wake up daydreaming

Half a month after meeting Du Cheng alone, Chen Yuqian ended his internship in the consulting company.

It is true that this job is not heavy and there is no dirty work. Chen Yuqian did learn a lot of things other than textbooks in practice, but when he came to the work station to pack his things on the last day wearing a jacket and overalls instead of a suit and shirt, he didn’t know what to do. Returning the work card to the supervisor, he took a last look at his meticulously combed hair on the card and let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the four months of white-collar life was more like a copy of role-playing, the game of life Finally back to mainline.

After Chen Yuqian returned to school, he spent a week in the swimming pool.It's getting colder, and the number of people in the swimming pool is getting less and less every day. Chen Yuqian is also colder. The colder it is, the longer it takes to swim. Once in the water, it lasts for three or two hours without stopping. Coach Zhao asked him if he would like to swim in the main pool next semester. Item changed to 1500 meters.

It was a joke, but everyone could see that at least until the end of the school year, Chen Yuqian would not look for an internship outside the school.Chen Yuqian finished his credits ahead of schedule, and there are no exams or classes this semester. The first time he went to the teaching building in the past six months was to accompany Yu Zhou to the last class before the exam week. Du Cheng sat on the podium and let the students who were reviewing independently If you have any questions, come up and ask. Chen Yuqian and Yu Zhou are sitting in the last row of the lecture theater. On the surface, there is no movement, but in fact, one hand is fumbling under the table, and the other hand prevents the other party from fumbling under the table.

"Don't move, or you will be discovered by others." This is Yu Zhou's common saying.Obviously, if he doesn't act as a demon, he will be fine, but he wants to secretly touch Chen Yuqian here, rub Chen Yuqian there, and when Chen Yuqian resists, he turns around and beats Chen Yuqian, blaming Chen Yuqian for not cooperating.What else could Chen Yuqian do? He rested his hand on the table and put his hand on his forehead, and reluctantly compromised. He stopped competing with Yu Zhou, and Yu Zhou got off his head. He just stuck his palm on Chen Yu through the sweater. On Qian’s lower abdomen——Chen Yuqian was lured into the classroom by Yu Zhou just after taking a bath in the swimming pool. It was warm, and a tight warmth could be felt through the clothes.

Yu Zhou touched, touched, couldn't put it down.He lowered his volume and told Chen Yuqian a rumor that had been circulated in University of U for many years.The first omega teacher in the physical education department also taught swimming. After joining the job, she tried her best to encourage students of different genders to take swimming lessons together. At first, some omega students were reluctant to go into the water. Most of the time in class was to gather together and whisper.The teacher overheard their chat, nothing more than how to return to the family after graduation, she threw all these omegas into the water without saying a word, the omega cried in the water, saying that they don't need to practice sports, the teacher was even more angry Come out and say that of course they need to practice sports, and one day they will get eight-pack abs, at least it will not hurt too much when they give birth.

Chen Yuqian: "..."

Chen Yuqian felt that the abdominal muscles on his lower abdomen were going to be hurt by Yu Zhou: "Only an omega can have a baby."

"That's right, you are Alpha," Yu Zhou showed an expression of sudden realization, "Your brother is the omega."

Chen Yuqian's Adam's apple twitched, and he glanced at the podium. He didn't know how long Du Cheng had been staring in their direction.

But Yu Zhou only looked at Chen Yuqian all the time: "Did your brother find out the cancer after breaking up with him?"

"Probably, I can't remember." Chen Yuqian replied in a particularly vague manner, and paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Everyone has the right to pursue a better life, right?"

"That's right, but the life of going to high places may not necessarily be better." Yu Zhou lay on the table, his eyes were still full of Chen Yuqian.Chen Yuqian looked down at the handouts that didn't belong to him at all. He seemed to be concentrating on it, but his ears were red to his neck.

Du Cheng did not give Chen Yuqian a chance to ask for justice, and Yu Zhou's comprehensive scores in all courses were above 95. U University’s winter vacation this year was early enough, so Yu Zhou suggested that Chen Yuqian and Chen Yuqian go back to their hometown first, live with grandma for a while, and then go back to see their parents when the Spring Festival is approaching.Yu Zhou is very good at making the old man happy, the more grandma won't let him clean up after dinner, he would go to the sink, even if it's not helpful, he would accompany grandma to wash the dishes, and make grandma grinning by the way. Taking the opportunity to please grandma, ask her if this crooked road treasure is good or not.

