Crush in pairs

In mid-July, Xin Jian went through all the formalities and embarked on a journey to the United States with Tong Yi.The seventeen-hour long-distance flight almost drove Xin Jian crazy, and she was finally able to leave the narrow box in the cabin. As soon as she stepped on the ground, Xin Jian felt that she was alive again. To be honest, this long-distance flight It's really not something ordinary people can bear, fortunately there is Tong Yi by his side.

"I can't imagine you sitting on the plane alone for so long, it can drive people crazy." Xin Jian still had lingering fears after thinking about it.

Tong Yi looked at his still pale face distressedly: "Next time we can connect and not fly directly, it won't be so painful."

Xin Jian shrugged: "It's just long-term pain and short-term pain."

"At least I can take a breath in the middle." Tong Yi said with a smile.

Apart from the fact that the journey made him feel unhappy, Xin Jian is still very much looking forward to the new life, the new environment, the new life, and the most important thing is that he and Xin Jian are now far away from each other, and no one can control them. You can toss as much as you want!

"Quick, quick, take me home!" Xin Jian urged Tong Yi, who couldn't wait to see their new home.

Since Xin Jian got the offer from Boston University in March, Tong Yi started to buy a house, and it was finally finalized before going back.Why buy a house? One is for stability and convenience. After all, they will live here for a few years. The other is for investment. It is also feasible for them to rent or resell the house after graduation. It can also be used as a vacation home.

Tong Yi hailed a taxi, and Xin almost ran to their new home.The house is located in the Cambridge area, very close to the school. It is a two-story villa with a dark blue roof, milky white walls, a wooden fence surrounding the yard, and ivy climbing on the fence. The yard is full of grass and red roses. In full bloom, it is really a beautiful place.There are all such houses side by side.

Xin Jian fell in love with this small house immediately, and she couldn't close her mouth: "How much is this house?"

Tong Yi said, "70."

Xin Jian quickly calculated, 30 million RMB, if you buy an apartment of more than 100 square meters in Shenzhen, that is, in the city center, the American people are so rich, and the house is still very cheap.In the final analysis, China's population is too large.

Tong Yi said: "House prices have risen sharply in the past two years. A friend bought a house at this time last year. The area was similar to this, and it was only in the early 60. It has risen so much in a year, mainly because many people in China are in the house. Buy property here, this is considered a school district house.”

Xin Jian said with emotion: "The Chinese are really rich and prostitute."

Tong Yi pushed open the fence door: "Come in, can you see a flower outside the door?"

Xin Jian smiled: "Well, look at the flowers."

A beautiful blond girl came out of the house on the left. Seeing them, she greeted them friendly through the fence: "Are you my new neighbors? Welcome, my name is Kate."

Tong Yi greeted each other politely: "Hi, my name is Donnie. This is my boyfriend David."

Xin Jian raised her eyebrows, when did he call David?But in front of outsiders, I didn't have the nerve to refute, so I greeted Kate with a smile: "Hi! Nice to meet you."

Kate raised her eyebrows and said, "You are all very nice."

It was the first time for Xin Jian to be praised for being nice in person, and she immediately had a very good impression of this girl, she was really straightforward and cute.

Kate drove out, and Xin Jian said to Tong Yi who opened the door and pulled the luggage in: "When did I call David?"

Tong Yi said: "I named it for you, David means the person I love."

Xin Jian looked at Tong Yi and shook her head helplessly: "Then why are you called Donny?"

Tong Yi said: "My name is more homonymous."

Xin Jian said: "Then I can also choose a similar name, Jie."

Tong Yi looked at him: "Actually, your name can be called your own name, Jane."

Xin Jian slapped Tong Yi on the back: "Go shi!" Jane has an English name, but this name is used by women abroad.

Tong Yi laughed: "You know that too."

"I don't care about you. My English name is Jie. It's the same name as my idol Jay Chou. I'm proud of you." Xin Jian said as she entered the room, "Wow, it's so beautiful. I live upstairs, right? "

Tong Yi said: "I actually think you really don't need to change your name, just Jane, really, Bao."

