During the half month since he left school, Su Yuwei did not go home. His father found a way to get Su Yuwei's new phone number, called him and started to scold him, asking him to go back and join the army immediately.
Su Yuwei looked at the household registration book and ID card that he had secretly taken away, and said with a sad face: "Dad, I can't go. I fell and broke a big piece of skin on my knee. I can't walk anymore. If I go now, won't it embarrass you?"
Father Su was furious on the other end of the phone. This son was always looking for trouble for him!
"Dad, I will heal my wounds first and then go back to apologize to you. Your son always keeps his word!" Su Yuwei said, and hung up the phone with a snap.
Qin Ye and Shan Xiaotian, who were sitting on the sofa opposite, looked at him as if he were a monster.
After a while, Shan Xiaotian said enviously: "Hey, Su Yuwei, how do you deal with your dad? Teach me, so I can deal with my mom..." But before Shan Xiaotian finished his words, he cried out.
Qin Ye twisted his ear and whispered, "Go upstairs for class."
"My ears hurt! Qin Ye, you are the first woman who dares to attack me. Let go, let's fight one on one!" Shan Xiaotian was dragged upstairs by Qin Ye, hunching his body and pretending to be tough.
Su Yuwei calmly watched the two people go upstairs, then grabbed the potato chips on the table and enjoyed his alone time watching TV series.
Qin Ye had trained him into a completely obedient man during his three years in high school. Now, it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with a little brat like Shan Xiaotian!
So, during that half month, Dan Xiaotian was completely obedient under Qin Ye's training. If he didn't listen to Qin Ye, Qin Ye would not give him money or cook for him. If he dared to resist Qin Ye, Su Yuwei would confiscate his game console and deal with him for Qin Ye.
On the contrary, if Shan Xiaotian is obedient, Qin Ye will cook a lot of delicious food for him, and Qin Ye's cooking skills are getting more and more sophisticated. Su Yuwei will also teach Shan Xiaotian how to play games, and lead him from a rookie to the leader of the largest gang in District 12.
During this period, they had some minor quarrels, but they always lived in peace.
In half a month, Ina came to Ancheng once with Qin Ye's tuition.
However, Qin Ye did not charge tuition. She asked Ina to take the money back to return it to her parents, and also asked Ina to help her pass on a message: "I am now tutoring a single mother's child. The tutoring money is enough for me to use for this semester. I will go home to see my parents during the winter vacation and tell them not to blame me. I have grown up and want to survive independently in this world."
Seeing that Qin Ye was determined, Yina patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sister Qin Ye, you are my idol!"
From the Qin Ye who didn't even dare to ask his parents when he wanted to go out to play, to the one who dares to live alone and face the difficulties in the future, Ina feels that Qin Ye has changed a lot, and she appreciates this change very much.
At the end of half a month, Shan's mother flew back from abroad.
She gave all the money to Qin Ye, and Qin Ye used his salary to buy a gift for Shan's mother.
She felt that if she were not a single mother, she would be isolated and helpless in this strange city.
It was Shan Mama who helped her in this city.
Shan's mother smiled and said to Qin Ye, "You don't have to be so polite. I also want to thank you for helping me take such good care of Xiaotian. The tutors I hired for him before never stayed for more than five days."
Qin Ye glanced at Shan Xiaotian, who was lying on the sofa like Ge You, and said with a smile, "Xiaotian is very obedient."
"Xiao Ye, come and play more often when you have nothing to do. You are always welcome here." Mother Shan held Qin Ye's hand and said gently, and Qin Ye felt warm in his heart.
"Xiaotian, see your little teacher off." Mother Shan turned and said to Shan Xiaotian.
Dan Xiaotian played with the tassels on his clothes and said awkwardly, "No way..."
"Are you a disobedient child?" Mother Shan pretended to be angry.
"I don't want to see you off. If you want to go, just go. Don't ask me!" Shan Xiaotian turned over and lay on his side on the sofa.
He didn't know why, but he felt a little unhappy. He didn't know what caused this "unhappiness", but he just felt upset.
Qin Ye smiled and said, "It's okay, Mrs. Shan, I'll leave first. My friend is waiting for me outside."
"Okay, I'll take you there." said Mrs. Shan.
"No need." Qin Ye said quickly, "Mrs. Shan, please stay. I will go back with my friend." After saying that, she nodded slightly and left the living room.
Dan Xiaotian, who was lying on the sofa, felt uncomfortable all over. He began to rub his hands on the sofa, making some unknown sound and becoming irritable.
"What are you doing?" Shan's mother asked, puzzled by her son's behavior, "You are having epilepsy."
