Yang Ke didn't want to stop, but he did.

Yu Zhinian leaned on the seat, and Yang Ke noticed that Yu Zhinian's fingers were empty.He stayed away from Yu Zhinian a little bit.Yu Zhinian opened his eyes and looked at him, not ecstatic, but rather confused, and a little dodged, his lips moved, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?" Yang Ke reached out and took Yu Zhinian's left hand.

Yu Zhinian's hands were soft and he had no strength.He looked down at the hands they held together, as if in a trance, but he didn't refuse, so Yang Ke took the opportunity to ask him, "Can I go home with me tonight?"

Yu Zhinian raised his eyes and looked at Yang Ke, but his eyes were still very uncertain. After thinking for a while, he said, "Can I think about it again?"

"I want to go back to the apartment first." He said again.

Yang Ke didn't force him.After saying "OK", he started the car and drove for a while. Yang Ke asked him, "Do you want to go home and get some clothes?"

"No need," Yu Zhinian refused, "I still have a few old sets at home."

Stopping at the downstairs of Yu Zhinian's apartment, Yu Zhinian thanked Yang Ke.

He looks a little weak, and his appearance is not much different from that in high school. Yang Ke feels that Yu Zhinian seems to have changed nothing in recent years except his age and education.

Only after Yang Ke said it, he became more and more regretful of the time he lost for no reason because of his arrogance and arrogance.

"Yu Zhinian," Yang Ke couldn't help asking, "What do you want?"

Yu Zhinian had just unbuckled his seat belt, and when he heard the words, he turned to look at Yang Ke sideways, with confusion and hesitation in his eyes, and said, "I don't know."

"It seems..." He paused and said, "I don't seem to dare."

"Yang Ke," he said, "I'll go up first."

Yang Ke said "hmm", before he opened the door and walked out, he tugged on Yu Zhinian's wrist out of concern, and said to him, "You can think about anything else, let's not take off the ring for now."

Yu Zhinian showed a worried look, and Yang Ke didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

After going upstairs, Yu Zhinian turned on the light, walked to the dining table, and looked at the rings he had put on the small enamel dish.

He picked up the ring, looked at it for a long time, then put it back, and went to take a shower first.

Warm water dripped from the shower above, dripping on Yu Zhinian's hair and face, reminding him of Yang Ke touching him in the car, and also thinking of the things Yang Ke said that he never thought he would meet. hear the words.

If it is said that he doesn't like Yang Ke anymore, and he doesn't feel tempted at all, it is of course a lie.But he didn't seem to be able to accept it immediately and logically.

Yu Zhinian feels that he is already a person without self-confidence, it is difficult to generate expectations and joy, and he is skeptical about everything.

He is very clear that his indecision seems artificial, and he should be a sunny person to be lovable, but it seems that there is really no way to do it right away.

Investigating the reason, Yu Zhinian still felt very delusional, and suspected that Yang Ke's perception of liking was somewhat wrong.

If he accepts it again, promises it again, and finally Yang Ke finds true love elsewhere, he suddenly finds out that Yu Zhinian is actually just a habit, and love is for others. Can't take such a blow.

After taking a shower and going out, Yu Zhinian saw two missed calls from Yang Ke on his mobile phone. He called back and Yang Ke answered it quickly.

"The housekeeper tidied up your clothes and books for you." Yang Ke said.

Before Yu Zhinian could speak, Yang Ke asked him, "When are you going to Sanwen?"

"Next week." Yu Zhinian said.

"I'll take your suitcase for you," Yang Ke said again, "I've already set off."

Yu Zhinian can only say yes.

Twenty minutes later, the apartment manager didn't call Yu Zhinian inside, and there was a knock on Yu Zhinian's door.

Yu Zhinian walked over to open the door, the driver helped Yu Zhinian bring in all the things, and then exited.

Yang Ke also walked in and looked at Yu Zhinian's apartment.

"Thank you." Yu Zhinian said to him, saw him walk to the dining table, and also saw the ring Yu Zhinian put on the plate.

But Yang Ke didn't ask Yu Zhinian to wear it again, he just glanced at it, turned around and said to Yu Zhinian, "This apartment is pretty good."

"I bought a set too." Yang Ke told him.

