Chapter 21

That night, Ren Yang still didn't tell Li Shangshui that he wasn't going back. The next day, he took Liu Zimo and Xie Lingyun around City Z. They took the train back to school in the afternoon, and then he and Xu Ruxin walked back to school slowly.

Thinking of the winter vacation, Xu Ruxin asked: "You guys finished the exam before us, will you go back after the exam or wait for me?"

With his hands in his pockets and a mask on, Ren Yang said vaguely, "What are you waiting for? You cheated me so badly last night."

Xu Ruxin ignored it, and asked straightforwardly: "Is there something on your mind? Did you quarrel with Li Shangshui? Don't blame me for thinking wildly, I just think there is something between you two."

Ren Yang's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he was so obvious?But of course he couldn't admit it: "No, what can we do."

Xu Ruxin stopped, Ren Yang saw that she was not moving, so he stopped too.I just heard Xu Ruxin say slowly: "Well, it seems that something is really wrong. You can tell me when you can't bear it. After all, we have known each other for so many years. Don't I know your virtues?"

Ren Yang gave a noncommittal "hmm", but his heart was really warm.He is indeed a little uncomfortable these days, but if he can digest the pain caused by this ridiculous unrequited love, there is no need to add trouble to Xu Ruxin; and if... If he is lucky enough to be with Li Shangshui, then give it to his friend It's not too late to share happiness.

But now, it has not reached the level of talking to people.But this concern, he will always remember.

Xu Ruxin stretched out his arms and patted Ren Yang's shoulder very solemnly, and sighed old-fashionedly: "I'll go back first, and there are still many questions I haven't read. I will make an appointment when I have time."

Ren Yang: "Well, see you during the winter vacation."

Ren Yang felt very tired and didn't want to go to the library to review, so he went back to the dormitory.It stands to reason that there should be no one in the dormitory, but when he returned, he found Li Shangshui reading in the dormitory.

I haven't seen him for nearly two days. The moment he saw Li Shangshui, Ren Yang suddenly felt that he missed him very much—the body that had felt weak just now seemed to be alive again, and a smile appeared on his face in an instant, and his mood was much better.

Ren Yang habitually called him: "Ah Shui, why are you in the dormitory?"

Li Shangshui received a call from Su Yue at noon, and Su Yue asked him to go to the Burton Western Restaurant upstairs in the South Garden at six o'clock in the evening.When he heard that it was a western restaurant, he immediately felt uncomfortable.Nan Yuan was tall enough for him. He had only seen the so-called western restaurant on TV, so he didn't know the corresponding etiquette at all.

So Li Shangshui lost the thought of reviewing, and returned to the dormitory from the library with his schoolbag on his back - he wanted to check all kinds of things about eating in the western restaurant, so as not to embarrass himself in front of others.But when he returned to the dormitory, he suddenly felt relieved. He was originally a countryman, so why pretend to be lofty, let alone who hasn't had the first time?

However, basic etiquette still needs to be understood, such as which hand holds the knife and which hand holds the fork.After checking, I felt bored again. It was too quiet without Ren Yang around, so I had to pick up the book I didn't finish last night and continue reading.

He heard someone open the door, but he thought it was Niu Junzi and the others coming back, so he didn't care.When Ren Yang's voice sounded, he panicked, closed the book, and looked at Ren Yang blankly.

Ren Yang walked over with a smile. The two beds were next to each other. When he passed by, he saw the cover of Li Shangshui's closed book - "Notes of a Desolate Man", which he had never heard of.

Ren Yang: "I thought you were studying, so you were reading idle books?"

Li Shangshui looked at Ren Yang's smile and heard his normal tone of voice. He just felt that the boredom of the past few days was swept away, and the little disappointment before going to bed last night was also forgotten, and his heart was full of desire. happy.He looked at Ren Yang with a smile, dimples looming on his lips.

Ren Yang's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know what was wrong with Li Shangshui, seeing him smiling so happily almost made him think that Li Shangshui had also taken a fancy to him.He put down his schoolbag, pulled out his chair and sat down facing Li Shangshui: "What are you looking at? Don't speak."

Li Shangshui picked up the book he was trying to hide just now with a little forgetfulness, and said, "A novel, with some stream of consciousness."

Ren Yang picked it up, flipped through it, but couldn't find anything interesting, and didn't delve into it. He knew that the person in front of him always liked to watch things that ordinary people didn't like to watch.After a pause, I started the conversation: "Two of my high school friends came to play yesterday, so I didn't come back. It was too late and I forgot to tell you."

"Well, it's okay." The sudden happiness receded, and Li Shangshui regained his composure, and felt uncomfortable facing Ren Yang again.Ren Yang didn't care, and asked him: "Why are you reading idle books in the dormitory at this time? Don't you go to the library to review?"

"Someone invited me to dinner, and I'll leave later." As if he suddenly found a topic, Li Shangshui answered without asking, and explained the cause and effect: "Do you think I should buy some gifts for the children?"

Ren Yang was stunned when he heard that, and he didn't expect that there are still people who know how to repay their kindness, let alone that there are still people who dare to abduct children in broad daylight.Hearing Li Shangshui's question, he knew that it must be the first time for him to eat in that kind of place with a stranger, so he felt unavoidably apprehensive, so he smiled and said, "Why don't I have the audacity to go eat with you?"