"It's so annoying!" Shan Xiaotian felt like his heart was on fire. He got up from the sofa, without even putting on his shoes, and ran out.
Outside the door, Su Yuwei had just helped Qin Ye take the luggage.
"Qin Ye!" Shan Xiaotian stood at the door and shouted at Qin Ye angrily. At the end, an awkward look of reluctance appeared on his face, and he muttered, "Will you come to see me again in the future..."
"No." Su Yuwei answered for Qin Ye, staring at Shan Xiaotian vigilantly.
Qin Ye secretly pinched Su Yuwei, walked to Shan Xiaotian, and said with a smile: "I will come if there is a chance."
Dan Xiaotian buried his head, holding his pants with both hands, and after a long while he managed to mumble out two sentences: "I... I'm not very good at liberal arts, can you come and help me improve it?"
His little face turned red with shame. How could a man like him say such coy words?
"What?" Qin Ye didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing." Shan Xiaotian raised his head and waved his hand quickly, "Go ahead."
"Then I'll leave." Qin Ye said, turned around, and followed Su Yuwei out of the villa area.
Seeing Qin Ye leaving without even looking back, Dan Xiaotian muttered, "I've lived here for half a month, and you don't have any feelings for me at all? You just left without saying goodbye. At least say goodbye to me."
"I thought you were having epilepsy, it turns out you just can't bear to leave your little teacher." Shan's mother's teasing voice came from behind. Shan Xiaotian turned his head and looked at his mother smiling at him with ill intentions.
Shan Xiaotian rolled his eyes at her and said, "What a nosy woman!" Then he held his head high and swaggered into the house.
Mother Shan shrugged. Since her son thought she was meddling, she didn't tell him that she wanted Qin Ye to come over on the weekend to help Xiaotian with his English and Chinese studies.
A university.
Because it is now the time for students to report, the four school gates of A University are crowded with people. The faces of the freshmen are full of energy, as if they are full of curiosity about everything in the future.
Qin Ye and Su Yu only had Ding Shaocheng and Qiao Shuanghua to help them, and they quickly completed the new student registration procedure.
"You guys go to the dormitory and get ready first. Xiao Qiao and I will go out to find a restaurant and we will get together in the evening." Ding Shaocheng said as he sent them to the dormitory building.
"Okay, I'll call Fatty Lin as well, he won't be here until the afternoon." Su Yuwei said as he carried his luggage and ran upstairs to the dormitory building. Qin Ye also returned to the girls' dormitory.
The girls' dormitory has four people in a room. When Qin Ye went in with his luggage, two people were already inside and the beds were made.
"Hello... My name is Qin Ye, and I'm from Fengcheng." Qin Ye politely introduced himself first.
The girl lying on the bed by the window put down her phone and pointed at herself: "I'm Su Man." She then pointed at the bed next to her and said, "That's Fu Lin."
A simple self-introduction, without any extra words. Qin Ye nodded awkwardly, then went to make his own bed.
Su Man and Fu Lin both had typical internet celebrity looks, and they were dressed very fashionably. Even their bed sheets and mosquito nets looked several notches higher than Qin Ye's. What was even worse was that these two people were indifferent and indifferent to the matter, and Qin Ye found it difficult to get along with them.
Long before the college entrance examination, I had imagined whether I would not get along with my college roommates. I didn’t expect that my guess would come true.
Qin Ye glanced hopelessly at the empty bed next to him, wondering what kind of person this new roommate who had not yet arrived was.
After making the bed and preparing the luggage, Su Yuwei called Qin Ye to go buy daily necessities.
Su Yuwei was a man who didn't know much about life, and he didn't know what to buy for daily necessities. So, he followed Qin Ye carefully, and Qin Ye helped him choose one by one, and the things he chose were cheap and good-looking.
Su Yuwei was only responsible for paying and carrying things.
"Qin Xiaoye, you are so nice." Su Yuwei followed behind Qin Ye and couldn't help but flatter him.
"It's not too late to know that I'm good now." Qin Ye said proudly.
Su Yuwei laughed twice and said, "You have become shameless."
"If you say that again, I won't choose anything for you." Qin Ye turned his head and glared at Su Yuwei, his cheeks puffed up.
"I won't say it." Su Yuwei covered his mouth with his hand. Faced with his childish behavior, Qin Ye didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.
After buying the daily necessities, Qin Ye saw the girl sleeping next to him. She was a round-faced girl with short hair.
Seeing Qin Ye coming back, the round-faced girl immediately took out food for her and said with a bright smile: "Hello, my name is Orange, and I'm your new roommate. This is a gift for you, a specialty from our hometown."