Xin Jian raised her hand and patted him: "Stop making fun of me. Are there as many people named David in America as Li Ming and Zhang Wei in China?"

Tong Yi pulled the box and went upstairs: "Forget it, I don't need that name anyway, no matter what others call you, you are my treasure."

After hearing this, Xin Jian stopped fussing with him and went upstairs with him. Tong Yi opened a door and said, "Our bedroom." The upstairs room is the same as the downstairs one, with furniture and so on. All covered with white cloth.

Xin Jian looked into the room, it was a very spacious and bright house, the white curtains were drawn, and the light was not very bright. Rowing the boat, the coolness of the whole summer is coming, this house is simply perfect.Xin Jian ran back, hugged Tong Yi, and kissed her hard: "Tong Yi, I love you so much, I love this house to death."

Tong Yi said: "Come and listen to those who have a nice voice."

Xin Jian sucked his earlobe: "Husband, thank you!"

Tong Yi kissed him on the cheek: "It is my honor to satisfy my wife."

Xin Jian said: "Hurry up, pack it up, I can't wait to sleep in the new house." He jumped over, pulled the white cover on the bed hard, and pulled it off, and then went to collect other things, Tong Yi looked at him Jumping around like a happy bird, my mood was greatly affected, and I joined in the tidying up.

The two of them were busy for half an afternoon, and it was almost dark before they managed to clean up the house without mopping the floor.Tong Yi said: "I won't come, let's take a shower, go to eat, and then come back to sleep. I'm exhausted."

Xin Jian was in high spirits: "I think it's okay."

Tong Yi shook his head helplessly, it was really hard to understand that strange hormone, before entering the house, Xin Jian was still listless, but now it was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he took the car keys and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner , Then go to the supermarket and buy some necessities, let’s collect the things that should be collected slowly, there is still a lot of time before school starts.”

Tong Yi took the car from the garage. It has been useless for more than a month, and there is a lot of dust in the car.The car drove out of the yard, the street outside was clean and tidy, a bit like a paradise, and another feeling was that it was empty, maybe because of the holiday, there were very few pedestrians outside at the moment, Tong Yi opened the roof window, and looked up to see the dusk The orange-red sky dyed by the setting sun, the innocent blue here, and the cool breeze coming in through the top window make people feel extraordinarily comfortable.

Tong Yi said: "I will take the test for an international driver's license in two days, and then I will be able to drive. Do you want to buy another car?"

Xin Jian asked him, "Is it necessary to buy a car?"

Tong Yi thought for a while: "I don't think it's necessary. We should be able to act together. If someone is inconvenient, the other one will pick it up. You need to familiarize yourself with the road conditions first. By the way, is your English ok? If not, I can speak English with you."

Xin Jian said: "There shouldn't be a big problem with daily communication, but when the time comes for class, I guess I will have to catch up on my professional knowledge." Although Xin Jian's English is good, but to conduct all English teaching and research, I'm afraid I have to cheer up to deal with.

Tong Yi said: "Okay, I will help you when the time comes, and I can learn with you."

Xin Jian laughed: "Are you still a top student here?"

Tong Yi is not without pride: "A top student is a top student wherever he goes."

Xin Jian reached out to poke his head: "It's so beautiful."

The first meal I ate in the United States was Western food. I do as the Romans do. It is not so easy to eat Chinese food. Fortunately, everything is still fresh, and I don’t think it is too bad.After dinner, Tong Yi took Xin Jian to the supermarket, and the two of them pushed the cart to buy things in the mall. Tong Yi had never lived in that house before. He used to rent a house with others, so he needed many things. purchase.

Pushing the cart, Xin Jian followed Tong Yi to wander among the shelves. The supermarket is so big and there are so few people. Xin Jian really likes the feeling of shopping with Tong Yi. When they were in China, the two had also visited the supermarket together. Experience, but the number of times is very small, and there was no public relationship at that time, and it was not as free as it is now.

Massachusetts is the first state in the United States to allow same-sex marriage, so the freedom of the atmosphere can be imagined. They can do some things that ordinary couples can do in public, such as kissing, holding hands, hugging, and hooking shoulders. etc.

