love letter to summer

Chapter 62 Chapter 62

July fourteenth.

Ye Ji went back to school for the exam.

At noon, I had dinner with Xia Tang and Mama Ye, Mama Ye was generous, ordered a large table of food, and stuffed the two of them like starving ghosts.

Xia Tang kept his expression dodged throughout the meal, not daring to look at Ye Ma or Ye Ji.

Ye Ji knew what he was thinking—a strong sense of morality was whipping him, and he felt guilty towards Ye Ma and his family, because he was doing something that violated morality and would make them sad.At the same time, he felt even more guilty towards Ye Ji, because he did such a thing, but pretended nothing happened, as if he was playing with his feelings.

He needs time to think clearly, Ye Ji said to himself, don't force him.

During the meal, Mother Ye asked Xia Tang if he would go to see his grandfather with Ye Ji. Xia Tang hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed. He had told Ye Ji before that he would go together. He always kept his word, even now the two The relationship was awkward, and he didn't want to go back on his word.

After dinner, Ye Ji went back to school to meet with the person in charge of the research project. He frankly told the other party that he was still considering it. The person in charge said that he could submit an application to the university first. It is enough to notify the university in advance, but the 25 US dollars paid for the registration fee cannot be refunded.

Ye Ji went home and began to prepare materials and fill out the application form.

When he got home, the house was empty, and Xia Tang had already returned to his own home.

Ye Ji felt a little lonely.After preparing the materials, he continued to write the thesis. After writing for a while, he glanced at the phone. The phone became a pool of stagnant water, and Xia Tang didn't even send a punctuation mark.

Ye Ji wrote papers lonely, cleaned the house lonely, and finally lay down on the bed alone. After 10 minutes, he was defeated by loneliness. He got up and sent a message to Xia Tang with his mobile phone. No matter what Tang said, in the end he just sent a message to remind Xia Tang of the departure time tomorrow.

Xia Tang replied: Well, I remember, good night.

Ye Ji: Good night.

Xia Tang didn't reply again.Ye Ji turned over and looked at the ceiling. He thought of King Oedipus, that poor guy was predicted before he was born that he would kill his father and marry his mother. Dipas abandoned him immediately after he came out.However, Oedipus wandered around all his life, and after going around in circles, he did not escape his fate after all—he killed his father and married his mother without knowing it.

Ye Ji thought of this story, and thought of himself and Xia Tang, he felt like a prophet, he had seen his end, but he couldn't stop the gears of fate, he saw the gears rolling down the hillside, falling into the abyss, falling He was crushed to pieces, so he could only watch with his hands down.

No matter what he did, or what happened between him and Xia Tang, the outcome would not change. One day, Xia Tang would leave him.

He already knew the ending.

He already knew.

July [-]th, four o'clock in the afternoon.

After getting off the plane, Mother Ye received a call. Judging from her words, the caller should be Ye Ji's father, Ye Jinwen.

They took a taxi at the airport exit, Ye Ma sat in the passenger seat, Xia Tang and Ye Ji sat in the back.

Mama Ye said, "Son, let me tell you something."

Ye Ji hummed.

Ye Ma said: "Your father's wife is feeding the old man in the hospital. Your father said that she never liked your father contacting us. If we go over now, we will meet her and she will be unhappy to see us. Your father's It means, we haven't eaten anyway, so why don't we go eat now, and we'll go there after her wife leaves the hospital." When she was talking, she looked at the small mirror on the sun visor, and Ye Ji's face was reflected in the mirror. Look at Ye Ji from the mirror.

Ye Ji guessed that she was worried that these words would make him unhappy, and if Ye Ji showed any unpleasant expression, she would ignore everyone and rush straight to the hospital with her son.

Ye Ji looked at her calmly in the mirror to let her know that he was not unhappy, and said flatly: "Okay."

Ye Ma looked at him carefully and said, "Jin Wen also told me, if you don't like this, we will go directly to the hospital."

Ye Ji shook his head: "It's okay."

Ye Ma was silent for a while, then laughed: "You are so easy to raise."

Perhaps because she seldom speaks in such a gentle tone in front of others, even Xia Tang couldn't help showing surprise.

Ye Ji bumped Xia Tang with his knee, trying to tease him to speak, but Xia Tang moved his legs away, turned his head and looked out the window again, pretending to be looking at the scenery.

Mother Ye shifted her gaze from Ye Ji to Xia Tang, and said, "Xiaotang, your mother told me last night that you want to be a social enterprise after graduation."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Xia Tang immediately felt sad, and with a sad face, said: "My parents don't support it, they said that I will be poor and become a beggar in the future."

Ye Ma joked: "Don't look down on beggars, the leader of the beggar gang is much richer than me."

Xia Tang immediately seemed to see a savior, rushed to the passenger seat, grabbed the back of the seat, and said pitifully: "Auntie, please help me persuade my parents."

Mother Ye: "Xiaotang, don't blame Auntie for reality. I can't help you with this. You are a family. No matter what happens to you in the future, your parents will always love you. But Auntie, I am an outsider. I will help you today." Persuasion, if you succeed in your career in the future, that's fine, if you don't succeed, your parents will blame me for the rest of your life."

What Ye Ma said was reasonable, and Xia Tang couldn't force it anymore, but seeing a window locked by God again, he was really frustrated.

Ye Ma: "You try to persuade them yourself."

"I persuaded, they almost kicked me out."

Mama Ye: "Listen to me, although social enterprises are charitable, they operate in a similar way to ordinary enterprises. If you really do this business, you will have to hold project proposals and talk with others everywhere in the future like me. , Find a way to get them to pay. If you can't even persuade your own parents, how can you be able to persuade others?"

"It makes sense." Xia Tang thought for a while, and then said, "But it's still different, my parents always use their status as a parent to pressure me, saying that I am ignorant and too young, and they objected for my sake. People outside wouldn't say that to me."

"Your picture is broken. Many of the people you will meet in the future are big shots who have been in a certain field for ten or even 20 or 30 years. When you disagree with them, they will have a beer belly. Tell you..." Ye Ma lowered the corners of her mouth, raised eyebrows, and scolded, "Boy, don't you even look at who you are, dare to challenge me? I eat more salt than you eat!"

Xia Tang laughed out loud.

Ye Ma patted his hand: "Don't be afraid, try your best to convince your parents, whether you can persuade them or not in the end, this will be a very valuable life experience for you."

Xia Tang sniffed pitifully: "But I have already failed once..."

"It's just one time. My highest record is [-] failures. You are better than me."

Xia Tang: "Then did you succeed in the end?"

Ye Ma nodded and said, "Otherwise, I should be the leader of the beggar gang by now, and I can take you around the world to eat and drink spicy food."

"Hahahaha—" Xia Tang laughed till he rolled.