"Okay, okay, okay." Within a few days, grandma wished that Yu Zhou could live in the old house.Chen Yuqian poured cold water on her, saying that when Yu Zhou slept on seventeen layers of mattresses, he would feel that the pea at the bottom would be panicked. How could he live in the country for a long time? Well, the urbanization of the countryside in T city is not good, how could it attract so many crooked treasures.

Chen Yuqian couldn't beat grandma in arguing during the day, and couldn't beat Yu Zhou in bed at night.For several consecutive nights, their tossing did not end until two or three o'clock in the morning. Afterwards, Chen Yuqian reflected on his connivance with Zhou, and firmly stated that he would not let him be so presumptuous tomorrow night, otherwise he would not wake up early the next day in a normal spirit. He didn't even agree in advance to go back on that set, relying on his grandma's preference for him, he confidently stated that even if the two of them slept until the afternoon the next day, no one would disturb them.

But Yu Zhou forgot that grandma only went to the vegetable field in the early morning every day, when the dewy fruits and vegetables were the freshest.Chen Yuqian insisted on waking up early in order to help.Yu Zhou is not always helpful, as long as grandma says that the hands of the two of them are the hands of scholars, and there is no need to do farm work, Yu Zhou can always turn the topic to other places, sit with grandma in the corner of the private plot, and watch Chen Yuqian pick it up. For the ingredients to be eaten today, use a hoe to loosen the soil.

Compared with grandma's private land, the farmland not far away is so vast. There are also people working in the fields, which should be for the next spring to sow seeds. A few dogs run wild in the fields, which is quite lively.

Grandma said to Yu Zhou: "Nowadays, there are very few locals farming for a living. The fields in the village have been contracted out by them and outsiders. Only my old woman is still self-sufficient."

Yu Zhou was very surprised: "How much money can you earn from farming, why would someone leave their hometown to become a farmer?"

"You don't understand this. The towns in District U are rich and have a lot of subsidies for agriculture..." Grandma told Zhou in detail, even how much money she gets from the village's old people's association every year. he.There are many fund-raising self-built houses under the name of the Association for the Elderly. Most of the migrants living in this village rent there, and the annual rental income will be returned in the form of dividends to the elderly in the village over the age of 65.It was grandma's turn to be a little proud, and after saying the number of the red envelope, she asked Yu Zhou if it was a good fortune to be an omega of his granddaughter-in-law, and Yu Zhou nodded again and again, agreeing wholeheartedly: "Okay, okay, okay. "

After Chen Yuqian finished loosening the soil, he asked Yu Zhou what he and his grandma had talked about, and why they were all smiling so happily. Yu Zhou tried to trick him, and when he was pressed by him until three days in the morning, he gasped next to his ear. He said that he wanted to celebrate the New Year here, and then he could receive a lucky red envelope from grandma.

Chen Yuqian didn't have time to argue with Yu Zhou, he was tired and sleepy, if it wasn't for the clear rustling sound of shovel rubbing against the concrete floor downstairs outside the window, he would have fallen asleep so dazedly.

But every night after he came to his hometown, every quiet two or three o'clock in the morning, he would hear this rustling sound.The curiosity to find out finally overcame the tiredness and made him walk to the window.Under the bright street lights, a middle-aged male beta was using a shovel to throw the debris that fell out of the trash can into the tricycle beside him, bent over and straightened his back, the hot air from his mouth and nose was as clearly visible under the light as the sound of the shovel .

"It's just that the social division of labor is different." Yu Zhou knew what kind of temperament Chen Yuqian was, and if he looked at it like this, he would probably go downstairs to help.But that's the job of this male beta. Chen Yuqian can help for a day, but what can he change by himself.

Chen Yuqian sat back on the bed silently, and walked away from the window very slowly, very slowly, and he didn't know why it was sore and uncomfortable, or he was disappointed with his attitude.This made Yu Zhou more irritable than ever, and Li Li's arrival the next day pushed this depression to the brink of eruption - when he saw Li Li's surprised face facing him, he knew that Chen Yuqian was in trouble again. Lied to parents.Li Li always thought that her son was still busy with his internship in District U, and would only return home when the Chinese New Year was approaching. If she had known that Chen Yuqian lived in her hometown, she wouldn't need to make a special trip to post new couplets for the old man.

Chen Yuqian had his own reasons: "If my mother hadn't come over suddenly, my grandma wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell her that the two of us are here."

"Yeah, it's not the first time you have concealed my existence from your mother. It was the same way last time at the seaside homestay. You were still sleeping with me one second, and the next second you told your mother on the phone, you Working on projects and writing papers in school, eating in the cafeteria instead of mine..."

Yu Zhou fulfilled his wish and saw Chen Yuqian's face became embarrassing.

