After wearing the book and the future boss HE

Chu Yanshi's wish was indeed about Huo Qiao.

But how dare you say such a thing!

Being watched by Huo Qiao with a half-smile but not a smile, Chu Yan felt that his face was getting hot. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "...It won't work if you say it."

Fortunately, Huo Qiao didn't have to ask what happened. In fact, even if Chu Yan didn't say anything, he could probably guess something.

He laughed and reached out to rub Chu Yan's red ears.

Chu Yan and Huo Qiao didn't stay in Jiangzhou for too long during the winter vacation.

This time Xiao Chengcheng returned to China with his parents to celebrate the New Year, and everyone in the small group took time to get together once.

After the party was over, Chu Yan and Huo Qiao returned to City A.

When they arrived at the house they rented, the first thing Chu Yan did was to go downstairs to Professor Han's house and move back the foster plants such as camellias and green radishes.

Professor Han is an old professor of Agricultural College of T University, a very kind old lady, who lives downstairs from Chu Yan and the others.

Chu Yan knew her because the cat in Professor Han's house was lost once. The old lady got off the elevator anxiously, and Chu Yan happened to meet her, so she asked a question because she was worried about what trouble she might encounter.

Knowing that the cat was lost, he accompanied the old lady to look for it all night, and finally found the fluffy gray little blue cat hidden in a flower bed in the community.

Chu Yan has no resistance to small animals like plush dolls. He often sees a lot of pictures of cute pets on social software, and he can't help but look at the ones he likes.

Huo Qiao once saw him looking at pictures of cats and dogs, and asked him if he wanted to raise one.

Chu Yan thought for a while, but still shook his head. He and Huo Qiao are both very busy, and they are hardly at home during the day, and small animals are different from plush dolls. Chu Yan feels that he can't take care of a small creature, so he usually looks at it. Enough.

Professor Han’s kitten is called Mimi, and Chu Yan tried to call it by its name and meow like a cat. When passing by the flower bed, he heard a slight meow.

Chu Yan quickly stopped, and called "Mimi" a few more times.

There was a very small cat's sound in the flower bed, and a branch of holly was still shaking. Chu Yan squatted down and opened it, and the kitten was indeed inside. It seemed that it was stuck by the branch and couldn't get out. Come on, fortunately there is no sign of injury.

He had never touched a kitten before, so he didn't know what to do.

The branch blocking the kitten was not thick, and Chu Yan tried to move the branch to the side. The kitten Huang Chengcheng's eyes moved, and it came out of the holly bush tentatively meowing.

Chu Yan was about to be cute by the kitten, and he stared at the kitten, thinking he should tell Professor Han quickly.

Mimi took a few steps in his direction slowly, curled her tail and touched Chu Yan's wrist, and then lay down on the ground revealing her soft belly.

Chu Yan opened his eyes wide. He hesitated for a moment and then tried to rub the kitten's belly. Mimi purred contentedly, so cute.

Chu Yan bent his lips, and continued to rub the kitten's belly while calling Professor Han.

Professor Han rushed over quickly, and she hugged Mimi and thanked Chu Yan repeatedly.

"Fortunately, I found it, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to my daughter-in-law."

It turned out that Professor Han's son and daughter-in-law bought a kitten to accompany her because they were afraid that she would be bored alone.Today, Professor Han forgot to close the door when he came in to deliver the express delivery, and the kitten ran out.

Chu Yan waved his hand, "You're welcome, just find it."

"Hey, do you live in the upstairs household? You live with a tall and handsome young man."

Professor Han walked into the building with Chu Yan, saw Chu Yan's floor, and mentioned something casually.

Chu Yan nodded in surprise, "You know Huo Qiao?"

"That young man is really enthusiastic," Professor Han said with a smile, "Last time he helped me move a big box of things."

Chu Yan was happier when he heard Huo Qiao being praised than he was being praised. Huo Qiao is like this, with a cold face and a warm heart.

After going back and forth, Chu Yan became acquainted with Professor Han, and even added send to each other.

This time when they went home for the New Year, Chu Yan was worried that no one would take care of the flowers. After learning about them, Professor Han offered to put them in her home first, which made Chu Yan very grateful.

After getting off the plane, Chu Yan asked Professor Han if it was convenient to go to her house to get flowers, and when he got an affirmative answer, he and Huo Qiao came to visit with the special products they brought back from Jiangzhou.

The person who opened the door was a polite middle-aged man wearing glasses. He smiled when he saw the two of them, "You are Xiao Huo and Xiao Chu, right? My mother is at home, come in quickly."

