Self-cultivation of spare tire

The University of Pennsylvania has free public lectures every week, and Chen Zhu attends them every weekend.

But Ye Xi didn't want to listen to those old professors chanting scriptures, and every time he found a reason to hide in the coffee shop and wait for him to finish class.

This weekend, Chen Zhu handed him a ticket to Harvard.

Chen Zhu: "I have applied for the qualification for Harvard's open class, let's go and listen together."

"Wow!" Ye Xi opened his eyes exaggeratedly, looking at Chen Zhu like a star, "Brother is so amazing!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Xiyi righteously refused the opportunity to go to the class: "Brother, I will disturb you. In order for you to concentrate on listening to the class, I will just wait for you in the corner."

Chen Zhu didn't expect this kid to follow him to class honestly, but he wanted to tease him, "It's okay, I won't be distracted."

"Yes, yes!" Ye Xi tugged Chen Zhu's arm and shook it, "Brother, I'm very understanding, and I won't cause you any trouble."

Seeing him racking his brains to skip class, Chen Zhu couldn't help laughing.And Ye Xi also realized that he had been seen through long ago, and couldn't help being "shy" for a while.

He threw himself into Chen Zhu's arms suddenly, and was almost knocked down by Chen Zhu.

Ye Xi whispered and acted like a puppy: "Brother!"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Chen Zhu barely stood still, he smiled, and stroked Ye Xi's short golden hair with his free hand.

He thought for a while and said, "However, it's a long way to and from Harvard. We may have to spend the night there."

Ye Xi's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Brother, shall we live together?" He said, "I, I'm ready..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhu said with a smile: "I just received my salary this week, and I booked a deluxe double room—just as a reward for taking care of me during this time. We can have a good rest, um, I heard there is a swimming pool under the hotel."

Double room... Ye Xi's radiant eyes suddenly dimmed, he arched into Chen Zhu's arms, and said vaguely: "The reward I want is not this."

"Huh?" Chen Zhu was pushed back frequently by Ye Xi, unable to hear the little ghost's muttering, "You, don't you like it?"

Ye Xi, whose family is in the top luxury hotel business, said: "I'm so happy! Luxury hotel, look forward to it!"

Chen Zhu smiled and hugged him, "I'm looking forward to it too." Every day with Ye Xi was surrounded by happiness, and Chen Zhu really liked this cheerful big boy.

Compared with Xu Lanting's step-by-step and walking on thin ice when he was with Xu Lanting, Chen Zhu enjoys the relaxation of his body and mind at this moment.

He thought that the love he expected was so simple and happy.

After the plane landed, Ye Xi pretended to be airsick and made up 1 reasons for refusing to attend the class.

However, after getting off the plane, a certain airsick person who was just "pretty and pitiful" suddenly picked up dozens of kilograms of luggage and ran all the way.

He winked at Chen Zhu while running, "Brother, I will wait for you obediently at the hotel!"

After finishing speaking, he blew a kiss to Chen Zhu carelessly.

Ye Xi's mysterious operation caused passers-by to cast prying eyes at Chen Zhu.

The blond mixed-race boy and the oriental boy... plus the fact that both of them are born with good skin, they can't help but attract more attention.

Under the meaningful eyes of everyone, Chen Zhu packed up his books aphasia and amusingly, tried his best to ignore the curious or smiling eyes around him, and headed to Harvard University.

Harvard is a top college, and those who come to attend lectures will inevitably/linger in the solemn and elegant buildings.

Chen Zhu also liked the strong academic atmosphere here. While waiting for the class to start, he wandered around.

There are many associations nearby that are recruiting newcomers, and many people are distributing association leaflets.

Chen Zhu walked around with curiosity. He lost the chance to go to college, but he also wanted to experience the college life he had longed for.

After a circle, Chen Zhu had a lot of colorful leaflets in his hand. Chen Zhu had heard of poetry clubs, debating clubs, and dance clubs.

But there are also some weird associations - foodie association, pizza research association, mahjong association formed by Chinese students...

On the one hand, Chen Zhu felt it was funny, but on the other hand he felt a little disappointed.

After all, this is also part of the college life he once dreamed of.

Chen Zhu put all the leaflets away and put them in his schoolbag. The class was about to start, and people were already taking their seats in the lecture hall one after another.