He knew that he was in a bad mood and wanted to lose his temper, but he refused to admit it and threw his clothes into the suitcase one by one.Chen Yuqian asked him if he was going to leave, he asked sarcastically, Chen Yuqian didn't seem to want to keep him.

Yu Zhou contributed Oscar-winning acting skills at the dinner table that day, and perfectly played the role of a good classmate, good friend, and good junior.Li Li and his grandma were still regretful after sending him to the co-driver of the pink Wuling mini. They didn't understand why his family suddenly urged him to go back. Yu Zhou smiled, and only Chen Yuqian could understand the yin and yang words after a sigh. : "Maybe some people are getting impatient."

The darkness covered Chen Yuqian's expression.He held the steering wheel without saying a word, did not turn on the navigation, and drove towards the entrance of the village based on his memory. After the vehicle started, the on-board disc automatically played. Parents should support him and recognize him. A child who has not been recognized by his parents can only seek recognition from the outside world, and it is easy to lose his way. If his parents hurt him verbally, they will only push him further and further away, and eventually lead to Irreparably sad—"

It was Yu Zhou who reached out and pressed the pause button.Li Li also mentioned similar remarks at the dinner table tonight. Yu Zhou listened carefully at the time, but now in the car completely changed his face, and said with a sneer: "Your mother is about to become a loyal follower of Director Wang, you should help This master of human nature education will test your mother's learning results, tell her that her son's boyfriend is also an alpha, and see if she will support you and recognize you."

"It's not yet time." Chen Yuqian had a headache, let go of the accelerator and slowed down the car, "And our family situations are different——"

"Where is it different? Isn't it absurd?" Speaking of family, Yu Zhou became even more enthusiastic, "No, it's still a little different. If I had an older brother who died young, my mother wouldn't be so ruthless. I live in his room to erase the traces of his existence."

Chen Yuqian made a sharp turn.

His speed was not fast, but Yu Zhou's body was still slightly off, and his shoulder lightly hit the inside of the door.After a brief silence, he chuckled a few times. He knew that he had guessed right. Chen Yuqian brought so many medals back to his hometown and put them in a specific drawer in his room, not just for storage.

"What are you worried about?" Yu Zhou had more definite evidence. Twenty years ago, the city hospital could still issue paper birth certificates. As long as Yu Zhou gave enough money, he could ask about the secrets of the time without going through many rounds.He gave too much money, and the old nurse who broke the news to him did not forget to tell him that the child had come to him several years ago and asked him the same question.

"You obviously already know—" Yu Zhou's words reached his lips, only to realize that it really takes another courage to tell this fact.He saw Chen Yuqian making frequent turns in order to shut himself up, winding his way into the rented housing area where the distance between streetlights was getting wider and wider. The low beam lights illuminated five meters ahead of the concrete road, Yu Zhou stared at the area illuminated by the orange headlights, and a small figure flashed in front of his eyes.

"Oh, I remembered, it was also during the winter vacation, last year. Because of your family's carelessness, you lost a cat."

"But what did your father do after he knew the cat was gone? He was continuing to play mahjong instead of rushing back to help you find it together. What did you do after you disposed of the body? Sleep, sleep."

Yu Zhou chattered so much that his brain couldn't keep up with his mouth, and his word order was slightly confused.

He is venting his emotions unreservedly, and he is also complaining to Chen Yuqian, obviously you also have emotions, why do you always blame no one, it is always just self-punishing guilt.Chen Yuqian still didn't say a word, but Yu Zhou knew he was listening, otherwise he wouldn't have turned his head to look at him, those dark eyes were so deep that he couldn't see to the bottom; he was also thinking, being overwhelmed by his emotions Infected, he—

He heard the wheels hit something.

Almost at the moment when Chen Yuqian looked sideways, he could only notice out of the corner of his eye a group of small figures rolled and disappeared into the darkness.

He definitely ran over something, but he reacted too late, too late, so that the car drove more than ten meters before slowing down, slowing down, and there was no one in the rearview mirror after stopping, but he Sure, "That's a cat."

He turned his head to the other side as he reached out, "I've got to go back and see—"

"No!" Yu Zhou pulled Chen Yuqian's hand back and held it tightly, arrogant and unquestionable, but his forehead and the tip of his nose were covered with cold sweat, and his body moved uncontrollably in the warm and narrow compartment. trembling.

His excessive nervousness made Chen Yuqian feel unbelievable.

He looked at himself in the rearview mirror again, only to realize that it was his empty eyes and blank expression that made Yu Zhou react like this.

"You can't go back." Yu Zhou asked Chen Yuqian to change places with him, determined to escape, and murmured nervously, "You can't take it, you can't take it..."