Qin Ye looked at Su Man and Fu Lin. They also received gifts from Juzi.
Qin Ye took it and looked at it, and asked in surprise: "Sutang? Juzi, are you from Fengcheng too?"
"What?" Juzi looked at Qin Ye in disbelief and asked, "Fellow countryman?"
Meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land, Qin Ye nodded excitedly: "Yes, I'm from Fengcheng, and I went to An Gao High School."
"No way? An Gao, I'm in the city, my god, it's only ten minutes away!" Orange grabbed Qin Ye's shoulders excitedly and jumped up.
The two girls from the same hometown hit it off immediately and chatted animatedly.
"I have a dinner party with a few friends tonight, all from Fengcheng. Orange, come with us!" Qin Ye enthusiastically invited Orange to go with him.
In the past, she had only come into contact with Su Yuwei's group of people, and she didn't know that having a female friend was such a happy thing.
"Okay! I will definitely go! I'm worried that I won't be used to anything here alone. Qin Ye, it's great to meet you!" Orange hugged Qin Ye tightly.
The other two girls in the dormitory looked at them while putting on makeup, and couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads.
Almost ignoring Su Man and Fu Lin, Qin Ye said cautiously: "Su Man, Fu Lin. You too..."
"No need, we also have a party." Su Man interrupted Qin Ye and refused.
Qin Ye and Juzi looked at each other. Juzi pulled Qin Ye and motioned her to go out and talk.
So, the two of them took their bags and ran around the school in circles. They almost dug out all of each other's assets, and opened their hearts to each other.
Qin Ye grabbed Juzi's hand and said with some emotion: "Juzi, you are my first female friend."
Orange looked up at the sky and said carelessly: "Although you are not the first, you may be the best one...Oh my god, it's so dazzling." He wanted to pretend to be literary and sentimental, so he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, but unfortunately the sunlight was too dazzling.
Qin Ye burst into laughter and Juzi chased after her to spank her.
It was getting dark when Qin Ye received a text message from Ding Shaocheng, who sent him the place where they wanted to have dinner.
Qin Ye took Orange to the gathering place. When Qin Ye brought Orange to them, everyone looked at Qin Ye with wide eyes in disbelief: "Qin Ye, you made friends?"
Qin Ye confidently introduced Ding Shaocheng and the others to Ju Zi. After learning that Ding Shaocheng and Qiao Shuanghua were a couple, Ju Zi first passed over Fatty Lin and got in front of Su Yuwei, asking flatteringly, "Does this handsome guy have a girlfriend?"
Fatty Lin felt a little unhappy about being ignored, but he still had a good impression of this short-haired girl.
"Although this handsome guy doesn't have a girlfriend, he has a lover." Fatty Lin, who was ignored, felt unbalanced and shouted in a sarcastic tone.
Juzi pointed at Qin Ye and said, "As long as it's not Xiao Ye, I don't care who her sweetheart is. I just have a special liking for handsome guys."
Juzi looked at Su Yuwei with peach blossoms in her eyes. Su Yuwei was quite proud - there was nothing he could do, he was just so popular, and this advantage could not be changed, which was really distressing.
"Well, I'm sorry, but Su Yuwei's sweetheart is Qin Ye." Fatty Lin continued to make trouble quietly.
Orange woke up as if from a dream and said in shock: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Qin Ye was so embarrassed that he hit Fatty Lin and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
"Am I talking nonsense?" Fatty Lin raised his eyebrows at Su Yuwei proudly.
Su Yuwei stared at Qin Ye in a daze, remembering the day when she received the admission letter, he said to her, I think I'm about to fall in love with you.
Then she squatted on the ground and started crying.
Su Yuwei didn't dare to tell Qin Ye this.
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't I know what you're thinking? You had a crush on the girl, but she didn't like you, so you stabbed me, right?" Su Yuwei punched and kicked Fatty Lin, who kept dodging and turning around the table.
Seeing the people in front of her fighting like children, Qiao Shuanghua said helplessly: "Alright, hurry up and sit down to eat."
Everyone sat down properly and the waiter served the dishes one by one.
Ding Shaocheng ordered some beer and planned to drink with the boys, but for some reason, the three girls also drank.
On the terrace, the six of them sat around a table, reciting poems and singing to the stars in the night sky. Six people, six different thoughts, six different expectations for the future.
After three rounds of drinks, the moon went into the clouds. I don't know if it's because today is the day for new students to register, but the noise of this night lingers for a long time.
It was Qin Ye’s first time drinking alcohol, and his face turned red after a few drinks.
