Chapter 26: end of the year

Views:

"What are you doing?!" A familiar voice sounded, Yu Hao was full of coffee, and he was in a state of embarrassment. He glanced at it and saw that it was Chen Yekai.

Chen Yekai didn't know when he came to the cafe, and suddenly shouted angrily, "Do you want to fight!"

Chen Yekai let out a roar, and the middle-aged man was instantly frightened. The teacher, Chen Yekai, became extremely aggressive. He yelled at Yu Hao last time, but he didn't expect it to be even more terrifying this time. Yu Hao was afraid of Zhou Sheng, but he was even more afraid of Chen Yekai, because when Zhou Sheng got angry, he punched him in the face, and the opponent didn't react after being punched. And when Chen Yekai got angry, he simply destroyed the opponent's psychological defense.

"Pay." Chen Yekai pointed to the coffee all over the floor and said, "You rubbish."

The guest gasped and stared at Chen Yekai. Chen Yekai was wearing a casual suit jacket, like an unreasonable second-generation rich man. The guest was cowardly and looked at Chen Yekai.

"Don't you dare to pay?! Believe it or not, I'll kill you!" Chen Yekai's voice was like thunder, and he used the eight successes of yelling in the lecture hall. Yu Hao instantly felt the ground in the coffee shop. Glass will be destroyed by the hurricane.

The customer didn't say a word immediately. He opened WeChat on his mobile phone, made payment, and the clerk who collected the money swiped it and said, "Four cups of vanilla coffee."

No more coffee for the guests, and left quickly.

The surroundings were quiet, Yu Hao went to find a tissue to wipe his face. The clerk said, "Next one."

Before Chen Yekai left the coffee table, it was as if nothing had happened. Yu Hao whispered to the clerk, "I'll clean it up."

"It's been hard work." The clerk, a big boy who just came out of the society, stroked Yu Hao's coffee-strewn hair.

Yu Hao wiped the coffee table and looked at where Chen Yekai was sitting. When did he come? Been ordering tonight and didn't notice him. Yu Hao had seen this kind of stormy setback a lot. In the past, people who delivered takeaways and had someone slammed the door directly on the face should just adjust himself. Not all customers are like this, and there are always many good people in the world.

Chen Yekai was talking to a woman over coffee, and Yu Hao recognized it. That is the wife of Professor Lin Xun, Liang Jinmin, the "Teacher Liang" introduced in the previous academy report performance. Liang Jinmin was wearing a pair of sunglasses today and whispered something to Chen Yekai in the corner. Chen Yekai listened silently with a serious face.

I came to see Chen Yekai in the cafe at around 8 o'clock. She was wearing sunglasses. Was she a star before? Afraid of being recognized? Yu Hao took a few glances, Liang Jinmin only stayed in the cafe for a while, then got up and left.

At nearly nine o'clock, Yu Hao knelt down on one knee and started to wipe the floor with a rag. Chen Yekai came over and said outside the coffee table, "No, let's go."

Yu Hao raised his head, smiled, and said, "It won't work if you don't do it."

"I'll find you a job." Chen Yekai said, "You can't do it like this, how can you have time to study?"

There were almost no customers in the coffee room, Yu Hao stood up, knelt down for a long time and felt dizzy, he pressed the coffee table for a while. Chen Yekai said, "Have you eaten yet? Go change your clothes and take you to dinner."

Yu Hao said stubbornly, "I have to finish today's work."

He didn't reject Chen Yekai, because he was afraid that he would get angry, and he didn't agree. He felt that Chen Yekai was in a very bad mood. Although his expression was calm, his aura was frozen. After being rejected, Chen Yekai walked to the side again and sat down Down.

Yu Hao made a cup of coffee and asked the clerk to bring it to him. It wasn't until 9:40 when the two of them started proofing and counting. The clerk asked him, "Are you coming tomorrow?"

"Of course." Yu Hao replied.

