In fact, Ling Ke wondered why Qi Feng chose to stay in China.
When Qi Feng went to the United States to find his brother, Ling Ke recalled that it happened to be when he had his first smartphone after the high school entrance exam, and when he first followed Qi Feng's WeChat.
During the summer vacation, Qi Feng did post a lot of photos abroad, but he didn't show his brother. Ling Ke thought he was traveling abroad.
For a long time, Ling Ke felt that he and Qi Feng were from two different worlds, and he never imagined that he would become classmates with Qi Feng, until he sent the message on WeChat that he decided to take the F University entrance exam.
Could it be that he didn't go because he couldn't eat his favorite dishes and couldn't see his own dog, as he said at the beginning
"I thought about it, I have been preparing for going abroad for the first two years of high school," Qi Feng said, "Although my parents are divorced, my mother still hopes that my brother and I will grow up together and take care of each other. She and my father will grow up together. We are busy with work and have no time for us."
Ling Ke: "Then why didn't you go in the end?"
Qi Feng paused and said slowly, "Because I'm gone, my mother is left alone. I'm a little worried about her."
Ling Ke was a little surprised, the only children of their age are generally still only thinking about their own minds, especially Qi Feng, who is so proud of himself, Ling Ke did not expect that he would still be a filial son...
"My mother is usually very strong outside, but she is very sloppy in life. After my dad left, her boyfriend didn't even look for her. She treated her work as everything and often ignored her body. Last year, she was found to have some cervical spondylosis and shallow Superficial gastritis," Qi Feng shook his head like a little adult, with a worry in his eyebrows, "Although I live on campus now and don't go home very often, I'm in a city anyway, and I'll just call if anything happens. ."
Jiang Ying's delicate facial features and capable appearance appeared in Ling Ke's mind, but it was difficult for him to associate such a strong woman with the "sloppy woman" Qi Feng called.
However, Qi Feng, who said such words, was unexpectedly gentle and delicate, like a thoughtful little padded jacket.
Compared with Qi Feng, Ling Ke, who hadn't made two phone calls to his family in the first half of the school year, really pales in comparison.
"Anyway, I don't have a big obsession with going abroad, isn't it good for F University? Besides, it's not like my brother and I don't see each other anymore. He comes back almost every year, either for Christmas or summer vacation... This year he also just went to college, I applied to Stanford's business school, so I didn't come back for Christmas."
Two minutes ago, Qi Feng, who was still saying, "Because my brother has learned well, is unwilling", is now full of raptures, looking like he wants the whole world to know how powerful his brother is, which makes Ling Ke want to laugh.
—Stanford, the top five famous schools in the world, is really amazing.
When Qi Feng said this, he looked up at Ling Ke again and asked, "How about you?"
Ling Ke: "What am I?"
Qi Feng: "I don't know your family's situation yet."
Ling Ke said lightly, "My family is very ordinary. My parents are ordinary office workers. My father is an engineer and my mother is an accountant. They are both very busy at work and don't care about me."
Just a few words and it's over.
Ling Keli answered the question of Ling's father and Ling's mother about "what is it like to have a son with a cool and independent personality"...
The two chatted for a long time, and when they were about to finish their meal, they ran into Zhou Yan and Xiao Zhi in the restaurant!
"Qi Feng?" Xiao Zhi saw him first, and came over to greet them both.
"Minister Xiao..." Qi Feng smiled and said enthusiastically, "You and Chairman Zhou are also on a date?"
Zhou Yan & Xiao Zhi & Ling Ke: "..."
also... come...
Uh…
Ling Ke only felt that Xiao Zhi's eyes flashed a gleam of light instantly. As for Zhou Yan, he also set his eyes on him and Qi Feng and roamed around with interest, making Ling Ke want to dig a hole in the ground and go in.
Although he promised Qi Feng to pretend to be a boyfriend and was ready to come out publicly, Ling Ke still felt his scalp tingle when he was looked at as a gay man.
Fortunately, both Zhou and Xiao have high emotional intelligence, so they didn't say anything in person.
The two of them also reserved a couple table, and it happened that the couple next to Qi Feng and Ling Ke left the table, so they sat down.
"It's good, I've been asking you about something," Zhou Yan said to Qi Feng, "I will prepare my graduation thesis and defense after the new year, and I may not have time to participate in the work of the student union. Do you want to take over the campus? As a host? I think you are very talented in this area. After two years of training in school, it will not only add to your resume, but also help you find a job in the future... "
"Well, I haven't done it before, but I can try it." Qi Feng didn't resist at all.
Seeing that Qi Feng was so straightforward, Zhou Yan was also very happy: "That's alright, the exams are about to take place recently, and there are no activities. When the next semester starts, I will find you and hand over the work. I believe you can do it well."
Qi Feng readily agreed.
After this little episode, Qi Feng and Ling Ke had almost finished their meals, so they left the table to say goodbye.
After returning to the dormitory, Qi Feng didn't find any suitable opportunity to test Ling Ke again. He slept late last night. Tonight, the two washed their faces and went to bed early.
