power over

After half a century of ups and downs, the door to the basement finally opened.

Yu Zhinian's stuff is inside.

It’s not that much, just some household items that he brought from the previous house that he couldn’t bear to leave behind.

The housekeeper turned on the light, and Yu Zhinian went in to take inventory. There were dishes and cups that hadn't been taken out since they moved in, bundles of old books that were not used, cabinets bought at the home furnishing market, and a small carry-on case.

Before the door of the basement was broken, the servants should have wiped it frequently during cleaning, and the furniture and items did not fall much dust.

After the inventory was finished, Yu Zhinian called the moving company to make an appointment with the moving company, planning to move the things to the cleared house when he came back from M University; he moved the suitcase upstairs, arranged a change of clothes, and stayed overnight Supplies, because he has to be a temporary travel companion with Yang Ke for two days.

Early the next morning, when setting off, Yu Zhinian watched Yang Ke sit in the driver's seat, only to realize that this time Yang Ke was driving by himself without a driver.

He stood by the car, hesitating for a few seconds, Yang Ke pressed the window and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Yu Zhinian shook his head and got into the car.

It takes more than three hours to drive from Heshi to Mengshi, where M University is located. You have to pass the coastal road and bypass a national forest park. It is a road section famous for its beautiful scenery along the way.

On the way, Yang Ke said very little, but he didn't look serious, and music was playing in the car.

Yu Zhinian looked at the sea surface outside the road. The sun was not strong that day, and the sky was white. The transparent blue sea surface did not reflect too much sunlight, and it undulated unobviously, giving people a calm and gentle feeling. A long old photo album cover.

Yu Zhinian felt familiar, but at the same time lost.

He tried not to look at Yang Ke's driving, because it was too similar to Yang Ke's future he imagined when he was taking care of Yang Zhongyun in high school.

Yu Zhinian, who was very idealized at the time and was still a minor, thought that if he and Yang Ke were the closest friends in the future, they might take a short road trip together during the holidays.

Either he or Yang Ke can drive, and go to the desired destination in the sun, on cloudy days, or in the rain.The scenery is as beautiful as in the photo album he bought in the bookstore.

Every place in the photo collection, he wants to go with Yang Ke.

In these six years, Yu Zhinian had some good moments, the day Yang Ke asked him if he wanted to live together.

When he and Yang Ke first lived together, Yu Zhinian briefly imagined that they would spend a honeymoon wherever they wanted - at that time he thought they would finally be together, and Yang Ke accepted his liking.

Although these times are shorter than dreams.Even in Yu Zhinian's short life of more than 20 years, it was insignificantly short.

Even the joy at that time, in the eyes of Yu Zhinian now, is only embarrassing, and he doesn't want to think about it again.

"What are you thinking?" Yang Ke suddenly asked him.

Yu Zhinian's distraction was interrupted by Yang Ke, who lied and said, "I'm trying to discuss something with my senior."

"Why did you drive by yourself today?" Yu Zhinian was afraid of Yang Ke's questioning, so he immediately raised the topic again.

"Open it if you want." Yang Ke said that he didn't say anything.

Yu Zhinian was quiet, and Yang Ke said again: "This road is very famous. If you think it is beautiful, we can drive a little slower on the return trip tomorrow, stop for dinner, and take pictures."

Yang Ke has been very kind to Yu Zhinian these days, but Yu Zhinian knows the reason for this kindness, so he doesn't want Yang Ke to do this.

He thought for a while, and said to Yang Ke, "You don't have to be so nice to me."

Yang Ke was quiet, and didn't say anything until he arrived in Mengshi.

They found a restaurant to have a light meal, and each went to visit the person they had made an appointment with.

Yu Zhinian and his senior have not seen each other for a long time. Before the senior came to teach, he had just finished a field project in an African tribe, and he seemed to be more untidy than before.

