No.70 days

The two sat down in the food street outside the school. The grilled fish shop was open-air, and they put up umbrellas when it rained.As soon as he ordered food, Yang Shuyi received a call. It sounded like he was here to inquire about how to apply for a card, and he kept asking questions endlessly.Shao Wu unpacked the tableware of the two, asked the boss for a pot of boiling water to rinse, and then poured water for himself and Yang Shuyi.After all this was done, Yang Shuyi was still on the phone, as if he was talking about pulling the network cable again.

Shao Wu had no choice but to wait for him with his chin propped up, and also for the waiter to serve the food.The raindrops were dripping on the parasol, and the sound was delicate and sweet.It was nearly eight o'clock at this time, and Shao Wu looked at Yang Shuyi from time to time, only to see that he was frowning almost imperceptibly, with a focused expression, without showing the slightest impatience.

"Okay, no problem...Is it 402? Um, um...I'll be here before nine o'clock, okay."

Yang Shuyi's voice was low, not fast, but focused and gentle.

Finally, before the second plate of cold dishes was served, Yang Shuyi hung up the phone.

Shao Wu heard him let out a sigh of relief.

"Business is so good?" Shao Wu asked with a smile.

"Recently, there are a lot of network cables," Yang Shuyi said while chewing while picking up a chopstick, "I have to go to their dormitory to get it. It's a bit troublesome."

"Oh—you still pull the network cable?"

"I just learned it some time ago," Yang Shuyi smiled, "The commission for pulling the network cable is higher than getting a card."

"Oh……"

"I'm going to go to their dormitory to fix it later. Are you in a hurry to go back? If you're not in a hurry, I'll fix it for them first, and if you're in a hurry, I'll fix it for you first."

"What am I in a hurry for?" Shao Wu shook his head, "You should take care of them first."

In fact, Shao Wu was even a little happy, because it meant that he could stay with Yang Shuyi for a while longer.

A large grass carp was brought up, split in half, grilled flat and crispy, the fish skin was oily and soaked in thick garlic.

Yang Shuyi: "Are you busy recently?"

"It's okay, our major, you know it too," Shao Wu lightly bit off a piece of fish, it was a little hot, "I can't teach much in class, I mainly learn by myself."

"Didn't you also minor in geography?"

"Well... I just remembered when you said it," Shao Wu stared down at the scorched skin of the fish, "Plant geography, have you ever taken it?"

"Go up."

"The teacher asked us to collect specimens, which is very troublesome. Some plants are not available in our school... Maybe I have to come to your school to look for them."

"Well, indeed," Yang Shuyi said casually, "If it's not possible, you can go to Jinyun Mountain to see it."

Shao Wu licked his lips, feeling that the grilled fish was unexpectedly salty.

"I guess, maybe after the vacation, I'll start looking." He knew he was going to lie, "Come and see when the time comes, are you free?"

Without waiting for Yang Shuyi's answer, he quickly added: "I'm afraid I won't be able to find it, and your school is too big... If you don't have time, it doesn't matter..."

Every time, Shao Wu always had a reason to go from Shapingba to Beibei to meet Yang Shuyi.So much so that he was almost used to this guilty feeling.

Anyway, Yang Shuyi didn't know anything, and couldn't feel anything.

"Let's see when the time comes." Sure enough, Yang Shuyi responded in such a casual manner, "I will take you to find it if I have time."

"Well, good," Shao Wu frowned at him, "Thank you."

Yang Shuyi shook his head, meaning "you're welcome".

In this way, the next meeting is almost finalized—Shao ​​Wu is already familiar with the way, and if he wants to meet Yang Shuyi, it is best to choose Friday, because the school has fewer classes on Friday, and most of the students have gone out to play, so go find Yang Shuyi There are fewer people who apply for card packages.Weekends are definitely not acceptable, Yang Shuyi has to go to the computer city to work part-time.Shao Wu even thought about it, if Yang Shuyi has something to do then, he will come back next time, anyway, the reason of "looking for specimens" can be used two or three times.

Sometimes Shao Wu felt that he was very smart, and if he minored in geography, he would have a lot of reasons to meet and chat with Yang Shuyi.Of course, most of the time, Shao Wu also knew that he was stupid.

After dinner, Shao Wu and Yang Shuyi first went to China Mobile's outlet to get the network cable, and then followed him to the girls' dormitory.The rain was still falling, Yang Shuyi was carrying the network cable in one hand and the toolbox in the other, and Shao Wu held an umbrella for him beside him.There are many trees in Southwest University, and there are many shades. The street lamps seem to be blurred by the drizzle, emitting a faint light.Shao Wu couldn't help thinking, if Yang Shuyi went alone to install the network cable in the dormitory, and it was raining—it often rains in Chongqing—would he have to walk in the rain?

"Shao Wu," Yang Shuyi said suddenly, "the umbrella is crooked."

"Ah?" Shao Wu came back to his senses, and quickly tilted the umbrella a little towards Yang Shuyi, thinking that the network cable that Yang Shuyi was carrying hadn't been flooded, right?

"I mean, you got soaked."

"Uh, it's okay... Be careful of water getting into the network cable."

"Wrapped in plastic film," Yang Shuyi seemed to smile, Shao Wu could not see his expression in the dark shade of trees, "That's all right."

Yang Shuyi raised his hand carrying the toolbox, and put his arm around Shao Wu's shoulder.

Shao Wu's muscles tensed instantly, and at the same time he cursed himself for being useless.

Not the first time.

Yang Shuyi's wrist rested on Shao Wu's shoulder, and the toolbox hung on the outside of Shao Wu's shoulder, with the corners gently touching Shao Wu.The bodies of the two got closer, and Shao Wu felt the warmth from Yang Shuyi's body.

"Yang Shuyi, you," Shao Wu asked consciously and calmly, "What are you going to do on May Day?"

"go home."

"Go home?" It's strange, Yang Shuyi wants to go home, he doesn't work part-time anymore?

"Longlong is going to hold a parent-teacher meeting... Last time, my mother-in-law went. She couldn't understand what the teacher told her. I have to go this time."

"Oh."

"What about you?" Yang Shuyi's breath brushed against Shao Wu's temple, almost as if his lips were touching Shao Wu's ear.

Shao Wu didn't want to go home. Ever since he received the admission letter from Chongqing University two years ago, his parents always looked at him with frowns.Shao Wu knows they love him, but they are also genuinely disappointed in him, and these two things don't conflict.So Shao Wu likes to stay in school, which can be regarded as a kind of escape.

"I..." But Yang Shuyi wanted to go home. If Shao Wu came back with him, then they could go to the passenger station together and take the bus back to Yongchuan. In other words, Shao Wu could stay with Yang Shuyi for most of the day.On the way, there is no need to do anything, just the two of them, for most of the day.

"I guess I have to go back too." Shao Wu replied softly.

"Okay, let's go together then."

"Ah."
