Bohemia

Chapter 17

Yan Huan and Xie Xiunan were like fish in water on the university campus. They sat on the stone steps in front of the library basking in the sun, and it was rare to have a moment of tranquility.

Xie Xiunan remembered that he had told others on the train that he was from Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College, so he said to Yan Huan, "Why don't we go to Tsinghua University?"

"Don't go." Yan Huan didn't bother to move, and said, "Your temperament doesn't match Tsinghua..."

Xie Xiunan immediately said it smoothly: "Who said it, my mother..."

He reacted immediately and stopped talking.

"Huh?" Yan Huan narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Xie Xiunan said innocently: "My mother wanted me to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University since I was a child."

Yan Huan laughed and said, "You must have been beaten a lot when you were young."

Xie Xiunan proudly puffed out his chest, and said, "That's not true."

Yan Huan stood up from the steps, looked around, and said, "Xie Xiunan, let's find a job, otherwise we'll really drink the northwest wind."

"Okay." Xie Xiunan had no objection.

It is said that there are many opportunities in Beijing, but these opportunities are never reserved for people like Yan Huan and Xie Xiunan.

Yan Huan and Xie Xiunan searched for a long time, and finally found that they could only find some simple jobs, such as... delivering couriers, leaflets and other chores.

Xie Xiunan suggested: "Why don't we go to...the bar again?"

Yan Huan glanced at him, feeling a little weird in his heart, as if he didn't want to see another Xie Xiunan again.

It's not that Xie Xiunan is bad, it's just that it's a bit unfamiliar to Yan Huan now.He still likes... No, he's still used to Xie Xiunan who has no temper and is optimistic even when the sky falls.

Seeing that Yan Huan didn't answer, Xie Xiunan asked again with a smile: "How is it?"

"Forget it." Yan Huan hesitated, "I don't want to bother."

"Ah, that's fine." Xie Xiunan nodded.

The two drove two Hello bikes by the side of the road. Yan Huan let out a breath, put on his hat, and said to Xie Xiunan, "You wear a hat, it's windy."

Xie Xiunan nodded and said, "Yes."

When the two came out of the labor market, they really felt inexplicably miserable.

Xie Xiunan said, "Hey, Yan Huan."

"Huh?" Yan Huan said, "What's wrong?"

Xie Xiunan stopped at the red light intersection, straightened his long legs, and said, "You said... Is this what Bei Piao feels like?"

Yan Huan: "...Piao your head, people from Bei Piao are much more senior than you, okay? They are all white-collar workers, the kind who work in office buildings. You are at most..."

Xie Xiunan turned his head and asked, "What is it?"

"Migrant workers." Yan Huan joked.

Xie Xiunan laughed loudly and said, "Okay."

When the green light turned on, Xie Xiunan said happily, "Let's go!"

Yan Huan really convinced him, I really don't know what kind of magical human being he is.After a while, Xie Xiunan said while riding, "Why don't I continue selling postcards."

Yan Huan thought of seeing him sitting under the flyover when he was in Qingdao, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Not for sale."

They went back to the university and finished their meal according to yesterday's method. Xie Xiunan even bought a pack of side dishes today.Today's weather is also very good, Yan Huan saw a few people sitting cross-legged on the grass, so he said to Xie Xiunan: "Let's also go to bask in the sun for a while."

"Okay." Xie Xiunan had no objection.

Yan Huan found a fairly clean place, and Xie Xiunan brought him a discarded poster, wanting to give him a cushion.Yan Huan waved his hand and said, "No, it's not that delicate."

Xie Xiunan was taken aback for a moment, and finally put the poster under his buttocks.

Yan Huan was sitting at first, but then he couldn't sit still, his whole body was full of laziness, and he wanted to lie down directly.

"Hey!" Xie Xiunan still has a bit of a cleanliness after all, maybe he was trained by Xie Xiaoyu in Seattle, "Don't sleep on the floor with your head, is it dirty, and...is it hard? Is your head so tight?"

