Chapter 260: Extra "After the Reunion" (VI)
The guesthouse He Yu rented is actually a bed and breakfast.
It's not that he's short on money, it's just that it's the closest to the hospital where Xie Qingcheng lives.
"Brother, wait, don't come in yet."
He Yu took the key and opened the door, but suddenly thought of something, he first rushed to the living room table, and put away the laptop and the pile of manuscript paper on the table.
After collecting these things, he began to straighten the table, hurriedly hanging up the coats left on the sofa, before rushing to the door to fetch Xie Qingcheng's house shoes.
The living room is bright, He Yu's behavior is Xie Qingcheng's eyes, Xie Qingcheng think He Yu seems to be very do not want to let him see the contents of the computer.
"The house is a bit of a mess ...... I don't have time to organize it and I don't let the cleaning lady in ......"
"It's fine." Xie Qingcheng scanned the interior.
In fact, He Yu's habits are quite good, many times better than Xie Xue's, and much cleaner than many male college students in modern society.
But judging by Xie Qingcheng's request, it's quite a mess.
The suitcases are spread out on the floor, there are a couple of cups of coffee that haven't been washed yet, the pile of clothes is pretty much gone, and there are a couple of balls of paper towels next to the computer ......
Tissue paper!
He Yu rushes over to sweep up the missing clumps and throws them into the trash can.
Xie Qingcheng : "Why did you use so much paper, did you catch a cold?"
He Yu : "Watching, watching movies."
Xie Qingcheng : "What movie?"
"That ...... is a literary movie, very touching, so I cried." The young man began to hastily digress, "Brother, what do you want to drink? Milk? Tea? Or ......"
"Tea."
He Yu immediately went to the kitchen to prepare.
While he makes tea, Xie Qingcheng walks around the modern, minimalist house, which, despite the fact that He Yu hasn't lived here for long, already has obvious traces of his presence.
On the table are books and magazines related to movie production, a few pairs of newly bought sneakers are stacked near the suitcase, and in the open closet there are some unopened sports wristbands and caps, all of which are hard to find in China.
But most obviously ......
Xie Qingcheng came to the room's spring-loaded soft bed and saw a picture of himself on the nightstand.
That photo should be someone else's street photo that had been circulated on the internet before, and even he himself had never seen it. In the photo, he was wearing a black tweed winter coat, lighting a cigarette, and was standing on the playground of the Medical University, leaning against the handrail and resting with his legs stretched out.
The photo was in a brand-new log frame, but through the frame you could see that it was slightly yellowed around the edges, and it was obvious that He Yu had rubbed it and looked at it countless times over the past two years and six hundred long nights.
Xie Qingcheng was just lost in thought when suddenly the cell phone in the living room rang, it was He Yu's cell phone.
He Yu's voice came from the kitchen, "Brother Xie, help me see who it is, I can't spare a hand."
Xie Qingcheng went to see it.
"Xie Xue."
"Oh, well, why don't you get that for me then."
During Xie Qingcheng's convalescence, her cell phone was offline from time to time, so Xie Xue always looked for He Yu when she had anything to do in the past few days, so she didn't have to bother her brother.
But Xie Xue's feelings towards He Yu as her "sister-in-law" are very subtle. If she had a choice, she would never want her childhood playmate, who is also her student, to end up with her big brother. At this point, she suddenly understood Xie Qingcheng's feelings when she questioned Wei Dongheng, and now she's really having a heart attack. Who wouldn't it be good for Big Brother to accept in the end, but a male student thirteen years younger than him?
Besides, He Yu hasn't even graduated from college yet!
High school diploma!
Her brother is a PhD! Doctor!
Furthermore, those rotten accounts ...... they had before and the things that happened at her wedding are all being rumored in the Huzhou business circle. She had previously held He Yu away from her big brother s hopes, but as a result, it now seems that her student is indeed about to become her sister-in-law.
Xie Xue is depressed.
But there's nothing to be done.
Xie Qingcheng in the United States for two years, He Yu thought Xie Qingcheng dead, that kind of heart like ashes walking corpse appearance, she all see in the eyes. Her heart is also meat long, can distinguish what is true love, she will not stop He Yu what, have to be entangled in their own digestion.