"Your family?" The clerk gestured to Chen Yekai and asked.

Yu Hao waved his hand and didn't want to say more. He took off his apron and put on his clothes. When the lights were turned off, Chen Yekai was still sitting alone in the corner. He didn't look at his phone, but just fell silent.

"Hi!" Yu Hao said with a smile, "Let's go."

Yu Hao packed two boxes of salads, gave one to Chen Yekai, and said, "I made it myself, you can try it."

Chen Yekai didn't say a word, he took Yu Hao downstairs, Yu Hao said, "The exit is this way."

Chen Yekai took out the car key, pressed it, and a BMW turned on its lights.

Yu Hao: "..."

Chen Yekai was silent the whole time, and Yu Hao said again, "When I was working part-time, I encountered more trouble than this. It's nothing."

In front of the driver's seat, there was a light red perfume bottle, and the car was beeping non-stop. Yu Hao thought he had broken something, so he was in a bit of a hurry.

"Fasten your seat belt."

Yu Hao fastened his seat belt and the sound stopped.

Chen Yekai's face was terrifyingly cold. He turned the steering wheel and drove to the hot pot restaurant that is open 24 hours. Yu Hao buckled his seat belt and said, "I won't eat, I've eaten dinner, teacher."

Chen Yekai turned at the intersection again, preparing to go back to school.

Yu Hao observed his face and said, "Are you in a bad mood today?"

"Yeah." Chen Yekai stared at the road ahead.

Yu Hao wanted to listen to the song? Taking the initiative to reach out, he pressed the external speaker on the car and wanted to play a song, but Chen Yekai reached out and turned it off.

Yu Hao: "..."

Yu Hao had to look out the window, and when he passed the traffic light, Yu Hao said again, "I work part-time until the end of the month, and after the New Year, I will definitely study hard.

"It's not because of you that I've been irritable in recent days. However, Professor Lin helped me get the project approved." Chen Yekai finally said, "I have to publish at least three papers this year, and I need an assistant. After the Spring Festival, come and help me, don't go to the coffee shop to work."

Yu Hao smiled and said, "I've been a freshman, how can I help you?"

"Questionnaire, survey, sampling, literature search." Chen Yekai said, "You can do a lot, Yu Hao, your majors are very good, you have to learn to be confident, why don't you believe in yourself?"

Yu Hao: "It's not that I don't believe in myself, I just..."

Chen Yekai turned the steering wheel and said, "You don't want to accept my help, right? You see it as my charity to you. If that's the case, I can't ask you for help. You know what, Yu Hao, with my old temper, I would never take care of other people's hearts."

"I know." Yu Hao said with a smile.

Chen Yekai's tone was tough today, and he lost his polite and courteous attitude in the past: "What you see of me being amiable and amiable is all pretentious. Only in front of unfamiliar people, I will be so fake. To friends. As far as I'm concerned, I've always been straight to the point."

Yu Hao said again, "I understand."

Chen Yekai said, "So come and help me."

Yu Hao replied, "You can help, I don't charge you."

Chen Yekai was startled, then laughed and shook his head helplessly. Yu Hao's meaning is very clear, this is not a charity, so don't pay me.

Chen Yekai said, "Okay, but you don't have to give me an answer so quickly, you'd better think about it."

Yu Hao said "En", the car drove to the school and parked outside the dormitory building, Yu Hao got out of the car with two salads, Chen Yekai said, "That's my dinner, didn't you give it to me?"

Yu Hao thought that Chen Yekai wouldn't eat it, so he was instantly dumbfounded and said, "You haven't eaten dinner yet?"

"It's time to lose weight." Chen Yekai pointed to the co-pilot and motioned him to keep a copy. Only then did Yu Hao know that Chen Yekai wanted to take him to eat Haidilao, maybe just to chat, but had no choice but to go back to the dormitory to eat his cold salad.

At ten o'clock, Zhou Sheng called the dormitory and asked him what he was eating and how he was doing today. Yu Hao said nothing while eating salad.

