love in a dream

29

"You don't want to be so nice to me."

I will become more and more greedy, and I will not even want to refuse.

Of course, Tao Zhile didn't say the last sentence.

Jiang Xian looked at him quietly for two seconds before saying, "What? Are you still under psychological pressure?"

"Yeah." Tao Zhile nodded, and said, "I don't have any money to return to you."

Jiang Xian chuckled, "You don't need to pay back the money, I'll give it to you, if you insist on paying it back, well... you can pay something else..."

The sudden ringtone interrupted what he was saying, Jiang Xian took out the phone from his pocket, the smile on his face faded a bit, Tao Zhile didn't ask for anything.

"Mom?...What's the matter so late?...Well, I'm going back right away." Jiang Xian hung up the phone, put the roller skates back into the bag, and said to Tao Zhile, "Let's go."

"En." Tao Zhile was going to pick up the paper bag, but Jiang Xian didn't give it to him, so he had no choice but to give up.

The west gate of Zeda University is close to the postgraduate apartment. It is a relatively secluded entrance with few people, only a few street lamps and camphor trees that are far apart.

After changing the shoes, Tao Zhile's ankle felt much better, the irritability that lingered after drinking was disappearing, and he didn't feel any dissatisfaction when he stepped on a rock and was called a fool by Jiang Xian.

The two walked silently under the tree shadows and lights. In their consistent footsteps, there were only the rustling of leaves and the occasional chirping of insects.

"Was it your mother's call just now?" Tao Zhile suddenly asked.

Jiang Xian gave a soft "hmm".There was another silence.Tao Zhile keenly felt that Jiang Xian's mood seemed to be a little depressed.Thinking of Jiang Xian's life separated from his parents since he was a child, and Jiang Xian's sad appearance in his dream, Tao Zhile suddenly overflowed with sympathy.

"You should miss your mother very much."

Hearing this, Jiang Xian looked sideways at Tao Zhile in a little surprise, and heard him say again: "I saw that you looked very sad in your dream."

Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows: "What the hell? You haven't sobered up yet."

"Don't try to deny it, I've seen it all." Tao Zhile muttered in a low voice, and added: "It's not ashamed to miss my mother. When I was young, my parents were not around, so I would dream of them."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Xian became more and more confused, but he also felt that Tao Zhile seemed...to comfort him.

"Secretly tell you a secret," Tao Zhile said mysteriously, "When my parents just left, I think they secretly cried because of their thoughts."

He added another sentence: "But I hid in the quilt and cried secretly, and my grandma didn't find out. I only cried twice."

Inexplicably hearing Tao Zhile's little secret, Jiang Xian couldn't laugh or cry. Seeing a leaf fall on top of his head, Jiang Xian rubbed his head when he reached out to take a picture, boasting, "You're so cute."

"Although they are not by my side, I still have my grandma with me." Tao Zhile turned to look at him, his eyes were illuminated by the warm orange light, he bent the end of his eyes, and said very seriously:

"So you see, a person's life is so long, some people will leave you for various reasons, but there will definitely be other people who will stay with you, so don't be sad because of this."

What he said was still a bit out of line, and even a little unclear, but it didn't affect Jiang Xian's understanding of the comfort.

Looking at his serious face, Jiang Xian felt very strange.It was strange where Tao Zhile could see that he was sad, and also why she was moved by his inexplicable comfort.

"You should drink less alcohol in the future." Jiang Xian reached out and pinched his cheek, "It's best not to drink with anyone other than me."

Tao Zhile frowned dissatisfied: "Why besides you?"

"There's no reason." Jiang Xian narrowed his eyes seeing his frown deepened, "If you don't listen, I'll tell others the secret you just said."

"Damn it!" Tao Zhile glared at him, "Why are you like this?"

This swearing made Jiang Xian raise his eyebrows slightly, "Yo, you can still say swearing."

Tao Zhile, who was always polite and civilized, pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xian looked at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.As they got along, the kind and docile kid in front of him seemed to become more and more vivid and attracted him more and more.

"Jiang Xian?" A gentle female voice interrupted their naive argument.

The two turned their heads at the same time, and seeing Zhao Yi standing under the streetlight not far away, Jiang Xian let go of his hands and called, "Mom."

Tao Zhile, who was rubbing his numb face with his hands, immediately opened his eyes and asked loudly, "Mom?"

Jiang Xian glanced at him, "You should call Auntie."

Tao Zhile, who was not sober, had a blank mind, looked at Zhao Yi's face that he had only seen 10 minutes ago, and obediently called out "Auntie".

Zhao Yi smiled at him and nodded, then said to Jiang Xian, "I just had dinner nearby, so I stopped by to see you. Did you just go out with your classmates?"

"Ah."

Tao Zhile was still in shock, he never thought that the woman whom he and Li Ziming's father called "Suspected Mistress" with Li Ziming's father just now would be Jiang Xian's mother.

Not abroad?

Why did you suddenly return home?

Then I just comforted Jiang Xian to comfort the loneliness?

If he heard correctly, he did overhear Cheng Ling and Jiang Xian mentioning that Jiang Xian's mother was going to remarry when they were playing rollerblading in the evening.

So he remarried with Li Ziming's father?

Isn't that my sister-in-law?

Jiang Xian is going to call me uncle like Li Ziming?

The dazed Tao Zhile started to think wildly in his mind, and he didn't stop these wild thoughts until his own cell phone rang.He hurriedly took out his mobile phone and walked aside, but didn't notice something falling out of his pocket.