It turns out that this is Zhao Huaishu, the son of Professor Han.

Chu Yan handed out the special products, and Zhao Huaishu said: "Come here as soon as you come, what else do you bring, I didn't thank you for taking care of my mother."

Both Zhao Huaishu and his wife work in a university in City B. Zhao Huaishu is a doctoral supervisor, and his wife is a postdoctoral fellow. She is usually busy with work and rarely comes back several times a year.

Professor Han retired the year before last, and he was unwilling to go to City B with him. The husband and wife were worried about it. They heard Professor Han mention that the two young men who lived upstairs often helped her, so they had a very good impression of Chu Yan and Huo Qiao. good.

Zhao Huaishu and his wife brought their 12-year-old son to celebrate the New Year with the elderly, and Professor Han smiled more than usual.

Chu Yan and Huo Qiao originally planned to move flowers and go back, but they were enthusiastically left to drink tea. Zhao Huaishu is a new Ph.D. supervisor. Although he is in the field of liberal arts, he has unique insights. A lot of experience and suggestions have benefited them a lot.

In the last semester, Huo Qiao was invited by his seniors in the same major to participate in a high-value programming competition. The regional semi-finals will be held in more than a month. The second day after they returned to City A, Huo Qiao went to the laboratory to continue to work on the Prepare for the game.

At this time, there were still two weeks before the start of the T University. After thinking about it, Chu Yan contacted the tutor and got the opportunity to go to the affiliated hospital for an internship.

In the following time, they went to the laboratory one by one and went to the hospital one by one, living a fulfilling and busy life.

Two weeks later, T University officially started school.

In the second semester of his freshman year, Chu Yan began to take anatomy class, and this was the first time he saw the general teacher.

The old man was soaked in formalin, very thin, his abdominal cavity was opened to reveal his internal organs, the atmosphere in the laboratory was dull, and the whole class of teachers and students bowed deeply to the general teacher.

That day, the pungent smell of formalin lingered in Chu Yan's heart, causing him to lose his appetite for meals.

He sat on the public bench downstairs in Xinke and was in a daze while waiting for Huo Qiao to finish his evening class. Huo Qiao went downstairs with his classmates, and when he saw Chu Yan, he said to the people with him, and he walked towards Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was staring at his toes in a daze, when suddenly darkness fell in front of him, Huo Qiao half bent over and reached out to touch Chu Yan's head, "Wait a while."

Huo Qiao's faint cold fragrance dispelled some of the formalin smell in Chu Yan's heart, and he shook his head.

"what happened?"

Huo Qiao looked at Chu Yan, and he asked softly.

Chu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then whispered, "I went to see Teacher General today."

"Are you afraid?" Huo Qiao asked.

Chu Yan shook his head again. In fact, he not only watched it today, but also got in touch with the general teacher.

"I feel heavy and admire them very much," Chu Yan said.

Facing life and death directly is always uncomfortable.

The old man was lying there. He was a respected senior during his lifetime, and he continued to contribute to the medical career after his death. He taught them many things silently.

Chu Yan pulled Huo Qiao's clothes, and suddenly said: "I will also donate the body in the future, okay?"

Huo Qiao frowned slightly, looked at Chu Yan, and said, "I'm with you."

Chu Yan was startled, he pursed his lips, and whispered: "But what should I do if I don't want to?"

Huo Qiao laughed, "There are still so many years left, maybe I'll be willing to do it then."

Chu Yan looked at Huo Qiao blankly, and then said, "I won't give up."

Huo Qiao ruffled his hair.

"Let's go," Huo Qiao stretched out a hand, "Go home."

"it is good."

Chu Yan took Huo Qiao's hand and stood up with strength. His legs were numb after sitting for too long, and he almost fell into Huo Qiao's arms.

Huo Qiao pursed his lips slightly, supported Chu Yan, and kissed Chu Yan's forehead, "Don't feel bad."

Chu Yan opened his eyes wide, looking around in a daze.

Huo Qiao and his class had just finished class, and there were many people around, when Chu Yan saw someone looking at him and Huo Qiao in surprise.

"Look where?"

Huo Qiao clicked his tongue softly, pinched Chu Yan's chin and turned to himself.

Chu Yan's ears were red, and he reminded Huo Qiao: "Your classmates will see it."

"Then see."

Huo Qiao curled his lips, and pulled Chu Yan towards the school gate.

Holding hands by Huo Qiao, Chu Yan's depressed mood was suddenly healed, and he slightly bent his lips.

