High Ridge Flower Rescue Project

The University of Pennsylvania's finance department is very academically demanding, especially when Shen Yuanyan wants to get a degree in advance.

He is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, he goes to and from the dormitory, classroom, and library every day.

Yes, Shen Yuanyan is living in a dormitory now.

Xi Hua had already prepared a house next to the school, but Shen Yuanyan did not come to live in it, but said that it would be more convenient to live in a dormitory.

Naturally, Xi Hua will not force it, after all, the sky and the earth are big, and the willingness of the task target is even greater.

Those who can come to study here are the proud sons of heaven in various places. Although Shen Yuanyan is smart, he still spent a lot of effort to gain a firm foothold here.

Here, almost all the students of the finance department are children of rich families.

Being able to be classmates with these people is a kind of qualification in itself, a kind of recognition of your ability.

This is how the relationship network is established step by step.

Of course, as a freshman, although Shen Yuanyan is already a famous figure among the freshmen, in the eyes of those "old birds", he is still too immature.

Shen Yuanyan asked Xi Hua to have dinner together today.

I didn't go too far, it was in a restaurant near the school.

Xi Hua got there early.

He came here to do tasks, not to go to school. He threw all those courses and homework to the system for it to solve.

At this time, Xi Hua felt that this garbage system was still useful.

With no heavy academic tasks, Xi Hua has recently stepped into retirement ahead of schedule.

When Xi Hua was bored looking at the eighth couple passing by him on the street, Shen Yuanyan finally came.

"Sorry, I've been delayed for a while, didn't I keep you waiting?"

Shen Yuanyan was wearing a brown woolen coat with a white scarf around his neck.

When he walked in from the outside, there was a biting chill all over his body.

It is already winter.

Xi Hua handed him a cup of hot water to warm his hands, "I just arrived too."

Shen Yuanyan came into contact with a project before, this project would not have been exposed to a freshman, but because there was still a shortage of manpower at the time, Shen Yuanyan, a leader among the freshmen, was lucky enough to enter their sight.

Shen Yuanyan attaches great importance to this project.

They are engaged in finance, but in the final analysis, they still have to do actual combat.

Really entering Wall Street, entering investment banks, and manipulating millions of money games, this is what they have to do.

And this project gave Shen Yuanyan a preliminary glimpse into some of the scenery of Wall Street.

Although he can only fight behind a group of big shots for the time being, even so, it is an opportunity that no one can get.

Xi Hua looked at this mission object he hadn't seen for more than a month.

The Shen Yuanyan sitting in front of him now, and the one he saw for the first time, can be said to be completely different.

The most important thing is the change in temperament.

The former Shen Yuanyan looked like a young master who didn't eat other people's fireworks, he looked cold and not easy to get close to.

Now Shen Yuanyan's temperament has completely settled down, he is more introverted, and his eyes are more firm and energetic.

And it may be because he hasn't slept well these days, Shen Yuanyan has lost a lot of weight, and the dark circles under his eyes caused by staying up late for a long time are also more obvious.

Xi Hua looked at it with admiration and a little distress

, "How many days have you not slept well?"

Shen Yuanyan didn't take it seriously, "Everyone in the project worked hard, I just got in by coincidence, and I can't be the one who is holding back."

Of course Xi Hua also understood this truth, so he didn't say anything self-righteous about not working too hard.

After all, it is a good thing for him that the task target is so motivated.

"Let's order first, what do you want to eat?"

"Black pepper steak and pan-fried salmon." Shen Yuanyan flipped through the menu and ordered two, "You can order the others."

Seeing that Shen Yuanyan was not in good spirits, Xi Hua didn't force himself, quickly ticked off a few more items on the menu and handed it to the waiter.

While waiting for the food, Xi Hua couldn't help but said: "Go back and have a good rest after eating, look at your dark circles."

Shen Yuanyan pursed his lips after hearing Xi Hua's words.

Are your dark circles that serious?

But think about it, since I joined this project, I can only sleep for four or five hours a day on average. In order to keep my spirits up, I drink coffee as water during this time.

Fortunately, such a desperate time has come to an end for the time being.

The food delivery speed of this restaurant is still very fast.Soon, the waiter brought up the dishes one after another.

The little brother serving them should be a German, young, with a high nose and deep eyes, very handsome.

Out of Yangou's nature, Xi Hua couldn't help but take a second look.

Shen Yuanyan looked at him calmly, but the hand cutting the steak was a little heavier, "Christmas is coming soon."

"En." Xi Hua had already turned his gaze back, and began to concentrate on eating, not even noticing this little abnormality of Shen Yuanyan.

"An appointment for Christmas?"

"No."

