I'm still doing fine

Chapter 61 – The Later Later



Chapter 61 – The Later Later

The new semester is coming sooner than expected, and those leisurely days spent in a leisurely way will soon pass away like a dream.

Liang Duanyuan helped An Yichi move things and tidy up the dormitory, then had to go back and leave him alone at school.

There were a lot of fragmentary things in that semester, and in An Yichi's subjective impression, it passed very quickly. He made up for the courses he missed, and many times he took classes with completely unfamiliar lower-level juniors, and other times Taking credits for this semester, it was only for a short period of time that I was able to see my freshman roommate Zhou Nan, chat for a while, and say hello with a smile.

More often, he was alone in the dormitory, lying on Liang Duanyuan's desk, and when he was bored, he would look through the various miscellaneous books on the shelf.

When Liang Duanyuan came home from get off work, they turned on the video screen and did their own work.

"Introduction to Architectural Space", "Beginning of Architecture", "Illustrated Thinking"... those textbooks that Liang Duanyuan had never opened before, but An Yi kept her leisure and read them one by one.

With encouragement, An Yichi began to try to join some clubs, choirs, photography associations, youth volunteer groups, and reading clubs.

After a month of ignorant and meaningless running, I finally found that it is better to stay in the room and read by myself.

"I don't like that." An Yi knocked his chin on the edge of the table, "It's uncomfortable to sit among all kinds of strangers who don't know each other at all."

"Then do you have something to do by yourself?" Liang Duanyuan got up and sat down on the lazy chair on the balcony, with half of her face reflecting the light blue sky outside, "If you don't want to go, don't go, don't force yourself."

"I have something to do." An Yichi nodded, sat up straight and pulled out a book from the bookshelf, "History of Urban Construction in China", "This is your textbook, I think it's very interesting."

"Look, this is your note." He turned the pages of the book, revealing sporadic sharp black words, and a slightly rounded blue word at the bottom, "This is my annotation."

"Very serious, very good." Liang Duanyuan looked intently, and found that most of the blue characters were explanations of the background of a certain dynasty that was casually mentioned in the textbook, "Like architecture?"

"No." An Yichi shook his head, thinking, "I like to see, um, the lives of people in the past, or stories?"

"Then try to persevere." Liang Duanyuan smiled, "Do you want to come over on the weekend? If you don't want to move, I will go to the school to find you."

Their days just rolled forward without waves.

On June 6, a week or so before the graduation ceremony, a flea market began to be set up outside the dormitory area. On Saturday, Liang Duanyuan came to the school to see An Yichi.

"Some second-hand books are for sale. See if there is anything you want." In the crowded crowd, Liang Duanyuan took An Yizhi's shoulders and helped him avoid pedestrians who were not looking at the road. "Don't buy things you use. I leave all of mine to you."

"I was wondering why you didn't come back to set up a stall." An Yi smiled, looking forward, as if he saw a familiar figure, "Is that Chen Chen? It seems that there are also Guan Qifu and Si Jian."

"Well, yes." Taking advantage of her height, Liang Duanyuan confirmed, "Go over and say hello."

"The storage box is 10 yuan, half the price of the original second-hand book, and you can give it to the pirated copy."

"Chen Chen! How much is this? Oh, 20 pieces, [-]% new, bought unused."

"Hey, this chain is not for sale, aunt, I bought it for thousands of dollars, and you paid 5 yuan... Hey, hey, I will call the police if you take it away."

In the distance, the three of them rushed to their ears like a gust of wind, Liang Duanyuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that there were so many people, so he decided not to bother her, but when she stopped, Chen Chen gave her a serious look. with.

"Duanyuan, elementary school brother! Come here, come in and sit down, I have a small mat here." He pulled the mat on the floor to make a passage, "I haven't seen you for a long time, since you are here, how about Help us sell the goods, Si Jian, one of you go over and help him."

Liang Duanyuan and An Yichi looked at each other and smiled, the two of them were so confused that they were forced to work all night.

At 11 o'clock, when there were not many nearby villagers and students still wandering outside, Guan Qifu rode a small tricycle and came over to close both stalls.

"Thanks for your help." Chen Chen clapped his hands and said boldly, "Go, I'll treat you to barbecue with this little money."

"Treatment," Si Jian sneered, staring at the stack of five and ten yuan in his hand, "You have quite a lot of money after selling such a few things at a low price. Let's go, I invite, there is a restaurant outside the school gate that is delicious. "

"That's so embarrassing," Chen Chen pocketed the money, "I still want to eat stir-fried crayfish, garlic scallops, and charcoal-grilled oysters!"

