Late ripening

Chapter 48

The electric fan on the ceiling kept turning, and the thin quilt that was covering her body was also kicked to her feet.Some bed-choosing biological clocks made Jing Yan wake up before seven o'clock, and when he turned over, the bed board made a creaking sound.

It was the second day after he was assigned to this slightly old dormitory. He thought he could live with a few classmates of the same major, but who knew that the school would arrange them in various spare dormitories.It was the first time for Jing Yan to live with someone he didn't know at all, and he hadn't mastered the method of blending into the surrounding environment.

He climbed out of bed as quietly as possible, but the people on the lower bunk seemed to be woken up. "Can you move lightly?" the boy muttered, turning his back to face the wall and continuing to sleep.Jing Yan muttered sorry, but no one paid any attention to him.

The washroom is outside and shared in the corridor.Jing Yan put the towel and toothbrush set in the basin, and these were newly bought on his first day here.

The phone on the table was on, and the first day he came here, the phone broke down inexplicably, and it was repaired with great difficulty yesterday, but he kept forgetting to charge it.Maybe it's because he has an evasive mentality, and he rarely looks at his phone these days.

But no matter how hard it is to hide it, it's probably impossible to hide it anymore. Sister-in-law Yu should call him at night to ask him if he will be back this weekend, and how to tell his aunt.Jing Yan didn't have a clue at all, he ran here in a hurry even before the start date, he had the determination to move forward bravely, but he didn't have the idea of ​​calmly dealing with the aftermath.

When he walked back from the bathroom, he realized that he came out in a daze without a key.It's almost summer vacation, and there are almost no people in the dormitory area except the students who are taking exams, Jing Yan doesn't dare to knock on the door and wake up that roommate.He squatted at the door for a while, feeling a little tired, so he simply sat down on the ground.

Looking through the phone, there is no missed call or text message.Jing Yan heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall. He turned on and off the address book back and forth, but he mustered up the courage to stand up and make a call.

He was picked up after only half a ring, "Auntie..." He hadn't finished speaking. "Where did you go, Jing Yan! Do you know that I'm dying of anxiety!" Mrs. Yu didn't seem to leave the phone for a moment, and her voice became uncontrollably louder.

Jing Yan stood up and walked to the aisle window, lowered his voice and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Auntie...I'm coming to Beijing. The school has an exchange student opportunity and I want to come here soon...I don't know how to tell you, just ..I want to settle down...”

"How can there be a child like you! He left without saying a word! You can even tell me before you get on the plane," Mrs. Yu interrupted him and became more and more angry, crying faintly, "You What an unfamiliar little white-eyed wolf, he doesn't even think about whether Auntie can't find you and will be anxious and afraid, and only cares about whether he is happy..."

When he heard his aunt crying and talking, he felt sad for a while, "I didn't..." He wanted to refute in a low voice and guilty conscience, but he felt that he should say something else to the person who was worried for him, "I'm sorry, Auntie , don't worry."

Jing Yan pushed the window open, and there was a branch outside in front of him.He smelled the northern trees and listened to the chatter on the phone. "Have you brought enough clothes? Are the sheets and quilts your own? What if you can't get used to the food over there? Where do you live? Do you have enough money? I still have two bank cards at home and I'll transfer some money to you. .”

"It's pretty good, I'm not unaccustomed to it, and the students around me are also very nice..." Before he could finish speaking, the phone turned off automatically again.Jing Yan pressed it blankly for a long time but there was no response, so he had to stuff it back into his pocket.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, it felt really good to be cared about and worried about like this.At least somewhere, there are still people thinking about him, thinking about whether he has enough food and clothing, and sending him some warm and harmonious life fragments.

He knows he's going to be independent and strong, and that's what he's here for.But walking alone on the road, he also wants to be hugged gently by someone occasionally.

Jing Yan hugged his knees again and sat down at the door, and the waiting time became less difficult.

After an unknown amount of time, the door finally opened.The roommate came out yawning, and Jing Yan quickly stood up. "Why are you squatting at the door." The boy looked at him in surprise. "I forgot to bring the key..." He was a little embarrassed, the other party seemed to be a little speechless by his habit of throwing things away, and went out without saying anything.

Jing Yan put away his things and continued to charge his phone in an attempt to turn it on.He turned on the small lamp on the table, listed some daily necessities that still needed to be bought in the afternoon, and opened the book that he hadn't finished yesterday to continue reading.

The roommate bought steamed stuffed buns for one person from outside, and sat on the bed to eat.The two of them didn't speak, Jing Yan was a little nervous, he actually wanted to communicate with the people around him, but he didn't know how to speak.His social interaction is always passive. From high school to university, he has always dared to say a word or two only when others approach him.

After watching for a while, someone knocked on the door.Jing Yan walked over to open it, and the supervisor stood at the door, "Are you Lin Jingyan? Someone is looking for you downstairs."

