Jade is not jade

Chapter 88 Never Give Up

At the end of August, Beijing.

Yu Nian checked the personal belongings in Yang Jiayue's backpack for the last time: passport, credit card, US dollars... "Where's the Offer?"

Yang Jiayue closed the suitcase and said, "It's in the inner file bag."

Yu Nian: "Well, everything is ready."

Yang Jiayue: "Let's go."

I took the subway to the airport, settled for lunch casually, was just in time to check in, check in my luggage, and get my ticket. With an hour left before the plane took off, Yang Jiayue took Yu Nian to buy two cups of coffee, found a place to sit down, and said: " Sit with me for another 15 minutes."

Yu Nian asked nervously, "Is it too late? Don't you have to go through the security check later?"

Yang Jiayue: "45 minutes is enough."

Yu Nian smiled and said, "Actually, I've been tired of being together for the past two days, so it's not short of 15 minutes." Even though he said that, he would rather Yang Jiayue stay a little longer, maybe 1 minute.

While drinking coffee, Yang Jiayue looked at the crowd in the terminal hall. There were parents who were reluctant to part with their children, couples who walked together with sweetness and warmth, and foreign travelers who were relaxed and at ease... It seems that they are rarely seen like this.

Wang Min and Xiao Long were still in their hometown and couldn't come to see him off, so they sent a text message to wish him a safe journey.

Yang Jiayue considered for a long time, and said: "My brother, please take care of me."

Wang Min: "Your brother? Yu Nian?"

Yang Jiayue: "Well, I'm his cousin Yu Yue, also known as Yang Jiayue."

Wang Min: "..."

Yu Nian touched Yang Jiayue's arm: "It's time, let's go in."

Yang Jiayue got up and walked towards the boarding passage, and stopped ten meters away from the entrance. Seeing Yu Nian looking at him, he comforted him and said, "I have handed over all my property to you. Are you still afraid that I will disappear?" Yu Nian let Yu Nian keep the keys and real estate certificate of the bachelor apartment, and asked him to still live there in his senior year.

Yu Nian shook his head: "No."

Yang Jiayue: "Then why do you look at me like that?"

Yu Nian: "Just take a look, can't you?"

Yang Jiayue: "...Okay, then I'm leaving?"

Yu Nian nodded, pulled out a stiff smile, and reminded, "Don't come back stupidly this time, the air ticket is twenty times the train ticket!"

"Well," Yang Jiayue was about to step up and leave when Yu Nian's eyes turned red, and tears came out like running water.

"Woo..." The young man couldn't help but slumped, and began to cry with a choked voice, "Brother..."

Yang Jiayue: "..."

Passers-by looked sideways at these two handsome boys, one was crying, the other comforted softly: "Okay, how old are you, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others!" Yang Jiayue patted Yu Nian on the back, He smiled at the onlookers in embarrassment (I didn't bully him, I really didn't bully him...)

Yu Nian desperately wiped his tears with his arm sleeves, but the more he wiped the tears, the more they flowed. In the end, he simply hugged Yang Jiayue and wiped them all on his T-shirt.

Yang Jiayue: "..."

Ten minutes later, Yang Jiayue whispered in Yu Nian's ear, "If I don't go in, I really can't leave."

Yu Nian let go of him with red eyes, and pushed him towards the entrance with his mouth flattened, Yang Jiayue took a step forward, embraced Yu Nian's head, and pressed a kiss on his forehead: "I'll wait for you. "

If it was possible to explain their brotherly love to the bystanders just now, then this move has undoubtedly deepened their "adultery love".Yu Nian's eyes were not only red, but his ears, neck, and face were covered with powder. He watched Yang Jiayue disappear at the entrance, and it took him a long time to recover.

Ten minutes later, I received a text message from Yang Jiayue: "I'm getting on the plane, I need to turn off the phone." Yu Nian reluctantly left the airport.

A person took the subway back alone, there was no figure of that person in the room, it seemed empty and missing a lot of things.Obviously, the last thing I was afraid of before was being alone, but now, I feel so lonely like a plant that lacks water, and my whole body is about to wither.