Tong Yi likes to turn around from time to time to rub Xin Jian and pinch him.Tong Yi led Xin Jian to a shelf: "Every time I visit the supermarket, I see these and think, when you come, I will need them."

Xin Jian heard the words and saw that it was lubricant and Durex. He subconsciously looked around and found no one, so he quickly took a box and threw it in the cart. Tong Yi took it out to check it, and put it back: "The size It’s too small, and it’s only useful if you buy it in the right size.” After speaking, he threw two boxes of large ones in, and took two boxes of lubricants in.

Xin Jian pushed the car like a thief and hurried forward a few steps. Tong Yi laughed at him from behind: "Just now I was saying that the atmosphere here is free, so I feel embarrassed to buy a condom."

Xin Jian stopped, that's right, this moment and that moment, and both of them have been legalized, and their parents have agreed, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about, so he laughed: "Who is embarrassed to come?"

Tong Yi saw that he was a dead duck with a stiff mouth, stretched out his hand, hooked his neck, kissed him, and separated after a while: "That's right, all the wind blowing here is free, you can do whatever you want, dear , from now on, we can go shopping hand in hand in an open and aboveboard manner." After speaking, he took Xin Jian's hand into his own, clasped his fingers tightly, and pushed the cart with his spare hand.

As soon as I turned around the shelf, I ran into someone, and I was an acquaintance. Someone exclaimed: "Tong Yi, you're back?" The speaker was still in Chinese.

Xin Jian took a closer look, she was a young Chinese girl, she was quite pretty, with a baby face, heavy makeup, and curly hair that had been permed and dyed, she seemed to be trying to look mature.

Tong Yi glanced at the other party, smiled and nodded slightly: "Yes, I just arrived today. Xin Jian, this is Lin Shuyu, a roommate I used to rent together. Shuyu, this is my boyfriend, Xin Jian, who just arrived Come over from the country."

The girl named Lin Shuyu blinked and looked at Xin Jian with a complicated light in her eyes: "Oh, this is your boyfriend, hello."

Xin simply felt that the other party was not very friendly, and seeing that the other party did not extend his hand, he nodded: "Hello."

Tong Yi didn't let go of Xin Jian's hand, and asked casually, "Did you come here alone? Where's Hu Ze?"

Lin Shuyu pursed her lips: "He is not someone from me, do I need to look for him for everything?"

Tong Yi said: "Then let's go first, you can go shopping slowly." After speaking, Xin Jian and Xin Jian pushed the cart, turned around Lin Shuyu and went forward, discussing what else to buy.

After walking a few steps, the girl turned around and chased after her: "Tong Yi, since you are back, when will you have a party and invite everyone to get together, we haven't seen your new house yet .”

Tong Yi said: "There should be a lot of people going home for vacation now, let's talk about it when everyone comes. My house hasn't been tidied up yet, so it's not convenient for the time being."

Lin Shuyu said: "Then can I go to visit first? Tell me the address, and I will go there by myself."

Tong Yi said: "It will take two days, the house really hasn't been cleaned up yet."

"I can help." Lin Shuyu stroked her sleeves.

Tong Yi smiled and said, "It's not too much trouble, after I pack it up, I can ask my friends who are still here to come and get together first. Go and do your work, we still have something to buy."

After turning around a few shelves and making sure that Lin Shuyu would no longer be seen, Xin Jian asked what was in her heart: "Does this girl like you?"

Tong Yi turned to look at him: "If I'm gay, it's useless for her to think about it."

Xin Jian laughed: "Maybe someone wants to save you, a lamb that has gone astray."

Tong Yi put his hand in from the back of Xin Jian's neck: "Che, I am the savior, do I still need to be saved? I only save you."

Xin Jian asked: "Is the party you mentioned just now real? There are many Chinese students here, right?"

"Well, there are quite a few, but their personalities are all weird, and you will know when you meet them. In the land of the United States, everyone admires individuality, so people use their various temperaments to the extreme. It's bad, but if you don't have close friends, it's still fun to watch, and it can add a lot of fun." Tong Yi said with a smile.

Xin Jian asked, "For example, what eccentricity does that girl have?"