Her blurry eyes wandered over Ding Shaocheng and Qiao Shuanghua, never leaving them, while Su Yuwei kept looking at her, also never leaving.
Perhaps the ones who really had no worries were Fatty Lin and Orange. The two of them drank and played finger-guessing games carefree, and it was quite lively.
At half past eleven, Ding Shaocheng paid the bill, supported the tipsy Qiao Shuanghua, and asked Su Yuwei and Fatty Lin to send Qin Ye and Juzi back safely.
After Ding Shaocheng left, Fatty Lin dragged Orange away. Orange grabbed the air in the direction of Qin Ye and shouted, "Xiao Ye... Xiao Ye..."
Fatty Lin tactfully pulled the orange away, leaving space for Su Yuwei and Qin Ye.
Qin Ye lay on the table, playing with the chopsticks in her hand out of boredom. Her head felt heavy and she didn't want to get up and walk at all.
Su Yuwei slowly poured beer into his glass, took a sip, ate some food, and then looked at Qin Ye.
Qin Ye felt more and more uncomfortable. She squinted her eyes and suddenly fell down from her seat.
Su Yuwei quickly went over and held Qin Ye up. Qin Ye simply nestled in Su Yuwei's arms, smacking his lips and fell asleep.
"Qin Xiaoye, this is not a bed." Su Yuwei gently patted Qin Ye's cheek. Qin Ye slapped Su Yuwei's hand away with a little anger, and said vaguely, "Don't touch me..."
Su Yuwei looked at Qin Ye steadily and said, "Qin Xiaoye, you are too fat. I can't carry you."
"You're fat!" Qin Ye was angry with Su Yuwei like a child, and almost grabbed Su Yuwei's chin with his hand. Su Yuwei grabbed her hand, lifted her up on his back, and sighed resignedly, "No matter how fat you are, I have to carry you."
After saying that, Su Yuwei carried Qin Ye on his back and walked towards the school.
Qin Ye on his back was very restless. He frowned and said painfully: "I want to vomit..."
"Don't vomit, Qin Xiaoye! If you dare to vomit on me, I will not care about you!" Su Yuwei warned.
Qin Ye rubbed Su Yuwei's shoulder and said, "My name is not Qin Xiaoye, my name is Qin Ye!"
"Just call me Qin Xiaoye!" Su Yuwei likes to call her that. This is his exclusive name and he is reluctant to give it up.
"My name is not Qin Xiaoye..." Qin Ye climbed a little higher, hugged Su Yuwei's neck, and whispered in his ear, "My name is Qin Ye. Qin is the Qin of Qin Shihuang, and Ye means sparkling. I want to be a sparkling little person in the future! My home is at No. 28 Tengluo Street. Can you take me home?"
For some reason, at that moment, Qin Ye's breath filled Su Yuwei's ears, and he felt an electric current running through his body, and then his body and soul were warmed. Su Yuwei carried Qin Ye more steadily. He didn't know what it felt like to have the whole world on his body before, but now he knew.
He carried Qin Ye on his back as if he was carrying the whole world on his back. Qin Ye was her world.
She appeared in his past, and he wanted to hold her hand, walk through the present and into the future.
Never separate.
But dear Qin Xiaoye, do you know that I like you? How can I let you know my feelings?
The road was lined with sweet-scented osmanthus trees, and the buds were about to bloom, tightly wrapped with their own rich fragrance. Su Yuwei's heart was tightly wrapped with Qin Ye. If she waited for the day when the petals bloomed, it would definitely be the happiest and most romantic thing Su Yuwei could think of.
In the new school, Qin Ye is like a new beginning. She chose the Chinese Department, Su Yuwei chose the Computer Department, Su Yuwei is still holding on to his dream of becoming a game designer in the future, Qin Ye wondered, what is her dream?
"Qin Ye, what is your dream?" Orange, who had just finished the literature concepts class, asked Qin Ye, because the teacher had asked them the same question in class.
Nowadays, college students are all buried in their books, reading novels or playing with their phones. So the teacher asked: "Why do you want to go to college? Why do you choose this major? What is your dream?"
"Juzi, what is your dream?" Qin Ye asked Juzi. It's not that Qin Ye doesn't have a dream, she just doesn't have a specific dream. She just wants to be more independent and live in this world without any pain or itch.
She doesn't have any big ambitions, she just wants to live a fulfilling and happy life.
Juzi thought for a moment and said, "I am a person who is afraid of trouble. It would be nice if I could find someone I like to live with and open a small shop in a third-tier city."
Qin Ye felt that Orange’s dream was quite suitable for her.