"Is there really nothing wrong?" Zhou Sheng said, "Why does your voice sound wrong?"

"Are you doing a ward round?" Yu Hao smiled.

Zhou Sheng said, "Yes, ward rounds."

Yu Hao said, "Let's play games."

Zhou Sheng hung up the phone, no one was playing the game tonight, only Zhou Sheng took Yu Hao to score, and the two didn't talk to each other. Zhou Sheng chose an assassin, Yu Hao rode a fish and followed Zhou Sheng. Behind Sheng, after playing for more than two hours, Zhou Sheng disconnected, Yu Hao was terribly sleepy again, and WeChat told Zhou Sheng that he would stop playing.

Zhou Sheng didn't reply, Yu Hao was swiping his phone, for some reason, he remembered Liang Jinmin wearing sunglasses, and also his head teacher in elementary school. Occasionally, she would wear sunglasses to teach them during the day. The temperament is a bit similar, but I can't tell the reason for a while.

The empty dormitory was quiet, almost all the students went home, and only a few dormitories were still lit. Yu Hao finally felt the feeling of loneliness.

The part-time job at Huafang Coffee was still going on, Yu Hao thought about it, if Chen Yekai didn't change his mind after the year, he would very much like to be his research assistant. Chen Yekai is a good teacher. He can teach him a lot of knowledge, and maybe it can help him broaden his horizons, but... Will he regard himself as his predecessor? The point that Yu Hao was most nervous about was actually here.

He was also afraid that yesterday's guests would come to seek revenge again today, and he was worried all morning, but it didn't happen, but maybe it will come at night...

"Two cups of hot lattes." Zhou Sheng almost pushed himself into the cashier.

Yu Hao let out a loud cry, then laughed in an instant, and said, "What are you...Aren't you going home?"

Zhou Sheng said, "Two hot lattes!"

Yu Hao was busy making orders for Zhou Sheng, took out his mobile phone, and scanned his WeChat, but Zhou Sheng violently took his mobile phone away and said, "Scan mine."

Yu Hao had no choice but to scan Zhou Sheng's. Zhou Sheng's phone screen was shattered. Looking at who else was coming, Zhou Sheng said, "I'll give you a cup. Drink it yourself." Check out the phone.

When he turned around, Yu Hao saw a few scratches on Zhou Sheng's neck and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Sheng waved his hand, went straight to sit down, and played King Zher on his phone with a broken screen. Yu Hao saw a suitcase next to Zhou Sheng's seat again, and thought to himself what does this mean

For the whole day, except for going to the bathroom and having lunch and dinner, Zhou Sheng seemed to be welded to his seat. It was not until Yu Hao got off work that Zhou Sheng said, "Let's go, go back to the bedroom."

Yu Hao got on the last bus and asked in surprise, "Why are you back again?"

Zhou Sheng looked irritable and said, "I don't want to live at home, so I'll quarrel as soon as I go back."

Yu Hao vaguely guessed, and added, "I'll see what's wrong with the neck."

"My mother caught it." Zhou Sheng let Yu Hao look at it for a while, then pulled up his collar and said, "Don't look at it."

"… "

"There is iodine in the bedroom."

"I know, it was brought back from the treatment of your foot last time."

Yu Hao: "This..."

Zhou Sheng went back to the dormitory, took off his shirt, shirtless, with thin shoulders and back, sexy silhouette, wide shoulders and narrow waist, the scorching body temperature could almost be felt through the air, Yu Hao blushed and put iodine on the back of his neck. , I thought fortunately that Zhou Sheng could not see his expression.

"Why did you fight with your mother?"

Zhou Sheng said: "I have to cook for her again when I go back, and I have to be scolded by her. What are you waiting for?"