"It's a beautiful idea." Si Jian rolled his eyes.

"You've been working for a year, and you're still at our flea market to dispose of second-hand goods." Chen Chen didn't care, maybe at some point, he gradually saw through his soft-spoken and soft-hearted temper, "I don't care, I want to eat, I can’t sleep if I don’t eat!”

……

The three of them were walking in front of each other, occasionally interjecting about Qifu, and Chen Chen looked very happy.

"Tang Xiaozheng hasn't come back yet," An Yichi and Liang Duanyuan whispered, "The graduation ceremony is coming soon, is he really not coming back?"

"I want to come back," Liang Duanyuan replied, "It's just to avoid Chen Chen, he also needs to get a diploma."

That night the barbecue stand was extremely lively, and the surrounding tables were all gathered by graduates, with constant laughter and laughter.

"Architecture is really a persuasion industry." Chen Chen took a sip of beer and grinned bitterly, "This is too bad, puff, puff - I went back to my hometown for an internship for a month, and I was given 800, which was not enough for food and taxis .”

"Change another company." Si Jian said decisively, "The boss can't."

"Ah," Chen Chen replied, and said after a while, "So I decided not to go back to my hometown. I want to stay in Shuosang. A few days ago, I got an offer from the school."

"Good news," Guan Qifu raised his glass upon hearing this, "Come and have a drink."

The four raised their cups in response, only Chen Chen touched the handle of the cup, and relaxed to grab a cup of soy milk, "I'd better drink this, I don't like the taste, it's too bitter."

The glass collided with each other, and beer foam splashed on the table. Amidst the noisy chatter, Chen Chen touched the beer glass, thoughtfully.

I don't like it, I really don't like it. Tang Xiaozheng has always hated alcohol, probably because of her mother's torture.

He was dazed, but was patted lightly by Liang Duanyuan, "Eat more, you didn't have dinner."

"Ah, umm," Chen Chen shook his head and smiled, "It's just an intermission, I haven't opened it yet to eat."

The boss served dishes one by one, including scallops, oysters, barbecue, and bright red crayfish. It can be seen that Si Jian refused, but he was very considerate when ordering. The night gradually settled in the smoke.

The lively barbecue restaurant finally quieted down after the crowds of guests left.

"One last drink," Si Jian knocked on the table, laughing, "Have a drink for our two new society members who are about to become the unnamed Xiao Chen and Xiao Liang. I wish you a bright future."

He used to hate the scenes that adults said in wine bars, and felt that they were both insincere and greasy, but at this time, he had graduated more than a year earlier, he had experienced it once, and knew that maybe after drinking this wine, the next time he would be real. I can no longer find a reason to get together.

It is extremely sincere with a not uncommon congratulatory speech.

In the future, no one will listen to drunken nonsense late at night, no one will rush out to accompany you after a phone call, and eat black barbecue grilled with iron braze in small street shops, and no one will know when you are in a bad mood. silence.

Now that I have to face the world alone, it doesn't matter how good my grades were, how wonderful my experience was, how much my mentor valued me.

Becoming a surname without a name, becoming a rookie at the beck and call of others, becoming a worker who no longer dares to drag pictures easily and work overtime all night without swearing. They will start to compete with the world.

A week later, as Liang Duanyuan said, Tang Xiaozheng came back, talked and laughed as usual, but lost weight visibly

Many, he tidied up his bed and textbooks, saying that the food in Japan is really bad, and there is nothing he can do about it.

He didn't go to Chen Chen, he left a bunch of wagashi and chocolates as special products, maybe he only said hello to Liang Duanyuan, after clearing the dormitory, he went to get his graduation certificate, and then he was silent again, like a Like a wandering soul, he drifted to the island country on the other side of the ocean.

An Yichi didn't go back to his freshman dormitory, he packed up, rented a well-decorated apartment in the community next to the school gate, and moved everything in.

Later, he stopped wandering around the campus, because there were too few familiar shadows, except for his roommate Zhou Nan, there was only one Guan Qifu left, and he never met him.

With no further disturbances, An Yichi, who lived alone, gradually began to explore, and finally confirmed his ambition in his junior year. He called Shang Xiaoyun to report, and then began to concentrate on preparing for the exam.

A year later, he was admitted to Beichen University, also in Shuosan, to study for a master's degree in history. At the same time, he heard that Guan Qifu, who was at the same level as him, was admitted to the Film Academy, so he put down his brush and began to concentrate on photography.

The residential area for master students in the new school is on the Second Ring Road near the urban area. He and Liang Duanyuan live closer and closer. After three years, the two can finally eat together at night and eat together as they said before. Go for a walk and visit IKEA together.