Hearing his satisfactory answer, Shen Yuanyan tickled the corners of his mouth happily, "Then I'll find you when the time comes."

"Spend Christmas with me?" Xi Hua opened his eyes slightly.

Although——he admitted that there was indeed a bit of ambiguous feeling between himself and Shen Yuanyan before.But after coming here, although he didn't say it clearly, Xi Hua could feel that Shen Yuanyan was obviously avoiding him deliberately.

Instead of living in the house he bought, he lived in the dormitory of the school.

Although they are in the same major in the same school, the two rarely meet each other.

Sometimes it may not be seen once in ten days and half a month.

Xi Hua also almost calmed down.

Looking back at this time, Xi Hua felt that this must be because he was thinking too much, and Shen Yuanyan didn't mean it at all.

After all, the system has never said that Shen Yuanyan likes men.

It was himself, Xi Hua sighed melancholy, he always thought he was a heterosexual before.

But judging from Shen Yuanyan's case, it seems not to be the case.

Xi Hua felt very sad to be broken in love before falling in love.

It's just that the sadness comes and goes quickly.When seeing Shen Yuanyan again, Xi Hua was able to face it calmly.

He told himself not to think about so many messy things, this is simply the object of the task, and when the task is completed, it has nothing to do with him.

Xi Hua took a deep look at Shen Yuanyan, he really didn't understand what the object of his mission meant.

"There are so many people chasing you in school, and you don't have a single one that you like?"

Xi Hua believes that as long as Shen Yuanyan nods, there will be plenty of people willing to spend Christmas with him, so why bother looking for him?

Xi Hua was afraid that Shen Yuanyan had scruples in his heart, so he simply made everything clear, "When I was in Nanyang, I really wanted to help you and I didn't have any other intentions, you can rest assured about that. "

Xi Hua is not a fool, even if he didn't realize that his behavior had caused a misunderstanding between Shen Yuanyan and outsiders at the beginning, he knew it later.

He wanted to explain, but he never found a good opportunity.

Then, he and Shen Yuanyan met less and less frequently, and it seemed that there was no need to explain.

But at this time, Xi Hua felt that he still had to say something, "You really don't have to worry about me, I won't stop you from doing anything."

"I have always, just regarded you as a friend."

"If some of my inappropriate behaviors caused you some misunderstandings and troubles," Xi Hua sighed, "I'm sorry."

With every sentence Xi Hua said, Shen Yuanyan's face turned colder.

In the end, Shen Yuanyan's previously invisible smile had completely disappeared.

He lowered his eyes, "A friend?"

"Let's eat first."

Shen Yuanyan obviously didn't want to discuss this topic anymore.

During this period of time, he has indeed lost a lot of contact with Xi Hua, which is his problem.

Shen Yuanyan really wanted to rely on his own ability to break out of the world.

He didn't want to hide under Xi Hua's protection forever, he wanted to get along with Xi Hua in a sufficiently equal capacity.

Shen Yuanyan knew it was difficult, but he was willing to give it a try.

When the two ate again, there was only a slight sound of the collision of knives and forks.

After dinner, it was already dark, and there were fine snowflakes outside.

Under the dim street lights, the ancient European-style buildings on both sides of the street are full of exotic charm.

"I'll take you back."

"I live very close to here, I'll go back by myself."

This meal was really embarrassing, Xi Hua just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

However, Shen Yuanyan didn't seem to hear Xi Hua's refusal, stood up and said unquestionably: "Let's go, I'll see you off."

So the two walked side by side in silence in the street.

Because it is close to the University of Pennsylvania, most of the people who come and go here are young students.

Compared with the surrounding environment of laughter and laughter, Xi Hua and Shen Yuanyan seemed a bit out of place.

A punk boy in his twenties, wearing headphones, passed the two of them on a skateboard.Then Xi Hua suddenly felt pushed.

He didn't react, and fell on Shen Yuanyan's body at once, holding on to Shen Yuanyan's arm tightly so as not to fall.

Being pushed for no reason, Xi Hua turned her head angrily.But the punk boy whistled at them,

"Hi! Dude, such a romantic evening shouldn't be used for a cold war with your boyfriend."

Xi Hua supported Shen Yuanyan's arm, and the anger in his heart could not be expressed in an instant.

The atmosphere in foreign countries is open, and same-sex couples are not uncommon.

But he and Shen Yuanyan were obviously misunderstood.

Xi Hua unnaturally let go of Shen Yuanyan's hand, "—Sorry."

However, at the next moment, Xi Hua felt his waist tighten, and his body, which was already about to stand upright, moved closer to the opponent again—the cool scent of pines and cypresses mixed with the chill of snowdrops in the winter night hit his face instantly.

It was the breath that belonged exclusively to Shen Yuanyan.
