"That was right out of college."
The memories that had been dusty for many years were suddenly lifted, and Zhuang Yi's left ring finger began to tremble again. He took a deep puff on the cigarette, called the waiter, and ordered a glass of whiskey.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, why is it so uncomfortable." The cigarette ash flicked into the glass jar, Zhuang Man brushed the curly hair by his ear, grabbed the cigarette butt that was burning to the end in his hand, and extinguished it.
The glass in his hand shook violently, making the ice cubes jingle. Zhuang Yi swallowed a mouthful of wine and lit another one. The curling green smoke burned the night and burned a hole in his heart.
He sneered and said: "I persuade others to open their hearts all day long, but in fact I dare not touch the hidden pain in my heart. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Doctors also need to see a doctor.
It's just that he heals others, who will heal him
"I'm your doctor tonight." Zhuang Man sat up with his feet on the ground and said, "Tell me, why did you break up with him?"
"With him?" Zhuang Yi raised his brows lightly, his eyes were a little mocking, he didn't know whether he was mocking himself or others, "It was he who proposed to break up with me, not me to break up with him."
On the eve of their university graduation, Xun Yuming and Zhuang Yi agreed to apply to Stanford Medical School together. The two planned a grand blueprint for the future, aspiring to become the best doctors, treating diseases and saving lives, doing research, winning awards, and changing the world.
Unexpectedly, luck made a fool of others, but fate turned a corner at the end.
On the day when the application form was handed in, Xun Yuming was so nervous that he didn't think about eating or drinking, and paced back and forth in the living room. Zhuang Yi sat on the sofa with his computer in his arms, and said with a smile, "You've grown taller now, and I'm dazzled by looking at you. Come and see my plan."
He agreed to go on a trip after graduation, but he only cared about the bad results that might not happen at all: "What if they don't want us? They will definitely want you, and even if they don't want me, they don't want me. The admission rate of international students is too low Yes, I definitely can't.
"I knew I didn't want to study biology at the beginning. I only studied biology for the medical school. If I can't pass the exam, what's the use of biology? Why don't you study finance, law, or language!
"My grandfather studied languages, so he can definitely teach me. What's the use of studying biology now? I'm sure I won't be able to find a job by then. I'm screwed."
As soon as he was nervous or relaxed, he would suddenly talk more. He couldn't argue with others, but he had more thoughts than others. He grabbed his hair with both hands and kept pulling.
"Don't worry about it." Zhuang Yi stretched out his hand to hold him on his lap, Xun Yuming subconsciously hooked his neck, and heard him say: "If they don't want you, then I won't go either, and then we both will lose our jobs together ,Ok?"
Xun Yuming immediately stared: "Of course not! How can you... If you are admitted, how can you give up school for me!"
He actually gave up his dream for love, how could he not pursue it like this! Moreover, love should make dreams come true. Love is an integral part of dreams and should not be an obstacle to dreams.
Zhuang Yi smiled and said: "So don't be anxious, leave the future to worry about the future, let's plan to go out and play first."
Xun Yuming tilted his head and leaned on his shoulder, his heart was in a mess and he couldn't cheer up at all. Zhuang Yi squeezed his waist, and smiled maliciously: "If you hang your head and sigh again, I'm going to be angry."
Last time he was angry that the little red mole was in bad luck, and he trembled all day long. A few images flashed through Xun Yuming's mind, and he hurriedly said, "Don't make trouble... I just see. Where are we going? "
Zhuang Yi showed him the schedule on the computer screen: "Here, I have already booked the air ticket and the hotel. I haven't booked the car yet. Let's talk about it when we go. Let's go back to China to see your grandpa. He has graduated. You have to go home."
"Don't you want to see the Sahara Desert? Let's go to Egypt on the second stop, cross the Sahara, and see the Nile River. Then from Turkey to Greece, then to Europe, and the last stop is to my grandmother's house in England."
"Are you going to take me to see your grandparents?" Xun Yuming was startled, and his stomach convulsed with tension.
"Aren't I going to meet your grandfather with you too?" Zhuang Yi brushed away a strand of hair from his forehead, raised his head and kissed his eyes.