But what did she want to do? Qin Ye suddenly thought of Shan Xiaotian and her own growing years, and her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"Maybe I want to be a teacher." Qin Ye walked out of the teaching building and said in a daze as he looked at the rows of birds flying in the sky.
Juzi held Qin Ye's arm and encouraged her: "If you become a teacher in the future, I will let you teach my child!"
Qin Ye smiled and immediately understood.
Being a teacher seems to be a good idea. If parents can't give their children something, teachers should be able to give it to them, right? If that's the case, Qin Ye doesn't want to see another self appear.
"Okay, I'll be your teacher! Come on, Orange, I'll treat you to some oden." Qin Ye grabbed Orange's hand and said with his chest puffed out.
"Great!" When he heard that there was food, Orange jumped up immediately.
At this time, Qin Ye's cell phone suddenly rang, and Qin Ye answered: "Hello, Mrs. Shan."
The person who called was Dan Xiaotian's mother. She said awkwardly on the phone: "Xiaoye, do you have time this weekend? Xiaotian's grandmother is sick, and I need to go home to see her. Can you help me take care of Xiaotian? I'll double the money this time, okay?"
"Mother Shan, I don't want any money this time. How long will you be gone?" Qin Ye asked.
"I really don't know. I guess he won't come back until his grandmother's condition gets better. Xiaotian is naughty and can't take care of himself, so I have to trouble you again, Xiaoye. Will it cause you any trouble?"
Qin Ye shook his head and said, "Don't say that, Mom Shan. You helped me before, so it's only natural for me to help you. There won't be any trouble."
"Okay, Xiaoye, just come directly on Saturday. I left my keys and bank cards with Xiaotian."
"Okay." Qin Ye agreed and hung up the phone.
Orange asked cautiously: "What's going on?"
"A place where I work as a tutor." Qin Ye pursed his lips and said, "Let's go and eat oden."
Orange didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, oden is the biggest dish right now, so let's eat it first.
On Saturday, Qin Ye appeared in front of Shan Xiaotian’s villa, but no one opened the door after he pressed the doorbell for a long time.
Just when Qin Ye was about to call Shan Xiaotian, the door suddenly opened. Shan Xiaotian, wrapped in a blanket, looked tired and complained: "Qin Ye, why did you come just now? I'm starving... It's time for lunch."
"Your mother left so early? I'll go cook for you right away." Qin Ye hurried into the house, tied an apron and went into the kitchen. Fortunately, there were some sandwiches and eggs in the refrigerator, so there was no problem making breakfast.
Shan Xiaotian was about to close the door when he suddenly saw Su Yuwei popping his head out.
"Why are you here too?" Shan Xiaotian said in an unfriendly tone.
Su Yuwei looked down at Shan Xiaotian, grabbed his head with his palm, and pointed his finger to warn him: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, little guy, be honest."
Shan Xiaotian pretended to be confused, raised his voice, and said in a baby voice: "Brother Su Yuwei, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Do you still want to play games?" Su Yuwei raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Please come in." Shan Xiaotian weighed the pros and cons and made way for Su Yuwei, who walked in with a swagger.
Qin Ye made some egg sandwiches for Dan Xiaotian to fill his stomach, then she went out with her shopping bag and said, "Wait for me at home. I'm going to buy some groceries for lunch."
Shan Xiaotian and Su Yuwei watched her go out kindly, then threw away their cutlery and sat down in front of the game console. Shan Xiaotian shook the handle, puffed out his chest like a soldier, and said majestically: "One game will decide the outcome!"
"You should study hard at such a young age." Su Yuwei looked at him with disdain and turned on the game console. The 3D racing interface occupied the entire electronic screen.
But when it comes to playing games, Shan Xiaotian is really no match for Su Yuwei. Even if it was Su Yuwei three years ago, it would be effortless for him to defeat Shan Xiaotian.
Seeing his game interface finally turned gray, Shan Xiaotian kicked his legs angrily and said, "It's not fair! You are older than me! This is an unfair victory!"
Shan Xiaotian and Su Yuwei played a game. If Shan Xiaotian lost, Su Yuwei could follow Qin Ye to his house. If Shan Xiaotian won, Su Yuwei was not allowed to follow Qin Ye to his house.
Su Yuwei has never lost a bet on Qin Ye.
So, every day that followed, Su Yuwei would stand between Qin Ye and Shan Xiaotian.
Shan Xiaotian secretly said to Qin Ye: "I don't like that brother!"
Su Yuwei would hold the corner of Qin Ye's clothes and say pitifully, "I'm worried that you'll be in danger, Qin Xiaoye."
