How much will you sell it to me?

Chapter 21

214.

The new environment and the new people in the university made me feel strange, and it took me a long time to adapt here.

Occasionally, I would think, if I had chosen a university in this city and became An Yang's junior...

That's really a cocoon.

I always think of An Yang when I am free, so I had no choice but to keep myself busy and struggle in an unfamiliar environment. After a month of this, An Yang's figure finally faded from my mind.

I don't remember what it was like for him to drink, but after thinking about it, An Yang seldom drank in front of me, he was always afraid of spoiling me.

Since I came to Q City, An Yang would send me good morning and good night every day. I once asked him jokingly: [Are you emphasizing your own sense of existence? ]

An Yang quickly replied: [I'm afraid you will forget me. ]

He rarely talks to me in such a serious manner, and I don't know how to reply.

215.

I made new friends at a new school, and just when I thought I could forget someone in this full and busy life, that person appeared.

It was raining that day, the rain was not very heavy, and we didn't even need an umbrella.

My roommate and I were about to go out for dinner, when we left the school gate, we saw An Yang standing at the gate with his hair dripping from the rain.

"You guys go eat first, I have something to do." After talking to my roommate, I turned and walked towards An Yang.

"Why are you here?" Seeing his clothes clinging to his body, I couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you go in and find me now? How long have you been standing here like this?"

"I just don't have class today, so I just wanted to come and see you." An Yang lowered his head, "I didn't wait long..."

"Fart." I was a little anxious.

An Yang smiled: "How long have you not seen each other, why have you become so vulgar?"

Today's rain is not heavy at all, but it has been falling from morning to noon.

We stood in the rain like two big fools.

216.

I took An Yang to our dormitory, gave him a dry towel and asked him to wipe his hair clean.

An Yang seemed in a bad mood, I asked him what's the matter, but he didn't speak.

"Is the school still used?" He had already asked something like this when I first arrived at the school.

"Ah."

An Yang looked out the window, "I saw it just now, you and your roommate have a very good relationship."

"Ah."

An Yang stood up and stretched, smiled and said to me: "Okay, I don't have anything to do today and I want to see you. Seeing that you are doing well, brother, I am relieved."

I can't understand An Yang's forced smile, "I don't have a brother like you."

"What are you talking about, your brother and I are so good, how many people are holding lanterns..."

"Why do you have to stand in the rain for so long?"

217.

An Yang didn't answer my question, but just said that he should go back.

When I came out of the dormitory, I realized that I didn't have an umbrella. I took a deep breath and stepped into the rain curtain with An Yang.

An Yang took off the coat and covered my head. I wanted to take off the coat but An Yang held my head down.

"Let's go. I've been drenched for so long. It's not too late. If you catch a cold, you will rely on me again."

So why stand outside the school gate in the rain?You don't even have the courage to step in the door, why do you have to travel for hours to come and see me?

The road from the dormitory to the school gate has become extremely long, and I always keep my head down.

"I'll put the clothes here with you first, remember to wash them for me, and don't forget to bring them back from the holiday."

An Yang let go of his hand, and I finally had a chance to tear his coat off me.

An Yang felt a little helpless: "Didn't you tell me that you would catch a cold..."

218.

I thought I was the one who lost control, but An Yang hugged me tightly after saying this.

Passers-by walking in the rain cast a quick glance at us and continued on their way. I suddenly had the illusion that there were only the two of us left in the world.

"Qiao Xi." An Yang's voice sounded in my ear, "Say you won't forget me."

"An Yang?"

"Say you won't forget me."

"I...I won't forget you."

How could I forget you, I like you.

219.

I forgot how I got back to the dormitory, and I lay on the bed until I realized that I didn't have lunch until I heard protests from my stomach.

I made instant noodles, picked up my phone, An Yang sent me a text message half an hour ago, reminding me to eat, I just saw it now.

I suddenly remembered the time when An Yang was in college, even though he could take a taxi to our school in this city, I was still worried that he would meet a beautiful or cute girl at a time I don't know. friend.I have no right to intervene in his life, so I can only live in fear.

And now I'm desperately trying to escape from the city where An Yang is, it's impossible for An Yang not to notice, he knows I'm avoiding him.

Because I have experienced it before, I understand An Yang's forbearance and anxiety.

His brother had grown up without him knowing, and it was understandable that he would be afraid of being overwhelmed.

I stared at my phone and wept for some reason.