The eyelashes fluttered slightly, like two butterflies fluttering their wings. Xun Yuming lowered his head and smiled and said, "But I wasn't prepared. My grandfather must like you. He likes polite children who love to learn. Your grandparents …”
Zhuang Yi's grandparents are different, their family has been rich for generations, and they are very particular about family status, so they may not like themselves.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhuang Yi twisted his small red earballs and said, "I just like you, and I don't care about others. And they are very kind, how could they not like you? Don't worry, you are so good, They must think that I have picked up the treasure, and maybe they want me to hide you."
Xun Yuming couldn't help it, smiled and lay in his arms, sighed for a while: "It's so good, it's so good to be with you."
Zhuang Yi smiled, shook his right hand twice above his head, and took off his hat. He lowered his voice, like the warm wind at night, gently scratching his ears: "My pleasure."
Xun Yuming shuddered, goosebumps all over his body.
In the early morning of the next day, the two set off from San Jose Airport with large and small packages, crossed the Pacific Ocean, and returned to Xun Yuming's long-lost hometown after eighteen hours.
The plane passed through the clouds and landed on the runway under the clear sky. The window passed a sharp corner of his hometown airport. Xun Yuming poked his head out and looked out vigorously. He felt that the air was sweet before leaving the cabin.
Zhuang Yi held his waist with one hand, and pushed the luggage out with the other. Passing through the long glass corridor, he saw a group of people waiting at the airport. He had never seen Xun Yuming's grandfather before, but he recognized him immediately.
The man was wearing an outdated gray-black Chinese tunic suit, tall and tall, with a straight back and a faint bookish air all over his body. Standing in the hall where people come and go, he looked like a blue and white porcelain among the pile of plastic toys. At first glance.
As soon as Xun Yuming caught a glimpse of him, he rushed over. The grandfather and grandson hugged each other, and the grandfather smiled with a straight tone: "It's obvious that I've grown taller again. Let me see, why don't you grow any flesh? Did you not eat well?"
"He doesn't eat well, and he doesn't listen to what he says." Zhuang Yi walked up to him and stretched out his hand: "Grandpa, hello, I'm Zhuang Yi."
"As soon as you come, report to my grandpa." Xun Yuming muttered.
Grandpa patted his arm, shook hands with Zhuang Yi, and said, "Hello, I often hear Mingming mentioning you, saying that there is a big brother who takes special care of him. The young man is indeed a handsome man, thank you."
Xun Yuming clings to his grandfather, and Zhuang Yi follows him, saying as he walks: "You are welcome, he is very sensible, he doesn't need me to take care of him at all. In fact, we live together, and he takes care of me more in life."
The three of them took a taxi to go home, but the taxi only drove to the outside of the faculty dormitory of Xiwan University. Inside was a row of old buildings with drainage millstones. Xun Yuming walked home with ease, crossed a main road shaded by Xiangzhang Road, turned left, and the third unit behind the small shed was their house.
Grandpa had already prepared dinner. Soup was stewed in the casserole, and the side dishes were neatly stacked. When they arrived, they would turn on the fire, eat and stir-fry now, looking fresh. Zhuang Yi only smelled a strong fragrance when he entered the door, and the room was filled with the smell of beef bone soup.
He put down his luggage and looked around here. The house with two bedrooms and one living room, the entrance is a small square living room, and there are two bedrooms on the right. Half of the wall is painted white and half green, and the concrete floor is polished.
Grandpa came out of the kitchen with an extra patched apron on his body. He said, "Obviously, pour tea for Xiao Zhuang, don't sit still."
Xun Yuming agreed, and took out a white porcelain cup from the lower shelf of the wooden coffee table. Zhuang Yi pressed his hand and said, "No need to pour it, I'm not thirsty. Go help grandpa."
"I don't know how to cook." Xun Yuming smiled, "It's not like you don't know, I'll do the dishes later."
Zhuang Yi shook his head, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, where the range hood was rumbling. Grandpa just finished frying two dishes, saw him frown and said: "Go out quickly, be obedient. I don't need to help here, it will be ready soon, ask Mingming to serve the rice."
"Let me serve it, don't be polite to me." Zhuang Yi smiled and pulled out the latch, and took out the rice fort.
