In summer like autumn

Wen Qiu heard from Mo Jingyi that Xia Yiqun originally planned to go abroad for further studies, but for some reason he suddenly changed his mind and stayed in China for a combined master's and doctoral degree.

When Wen Qiu heard about this, the first half of the semester was already at the end.For senior students, even if they start preparing materials for applying to foreign universities from this time, it may be too late to catch up with the fall semester of the second year.

Wen Qiu was in a hurry, so he went to the physics department to find Xia Yiqun without further ado.

Xia Yiqun and his brothers and sisters had just walked out of the laboratory building when they saw Wen Qiu standing at the door, looking very angry.

"Hey, is your precious junior coming to date you again?" Brother Zhang joked.The senior brother actually doesn't know their real relationship, but he just heard that they are high school alumni and have joined the same club. He thinks it's normal for the two to have a better relationship, so he doesn't suspect it.

Xia Yiqun said goodbye to the seniors, then walked towards Wen Qiu: "What's the matter? Who offended you?"

"It's you!" Wen Qiu said angrily, "Why did you give up going abroad? You didn't tell me about such a big thing!"

"I don't think it's necessary." Xia Yiqun laughed.

"But your appearance makes me feel that it is because of me that you gave up studying abroad!" Seeing Xia Yiqun's calm attitude, Wen Qiu became anxious, "Didn't you always talk about the research conditions in the United States?" Is it the most advanced? Since you have the strength, why don’t you go? Don’t worry about me, you should pursue your ideals, even if it takes five or ten years, I will wait for you!”

Xia Yiqun pressed Wen Qiu's shoulder, and said to him solemnly: "Listen, Wen Qiu, you didn't influence my decision. The reason why I stay in school is because Professor Wang's project is more promising now. I have always been interested in the research direction. Going abroad is not my ultimate goal, but being able to make achievements in research is what I pursue.”

Wen Qiu originally came here with the intention of teaching Xia Yiqun a lesson, but Xia Yiqun calmly told him the facts and reasoned, and he punched the cotton instead.He still stood there with an angry face, but he couldn't find the steps, and he became even angrier.

"Look, if I stay in China, I can do the research I'm interested in, and I can also be with you. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" After getting along for a long time, Xia Yiqun probably knows how to make Wen Qiu happy, so he added, "If I I’m going abroad in autumn, so I can’t help you celebrate your birthday.”

After hearing Xia Yiqun's words, Wen Qiu was no longer angry.

After Wen Qiu helped Xia Yiqun celebrate his birthday last year, Xia Yiqun thought that he should reciprocate.He felt that Wen Qiu's name had the word "Autumn" in it, probably because his birthday was in autumn.When the National Day holiday was over, Xia Yiqun remembered this, and asked Wen Qiu insincerely: "You have the word Autumn in your name, is it because you were born in Autumn?"

"No, I was born in summer. To be precise, I stepped on the tip of summer's tail. There is no such thing as autumn." Wen Qiu replied, "Don't ask me why, anyway, I Mom said that this word was decided before I was born, probably because she likes this word? I was also guessing."

It turned out that more than a month had passed since Wen Qiu's birthday. Xia Yiqun felt a little regretful, but promised to help him celebrate next year.

"What about the year after? What about the year after?" Wen Qiu pestered Xia Yiqun, chirping like a little sparrow, asking non-stop.

"No matter where I am, I will rush over to accompany you when it's your birthday, okay?"

In a blink of an eye, it is the season of warm spring and flowers blooming again.Wen Qiu calculated that he and Xia Yiqun had been together for a full year.Wen Qiu still insisted on living on campus, and on days when the two of them were not busy, he would come to the house and hang out with Xia Yiqun to kill time.

When he first started this kind of life, Wen Qiu always volunteered to cook, claiming to be the master of the family, standing in the kitchen with his hips akimbo, and giving orders to Xia Yi.His parents are not around all year round, and he has to take care of the unreliable Xia Yuhui. Xia Yiqun's craftsmanship is actually better than Wen Qiu's.That day, Wen Qiu had a headache and stayed in bed all day, and Xia Yiqun took care of all three meals a day. Wen Qiu finally realized this, so he quickly retreated to the second line and gave up the throne.

Xia Yiqun's status in the kitchen was improved, and he immediately put on the face of a turned serf singing, and made Wen Qiu around.Wen Qiu completely gave up resistance, and took great pleasure in helping Master Spoon.

Xia Zhangshao stood by the pot, just stretched out his hand without turning his head:

"Wen Qiu, Yan!"

"Yes!"

"Wen Qiu, soy sauce!"

"Give!"

"Wen Qiu, garlic cloves!"

"Take it!"

"Wen Qiu, Wen Qiu?...Hey, why are you holding my hand? Give me that!"

"Which one will I give you? If you don't tell me, how will I know. Don't you just call my name? Then I have to give you myself!"

"..."

Xia Yiqun likes to stay at home, sitting on the sofa and staring at the computer.Sometimes when I need to finish my homework or write a thesis, I will clap the keyboard.At this time, Wen Qiu would bring two cups: the blue cup belonged to Xia Yiqun, usually filled with tea; the yellow cup belonged to Wen Qiu, which contained coffee.Wen Qiu loves to drink coffee, to the point of being a bit addicted.

