Late ripening

Chapter 43

The soup pot was simmering on the stove, and the doorbell rang outside.Except for the courier in the first few days and the gardener who came every day, no one came to disturb the small villa.Mrs. Yu walked over and looked at the cat's eyes, "Who is it?"

"Excuse me, is this Lin Jingyan's family?" A clear voice came from outside the door.Mrs. Yu hesitated to answer, and asked again, "Who are you?"

After a few seconds, another person appeared over there, "Auntie is me, Yao Yihang." Mrs. Yu recognized his voice and quickly opened the door. Yao Yihang and Song Bo stood at the door. "It's Xiao Yao, how did you find this place?"

She let the two people in and hurriedly found slippers for them.Yao Yihang's tone was a little embarrassed, "I couldn't get in touch with Jing Yan, so I called Uncle Lu..." He didn't say anything later, turned around and introduced the person he brought with Mrs. Yu, "This is our friend from school. , called Song Bo."

He deliberately didn't mention Teacher Song Bo's identity, for fear that Mrs. Yu would think it was the teacher's home visit. "Where's Jing Yan?" Mrs. Yu pointed upstairs, "In his room, I'll call him down."

"No, no, I'll just go up and look for him." Yao Yihang turned around and asked Song Bo to sit in the living room and wait for him.

He walked to the only closed door on the second floor and knocked lightly twice, "Jing Yan, I'm Yao Yihang, can I go in?"

After a while, the locked door rang, and Yao Yihang pushed it open.There was dampness in the room caused by the infrequent opening of the doors and windows, and the curtains were drawn tightly. There was a person whose limbs were covered lying on the bed.

The room was too dark, and there were messy things piled up on the chairs, Yao Yihang didn't know where to settle for a while, so he leaned against the window sill. "Are you feeling better? I went to the Academic Affairs Office to report for you. Fortunately, you have almost finished the courses in the previous semesters. There are only three compulsory courses in this semester..."

Before he could finish speaking, the motionless person on the bed reacted. "You close the curtains." Yao Yihang was stunned for a moment and looked back, the curtains were inadvertently opened by his movements, and a little light leaked onto the wall.

He didn't say anything, and closed the window tightly, and he didn't say anything about the school when he spoke again, "I heard that there is a movie theater that is broadcasting "Harry Potter", do you want to watch it again? There is an escape room board game shop in front of the school, I went there last time and it was really fun, let's go there too."

He racked his brains to think of some naive but sincere suggestions, "Song Bo was also dragged here by me today, let's go out to eat together tonight, and kill him hard."

Jing Yan changed from lying on his back to lying on his side hugging his knees, turning over to face the wall, meaning he didn't want to listen to him anymore.Yao Yihang walked from the window sill to the bed, knelt down and picked at his sheets with his fingers, "Or if there is something you want to do today, you can do whatever you want, and I will accompany you."

The two of them were in such a stalemate, Jing Yan became impatient with his friend.He felt that other people's breath was annoying to his ears, let alone hear what Yao Yihang was talking about.He closed all communication channels, trying to force him to leave with silence.

However, Yao Yihang is a more stupid person than him, he doesn't take Jing Yan's resistance seriously, and insists on pulling him out with his positive nature.

He simply sat down on the ground, "If you don't talk, I'll just sit here with you all the time, and stay at your house at night." He treats many things with a peculiar innocence and optimism, I feel that as long as I break his current situation and pull him out for a walk, there will be no troubles that I can't get over.

Yao Yihang sat there alone, tall and strong, and Jing Yan couldn't help it if he wanted to sleep.He has been in a drowsy sleep for many days, and nothing can arouse his interest again. Sometimes he goes back to the room to sit for a while after eating, and then lies down on the bed again.

Jing Yan sat up from the quilt little by little, it was already spring when the warm wind was blowing, but he was still covered with a winter quilt.He was leaning against the wall, sitting crookedly, his thin chin and deeply sunken collarbone brought out some sickness.He sat in the shadow, like a small pile of soulless flesh covered by ill-fitting loose clothes, Yao Yihang couldn't bear to look at him, lowered his head and pulled his trousers.

"Let's go out to eat tonight." After a while, Jing Yan said, his voice was very low, no longer the gentle and peaceful tone before, but slightly hoarse and sharp in his tone.

"Okay." Yao Yihang got up quickly, "You change your clothes, we will wait for you downstairs."

When he went downstairs, those two people were not sitting in the living room, Jing Yan followed the sound and walked into the yard. "Jing Yan, come and take a look." Yao Yihang stood under the flower stand and called him, "This flower in your house is blooming very well. Do you know what kind of flower it is, it smells so good."

Jing Yan stood by the first stone slab leading to the garden without moving. He remembered that this path paved with stone slabs was made by someone when his mother was around.When he left, it was covered with moss and weeds, but now the ground he stepped on was reinforced and renovated, and the lawn was neatly manicured.

