Yesterday

On weekends, Xu Yanqing was extremely busy. Apart from playing and singing in the coffee shop at night, he also worked as a tutor during the day.At noon that day, when he came back from class, he saw a familiar car parked outside the alley.Qin Yu leaned against the wall outside Xu Yanqing's house, holding a bag of corn in his hand.

"I bought it at the junction." Before Xu Yanqing could speak, he handed over the corn and whispered, "It's quite sweet." He was afraid that it wouldn't taste good, so he tasted one by himself while Xu Yanqing was free.

The corn could smell a sweet and glutinous aroma through the bag, but Qin Yu's appearance at his door at this time still surprised Xu Yanqing.

"Why are you standing here? Have you been to my house?"

"No, I'll wait for you."

When Qin Yu first arrived, he happened to meet Xu Yanqing's neighbor and told him that Xu Yanqing had gone to class, so he waited outside.

Xu Yanqing suddenly remembered that there were several times in the past when Qin Yu was waiting for him downstairs in the dormitory, holding the snacks he bought from who didn't know where, and holding them up in front of him as if asking for credit.Now this appearance finally somewhat coincides with the boy in memory.

Xu Yanqing could roughly understand Qin Yu's "favor" for him in the past. Gao watched one of his performances, and later discovered more of his excellent sides.Young boys are simple-minded, and may feel envious and admiring compared to their excellent peers, and report to him joyfully what achievements they have made.Out of kindness, he also gave the other party a little care.

But now, regardless of family background, education or career, Qin Yu is much better than himself, and he no longer needs his affirmation or care.So when this junior appeared in front of him with the familiar clinginess, he didn't understand.

"And then?" Although he was puzzled, Xu Yanqing still maintained a calm smile.

"I forgot to leave your contact information last time," Qin Yu blushed slightly, "I came to ask you for it."

He was still not good at lying as before, if he wanted to know his contact information, he could just ask Liu Jiandong.Xu Yanqing didn't pierce his little thought.

"Come in first."

Shen Jialan's health is not good, she often stays in bed, and she is also resting in her own room at the moment.Qin Yu followed Xu Yanqing into the room and greeted her.

"Hello Auntie."

"A friend is here?" Shen Jialan stood up slightly.

"Mom, you can rest for a while, I will call you after dinner."

The two retreated to the living room, and Xu Yanqing asked Qin Yu again: "Are there any arrangements for noon? Otherwise, why don't you eat at my place?"

Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly.

When Xu Yanqing came back, he bought some vegetables at the market.Although the living conditions in the village in the city where he lives are far from those of high-end residential areas, there is nothing to say about the convenience. The market and all kinds of small shops are readily available, and the prices are still low. When you go out, there is a bus station, and you can go anywhere.

He put the things he bought on the kitchen counter, skillfully plated them, and sorted them into categories.Then Qin Yu who came in to help was stunned.

"Senior, do you know how to cook?" Hearing the words blurted out, Qin Yu wished he could slap himself.

"Well," Xu Yanqing didn't mind, "Now I don't have to be afraid of being laughed at by you."

I didn't make fun of you.Qin Yu's chest was clogged with unexplained strong emotions, and he was almost out of breath.

In the past, Xu Yanqing didn't touch Yangchun water with his fingers, and he didn't even know that stewed meat should be blanched first.

In the first semester of his freshman year, Qin Yu, like other students, signed up for the CET-[-] exam. He inadvertently told Xu Yanqing that his roommate played games at night. He didn't have a good rest, which affected his preparation for the exam.Xu Yanqing took him to an apartment off campus.Only then did he know that the senior had already rented a house outside the school.

"Senior, don't you live in the dormitory?" And their dormitories are very close to each other.

"Accommodating most of the time, I still come here occasionally before exams, quiet."

Although he knew that Xu Yanqing's family was good and he didn't take a house seriously, Qin Yu was really flattered that they gave him the place where he used to live to prepare for the exam.

"It's okay," Xu Yanqing said lightly, "Just let me sit around for a few meals."

Qin Yu's cooking skills are very good. It was the first time he came to Xu Yanqing's apartment and showed off his skills in the small kitchen.Xu Yanqing looked at it with interest: "I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking."

"Senior, don't you know?" Qin Yu's heart swelled with joy as Xu Yanqing looked at him with almost adoring eyes.

"No," he shook his head frankly, "my aunt does all the work at home."

But when it comes to studies, Qin Yu still deeply felt the gap between him and Xu Yanqing.

After eating, Xu Yanqing flipped through Qin Yu's practice papers: "You have done so many questions."

"Well," Qin Yu doesn't think he is a particularly talented person, but he believes that practice makes perfect, "Senior, how did you review last year?"

"Level [-]...it seems like I haven't reviewed much," Xu Yanqing shrugged, "What should I do?"

"Then how many points did you get?"

"685."

Qin Yu fell silent.The full score for Level 710 is 600. Even if he thinks he is fully prepared, he is not sure whether he can get 685. However, Senior Xu scored [-] in the naked test.Xu Yanqing is probably that kind of all-round genius, no matter whether it is academics, literature or sports, he has no shortcomings.

"Don't worry," Xu Yanqing thought he was under pressure, "It's easy for students from S University to get 600."

Qin Yu lived there for two days.There was only one bedroom in the apartment, Xu Yanqing only went for a few meals as he said, and did not stay at night.The third day was a Friday, when Qin Yu was about to go to sleep, he suddenly heard the door open.

"Fuck, those guys in the dormitory are crazy, I'm going to sleep here today." Xu Yanqing yelled to Qin Yu as soon as he came in.

"Good senior, then I... I'll go back right away!" After all, it was Xu Yanqing's house, and Qin Yu thought that since he wanted to live in it, he couldn't rely on it any longer.

