Putting on his slippers, Kang Zhier picked up his backpack and walked inside.As soon as he walked to the foyer, he suddenly heard movement from inside the apartment.

After confirming that it was a slight back and forth pacing sound, Kang Zhi suddenly got goosebumps.

He remained relatively calm, held his breath and walked along the hall, picking up the baseball bat by the wall.

Kang Zhier's movements were extremely light, holding a baseball bat in his hand, hearing the footsteps in the living room becoming clearer and clearer, and the distance between himself and the people in the room getting closer, his heart skipped a beat.

At the critical moment, his rationality returned, and he remembered that with his small body, he could not confront the intruder head-on, and should outsmart him.

Just as he turned around and was about to run out along the hall, a tall figure suddenly appeared in his sight.

A moment ago, Kang Zhier felt that he was so nervous that he was about to have a heart attack.The next moment, he seemed to be a passenger returning to the entrance from the roller coaster track, and he survived safely.

In front of the living room, Elvis didn't speak, and stood there in silence.He glanced at Kang Zhier first, and then looked up at the baseball bat in his hand.Finally, his eyes silently moved back to Kang Zhier's face.

Kang Zhier watched his gaze filled with connotation, and silently put down the baseball bat in his hand.

"I thought it was a thief." He said a little embarrassedly.

"It's not a thief," Elvis answered him, shaking his head, "It's me."

After Elvis finished answering, the two looked at each other, neither of them said anything.

Suddenly there was a strange silence in the air.

Kang Zhier was a little uncertain about the current situation, he murmured in his heart, wondering if it was because he hadn't seen each other for two months, and Elvis' feelings for him had faded.

Thinking of this, his instinct to speak instantly became weaker.

Elvis stood in front of him, looked down at him for a while, then asked him suddenly, "Can I give you a hug?"

"what?"

Kang Zhier opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Elvis dully.

Elvis stared at him, and after a moment, slowed down his speech.

"long time no see."

He replied, his tone, eyes, gave the impression that he was complaining to Kang Zhier.

Kang Zhier listened to his answer, and after a while, he laughed slowly.

With a light face, he replied to Elvis: "Yes."

After he finished speaking, Elvis walked up to him quietly, took the baseball bat from his hand, and took him into his arms.

"How did you get in?" Kang Zhier asked Elvis curiously.

Elvis' arm gently pressed his back, hugged him and replied: "I entered the password to come in."

"Password," Kang Zhier leaned into his arms, feeling a little confused, "When did I tell you the password?"

Elvis pressed his palm against his clothes, rubbed his arm a little vigorously, and answered him calmly: "When you are sleepy, you can answer anything you ask."

"...All right." Kang Zhier was speechless.

Standing on tiptoes, he hugged Elvis completely, smelling the familiar breath on Elvis' shoulders, he couldn't help but make a humming sound in his throat.

"I miss you so much," he told Elvis.

Elvis was head-to-head with him at first, then put his cheek on his shoulder, and answered him slowly: "Well, I am the same."
