In summer like autumn

After arriving in the United States, Xia Yiqun quickly found a one-bedroom house, which was very close to the school.

The furniture was all ready-made, Xia Yiqun put the luggage in the house, and went out to buy daily necessities.When we got back to our residence, it was already getting late.

Xia Yiqun called Xia Yuhui while packing his luggage.He had already paid the rent for his residence in Shanghai until the spring of the next year, and he would continue to live there after returning to China, so he wanted to ask Xia Yuhui to live there when he went to Shanghai, and help him take care of the house by the way.

"There are only so few things in your house, what else is there to take care of?" Xia Yuhui said disgustedly on the other end of the phone.

"That's right." Xia Yiqun thought for a while, "No, there is a pot of spider plants on the balcony. Please help me look at it."

"We are really brothers! I'm looking at that Chlorophytum!" Xia Yuhui said, "It looks really good."

The two brothers were silent for a while.They usually have nothing to say on the phone except to report that they are safe.

"Yiqun, can I tell you something?" Xia Yuhui obviously had been planning for a long time.

Xia Yiqun replied, "Say it."

"Then don't be angry when you hear it, and don't regret it." Xia Yuhui assured Xia Yiqun.

"I'm neither angry nor regretful! Okay? Tell me now! What's the matter? Make it so mysterious!" Xia Yiqun laughed, "It's not like your style at all, Director Xia!"

"I like Wen Qiu." Xia Yuhui's tone was very calm, "I want to chase him."

"Whatever you want." Xia Yiqun's tone was quite calm.

After the two brothers had a cordial and friendly talk about this matter calmly, they talked about other trivial matters before putting down the phone.

Xia Yiqun's smile froze on his face, but he didn't notice it.

Xia Yuhui called him, and even seldom got involved with his grandparents, parents, but he took the initiative to bring up Wen Qiu, which Xia Yiqun didn't expect.

On the first day in the United States, Xia Yiqun suddenly heard Xia Yiqun mention the name Wen Qiu, and almost couldn't react.Even though it was only a few days before their quarrel, Xia Yiqun felt a great sense of strangeness to this name.

What Xia Yiqun didn't expect was that Xia Yuhui actually said that he liked Wen Qiu and wanted to pursue Wen Qiu, and told Xia Yiqun not to be angry or regret it.

What's there to be angry about, I don't have anything to do with him anymore.

Xia Yiqun thought, the relationship between himself and this person is really so weak, it can last for a few days, if Xia Yuhui didn't mention it, he would have almost forgotten about this person.

The experiments that Xia Yiqun participated in were not all smooth sailing, and the progress was fast and slow.Therefore, it is relatively easy sometimes, and sometimes I have to work overtime.

Autumn in the United States is already deep, and a thick layer of autumn leaves has fallen on the ground, and it will make a sound when you step on it.

It was rare to be able to go back early today, so Xia Yiqun walked to the apartment along the gradually familiar road as usual.

A teenage boy ran past him with a stack of books in his arms, accidentally brushing his arm, and one of the books happened to fall.

Xia Yiqun called him to stop and helped him pick up the book.Looking at the cover, I found that it was an out-of-print "Around the World in Eighty Days".Xia Yiqun felt that he was a strange thing among science students. When he saw a literary masterpiece, he would pay attention to the edition of the book, making him look like a student of the literature department.

"Your book." Xia Yiqun returned the book to the boy with a smile. Seeing him patting and patting the book so preciously, he couldn't help saying, "It seems that you like this book very much."

"Yes, this book is very cool." The boy thanked Xia Yiqun, and skipped away.

This conversation suddenly gave Xia Yiqun a very familiar feeling.

Ah yes.Xia Yiqun knew a fan of this book.He not only loves to collect various versions, but also often whispers in Xia Yiqun's ears: which is the most classic translated version, and how much a certain out-of-print version was fired for.Over time, Xia Yiqun became familiar with all these things.

Xia Yiqun was thinking about "Around the World in Eighty Days" all the way.