"What are you going back for?" Xu Yanqing grabbed him by the collar, "The dormitory is closed at this point, so you sleep on the street?"

Qin Yu looked at the only double bed in the bedroom, and looked puzzled: "Then I sleep on the sofa in the living room?"

"You still dislike sleeping in the same bed with me?" Xu Yanqing's tone was not very happy.

"No, no, no! Senior, you—" Qin Yu choked heavily, "You want to sleep with me?"

"Pfft—you're so funny." Seeing his expression, Xu Yanqing roughly guessed his thoughts, "You're a big boy, can I still take advantage of you?"

That's not the reason... Qin Yu's thoughts have not been sorted out yet, Xu Yanqing has already yawned and went to bed.

"Go to sleep too, I'm so sleepy." As if to confirm what he said, Xu Yanqing fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Qin Yu sat on the bedside, and that was the only time he saw Xu Yanqing's sleeping face - the moonlight outlined a thin face and a handsome face.After he fell asleep, he completely lost the arrogance of the day.Qin Yu's drowsiness was swept away, and he kept his eyes open until the middle of the night.It seems that we should move back to the dormitory.

When Qin Yu left, Xu Yanqing half-jokingly said, "Come here to cook for me later?"

Qin Yu nodded vigorously.

But he never went to that apartment again.

Qin Yu's "Senior" seemed to bring them back to the past in an instant, and invisibly resolved the embarrassment of the first two meetings.It's just that this name sounds a bit awkward now.

"We're not in school anymore, so don't call me senior." Xu Yanqing put the cut ribs into the pot and soaked in water, "Do you want to call me Xu Yanqing... or Yanqing?"

"I—" Qin Yu had a bitter face, but Xu Yanqing didn't force him.

The two of them prepared lunch and cooked four dishes and one soup. If Qin Yu wasn't around, Xu Yanqing wouldn't have cooked so much.Shen Jialan fell asleep, Xu Yanqing saved his mother's share, and sat at the dining table with Qin Yu to eat.

The new air conditioner was whirring white noise.Xu Yanqing originally wanted to install the air conditioner in his mother's room, but Shen Jialan said that the three rooms are not big, and the living room will be used more frequently, and it is not easy to get cold from direct blowing, so they finally installed it in the living room.The whole home is much more comfortable, especially when eating is cooler.

Xu Yanqing's movements were quick, and he was no longer the senior who ate slowly in Qin Yu's memory.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Qin Yu staring at him with piercing eyes, Xu Yanqing asked.

Qin Yu lowered his head in embarrassment.

Xu Yanqing guessed it: "I eat much faster now, don't I?"

"Eat slowly, it's not good for your stomach." Qin Yu said with concern.

"I'm used to it. When I was the busiest in the past few years, I got a box lunch in three to five minutes."

Sometimes, on a hot day, I was so thirsty that I drank cold water from the faucet, and after slapping the cold water on my face, I took off the T-shirt and wiped it... Who can connect him with the elegant and well-behaved rich young man in the past?

Xu Yanqing held a piece of ribs for Qin Yu and himself, and said as if to comfort him: "At first I didn't quite adapt, but that's just because I haven't experienced this kind of life."

"Actually, in this world, there are many people who are worse off than me. If you sympathize with me—"

"I don't sympathize with you." Qin Yu quickly interrupted him.

"Why is that?"

Why did it appear in front of me again.

Qin Yu clenched his empty hand into a fist, how could someone like Xu Yanqing need sympathy from others?I couldn't explain what kind of mentality he had for him, or I didn't want to think deeply.

Xu Yanqing smiled gently, and stopped asking questions, and the two continued to eat peacefully.

"Xu—" Qin Yu had thought of the name and complained in his heart, but he couldn't really say it out, "Do you still have class in the afternoon?"

"Well, let's see my mother finish eating later, and I'm going to leave after I get ready."

"I'll see you off." Like that night, he used an affirmative tone.

"You have nothing to do on weekends?" Xu Yanqing sighed slightly, "Don't you need to accompany your girlfriend?"

"Where did I get a girlfriend?" Qin Yu stared at him suspiciously.

Have you misunderstood?Xu Yanqing thought of the girl from last weekend, and now that this topic was mentioned, he wanted to clarify it.

He considered for a moment and said, "Last Sunday... did you go to the South Mall with a girl?"

Last Sunday?Qin Yu understood: "So you are here?"

"Well, I happened to see you."

"She was my playmate when I was young, and we are ordinary friends." Qin Yu briefly talked about the blind date.

"I see," Xu Yanqing suddenly realized, "but she should like you, right?"

"Huh?" Qin Yu was puzzled: "She doesn't want to fall in love either."

"Does that girl have many friends?" Xu Yanqing asked again.

"A lot, she's quite lively." No matter when I was a child or now, when I was with Liao Jing, I was always the passive side.

"She has a lot of friends, but she just let you accompany her, which means that you are special in her heart. You don't want to start a relationship, maybe—" Xu Yanqing paused, "I also guess, she wants you to take off the burden. Said."

"So complicated?"

"The girl likes you, but you don't want to be nice to her. If she pursues you too high-profilely, she will only scare you away." Qin Yu is extremely slow in emotion, but Xu Yanqing sees it clearly. .

"Really..." Qin Yu was not happy because he might be liked by a beautiful girl, but fell into distress, "Then I will explain it to her next time."

"You, you're so incomprehensible," Xu Yanqing couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't you want to try dating?"

Qin Yu lowered his eyelids: "Do you want to?"

Xu Yanqing in his student days was the one who was admired by all the girls.

"Tell me what I'm doing." A rare blush appeared on Xu Yanqing's face.

In the end, this topic was left alone.