The two people gave Qin Ye a headache.
After Shan's mother came back, she hoped that Qin Ye could come over every weekend to help Shan Xiaotian improve his weak English. Qin Ye agreed.
This continued until the summer vacation of his freshman year. Before the summer vacation, Dan Xiaotian followed his mother to learn how to make a cake for Qin Ye and said to her sweetly: "Teacher Qin, see you in September!"
On the train back to Fengcheng, Su Yuwei said to Qin Ye jealously: "Qin Xiaoye, don't give Shan Xiaotian extra lessons anymore!"
"What are you doing?" Qin Ye looked at Su Yuwei in confusion. What made him so unhappy?
"Can't you see that brat Dan Xiaotian likes you?" Su Yuwei asked, turning his head.
Qin Ye almost spit out the mineral water she had just drunk. She choked and coughed twice, and said with wide eyes: "Su Yuwei, Xiaotian is still a child!"
"So what if he's just a child? Dan Xiaotian is almost seventeen years old. When I was seventeen, wasn't I also..." The anxious words were about to come out, and Su Yuwei quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from saying the rest.
Didn’t I fall in love with you when I was seventeen?
"What's wrong with that?" Qin Ye asked.
"Nothing." Su Yuwei turned his head stubbornly and stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze. Is the scenery outside the window beautiful? Not beautiful, not as beautiful as Qin Ye. The light in Su Yuwei's eyes gradually dimmed, and this feeling made him very unhappy.
If one day, Qin Ye was snatched away by someone else, would he regret not confessing his feelings?
But if he confessed, would Qin Ye still care about him? They might not even be able to be friends.
Rather than this, it is better to keep those words in your stomach until they rot and turn into smoke, which will be blown away by the wind.
Qin Ye, who was sitting next to him, subconsciously tightened her hands on her knees. She was sensitive to Su Yuwei's mood change, but she couldn't ask. Since she could sense his mood change, she naturally also realized his feelings for her.
Three years of high school, one year of college. Four whole years, Qin Ye knew everything.
But there is still someone in her heart that she can't get rid of, like a tree that is not affected by wind and rain, with roots extending to every cell of her body, and she can't drive him away.
After returning home, Qin Ye brought gifts for his parents and Ina. His parents seemed to be still angry, but Qin Ye had already finished his freshman year, so there was nothing they could do even if they disagreed.
Sleeping together with Ina at night, Ina secretly told Qin Ye that she fell in love with Ye Ming.
Qin Ye was surprised. She knew that Ye Ming was admitted to a local university, but she didn't know when Ina had any contact with Ye Ming.
"The most contact was when you left Fengcheng last year. He and I went to the train station to look for you. Later, I was very worried about you, and he was the one who comforted me. You can't tell from the surface, but I didn't expect Ye Ming to be so careful and considerate. Hehe, he also helped me a lot when I was in high school and told me interesting things about college. Oh, sister, don't tell my dad." Ina talked about her girlish thoughts, but was worried that her parents would know. Qin Ye stroked her hair and said gently, "This is our secret."
Yina was like a rabbit that had eaten a carrot. She snuggled in Qin Ye's arms docilely and gossiped about her relationship problems: "Sister Qin Ye, what about you? Do you have a boyfriend?"
The first person who popped into Qin Ye’s mind was the frivolous Su Yuwei. She quickly shook her head and immediately thought of Ding Shaocheng.
"I don't want to have a boyfriend for the time being." Qin Ye stopped Ina from talking. Ina understood that she didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Qin Ye has lived through nineteen summers, but the summers in recent years have been particularly memorable for her.
Cicadas were chirping outside the house. Qin Ye closed the windows and turned on the air conditioner, playing Minesweeper on the computer out of boredom. When Ding Shaocheng called, Qin Ye was drowsy.
After answering the phone, Qin Ye keenly heard Ding Shaocheng's hoarse voice.
"Where are you? What happened?" Qin Ye was worried and concerned about everything related to Ding Shaocheng.
"I'm at the Ziguangge Teahouse." Ding Shaocheng seemed to have lost all his energy and had no strength to speak.
Qin Ye answered the phone while changing his shoes and said, "I'll be right there."
I don’t know what happened to Ding Shaocheng, but Qin Ye knows that he needs her at this moment.
Qin Ye and Ding Shaocheng sat opposite each other in the Ziguangge Teahouse. Ding Shaocheng stared at the busy traffic outside the window in a daze, while Qin Ye ordered a cup of Maoyanmei for himself.
Ten minutes later, Qin Ye couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Brother Shaocheng, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Ding Shaocheng's eyes were blurry, and he said in a daze: "She is leaving."
