In summer like autumn

The house Li Cheng and Wen Liping bought in Shanghai is not far from University A. His stepfather asked repeatedly to let Wen Qiu go to school, but Wen Qiu considered that his younger brother was just born, and many places needed to be taken care of by his parents. To increase the burden on parents, they choose to live on campus and occasionally go home to live.

Living on campus has its advantages, and Wen Qiu can quickly integrate into university life.Over the years, Wen Qiu has grown taller, becoming a handsome young man.Thanks to the club activities in high school, his personality is also much more cheerful and lively.There are relatively few boys in the Faculty of Arts, and boys like Wen Qiu are even rarer.So as soon as he entered the school, he became a popular person in the college, and he was indispensable in the welcome party and various activities.

That day, Mo Jingyi happened to bring some books to Wen Qiu, and from a distance, she saw Wen Qiu surrounded by a group of girls, like stars holding the moon.Wen Qiu saw Mo Jingyi coming, but couldn't get away for a while, so he looked at her helplessly.Mo Jingyi didn't help him out either, she just stood at the door with a smile on her face, as if she was watching a play.

Wen Qiu finally said goodbye to his classmates, and then walked towards Mo Jingyi.

"Here, I brought you the few books I mentioned last time." Mo Jingyi looked at the group of girls and said with a smile, "It's really good, so many beautiful girls love to hang around you. The flowers are becoming more and more charming. How are you doing? Did you fancy any one? Wen Xiucai also has spring.”

"Don't keep making fun of me, I have someone I like." Wen Qiu said seriously.

"Who is who!" Mo Jingyi's gossip radar quickly turned on, looking around.

"That person isn't here." Wen Qiu smiled shyly, "I haven't caught up yet. When I catch up with him, you'll know."

"Hey, are you still playing mystery with me?" Mo Jingyi patted Wen Qiu's head carelessly, "It's fine if you don't say anything, and you must be the first to tell me when the revolution succeeds. Forgive you, a monkey head, and you won't be able to escape." Out of my old lady's palm!"

"Ouch!" Wen Qiu protested, rubbing his head, "Senior sister, can you be a little more ladylike? It's too hard!"

Wen Qiu originally thought that he would be able to reunite with Xia Yiqun if he was admitted to University A, but he had to wait half a year to see Xia Yiqun.He learned that Xia Yiqun had gone to the United States, thinking that he had already suffered from lovesickness for two years, and he didn't mind waiting another half a year.During this period, he still kept the habit of writing emails to Xia Yiqun, but Xia Yiqun didn't even reply to a single letter.

Wen Qiu didn't know that Xia Yiqun deleted the emails he wrote without even reading them.

The night Xia Yiqun and Gu Zhihang had a quarrel, they moved out of Gu Zhihang's house.It's really not a good idea to live there, seeing Gu Zhihang and her boyfriend sweetly, Xia Yiqun felt that he would suddenly lose his mind again at some point.

Finding an apartment near the school to live in, Xia Yiqun began to concentrate on doing some basic research work with Professor Wang's friend for many years—Professor Peterson, an authority in the field of physics.He spends all day in the library and laboratory, and has a full schedule. He doesn't dare to stop, not even for a second, for fear that once he stops, he can't stop thinking about Gu Zhihang , Let him be swallowed by that huge sense of loss.

The half-year period finally arrived, Xia Yiqun greeted the landlord, packed up his things, and drove to the airport by car.This time, he did not tell Gu Zhihang about the itinerary.Although they had been arguing to the point of quarreling before, but with Gu Zhihang's temperament, he would probably go see him off, maybe that David would go with him.Xia Yiqun wasn't sure if he could face the two of them calmly, and it might be a better choice to leave without saying goodbye.

Sitting on the bus to the airport, Xia Yiqun turned on his mobile phone, called his grandparents, and then sent text messages to his parents and brother.After doing this, he opened the email and found that there were unread emails in the inbox again, and the sender was still a string of email addresses.

Xia Yiqun didn't save this contact, but he knew it was Wen Qiu. ——For two years, he has been familiar with this address.

Xia Yiqun wanted to delete the letter directly as usual.He didn't know what he was thinking at that time, the movement of his hands paused, he didn't press delete, but instead opened the letter accidentally.