……

Not long after the start of the term, the well-known academician Chen Deshen gave a lecture to the students of the medical school. Seeing the academician talking on the podium, Chu Yan's classmates were all excited.

There are several academicians in the School of Medicine of T University, but this kind of big man usually sees the head and sees the end. Chu Yan took notes with a pad while listening to the lecture. After listening to a lecture, he felt that his horizons had broadened a lot.

Chu Yan is not unfamiliar with the laboratory. He had been in his parents' laboratory when he was in high school, and he still has some impressions of some processes.

He thought about it carefully, and felt that it was necessary to publish some articles to improve his competitiveness during his undergraduate period, so Chu Yan began to apply for admission to the laboratory.

His grades are excellent, as long as he has a thicker skin, it is not difficult to apply for the laboratory, and the tutor also said that he can help to contact a teacher of basic medicine, but Chu Yan still hopes to choose a research group that he is interested in and can learn a lot from. .

Coincidentally, the teacher of a physiology experiment had something to do, so he invited a doctoral senior to take the class.

Knowing that the senior was studying for a Ph.D. under Academician Chen Deshen, Chu Yan tried to ask him if he could study in the laboratory.

The senior is Zhuo Cun, with a very cheerful personality. Seeing that Chu Yan's operational ability is not bad, he said happily that he could ask the little boss of their group.

Three days later, Chu Yan got good news from Zhuo Cun.

It was also Chu Yan's luck that Zhuo Cun happened to have some relatives with the leaders of the institute, and he got along very well with the small boss, so Chu Yan got this rare opportunity to join the hot research group.

Chu Yan became very busy. The courses in the first semester of his freshman year were already heavy. Whenever he was free, he went to the laboratory to do odd jobs. On weekends, he needed to do physics experiments and chemistry experiments, as well as various grade examinations.

Therefore, when the news spread that Huo Qiao, a newly promoted school grassroots, was gay and already had a boyfriend, many people wanted to see who Huo Qiao's boyfriend was, but they found that Chu Yanren was nowhere to be found.

Chu Yan was either in class or in the laboratory, and he insisted on treating one person as two people.

Before wearing the book, Chu Yan applied for a major in basic medicine. Influenced by his parents, he has a great advantage in scientific research.

He got used to it quickly because of his exposure to it since he was a child. Once Zhuo Cun saw Chu Yan processing data, he asked him in surprise, "I remember correctly, right? Don't you only study statistics in your third year of clinical medicine?"

Chu Yan smiled embarrassedly, "I'm good at math."

Zhuo Cun looked at him speechlessly, "...too curly, too curly."

After doing chores for a period of time, Chu Yan got the approval of other seniors and even the small boss in the laboratory. He mainly worked with Zhuo Cun, but he also learned a lot from others.

Huo Qiao is also very busy this semester.

Their team won the gold medal in the regional semi-finals in April, and made it all the way to the world finals, and finally achieved the ninth place in the world.

Huo Qiao is also the only student of T University who has won this honor in his freshman year.

In addition, Huo Qiao also tried his best to complete the credits that he could take in advance. At the end of the first semester of his freshman year, he applied to the school for a double degree in finance.

In May, Chu Yan received news that Wang Mei was pregnant.

Wang Meisheng Chu Yanshi was just 19 years old, and she is not yet forty, so she can have another child.

It's just that she is an advanced maternal age, so Chu Yan was very nervous, and asked the experts in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital about various precautions, and bought a lot of helpful supplements to send home.

Chu Yan also rushed home to visit on a weekend. At that time, Huo Qiao was at the critical moment of preparing for the finals, but he also accompanied him back to Jiangzhou.

Fortunately, although Huo Qiao is young, he is very strong, and the rest of the team agreed to his absence from this weekend's practice.

Regarding Wang Mei's pregnancy, Uncle Qu was even more nervous.

The Chuan Chuan shop has been open for several years and has accumulated a lot of regular customers. The business in the shop is more or less passable, and he and Wang Mei have also saved a sum of money.

After knowing that Wang Mei was pregnant, Uncle Qu hired a staff member, and basically no longer asked Wang Mei to do any work.

When Chu Yan and the others came back, Wang Mei also scolded Qu Xiangmin to him: "When I was pregnant with you, Yanyan, I went to the village to fetch water by myself. Isn't it all good, why is it so expensive?"

This time Chu Yan naturally stood firmly on Uncle Qu's side. He smiled and said, "Mom, you should take a good rest. The most important thing is to take good care of your body."

Both Chu Yan and Huo Qiao were in a hurry and could only stay in Jiangzhou for one night, and had to catch a plane back to City A the next day.