Zhou Sheng went home, and his mother wanted to see the transcript. Zhou Sheng told her that it was all over, but she insisted on reading it. Zhou Sheng had to check the website, but the campus network was always bad. paralysis. Zhou Sheng's mother waited for a long time, suspecting that he lied to her, and found a 404 page to recharge, and the mother and son started quarreling. At four o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhou Sheng finally opened the web page, went to wake her up, and told her to open her eyes to see...

Yu Hao thought to himself that you can't talk to your mother properly

Then Zhou Sheng's mother started to cry, and Zhou Sheng's father was involved. quarreled again. Zhou's mother grabbed his phone and threw it...

Then, a fight broke out, Zhou Sheng pushed his mother away, and his mother scratched his son's neck a few times.

At that time, Zhou Sheng was bringing Yu Hao up the score, and he dropped the call, Yu Hao immediately said, "It's all my fault."

"It's none of your business!" Zhou Sheng said impatiently, "Can you stop being so cowardly? Someone splashed all over the coffee shop, you look old! Son! Lungs! You're going to blow up! Good! Slow down in a while!"

"Ah?" Yu Hao said, "How did you know?"

Zhou Sheng handed over the phone with the broken screen and let him see it for himself: "I've been on Weibo."

Yu Hao glanced at it. Fortunately, there were not many retweets. It must have been taken by the guests who were present at the time, and they were also pushed by the locals. Hearing the quarrel, Yu Hao felt very guilty, but when Zhou Sheng returned to the dormitory, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"After staying for a few days, you can go back." Yu Hao said.

"No." Zhou Sheng said, "Go be her son, a lunatic, a coward, she must like you."

Yu Hao: "..."

Zhou Sheng rolled over onto the bed, Yu Hao hurriedly put a towel on him, Zhou Sheng lay down, Yu Hao also rolled up, Yu Hao was lying on his stomach, Zhou Sheng was lying, their heads were facing their heads.

"This is your first year, let's celebrate the new year by yourself." Zhou Sheng said.

"Yeah, that's right." Yu Hao raised his eyes to look at Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng's nose was very straight. Seeing the outline of his facial features lying on his back from the bed rail, he felt a little unfamiliar.

Yu Hao thought that he had long been used to being alone, but when it was New Year's Eve, he realized that this year he had no home and no relatives, so he still felt a little lonely.

"Go back." Yu Hao said, "How can your mother celebrate the New Year at home alone?"

"She found a boyfriend." Zhou Sheng said casually, clicked on the king, and said, "Don't tell them that I'm back when you see Kaikai and Liqun later."

Yu Hao said, "Then go to your father's house?"

Zhou Sheng: "My dad is remarried, come in and take you to push the tower."

After playing two games, Zhou Sheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "What did you want to talk to me about that day?"

Yu Hao thought for a while and replied, "It's nothing, go to sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow."

The two turned off the lights, and in the darkness and silence, Zhou Sheng suddenly said, "Good night."

"Good night." Yu Hao smiled, this was the first night he spent with Zhou Sheng after he moved here. He didn't want to think about many things, and he didn't dare to think too much, but on this night, his life seemed to be full of stars, big and small, flickering and disappearing.

"The fluorescent stars you put on the ceiling are so beautiful." Zhou Sheng looked up at the decorations Yu Hao had given to the bedroom a few days ago, and added, "Live like a little girl, yet so romantic."

Yu Hao didn't hear it, he fell asleep.

From this day on, Yu Hao still went to work every day, while Zhou Sheng slept in the dormitory until 2:00 noon, went to the coffee shop to find Yu Hao, or found a random place near Wanda to surf the Internet, and came to pick up Yu Hao on time after get off work. As the Chinese New Year draws nearer, the number of guests gradually decreases. On the last day, Yu Hao received his salary. Surprisingly, the boss also packaged an extra red envelope, totaling 3,000 yuan, which immediately brought tears to Yu Hao's eyes.

"Your boyfriend is coming soon." The clerk said, "You go first."

Yu Hao was counting the money happily, when he heard this, he quickly clarified, the clerk said, "You still say no?"

