The three discussed Chen Yekai for a while, and Yu Hao remembered what he had said to him. Perhaps the class teacher, who shines like a god, already knew what he wanted.
"But the academic circle is also very chaotic." Fu Liqun peeled the shrimp and replied, "It's either plagiarism, teacher-student love, or intrigue."
"He's not that kind of person." Yu Hao said.
"Do you admire him very much?" Zhou Sheng looked at Yu Hao, Yu Hao hurriedly said, "No, I admire you the most."
"How do I sound like the irony."
"No, no, really."
The three of Yu Hao ate and leaned out of the wall. They were thinking about where to find a part-time job next, to earn money for the winter vacation food, and to prepare winter clothes. After the final exam was over, the winter vacation was coming soon. Everyone had to go home. Yu Hao had no home for a long time, so he could only stay in the dormitory for the New Year.
It’s good that I’m all gone, my ears are clean, I’m just reading a book and previewing the content of the next semester. At the end of the year, the business is short of people. The working students are very hard to find jobs. It’s too cold to deliver food, so I can go to KFC for French fries.
When they were passing by the fourth floor of the shopping mall, the three suddenly saw Chen Yekai and a couple eating western food.
"Who is that?" Zhou Sheng became interested. Opposite Chen Yekai sat a middle-aged man in his fifties and a woman in her forties. The woman was very temperamental and wore pearls by her ears.
"Don't look at it." Yu Hao told Zhou Sheng to leave quickly, thinking that Chen Yekai wasn't here tonight, he must be hosting friends, he has his circle, and he is the head teacher's care for them, so it's not good to bother him.
Zhou Sheng also took the initiative to say hello to Chen Yekai, but was pulled away by Fu Liqun and Yu Hao. Yu Hao wanted to go back to the dormitory after eating, but they dragged him to the city center to count down, each of them carrying an inflatable stick. , is knocking and knocking.
"Aren't you guys with your girlfriends?" Yu Hao asked.
Fu Liqun was beating the two of them with an inflatable stick when he suddenly smiled and said, "Are you introducing me to my buddies?"
Zhou Sheng gave Yu Hao a look and motioned Yu Hao not to ask any more questions. Yu Hao thought wow, it's so hot, they broke up? Looking at Zhou Sheng again, I thought that maybe Zhou Sheng didn't have an appointment tonight, and was planning to accompany Fu Liqun to relax, so he didn't ask any further questions.
The big bell in the city center rang. Last year, Yu Hao watched his grandmother's twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve. Thinking back on this whole year, he had experienced too many things.
The balloons flew into the air one after another. The scene was extremely spectacular, but Yu Hao thought of the general. When he finally said goodbye, he was almost certain that the general was a person. I just don't know if at this moment, is he spending the new year like them
"Happy New Year!" Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun knocked Yu Hao together. Yu Hao came back to his senses and shouted. The three of them beat each other with inflatable sticks, laughing.
At this moment, their mobile phones rang, Fu Liqun and Zhou Sheng hurriedly took out their mobile phones, answered the phone and answered the message. When Zhou Sheng put on his headphones, he laughed handsomely when he heard the voice over there.
Fu Liqun lowered his head and returned to WeChat.
Only Yu Hao, no one would send him greetings, and at this moment, Zhou Sheng hung up the phone.
Zhou Sheng: "Waiting for news from whom?"
Zhou Sheng's eyes were like a smile but not a smile. It was a bit strange. What Yu Hao was thinking at this moment was whether the general would cross the barrier between dream and reality and say Happy New Year to him? But I also know that it is impossible, and the general does not know his contact information.
What if... is someone you know in real life? Yu Hao didn't know why, but this bold thought suddenly moved in his heart.
He took out his mobile phone and was editing in the dialog box when a message came first from the opposite side.
"Happy New Year, new year, new life. Don't forget your song." Chen Yekai also sent him a red envelope.
"Why are you the only one who has a red envelope!" Fu Liqun saw Yu Hao's phone screen at a glance, and Yu Hao hurriedly said, "I'll give it to you!"
"We are all sent by him!" Zhou Sheng said, "This is so unfair!" The red envelope was only eight yuan and eight, and Fu Liqun roared again, "It's not uncommon!"
"Yes! We don't care about it!" Zhou Sheng also complained angrily, Yu Hao had to give each of them a red envelope, and that was the end.
"Happy New Year-"
"Happy New Year-"
Yu Hao hugged Fu Liqun, and when he hugged Zhou Sheng again, Zhou Sheng supported his chin and pushed him away.
"Don't be numb!"
The three laughed, and Ying Shi was instantly submerged in the ocean of balloons and laughter.
Yu Hao thought to himself, Happy New Year, General, no matter where you are.
During the three-day holiday of New Year's Day, Yu Hao found another job. During festivals and weekends, he rode his electric bike everywhere to fill the doll machine in the mall. After running all day, his whole body was exhausted. I thought to myself that couples in this city really like to clip dolls, and I don't know where the massive dolls are. He and the food delivery and courier delivery riders were riding electric bikes waiting for the red light, wearing thick gloves and masks, and looking at the endless stream of people, they often felt that they were like those NPCs in a dream.
Everyone is used to placing an order, takeout can be delivered to your door, and express delivery will be delivered to your home. The bustling service industry crowd, like street trees, traffic lights and manhole covers, has become a public place in the city. One of the facilities, where he used to fry French fries at McDonald's, felt like an automated ordering robot, and in the eyes of customers, he was part of the cash register.
And these, Chen Yekai, who taught him to "live his own life", may never have the opportunity to experience it.
Everyone wants to break through the class and stop struggling at the bottom of the society, but these things will always be done by someone. How much can the world change because of themselves
During the few days of the final exam, it snowed heavily outside the window, there was no heating in the south of Yingshi, and everyone's hands were frozen. Zhou Sheng was sitting not far from Yu Hao, Yu Hao could catch glimpses of his back from time to time, thinking hard, especially when he was taking an English test, Yu Hao was more nervous about him and Fu Liqun than himself, and he fell asleep on his stomach within an hour of seeing him. , I shouted angrily in my heart: What sleep is there to sleep! Get up and answer the question! Check it out when you're done!
"I really know it!" Zhou Sheng said impatiently, "Don't be too tangled in English, isn't it what you said? I'm afraid I'll go back and change the right answer."
"Really finished?" Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng suspiciously.
"It's done!" Zhou Sheng hugged Yu Hao and took him to the cafeteria to eat, and said, "Definitely!"
Yu Hao asked again, "Have you finished writing the composition?"
"It's done!" Zhou Sheng said, "Why are you so mother-in-law?"
The afternoon after the English test was the last high math. Before entering the test room, Zhou Sheng suddenly said to him, "Let me tell you something, Yu Hao."
Yu Hao: "?"
Zhou Sheng suddenly said again: "Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Yu Hao looked puzzled, the two of them were separated, Yu Hao glanced at the test paper, thank God, Chen Yekai spoke very well, he knew most of the questions, but in the end he still couldn't finish... After exhausting all his strength, he collapsed on the chair and was about to ask Zhou Sheng what he had to say when he saw Chen Yekai sent him a message.
[Come to me, I will wait for you in the dormitory.]
"Yu Hao!"
"I'm going to Teacher Chen's dormitory!" Yu Hao quickly went downstairs and said to Zhou Sheng, "I've paid my salary for part-time work tonight. I'll invite you and Fu Liqun to dinner tomorrow!"
Zhou Sheng probed around the corner and said, "What?! Going to Kaikai's dormitory? If you have something to say in the office? Is this an unspoken rule for you?"
Yu Hao: "..."
Chen Yekai lived in the dormitory for young teachers arranged by the school. It was located in the westernmost part of the school. After receiving the money from the students, there are grants, and the land can be sold. Teachers who live off-campus are all entitled to allowances such as settlement allowances, while those who live on-campus, like Chen Yekai, have a large single-person suite.
Chen Yekai's house was very tidy, and a nanny came to clean it every day. Yu Hao waited at the door for a while. When Chen Yekai just came back, he opened the door for him and said, "Come in, what would you like to drink?"
Yu Hao rarely goes to a friend's house. The first thing he felt when he walked in was that he was afraid of dirtying Chen Yekai's house. Chen Yekai took off his coat, brought Yu Hao slippers, and said, "Sit down."
"Don't drink, don't drink..."
"Drink it." Chen Yekai turned on the coffee machine, made a cup of coffee for Yu Hao, and sat beside the TV. There was a pile of PS4 games and chocolates brought back from abroad. Chen Yekai handed the chocolates to him. Yu Hao ate it and said, "This kind of chocolate tastes great with coffee."
Chen Yekai's house looked like a single aristocratic apartment, Yu Hao once wondered, Chen Yekai's clothes were different every day, wouldn't it be troublesome to wash
"People will definitely come to pick me up after a phone call!" Zhou Sheng said casually at the time, "You don't need to worry about him, just wash my clothes."
Fu Liqun's answer was: "Rich people's clothes are only worn once and then thrown away, don't you know?"
Well, poverty really limited my imagination. Yu Hao saw many things in Chen Yekai's house, but he didn't know what they were used for. Yu Hao wore a jacket for three days in a row. Every day when he went back to the dormitory, he didn't bother to wash. When Chen Yekai opened the shoe cabinet to find him slippers just now, Yu Hao saw a pair of limited-edition sky-high sneakers, so he started chatting awkwardly.
"Teacher, do you also play basketball?"
"I didn't play well." Chen Yekai said, "It's okay to play football, but I'm busy at the end of the semester, so I asked you to play football after the winter break."
Yu Hao was a rookie, knowing that Chen Yekai's so-called "playing badly" was the result of a scholar who "failed the exam again this time". Last time Zhou Sheng was away, Chen Yekai played the king and brought him up, which is also to say "Don't laugh at me if I don't play well." In the end, he got more than 20 kills in a row. Yu Hao only felt that he was following a lawn mower. After the end, the two of them were reported together for using plug-ins.
"I haven't seen you play football." Yu Hao said.
Chen Yekai was holding the coffee: "I used to be on the team as an undergraduate, but after I went to graduate school, I played less. Don't call me a teacher. You can learn from Zhou Sheng and the others, just call me Kaikai."
Yu Hao thought to himself that "it's okay", I'm still the girls in the class, let's call you a goddess... But I really can't say this. Sitting opposite Chen Yekai, I don't know why, I feel like I'm being used by unspoken academic rules. .
"Have you thought about what you said last time?" Chen Yekai asked again.
Yu Hao: "..."
Why is this dialogue more and more like lines in a TV series, Yu Hao thought to himself.
"No." Yu Hao thought about it for a while, then said a little confused.
Chen Yekai: "..."
Yu Hao: "?"
Chen Yekai: "I haven't picked a song yet?"
"Ah this!" Yu Hao immediately said, "I've chosen it! It's been reported to the Youth League Committee! The song I chose before the exam."
He thought that Chen Yekai was starting to care about his life vision and future plans, but he felt weird and said with a smile, "Say it earlier! I thought it was something."
A class teacher called the students home alone, and asked "Have you thought about it?" Yu Hao immediately relaxed, but Chen Yekai couldn't possibly have a crush on him. This handsome, god-level class teacher, his background is a mystery, and his sexuality is a mystery. Some people say that he likes the type of royal sister, some people say that he is married, and some people say that he is gay.
If you really want to dive into me...
… of course that’s good! Ask for it!
Yu Hao thought to himself, but he really never thought about such a fantasy.
I don't know why, since he was tempted by the general, he has been tormented by strong hormones recently. He decided to try to find a boyfriend after this Spring Festival. After all, this will be a brand new beginning. He will no longer close himself, he will try to understand and love someone. This person may be from the school or the society, but it will never be Chen Yekai.
He is not worthy of him, and of course the other party will not come to fall in love with a student, not to mention whether he is gay or not. If he has a boyfriend in the future, he doesn't want his boyfriend to be such a dazzling person, it's really insecure.
"What song did you choose?"
Yu Hao was flipping through his phone when Chen Yekai leaned over to look at it. There was a faint scent of perfume on his body. Yu Hao was a little nervous, and suddenly changed his mind and said, "Can we not sing now?"
"Don't you have to go to the rehearsal?" Chen Yekai got up with a smile and said, "You'll have to sing later. Of course I can walk away and not listen."
"Cai... rehearsal?!" Yu Hao was shocked, he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Chen Yekai: "I'll be on stage tomorrow night. I'm afraid it will affect your exam. I haven't urged you to come here."
Yu Hao hadn't practiced songs much, so he was even more nervous. Fortunately, Chen Yekai didn't remind him, otherwise he would definitely fail the exam in the next few days. He followed Chen Yekai into the room, and Chen Yekai opened the closet and said, "Clothes Have you chosen? You choose a set you like."
Yu Hao is 176 cm, Chen Yekai is 180, his clothes Yu Hao can also wear, there are several suits in the closet, it is too formal, Yu Hao thought about it and said, "Shall I buy one?"
"It doesn't matter, you can wear mine." Chen Yekai said, "There is no need to spend this money."
Yu Hao couldn't just go on stage like this. He knew that Chen Yekai was doing it for his own good, so he nodded gratefully. Suddenly wearing a formal suit, he probably won't be used to it. He thought about it and said, "I don't wear a suit jacket, just have a shirt."
Chen Yekai said, "It's up to you."
"Is this ok?" Yu Hao took out the two shirts in the closet that were put together. The outer one was navy blue, and the inside was white. The white one looked a little old and didn't look very expensive. So he took off his black shirt and painted the white one.
"This one..." Chen Yekai said, "It's better to choose a better one."
Yu Hao: "Just it, white shirt and trousers."
Chen Yekai was very surprised: "Do you like this style?"
Yu Hao said, "I saw it at a glance."
Chen Yekai had to stop forcing Yu Hao, and said, "Then why don't you try?" Then he threw the navy blue shirt into another cabinet, found a pair of slim-fitting trousers and handed it to him, and looked at his watch again: "Come on, I'll take you to the rehearsal."
After Yu Hao put it on, he showed Chen Yekai. Chen Yekai was looking at his phone in the living room and said without raising his head, "Very good."
Yu Hao: "You haven't seen it yet!"
Chen Yekai looked up, and the two suddenly fell silent for a while.
"Okay." Chen Yekai said, "Let's just do it. Put on makeup and trim your eyebrows. It's quite handsome."
Yu Hao keenly felt that Chen Yekai seemed a little angry, perhaps because he picked the cheapest one. But he didn't do it because he was inferior, but because he felt...
"Mr. Chen." Yu Hao put his clothes in his bag and said uneasily.
"Yeah." Chen Yekai put his hands in his pockets, walked in front, and looked back at Yu Hao.
"I just want to let the real me sing on stage." Yu Hao explained, "So... so..."
"A good-looking person looks good in anything." Chen Yekai said with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "You are quite confident now."
Yu Hao laughed. Chen Yekai took him to the rehearsal in the auditorium. The secretary of the Communist Youth League was also there, nodding to them.
Yu Hao glanced at his watch, he had to finish his last job of the day before eight o'clock, and ask the supervisor to settle the money. He wondered if the rehearsal would end smoothly. However, the rehearsal was almost endless, and Yu Hao remembered a serious problem—the rehearsal took longer than the actual performance.
He kept looking at his watch, and finally Chen Yekai asked, "Is something wrong?"
After Yu Hao explained the situation, Chen Yekai said, "You haven't had dinner yet."
Yu Hao was afraid that his supervisor would owe him his salary, so he said, "Either I'll go there first."
"Let's go." Chen Yekai said to the student council again, and the president said with a bewildered expression, "Then what should we do?"
"I'll sing for him." Chen Yekai said, "Insufficiency of tone, please bear with me."
Everyone immediately ignored Yu Hao and said together, "Okay, okay!" Yu Hao thought to himself that he was finally able to escape.
He rushed to the place at the fastest speed and finished loading today's doll. During the period, Zhou Sheng kept sending messages asking him where he was and when he would go back to school. Yu Hao replied that he was working part-time. Zhou Sheng called him again. People have to support the glass case so that it doesn't fall off, and they have to scramble to put dolls inside.
"It's going to be very late!" Yu Hao said, "What's the matter? I'm putting on a doll, so I'll hang up first!"
Zhou Sheng: "Why did you go to work again?"
"Don't work and drink the northwest wind!"
"Can you hurry up?!" The couple waiting to catch the baby got angry, Yu Hao had to: "Right now!"
"Complain about him!" said the customer, "make this call..."
"Don't!" Yu Hao hurriedly begged for mercy, "That's the one who applied for repairs, not the employees. I'll stop calling you." This can all be complained about. Today is payday again. If the boss uses this excuse to deduct money It's miserable.
Yu Hao said something or another. After hanging up, he apologized to the customer and ran to the next mall. After working all night, he successfully received his salary and sent a message asking if Chen Yekai's rehearsal was over, but Chen Yekai didn't reply.
Too bad, probably because he was angry, Yu Hao rushed back to the auditorium before turning off the lights. The auditorium had been locked and it was pitch black.
When he returned to the bedroom to lie down, Chen Yekai only replied to his message.
[If you screw up tomorrow night, you wait for me.]
Yu Hao quickly apologized, but Chen Yekai still ignored him, but Zhou Sheng's call came.
"Are you kidding?" Zhou Sheng's voice said on the phone, "I'm going to beat someone up! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"
Yu Hao was simply inexplicable, he didn't make an appointment with Zhou Sheng today.
Yu Hao was so exhausted today that it was useless to explain. Zhou Sheng said again, "What do Chen Yekai want you to do?"
"I'm working!" Yu Hao huddled under the covers, the roommates all went out after their exams, "I didn't do anything!"
"I'm angry!" Zhou Sheng said, "I've been waiting for you all night!"
"What are you waiting for me to do?" Yu Hao said, "We didn't have any appointments today?"
Zhou Sheng stopped talking, Yu Hao didn't know what to say, he didn't eat dinner, he was too hungry to bear, and he was scolded everywhere, and his temper was not good.
"Then come find me when you're angry." Yu Hao said.
"Open the door!" Zhou Sheng roared outside the door.
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao hurriedly got up to open the door, Zhou Sheng entered the bedroom, threw the packed dinner on the table, turned around and left with his hands in his trouser pockets.
"Zhou Sheng!" Yu Hao was about to chase out, but there was a cold wind outside. Yu Hao hurriedly came back and put on his trousers and chased downstairs in a few steps. Step by step, run to your dormitory.
Yu Hao also jumped down, but Zhou Sheng crossed the atrium and jumped onto the railing behind their dormitory building. Like parkour, he flipped up the second floor of the opposite dormitory building and went back to the dormitory.
Yu Hao was standing in the atrium now, dumbfounded. He couldn't jump up to the floor opposite. Fortunately, a boy from his dormitory came back.
The food that Zhou Sheng had packed for him was already cold, Yu Hao was half-starved, ate in a hurry, called Zhou Sheng, didn't answer, sent a message, and didn't reply, Yu Hao suddenly remembered that Zhou Sheng had something to tell him today , I had to apologize to him first. In fact, I didn't know why I wanted to apologize, and then I fell asleep in a mood.
The next day was a day without part-time work, class, or review.
From New Year's Day until today, January 17, Yu Hao has saved a total of 2,200 yuan, which will support his entire winter vacation expenses. During the Spring Festival, when the prices soared, I had to buy clothes for myself. He decided to go to the supermarket after a while to find a temporary worker who ordered the goods.
The presence of the general has gradually faded away, and recalling the dream of more than half a month ago, everything is full of hazy feeling. But he always tried to keep emphasizing in his memory that this person really existed.
Yu Hao soaked a bag of instant noodles in the dormitory, and started talking to his phone, opening the sing bar to practice the song he would perform on stage at night. He believed that he could sing well. Although he hadn't sung for a long time, he practiced until noon and wanted to invite Zhou Sheng for dinner, but Zhou Sheng never sent him a message.
After asking Fu Liqun to have dinner together after the evening performance, Fu Liqun replied, "You're not at school today, so be busy.]