"The princess is seriously ill, and she feels good about herself, thinking that everyone loves her." Tong Yi shrugged.

Xin Jian said, "Then why did you rent with her?"

Tong Yi said: "She just came here last year. Her family has a little money, her grades are not good, and she studied matriculation first. My original shared roommate is going to work in New York. The house was sublet to her before it expired."

Xin Jian said: "Speaking of which, this girl is not over 20 years old?"

Tong Yi nodded: "19."

Xin Jian smiled, sure enough, she felt right, the child pretended to be a human.

"You and her are the only ones sharing your house?" Xin Jian asked.

Tong Yi said: "No, that house is relatively big, with three bedrooms, and a boy named Hu Ze. Hu Ze is a poet. Although he studies law, he writes poems for Lin Shuyu every day. Lin Shuyu doesn't like him. sour."

"What school do they all go to?"

"Hu Ze is at Harvard, Lin Shuyu is at some school, I don't remember the name, the school is quite far from where she lives, but maybe she doesn't intend to study." Tong Yi said lightly, picking up a tissue box and throwing it into the In the cart.

Xin Jian raised her eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions.

"Foreigners like to throw parties, don't they?" Thinking of this, Xin Jian couldn't help feeling excited, "I've never had a party before, isn't it fun?"

Tong Yi said: "After a while, let some friends and classmates come over to play, have a barbecue or something, drink, dance, and the neighbors around, please also invite them."

"Okay!" Xin Jian's interest was high.

Tong Yi said: "First we have to tidy up the yard so that it is full of grass."

"Isn't that just grass? What else should I do?" Xin Jian said.

"The weeds still have to be pulled out, and the grass is too long and needs to be pruned. All in all, there is still a big project to be done." Tong Yi said.

Xin Jian's shoulders slumped: "It's really troublesome, it turns out that the villa is not easy to live in."

Tong Yi laughed: "Then let's change places and move to a high-rise apartment?"

"No, let's forget about it, just clean it up, and treat it as exercise." Xin Jian really likes that house, you can see the river.

"It's right to think so."

After shopping, they came out with two carts loaded with things. They pushed the cart to the parking lot and saw Lin Shuyu again. She was still packing things by the car. For some reason, a bag was broken and the things were scattered all over the place. She was so angry that she kept stomping on those things.

Tong Yi cast a glance: "Miss is losing her temper."

Xin Jian asked, "Do you want to help?"

Tong Yi said: "Don't worry about it, let her toss about it by herself." After speaking, he opened the trunk and began to pack things.

Lin Shuyu called pitifully: "Tong Yi, help me, this thing can't be put in!"

Tong Yi straightened up and said, "If you can't fit in the trunk of the car, put it in the back seat of the car." After speaking, he bent down again.

Lin Shuyu was so angry that she kicked the car a few times. The car was frightened and sounded the siren. The black security guard at the supermarket looked at Lin Shuyu at the door and came over to say something to her. She shook her arm vigorously, Say in English: "Get out, get out, don't bother me!"

The black security had no choice but to back away again and again.

Xin Jian thought for a while.He said, "Why don't you go and have a look?"

Tong Yi said: "Miss is in a bad mood. Most of the reasons are on you and me. You are still hitting the muzzle of the gun. Are you stupid? Go away quickly and ask for blessings."

Xin Jian looked at Tong Yi and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be ruthless at times."

Tong Yi raised her head, stared at Xin Jian seriously, did not speak, then took Xin Jian's hand, and walked to Lin Shuyu's car together: "What's the matter?"

When Lin Shuyu heard Tong Yi coming, she raised her head suddenly and saw Xin Jian. Her surprised face immediately became expressionless, faster than a Sichuan opera: "The bag is broken, and everything is scattered! And that vacuum cleaner, how can I put it away?" Don't go in."

Xin Jian looked at the round gadgets all over the floor, and didn't know what they were, so she bent down to help pick them up. Lin Shuyu screamed: "I don't want your help!"

Tong Yi glanced at Xin Jian, showing a sympathetic expression, then opened the car door, and helped her put the vacuum cleaner that couldn't fit in the trunk into the back seat of the car: "Okay, pick things up by yourself, we just came here today, I'm exhausted, go back to sleep first." After speaking, she dragged Xin Jian away.