This time Huo Qiao didn't go home with Chu Yan, he needed to find time to meet his friends, and the two made an appointment that he would come to the airport with Chu Yan the next day.

That night at home, Wang Mei knocked on Chu Yan's door and saw that Chu Yan was still using the computer, she worriedly asked if she was disturbing him.

Chu Yan shook his head quickly, "No, sit down, Mom."

Wang Mei felt dizzy just by looking at the full English and complicated models on Chu Yan's computer screen. She looked at Chu Yan's Qingjun face, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Her own son is already so good that it is beyond her cognition.

She didn't know about Chu Yan's study, didn't know about Chu Yan's research, and didn't know how Chu Yan was favored by the teachers. The more Chu Yan strode forward, the less she could keep up with Chu Yan's footsteps.

Wang Mei is proud of Chu Yan, but secretly sad because Chu Yan no longer needs her.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yan noticed Wang Mei's emotional ups and downs, and suddenly became very nervous.

"Mom is fine." Wang Mei smiled, and she patted Chu Yan's hand, "I just want to tell you, Yanyan, you can do whatever you want, and don't worry about your mother."

Wang Mei rubbed her belly, "I am very happy now, don't tie yourself down for me."

When Chu Yan left home to go to school so far away, Wang Mei would always worry about him and be very reluctant.

She couldn't get used to it for a long time, but she also knew that it was impossible for a child to be by her side all her life, and sooner or later she would fly away.

Now that she has another life in her stomach, Wang Mei regained the feeling of raising Chu Yanshi in the past. She began to accept and learn to watch him off, so she came here to tell Chu Yan not to be held back because of her.

Chu Yan slightly opened his eyes.

In the past, he thought that Huo Qiao would go abroad to study, and he had seriously considered what would happen if he went abroad with him. He could apply for a scholarship and finish his studies while working part-time.

But he thought of Wang Mei, so he gave up this idea—Wang Mei would be very worried about him. If Chu Yan insisted, Wang Mei would probably save money and send him money, for fear that he would have a bad life abroad.

Chu Yan didn't want to be a burden to Wang Mei, and didn't want Wang Mei to worry about him, so this idea only stayed in his mind for one night before he gave up. In contrast, the 17-year-old Chu Yan accepted the promise of meeting Huo Qiao in the future. separate.

Chu Yan didn't expect that Wang Mei would come here to tell him these things. He seems to have never been a good son. He was different in sexuality, and Wang Mei repeatedly made compromises with him.

Chu Yan's eye sockets were slightly moist.

"Thank you mom."

He hugged Wang Mei and said over and over again: "Thank you."

Wang Mei said "Hey", and said to Chu Yan: "You child, thank you for what you say."

-

In July, T University begins its summer vacation.

Chu Yan and Huo Qiao returned to Jiangzhou for two weeks, gathering with friends, visiting Lao Lu's grave, and they also visited their teacher's wife once.

The teacher's wife received them very kindly and told them not to worry about their mother and daughter. They are living well and have no difficulties in life.

During the summer vacation, the students of Class [-] also had a class reunion organized by the monitor.

Everyone in the small group of seven went.

More than half of the students came here. Some of them have hardly changed from high school, while others have changed a lot. Time is really amazing. It will change many people and things, and it will also make some things permanent.

After the party, Chu Yan and Huo Qiao walked along the street planted with sycamore trees. The summer in Jiangzhou is very hot this year. Even at night, the slow night wind brings a sultry atmosphere.

Chu Yan went to a 24-hour convenience store to buy a cone, and bought a bottle of iced Coke for Huo Qiao.

There was a song playing in the store, and he listened to it, and the lazy female voice on the stereo was singing, "Old dreams can stay."

Chu Yan lifted the curtain, Huo Qiao was waiting outside the shop, tall and thin, even more handsome than before.

Chu Yan smiled and handed the drink to Huo Qiao. He walked backwards on Wutong Street, comparing shadows with Huo Qiao childishly.

The cone in his hand melted so fast that Chu Yan had to stop and eat all the melted cream.

Huo Qiao walked over slowly, bowed his head and kissed Chu Yan's lips.

Strawberry flavored.

The two shadows on the ground who were comparing each other before merged together.

Chu Yan closed his eyes, and smelled the light and pleasant scent of Huo Qiao's cold fragrance again from the tip of his nose.

He thought in a daze, if there was a smell that he couldn't get tired of, it would probably be Huo Qiao's smell.

He remembered the song he had heard in the store again.

"New dreams are old dreams, and old dreams can remain."

The author has something to say:
