apartment for rent

Except for this one student, there was no other business all afternoon.The boss and his wife finally came back around seven o'clock. They caught a lot of fish today and invited two young people to stay and have dinner together.

The two lived not far away, in a nearby community, which seemed to be a state-owned community in Yang Yi's memory.

On the way, You Xuan told Yang Yi that this was the employee community of the former Grain Bureau. When the system was restructured, both the old Han and his wife were laid off, so they simply used their savings to set up a restaurant in front of it. It is not a big problem to choose a good location to support the two old people.

The house is an ordinary two-bedroom, one-living room with a balcony and a kitchen. The inside looks newly renovated. You Xuan took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook and let the old man rest.

Yang Yi didn't know how to deal with fish and couldn't help, but he still followed You Xuan and waited for help. Han Yiping dragged him over, "Let Xiao Xuan do it, he is a professional."

You Xuan also said, "I'll do it myself."

So Yang Yi withdrew from the kitchen.

The proprietress Lin Xiaoyan was very enthusiastic towards Yang Yi, and opened the door of a room for Yang Yi to visit: "Xiaoxuan lived here when she was in high school."

Yang Yicheng entered the room in fear.

The room is small but well-equipped with all internal organs, including a bed, a wardrobe, a writing desk, and a bookshelf. It is completely standard for a middle school student's room.

The couple had no children, and this room had been lived in by You Xuan for a long time. The furnishings inside had basically not changed and there were still many traces of You Xuan. There were even high school textbooks neatly arranged on the bookshelves.

"Can I take a look?" Yang Yi asked, pointing to the bookshelf.

"Okay, you can flip through it as you like." Lin Xiaoyan said with a smile.

Yang Yi took out a high school Chinese textbook, turned a few pages and saw You Xuan's notes, which were not too serious, and the knowledge points were incomplete, as if You Xuan had scribbled it down, but the words were true nice.

Casually flipping through Yang Yi, he carefully stuffed the Chinese textbook back into its original place. He was about to take a look at the math textbook, when he suddenly found a white notebook at the very edge, which looked very familiar.

Yang Yi's hand paused, and he reached for the notebook.

The notebook is an ordinary soft-shell notebook, the cover is not fancy at all, and the contents inside are all mathematical examples, with detailed solutions written for each question, but the words are so ugly that it is difficult to recognize the symbols.

This is Yang Yi's word.

Yang Yi's grades are not good, but he has always been very serious in class, and he has taken good notes.

After his mother committed suicide, Yang Yi made an appointment with You Xuan to go to a university in other provinces together, and left here completely. In order to supervise You Xuan's school, Yang Yi copied all the notes he thought were valuable to You Xuan.

Lin Xiaoyan said: "Xiaoxuan is about to drop out of high school at the end of her second year of high school. We can't persuade him no matter what. It's a pity that this child has been studying seriously for a while."

After starting the topic, Lin Xiaoyan couldn't stop, her tone was full of regret, "My peers are all in school, Xiaoxuan has been working as an apprentice since he was young, and there is a scar on his forehead that was beaten by the chef... I feel so distressed I can't stop him, and I'm still sad."

Yang Yi's hand holding the notebook tightened, his fingertips turned white from too much force, "Auntie, why did You Xuan drop out of school at that time?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Yang Yi for a while before saying: "I don't know very well, it's better to ask Xiaoxuan directly."

Yang Yi pursed his lips.

Lin Xiaoyan didn't continue this topic, she sat down beside the bed and said: "Xiaoxuan is a good boy, we have no children and little money, but Xiaoxuan still said that he would give us pensions until the end of his life, and he will come here all these years Stay with us, the house was also renovated with his money..."

The dinner was served quickly. The main course was fish with pickled cabbage. You Xuan also copied a few side dishes, which made it quite hearty.

When the four of them came to the table, Han Yiping also opened a bottle of white wine. You Xuan took it and poured two glasses and handed Han Yiping one to keep for himself.

Han Yiping glanced at Yang Yi: "Xiao Yi also have a drink together?"

The title Xiao Yi is rarely used by anyone. In the past, Yang Yi's parents called him son when they were in a good mood, and Yang Yi when they were in a bad mood. Yang Yi was really taken aback when he heard Han Yiping say it without any hesitation.

Before Yang Yi could speak, You Xuan said for him: "It's fine for him to drink liquor, we will go back later."