Lin Shuyu burst into tears at the back, Xin Jian didn't stay or look back this time, and followed Tong Yi away.

After getting in the car, Tong Yi smiled at Xin Jian: "It's been said that it's the princess's disease, you still have to get used to her and find trouble for yourself. We don't care about it, she will take care of it naturally, she is in the United States I have lived for more than a year, what can't I do?"

Xin Jian frowned and said, "It's really depressing. I thought I was a compatriot, so please help me, but I turned out to be a donkey with good intentions. The first person I met here was my rival in love. Does this mean that in the future, I will Life is hard? How many rivals do I have?"

Tong Yi laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't the first person the driver? Even if the driver is not counted, she is the pretty girl next door. She is very friendly and even praises you. As for the rival in love, I think I'm going to worry more than you, you know, the most popular here is a sunny, handsome, athletic boy like you."

When Xin Jian heard him talking about this, she felt relieved: "It's not that exaggerated, isn't it that I'm a famous woman?" After speaking, she raised her hand with the ring.

Tong Yi grabbed his ring-wearing hand and hummed: "It's good to know."

This is how life in the United States began. Xin Jian was busy with their small home every day, and the house gradually became more and more like a home.

However, the discomfort of regional differences has gradually become stronger. The most obvious manifestation is the problem of eating. In the first two days, I was busy tidying up the house. I ordered a takeaway, or went out to eat, but did not start a party. After eating for two days, Xin Jian got angry and got ulcers.

Ulcers are not a serious illness, but the pain is terribly painful. It hurts to talk and drink water, and I don’t think about eating or drinking. Xin Jian just looks at it, and she doesn’t have the energy to do anything. She doesn’t even think about her favorite sex. affected the quality of life.

Xin Jian said, "Go to the pharmacy and buy some easy-to-mouth stickers for me."

Tong Yi said: "You should eat some tomatoes and oranges, just add some vitamins. Yikoutie is a western medicine with hormones, so use as little as you can."

Xin Jian glared at Tong Yi: "Are you making a mistake? I already have a sore mouth, and you make me feel sore. Are you really against me?"

Tong Yi rubbed his head amusedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Life is too irregular recently, and I have arrived in a new place, and I haven't fully adapted to it yet. Besides, the food I eat recently is too complicated, and I get angry easily. I'll go Buy some food and come back to cook, let’s eat at home in the future. Come, eat an orange, it’s very sweet, it won’t hurt much, just eat it for two days and you’ll be fine.”

Xin Jian looked at Tong Yi's cut and peeled orange, opened her mouth to take it, and ate it with her teeth bared. She was still a little bit irritated, but not unbearable.

Tong Yi said: "You stay at home, I'll go shopping."

Xin Jian said, "I'll go with you, it's just a mouth ulcer, it's not a big problem."

Tong Yi drove to China Town, only there can buy more authentic Chinese ingredients and seasonings, Xin Jian looked at the road a little differently: "Aren't you going to the supermarket?"

Tong Yi said, "No, go shopping in Chinatown."

"There's no Chinatown here, is there?"

"No, I only have to go to New York, and I'll go when I'm free." Tong Yi said.

There are quite a lot of Chinese in Boston, because there are many universities here, and there are many foreign students from China.Tong Yi was picking vegetables, and Xin Jian was pushing the cart. Seeing Tong Yi pick up a dish, she asked, "Can you cook this?"

Tong Yi said: "Some can do it, some can't, and if you can't, you can check the domestic Internet on the wall, and you will know it by Baidu."

Xin Jian couldn't help laughing: "It sounds very simple. I didn't expect that my schoolboy god has lit up his cooking skills now, it's really getting more and more cool."

Tong Yi leaned over and kissed him on the lips: "For my boyfriend at the bottom of the crane, I am willing to do anything."

Xin Jian rolled her eyes: "I'm also a top student now, okay, don't look at people with old eyes."

Tong Yi giggled: "Yeah, I forgot, you are now my bully boyfriend."

