BBQ by the sea and watch the sunrise.Zhuang Yao found himself on the far left side of the photo - he was much thinner then than now, and he grew tall when he was a teenager. He couldn't keep up with nutrition, so he looked a little weak.In addition, he is not willing to get in touch with others. He habitually lowers his head when taking pictures, and dare not even look at the camera. He always plays the role of those background boards in class activities.

Zhuang Yao couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.In the past seven years, his changes have not only been vastly different?

However, that person is different.

Zhuang Yao's eyes moved to the boy in the middle of the photo.He was tall and thin, with handsome features, standing in the middle of the crowd, looking at the screen with a smile on his face, like a luminous and extremely dazzling asteroid.

"Zhou Yi." Zhuang Yao whispered his name.

He lied again.

He told Fu Xueru that he wanted to work in a game company when he returned to China.But only he himself understands that this is a complete lie.

The purpose of Zhuang Yao's return to China is nothing more than to see Zhou Yi again.

Even though the chance of meeting was too slim, he still wanted to give it a try.

03

The next day, Zhuang Yao didn't mention the matter of returning to China. Fu Xueru originally thought that if he continued to insist, she must have a calm talk with him.But Zhuang Yao didn't mention it, so Fu Xueru would definitely not ask for trouble.On the weekend, Fu Xueru took Zhuang Yao to visit a friend's gallery, and then drove to the farm for a while, hoping to distract Zhuang Yao.

A few days later, Fu Xueru almost forgot about this matter.As a result, one day after dinner, Zhuang Yao suddenly took out a piece of paper from his pocket, sat down in front of Fu Xueru, cleared his throat quite seriously, and said to her: "Mom, my solution has come out, now Read it to you."

Fu Xueru: "?"

Zhuang Yao was very serious, and said seriously: "I submitted my resume the day before yesterday, and the HR in charge of the other party has already replied to me. She said that I am very welcome to go for an interview, and gave me the address and phone number... Regarding the position, considering my major, I I want to work on the original painting of games, so far it seems that my major is quite suitable... Next is my advantage..."

Zhuang Yao said a lot, not only perfectly responded to Fu Xueru's previous questions, but also added many other things that he hadn't considered.For example, accommodation, career planning for the next few years, how often to come back to see Fu Xueru, etc.

Fu Xueru opened her mouth and said nothing for a long time: "Zhuang Yao, you are really...do you want to make a PPT report by the way, huh?"

Zhuang Yao turned pale with shock. He didn't expect Fu Xueru to be so strict. He thought it was bad, and he staggered and replied: "Ah? I still want to do PPT? Then I...then I..."

He wanted to say that I will do it now, mother, wait a moment, but he caught a glimpse of Fu Xueru holding his chin with one hand, looking at him with a half-smile.

Zhuang Yao said: "Mom, you are teasing me."

Fu Xueru said: "Otherwise? Are you really going to do it? You are just a little fool. When will you let me rest assured?"

Zhuang Yao protested: "...I'm not stupid."

Fu Xueru stood up, flicked his forehead casually, and sighed: "Not stupid? I think he is so stupid."

Those questions were originally just said by her casually, the purpose was to dispel Zhuang Yao's enthusiasm for returning to China.She originally thought that Zhuang Yao had given up, but who would have thought that he planned so much secretly, and it was clear and well-founded, and she really couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.If he forcibly refused to let him go, it would appear that Fu Xueru was unreasonable.

"You have to make an agreement with me for three chapters." Fu Xueru patted Zhuang Yao's head, and finally let go.

She was still worried about Zhuang Yao.If he must return to China, Fu Xueru must find someone in China to help take care of him.

Zhuang Yao's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Really?! You agreed? Thank you, Mom!"

Fu Xueru laughed and said, "Don't be too happy! I have to find someone to watch you!"

Zhuang Yao's ticket was bought on August [-]st.

On the plane, Zhuang Yao put away his carry-on luggage and fastened his seat belt, unable to hold back his excitement.He looked at the snow-white clouds, and finally realized that all this happened for real, not his imagination.Zhuang Yao was so happy that he didn't even realize that seven years had passed, did Zhou Yi want to see him?

The journey of more than 20 hours was too long. After getting off the plane, Zhuang Yao immediately reported Fu Xueru's safety.

On the other side, Fu Xueru's hanging heart finally fell, and she asked, "Did you see Xu Ze? Your aunt Chang said he was here to pick you up."

Chang Yuan is Fu Xueru's good friend in China. Before Zhuang Yao came back, Fu Xueru asked her to help take care of Zhuang Yao—that is, the person in charge of "watching" Zhuang Yao.Xu Ze is Chang Yuan's son, two years younger than Zhuang Yao.Because the airport is far away from the city, Chang Yuan asked Xu Ze to drive over to pick up Zhuang Yao.