He has a bright personality, chatted with Yu Zhinian a lot of interesting things, and talked about a lot of skills.Time flies, without paying attention, the two chatted for more than four hours.The senior had other plans for the evening, so Yu Zhinian made an appointment with him. When the senior came to Heshi, Yu Zhinian would treat him to dinner.

Walking out of the building, Yu Zhinian sent a message to Yang Ke, telling him that the meeting was over, and he took a walk by the lawn of M University.

M University’s vegetation is not as dense as Yu Zhinian’s own school, the sky is pale and slightly gray, not like May, but like January in Ning City, but the air is not so cold, and there is an overwhelming fragrance of spring flowers all around.

Yu Zhinian stood on the path of the lawn for a few minutes, looking at the students in cultural shirts passing by, when a sudden gust of rain came from the sky.

The rain in Mengshi is famous for its elusiveness. Yu Zhinian had never experienced it on the spot, and he was stunned by the rain. For some reason, he stood there without moving until he heard Yang Ke call his name.

He turned his head to look, and Yang Ke walked towards him quickly.

Yang Ke was wearing a well-fitting suit, and suddenly there seemed to be no cold and repulsive expressions on his face. He seemed to be exactly the same as Yang Ke in high school, but he seemed to have grown up.

As if bad things never happened before, they really escaped from Yang Zhongyun, escaped from the big dark house in Ning City, and grew up smoothly and intimately until they were in their 20s.And today was just their normal day.

Yang Ke walked up to Yu Zhinian and said, "No one can move when it rains." He took off his suit jacket and protected Yu Zhinian from the rain: "Let's go."

Yu Zhinian was hugged by Yang Ke and walked to the side of the car. Yang Ke's coat rubbed against his cheek, and the inside of the coat was warm.

Yang Ke opened the car door for him first, and waited for him to sit in before going around the front of the car and coming in by himself.

Yu Zhinian turned to look at Yang Ke, and felt that Yang Ke was more wet than himself. The shoulders and back of the shirt became translucent, sticking to the muscles, and his hair was also wet.

"Let's go to the hotel first." Yang Ke took out two tissues and pressed them gently on Yu Zhinian's face, "Change into clothes."

Yu Zhinian let out a "hmm" and looked at Yang Ke's dark, soaked hair.

When the car started, Yu Zhinian felt a kind of joy that made him feel painful.

He felt that he might be happy at this moment, but at the same time he was suffering.

Yang Ke gave him a reward like a supermarket tasting pack.Yu Zhinian has been queuing for a long time, waiting hopelessly for many years to taste it, and finally got it today, feeling extremely delicious, but he has already learned that formal clothes are not for sale, and will always be out of stock for him.

He looked at Yang Ke.After driving out of the gate of M, Yang Ke turned to look at him and said, "I've been watching what I do."

Yu Zhinian said "You're getting wet".

Yang Ke said "it's okay".He asked, "Are you cold?" Looking ahead, he turned the air conditioner up two degrees, and lifted the suit on Yu Zhinian's lap with one hand, covering Yu Zhinian's shoulders: "Why is your face a bit cold?" white."

Yu Zhinian was indeed a little cold, so he didn't answer.

Arrived at the hotel, checked in, and Yang Ke booked a suite.

Yu Zhinian went back to his room and took a shower, put on his bathrobe, and sat on the bed, feeling cold all over his body and his head ached.

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Yang Ke knocked on his door outside the room.

Yu Zhinian walked over and opened the door, Yang Ke saw him, for some reason, he was slightly taken aback, and said, "Are you uncomfortable?" Yu Zhinian said "Yes", and Yang Ke asked, "What's uncomfortable?"

"I don't know," Yu Zhinian looked at Yang Ke and said, "It's cold."

Yang Ke paused for a few seconds, raised his hand, and put the back of his hand on Yu Zhinian's forehead. The temperature of the back of his hand was very good, which made Yu Zhinian feel very comfortable, but he quickly took it away.

"You have a fever," Yang Ke said, "I'll go buy medicine for you."
