A Legacy Inherited by the Licking Dogs

Jacob led Lin Yue'an across the entire campus, exited the campus from behind the library, and came to a small street.There are very American-style single-family villas on both sides. There are barbecue grills, swings, frisbees, and dodgeballs in the front yard. It can be seen that the houses are usually shared by students.Weeds grow fast in spring, and the students probably don't care much about them, and the whole street is filled with a barbaric vitality.

The end of the side street is the main road, and there are several restaurants side by side at the corner, and the two entered one of them.

After Jacob found a seat, he pushed the menu in front of Lin Yue'an, and ordered directly without even looking at it. Lin Yue'an looked down for a while, but had no idea, so he raised his head and said, "Same as him."

"The advantage of the suburbs is the prices in the suburbs." Jacob stood up and walked to the self-service beverage machine, took half a glass of ice cubes, then filled up the Coke, and turned around and said, "Want a drink? Just add 1 dollar, unlimited self-service."

Lin Yue'an looked at the huge drink cup of at least 750ml in shock, and shook his head: "I just drink water, I don't eat much sugar."

"Wow, when you said that, I immediately regretted drinking the drink." Jacob came back and sat down, holding a large glass of Coke in his hand, with a tangled expression on his face, wanting to drink or not.

"Hahaha, don't worry about me, I just don't like drinking." Lin Yue'an said, "I don't usually control my diet very much. I'm not a professional athlete, so don't be so strict with yourself."

Jacob leaned over the straw and bit it, slurring his words, "Hey, you know, after I came to America, I gained fifteen kilograms from the food here!"

Lin Yue'an looked him up in surprise, and asked, "Are you gaining fifteen kilograms?"

"Yes," Jacob said, "Fortunately, after coming here, I developed a little habit of exercising because of the serious introversion. Otherwise, with my height... well, I don't need to mention it."

He looked sadly at the top of Lin Yue'an's head, and seemed to think of the sad and indignant fact that he and Yot, two non-athletes, were both a head taller than him.

"I think you are healthy now." Lin Yue'an said.

"Hahaha thank you."

"No, I'm a physical fitness trainer. I said you look just right. It's an expert opinion." Lin Yue'an's tone was joking, but his eyes were serious.

Jacob froze for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay!"

After a while, the meal was served. Even though he had heard the rumors, he was still shocked by the portion size of the meal in the United States.The two chatted while eating, Lin Yue'an had an easy-going personality, and Jacob was an acquaintance - I heard that he was responsible for picking up freshman reports from China every semester.

"I graduated in the summer, and I'm going back to China." Jacob said, "I don't want to study anymore, I want to spit it out."

Lin Yue'an said: "Yote is going to study for a Ph.D. You all have high academic qualifications. I'm just an undergraduate, and I'm a special student in sports. If it weren't for my athlete experience, I probably wouldn't be able to participate in this research group at all."

"Hey, don't think so much. No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge is, when encountering practical problems, experienced people are more reliable." Jacob waved his hand, "I don't even know what I can do after graduation. Your team still needs to do odd jobs. Is it? I do odd jobs professionally."

Lin Yue'an laughed: "Maybe we are really short of an assistant. Our team manager is going on maternity leave and we are recruiting a temporary manager."

"Okay, I mean it," Jacob said. "And you? Are you married?"

"No." Lin Yue'an said.

"Where's your girlfriend?"

"No." Lin Yue'an replied.

Jacob raised his eyebrows: "Where's your boyfriend?"

Lin Yu'an laughed: "No, there is only one pet at home, which is a spider lying on the balcony ceiling. Occasionally, I will go out for a while, and then come back after a few weeks. I am very free to come and go. During the time I was away from home, it It should be hilarious."

Jacob was overjoyed.

Even Lin Yue'an couldn't finish eating with his hard work, Jacob's portion was half left, and he packed it up with ease.After a few steps, he suddenly thought of it and said, "By the way, add me to WeChat."

Lin Yue'an only remembered to turn on the phone at this moment. He turned on the phone, turned off the airplane mode, and found that there was no wireless network.

"Huh?" Jacob leaned over to look, "Don't you have GSM?"

"No, I'll talk about it when I think about it." Lin Yu'an scratched his face, "There should be wifi in the school."

"That's right, but it's still inconvenient to keep in touch. I'll take you to buy a burnerphone later. You only stay for a few months, and it's not suitable to buy a mobile phone plan. Buy a disposable phone for a few dollars and store the phone numbers of the people in the research team. For emergency contact."

"Oh oh oh," Lin Yu'an became excited, "Is that the kind! It's an incendiary mobile phone for informants in gangster movies!"