"Why go back! Stay at home tonight, you don't have to go to work anyway." Han Yiping said in a loud voice, and didn't continue to force Yang Yi. .

You Xuan poured wine for him.

Lin Xiaoyan called Yang Yi to eat quickly: "The fish cooked by Xiaoxuan is the best, and there is no fishy smell."

Yang Yi nodded and took the chopsticks to start eating.

This fish is really delicious, hot, sour and smooth, obviously without heavy ingredients and without any fishy smell.

Yang Yi usually doesn't like to eat fish because he thinks it's fishy, ​​but today he can't help but eat a lot. It seems that the fish he ate in the past has not been handled well, not that the fish is not tasty.

During the meeting, Lin Xiaoyan asked about Yang Yi's situation from time to time, and almost asked about Yang Yi's work and family in one meal.

I heard that Yang Yi patted Yang Yi on the back pityingly after his parents passed away when he was in high school.

In the past, some elders would say a lot of innocuous words when they saw Yang Yi. They said, "It's all over. If you need anything in the future, just come to them..." and "Life and death are fate, Yang Yi, you have to live well."

I have heard these words too much, but none of them have ever helped Yang Yi in the slightest, and they can only fade away with the passage of time.

These people looked worried when they saw Yang Yi, but when they turned around, they were able to use Yang Yi's misfortune as a source of gossip.

Lin Xiaoyan didn't say any meaningless and routine words of comfort, she just patted Yang Yi lightly a few times.

...is really a very warm elder.

After dinner, Yang Yi took the initiative to wash the dishes, and You Xuan also went into the kitchen to help him.

Yang Yi hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself."

You Xuan put down the dishes that were brought in, "Anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm free, let's wash up together."

The two of them worked together, and Yang Yi found the dishwashing liquid and found that it was a very expensive brand.

The two old people looked quite simple, and they didn't look like they would buy this kind of dish soap, "Did you buy it?"

You Xuan looked over and let out a "hmm".

Continue to wash the dishes, there are not too many dishes and two people finish it quickly.

You Xuan led Yang Yi to say goodbye to Han Yiping and his wife. Han Yiping was very determined to ask them to stay overnight, and Lin Xiaoyan was also helping to persuade them.

You Xuan glanced at Yang Yi and asked for his opinion.

Yang Yi thought that the two old men probably wanted You Xuan to stay with them, and there was no need for him to go back tomorrow and Sunday, so he nodded.

The two stayed, and You Xuan found a set of pajamas in the closet for Yang Yi, "My pajamas in high school, try not to small."

Yang Yi took off his own clothes and began to try on pajamas. You Xuan was already tall in high school, so this pajamas would not feel too small for Yang Yi to wear now.

"No problem." Yang Yi said something, and looked up to find that You Xuan's eyes were not right.

Yang Yi: "?"

You Xuan approached Yang Yi.

The pajamas are shirt-style pajamas with buttons, Yang Yi thought it was troublesome, so he just put them on without buttoning them, and You Xuan quickly pinched his waist.It's just that Yang Yi didn't feel any pain at all, and You Xuan's hand left quickly, but there was an itchy feeling on his waist.

Yang Yi: "..."

You Xuan withdrew his hand and patted Yang Yi's head, "Go take a bath."

Not knowing what to say, Yang Yi obediently went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The bathroom is surprisingly large, and it can be seen that all the equipment has been newly replaced, including the water heater, which is not at all the standard of the old-fashioned employee community.

In addition, things like body wash, shampoo, and body lotion are all available and expensive.

Needless to say, it must have been written by You Xuan.

You Xuan is sometimes very delicate. He not only comes to look at it in his spare time, he can even consider these small living rooms for the two old people.

Anyone will melt in this Youxuan-style tenderness.

After taking a shower, Yang Yi opened the window to ventilate, found a towel and began to clean up the water stains on the bathroom wall.In the middle of wiping, someone knocked on the door suddenly, and then You Xuan's voice came: "Washed?"

Yang Yi went to open the door, still holding a towel in his hand: "I've finished washing, just wipe off the water..."

The other three people had already washed up, and Yang Yi was the last one to use the bathroom, so he felt that he had to deal with the water stains. He originally planned to mop the floor after wiping.

You Xuan looked at the towel in Yang Yi's hand, and smiled: "There's no reason to ask guests to do these things."

"It's not troublesome." Yang Yi responded casually.