It was He Yaoyu's call, asking why he hasn't returned to the dormitory yet.

Not long after Tao Zhile answered the phone, Zhao Yi planned to leave and asked Jiang Xian to go back to rest early.Jiang Xian didn't leave directly, but took out his mobile phone and called a car, then glanced at Tao Zhile again, before he could speak, Tao Zhile came back to his senses first, hung up the phone and said that he was going back first.

After finishing speaking, he nodded towards the two of them, turned around and left without forgetting to say "Goodbye, auntie."

Zhao Yi watched Tao Zhile walk away, and said with a smile, "Your classmate doesn't look very old, but he is already a graduate student. He should be a pretty smart kid."

"Not a classmate." Jiang Xian said, Tao Zhile who walked into the school probably walked too fast, kicked a stone and staggered a bit, Jiang Xian smiled lowly, caught a glimpse of red on the ground, and said, "Not smart either. , and a little stupid."

Seeing his smile, Zhao Yi was slightly startled, and was soon covered by the night, "It's not a classmate, it's..."

"I don't know yet." Jiang Xian walked over and bent down to pick up the keychain with Iron Man's helmet on it. Looking at Tao Zhile's back as he walked away, Jiang Xian raised his mouth and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Jiang Xian didn't let Zhao Yi go back to Fanghua alone. After all, it was a bit late and she was not safe alone.

The vehicle stopped at No. 1313 Fanghuali, Zhao Yi opened the door, "Are you going back to school? It's too late, you should stay at home tonight."

Jiang Xian pondered for two seconds, nodded, and got out of the car with her.

After moving to the school, Jiang Xian came back twice, because Zhao Yi was considered an elderly pregnant woman, and Jiang Xian specially found an aunt to take care of her. The house was still the same as before he left, but there was indeed a lot of life. .

After entering the door, Zhao Yi poured Jiang Xian a glass of water, "I'm going back to country A next week."

Jiang Xian took it over, said thank you, and asked, "Is the ticket booked? When is it?"

"Saturday." Zhao Yi smiled, "After I leave, you can move back in. If..."

"Mom," Jiang Xian interrupted her, and explained with a smile: "I moved back to school just for convenience, don't think too much about it."

Zhao Yi nodded, with a bitter smile on her lips, "If you are not used to living in the school dormitory, you can buy another apartment near the school. I can take you to see it when I have time in two days."

Zewu's house price is not high, but it's not low either. Zhao Yi didn't just say this casually, saying that she would definitely buy it.

It seems that Jiang Yun's statement that his mother has made a lot of money over the years is true, but Jiang Xian has no idea, just said: "No, the dormitory is pretty good, there are many people, and it's lively."

"That's up to you, you make up your own mind, and you can buy it if you fancy other better locations in the future." Zhao Yi's complexion became lighter, she poured herself a glass of water, and said, "I heard that your school recently Cooperate with DM University in country D to open a new discipline on artificial intelligence?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xian was a little surprised that Zhao Yi would inquire about this, and instead of refusing in a hurry, he listened.

"The development prospect of smart technology is good. However, DM University is not particularly prominent in foreign countries, and the courses it just opened should not be too in-depth. I talked with Professor Nemo of AS University in country A. He thinks that AS University may have more advanced teaching. Some."

"AS is really good." Jiang Xian said, moving the cold water from her hand over, "Don't drink cold water, be careful not to catch a cold."

Zhao Yi frowned, and immediately said: "If you have an idea to go to AS University for further study, I can get a letter of recommendation for you."

"Don't bother," Jiang Xian got up, went to the bar and poured a glass of milk into the microwave, "I don't have that idea, I'm not used to staying in country A."

Looking at Jiang Xian's back, Zhao Yi's face flashed with loneliness, and then she smiled and said, "You have your own ideas, mom doesn't force it."

"By the way, I have something to do on Saturday, so I can't see you off. I'll ask Sister Yun to take you to the airport then." Jiang Xian said.

Zhao Yi looked at him deeply for a long time, without refusing, "Okay."

Ding--

Jiang Xian took out the hot milk and handed it to her, "It's getting late, drink it and go to sleep, it will help you sleep."

While lying on the bed after washing, Jiang Xian suddenly remembered the time when his parents divorced.

At that time, he didn't seem to be very sad, and he accepted it calmly.

He knew very early on that his parents' relationship was not harmonious. His father was often away from home, and his mother was always depressed, and she was not very close to him.

Until Zhao Yi went to the United States, only Jiang Xian and an aunt who took care of him were left in the empty house. At that time, he felt sad, and even complained why Zhao Yi didn't want him and left him here alone .

Later, he was brought home by Jiang Yun. There were uncle, aunt, and Jiang Yun who always quarreled with him.

In fact, what Tao Zhile said was right, some people left, but some people were still with him.

Jiang Xian frowned, picked up the phone from the table, and sent Tao Zhile a WeChat message.Waited for a while without reply.Glancing at the time, Jiang Xian didn't continue to interrupt, but picked up the keychain he picked up again.

In addition to a small Iron Man helmet, there is also a silver badge shaped like a leaf. It's not like metal or plastic. I don't know what it is, but it looks pretty good.

"Little idiot, you have a good eye."

Jiang Xian murmured, held the thing, and fell asleep in a short while.

Opening his eyes again, he suddenly saw a hazy gray mist.