After lying down, Qi Feng took out his mobile phone and saw Shen Yuezhe texting himself again - "Mad, I thought about it after I woke up today, and now I'm a little doubtful whether Brother Ling likes you too."
Qi Feng: "..."
Qi Feng was a little excited: "What do you mean?"
Shen Yuezhe: "Are you here?"
Shen Yuezhe: "It's like this, I simulated the things you told me yesterday, let's just say 'kissing', if it's just a prank, I don't think it's impossible, but you didn't tell me yesterday. Say, Ling, without your advice, took the initiative to kiss you in front of the county master?"
Qi Feng: "Yes."
Shen Yuezhe: "That's the problem! Let me give an example, if a girl I don't have feelings for asks me to pretend to be her boyfriend, pay attention: No feelings! No feelings! She wants to show her affection in front of her suitors. , it's no problem, but if I see a man talking to her at random, I'll come up and kiss her, am I not a beast?"
Qi Feng: "Yes! You beast!"
Shen Yuezhe: "...Fuck you."
Qi Feng glanced at the figure under the duvet, thought for a while, and still tried to find a reasonable reason for Ling Ke's behavior: "I think Ling Ke is a very special person, not quite the same as you."
Shen Yuezhe: "What's the difference?"
Qi Feng: "He is a very tolerant person. Even if he doesn't like doing things, as long as he makes a decision, he can do it meticulously. So what you just said, I feel like a beast, but On him, I think, maybe he just wanted to do what he promised."
Shen Yuezhe: "Fuck! But fuck it! You've been carried away by love!"
Qi Feng: "Have you known him for a long time or have I known him for a long time?"
Shen Yuezhe was choked back and was so angry that he didn't say a word for a long time.
Qi Feng looked at the phone and swiped the chat records back and forth, and sighed softly.
It wasn't that he was carried away by love, but that he didn't dare to think too much of himself...
Ling Ke's words and deeds tonight were flawless and impeccable - inviting him to dinner at a couple's restaurant, chatting with him about family issues, and then being smashed by Xiao Zhi and Zhou Yan... He has always been so calm and natural, responding just right, not surprised Panic attitude, occasional innocuous jokes, like a deep pool without waves.
In the afternoon class, he deliberately held Ling Ke's hand like a hooligan. Qi Feng felt Ling Ke's indulgence for him. Other than that, there was no more.
But hooliganism can't always be done, otherwise he will really become a hooligan.
Without a suitable opportunity to act, he can't test anything at all...
***
In the evening of the next day, Qi Feng received a WeChat message from Xu Junzhu: "Qi Feng, I didn't expect that the message I posted earlier in the circle of friends would cause so many people to discuss about you... I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive at the time, that one. I have deleted the news from the circle of friends, I don't know if I have caused you trouble..."
Qi Feng had long known that Xu Junzhu was such a frivolous character with clear love and hatred, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and replied "it's okay" generously.
In a class in junior high school, Xu Junzhu was nicknamed "Little Pepper" by boys, and his temper came and went quickly.
After all, he was an old classmate for many years, and Qi Feng also vaguely hoped that Xu Junzhu could let go of his obsession, so that he could continue to be friends.
Xu Junzhu said again: "It was a little rude for me to suddenly leave that day... Are you free on New Year's Day? Take your boyfriend out to play. I'll apologize to him and get to know him formally."
Seeing this sentence, Qi Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately replied: "Okay!"
…
Qi Feng couldn't believe that the "opportunity" he was thinking of came so quickly!
For the first time in ten years, he thanked Xu Junzhu for his initiative...
After agreeing with Xu Junzhu on the specific time and place to meet, Qi Feng turned to look for Ling Ke: "Ling Ke, are you free on New Year's Day?"
"What?" Ling Ke was burying his head in reviewing, and raised his head when he heard the words.
Qi Feng: "Do you still remember the girl who came on Christmas Eve? She doesn't seem to believe that I'm with you anymore. She wants to invite us out for dinner on New Year's Day... Well, I'm going to trouble you again."
Ling Ke: "…"
Qi Feng frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "Can you?"
Ling Ke pushed his glasses and said, "Okay..."
Qi Feng clenched his fist quietly when Ling Ke didn't see it, and kissed the screen while holding his mobile phone. He wanted to call Xu Junzhu "little angel".
In the blink of an eye, on the appointed day, Qi Feng also specially found a suit of the same color as Ling Ke, and made it a couple's outfit.
The two went out together and took the subway to the city center. The other party arranged a "three-in-one holiday meeting gift package" of lunch + movie + dinner.
Qi Feng thought that he could be like Ling Ke in front of Xu Junzhu in one afternoon, and he was excited and excited along the way.
However, when he brought Ling Ke to meet the other party, he was stunned.
Because Xu Junzhu also brought someone... He was completely unexpected!
——
[Interlude]
Qi Feng and Shen Yuezhe chatted furtively for two days.
Ling Ke pushed his glasses.
Qi Feng and Xu Junzhu kissed the phone excitedly after chatting.
Ling Ke pushed his glasses.
... Damn, this big radish, I don't know what it's doing.