There was an old Chinese lady on the opposite side who looked at them as if stupefied. Xin Jian accidentally saw the old man and was a little puzzled, but the old lady said in vernacular: "It's the way of the world. If you don't learn from good ones, you can learn from others. gay."

Xin Jian didn't bother with the old lady, and said in vernacular with a smile: "You can't learn to be gay. Grandma, no matter if you are a foreigner or a Chinese, everyone is born gay."

Tong Yi pulled Xin Jian away: "Don't bother with that old lady, she's just an irrelevant passerby."

Xin Jian shrugged indifferently: "I don't care. Everyone has different ideas. We don't need to force everyone's approval. Even God is not satisfactory, is it?"

"It's right to think so." Tong Yi changed the subject, "There are sea crabs and shrimps here, which one do you want to eat?"

Xin Jian said, "Let's eat the shrimps, and we'll eat the crabs later, they're not fat enough yet."

Tong Yi grinned: "You're pretty good at making a living. The best food you like is cooking. Just steam the fish and blanch the shrimp. Oh, by the way, fish and shrimp are considered fat, so you can't eat them, right?"

Xin Jian yelled: "It's nothing. I used to eat it when I was at home. Ulcers are due to vitamin deficiency. I'll just eat more fruits and vegetables."

The two returned home with a full load in Chinatown. After returning, Tong Yi rolled up his sleeves and cooked Xin Jian's first love meal.Xin Jian gnawed on a tomato and watched from the sidelines: "This is very simple, steamed fish is the easiest."

Tong Yi spread the salt and sugar, put ginger and scallions on it, and poured sauce and vinegar on it, put it aside, and started to process the broccoli, Xin Jian said: "Does the broccoli need to be soaked in salt water? I think my grandma That's how it was done."

Tong Yi paused: "How?"

Xin Jian scratched her nose: "I don't know, it seems that after breaking the broccoli, put it in the water and soak it with salt for a while. Maybe it's sterilization?"

Tong Yi went outside to check on the Internet, and found that soaking in salt water was to kill insects, and blanching it in boiling water before frying could keep the bright green color.It's really a husband and wife who are of the same mind, and they are always in harmony.

Half an hour later, Xin Jian looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, steamed fish, boiled shrimp, broccoli shrimp, cold tomato and seaweed egg soup, and couldn't help whistling: "Wow, Tong Yi, I love you so much , the male god of learning, he is now the male god of the family."

Tong Yi suddenly remembered something, reached out and touched the tip of his nose, and said slowly: "Baby, I forgot a very important thing - I haven't washed the rice and cooked it yet."

Xin Jian couldn't help laughing out loud: "Puff ha ha ha, when the male god's brain also has shortcomings, hurry up and do it now, it will be done in a few minutes."

Tong Yi took off her apron and said, "I'll leave the cooking to you in the future. I'm only in charge of cooking."

Xin Jian said, "Yes, but you have to teach me how to drain the water. I don't even know how to do it."

"Hurry up and learn."

Xin Jian grabbed a shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth: "Oh, here we come."

When the two of them waited for the food to be cooked, they sat at the table and started to eat. Every time Xin Jian ate a dish, he would praise Tong Yi, although it was not as delicious as he said. He also praised Tong Yi as full of a sense of accomplishment. The person who eats knows how to be grateful. What could satisfy the cook more than this.By the time the rice cooker dinged, they had almost finished their food.

Xin Jian's appetite was average, and he ate two bowls of rice with seaweed soup and steamed fish, while Tong Yi hadn't finished his rice, and the food was gone, so he opened a bottle of Laoganma, Xin Jian looked at Laoganma, Feeling very cordial: "It turns out that this is also sold here, I will try it too."

Tong Yi resolutely refused: "No, you have an ulcer, this is definitely not edible."

Xin Jian didn't insist, anyway, he wasn't very interested in spicy food, so he looked at Tong Yi across the table with his chin in his hand: "I think cooking seems to be very simple, I'll try it next time, and I'll make a meal for you. You try it."

"Okay, you can try it tonight." Tong Yi is also looking forward to Xin Jian being able to cook a meal for herself. If she learns it, the two of them can cook together. That day will be so beautiful. Every day is a good day.