The only regret is that the smart city project was indeed successful, but Deng Xiqian's company did not have enough financial and human resources to maintain its subsequent development and application. As a last resort, it was eventually acquired by a state-owned IT company.

Deng Xiqian lost his mainstay product, failed to start a business, went home and prepared to study hard, take a foreign management major to review, and fight again next year.

Liang Duanyuan went to the new company with her own project, business trips became more and more frequent, and overtime work became the norm. The time spent by An Yichi's side was not rich after all.

Fortunately, An Yichi is in good health at this time, and he also likes his new major very much. When he reads, writes and writes in the book, he can immerse himself for a long time.

Unlike before, he couldn't live without relying on Liang Duanyuan, but he sent it over, and largely became Liang Duanyuan's caregiver when he was in a bad mood or when he was ill.

Of course, regarding this point, Liang Duanyuan looked at An Yizhi's sleeping face on the screen with her elbows at night, feeling lost.

An Yichi is very used to getting up sometimes, and will see a pop-up note in the WeChat dialog box. Liang Duanyuan explained his whereabouts, and told him to pay attention to put on more clothes and eat breakfast before going out.

He smiled, did everything, left a message on WeChat, and gently closed the door with his book and notebook in his arms.

"Yi Chi, are you at home or at school?" When Liang Duanyuan called, he had just walked down the big steps in front of the library while stepping on the closed music.

"At school, just out of the library." An Yichi squinted his eyes, stared at the steps at his feet, and slowly swayed down, "Have you arrived yet? How's the weather over there? Are you wearing enough clothes?"

His inquiry fell to nothing, and only Liang Duanyuan's calm breathing was in his ears. When he stepped down the last step, he suddenly heard a response, "Look up."

Caught off guard, Liang Duanyuan stood in front of him, smiled, and stretched out her hand, "There is a problem, work is temporarily canceled, I'll take you home."

That day, the campus was burying 5G cables, and at the same time, the line was being repaired. The moment An Yichi caught Liang Duanyuan's palms, the lights were all turned off in a five-mile radius.

The city that has lost its brilliance of light is so dark at night, and it is cloudy again, there is no moon, let alone starlight.

"When I was young, I often went to grandma's house, and the village was like this at night." Liang Duanyuan's voice suddenly approached, and he breathed out warm air on the tip of An Yizhi's nose and lips, "I can't see my fingers, and no one can see I don't see anyone."

He kissed, licked An Yizhi's lips, and stuck it into his hot and humid mouth.

Tongue tangled, An Yichi heard someone's clear footsteps not far behind, he grabbed Liang Duanyuan's skirt, his body was shaking, but he never pushed the person away.

No one can see anyone, he thought, hooking Liang Duanyuan's neck, he tiptoed slightly, and gradually deepened the aggressive kiss.

This time, when the heavier and intermittent panting stopped for a moment, An Yichi felt something pressing against him, he reached out and touched it, "Let's go home, let's."

He couldn't see clearly, but he seemed to witness it with his own eyes, imagining the burning longing in those dark pupils of Liang Duanyuan's ears.

Liang Duanyuan unconsciously exerted force on his hand, while An Yi patted the back of his hand with his other hand, and the strength gradually relaxed a little.

"Holiday, wait for your vacation, I want to ask for a vacation to go home." An Yichi said with a smile in his voice, "Come with me, we agreed a long time ago."

"Okay." Liang Duanyuan did not hesitate.

"After thinking about it, I'd like to take you to meet my mother. She often asks me on the phone." An Yi held the palm of Liang Duanyuan's hand, "By the way, let's have a meal with my father too, he won't be there again." Hit me, and won't say anything about you."

"Why?" Liang Duanyuan gripped that turbulent finger warmly.

"I want to tell him that you are the son of Liang Chengjun, from Shuosang City, Secretary Liang." An Yi rubbed his nose, "He may not pay much attention to my boyfriend, but he must give Secretary Liang face, he, It's a merchant."

"Ah, a fox pretending to be a tiger?" Liang Duanyuan smiled.

"Just this time," An Yichi said, "If he still doesn't agree, I won't go home again...I don't want you to be wronged."

Liang Duanyuan stretched out her hand and grabbed An Yichi's waist, "Well, I listen to you."

When the breeze picked up, An Yichi brushed his messy hair. When he looked up, the clouds cleared and a bright moon hung high in the sky.

"Still can't see the stars..." He stared at it for a long time, remembering, "Remember? We have seen such a starry sky before."

Liang Duanyuan pinched his chin, fixed her eyes on his face, in those shallow, amber pupils.

"this is not……"

"Is it glowing?"
