The figure behind is... His Royal Highness
Just the thought of that possibility made Alex's heart shudder with fear.
He remembered the rumor that Prince Aimer came to Sophis for vacation, which he had heard before, but this news has not been confirmed, and he also deliberately told the old guys that these "young people" were recently due to some rumors. Be honest and sneer.
"Alex, Alex?" Chi Yan called to his neighbor, he could see the black car parked behind him, but with his eyesight he couldn't see more, just faintly I feel a little familiar. But let's be honest, it's not surprising that there are too many identical cars all over the street.
All he could see was that Alex suddenly stood up straight, his face became extremely pale, and he stared at the car nervously, licking his teeth.
"I'm fine, I remembered that I have something left at school, you go back first." Alex looked at Chi Yan with regret in his eyes.
But there will always be opportunities in the future. And eating recklessly in front of His Royal Highness Aimer is not a good choice.
It doesn't seem like a good idea to rashly bring this human being to His Royal Highness, who has always been known for his mysterious indifference and uncertainty - even though this human's blood smells extraordinarily sweet.
"Are you really okay?" Chi Yan confirmed again.
Alex nodded, eagerly wanting to smash the other side away, he was not sure if the car parked here had any special meaning, whether it had anything to do with him, no matter what, it was not suitable to entangle with this human now: "Really Yes, it was probably just acute appendicitis just now, and it's been cured now. There are medicines in the school, I can go back and get them and eat them. You can go back quickly. Simon is nearby, and he will come to find me."
"Okay," Chi Yan nodded, "I'll go first."
Alex felt the fresh human breath gradually drifting away from him, and stood there and waited without moving. Fortunately, His Royal Highness seemed to be just passing by and ignored his plans. After a while, the black car disappeared.
Alex also leaned against the wall with ease, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Simon. He really needs Simon to come to him, and he has to tell someone about this magical experience, and then spread the news cryptically.
———
Chi Yan went back to the dormitory alone, threw the schoolbag on the chair, took out the notebook and tablet and charged it, and then casually lay on the bed and started to use the phone.
The party upstairs was still so noisy.
There is a new friend request on Facebook - from "Yingzhi, YE", whose profile picture is a blue and white exotic shorthair cat.
The pinyin name looked like a compatriot in China, so Chi Yan passed the friend request without hesitation.
He thought about it, and took the initiative to send a message: "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"My name is Ye Yingzhi, I work in Europe, I am currently on vacation in Sophis, and occasionally go to AHU for lectures. I am mixed race, my mother is Chinese, but I grew up in Europe. I study Chinese and English under AHU. The mutual aid group found you lowly, and thought you looked good when you smiled, so I wanted to ask you to teach me Chinese, okay? [covers eyes]"
In less than five seconds, the other party confessed a lot of his identities in one breath, as if his account was checked, and finally attached a little monkey emoji that came with his iPhone.
Chi Yan suspected that the other party had edited this large paragraph long ago, and was waiting to send it to himself. He swiped his finger and turned back to look at the profile of Mr. Ye. The gender column was clearly male, and "Ye Yingzhi" didn't look like a girl's name... A big man who was already working still likes to pretend to be cute... But it seems that The other party should be a cheerful and easy-going person, right
AHU is the abbreviation of "Australian Human University", the university where he is currently in exchange. In order to improve his English level, he joined a Chinese and English learning mutual aid group in the group under AHU, where he can help people who want to learn Chinese. Learn Chinese and ask the other person to help you improve your English. However, Chi Yan had never released any news, and he didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to find him.
He glanced at his avatar. It was a photo his father took for him in front of the school hall when he was a freshman. He did smile stupidly... "You look good when you smile" or something, did the other party think he was flirting with little girls? Even if you are flirting with boys, at least you have to be a little sincere and put up a photo of yourself, right? Just know that you are cute with shorthair cats, who knows whether you are a human or a ghost.
Chi Yan poked at the silly face of the dumb cat on the other's head, but his subordinates quickly typed: "Okay, no problem."
As a descendant of Huaxia, of course, he should enthusiastically help the mixed-race compatriots who are eager to learn Chinese and even use Chinese names on social accounts, although he thinks that the other party's Chinese is very good, and he does not need his own guidance.
However, it is natural that the other party is good in Chinese. After all, this Mr. Ye said that his mother is Chinese.
Ye Yingzhi, who got a positive reply, quickly gave him a blushing shy expression and a happy expression.
Really cheerful and naughty, although he has worked, he is not much older than himself, right? If you enroll early and don’t go on to graduate school, you may even be the same age or even younger than yourself
"Would you mind telling me how old you are this year? Probably the age." If the other person is really talking to someone about his age, you can be more casual.
"24." There was a two-second pause and a reply was given.
Sure enough, he was only three years older than himself. Chi Yan thought to himself, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what's your English name?"
