On the morning of the last day of vacation, Meng Yao set off from home and returned to school.
There was nothing for her, so before leaving, her grandmother gave her a bag of oranges, saying they were picked from her own orange tree, unmedicated and very sweet, so she could eat them in the car.
The orange tree at home is many years old. It was planted by my grandfather and Meng Yao when they were children. There are only a few trees and they cannot bear many fruits in a year.
In the past, Meng Yao missed the orange trees at home when the fruiting season came. Later, after going away to college, she had little time to come back, and she didn't eat the oranges she grew at home for a long time.
Meng Yao was quite nostalgic and accepted the oranges. Grandma was worried and took her hand and told her to pay attention to safety outside, eat more food, and call home if anything happened.
Meng Yao nodded to reassure her.
Grandpa is different from grandma. He is not good at dealing with those delicate emotions. He just taught Meng Yao: "Don't always worry about home when you are flying abroad. Your grandma and I don't have to worry about you. As for work and interpersonal communication, straighten your back Be honest, upright and honest, and do things that are worthy of your conscience, and nothing can defeat you. Be bold and don't be afraid."
When Meng Yao was growing up, her grandfather had a great influence on her. He was her guide. Meng Yao listened carefully to her grandfather's words and kept everything she should remember in mind.
When the car came, her grandparents hurriedly urged her to leave for fear of wasting time. Meng Yao wanted to talk to them more, but she could only wave goodbye to them in a hurry: "Call back as soon as I arrive."
Grandma smiled gently: "Okay, I won't be relieved until you call back."
After getting in the car and starting the car, Meng Yao looked back from the window and saw that the figures of her grandparents were getting farther and farther away and getting smaller and smaller.
Her eyes suddenly became sore.
Meng Yao was actually not the kind of person who was afraid of separation, but her grandparents meant something special to her. Compared to a place with her mother, this was her safe haven. She used to not think it was anything, but now she realized that time was really merciless. She hasn't fully matured yet, but the person who brought her up has already aged first.
Meng Yao received a call from Xu Yao while she was in the car. Xu Yao asked her on the phone if she had arrived at the high-speed rail station.
Meng Yao looked out the window and said, "Not yet, but it will be soon."
Her speaking voice was not quite right, her tone was a little low. Xu Yao noticed it and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
His voice is like the spring wind, very comfortable and down-to-earth.
On Meng Yao's lap were oranges handed to her by her grandmother. She moved the bag with her hands and said to Xu Yao: "My grandma brought me some oranges grown at home. I just ate one and it was a bit sour."
Xu Yao immediately understood where her low mood came from. She did not answer directly, and Xu Yao did not expose it. He followed her intention and said: "Really, I quite like eating sour food. Next time I go to visit my grandma. Have to try it sometime.”
Meng Yao was stunned. The next visit to her grandmother should only happen when she meets her parents. They were just together. Before she could fully adapt, Xu Yao was already talking about the future. His tone was natural, as if he was just Talking about a commonplace thing.
Meng Yao put his head against the glass window, kept quiet, and suddenly asked him: "What are you doing?"
It was her first time to ask such a question, it was her first time to fall in love, and it was her first time to ask about her boyfriend's whereabouts. It was a bit unfamiliar, but Xu Yao answered quickly: "In the room, Gao Yang is leaving in the afternoon, let's meet later Go out for a meal.”
Meng Yao was not familiar with Gao Yang, so she didn't know how to answer this sentence, so she said dryly: "Oh."
Xu Yao smiled and said, "They asked me to treat them today."
"Um?"
Xu Yao smiled and said: "Because we are in love."
——Because we are in love
I don't know why, but this sentence combined with Xu Yao's smiling tone made people's hearts beat faster. As his love interest, Meng Yao couldn't help but laugh along with him.
It turns out that when you are in love, even the air becomes sweet because of what the other person says.
Meng Yao didn't ask him how Gao Yang and Zheng Hua knew they were in love. Maybe Xu Yao took the initiative to tell them, or maybe Zheng Hua and Gao Yang found out on their own, because she and Xu Yao chatted much more frequently in the past two days than before. As for Meng Yao herself, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep after hanging up the phone that night. She admitted that she was a little excited, so she couldn't help but send a message to Song Siqi late at night, saying: Xu Yao and I are together.
Meng Yao thought that sharing this matter would calm her down a bit, but in fact, she felt an indescribable feeling when she saw this sentence in the chat box, and her heart beat extremely fast.
Early the next morning, Song Siqi woke up with a phone call not long after she fell asleep.
…
Meng Yao was recalling that day. No one spoke on the phone for a while. It might be due to the change in their relationship. Even though she and Xu Yao hadn't seen each other in the past two days, they only chatted through text or listened to each other's breathing on the phone. They The atmosphere is very much like maltose, sweet.
Meng Yao was actually a little uncomfortable with this feeling. It was very unfamiliar, and because she was in a car and not in a private environment, she was a little embarrassed. She held up her phone to end the call: "Then you go and have dinner with them."
"Are you here?" Xu Yao asked.
"We've entered the parking lot. We'll check in for tickets later. It's almost time."
"Okay." Xu Yao responded, "The distance from home to Yunnan is relatively short, but you have to change trains halfway, which is very troublesome. Send me a message when you get bored."
"good."
They actually talked about this topic last night. They were afraid that she would be bored. At that time, Xu Yao recommended her to download a few movies.
At the end of this phone call, I still felt a bit reluctant to leave.
Meng Yao heard Zheng Hua's voice coming from Xu Yao's side. It was a little blurry from a distance, as if she was urging him to go out. Xu Yao ignored him. Meng Yao smiled silently and said, "Then I'll die?"
