power over

At first it was because of the typhoon that Yu Zhinian was unable to return home.

The duration of the study tour is five days and four nights.

On the first day, the opening ceremony was held after the students gathered; on the second to fourth day, they visited the campus and listened to lectures at Ningda University and another university; then visited the scenic spots in Ningshi in the morning and returned after lunch.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. On the afternoon of the fourth day, the path of the typhoon that would have bypassed Ning City suddenly changed, and it was going to land on the coast south of Shining City.

The meteorological department urgently issued an orange warning, and Ning City will enter the emergency flood control period at any time.

Yu Zhinian and other students were waiting for dinner in the dining hall of Ningda University. The team leader hurried over and announced the cancellation of flights and some high-speed rail tomorrow, and the temporary suspension of the scenic spot tour plan.

Amidst the mourning, Yu Zhinian received a call from the driver.

The driver told him that he was already waiting at the entrance of the cafeteria, and the chef at home had also cooked the dishes. If he didn't eat, he could go back and eat.

Yu Zhinian was worried about the driver waiting for a long time, so he talked to his classmates and walked out of the cafeteria.It was only early five o'clock in the evening, the sky had already turned gray, black clouds gathered in the sky, and warm strange winds were blowing from all directions.

The driver opened the passenger door for him, and he sat in, seeing Yang Zhongyun and Yang Ke sitting in the back seat.

Yang Ke dressed very formally, raised his head and glanced at him.

"Take Yang Ke to participate in an event in the afternoon," Yang Zhongyun smiled at Yu Zhinian, "I originally arranged a dinner later in the evening, but the typhoon came, so I canceled it for safety."

On the way back, Yang Zhongyun asked Hou Yu Zhinian and chatted with him about what he had seen all day, but Yang Ke remained silent.

In the past few days, Yu Zhinian has been sleeping in the guest room on the second floor of Yang Zhongyun’s house. He finishes his activities at [-] o’clock every night and goes back, and goes out at [-] o’clock in the morning. He doesn’t meet Yang Ke much, and it is also the first time he has dinner at Yang Zhongyun’s house. .

The chef of Yang Zhongyun's family cooked delicious food, Yu Zhinian ate a lot, all the blood went to his stomach, and his brain was a little dizzy.

Yang Ke left after eating.

Yang Zhongyun chatted with Yu Zhinian again, asking about the affairs of Yu Zhinian's family.But without saying a few words, he received a call and left too.

Yu Zhinian was the only one left in the living room. He vaguely heard the thunder and wind coming from outside, so he put down his chopsticks and went to the window to look. The rain had already started to fall.

In the dark, the rain fell on the tall plants outside, and the leaves and branches seemed to be blown away by the wind.

Yu Zhinian looked at it for a long time without paying attention, until the nanny hurried into the restaurant and told Yu Zhinian that Yang Zhongyun was looking for him.

Yang Zhongyun's study is on the fourth floor.

There is a large wooden table diagonally opposite the entrance, and Yang Zhongyun is sitting behind the table.

After Yu Zhinian entered, Yang Zhongyun invited him to sit on the single soft sofa opposite the desk by the window, and then let the secretary go out.But Yang Zhongyun didn't talk to Yu Zhinian immediately, he seemed to be looking at something and asked Yu Zhinian to wait.

The study room is mostly made of mahogany furniture and the lighting is soft.

There was a book on the tea table next to the sofa, Yu Zhinian glanced at it, it was "La Traviata" by Alexandre Dumas.

Out of politeness, Yu Zhinian didn't pick it up to look at it, and just sat there for a while.

For some reason, he thought about Yang Ke on the way home and at dinner.

Since elementary school, Yu Zhinian's life has not been smooth.

His grandparents, as well as his grandmother, died very early.After he was born, his parents went out to work, and he lived with his grandfather from the age of one to seven.

During the winter vacation when he was seven years old, his grandfather was unwell. He went to the hospital for an examination and was found to be cancer. After half a year of treatment after exhausting his savings, he was finally cured and discharged.

But when Yu Zhi was ten years old and the family finally got some improvement, Grandpa relapsed again.This time the family sold the house, but they didn't have the good luck last time, and grandpa left soon.

Then came the unexpected death of his parents.

After his grandfather fell ill, Yu Zhinian always listened to his parents humbly calling creditors, and followed them to borrow money from relatives and friends.

He was forced to be active and lively, and he worked hard to please the elders without a teacher, learned to cook and wash clothes, took care of his own daily life, went to the hospital to accompany his grandfather to bed, and became a very good and sensible child.

When the parents left, they happened to have just paid off their debts.

The funeral was organized by his aunt and him, and there were not many relatives who came. He had a fever and thanked all the guests in a daze.

I don't know when it started, Yu Zhinian is used to constantly trying to figure out other people's attitudes, talking non-stop, for fear of causing a standoff, and fearing that others will find him difficult to get along with.