Just as Chen Zhu was about to leave, a member of the commune stopped him.

"Hey! Interested in joining our psychology group? Our community—"

Chen Zhu took the flyer, and before explaining that he was not a college student, the enthusiastic club member started to introduce it endlessly.

The other party spoke very fast, and with some technical terms, Chen Zhu only had a half-knowledge.

Until that person suddenly said: "You know that there is a famous outstanding alumni who was also the president of our club!" Then, the club member handed over a dark blue brochure.

Perhaps in order to increase the number of club members, the brochures are all outstanding alumni who have participated in this club.

Chen Zhu was caught off guard, and saw Xu Lanting in that pamphlet.

He never thought that he would see Xu Lanting's face again on such an occasion and in such a way.

The team members around were still trying their best to introduce, "Austin is not only an outstanding alumnus of our psychology, but also the best member of our club since its establishment."

"I think, if you met Austin, you'd fall in love with that man, he's a very, very attractive man."

Chen Zhu recalled that Xu Lanting casually mentioned that he studied at Harvard for a period of time.

But what I heard from other people's mouths was not as calm and breezy as Xu Lanting said.

Outstanding alumni, outstanding members... In a college full of talents like Harvard, he has become a man of the hour that everyone knows.

I have to say that Xu Lanting is indeed a very good person.

But this excellence, Chen Zhu neither envied, let alone admired.

Because everything about Xu Lanting has nothing to do with him.

After experiencing the cold winter in Moscow, the scorching sun in Australia, and the warmth in Carmel, the deepest scars on people's hearts will slowly scab over.

Time used the cruelest and fastest way to gouged out Chen Zhu's broken flesh and bones, and brought him back to life.

Chen Zhu has never been a person who likes to live with resentment, he will not make things difficult for himself, he would rather forget than hate for a long time.

So, when he saw Xu Lanting's fox-like eyes again, Chen Zhu only sighed in his heart.

It's like the spring breeze passing through the mountains, making a rustling sound, but it won't stop for a small grass in the forest.

Chen Zhu put away the brochure, thanked the other party, and walked into the public classroom calmly.

At the beginning, the deep bone wound was visible, but now it is just a sigh.

During the class break, Ye Xi sent a photo.The background of the photo is the sparkling swimming pool, and Ye Xi's beautiful face in front of the camera is close at hand.

The boy's hair was wet, and there were still drops of water on his cheeks, and he smiled brightly at the camera.

The haze in my heart was blown by the breeze and dissipated all of a sudden.

Chen Zhu showed a smile, and he returned Ye Xi's expression of a little sun.

After a while, Chen Zhu received Ye Xi's reply.

"Brother, does the sun mean 'day' in Chinese?"

Chen Zhu didn't expect him to be so open-minded and eager to learn, so he typed seriously, "The sun also means 'day', which represents light. In fact, the Xi in your name——"

Before Chen Zhu sent it, Ye Xi continued, "Brother, what do you mean by sending me 'Day'?"

After a while, I don't know what kind of weird little theater the other side imagined.

Ye Xi returned a shy expression.

[Brother, I'm ready. 】

Then there is a moving picture emoticon package covered with a quilt.

Chen Zhu's typing hands froze, and he turned off the screen speechlessly.

Originally thought that Ye Xi was just joking, but after the public class ended, Chen Zhu received a call from Ye Xi.

The other party said mysteriously: "Brother, I have prepared a surprise for you."

Chen Zhu laughed, and said helplessly, "It can't be fright."

After all, Ye Xi loves to make troubles not every day or two, and his surprises are often frightened.

Ye Xi felt aggrieved and said, "No way."

Chen Zhu was dubious, walked into the elevator and pressed the floor, "Okay, I'm almost there, are you in the room?"

"En!" Ye Xi was unexpectedly solemn, "Brother, open the door, I'll wait for you."

The elevator door opened slowly, and just as Chen Zhu wanted to say something, the phone was hung up.

Along with the busy tone came the melodious sound of violins.

Chen Zhu raised his eyes and saw the road paved with flowers in the corridor, and the violinists lined up beside him.

He slowly stepped on the soft carpet, listening to the melodious waltz, Chen Zhu's mood became joyful like a beating musical note.