There was a new set of white tables and chairs next to it, Jing Yan stared at it for a while and looked away.Without taking another step forward, he pulled off two leaves and squeezed them in his hands, then rubbed them vigorously into pieces and threw them on the ground.

Between the fingers exudes the smell of grass and tree juice, and the palm is also dyed a 01:30 green color.He resisted the desire to destroy more and smash all these flowers and plants.

He originally liked this small yard very much, and originally attached great importance to every plant.But the love he gave was not responded to, and the things he cherished were thrown away like garbage. He didn't feel that he still had the ability to appreciate other beautiful things.

This is probably Lu Qian's compensation, just like Yu Rang's sister-in-law living here.Taking care of, mending, patching himself together, maybe even monitoring himself, so that Lu Qian could send over something that he thought could "heal the wound" whenever there was a trouble.

Song Bo looked at the flowers and plants for a while, but was not very interested in them.He saw Jing Yan standing there all the time, pulling Yao Yihang who was still distinguishing plants over. "Are you hungry? It's still early. We can rest for a while before going out."

Jing Yan shook his head, he couldn't wait to leave here, "Let's go out now."

He nestled in the back seat of the car without saying a word, listening to Yao Yihang talking about things he didn't care about.This is the first time Jing Yan has gone out in a few weeks, he doesn't feel like re-acquainted with the world, he just wants to escape from home temporarily.

Yao Yihang asked Jing Yan twice what he wanted to eat, but got no response.He turned his head and found that Jing Yan leaned his head against the window and closed his eyes, he didn't seem to be asleep, but he probably didn't hear what he said.He thought of a restaurant that Jing Yan used to love, and asked Song Bo to open there.

Jing Yan didn't realize where he was until the two people next to him finished ordering.He did come here a few times with Yao Yihang, but not because he liked it.

It's probably too late to leave now. It's not time for dinner, and the kitchen is delivering food very quickly.Several dishes were served on the table one after another, and Yao Yihang enthusiastically put the steamed fish and celery lily in front of Jing Yan. "Eat more, last time you said that there was too much salt in the vegetables here, I deliberately made them light."

The person who felt salty was actually not himself, Jing Yan opened his chopsticks stiffly and took a few mouthfuls, but he couldn't taste the taste at all.He is not such a picky person at all, he was just attached to the taste established by others in the past.

But Yao Yihang remembers what he said so clearly, he has never been a person with such a good memory, he can only remember what he has said and done in front of him repeatedly.

Even if you want to forget, someone else will remind you of his existence unexpectedly.You don’t even need to make a sound to remind you. The glass of water in front of you, the places you’ve been to, and the whole city are proofs that you have owned him.

Jing Yan stood up staggeringly, and hurriedly walked from behind Yao Yihang to the bathroom. "What's wrong with him?" Yao Yihang was at a loss. Song Bo saw his unsteady back, and also stood up and chased him, "You eat first, I'll go and see him."

There was a rapid coughing sound from the toilet cubicle. Song Bo stood there for a second and knocked on the door, "Are you okay?" No one answered him, and the door was not locked.

He pushed the door open, Jing Yan knelt on the ground, stuck his fingers into his throat and pulled hard. "What are you doing?" Song Bo grabbed his arm and knelt down to support him.He turned his head to look at Jing Yan, Jing Yan's eyes were red, and there was still a little tear in the corner of his eyes, "Stomach is uncomfortable..."

"You can't induce vomiting if you feel uncomfortable." Song Bo accompanied him for a while, and helped him stand up as much as possible, "Let's go outside to have a rest, or go to the hospital if it doesn't work."

Yao Yihang was startled when he saw Jing Yan being brought out with his head down, "What's the matter, is he not feeling well?" "Take him to the hospital, he seems to have a stomachache."

Jing Yan lay on the table a little bit exhausted, but he interrupted after listening to their speech, "It's all right, I won't go to the hospital."

"How can I not go to the hospital, you look so uncomfortable..."

With a ding, Jing Yan threw a chopstick at his side and bumped it into the plate, "I said I won't go to the hospital." He still bowed his head, but the abnormal emotion in his tone made Yao Yihang dare not say anything.

Song Bo glanced at him and asked Yao Yihang, "Is there a pharmacy near here? Go buy some medicine first and see the situation later." Yao Yihang nodded, "I know where it is, tell me what I want to buy and I'll go, you are here stay with him."

He grabbed his phone and ran out. Song Bo sat down next to Jing Yan. Jing Yan endured the tumbling in his stomach to prevent himself from moaning. After a while, he heard the person next to him say coldly, "Are you Don't you think that the most important and only thing you have ever owned is just gone?"