The styles of the two cups are exactly the same, they were specially picked by Wen Qiu when he took Xia Yiqun to the supermarket.Every time he finished using the cups, Wen Qiu would scrub them until they were shiny, wishing he could see the shadows of the people, and after making sure there was no stain, he would put them back on the shelf with satisfaction.

One day Wen Qiu put down the cup as usual, Xia Yiqun didn't even look at it, he picked it up and drank it, but after taking a sip of coffee, his brows immediately frowned.

"I don't drink this!" Xia Yiqun said.

Wen Qiu smiled and said, "Hey! You're quite stubborn!"

"I really don't like drinking!" Xia Yiqun repeated.

Since Xia Yiqun and Wen Qiu dated, the two had never had a quarrel.Seeing Xia Yiqun's attitude, Wen Qiu knew that he was a little annoyed, so he changed the tea back to him.

Wen Qiu didn't pay much attention to this matter, but felt that everyone should be a little paranoid to some extent, and Xia Yiqun was no exception.

Since then, Wen Qiu has been honest, making tea in blue cups and coffee in yellow cups.He put the cup on the coffee table, took a book in his hand, and sat on the other side of the sofa to read. Over time, he became a habit. These actions are often done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

The two of them just sat on the left and the right, and they could sit from noon until it was getting dark.They all enjoyed this time very much, quietly, as if nothing in the outside world had anything to do with them, as if time had stopped flowing.

Xia Yuhui's documentary has entered the preliminary stage of preparation, the work of each group is in full swing, and Wen Qiu has become a little busier.He bought several editions of "Around the World in Eighty Days", both in the original text and in Chinese translation, as well as some related materials. big ben.

Xia Yuhui showed the notes to several experts. At first, everyone couldn't believe that it was written by an undergraduate student in the Department of Literature.After reading it, they all praised the awesome young people.

"How is it? Great? This is my brother, of course he is very talented!" Xia Yuhui always introduces Wen Qiu to people like this, and it has been passed down for a long time. He is a real brother, Xia Yiqun, who is like a real brother, looks like an irrelevant person.

Wen Qiu originally thought that Xia Yuhui would stay in Shanghai for a few more days this time, and that the two brothers could celebrate their birthday together this year.In the end, two days before his birthday, Director Xia was suddenly ordered to go to Tibet, and Wen Qiu's big plan fell through.

That night, Xia Yiqun and Wen Qiu got bored together on the sofa.Xia Yiqun held Wen Qiu in his arms, stroked his hair one after another, but heard Wen Qiu sighing there.

"Isn't my brother busy just now, and I didn't intend to let you go." Xia Yiqun comforted, "Besides, this year won't work. Let's call him next year. He won't be free every year."

"Yeah." Wen Qiu was extremely melancholy.

Xia Yiqun intentionally teased Wen Qiu: "Comrade Wen Qiu, can you reveal this year's program in advance? At home? Or where should we go?"

Wen Qiu looked at Xia Yiqun, obviously hooked: "Where do you want to go?"

"Speaking of which, the two of us haven't hung out together yet." Xia Yiqun said, "Now that I've finished my defense, I'm just waiting for graduation. If your time allows, I think we can consider going to nearby places.—— Coincidentally, you can also take the first step to travel around the world."

Wen Qiu buried his face on Xia Yiqun's body, then arched Xia Yiqun's chin with the top of his head, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay!"

Xia Yiqun sighed: "It's so fast, I'm 22 this year, so I've already reached the legal marriage age."

"Hey, you're a science guy in a white coat sitting in a laboratory, and you know the legal age for marriage!" Wen Qiu laughed out loud, hitting Xia Yiqun's chest with his forehead, "Hurry up and tell the truth, who do you want to marry!"

Xia Yiqun was hit hard by Wen Qiu: "Anyway, according to the law, I can already get married. I can marry whoever I like. You, a minor, can't control it!"

Wen Qiu suddenly stopped laughing, sat up instead, looked Xia Yiqun directly in the eyes: "You wait for me."

"what?"

"You don't want to marry someone else. You wait for me, and when I reach the legal age of marriage, I will marry you." Wen Qiu said to Xia Yiqun solemnly, but in a blink of an eye, he lost his formality and stretched out his hand to scratch Xia Yiqun's neck, " I want to marry you!"

Xia Yiqun grabbed Wen Qiu's claws, turned over suddenly, and pushed him down beside the sofa: "You dare to marry me? I want you to see who married whom!"

Wen Qiu hit the ground on the back of his head, caught off guard and suddenly felt dizzy.Xia Yiqun saw that his expression was not good, so he quickly stopped his movements.

Xia Yiqun went to the bathroom to take a shower, and finally calmed down his desire.When he returned to the bedroom, Wen Qiu lay on the bed with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry."

"It's nothing." Xia Yiqun looked at him with only a pair of eyes exposed from under the quilt, with a pitiful look, and said, "It's you, are you more comfortable? I think you are too tired to check information recently, and you follow Xia Yuhui every day They are so desperately busy until after 12 o'clock. Don't work so hard."

"I checked those materials voluntarily, and it's none of your business." Wen Qiu said, "By the way, speaking of it, I want to turn to European and American literature in the future, do you think it's okay?"

"As long as you like."

Chatting in low voices one after another, and I don't know how long it took, the voices of the two gradually became quieter, and both of them fell asleep.