She remembered those two years, when He Yu first came to her house, the man had lost a great deal of weight, asked her some simple questions, and then stared into her eyes.
After looking at it for a moment, He Yu's eyes became red.
He Yu asked her, "What do you do when you miss him."
Xie Xue thought, "I'll call when I miss him.
But she couldn't tell He Yu, that would kill him, and with more or less the vengeance of having her older brother snatched away, she said to He Yu, "I'm very sorry, but people always have to come out."
She thought He Yu would be angry.
However, she didn't realize that He Yu didn't even have that little bit of living breath left to lash out at outsiders at that time.
He Yu just lowered his eyelashes and never looked at Xie Xue's eyes again.
He said, "I'm sorry, I can't get over him."
At the end, he added, "Can you give me a little something of his? Anything."
He was rich, with enviable wealth.
But what he wants most is just the simplest book that Xie Qingcheng has read and a pen that Xie Qingcheng has used ......
What he had was too little, and he pleaded mournfully for alms.
Xie Xue blamed him and annoyed him, and originally did not want to give it to him, but she saw the tea soup in front of He Yu move a little, spreading a round of silent ripples.
She had never seen He Yu in tears.
Xie Xue eventually went soft, and she gave He Yu the key to Stormy Lane.
When she gave him the key, she struggled internally, cursing herself for introducing He Yu to her home, and not wanting to upset Xie Qingcheng--
Xie Qingcheng cares about him.
Because she loves her brother so much, she ends up putting herself in her brother's shoes about everything, no matter how much she's against them being together.
She said that day to He Yu, who wiped tears from his eyes and put his keys away in his chest pocket, "Live well."
She didn't like him, she didn't accept him, but she ended up giving him the gentlest of hugs.
"If you love him, value your life, He Yu. You'll live to be eighty or ninety, and that's the end my brother wants to see."
He Yu stared at her blankly from the doorway of the villa, and in the end he answered nothing but smiled.
That smile was so heartbreaking that even Xie Xue couldn't help but feel her heart pumping as she watched.
She thought it might have been at that moment that she truly let go of the nagging feeling inside her and acquiesced to the fact that He Yu was with her brother.
She had never seen such a sad smile in her life.
But that's all in the past now, and after He Yu came to New York, he and Xie Xue reverted back to the pattern of getting along with each other in less than three words.
The sister-in-law resented her new sister-in-law and cursed.
He Yu this sister-in-law is also not easy light, he in front of Xie Qingcheng is still very good, in Xie Xue here but also changed back to the old state.
Yesterday, before they hung up the phone, they had a fight because Xie Xue wanted Xie Qingcheng and Yaya to have a video, but He Yu not only disagreed, but also pulled her out of Xie Qingcheng's address book, and went to extreme lengths to forbid Xie Xue's mother and daughter from interrupting him and Xie's brother.
Although He Yu quietly released her afterward, Xie Xue was still furious.
As soon as the video connected, before she could even see who was on the other side of the phone, she cursed, "You smelly little white boy ......"
Xie Qingcheng : "............"
"You heartless, super jealous woman!"
Xie Qingcheng : "............"
The signal delay finally passed, and Xie Xue saw her big brother's indifferent and calm eyes in the video link after cursing those two throw-away sentences.
A few seconds later.
Xie Xue Stammered, "...... Hi ...... you, how are you, brother ......"
"Didn't I tell you that girls shouldn't talk dirty." Xie Qingcheng said, "Forgot?"
Xie Xue : "I'm sorry brother, I won't talk next time ......"
That's weird!
In fact, she was afraid of disturbing Xie Qingcheng's rest, so when she saw that Xie Qingcheng answered the phone, she immediately made a long story short, roughly meaning that she had already gone to HU to complete the re-entry formalities for He Yu, and that He Yu would be able to go back to school in September.
Considering He Yu's social experience and professional level, she helped him apply for a special approval, which granted him a bachelor's degree in choreography and directing from HU as long as he could pass all the exams within one academic year.