Xu Yao paused: "Well, pay attention to safety."
After hanging up the phone, the driver happened to hit the brakes.
Zheng Hua didn't mean to disturb Xu Yao. He didn't know that Xu Yao was on the phone in the room. He knocked twice symbolically before opening the door. He didn't hear a response. When he opened the door, he saw Xu Yao sitting on a chair holding hands. Holding the phone to answer the call.
Probably because he was dissatisfied with Zheng Hua's loud shouting, he turned to look at Zheng Hua expressionlessly, but his tone of voice was very different from the person on the other side of the phone. It was a gentle and patient tone. His expression and words The tone was very inconsistent. Zheng Hua was a little surprised. He suppressed a smile and waited for him to hang up the phone before deliberately asking: "Girlfriend?"
He had the intention of teasing, but Xu Yao, who was still bothering him, interrupted the call between him and Meng Yao and said calmly: "What else?"
Zheng Hua had rarely seen him like this in so many years of knowing him. His displeasure was almost written on his face. Zheng Hua raised his eyebrows in surprise and smiled: "As for that."
Xu Yao was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Coming out of the room, Gao Yang stood in the living room with a black backpack on one shoulder and asked, "Can you go?"
Zheng Hua sighed, stepped forward and put his arm on Gao Yang's shoulder: "You can go, but Xu Yao doesn't know if I want to invite you to this meal. I just offended him..."
Gao Yang looked confused: "How to say?"
"It disturbed him and his girlfriend on the phone."
Zheng Hua is quite boring sometimes.
Gao Yang said: "You deserve it." Then he looked at Xu Yao and asked, "Meng Yao is going to Yunnan today?"
"Well, I just arrived at the high-speed rail station." Xu Yao replied, glanced at Zheng Hua and said, "You misunderstood. I'll accept this meal, but it won't include you."
"I'll go." Zheng Hua shouted, "You are ostracizing me."
Xu Yao nodded: "Yes."
"That's too much. Don't think it's great that you have a girlfriend."
Gao Yang thought for a while and then answered: "I think it's amazing to have a girlfriend."
"roll."
They laughed and went out. Zheng Hua got in the car and asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
Gao Yang said: "It was that place two days ago. I think the taste there is pretty good."
They had been eating out for the past two days. Zheng Hua didn't know which restaurant he was talking about: "Where?"
Gao Yang didn't remember the name and said, "It was the restaurant where we went to eat that night after Xu Yao came back from school."
"Oh." Zheng Hua drawled a long tone and understood, "There."
He told Gao Yang, "Just say it was the restaurant we ate at the night Xu Yao got out of singles."
Xu Yao relaxed in his seat and didn't take his joke seriously. Instead, he smiled and said in a good mood: "I think it tastes good too, so let's go there."
Zheng Hua:......
When they arrived at the place, Zheng Hua thought it was strange.
They came here a few days ago. Xu Yao had just sent Meng Yao away. He and Gao Yang saw that there was something interesting between the two people. When they went out for dinner that night, they thought about Xu Yao not pursuing the girl's business and actively giving him advice. Chasing someone, who would have thought that Xu Yao would be single when he returned home that night.
Too quickly.
Zheng Hua was shocked and curious as to who had pierced the window paper.
Xu Yao is not the kind of person who likes to tell the world about something. Even if he is a close friend, he does not like to take the initiative to talk about his private affairs. Zheng Hua discovered that he and Meng Yao were suddenly together. The frequency of Xu Yao's WeChat messages has increased a lot, and he always has a smile on his face when sending messages. Zheng Hua can tell who is sending messages to him at a glance. What really makes him feel different is Xu Yao's phone call. The tone of voice and the topics that Xu Yao and Meng Yao talked about during the phone call cannot be said to be without scruples, but they are indeed very close. The closeness does not seem like a careful test during the ambiguous period.
After all, Zheng Hua had some relationship experience and was quite keen on this kind of thing. After hanging up the phone, he asked Xu Yao directly: "Are you... together?"
The question he asked was actually quite uncertain, but Xu Yao didn't hide it and nodded "Yeah".
Later, Zheng Hua and Gao Yang inquired and found out that Xu Yao was with Meng Yao on the night he came back from school.
Zheng Hua joked: "You didn't confess your feelings because we gave you a bunch of ideas during the meal and then you got hot-headed?"
Zheng Hua just said that people like Xu Yao basically don't do anything impulsively because of their enthusiasm.
Xu Yao smiled and didn't say yes or no.
He was unwilling to reveal the details, and Zheng Hua didn't ask any more questions.
While eating, Xu Yao looked down at his phone again.
Gao Yang looked at him, suddenly remembered, and asked, "What are Meng Yao's work arrangements like?"
Xu Yao raised his eyes.
Gao Yang said: "She is in Yunnan and you are in Beijing. Don't you think the distance is too far?"
Gao Yang also means well.
This is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored. Long-distance relationships are quite difficult.
Zheng Hua looked at Xu Yao. This topic was a bit disturbing for people who have just fallen in love, but precisely because they have just fallen in love, the relationship is not yet stable and deep, so they can think better.
Zheng Hua was still thinking about how Xu Yao would react, but he heard him say disapprovingly: "The distance is nothing. Now that the transportation is convenient, it's not like I can't go. It's good that there are so many foreign lovers in the world."
He really didn't care, at least for now.
In Zheng Hua and Gao Yang's understanding, Xu Yao is actually not such a freewheeling person. He has clear plans and goals for his life. He likes an uncomplicated life and likes to take things into his own hands.
Normally, Xu Yao is usually very rational and would not be able to say such things. This was the first time that Zheng Hua felt that Xu Yao really liked Meng Yao.
