a quarter of his

Autumn in City C is very short. Once the National Day is over, the temperature begins to drop at a daily rate.

At the end of October, many girls who are afraid of the cold have already put on down jackets.

Lin Jingfan was not used to the old campus at first, because it was too small, the area of ​​the old campus was barely one-fifth of the new campus, and he always felt like walking around casually would disappear.

The second is because of the atmosphere.

The old campus is basically full of senior students such as juniors, seniors, and even postgraduates with doctorates, and the academic atmosphere is very strong.On weekdays, the study room in the library is almost full every day, and the students I see on the road are all in a hurry, and there is very little fighting.

Although Lin Jingfan calmed down after his sophomore year and began to study hard, his nature is still playful.After adapting to the rhythm of life in the junior year, I began to think about travel plans.

City C is a popular tourist city, with a lot of delicious food and fun, so recently Lin Jingfan was looking for strategies on Weibo when he was free from work and study, planning to invite friends to visit City C first.

One day, while he was scrolling through #在C城你必食的十种食品#, he suddenly received a message from Xu Chen.

"Turing": Go hiking on weekends, do you want to go together?

The two of them have been busy with their own things since they played with drones in the playground last time. Lin Jingfan was thinking about going out to play recently, and Xu Chen's invitation really touched his heart.

"Invisible Sails": Anyone who wants to climb any mountain?

"Turing": Shaohuashan, let me tell you the time on Friday.

Very good!

He happened to have never been to Shaohua Mountain, Lin Jingfan immediately agreed happily.The two chatted a few words here and there, and Xu Chen was called away again.

Lin Jingfan knew that he was usually very busy, so he searched for Shaohua Mountain Raiders on Weibo, and by the way, looked for delicious food on Dianping.

I just don't know how many people went out this time.

During the gathering before, it seemed that he heard graduate students say that they wanted to go out for a team building recently, and Lin Jingfan guessed that maybe he just happened by the way.

But when he went to the starting point according to the time given by Xu Chen, he found that Xu Chen was the only one there.

"Where are the others, brother?" Lin Jingfan looked around, "Have you arrived yet?"

Xu Chen was wearing a gray-blue overcoat, with his slender legs crossed, and was leaning on the little electric donkey. Hearing this, he raised his eyes from the phone.

The eyes of the two met in the air, Lin Jingfan somehow, the strange feeling from before reappeared.

Xu Chen's gaze separated from him immediately, looked around twice, and then said blankly: "Hey, are you still calling for someone?"

Lin Jingfan was stunned: "Just the two of us?"

"It's just the two of us," Xu Chen blinked slyly.

"Eh", Lin Jingfan was speechless immediately, thinking that two people who are alone and widowed are going to climb the mountain, so they don't bring such a trap.

"Why don't you call a few more people?" Xu Chen saw his confused face, picked up his phone and prepared to call someone.

"Farewell," Lin Jingfan stopped immediately, "It's early in the morning, I'm probably still asleep."

"Then come out another day?" Xu Chen looked at his face and suggested again.

"No... no need."

Lin Jingfan glanced at Xu Chen's dark expression, and realized that he must have misunderstood that he didn't want to go out with him alone.

However, this couldn't be explained at all, and it couldn't be said that he thought it was too weird for two big men to hang out together.

It's not like I haven't had this kind of experience before, but once I arrived at Xu Chen's place, the atmosphere became strange for no reason.

Ahhhhh!

Lin Jingfan was about to growl, he even wanted to show his cards directly, and asked Xu Chen: Are you gay, are you interested in me, let's have a good time.

However, the risk of doing so is too great, in case Xu Chen is really just a straight man obsessed with scientific research...

Lin Jingfan didn't dare to imagine the scene after that.

"It's all here." He put on a relaxed tone, and joked to Xu Chen, "It's just a little accident, I thought I just picked it up."

"Tsk, who dares to treat our Fanzi as a 'piggyback'?" Xu Chen raised his chin towards him, showing a sly smile, "Come on, get in the car."

Lin Jingfan finally understood that this guy had no intention of going back at all, and thought that he had been tricked again.

The two sat in front of each other on a small electric donkey. It took less than 5 minutes to drive from the dormitory area to the gate. The late autumn wind was blowing on their faces, but it was not biting.

Xu Chen first took Lin Jingfan to a car rental company, gave him the electric donkey to park, and went in to negotiate.

Half an hour later, a Volkswagen drove out of the city and onto the expressway.

"Senior brother, your driving skills are good." Lin Jingfan sat in the co-pilot and kept looking sideways at Xu Chen driving.

"The car is five years old." Xu Chen curled his lower lip, "Have you passed the driver's license test?"

"I passed the exam last semester," Lin Jingfan said, "I haven't even touched a car until now."

"Then let me give you a try when I get off the highway later?" Xu Chen looked sideways at him.

"Success", Lin Jingfan became interested, "But I'm just a novice who can't be new, so you can rest assured that I can drive?"

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Lin Jingfan found that Xu Chen had a special quality that attracted him, that kind of self-confidence that came from the bottom of his bones.

It seemed that no matter what matter was in his eyes, he only needed to move his fingers to solve it.

Lin Jingfan has been walking all the way, and he deeply feels that every step he takes is a pass, and it is extremely difficult to get to the present.

However, Xu Chen is naturally outstanding. Perhaps some people are born destined to be the focus of the crowd and be looked up to.

After getting off the highway, Xu Chen really switched places with him.They drove off the national road and drove on the wide road, with lush trees on both sides, and kept backing away from the car window.