At one time, the food was served, including pork ribs with roasted taro, braised pork, stewed tendons with dried shrimps, two stir-fried seasonal vegetables, beef bone soup and a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall. Xun Yuming lifted the cover and said in shock, "Grandpa, why are you still acting like a Buddha jumping over the wall!"
Buddha jumps over the wall so expensive.
"I learned it from the old Duan upstairs, can you try it?" Grandpa first gave Zhuang Yisheng a bowl, and then gave Xun Yuming a bowl, but he didn't eat it himself.
Zhuang Yi observed his words and pushed his bowl to him: "Grandpa, you eat."
"I can't eat it." Grandpa pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "I'm afraid of high uric acid, so I dare not eat seafood. You young people should eat more."
Xun Yuming put another bowl in front of Zhuang Yi, and still put the original bowl in front of Grandpa, "Grandpa, why don't you eat it every day, once in a while is fine."
It took a long time for the three of us to finish a meal.
In the evening, Xun Yuming took out the things he bought for his grandpa. Grandpa was looking at them with reading glasses, and kept saying, "I don't ask you to spend money, you kid, you spend money recklessly, I don't need anything."
Xun Yuming didn't care about it, he folded the clothes and trousers and stuffed them into the closet, and sent the quilt that grandpa had dried in advance to Zhuang Yi. He lived with his grandfather and let Zhuang Yi sleep in his bedroom by himself.
Zhuang Yi came out of the shower and was looking at his photo while wiping his hair. Xun Yuming knocked on the door and went in, said: "Here is a new quilt for you, it will be cold at night in autumn, you have to cover yourself with a quilt to sleep."
"Come and see." He was sitting in front of the desk, which was covered with a layer of blue and white checkered sheets and glass plates, with photos pressed in the middle, and Zhuang Yi read them with relish.
Xun Yuming went over as he said, and saw that the photo of him standing by the sea wearing crotch pants when he was a child was still there, blushing and said: "Don't look at it, why didn't my grandfather put it away."
Zhuang Yi smiled softly, eyes full of surprise, pointed at his face and said: "How cute. Look, your cheeks are bulging on both sides, and there are red dots on your forehead, like New Year pictures."
"You just look like a New Year picture." Xun Yuming covered it up and refused to show him, Zhuang Yi turned his head to look at his elementary school photos, "You were so pretty back then, just like a little girl."
The person in the photo has red lips and white teeth, delicate and handsome, combed in threes and sevens, wearing white sneakers, a polyester shirt, corduroy pants, and a red scarf fluttering slightly on his chest.
"Don't watch it!" Xun Yuming became so angry that he just lay down on the table and turned on the tape recorder to change the subject: "Let me listen to the tape for you. There are "Black Cat Sheriff vs. One Ear", Adu's "He I must love you very much", and Jacky Cheung's "She Comes to My Concert". Which one do you listen to?"
Zhuang Yi pinched his nose with his index finger, and asked with a smile: "Why is your tape different from others, it has everything?"
"Of course." Xun Yuming showed him the tape, "I dubbed this from a classmate. I didn't have any friends when I was young. There was only one classmate who was close to me, and he only had three tapes, so I recorded it. The first song on each disc."
"Oh, is that classmate male or female?" Zhuang Yi asked.
Without hesitation, Xun Yuming said, "A man."
"A man?" A man is even worse, not as good as a woman, "What relationship do you have with him?"
"He's my deskmate." Xun Yuming smiled happily, his peach eyes sparkling, "It's called Jiang Jiaqing. At that time, his parents were busy with work and were not at home, so he came to sleep at my house. I don't know how he is now."
"He came to sleep at your house?" Zhuang Yi frowned, it turned out that it was "you at the same table". "Where does he sleep?"
Xun Yuming pointed to the spring bed behind him, puzzled and said, "Of course you will sleep with me, otherwise where would you sleep?"
Zhuang Yi's face darkened: "What are you two doing besides sleeping?"
"Hmm..." Xun Yuming thought about it, and said with a smile: "When I was young, I had nothing to play, so I played chess. I have go, checkers, military chess, and chess. I know all of these!"
Zhuang Yi twitched his lips, dragged him to the side of the bed, and said with a sneer, "I want to play chess too!"
"Play...what kind of chess?"
