The familiar scene made Xue Dingbang a little nervous.

"Chamberlain, are you okay?" Xue Dingbang replied with a smile, turned around and walked to the small table, "I'm here to pick up my book, I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

Schrödingbang's books have been taken out of the drawer and stacked neatly on the table.There is still his usual pen on the book, and next to the book is Schrödingbang's note.

This was obviously tidied up and tidied up consciously.Some of the notes written by Schrödingbang, the parts that have not been torn off, have been torn.He opened a book calmly, and the folded corners inside were carefully spread out and smoothed.

Xue Dingbang's reading habit is like this. When he reads a book, he will fold the corners and write the date as a mark of the day he saw this place.He glued sticky notes on the books and wrote notes.But not every label will be included in the book.

Every page of these books has been carefully read and examined—although people who read the books may not be able to understand them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xue." Chamberlain jumped off the bed, so nervous that he was at a loss, "I read some creases, so I straightened them. I plan to return your books, and I will go today."

Schrödingbang closed the book, and did not blame Chamberlain for destroying his own mark. "You are very careful, Chamberlain." Xue Dingbang has never been stingy with his praise through his perennial education career. Even when Chamberlain made obvious mistakes, Xue Dingbang did not want to embarrass him. "Are you interested in mathematics?"

"Yes, Mr. Xue." Chamberlain scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I really hope I didn't do superfluous things, these things are too esoteric for me, and I can't understand their meaning. I can only follow the labels colors, and classify them."

Yin Ren, who was standing on the side, finally couldn't help but choked: "You don't look like you have gone to college—I mean, you are quite young. Professor Xue's notes, even his students, may not be able to understand If you mess with his things like this, he will definitely not be able to find them later. To tell you the truth, Dingbang is a very regular man. For decades, even the order in which he brushes each tooth has not changed. changed."

Chamberlain was so embarrassed, the corners of his mouth twitched, every time with sadness: "Sir, I am 21 years old. If possible, I would take the SAT after graduating from high school, but I didn't. My family and the economy The conditions cannot support me to finish college. And I don’t have the advantages of 'minority' in interviews and grant applications. Who told me I am a poor white man?"

"Rules and rules make numbers better and better, don't they?" Schrödingbang stared at Chamberlain with a smile on his face, his gentle eyes did not mean any reprimand, "Chamberlain, I am very glad that you are interested in mathematics. If you If you want to go to college, you still have to take the SAT first. If you can pass, I would like to give you some advice on student loans."

"My God, can't you spare me?" Yin Ren wailed, grabbing Xue Dingbang's arm and pulling him away, "What about getting the book as agreed? Huh? Dingbang, you can't just watch him Talk about it, just say you want to help him! We have other things to do!"

"Yin Ren, don't be nervous. Let's take the books and leave now, okay?" Xue Dingbang comforted in a soft voice, turned his head and put the pile of books under his arm, and only said a few words that were not painful, "Chamberlain, you can stay until the rent is due. I'm going back to New York with Yin Ren tomorrow."

Looking at Xue Dingbang who left without looking back, Chamberlain stood at the door, pinched his thigh, and his nails dug deep into his flesh.

Holding Xue Dingbang's arm, Yin Ren walked quickly.

"If anything is left behind, don't go back and get it!" Yin Ren warned, with a vicious look, looking like he wanted to bite someone, "Did you see the way he looked at you? A man like him, brother can see Too much! Give some color, and you will be entangled. Don't meet him again! Leave him alone! You have done your best!"

Speaking of the latter, Yin Ren almost dragged Xue Dingbang to run in this alley.The June sunshine in Las Vegas dyed Yin Ren's cheeks reddish.Beads of sweat spilled from his forehead and splashed with his movement.

Xue Dingbang was a little funny, but also a little moved.

When Xue Dingbang was still a child receiving elementary and middle school education in China, Yin Ren also dragged him around like this.

At that time, both Yin Ren and Xue Dingbang lived in spacious and beautiful courtyard houses.Buildings full of historical traces and medieval beauty were the deepest thoughts of Xue Dingbang when he was studying alone in the United States.

But now it seems that most of what I miss is not the precipitated history.It's Yoon In, the partner who lived in the good old days.

Xue Dingbang squeezed Yin Ren's hand, slowed down his pace, and at the same time made Yin Ren also slow down.

"I don't really understand, Yin Ren." Xue Dingbang smiled, staring at Yin Ren's face with gentle and soft eyes that can penetrate people's hearts, "I don't understand men like you, teach me, okay?"

Yin Ren's face became even redder.Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the air, maybe it's both, or neither.

The June sun in Las Vegas is dizzying.Every part of Xue Dingbang's body was shining in the sun.

Yin Ren thought that he did not know as much as Xue Dingbang, nor did he know as much as Xue Dingbang.But now, what Yin Ren knows is that Xue Dingbang's slightly joking tone is not annoying.