At the beginning of September, the lingering heat has not faded, and the residual temperature is especially high.Yu Nian couldn't stay still, took the key and went out, walking aimlessly.The sky, green trees, and tall buildings are all gray.Because of your absence, everything here is overshadowed...

Walking to the University of Science and Technology, Yu Nian walked under the shadow of the mottled trees, and seemed to feel a trace of Yang Jiayue's breath.It would be great if we could meet and fall in love sooner.

Yu Nian recalled that Yang Jiayue took him to his high school teacher's house for dinner in his sophomore year. The snow vegetable chicken shredded rice cake soup and fried dumplings that day still made him feel unsatisfied, so he walked uncontrollably in the direction of memory go.

He had a good memory, and quickly found the place he had visited two years ago. He knew that the key to the house of "Teacher Deng" was hidden under the carpet at the door, but he knocked on the door politely.

Fortunately, it was Mr. Deng who opened the door for him in person, but after seeing Yu Nian, he was a little hesitant: "May I ask who you are?"

Yu Nian stood there in embarrassment: "Mr. Deng, hello, I, I am Yang Jiayue's... friend."

"Ah, come in and sit." Teacher Deng's eyes lit up, welcoming him into the room, and pouring tea, he said, "My husband and I have brought many students, but we can't remember all of them. I just wanted to ask if you are one of our students." One, hehe, I didn't expect to be Xiao Yang's friend."

Yu Nian just came here in a trance, and now he realized his sudden visit, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know if I disturbed you, I..."

Teacher Deng said kindly: "Don't worry about it, just talk about it if you have anything to say."

Yu Nian scratched his head: "Actually, there's nothing wrong..." (Can he say he ate chicken rice cake soup on a whim? Laugh)

Teacher Deng: "Hehe, is Xiao Yang okay?"

Yu Nian lowered his eyes and said, "He's gone to the United States, he just left two days ago, and he's going to X University to study as a graduate student."

Teacher Deng was overjoyed: "This kid, he didn't come to tell me such a big thing... Hey, but it's not easy for this kid to be here today."

Yu Nian: "...?"

Teacher Deng sat down and said, "He suffered a lot when he was young."

Yu Nian: "Trouble? What kind of trouble?"

Teacher Deng was taken aback, a little embarrassed: "Teacher shouldn't talk about this matter casually, Xiao Yang..."

Yu Nian anxiously snapped back: "Can you tell me, please? I care about him very much, and I hope that I... can protect him."

"Hehe, it can be seen that you two have a good relationship, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought you here..." Teacher Deng softened her heart, and she said, "Xiao Yang was originally a student of Experimental Junior High School in Area B, and his The class teacher is an old friend of mine. Once, an old friend told me that there was a boy in the class who often poked his hand with the tip of a ballpoint pen. He didn’t feel any pain when he bled. I thought that the child might have a mental disorder, so I told her to hurry Contact the parent of the other party and take him to the hospital. Shortly afterwards, she called me again, saying that the boy and his single mother are both from other places, and they seem to be disgusted by outsiders intervening in their family affairs. She is worried about whether there is something in the other party's house Domestic abuse, leading to mental problems in children..."

Yu Nian was terrified when he heard that, staring at Mr. Deng and asking, "What happened next?"

"Later, I accompanied my friends to visit their home. That was the first time I saw the child. He was about 1.6 meters tall and five feet tall. He was so thin that he was only a handful of bones. He was quite beautiful, but his eyes were dull. , have no reaction to strangers," Teacher Deng sighed, and said, "Hey, children's psychological conditions were not taken seriously ten years ago, and his mother thought we were making a fuss. At that time, the law was not sound, as long as children There are no traces of abuse on the body, and outsiders have no right to intervene too much. We have no choice but to take him to the hospital secretly, and it is diagnosed that he has moderate depression. In fact, he can develop to harm his body without any harm I feel like I'm not far from committing suicide..." Teacher Deng glanced at Yu Nian and said with a smile, "Don't feel bad, isn't he fine now?"

Yu Nian said sadly, "Then what happened afterwards? What happened?"

Teacher Deng continued: "There is no cure for this disease. After discussing with her mother, my friend decided to let him live in my house temporarily in the name of tutoring his homework and training him to go to the University of Science and Technology. My husband and I are both He is a special-grade teacher in the High School Attached to HKUST, so he is considered a legitimate title. His mother seemed to be happy to get rid of him after hearing this, and gave some meager living expenses and left him alone.