"No." Zhuang Yao looked around, but found no one, "Mom, don't worry, there may be a traffic jam on the road."

Fu Xueru said: "Live at your Aunt Chang's house first, and then look for a house when the job is stable."

Zhuang Yao said obediently, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Yao was not in a hurry.His laptop ran out of battery, so Zhuang Yao bought a novel by Agatha at the bookstore inside the airport, and then quietly found a place to sit down.He is very absorbed in reading and can read with relish even in a noisy environment.Two hours later, there was still one third of the novel's storyline left, and Xu Ze hadn't come yet.Zhuang Yao closed the book and began to feel a little anxious.not coming?Or something temporary?

Zhuang Yao couldn't figure it out.He did have the address of Chang Yuan's house in his hand, but if he went there on his own, he was afraid that Xu Ze would miss it.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Yao decided to take the initiative to call Xu Ze.

Tried a few times, but the call is busy over there.

The third time, the phone finally got through.

"Hello, I'm Zhuang Yao." Zhuang Yao said nervously, "Are you Xu Ze?"

The other end of the phone sounded messy, and a young man's voice rang out: "...what the hell?"

Zhuang Yao knew that he was drinking when he heard it, no wonder he didn't come after waiting for so long.He repeated it patiently: "Are you Xu Ze?"

"Xu Ze? Yes, I am, I am Xu Ze... who are you?"

Zhuang Yao couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "I'm Zhuang Yao, Aunt Chang asked you to pick me up at the airport today, do you remember?"

"Who is Aunt Chang!" There was a sudden roar, which startled Zhuang Yao.

"Chang Yuan, your mother!" Zhuang Yao also said loudly.

The other side was quiet for a while, and a clear "I'm fuck" came, and the person became more sober: "Zhuang Yao...Zhuang Yao! I remember you! Where are you now?"

Zhuang Yao said, "I'm still at the airport."

"Well, the airport... wait, I'll pick you up right away." There was a crackling sound over there, and the wine bottle fell to the ground.

Zhuang Yao hurriedly said: "Hey, don't! I'll take a taxi and go by myself. You've already drunk like this. You can't drink and drive."

Xu Ze said: "Don't drink and drive, I'll call a replacement driver, I have to complete the tasks my mother entrusted to me. Um, er, er, please wait a little longer, I'm sorry."

Zhuang Yao still wanted to say something, but Xu Ze had already hung up.

Zhuang Yao sighed and had no choice but to continue to wait.

After another half an hour, Xu Ze finally came.

Zhuang Yao only took one look, and felt that Xu Ze was... very flamboyant.He was wearing a black T-shirt and washed blue ripped jeans with two large holes at the knees.When he got closer, Zhuang Yao also saw that he was wearing five or six earrings on each ear.

Xu Ze stopped in the hall, and started calling Zhuang Yao's name, and shouted very loudly: "Zhuang Yao! Zhuang Yao!"

Passing by an elderly group, the grandparents were almost scared to death by his voice.

Zhuang Yao wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in. He dragged his suitcase and hurried to Xu Ze, saying, "Xu Ze, Xu Ze, I'm here, stop shouting."

"Oh." Xu Ze smiled at him, speaking with a hint of alcohol, "Hello, you are Zhuang Yao. Hey, I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It's okay." Zhuang Yao also smiled.

Xu Ze snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, let's go, the car is outside, and we can still make time for dinner."

Zhuang Yao followed Xu Ze into the car, Xu Ze helped him put his things away, and sat in the driver's seat very naturally.

"Wait." Zhuang Yao said suspiciously.

Xu Ze: "What?"

Zhuang Yao said: "Are you driving? What about the substitute driver?"

Xu Ze said: "No need to drive, I will drive myself."

Zhuang Yao said seriously: "Yes, but you are driving under the influence of alcohol... You were fooling me just now?"

Only then did Xu Ze remember what he said on the phone before. If it was someone else, he could have fooled it, but firstly, this was the first meeting with Zhuang Yao, and secondly, he was afraid that Zhuang Yao would go to court later. Chang Yuan complained.

Xu Zeman said nonchalantly: "No, I'm actually very sober...Okay, okay, I won't open, how about you come?"

Zhuang Yao thought for a while, then whispered, "Yes."

So the two tossed about again, and Zhuang Yao sat in the driver's seat.

Xu Ze joked: "Hey, why are you so serious, are you really from America?"

Zhuang Yao thought his way of speaking was amusing, and asked softly, "What does America look like to you?"

"Of course it is." Xu Ze gestured in the air, "Yo yo checker, here's a set of pancakes and fruits. All kinds of parties, pop music, rebellious boys..."

Well, this is a big misunderstanding.

"The seat belt is fastened." Just as Zhuang Yao finished speaking, he slammed on the gas pedal.Because of inertia, Xu Ze straightened