He knew that Ye Xi was a sweetheart, but he never thought that Ye Xi would have such a romantic side.

With a smile, Chen Zhu slowly opened the door according to Ye Xi's instructions.

Different from the rose petals scattered in the corridor, the room is like a sea of ​​flowers, with clusters of colorful and uncommon flowers dotted everywhere like clouds.

The dome light in the room was replaced with scattered lights. Under the starlight, there is a huge heart.

When Chen Zhu got closer, he realized that the love heart was composed of countless photos.

Those photos include the back view of him picking in the orchard; the side view of him sitting on the field overlooking the distance;

It turned out that during those moments that Chen Zhu didn't pay attention to, there was always someone who silently cared about him and liked him quietly.

Chen Zhuyuan thought that Ye Xi's liking was like a child's liking for a beloved doll. Although it was sincere, it was unavoidably childish.

But looking at everything in front of him, Chen Zhu realized that that seemingly heartless guy liked him so much.

Ye Xi's love has never been faked, but just concealed.

Chen Zhu came back to his senses, and then remembered to look for Ye Xi's figure.

But he soon noticed the huge "gift box" on the bed.

Chen Zhu couldn't help laughing, the gift box seemed to say "Ah, I'm here, hurry up and find me."

"Cough," Chen Zhu approached the gift box and tapped lightly, "Is this my gift?"

"Then I opened it—" the voice did not finish.

With a bang, the box was opened, and Ye Xi jumped out.

He seemed to have forgotten how heavy he was, and when he jumped, his whole body hung on Chen Zhu's waist.

"Supri color!"

Unable to bear the force, Chen Zhu was violently pushed by inertia—then, they fell on the carpet.

"Ye Xi..." Chen Zhu was stunned by the bump, before he could push away the person on top of him, Ye Xi's beautiful face suddenly appeared above his head.

The blond boy's eyes were very beautiful, and when he looked down, they were as beautiful as roses.

In the star-studded room, surrounded by countless flowers, the cheerful violin music in the ear has become "A Praise to Love".

Everything is so appropriate, everything is so beautiful.

So, when Ye Xi closed his eyes and leaned over, Chen Zhu also closed his eyes.

This was their first kiss, and Chen Zhu could feel Ye Xi's careful probing, as well as the excitement and tension of the other party.

Even Ye Xi's hands supporting Chen Zhu's sides were trembling slightly.

In order to appease the nervous person, Chen Zhu raised his hand, caressed Ye Xi's back, turned his head slightly, and deepened the kiss.

The rich fragrance of flowers, the romantic starry sky, and the sea of ​​flowers like clouds have become their best witnesses.

"Ye Xi, be my boyfriend." Chen Zhu spoke first.The first confession was made by Ye Xi, and the surprise was also made by Ye Xi, Chen Zhu didn't want the other party to feel out of balance.

So, he looked at Ye Xi and said, "Ye Xi, I don't know what your definition of happiness is, but I have many definitions of happiness."

Chen Zhu: "Knowledge, ideals, and the future are all part of my happiness—" He smiled slightly, and his beautiful eyebrows and eyes have been washed with more and more captivating purity after time has accumulated.

"From now on, there is another part of my happiness, and that is you."

After Chen Zhu finished speaking, Ye Xi couldn't bear it anymore, bowed his head and kissed him fiercely.

How could there be such a charming guy as Chen Zhu in the world... Ye Xi sighed softly, with such an innocent face, speaking such seductive love words, killing people invisible.

"Chen Zhu, you are mine now." Ye Xi said, and he smiled softly, "Boyfriend."

After the kiss, Chen Zhu originally thought that according to Ye Xi's impatient personality, the next thing would develop in an unexpected direction.

But Ye Xi unexpectedly didn't force it.

Ye Xi knew what kind of person Chen Zhu was, he valued love and righteousness, but was conservative and stubborn.

So, even though Ye Xi was so greedy, he still licked his lips, and obediently fell into Chen Zhu's arms, "Brother, I like you so much."

Looking at the unexpectedly well-behaved man who was not a monster, Chen Zhu was moved and sweet. He rubbed Ye Xi's hair, even though the weight of the person on his body made him a little suffocated, he did not push him away anyway.