"Why on earth would you say that?" Yu Hao was still immersed in money, his head was full of money, "And it's that day... he's like a domineering president, isn't it?"

"When you saw him that day, your eyes lit up." The clerk lowered his head to wash the coffee cup, buttoned it up, and smiled, "She has the same expression as when I went to pick up my girlfriend from get off work."

Yu Hao thought to himself what that look was, but just in time, Zhou Sheng came to pick him up again, and nodded to the clerk's brother, who said, "Take me to the top when you're empty."

Zhou Sheng said "OK" and took Yu Hao away.

Yu Hao: "What did you buy?"

"Spring couplets and blessings." Zhou Sheng said boredly, "It's posted in the bedroom."

Yu Hao was choosing vegetables in the supermarket, Zhou Sheng was pushing the shopping cart, Yu Hao put the meat and vegetables in the car, the two were like a couple shopping outside for the New Year, it was freezing these few days, and the meat and vegetables were sealed. , Put it in a dark place on the balcony, you can eat it for several days.

Zhou Sheng: "Buy more and eat hot pot at night."

Yu Hao: "Just buy what I have enough to eat. You can go home for the New Year."

Zhou Sheng: "No."

Yu Hao: "Your mother must not really want to quarrel with you."

Zhou Sheng warned: "Besides, let's say goodbye to this new year, don't you even let me live in the dormitory? Okay, I'll go out to sleep in the bridge hole."

Knowing that Zhou Sheng was a paper tiger, Yu Hao still wanted to go home for the Chinese New Year, so he only needed to go down the stairs. Although he really wants to spend the New Year with Zhou Sheng, he hopes that Zhou Sheng can have a happy New Year this year.

Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng were on the subway, and it was like when the couple was about to quarrel, as if the rain was about to fall, Yu Hao raised his fists and was eager to try, looking for Zhou Sheng's flaws.

"I think I haven't had the chance to celebrate the New Year with my mother." Yu Hao made a move.

"Okay, then you can be his son." Zhou Sheng defended it perfectly.

After returning to the dormitory, Zhou Sheng kept silent. He posted the Spring Festival couplets outside the dormitory. Yu Hao went to post the blessings. When he came over, he saw that Zhou Sheng was secretly sorting out the red envelopes. At this time, Zhou Sheng's phone rang. Zhou Sheng just glanced at it and gave hang up. Hit again, hang up again, and finally shut down.

Yu Hao thought to himself, what's the use of shutting down? In the end, I didn't want to call into the bedroom.

I started to eat hot pot today, Zhou Sheng went downstairs, and the call really came. Yu Hao felt amused, and when he answered the phone, it was Zhou Sheng's mother.

"Zhou Sheng?"

Yu Hao said, "He went downstairs to buy cigarettes. I'll let him call back later?"

Yu Hao moved a chair and sat at the entrance. The other party said, "Yu Hao? Are you Yu Hao? Hello, hello!"

Her voice was very warm, not like a woman who would scratch her son's neck at all, and she was very polite. She kept saying that she was causing trouble to Yu Hao. Yu Hao hurriedly gave in, explaining that Zhou Sheng was taking care of him, and Zhou Sheng's mother didn't know about Yu Hao. What happened, first checked the account, then asked if he had a girlfriend, what he did at home, and how his academic performance was.

Yu Hao answered one by one, thinking that most of the time, he wanted me to help you coax his son home... Sure enough, after a few words, Zhou Ma started to choke up and apologized to Yu Hao. , it got noisy.

"Auntie knows it's wrong... He didn't reply when she sent him a message, and he didn't answer when she called him... "

"It's so hard for you two to celebrate the New Year outside by yourself. Zhou Sheng has grown so big and has never spent the New Year outside." Zhou's mother said, "I have already bought the food at home, just wait for him to come back, Yu Hao, you will greet Zhou for me. Sheng said, I also bought him new clothes, can you come together? You bring him back for the New Year."