But because Yang Ke is rich, he will have the privilege of being immature and bad-tempered, and he can choose to be a taciturn person at any time.

Yu Zhinian became envious.

Thinking about it, Yu Zhinian unconsciously glanced at "La Traviata" on the coffee table.

"Have you read this book?" Yang Zhongyun asked suddenly.

Yu Zhinian raised his head, saw Yang Zhongyun put down the things in his hands, and looked at himself with a smile.

"I haven't seen it." Yu Zhinian replied honestly.Yang Zhongyun said, "You can watch."

"But it's getting late today," he said again, "let's see it tomorrow."

"Zhi Nian, Grandpa asked you to come up because he wanted to discuss something with you," he suddenly smiled, and said to Yu Zhinian, "I have always wanted to sponsor a student alone."

Yu Zhinian was stunned for a moment, and the inexplicable feeling he had when he first met Yang Zhongyun rose from the bottom of his heart again.

But Yang Zhongyun didn't seem to notice his hesitation, and continued: "I only have one grandson, Yang Ke. For so many years, there are only two people in my family. As you can see, the family is very deserted and unpopular. But in the past three to five days, Zhinian, you Once you come here, it's like warming up the house. Grandpa likes your character very much.

"Also, I asked the school about your family situation and learned that you live with your aunt and cousin. Your aunt is a great woman, but you will soon be a big boy and live with them There is always some inconvenience.

"After much deliberation, it's perfect for me to support you alone and let you live in our home. I think it's also a kind of fate to meet you in this study tour camp.

"Zhi Nian, tell Grandpa the truth, do you hate living here?"

Yang Zhongyun's tone and expression were very kind, but Yu Zhinian always felt confused and strange when he looked at him.

The room fell into silence, and Yu Zhinian realized it after a while. The silence was because Yang Zhongyun had been waiting for him to speak, so he replied slowly and clumsily: "I don't hate it. It's very good here."

He wanted to say something more flattering, but didn't think of it, and his lips moved and closed again.

"It's fine if you don't hate it," Yang Zhongyun didn't seem to mind his short answer, and the smile on his face grew stronger, and he asked Yu Zhinian, "So, Zhinian, are you willing to accept grandpa's funding?"

The window suddenly went blank, and the room was very quiet, Yu Zhinian heard the sound of the rain being blown against the window by the strong wind.

After a few seconds, thunder rumbled down.

When returning to the room, the workers in the villa had rested, and there were dim lights in the corridor.

Yu Zhinian walked to the door of the guest room and was about to open it when someone behind him called him: "Yu Zhinian."

He turned his head, and Yang Ke was standing at the corner.The wall lamps print their shadows together on the wall covered with printed wallpaper.

Yu Zhinian's heartbeat became heavy, he looked at Yang Ke for two seconds, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

"What does he want from you?" Yang Ke asked directly.

Yu Zhinian didn't know how to answer for a while, and asked Yang Ke to wait for a few seconds.Yang Ke showed an impatient expression: "He asked me in the car today if I hated you. I don't know what it means. The old man always does strange things."

"Ah?" Yu Zhinian was taken aback, and couldn't help asking an irrelevant question, "Then what do you say?"

Yang Ke paused, looked at him as if he felt a little strange, and said: "I don't hate it." Then said: "You are better than those annoying people."

Yang Ke's voice changed slightly, but it was not unpleasant.He lowered his head slightly and looked at Yu Zhinian.In the dim corridor of a house that was still somewhat unfamiliar, Yu Zhinian felt his face heat up uncontrollably.

He told Yang Ke a little nervously: "Chairman Yang wants to subsidize me and let me live here."

"Live here?" Yang Ke frowned.

Yu Zhinian said "yes", Yang Ke asked him: "Then did you agree?"

Just as Yu Zhinian was about to answer, he suddenly noticed that Yang Ke's eyes had changed, with conspicuous indifference, which had nothing to do with welcome.

Yang Ke is the best-looking and attractive same-sex person Yu Zhinian has ever seen, but when his face is expressionless, he is very scary, with the words "No strangers allowed" written all over his body.

Yu Zhinian's heart sank suddenly, he was at a loss for words for a long time, and finally admitted: "I agree."

Yu Zhinian explained a few more words, stumbled and said, "Grandpa talked to me a lot", "My aunt took my cousin very hard, and the salary is not high", "I won't affect you or anything", Yang Ke didn't say anything again. Answered the call.

He looked at Yu Zhinian for a while, then interrupted Yu Zhinian like he didn't care, said "Got it", then turned and left.

Yu Zhinian was the only one left in the corridor again.

After a long time, Yu Zhinian likes to confuse the details from beginning to end, guessing Yang Ke's thoughts at that moment.

He racked his brains almost every time, trying to analyze whether Yang Ke's occasional laissez-faire and friendliness at the beginning were true, and if it was true, why did he change later.

But thinking hard and contemplating to the end, it seems that it is still in vain.Because Yu Zhinian neither understands Yang Ke nor love.