Maybe it was because he was too tired from attending classes during the day, but Chen Zhu fell asleep slowly amidst Ye Xi's sweet whispers.

"Brother?" Ye Xi half stood up, and saw Chen Zhu's long eyelashes drooping down slowly, like butterfly wings, beautiful and attractive.

Ye Xi looked at the defenseless man who fell into a deep sleep, and sighed helplessly, "Really, this is to seduce people to commit crimes, brother."

He sighed both troubled and happy, went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, and then fell asleep hugging Chen Zhu sticky again.

This night, Chen Zhu slept soundly, but was a little suffocated...

Unexpected encounters always catch people off guard. I thought seeing Xu Lanting's photo at Harvard was the end of everything.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Zhu returned to work in the restaurant, he saw a somewhat familiar man.

The man was dressed in a black suit, sitting quietly in front of the narrow dining table, his aura did not match this somewhat old restaurant.

Before Chen Zhu recalled what happened, a beautiful face suddenly popped up in front of him.

He subconsciously threw the thing in his hand at the opponent.

Is it from Xu Lanting?

Chen Zhu quickly ran towards the back kitchen, letting the person behind him swear and didn't look back.

After standing in the back kitchen for a while, Chen Zhu realized that the man seemed to be a former friend of Xu Lanting's.

No, to be more precise, it was Xu Lanting's childhood sweetheart, her legitimate fiancé, and the white moonlight in that man's heart.

Finally, Chen Zhu remembered that that person was Shen Zhixia.

The name Shen Zhixia once replaced him by Xu Lanting's side, appeared in major newspapers and TV news, and was Xu Lanting's famous "fiancé".

Chen Zhu finally remembered the stab in his chest on the night of his 20th birthday.

Fortunately, Chen Zhu has woken up from that nightmare.

He tidied up his messy uniform and planned to face the two uninvited people.

However, when Chen Zhu came out from the back kitchen, those two people had disappeared.

Chen Zhu didn't know the purpose of their coming here, but he guessed that the two of them were probably not sent by Xu Lanting.

At least, Jiang Mingzhuo will never be.

Chen Zhu thought it was just an accidental meeting, but when he was about to get off work, Jiang Mingzhuo left and returned.

The man didn't mean to embarrass him, but just sat quietly by the window.

Chen Zhu seems to remember that Jiang Mingzhuo and Shen Zhixia broke up in the bar, but now, the man and Shen Zhixia are together again.

He didn't have the mind to explore other people's private affairs, but he felt that Jiang Mingzhuo didn't look like someone who would turn his back on grass.

But looking at the people standing together again, Chen Zhu couldn't tell what he felt, sighed, or sighed.

Broken mirrors are hard to reconcile, will the broken and reassembled feelings be the same as before?

It wasn't until the customers at the last table in the shop had paid their bills that Chen Zhu finally had time to sit opposite the man.

Now that everyone has come to him, he won't run away either.

Jiang Mingzhuo didn't rush to speak, but just looked at him calmly for a while.

Under the somewhat oppressive gaze, Chen Zhu sat up straighter, and said without hesitation: "Hi, I don't know what you want from me?"

Jiang Mingzhuo is not like Xu Lanting who likes to go around in circles and put on airs. He straightforwardly explained his reason for coming: "I heard that you fled abroad because of Xu Lanting and missed the college entrance examination."

It wasn't until Jiang Mingzhuo heard it that Chen Zhu realized that he had already walked such a long distance.

That nightmare-like yesterday has passed for so long.

"Yes." Chen Zhu said, although he had regrets, he would no longer be as heart-piercing as before.After all, no matter how deep the wound was, it was already a taupe scar.

Everything is a foregone conclusion, Chen Zhu does not regret trying everything to escape Xu Lanting's control.

But Jiang Mingzhuo said: "Do you regret falling in love with Xu Lanting?"

Chen Zhu was startled, regretting...

How could he not regret it? Without Xu Lanting's catastrophe, he would have...

Originally ideals and opportunities were right in front of us and within reach.

However, Chen Zhu asked himself, if he did it all over again, he would still be attracted by someone as dazzling as Xu Lanting.

Xu Lanting is a catastrophe, but also an irresistible fate.