Yu Hao suddenly felt a little lonely. He used to be alone and didn't feel that way, but after making a friend like Zhou Sheng, he ignored him at first, as if he was missing something.
Yu Hao thought to himself that he might be hated again, so he had to return to his previous state and go to the cafeteria to eat alone. After taking a shower, he changed into the shirt and trousers that Chen Yekai lent him, put on a down vest, and went to the auditorium to participate in today's performance at the appointed time.
The show time is scheduled to start at 3:00 pm and end at 6:00 pm. The teachers have a dinner.
When Yu Hao arrived, the performance had already started. The dean of the college gave a speech in front of him, introducing Professor Lin Xun and his lover, reporting on the construction of the study style for the year, and looking forward to the future goals of the school in the new year.
"It's you." The Party Secretary said when he saw Yu Hao.
Yu Hao looked forward from the backstage gap and found that Professor Lin Xun and his lover were the couple who had dinner with Chen Yekai on New Year's Eve. He hurriedly apologized to the party secretary, but he didn't catch up with the rehearsal. Everyone in the backstage said that it was understandable. He said "understandable", but there was a faint alienation in his eyes. Yu Hao was used to such eyes and didn't say much. . The people from the literature and art department knew each other. While waiting for the stage, they nibbled melon seeds, ate snacks, and chatted very happily. Yu Hao stood beside him.
"It's too cold there," said the party secretary. "Come here to comb your hair and put on light makeup."
Yu Hao let them go through his hair and heard Chen Yekai's voice outside, "Is he here yet?"
The Youth League Secretary replied, but Chen Yekai didn't come to see him, he said, "Just come, then turn around and leave."
Yu Hao had done his hair and put on light makeup. When he returned to the backstage, everyone was silent.
"Is it weird?" Yu Hao said.
The girls were silent for a moment, and then said: "It's pretty handsome."
Yu Hao laughed, got a chair and sat down, not paying attention to the fact that everyone around him was looking at him. He only wore headphones and listened to the song he wanted to sing repeatedly.
Zhou Sheng finally sent a text message and asked him: [Have you eaten yet?]
Yu Hao replied: [I have a performance tonight.]
Zhou Sheng sent an angry QQ emoji: [I know, I asked you if you have eaten.]
Yu Hao hurriedly replied that he had eaten, and Zhou Sheng replied: [Sing well, don't be out of tune.]
Yu Hao was not afraid of going out of tune, but as soon as Zhou Sheng said it, he began to be afraid of going out of tune. Zhou Sheng asked him what he sang and for whom, Yu Hao replied: [To a friend.]
[Oh?] After Zhou Sheng finished posting, there is no more news.
As the time drew nearer, Yu Hao began to get nervous uncontrollably.
"Don't drink water all the time." The Party Secretary reminded him.
Yu Hao had already drank two bottles of water in a row, and his throat was still dry. He was afraid that his voice would be hoarse when he came on stage.
"I'm going to the bathroom..." Yu Hao said with trembling.
"Don't be nervous," said the party secretary, "It's just a performance report. If you sing badly, it won't matter. Is it your first time on stage?"
Yu Hao waved his hand and hurried to pee. When he hurried back, the background urged, "Hurry up! It's your turn! It's your turn!"
"Take off the down jacket!" The Party Secretary told him to take off his down jacket, gave him the wheat, and said, "Don't shoot and don't 'hello', go up and say welcome Professor Lin to our academy, and then sing a cappella. After singing the first sentence, the accompaniment I'll follow, don't be nervous!"
"Be careful not to fall off the steps!"
"Don't lift your head and sing! The camera angle is not good!"
When Yu Hao stepped onto the stage, he glanced up inadvertently. The first person he saw was Zhou Sheng, who was standing in the last row of the auditorium.
Zhou Sheng was standing in the last row of the auditorium watching the performance. He bowed slightly, leaning over the railing, and beside him stood his girlfriend, the beautiful girl who warmed Yu Hao's hands together in that cold winter.
As soon as the tension of this life came to this moment, it finally accumulated to the top and then collapsed, just like the snow on the snow mountain for thousands of years, all pressing down on him.