There was a familiarity in Wen Qiu's letter, as if the two of them had corresponded for a long time and he was just writing a reply to Xia Yiqun, the tone was quite natural.

Xia Yiqun liked Wen Qiu's writing style.Influenced by the Department of Literature, compared with half a year ago, I am more particular about the choice of words and sentences, and I am not sloppy, and I can tell the situation of myself and the friends around me vividly in a few words.Finally, he asked about Xia Yiqun's current situation in the United States.

Having not contacted anyone for too long, Xia Yiqun felt that his heart was colder than this long winter night.He lowered his head, the light from the phone screen illuminated his face, Wen Qiu's letter was like a cluster of flames in the cold night, it seemed insignificant, but it gave Xia Yiqun great comfort at this moment.

For the first time in half a year, he wrote back to Wen Qiu:

"Everything is fine, I will return home soon."

Wen Qiu received Xia Yiqun's reply letter for the first time since he entered university, and since then he has been anxious every day.He didn't know what day the "day" was, and he didn't know what flight the "return to China" was on. After asking around, no one knew, not even Gu Wendong.

One day after New Year's Day, just as Wen Qiu came out of the library, he met Gu Wendong hurrying towards the school gate.Wen Qiu rushed up to ask Gu Wendong if he was looking for Mo Jingyi, but Gu Wendong left without saying a word, as if ignoring his words.

Seeing Gu Wendong's dark face, Wen Qiu couldn't speak any more, so he had to give up.Turning around, he saw a figure that he was very familiar with standing under the ginkgo tree.

Xia Yiqun.

Wen Qiu called out "Senior Xia" and ran over overjoyed.When he got closer, he found that the corners of Xia Yiqun's lips were bruised and slightly bleeding.

Wen Qiu faintly felt that the injury had something to do with Gu Wendong.

Wen Qiu's intuition was very accurate.Gu Wendong didn't come to look for Mo Jingyi today, but specially asked Xia Yiqun to meet at school. After the meeting, he raised his fist and greeted Xia Yiqun's face without saying a word.Xia Yiqun didn't dodge either, Ren Gu Wendong beat him up, and his face immediately became smug.

"Xia Yiqun, it's fine if you're gay, why did you provoke my brother and lead him down this path. Are you fucking human?" Gu Wendong pushed Xia Yiqun.

Xia Yiqun found out about the relationship between Gu Zhihang and David, and he thought to himself that sooner or later, his family would know about it anyway, instead of letting Xia Yiqun tell it, he might as well tell it by himself.The parents definitely couldn't accept it, so Gu Zhihang called Gu Wendong first.On the phone, he told his brother all the things that happened in these years, even what happened between Xia Yiqun and himself, secretly hoping that his brother could understand him to some extent.Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Wendong heard that Gu Zhihang had found a gay man, he jumped up in anger, and heard words like "going to America", "classmates", "Xia Yiqun" intermittently, and dropped the phone without understanding the cause and effect at all.

Gu Zhihang suddenly decided to go to the United States to study, and he had always been reluctant before, and his attitude changed just during the time when he had disputes with Xia Yiqun; after Gu Zhihang went to the United States, he had the opportunity to talk to Xia Yiqun several times , all put on an attitude of avoiding suspicion, but couldn't help but ask Xia Yiqun's recent situation on the sidelines.Every time others mentioned Gu Zhihang, Xia Yiqun's attitude would subtly change; when Xia Yiqun recommended him, he put away a lot of good majors and chose only majors that could go to the United States, and they were exactly the same as Gu Zhihang's majors.

Gu Wendong connected all the bits and pieces of memories about these two people, and immediately decided that Gu Zhihang was abducted by Xia Yiqun to become gay, and his precious brother's current lover was Xia Yiqun.

Facing Gu Wendong's questioning, Xia Yiqun wiped the corner of his mouth: "What happened back then is true, I don't intend to apologize, I don't think I'm provoking Xiaohang, I really like him. But we are not together, his current The lover is not me, but an American named David."