Li Shangshui was taken aback for a moment, feeling bad in his heart, but he didn't say it out.Ren Yang knew what he was thinking by looking at his face, thinking that Ah Shui had finally returned.Desperately suppressing the hand that wanted to rub his hair, he said seriously: "Just kidding, I'm not that thick-skinned yet. But don't worry, according to what you said, the other person should be very nice, and you don't need to bring any gifts , lest people have to return your favors in the future. As you usually do, you will do so later, and you don't need to change your behavior for the sake of strangers."

Li Shangshui nodded gratefully. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't be as considerate as Ren Yang. Meeting Ren Yang was the greatest luck in his life.

As for Ren Yang's thoughts on him, it doesn't seem that important now.As long as Ren Yang is still there, it is enough.He stuffed the novel into the bookcase, took out his notebook, and handed it to Ren Yang: "Before you said that the civil law is difficult, this is my note, you can take it and read it first, and you can ask me if you don't understand it. I hope you can read it next year get a scholarship."

This is the only way for him to express his gratitude and importance - he doesn't know anything, he can only learn. If his learning results can help Ren Yang even a little bit, he will feel satisfied and gratified.

Ren Yang was quite dumbfounded by his move, Xueba went straight to the point, it was really unbearable for ordinary people, he took the notebook as if flattered, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's great to have a Xueba at the same table, I can get a scholarship, You can still take a scumbag like me, thank you, Xueba."

Li Shangshui was used to Ren Yang's accent, so he didn't take it seriously, and told him to read the book carefully before he put on his coat and scarf and set off for Burton Western Restaurant.

Ren Yang opened the notebook and saw a red stamp with the word "award" on the title page. After looking carefully, he found that the name of a high school was written on it. This should be a prize given by Li Shangshui's school when he was in high school.In Ren Yang's high school, every time the exams are taken, the top few on the list are directly awarded bonuses. There have never been any prizes, and it is even more impossible to use this low-grade glue-bound notebook as a prize. Even he himself would not buy this kind of notebook for use. .

But Li Shangshui actually brought it to the university, and recorded his study notes on it with great care. He was taciturn, but his handwriting was very public, and there was a strong sense of strength in it.Ren Yang recalled that Li Shangshui seemed to have more than one book, and it seemed that the diary was also a book with this kind of cover.Ren Yang couldn't help but feel distressed - Li Shangshui had to work hard to get what the children in the city could easily get or even throw away.

For such a hard-working person, I have added so many troubles to him, can this be regarded as liking?

When Li Shangshui arrived, there was still a quarter of an hour before the agreed time, and when he was hesitating whether to go in, Su Yue called.Su Yue's family has already booked a seat and is waiting for him in the restaurant.So he went in decisively, and the waiter came to greet him.

Soft music was playing in the restaurant, there were not many people, and they all talked in a low voice, making the atmosphere in the store very clean, which was completely different from the restaurant where he worked.Li Shangshui noticed that each booth is independent of each other and will not be affected by the surrounding guests.Even if Li Shangshui has never seen a high-end restaurant, he knows that the people who can come to this kind of place are at least at the petty bourgeoisie level, and a poor student like him from the countryside would not even have the idea of ​​coming here.

The waiter took him to Su Yue's seat, and what he saw were two men and a girl.If he hadn't remembered the little girl, he would have thought that the waiter had taken it to the wrong place - he only remembered that Su Yue wore a decent suit last time, but today Su Yue was dressed casually, making him look much younger .And more importantly, the man with Su Yue is a man. Could it be that the girl's mother hasn't come yet?

When Su Yue saw Li Shangshui coming, he quickly stood up to greet him, and the man opposite him who was sitting with the little girl also stood up.The little girl should be deeply impressed by Li Shangshui, so she ran over to hold his hand.

Li Shangshui smiled and nodded to Su Yue and the man. Feeling the warm and soft fingers of the little girl with his fingertips, he reached out and touched the girl's head.He suddenly thought with happiness: "Could this man be Su Yue's lover?"

Su Yue asked him to sit beside her, and then began to introduce the man.Unsurprisingly, the man was Su Yue's lover.

Su Yue said calmly: "Student Li, you may not be able to accept it, but this is my lover Lou Yu who has been in love for ten years. My daughter Su Mian is our adopted daughter. Sorry for not explaining to you in advance, if you can't accept us For the sake of Su Mian, please finish this thanksgiving meal."

Li Shangshui was really shocked. This shock did not come from Su Yue falling in love with the same man. After all, he already knew that same-sex love is not a rare thing in this world, but that the two of them have been in love for ten years. The eldest adopted daughter, and seems to be very happy.His cognition seemed to be refreshed again.

Li Shangshui was not very good at speaking nicely in front of people, but when he heard such a shocking incident, he was unable to say polite words immediately, and just stood there in a daze.The man opposite, Lou Yu and Su Yue looked at each other, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, if you can't accept it, I can leave and you guys can eat here. I asked Su Yue to ask you out without authorization, because I really want to meet you The benefactor who saved my daughter..."

No matter how clumsy Li Shangshui is, he should know how to speak when he hears others talk about it.He immediately waved his hands in a hurry: "It's okay, I, I know that homosexuality is normal, but I didn't expect that there are gays who can stay together for so many years in this environment in China. I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

The author has something to say:

It was over 30 degrees when I got up at six in the morning, and the heat was so hot that sweat got into my eyes when I was cooking.

Ah, let's get over the hot weather!

Everyone should also pay attention to heatstroke prevention (* ̄з ̄)