Jiang Mingzhuo took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "He's been looking for you recently, do you know that?"

Chen Zhu intuitively felt that Jiang Mingzhuo was not a bad person, even though the man's strong and indifferent aura made it impossible to get close to him.

"I know." Chen Zhu said, "I also know that I can't escape for long, after all, the other party is Xu Lanting."

He said: "But, I don't want to run away now." Chen Zhu said lightly, mentioning Xu Lanting again, he was already able to be calm.

"At the beginning, I was the one who wanted to be spoiled by him, and it was my fate to be tortured by Xu Lanting. I had no choice. But I don't regret it." Chen Zhu said, "In other words, I don't have time to regret it."

He is busy growing up, taking up the burden on his shoulders, and chasing the future and ideals.

Xu Lanting is just a passer-by in his life.

Jiang Mingzhuo is not a talkative person, he was silent for a moment, and handed over a business card.

"Come to my company, I can help you."

Looking at the business card with gold letters on the white background, Chen Zhu said, "Mr. Jiang, I think you know that I only have a high school degree."

Jiang Mingzhuo: "You can try it first."

Jiang Mingzhuo did it out of good intentions, and he also had regrets for burying the talent.

He could tell that Chen Zhu was a useful talent, if he hadn't been deceived by a scum like Xu Lanting, he wouldn't be in the situation he is today.

But the stubbornness in Chen Zhu's bones did not allow him to accept this kindness.

He resolutely rejected the olive branch offered to him, "Mr. Jiang, if you trust me enough, wait for me to obtain the qualifications that are truly worthy of this work group."

After the night when he was 19 years old, the boy lost his youthfulness and was no longer a boy.

But Chen Zhu's eyes still carried the original purity.

He has practiced the original sentence "the jade scriptures can be polished into tools", and a more thorough and bright soul has been washed out through honing.

Jiang Mingzhuo: "I'm waiting for that day."

Being able to survive the hands of a scum like Xu Lanting once, and still survive, it seems that he is still living well-such a person does not need his painstaking help.

However, it is necessary to help him hide from the scum a little bit.

I thought that Xu Lanting would come to him soon, but Chen Zhu lived unexpectedly peacefully for the next two months.

He knew that Mr. Jiang, who looked indifferent and distant, was actually a very gentle person.

Even though they only met each other a few times, they still chose to help him.

Taking advantage of the calm before the storm, Chen Zhu drove Ye Xi to the seaside promenade several times.

The two watched the sunset, the sea, and the tide on the beach.

The crimson round sun was slowly descending from the coastline, and every time at this time, Ye Xi would turn his head and kiss him in the afterglow of the sunset.

A moment of silence was interrupted by a bell.

Chen Zhu touched Ye Xi's frowning brows, "It's okay, it should be a scam call."

But the person who called was Jiang Mingzhuo.

Chen Zhu picked it up and heard Jiang Mingzhuo's calm voice on the other end of the phone.

"Xu Lanting knows that I cut off his clue secretly, and he should find you soon."

The man paused and said, "He's already downstairs in my company. If you need help, you can find me anytime."

Chen Zhu thanked him, and vaguely felt that Xu Lanting went to Jiang Mingzhuo's company because he might secretly target Jiang Mingzhuo.

He has seen too many dark and dirty methods by Xu Lanting. That man is cunning and good at perceiving people's hearts, and he can often easily pull his opponents off the negotiating table.

Chen Zhu didn't know much about Jiang Mingzhuo's situation, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, "He didn't do anything to you, did he, that guy Xu Lanting is very cunning——"

"No." The man on the other end of the phone sneered, "He got into a fight with someone."

Chen Zhu paused, as if he didn't quite understand, "What."

Jiang Mingzhuo said mockingly: "That old fox is fighting with my silly dog. Do you want to watch the live broadcast?"

It happened that he had a good view through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and he could see Xu Lanting's violent and paranoid appearance.

"No need." Chen Zhu didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Lanting and Shen Zhixia are fighting?

Aren't they each other's white moonlight?

When Chen Zhu was in a daze, Ye Xi squinted his eyes and asked him with a smile: "Brother, who is Xu Lanting?"

The author has something to say: baa there is a reminder of the Shura field, because every chapter in the next chapter is a Shura field hahaha