"That's right, that's right," Jacob gave a thumbs up, "Wal-Mart is next door, shall I take you there?"

He suddenly thought again: "By the way, you haven't connected to the Internet yet? Why didn't you say it earlier, so you haven't made peace with the people in China, right?"

Lin Yue'an shook his head honestly, Jacob was helpless: "Then connect to my hotspot first."

"OK, thanks!"

The two of them connected to the Internet while entering the supermarket, and within a short while, a lot of messages poured into the mobile phone—the team group was at the top, I don’t know what they were talking about, and there were already 200+ unread messages .Lin Yue'an sent a message first: It's safe, and the luggage has been packed at the school. Tomorrow, I will familiarize myself with the environment and the situation, and I can officially report the day after tomorrow!

One day is added to the flight time from west to east. For people in China, it is already yesterday that he left.

A group of people responded immediately:

"Brother Yuan is here!"

"Oh yeah yeah!"

"Remember to take pictures!"

"Help me find Chicago's Thomson for an autograph!"

"The first day Brother Yuan left, I missed him..."

He replied a few words casually, retreated to the message interface and scrolled down, and was surprised to see that there were three unread messages on Wen Yizhou's side, he was taken aback for a moment before clicking on it.

"What's the meaning."

"where did you go?"

"It's not fair."

Lin Yue'an couldn't help being stunned.

Jacob took two steps forward, seeing that he didn't follow, he asked, "What's the matter, is something wrong?

Lin Yu'an was half a beat slow before showing a stiff smile: "It's okay."

He turned off the phone screen, "Nothing happened."

Even though he said that, Lin Yue'an was obviously silent since then. Jacob probably saw something, but he didn't want to ask too much.

unfair, what do you mean?Lin Yue'an couldn't understand.

After looking at these three short messages that were unclear, they were all separated by a long time. It seemed that they were not the kind of messages that were sent continuously because they were unclear for a while, but the replies after repeated thinking.

He expected Wen Yizhou's reaction to either ignore his message, or reply with a question mark, and then let it go.

But what does "it's not fair" mean?

It stands to reason that he can naturally report his itinerary to Wen Yizhou - going abroad on business is not an unreasonable destination.It's just that he couldn't think of a reason why he did it.

Putting aside his wishful love, after He Qian's death, the two finally returned to the starting point where they had nothing to do with each other.Now that Wen Yizhou's life and work have returned to normal, if he is sensible, he should leave obediently, and stop getting involved and causing trouble to others.

It's as if after he left last time, he thought that Wen Yizhou would ignore his three meals and sleep, but in fact, during that month or so, the other party lived well without him.

Isn't it always like this?He thought that Wen Yizhou would more or less rely on him, get close to him, and trust him, but the facts always proved to be left.No matter how stubborn and obsessed a person is, there should be an end if he perseveres to a certain extent.At least that's the case for ordinary people in the world.

"Lin Yue'an?"

Lin Yue'an raised his head and said blankly, "You called me? I'm sorry, I was distracted. What's the matter?"

"It's okay, can I ask this number?"

He saw Jacob had a small flip phone in the palm of his hand - he hadn't seen a model like this in years, but he couldn't ask for more for a couple of dollars of contact tools.He nodded, subconsciously took out his mobile phone, and suddenly remembered that the payment here should be in cash, and took out some dollar change at the airport.

While counting the cash numbly, he said to himself in his mind: It doesn't matter anymore, I have decided to put an end to this endless entanglement, so be it.

After paying the money, he returned to the WeChat contact interface, and touched Wen Yizhou's name with his fingers.He unconsciously swiped to the left, and a scarlet prompt of "delete contact records" appeared.

Lin Yue'an sighed lightly - although he was very determined, he was really reluctant to delete it.

Scattered, fragmented, records of the contact between the two, although in the eyes of others, there is nothing memorable in it, the tone is mostly restrained and unfamiliar, the content is irrelevant, there is no sharing of mood, and there is no easy chat.But for him, after all, throughout the seven years, there are too many thoughts that only he understands.

At this moment, a passerby passing behind suddenly squeezed Jacob, Jacob staggered for half a step, and in desperation helped Lin Yue'an to stand still.

A passer-by casually said sorry, Jacob was a little upset, but he still said it was okay, he turned to Lin Yue'an and said, "Sorry, I didn't stand firm...you, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yue'an stared blankly at his phone - his arm was bumped suddenly just now, and he accidentally clicked delete with his finger.

Although the contact was not blocked, Wen Yizhou's name disappeared from the front page of his WeChat message in an instant, and all the chat records over the years were gone.

This is fate, Lin Yu'an smiled helplessly, this is indeed very unfair, from beginning to end.

So it's an appropriate ending.