"My husband and I have no children. In fact, it is a kind of happiness for us to have Xiao Yang's company. I teach him to recite poetry every day and vent his inner emotions by reading aloud. He is very smart and has a good memory. He has read Most of the things I will never forget. Occasionally I will talk to him, not treating him as a child, but treating him as an adult like me, talking on an equal footing, maybe it is because of the long-term relationship that has built a sense of trust, and he slowly grasps Tell us about your past experiences.

"When he first came to Beijing, he missed his father very much, but every time he called back, his mother beat him and scolded him. He promised to write letters to his cousin, but her mother locked him in the storage room when she found out. , and insulted his aunt with very bad words. He was still young at that time, and he could not think objectively. Shrouded by this dark negative emotion, no one can confide in him, let alone enlighten him, that's why he became like that...

Yu Nian: "..."

"Fortunately, we found out in time, and then we often enlightened him, let him let go of the past, and make rational judgments, so his condition improved." Teacher Deng smiled and continued, "After high school, he was much more cheerful. A normal child is no different, but we know that this is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, his heart is very insecure. His past experience and his mother's indifference also make him yearn for family affection in his heart. Although we take care of him and care about him, we are only his. Teacher, I can't give him the affection of a family member..." Just as he was speaking, the boy that Teacher Deng saw looked like he was about to cry, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Nian shook his head, choked with sobs and said, "Teacher, in fact, I...is his cousin. Three years ago, I was admitted to Peking University and came to him specially, but he never recognized me after we met, and I blame him for it." I'm so angry that he didn't keep his promise..." Yu Nian burst into tears, and Teacher Deng frantically found a towel to wipe him, "After he came to Beijing more than ten years ago, his father, and my family, we all miss him very much. , but we have never heard from him. His mother took him away, and the phone number and address left were incorrect..." Yu Nian said incoherently while sobbing, "Before my uncle passed away, he was in the hospital bed all the time. Calling Brother by his nickname, but he didn’t even see him for the last time. If he knew what happened to Brother later, he would definitely not let his aunt take him away..."

Teacher Deng comforted softly: "Silly boy, it's all over, isn't it?"

Yu Nian nodded vigorously: "Last year I took my brother back to my hometown to visit my uncle's grave, and I also learned about the past from my mother. I can't tell who is right and who is wrong. I can only blame fate. It should affect the happiness of this generation... Now that he and I have recognized each other, we are fine, and I think we will never be separated again in our lifetime."

"Good boy, you're right." Teacher Deng also heard tears in his eyes, "Xiao Yang, boy, don't look at him usually careless, he seems very chic, in fact he is more sensitive than anyone else in his heart, and has a very low self-esteem and vulnerability. "

"Mr. Deng, thank you!" Yu Nian said in his heart, I will love him forever.

"Stupid boy, thank you for what I do? This is my profession!" Mr. Deng smiled, chatted with Yu Nian for a while, and arranged dinner enthusiastically, satisfying Yu Nian's yearning for porridge chicken rice cake soup ...

After returning home, Yu Nian called Yang Jiayue, crying and laughing on the phone, talking non-stop.

Yang Jiayue smiled and said, "I've been given ecstasy soup since I woke up, what's wrong, you are..."

Yu Nian: "I just want you to hear my voice, so that you don't forget me."

Yang Jiayue: "..." Oh, where did this kid learn such a clever way of flirting?

Yu Nian: "Can I ask you a question?"

Yang Jiayue: "Ask."

Yu Nian: "When did you recognize me?"

Yang Jiayue said softly: "Three years ago at Christmas, Xiao Long asked me to write a postcard for one of his brother's roommates. He said that there is a little guy who has been looking for his brother..."

Yu Nian: "..."

(Xiao Long, who is far away in City C: "Ah Choo!")

After the affectionate conversation with Yu Nian on the phone, Yang Jiayue lay on the bed and thought to himself: In fact, the first time I saw you as a grown-up at the Queen Bar attracted my attention...

Maybe there is really a force in the dark that guides us to meet and let me know how important you are to my life.