The air is cool and fresh, as if far away from all the pressure and annoyance of the secular world, making people relax completely.

"Drive slowly", Xu Chen naturally put his hand on Lin Jingfan's, helping him adjust the direction.

"It turns out that the autumn in City C is so beautiful." Lin Jingfan also began to feel a little bit, this is the first time for him to travel by car with his friends.

On the empty road, white clouds lay lazily at the end of the blue sky, and soft music played slowly in the car. The two of them didn't talk much, and they chatted occasionally, feeling like they were one with the world.

"Sometimes I have a particularly unrealistic idea," Xu Chen said suddenly.

Lin Jingfan turned his head curiously, and saw him leaning on the back of the chair, looking out the window in a daze.

"Sometimes I feel that everything I'm doing now is meaningless," Xu Chen said lightly, "Academics, projects, the future... There are many things, there is no essential difference between getting and not getting, it's better to be like Like the people in this mountain, they live a simple life."

"Don't you like what you're doing now?" Lin Jingfan never thought that Xu Chen would think like this, he always thought that a man like Xu Chen would not have these troubles at all.

"I like the current direction very much." Looking back, Xu Chen has regained his usual calmness and relaxation. "Unmanned driving and artificial intelligence have always been what I want to do. It's just that I have been in the city for a long time, and I always It will feel a little smoky."

"I understand how you feel." Lin Jingfan thought about it seriously, then turned to look at him, "It's a kind of feeling that emmm was born."

"This word is used well," Xu Chen's eyes showed a trace of surprise, "Sometimes I feel that if I can live like 'picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and seeing Nanshan leisurely', it would be pretty good."

"Actually, if you really live like that, you may not necessarily like it," Lin Jingfan said, "Just the toilets in the countryside are enough to make people suffocate."

"Hahaha", the two looked at each other and smiled.

"That's why." Lin Jingfan shook his head, "People in the city want to live in the country, and people in the countryside try to make a living in the city. It's not just marriage, life is surrounded by cities."

"Hahaha, I can't help it. After being myself for a long time, there will be times when I am tired of self-aesthetics. 'I would be fine if I wasn't me', haven't you ever felt this way?"

"Me?" Lin Jingfan thought about it seriously, and said, "Yes."

"When something unchangeable happens." Lin Jingfan frowned slightly, thinking about how to express it, "Well, there have been more or less."

"But how should I say it?" Lin Jingfan stuttered, "Everyone has their own life. If you become someone else, you may be able to escape your catastrophe, but you cannot escape his catastrophe. Well, just like Taoism It’s like going through a catastrophe, but if you think about it this way, it’s better to go through your own catastrophe. Well, I don’t know what I’m talking about, just ignore me..."

"I understand", Xu Chen said with a smile, Lin Jingfan found that the way he looked at him was different from before.Appreciation?Or something else.

"We all only see the glamorous side of others," Xu Chen said, "but we never think that other people also have a lot of chicken feathers."

"That's right, that's what it means," Lin Jingfan hurriedly said, and then smiled at him slyly, "For example, when I see you, brother, you are handsome."

"To each other," Xu Chen turned his head away with a smile, "I think you're also very handsome."

"Really?" Lin Jingfan became excited all of a sudden, and put his face in the rearview mirror regardless of his image, "Where do you think is more handsome, I have been through many vicissitudes in the past two years..."

"..."

Maybe because he didn't expect him to go offline so suddenly, Xu Chen was stunned for a while.

"Be careful." He turned Lin Jingfan's face away helplessly, "Keep an eye on the road and drive."

"Why don't you change it back, and you'll be on the Huanshan Highway soon."

The two changed places, Xu Chen drove for another half an hour, and finally arrived at Shaohua Mountain.

There are not many people in Shaohua Mountain, and most of the people who come on the big weekend are locals.The two bought tickets at the gate, ate some snacks at the foot of the mountain, and began to climb the mountain.

The mountain is not high, but the scenery on both sides is very good. The mountain roads are paved with flat stone steps, and there is a wooden bridge from time to time, with clear spring water flowing underneath.

The temperature on the mountain was a bit low, and the surroundings were so quiet that one could even hear each other's breathing. The two walked side by side and completed the entire climb in less than two hours.

When climbing up to the last section of the platform, a waterfall poured down from the sky, and the water vapor spread over the face, and the face was wet in a moment.

"Come on, let's take pictures", Lin Jingfan turned on his phone, and he and Xu Chen played around in front of the waterfall, taking many funny photos.

Xu Chen is not straight at all in this regard. Although he is not keen on taking pictures, he has been very cooperative and has contributed a lot to Lin Jingfan's collection of ugly photos.

They returned along the same road, ate a whole chicken feast at the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, and finally drove back to the city in turn.

It was almost ten o'clock when we arrived at school, Lin Jingfan felt that his whole body was going to be exhausted, but he was still very energetic.

The two said goodbye downstairs in the dormitory, Lin Jingfan hummed and walked towards the dormitory, thinking that Xu Chen is really a good playmate.

After that day, the two made appointments and went to many places. Sometimes Xu Chen was looking for him, and sometimes he was looking for Xu Chen.

They visited almost all the famous places in City C, and often drove to some unknown places by themselves.

Xu Chen is very, very easy to make appointments, as long as he is not doing scientific research, he can find them at will during the rest of the time, so there is no need to worry about disturbing him.He is calm and funny, when the two have something to talk about, they can talk very high, and when there is no topic, even if they are silent, they will not be embarrassed.

Lin Jingfan gradually felt that if Xu Chen was gay, it seemed pretty good for the two of them to be together like this.