Back at the apartment and pushing open the door, a little disappointment crept from the bottom of my heart.The place that Xia Yiqun rented was somewhat similar to the residential layout in Shanghai.When he opened the door, he always felt that the light in the living room should be on.Then he changed his shoes, walked in, and saw a copy of "Around the World in Eighty Days" or other books spread out on the dining table.The notebook next to it is also spread out, and a pen is writing lines of elegant and handsome handwriting wantonly. The finger holding the pen is white and slender, and the owner of the finger will raise his head at this time, and use a gentle expression. The voice asked the last sentence: "Are you back?" Stand up, turn around and go to the kitchen.Supper is ready, and it's all served in bowls.There may be one or two big dishes that haven't been cooked yet, but the ingredients must be ready, just waiting for him to cook.

However, Xia Yiqun pushed open the door, but the light in the living room was not on.He walked in without changing his shoes. There were no books on the dining table, and naturally there would be no notebooks.There are no pens, and no one holding a pen.The kitchen was also dark, except for the slight sound of the refrigerator, which became the only sound in the silent room, and it was exceptionally clear.

The whole house was pitch black and there was nothing.This was natural, but Xia Yiqun was still a little disappointed.

There is nothing to eat in the refrigerator.Xia Yiqun always felt that there was no one at home. When he opened the refrigerator, at least there should be various neat fresh-keeping boxes inside, which were filled with all kinds of side dishes.Occasionally, a note is pasted on some boxes, with flamboyant handwriting, which simply says "this must be heated before eating".

Xia Yiqun reluctantly took his wallet, planning to go out and buy something to eat.When he went out, the bleak autumn wind suddenly swept across the street.

When he arrived in the United States for just one month, Xia Yiqun suddenly felt a certain sense of disappointment. Starting from a certain point, this sense of disappointment gradually filled every corner of the room.He felt that it was all the book that was doing it.

Universities in the United States have a custom of having autumn vacation.Gu Zhihang had long planned to follow David to Miami to learn surfing, and he kindly invited Xia Yiqun to join them, but Xia Yiqun declined because he didn't want to be a light bulb.

Xia Yiqun rented a car by himself and took a self-driving trip along the west coast of the United States this fall.He started from San Francisco and headed south along Highway 1, stopping and stopping along the way.Sometimes it's a typical American town, sometimes it's a stunning California beach.Sleeping in a motel at night, and sometimes chatting with backpackers at the campsite.

After seeing the natural scenery, he arrived in Los Angeles as planned.Xia Yiqun suddenly felt that there was no point in planning a trip according to the strategies on the Internet.So he turned the steering wheel and headed to Las Vegas.Xia Yiqun didn't like the luxury and money in the casino, he just walked around and continued to the Grand Canyon.

Cross the desert and finally reach the Grand Canyon.Xia Yiqun stood in the air corridor, the wind in the valley howled, blowing his forehead into a mess.

The scenery of the Grand Canyon is really magnificent.Xia Yiqun couldn't help but took out his camera and took a picture of the scene in front of him.He walked and took pictures all the way, seeing that the memory card was almost full.He found a big rock on the edge of the cliff and sat down to rest his feet, looked down at the photos, looked at them, and said to himself: "I really should show him."

If he saw it, he would definitely feel envious and jealous again, maybe he would stretch out his hand to scratch himself, blaming himself for not taking him out to play.

Yes, Wen Qiu is such a person.

When Wen Qiu first mentioned the dream of traveling around the world to Xia Yiqun, they were still in high school.That day when they were in Gu Zhihang's room, Xia Yiqun was a little drunk and sat on the floor, listening to Qiu tirelessly talking about his big plan to travel around the world.Judging from his tone, it should be a great wish he made since childhood.

Many people will forget their original dreams after they grow up. It is better to give up than to forget, even though the dream can be realized.Wen Qiu has been living in Shanghai since he was a child except for Jiangbei. He is already 21 years old and has never left his own circle of life. He does not know when his wish to travel around the world will come true.But until he went to college, Wen Qiu still talked about this matter, obviously he has not forgotten this original intention.

In the third month in the United States, Xia Yiqun suddenly remembered his dream.How can there be people in the world who are so persistent in their dreams?How much courage does it take to persevere?Xia Yiqun didn't know the answer.

He only knew that among the people he knew, the only one who had not changed his original intention so far was Wen Qiu.