"She?" Qin Ye was puzzled.
"Qiao Shuanghua." When this name came out of Ding Shaocheng's mouth, Qin Ye's fingertips instantly became cold. Did he ask her to come out to accompany him just because of Qiao Shuanghua? Her heart felt like it was whipped and pulled hard.
"Where are you going?" Qin Ye asked, biting his lower lip tightly and clenching his hands.
Ding Shaocheng sighed and finally retracted his gaze: "She has been telling me about studying in Canada for quite a long time."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Qin Ye didn't understand. Qiao Shuanghua's study abroad in Canada would only benefit her future. Could it be that Ding Shaocheng was sad because he would have few opportunities to meet her in the future?
"But she broke up with me." Ding Shaocheng raised his eyes and looked at Qin Ye. That look made Qin Ye feel distressed. "I asked her, between my dream and hers, which one should she choose, and she chose her dream. Xiaoye, if I let her go, it means I'll let her go for the rest of my life. Do you understand how I feel?"
Qin Ye felt like she had something stuck in her throat. How could she not understand? For so many years, hadn't Qin Ye been like this to Ding Shaocheng?
"Do I have to go abroad to pursue my dream?" Ding Shaocheng grabbed his hair in frustration, his voice choking, "When we were together, we said that no matter what happened, we would never separate. No matter how big the fight was, we would make up in the end, but how could she go back on her word? How could she do this?" As Ding Shaocheng spoke, his voice was filled with sobs. He grabbed his hair tightly and slapped his head again and again.
Qin Ye walked over sadly and sat down beside him, holding his hand and comforting him: "Don't be like this, things can still be salvaged, right? Shaocheng..."
It was the first time she called him like that, and she felt cautious and unfamiliar.
"I was so scared. I was afraid that she would really leave me, leave me forever. I didn't want her to go..." Ding Shaocheng covered his face and cried like a child.
Qin Ye's heart was filled with sadness and anger, and her frowning brows were shaking. She suddenly disliked Qiao Shuanghua. She thought, what would Qiao Shuanghua do if she saw that Ding Shao was so sad about her? Why should something that she cherished like a treasure suffer so much in the eyes of others? Qin Ye felt that God was too unfair.
Qin Ye stood up slowly, she hugged Ding Shaocheng's shoulders and slowly held him in her arms. She didn't want to ask Ding Shaocheng the cause and effect of what happened, she only knew that if Ding Shaocheng was sad, her heart would be sad too.
"If you are sad, you can cry. Don't worry, I will find a way to help you..." Qin Ye rubbed Ding Shaocheng's hair. She had only touched his hair when she was a child. At that time, his hair was still very soft, but now it has become a little prickly.
Outside the window, a group of boys on skateboards suddenly passed by. When the group of boys passed by the window, one of them came back.
Su Yuwei thought he had seen it wrong, so he turned back to take a look.
But if possible, he would rather be wrong. Inside the window, Ding Shaocheng hugged Qin Ye's waist, Qin Ye hugged his shoulders, and gently stroked his hair. That scene was like a thunderbolt piercing Su Yuwei's head, and his mind went blank.
Deep in my heart I felt a sharp slap, and the cold temperature spread to every hair on my body.
Qin Ye raised her eyes slightly, and happened to meet Su Yuwei's burning gaze. Her body stiffened, and her fingers twitched subconsciously.
The anger in Su Yuwei's eyes was obvious. He gritted his teeth and used his fingers to grab the skateboard to pick out the powder from the paint that had just been applied on it.
An electric bike braked next to Su Yuwei, and the owner of the bike yelled, "What are you doing blocking this place? Are you sick?"
"You are sick! Shut up!" Su Yuwei shouted at the owner of the electric bike with red eyes. Then, he looked at Qin Ye with anger, turned around and ran away.
That glance suddenly made Qin Ye feel uneasy, and he didn't know why.
She could hardly hear Ding Shaocheng's voice. Su Yuwei's eyes just now made her feel scared and uneasy. But for some reason, she couldn't move. She hesitated and became irritable.
She likes Ding Shaocheng, always has, so she should stay and accompany Ding Shaocheng.
But why, why do I feel sorry for Su Yuwei? They are obviously just friends.
Qin Ye did not chase her out. She suddenly felt ridiculous, the feelings were ridiculous, the feeling that suddenly came to her heart was ridiculous, they were ridiculous, and the years were ridiculous.
That day, Ding Shaocheng cried in Qin Ye's arms for more than ten minutes. Then, he wiped his face as if nothing had happened and said to Qin Ye: "I'm sorry, Xiaoye, I made you worry."