Yu Zhinian didn't know what to say. He felt that Yang Ke was very self-willed in doing the facts, and he felt that Yang Ke might be getting used to him, so he started to persuade him to stay.

"It's also on this floor," Yang Ke said again, "I will send my dad away tomorrow, and I plan to live here. It's also closer to my company."

"It's not close." Yu Zhinian was a little helpless, "Your company is in the north."

"The road conditions are better." He said firmly and with a sense of conviction, Yu Zhinian didn't refute him again.

Yang Ke stayed at Yu Zhinian's house for a few more minutes before leaving.

Yu Zhinian closed the door, heaved a sigh of relief, and tidied up the suitcase and books brought by the driver. It was getting late, and he wanted to read a paper for a while to sleep, but for some reason, he seemed unable to concentrate.

My mind is always occupied by Yang Ke's closeness and those inexplicable behaviors, and finally turned off the lights in an evasive manner, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Yu Zhinian ran a day's project application at school, ate in the cafeteria, and booked a plane ticket for next Wednesday. When he returned home exhausted, he found that someone was moving things in and out of the house next door to him.

He didn't see Yang Ke. He entered his house, turned on the TV, played the channels he often watched, and lay down on the sofa to relax and rest.

Shao Xilin was very envious of Yu Zhinian's decision to go to do independent projects, and sent a message from time to time, asking Yu Zhinian for details about related matters, and asked Yu Zhinian to share his knowledge and experience with him.

Yu Zhinian was chatting with him when he suddenly heard someone knock on the door.

Yu Zhinian thought it might be Yang Ke, so he walked over to open the door a little procrastinatingly and nervously. It was really Yang Ke standing outside the door. Yang Ke was carrying a big restaurant bag and said, "I haven't finished tidying up my house yet. Can't I borrow your dining table to eat?"

Yu Zhinian couldn't refuse, so he let him in.

Yang Ke looked like he had just left work. He hung his coat on the back of Yu Zhinian's dining chair, unbuttoned his cuff buttons, folded his sleeves up to expose his arms, and just took out a takeaway box from his bag, as if he was about to do some hard work. .

Yu Zhinian walked over and helped him unpack a few boxes. Yang Ke asked, "Do you want to eat together?"

"I've eaten." Yu Zhinian said.

Yang Ke didn't say much, sat down and ate.

He ate very elegantly, Yu Zhinian sat across from him, staring in a daze.

After Yang Ke ate for a while, Yu Zhinian asked him, "Aren't you working overtime today?"

"I'll add it when I get home," Yang Ke said, "Have you bought your ticket to go back?"

Yu Zhinian said on Wednesday, Yang Ke said: "I will see you off then."

Before yesterday, it was hard for Yu Zhinian to imagine that he and Yang Ke would sit together peacefully and chat casually about the status quo of life.

Yang Ke asked Yu Zhinian about the project arrangements, and Yu Zhinian answered them one by one.Yang Ke is not the kind of person who is good at small talk. The conversation between the two is not eager, but not awkward.

It's just that Yu Zhinian noticed that Yang Ke had been looking at the small plate on which the ring was placed on his dining table, his eyes were too obvious, and he reminded himself that after Yang Ke left, he should put the ring away and put it away.

On the day Yu Zhinian left Heshi, it rained again.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, Yang Ke brought breakfast and knocked on Yu Zhinian's door. Yu Zhinian was still brushing his teeth, and opened the door for Yang Ke with an electric toothbrush in his mouth.

After washing up, Yang Ke had already set up breakfast.

Yu Zhinian's flight was at eleven o'clock. After dinner, Yang Ke drove Yu Zhinian to the airport by himself.

He opened the trunk and took out the luggage. Yu Zhinian wanted to pick it up, but he didn't give it to him. He asked Yu Zhinian: "If I rest, can I come to you?"

He just had his hair cut yesterday, and he looks younger. Looking at Yu Zhinian's appearance, although he still has no expression, he seems to be very serious.

Yu Zhinian's heartbeat was always fast, and he was not sure whether to say yes or no, so he asked Yang Ke, "Why do you want me?"

"See you, can you?" Yang Ke said, "I can't let you go back and forth."