Yan Huan said, "Then where should I lie?"

Xie Xiunan suddenly smiled and said, "I... on my lap."

"Okay." Yan Huan said lazily.

"Ah?!" This time it was Xie Xiunan's turn to be dumbfounded.

Before he could react, Yan Huan fell asleep on his lap and adjusted his posture comfortably.

Xie Xiunan's heart was beating fast, his whole body was stiff, he didn't dare to move, he stammered, "You, you're serious."

Yan Huan opened his eyes, looked at Xie Xiunan from bottom to top, and said, "Yes."

In fact, this angle is quite a test, because no matter how you look at it, there will be a double chin, but Xie Xiunan... Yan Huan looked at it secretly and thought it was okay. This also proves that Xie Xiunan's face is really good at fighting.

Xie Xiunan cleared his throat, and suddenly began to look into the distance inexplicably, and said, "Then you go to sleep."

Yan Huan couldn't sleep, but he still closed his eyes.

Xie Xiunan's position in his heart slowly began to change.Yan Huan knew that this change was happening, but he still let it develop gradually.The first time, he could think it was a coincidence, the second time, he felt that Xie Xiunan was haunted, but the third time, the fourth time... It was hard for Yan Huan to simply regard his feelings for Xie Xiunan as a curious.

But so what?Yan Huan thought, he is a person who doesn't know where to go, how could he expect Xie Xiunan to really like him?

Just this moment.

Just do it now.

But Yan Huan still has a strange self-esteem.He thought, it was mostly because of Xie Xiunan.

He longed for a change, longed to become "worldly" again, and wanted Xie Xiunan not to suffer with him.

But how to do it...

At this moment, a girl's voice broke into Yan Huan's ears.

"Hello, I... can I interview you?"

Yan Huan opened his eyes and looked at her blankly.A girl with black shoulder-length hair bent down and approached them cautiously, almost with respect.

Yan Huan: "..."

Xie Xiunan: "..."

Yan Huan exchanged glances with the girl, then pointed at himself and Xie Xiunan, and said, "Me?...Him?"

"Yeah." The girl squatted down, her eyes lingered on the faces of the two, she lowered her voice, and said uncertainly: "Are you two lovers?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Xie Xiunan coughed violently, his ears turned red, and he almost choked to death on his own saliva.

Yan Huan: "...pardon?"

He was so scared that he spoke English.

The girl with shoulder-length hair said a little disappointed: "No? Then we guessed wrong... But we watched from a distance for a while, and I really think you are, sorry, sorry."

"Who are you?" Yan Huan still couldn't get around the corner.

The girl with shoulder-length hair explained: "We are doing a project related to same-sex couples."

"... Oh." Yan Huan was a little speechless.

Are he and Xie Xiunan really this gay?Fuck, this is already the second time.

The girl with shoulder-length hair apologized: "I'm so sorry, I wanted to invite you to eat, and then I will interview you..."

"and many more!"

Yan Huan and Xie Xiunan spoke almost simultaneously.

The girl with shoulder-length hair was taken aback by them, and said, "Huh?"

Yan Huan reacted quickly, squeezed Xie Xiunan's palm behind his back, and Xie Xiunan asked calmly, "What's there?"

"A lot... such as how you started, the views of your family..."

"No." Xie Xiunan shook his head heavily, "What do you have to eat?"

The girl with shoulder-length hair: "..."

"Pizza." She tentatively said, "Barbecue, French fries, just some snacks."

Yan Huan immediately stood up from the grass and said decisively, "OK, when will the interview start?"

The girl with shoulder-length hair: "..."

Xie Xiunan also stood up, feeling like "I'm ready, I won't leave if I don't have enough food today".

Why does this feel a bit wrong...

The girl with shoulder-length hair looked at the two of them, she couldn't laugh or cry, so she said, "Okay, okay, then come with me... My team members are over there."

Yan Huan and Xie Xiunan didn't hear anything clearly, and there was only one word in their eyes: meat!