"You..." Gu Wendong was furious, pointing at the tip of Xia Yiqun's nose, "Xia Yiqun, Xia Yiqun, if you hadn't led Xiaohang onto this evil path, would he have been with men? I'm with you Bai has been a brother for so many years! If Xiaohang is ruined by this matter, you can't get away with it!"

Xia Yiqun looked at Gu Wendong's leaving back.

The brotherhood of so many years was ruined, and he really became a lonely family.

Xia Yiqun returned to his off-campus residence, which was still the house of Gu Wendong's relatives, and he lived there to concentrate on preparing for the exam abroad.

Thinking of the fact that all the motivation for studying abroad was to meet Gu Zhihang, but now that motivation is gone, Xia Yiqun has been lost all the way.

Wen Qiu didn't know what to do, but he was very worried about Xia Yiqun's situation.Xia Yiqun was striding forward, but Wen Qiu barely managed to catch up.He chased all the way like this, and followed Xia Yiqun back to his residence.

No matter what Ren Wenqiu asked, Xia Yiqun didn't say a word, but let Wenqiu follow him into the door anyway.

Wen Qiu rummaged around for a while, then turned around and ran out.Xia Yiqun looked at him and didn't say much.

Wen Qiu came back soon, out of breath, with things like cotton and disinfectant in his hand.Wen Qiu no longer asked Xia Yiqun anything, but pushed him to sit on the sofa, knelt down in front of him, and helped him treat the wound on the corner of his mouth.

Xia Yiqun looked down at Wen Qiu.From now until now, Xia Yiqun has not looked at Wen Qiu carefully.After one or two years, Wen Qiu's facial features are longer and open, and he is a good-looking person. His hair is shaved short and full of vitality.His eyebrows and eyes still have the shadow of Gu Zhihang, but after a long time, you will find that the two are not so similar.

Xia Yiqun didn't know how Wen Qiu got into University A, and wondered how this kid could be so annoying, why did he keep dangling in front of his eyes.

"It will definitely be swollen tomorrow. If someone sees it, you will inevitably have to ask a few questions. Just say that you fell." Wen Qiu carefully wiped off the blood with a cotton swab, while tilting his head to look at it, "You It took a terrible fall to fall like this, it is definitely a dog eating mud."

Wen Qiu smiled, lost the weight of his hand, and Xia Yiqun gasped from the poke.

Wen Qiu raised his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Does it hurt? Don't move, I'll just take it easy."

It was this upward look that brought Xia Yiqun's thoughts back to that day.At Gu Wendong's house, Wen Qiu was also so close, when he was defenseless, he suddenly grabbed his collar and kissed him.

Xia Yiqun suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "You little brat, do you still like me now? Have you not given up yet?"

After the meeting, Xia Yiqun remained silent, but the first thing he said was to ask this.Wen Qiu really didn't expect that the movement of his hands stopped.

Xia Yiqun leaned on the sofa: "Look, people are subject to change. You were just impulsive at the time, how about it? Do you feel disgusted to like a man now? It doesn't matter, there is still time to turn around now."

It's still too late for you to turn around, but I don't know how to turn around.

When Xia Yiqun said this, he covered his eyes, unable to see any emotion.

Wen Qiu could hear the disappointment in his tone, put down the things in his hands, stood up, and said, "I told you to wait for me, senior."

Wen Qiu answered without any hesitation.Now it was Xia Yiqun's turn to be surprised, he put down his hands and looked at Wen Qiu.

"I was admitted to University A. I thought I would never pass the exam in my life, but I am here now." Wen Qiu said solemnly, "I said I would chase you, so I walked here step by step .I am not impulsive, and my mind has not changed in the past two years. Senior, I like you."

Wen Qiu stood still between Xia Yiqun's legs, bent down, held his face and kissed him.He closed his eyes and kissed carefully, for fear of touching the wound on the corner of Xia Yiqun's mouth.His fingertips were trembling slightly, thinking that Xia Yiqun would definitely get angry again, and he might be beaten out by Xia Yiqun in the next second.

This time, Xia Yiqun did not push him away, but raised his right hand, pressed Wen Qiu's back of the head, and responded to his kiss.

Wen Qiu was startled, opened his eyes, and looked at Xia Yiqun who was right in front of him in astonishment.