The other party lives and works abroad all year round, so he should use his English name more often.
"Tom." This time, it took five seconds for the other party to reply.
"What a coincidence," Chi Yan smiled dryly while holding the phone, "My English name is Jerry."
The popular "Tom and Jerry", translated as "Tom and Jerry".
This time Tom Ye replied quickly: "What a lovely name."
Chi Yan's dry smile froze on his face, should he praise the other party for being a gentleman
He thought about it for a while, then typed a sentence: "Your Chinese name is very nice."
Not a compliment on purpose, but a sincere opinion.
Ye Yingzhi, Ye Yingzhi... Just chewing on the name makes my heart feel so soft. It's really, really nice.
The two kept chatting, and two hours passed before she knew it. Chi Yan didn't even realize that there was no sound from upstairs, and the party was over.
It wasn't until half past eleven that Ye Yingzhi sent him a message saying, "It's too late, you should rest. Good night." Chi Yan didn't realize that
It's really getting late.
"You too, rest early. Good night." He clicked "send" with a smile, unaware that his day had been lightened by this new friend who suddenly appeared and never even met.
Since then, the two have maintained daily text messages.
Chi Yan once asked Ye Yingzhi how he could help him learn Chinese, and Ye Yingzhi replied with ease: "I think the most important thing in learning a language is to use it, so just chat with me like this~ I hope you don't. Will think I'm annoying [naughty]."
As always, he added a cute little expression to himself at the end of the sentence.
Ye Yingzhi told him about his house in Europe. He said that it was a large manor. He lived in a thousand-year-old castle. The garden in front of the castle was full of white and red roses.
Brag. Chi Yan didn't quite believe what the other party said. According to history textbooks, the traditional aristocracy in Europe disappeared as early as the first industrial revolution, and all the people who hold the power and status of money in modern times are capitalists. However, it doesn't seem like a big problem for this impetuous young man to like to brag. He also has friends who like to brag around him.
So Chi Yan just echoed: "That's great, I'd like to have a look when I get a chance."
"Do you like it?" The other party asked eagerly, and after a while, he sent two more photos, "Look, this is the house I live in most often, but luckily the housekeeper has the photos, and I just asked him to send them to me. ."
The photo was taken during the day, the sun was shining and the sky was clear. Sure enough, as Ye Yingzhi described, a towering black castle is located behind layers of swaying white roses, solemn and solemn, and the white flowers add a different kind of softness to it. Chi Yan didn't study architecture, so he couldn't tell what period or style it belonged to, but intuitively felt that it was grand and mysterious.
"This is where I live now, and it's where I've lived for the longest time. I have several other houses, but unfortunately I don't have any photos on my phone, so I have to ask the housekeeper for it, or I can show you what you like best. where."
"I like this place very much, the flowers are very beautiful." It can be seen that the owner took great care of it.
However, Chi Yan still didn't fully believe the other party's words. His roommates are now exchanging in Europe, and there are a bunch of pictures of Neuschwanstein Castle in his mobile phone. He has never been to Europe, nor has he studied European architecture. Even if Ye Yingzhi actually showed himself a photo of a famous building like Neuschwanstein Castle and said it was his home, he might not be able to tell it apart.
Anyway, it's not a blind date that depends on how many suites there are in the other person's house and how the conditions of each suite are, let alone being a guest at someone's house.
After exchanging messages with Ye Yingzhi for two weeks in this way, apart from the fact that the other party likes to say "big words" that are not in line with real life, Chi Yan is more and more like this friend who is only met on the Internet, and Ye Ying Zhi's speech is very agreeable and easy, and he always has a way to make himself happy.
So when the other party asked him for his mobile phone number, he did not hesitate to give it to him - this is completely contrary to the education he has received since elementary school: "Don't trust strangers on the Internet" and "Don't easily disclose your personal information" .
Anyway, this is just his number in Australia, and it will definitely be cut off when he returns to China.
Twenty seconds after Chi Yan sent his phone number, his phone rang.
is an unfamiliar number.
Chi Yan has a limited social circle here in Australia. He usually communicates with teachers and classmates through email or instant messages, and hardly anyone will call him. When the phone rang, Chi Yan had already vaguely guessed who the number belonged to.
He paused with his fingertips, swiped on the screen to answer, then picked up the phone and put it to his ear.
There was a low and gentle young male voice over there, which was better than he had imagined. His timbre gives people the feeling of calm and prudent, which sounds completely different from that naughty Tom Ye who likes to send himself all kinds of cute expressions.
"I think it's time for you to help me correct my pronunciation." Ye Yingzhi said softly, with a smile in his voice.
Chi Yan heard this voice, and the left half of her face, which was close to the phone, became inexplicably hot.
Uncomfortably, he switched the phone to his right hand—the faces should be treated the same.