Xie Qingcheng nodded, "Tough luck. Is he still in your class after he repeats?"
Xie Xue : "It should be the class with Prof. Hong."
Xie Qingcheng said, "Then if there are any areas where he is weak, you take the extra trouble to patch him up."
"I know ......" Xie Xue mumbled, but in her heart she said, "What's the remedy? He Yu's IQ still needs to be supplemented?
"Right." Before hanging up the video, Xie Xue said, "Brother, when you come back in a month, I have another good news to tell you."
"What?"
Xie Xue laughed heartily, "Not with you yet!"
Xie Qingcheng brought her up from childhood, has long been accustomed to her this kind of love to sell the character, so did not pursue the question, the two chatted a few more sentences, then ended the call.
He Yu warms two cakes in the oven while he prepares the tea, the scent of cheese wafting from the kitchen and smelling sweet on the tip of his nose.
Xie Qingcheng quit the WeChat call box, intending to put the phone down to see how He Yu there, but did not expect the WeChat interface to exit, the back of the application software jumped out.
He Yu does not have the habit of quitting the app in time, sometimes it will not quit for two or three days, and it just hangs out in the background.
So Xie Qingcheng stumbled upon his player interface, which seems to be ......
He raised an eyebrow, recognizing it after a few moments of closer inspection.
Or the video of the two of them being filmed earlier in Cullinan, which He Yu is watching and is seeing the most intense part at the end.
"......"
Xie Qingcheng can understand.
It's normal for a young man to look at this kind of stuff for therapy.
But actually He Yu doesn't need to watch the video, he feels that he is perfectly capable of bringing He Yu back to that kind of feeling slowly, and it might be better if he is on top instead.
He is more calm and has a lot of medical theories and will not let He Yu get hurt.
While Xie Qingcheng was thinking like this, He Yu came out of the kitchen with refreshments. Xie Qingcheng silently turned off his cell phone screen and put it back on the coffee table to avoid embarrassing the young man, then raised his eyes from the sofa to look at him.
"Warm up some pastries so they don't hurt your stomach."
Xie Qingcheng nodded, "Sit."
He Yu surprisingly didn't sit down next to him, but took a seat on the small couch across the room, and turned on the TV in the process, which was yakking about talk shows.
Xie Qingcheng didn't break down He Yu's intention, that's the good thing about mature men, they are steady, cautious and won't embarrass anyone.
He talked to He Yu about going back to school in September, and He Yu looked very happy: "Then I can go to the University of Medicine to look for you again."
It is true that Xie Qingcheng did not choose to become a police officer in the end, although Zheng retained his police number.
But after a lot of things, Xie Qingcheng has figured out that sometimes an unfulfilled childhood dream is just an obsession, and that he has come a long way in his life, on which he has seen too many soul-stirring landscapes as a doctor and a professor of medicine.
People have their own destiny, he originally thought that his favorite profession or police, but when he faced that a deep blue and that a white to make a choice, he realized that he has long been unable to let go of the old Qin pointed out to him the road.
He'll still go to med school when he returns, that's his destiny.
And he finally reconciled himself to his destiny.
Xie Qingcheng said, "After the school year starts, you have to pass three school year exams in one school year, study hard, nothing to run around."
After a pause, he added, "It's not like you went to a medical school."
He Yu: "Then is it too late for me to transfer to another school?"
Xie Qingcheng stared at him.
He Yu laughed, "Just kidding."
They chatted for a while longer, and as it was getting late, He Yu said, "We'll go out for dinner later, and then I'll take you back to the hospital. Which restaurant do you want to go to? We did a guide before, I think that Spanish restaurant and steakhouse are both very good ......"
Xie Qingcheng, however, suddenly said, "It's raining heavily. Let's eat at home."
He Yu suddenly stopped talking.
For the first time in his life, he wished so much that the person he liked would hurry up and leave his house and not stay any longer, so that he could solve the problem himself and get out of the oppression of his desires. God knows that every minute Xie Qingcheng stays, it is more torment and test for him.
He Yu 欲哭无泪...... he thought: Xie Qingcheng What the hell are you going to do, let you go you don't go, I really can't stand it anymore ......!