Jing Yan changed his clothes and went downstairs, "Teacher Song." The person who was waiting for him in the shade of the tree and was wearing white short sleeves turned around.

"Have you eaten yet?" Song Bo asked him, Jing Yan shook his head, raised his arm subconsciously, and lowered it stiffly when it reached his eyes. "what time is it?"

Song Bo turned on his phone and looked, "It's almost eleven o'clock, let's go to lunch." He frowned a little annoyed, "Your phone is broken again? I called you in the morning and kept turning it off."

"It seems so..." Jing Yan took it out to have a look, but there was still no response, "I'll go buy a new one this afternoon." Song Bo nodded, and the two of them walked a short distance apart. "Didn't I tell you that you can call me by my name directly, so I feel so like a teacher to you?"

Jing Yan blinked his eyes and wondered in his heart, what does it mean to be like a teacher, you are in the first place. "This is at school, I think it's better to call you a teacher...and you came here as an external professor to teach."

The person who was leading the way walked to the side of the car and stopped to look at him, "You don't need to call it that outside of the classroom." Jing Yan was a little confused by his obsession with addressing, and the next second he saw him open the car door, "You Did you buy a new car?"

Song Bo absently turned on the co-pilot for him, "No, I basically don't need a car at school. I borrowed it from a friend, it's more convenient." Jing Yan said "Oh" and sat on it, the seat was a bit too far forward, But he thought it was the teacher's car, so he sat down very neatly without adjusting it.

The car drove to a nearby shopping mall, Song Bo didn't ask him what he wanted to eat, and took him directly into the ramen shop. "Yao Yihang said you used to like eating this." Jing Yan pulled the chair away and said nothing.

In fact, he can't eat greasy things very much now, and he has long lost interest in fried chicken and cola.But it's better than Song Bo asking him what he wants to eat. In his eyes, food only serves to satisfy his hunger.

He didn’t look at the menu and ordered the same as Song Bo.Song Bo took a sip of ice water and asked him, "Have you contacted your aunt?"

"Well, I called her in the morning. She was quite worried, afraid that I might not get used to it here." "Then how are you doing in the dormitory for the past two days?" Jing Yan didn't have the habit of complaining to others, and looked down. Desktop, "It's okay, there's nothing wrong with it."

The noodles were served quickly, and Song Bo used his untouched chopsticks to pick up the seaweed in his bowl, "If you are not used to it and it is inconvenient, you can find me, understand?"

After dinner, Song Bo accompanied him to buy a bunch of miscellaneous things for the dormitory. Jing Yan is really a person who has no self-care ability and common sense of life. The luggage is only packed in a box, and there are only a few clothes and sheets and quilts in it.Song Bo insisted on carrying the heavier bag for him, but Jing Yan handed it to him embarrassedly.

The two of them were shopping in the electronics store, Jing Yan thought it would be better to buy a cheaper mobile phone to save some money.Song Bo answered the phone and seemed unhappy after hanging up.

"There is an urgent matter at the school, I have to go back quickly. You wait here for me to come back to pick you up after finishing my work." Jing Yan quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I can just take a taxi or take the subway, I know the way. "

Song Bo still wanted to talk, but he called again to remind him.He had no choice but to say hastily, "You buy the phone and I'll contact you later" and left with a bag.Jing Yan bought the cheaper one, went out and sat on a chair to change the calling card.

One after another, the message alert came in, Jing Yan just sat there blankly and didn't look at it, he guessed it was probably Yu's sister-in-law who called him before.It was already noon, the sun was shining brightly outside, there were many people in the shopping mall who came to go shopping and watch movies together, Jing Yan looked at them, and decided to go back by himself after sitting for a while.

Falling down the subway twice drowsily, he walked out from the platform.The ground was a little hot from the sun, Jing Yan walked towards the dormitory with a not-so-heavy bag.Sweat slid down his forehead, Jing Yan wanted to put the phone in his pocket and take out a tissue to wipe it off, but he didn't expect a phone call at this moment.

He was in a hurry for a while, and almost dropped his newly bought mobile phone on the ground.The bag in the other hand was torn for some reason, and small objects were scattered all over the floor.

Jing Yan was flustered, he didn't know whether to answer the phone or clean up first, when there was the sound of a bicycle bell behind him, "Hey, don't stand in the middle of the road to block people." He quickly squatted down and put those things together as much as possible The balls were picked up and dropped one by one and put into his arms.

Someone stood in front of him and picked up two for him.Jing Yan wanted to raise his head to thank him, "Thank you—" He got up too fast, the blood couldn't return to his brain for him to breathe, he just felt dizzy for a while, and someone was holding him tightly.

He only glanced at that hand, the blood seemed to flow out of his body, and the undigested greasy food at noon was churning violently in his stomach.