"Now you look like a good daughter-in-law who meets her parents for the first time." You Xuan joked.

Yang Yi: "...if you dare to bring a male daughter-in-law home, your parents will probably kick me out first."

"No, no one can control me."

You Xuan's bed was not too big, just an ordinary single bed, but at least it was wider than the tent on the top of the mountain, so the two of them wouldn't have to lie close together.

The refreshing smell of You Xuan surrounded Yang Yi, reminding him of the scene in his dream for a moment. Yang Yi moved his body unnaturally and wanted to back away a little, but You Xuan grabbed him by the waist.

"Be careful of falling." You Xuan reminded.

Yang Yi slept on the outside, so it was really easy to roll over and fall directly.

"En." Yang Yi followed You Xuan's hand and moved inward.

After a while, You Xuan asked him: "Can't sleep? You seem to be a little sleepy."

"It's a little..." Yang Yi replied.

In fact, it’s not a problem at all to recognize the bed. The real reason why it’s difficult to fall asleep is that the distance with You Xuan is too close, and the distance can be touched by turning over. What if you fall asleep and lose consciousness and roll over and hit You Xuan.

Yang Yi felt that he could basically keep his eyes open until dawn.

"How about talking to me if you can't sleep?" You Xuan moved closer to Yang Yi.

In the darkness, only a rough outline can be seen, but You Xuan's breathing is very clear nearby.

"say what?"

"I remember you fell off the bed once in high school?" You Xuan asked.

Yang Yi never expected that You Xuan would bring this up.

Yang Yi lived on campus when he was in high school. In a four-person dormitory, there are bed and table, and there are railings on the edge of the bed, but Yang Yi didn't know what happened. One night, he even threw the quilt off the bed, but it was okay. It's just a sprained hand, no big deal.

Yang Yi took a half-day off and went to the hospital to have a look. The doctor said that if there was no serious problem, he would be able to recover in a few days after applying some medicine. After receiving the medicine, he went back to school and continued to teach. The head teacher who was so old was so moved that he almost gave Yang Yi the award. a spirit award.

"You still remember." Yang Yi smiled softly.

"I can't forget. During that time, I had to study every word of yours for a long time." You Xuan also laughed.

What Yang Yi sprained was that he couldn't write with his right hand, so he could only use his left hand to hold the pen. Although he tried hard to write every word clearly, it turned out to be useless.

"You still said I was stupid at that time." Yang Yi recalled, when he pitifully wrote with his left hand and told You Xuan about it, You Xuan replied that he was stupid, which caused Yang Yi tons of trouble. Blow... Although the average person really wouldn't roll off the bed.

"It's really stupid." You Xuan touched the side of Yang Yi's face with his hand, and gently supported the ends of his hair, "You are so stupid and no one is watching, you...should have had a good time these few years not easy."

Yang Yi feels that he just lives day after day, and rarely has the time to think about whether his life is bitter or sweet, but others always say that Yang Yi has a hard life, and Yang Yi accepts it when he talks too much. evaluate.

The difficulty in their mouths was just an empty exclamation, and Yang Yi was so numb that it was difficult for him to put himself into this sad persona.

Now I suddenly realize that I have really come here all these years by myself, and it turned out that it was not easy to refer to this.

When he was homeless, when he had no money, when he was sick, when he was faced with important choices in life... All these were carried by Yang Yi alone, since he was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.

You Xuan walked with him for a while, and finally disappeared without a sound. Sometimes Yang Yi would doubt whether the note in this box was written by himself.

But these things are the only warmth in Yang Yi's life, so he guards these notes and memories and waits in place, watching himself being gradually dried from the inside out.

"There was no particularly difficult time." Yang Yi said, "It passed without knowing it."

"Do you blame me for coming back to you after so long." You Xuan asked him.

Yang Yi shook his head lightly, then remembered that You Xuan might not be able to see, so he leaned over and kissed You Xuan on the forehead.

Usually you can't see it, but you can feel that there is indeed a small scar on You Xuan's forehead when you touch it carefully.

It will never be easier for You Xuan to drop out of school and become an apprentice.

As for the reason why You Xuan dropped out of school... You Xuan didn't ask Yang Yi without talking about it. Anyway, the future is long, so there is no need to dismantle the past in detail.

You Xuan felt the position where Yang Yi kissed him, and hugged Yang Yi even tighter.