"It's okay." Qin Ye said calmly, and then asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine. I'll feel better if I find someone to talk to." Ding Shaocheng eased the depression in his heart, drank a sip of tea, and said, "I know I have no right to interfere with Qiao Shuanghua's pursuit of her dreams, but I think there must be another way to have both. Let her study abroad, and we won't be separated."
"Yes." Qin Ye walked to the seat opposite and sat down again, smiled slightly, and said, "You go abroad with her."
When Qin Ye said this, he clearly felt heavy, but he said it with ease. If Ding Shaocheng really went abroad with Qiao Shuanghua, then Qin Ye would be the Ding Shaocheng of the last second.
"I... I've thought about it, but I don't know if my parents agree, and I haven't had the time to apply yet." Ding Shaocheng has too many things to worry about, so he is so troubled.
Qin Ye asked: "Ding Shaocheng, do you love her? I'm not saying like, I'm saying love, the kind of love that makes me want to wear a wedding dress for her, grow old with her, and die with her."
Ding Shaocheng was stunned for a moment, then said decisively: "I love her."
A gentle smile crept up the corners of Qin Ye's mouth, and her eyes were like a pool of deep, clear spring water. She said, "In that case, what else do you have to fear?"
In that case, you should bravely pursue what you love.
Those worries are just tests for this relationship. If the test is passed, it will last forever.
"Xiao Ye..." Ding Shaocheng looked at Qin Ye with gratitude, "Thank you..."
He knew what to do. If he let Qiao Shuanghua leave like this, he would regret it for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to regret it for the rest of his life.
Qin Ye watched Ding Shaocheng leave happily, but he himself fell into a tangled web.
Qin Ye was waiting for news from Ding Shaocheng and his final decision.
She stayed at home for nearly ten days, and Ding Shaocheng's phone interface was always on her phone screen. Seeing Qin Ye's absent-minded look, her parents were very worried, but Qin Ye didn't tell them anything.
Ten days later, Ding Shaocheng called.
Qin Ye was lying on the recliner when he answered the phone. Ding Shaocheng said excitedly on the phone: "Xiao Ye, my parents agreed! My parents also like Xiao Qiao very much, so they don't object at all. I will go to school to prepare all kinds of information and procedures when school starts. Xiao Ye... I also told Xiao Qiao, and Xiao Qiao couldn't believe I would do this. I said it was you who gave me the confidence. Xiao Ye, Xiao Qiao and I have reconciled, thank you..."
Qin Ye covered his mouth to prevent the sadness from bursting out.
"Xiaoye, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Qin Ye didn't speak for a long time, Ding Shaocheng asked worriedly.
Qin Ye took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "Oh...really? I took a nap and just woke up. Congratulations on becoming your brother."
Qin Ye's throat was filled with sadness and he hung up the phone without waiting for Ding Shaocheng to say anything else.
Lying on the table, Qin Ye finally burst into tears.
It was another summer like this, and her unrequited love was burned to ashes by the hot weather.
It's time to let it go. Ding Shaocheng and Qiao Shuanghua really like each other and are made for each other. This is an unchangeable fact. But Qin Ye felt so uncomfortable, and he couldn't tell anyone about this discomfort.
Qin's father and mother heard their daughter crying outside the door and knocked on the door worriedly: "Xiaoye, what's wrong with you?"
No answer.
"Is this girl in love?" Qin's mother guessed. If she wasn't in love, what would make her so sad?
"In love?" When Qin's father heard that Qin Ye was actually in love behind their backs, he immediately increased the force of his knocks on the door and shouted, "Xiao Ye, come out and talk? Are you in love? Come out quickly!"
"Stop arguing, it's so annoying!" Qin Ye held her head and cried, "Stop arguing, she is already very sad."
"You kid, you're so mean to your parents. Who allowed you to date? What if you get cheated?" Qin's father was about to force his way in. Qin's mother immediately stopped him and clapped his hands secretly, "What are you doing? Have you forgotten how your child ran away from home last time?"
Father Qin said anxiously: "I, I am doing this for her own good, isn't it?"
"Okay, if the child really wanted to talk, she wouldn't lock herself in the room. She's grown up now, so stop worrying about her." Qin's mother persuaded Qin's father to sit back on the sofa. The TV in the living room was replaying Qin Ye's favorite TV series.
But now, home doesn't seem like home anymore.
People like to judge whether something , but it is difficult for them to judge whether something is wrong from their own perspective.
Summer is long, but autumn is not far away.
The past is the past, and the future is still the future.