"He seems to like you very much, and he really does." Facing Xue Dingbang like this, Yin Ren told the truth, "This is what I'm most worried about. Another little gay man is crazy about you, and that magician still Isn't it enough? It's dangerous, Dingbang. Let's avoid it!"

"We will." Xue Dingbang nodded and smiled, his slender eyelashes covered his bright eyes under the sunlight, "Now, let's go back to the hotel. I don't want to go anywhere today, I just want to read some books, okay ?"

Yin Ren would never refuse Xue Dingbang's request.After they returned to the hotel again, the first thing Xue Dingbang did was to lie down on the sofa.

"There is no pillow, and my neck is a little uncomfortable." Only after turning a few pages, Xue Dingbang began to complain, "Yin Ren, my neck hurts."

In the living room, Yin Ren was taking champagne out of the ice bucket.

"Come on, brother will be here soon!" Yin Ren opened the champagne, poured himself a glass, and then frowned, "The steak in this hotel is not bad, but the champagne is not good."

Xue Dingbang propped up his body and watched Yin Ren come around from behind the sofa and sit next to his head.

Everything happened so naturally, Xue Dingbang took Yin Ren's leg as a pillow.Just like the peaceful and beautiful time they spent in New York, in that big house on the Upper East Side.

Xue Dingbang likes to lie down and read books, especially likes to lie down with Yin Ren on his pillow.He didn't read the contents of the book carefully, but almost stubbornly fixed the corners one by one.He works on restoring books that have been altered by others to restore their original appearance.

"Yin Ren, I think the steak you cook is better." Xue Dingbang folded a page of the book, looked too closely at Yin Ren who was watching TV and drinking champagne, "Yin Ren, I really want to eat your steak."

Yin Ren stared at the TV, and brushed Xue Dingbang's hair carelessly with his fingers: "Brother, I'll make it for you. Let's go home tomorrow, and I'll make it for you when I get off the plane."

"Okay!" Xue Dingbang smiled, "I will look forward to it! We will return to New York the day after tomorrow and take the earliest flight."

Yin Ren's hand trembled, almost dropping the cup to the ground. "Dingbang, what are you talking about?" He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, looked down at Xue Dingbang with unbelievable anger, "You want me to change the ticket?"

Xue Dingbang nodded, and lightly poked the bottom of Yin Ren's wine glass with his finger: "Hold the glass firmly, don't drop it. Yin Ren, I want to leave after watching the magic show."

Yin Ren's face darkened, and it took a lot of effort to restrain himself and not drop the champagne glass on the ground on the spot: "Why?"

"Because I want to see it." Xue Dingbang replied confidently, even with a bit of rascal, "Brother Ren, you just treat me as if you love me, and let me go after watching the show. I have thought clearly these days, I I want to accept the invitation of my senior. I will live at home until I officially enter the job. We can go back to the way we were before."

"Will you go back to teach?" Yin Ren's eyes were flowing. This proposal is too tempting. "Will you go home during winter vacation, summer vacation, and festivals?"

"I will stay at home for a long time before I go to the senior sister's group." Xue Dingbang closed the book and closed his eyes gently, "Yin Ren, I have a plan to buy a house in Boston. Then you can come to Boston , there is a place to live when you come. I will also go back to New York and come home to live for a while."

"Well, what else?" Yin Ren rested his hands on his cheeks and listened quietly.

Although Xue Dingbang has been in the United States for more than ten years, he has never planned to settle in the United States.Even teaching at MIT, he just continued to rent the same apartment they rented in college.Xue Dingbang kept the room as it was when Yin Ren was still there, as if Yin Ren was still living there, as if Yin Ren would come back tomorrow.

After leaving school for so many years, Yin Ren only went back once when Xue Dingbang was 28 years old.

Xue Dingbang has always "one foot outward", always thinking about going back to China.If it wasn't for Yin Ren's huge debts, Xue Dingbang had no choice but to sign a ten-year contract. He planned to return to his country as soon as he graduated.

"Also, I want to eat steak." Xue Dingbang grinned brighter than his usual gentle smile, "I also want to hear the pointer of an antique gramophone and the sound of scratching vinyl records."

"Brother will make steak for you!" Yin Ren was a little excited, grabbed Xue Dingbang's shoulder and said, "Brother found a bottle of wine, especially for steak! It was produced in 63, and it was produced by Tem's V&P! When the time comes Brother open it for you to drink!"

"I don't know much about wine, won't it be a waste to give it to me?" Xue Dingbang said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Brother Ren, we will go home the day after tomorrow. After watching the show tomorrow, we will not go back to the hotel, but go directly to the airport. Let's go home .”

The author has something to say:

Xue Dingbang: I don't understand men without you, teach me, okay?

Yin Ren: How do you want my brother to teach you?

Schrödingbang: You can teach me everything.