Because the other party doesn't like me, I want to escape, completely disregarding other people's feelings.

I think I may be a very excessive person.

220.

After that, the relationship between An Yang and I was back to normal, and we both tacitly forgot what happened on that rainy day.

We chatted and joked with each other on WeChat as before.When I came home from a long vacation, he came to pick me up at the station, pinched my face and asked me why I lost weight again.

"Don't you think I'm handsome?"

An Yang shook her head: "No."

I stepped on An Yang's foot, "What now?"

"...much handsomer!"

221.

"Congratulations to the male and female guests for successfully holding hands?"

On the fourth day of the long vacation, I came to the coffee shop early to wait for Mu Jing.

Mu Jing was lucky. Not only was he half an hour late, but he also brought Mu Le here—literally.

Mu Le seemed a little embarrassed to ask his brother to let go, and Mu Jing smiled and raised the hand they were holding and shook it, as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

The two of them were not together, but from what Mu Jing said on WeChat, Mu Le had probably sensed his intentions.

[It seems that on the day An Yang and you sent me home, I drank a little too much and slipped my mouth. ]

It's amazing.

He was so cautious and humble when he was secretly in love, but now that the other party knows his thoughts, he has started to be presumptuous instead.

Mu Jing said: "I don't know what else to be afraid of. The worst situation is nothing more than this." ]

222.

We chatted for a while, and Mu Jing sat on the sofa, clasping Mu Le all the time, "Jiang Hanlin—the head teacher of Anyang High School, you know? The teacher who has a good relationship with Anyang."

"Well, he also taught me math when I was in high school."

Mu Jing laughed: "Coincidentally."

Mueller interjected: "I also know Teacher Jiang..."

Mu Jing smiled and made a "shh" gesture with Mu Le, then turned around and said to me, "I know something recently."

"Jiang Hanlin is gay."

223.

"Jiang Hanlin is gay. He has a same-sex partner who has been dating for seven or eight years. It seems to be from An Yang's school. You can find out about this in the circle. The relationship between the two seems to be very good... No, An Yang Rejecting homosexuality, then why is he so resistant to you having a boyfriend? Double standards? Or...he likes you?"

On the way home, I remembered the summer vacation in the first year of high school. An Yang and I ran into Jiang Hanlin at the swimming pool.An Yang also told me later that the "little friend" Jiang Hanlin said was already in his sophomore year, one grade higher than him.

All these things are connected in a series of twists and turns, and I have no clue.

"Why did you tell me this?" I asked Mu Jing in the coffee shop.

"How should I put it, I always feel that this matter is complicated by my intervention. Maybe An Yang likes you?" Mu Jing slowly let go of Mu Le's hand, "You are not me."

224.

When I got home, I found An Yang sitting in the living room. I turned around and looked at the entrance—it was my house.

"How did you come?"

"You're leaving tomorrow. I think it's the last night to have a tender relationship with you."

My heart skipped a beat, "Are you serious?"

An Yang threw almonds into her mouth: "You're just kidding, Uncle Qiao asked me to have dinner here."

I remove the plate of almonds in front of him.

Anyang raised his head.

I smiled on the surface: "Save your stomach for dinner, eating too much dried fruit is not good for digestion."

"Josh, you were not like this before."

"What about me?" I stuffed almonds into my mouth expressionlessly.

An Yang's expression was tangled, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a suitable way to say it.

225.

In fact, what An Yang said is correct, I did change a lot after I went to university.

In the past, when I faced An Yang, I was always afraid that he would preach to me, but now when I face An Yang, I am not only not afraid, but I will reply with a word or two.

"People grow up." I said quietly, and walked into the kitchen with almonds.

An Yang made a shooting gesture behind me, "It's not a good baby to grow up behind my back."

I casually asked, "Then what else do you want?"

An Yang was clearly smiling, but his eyes drooped, "At least grow up where I can see, so I can feel at ease."

"An Yang."

"Ok?"

"I'm nineteen."

"...Yeah." An Yang nodded slightly, "I know."

226.

As a result, Qiao Qingguo got drunk during dinner, "An Yang will live here today, I work the night shift, so I don't worry if you two are together."

"Dad, I'm nineteen."

Qiao Qingguo ignored me, "An Yang, Uncle is talking to you, okay?"

"I'm nineteen..."

An Yang: "OK."

I:"……"

Qiao Qingguo picked up the wine glass and said to An Yang, "Come on, let's go together."
