Ye Fei ignored him and opened his e-mail. Since the phone fell into the sea and short-circuited, she sent an email to Bai Xia every one or two days, asking her to call her home to report safety. Over the past two days, I was so excited, I forgot about it. Her gaze flicked over a series of unread letters from Xu Pengcheng, and she saw that Bai Xia had also sent several letters in succession, and the last two letters were still marked with exclamation marks. Ye Fei secretly yelled badly, borrowed Chen Jiajun's cell phone, and called Bai Xia.

"You finally appeared." Bai Xia let out a long sigh.

"Um, something is going on, too busy." She glanced at Chen Jiajun, who came out wiping her face, and lowered her voice.

"Busy? I think you are playing crazy!" teased over the receiver, "Don't hurry up and call home, your mother has been looking for you for a few days!"

Ye Fei hung up the phone and looked up: "I have to... contact my family."

"It should be." Chen Jiajun picked up the cigarette case and lighter on the table, "I'll go downstairs to smoke." He walked out, turned around and closed the door.

Ye Fei dialed the IP number and called the landline at home. It was her mother who picked it up. The tens-year-old still had a clear voice. He heard that it was a daughter, and his tone increased by an octave: "Ye Fei, where did you go? I don’t know how to call home!"

"I ask Bai Xia to contact you." She defended, "My phone fell into the sea, don't you know?"

"I know..." Mom answered, "It was nothing, but we don't know. You still have such serious concerns when you go out this time."

"Ah, what's up?" Ye Fei was guilty of conscience, "I just want to come and play."

"Want to keep it?" Mother's ending voice raised, "Such a big deal."

"I..." Ye Fei was sweating coldly, and couldn't think of how, how could his family members who are thousands of li away grasp the latest trends of his own? But where did she leak any clues

Just listen to my mother continuing to say: "I know you are in a bad mood, and I don't want us to worry.

"I didn't..."

"Don't lie to me, Pengcheng came two days ago."

"What?" Ye Fei jumped up, "What is he going to do?"

"In a hurry, I came here for two days, knowing that you are not at home, so I came to see me and your dad specially."

Ye Fei rubbed his brows: "Mom, that, we... broke up."

"He told us about both of you."

"I have said all? I have said all of them?" Ye Fei snorted disdainfully, "Are you sure?"

"Well, I said, he was going on vacation with others." Ye Mu replied, "I was scolded by me."

"It's a vacation? He's so embarrassed to tell you this." Ye Fei angered him to alarm his parents, "Swear him, just go out."

"He also said that he almost made a mistake. If we don't forgive, we will beat him out." Ye Mu paused, "He said he couldn't find you, he came to the house to admit his mistake, and hope we give him a chance. "

Ye Fei had a headache: "Mom, do you think I should forgive him?"

"Forgive or not forgive, this matter should always be closed, hasn't it been hiding?"

"I didn't hide from him... I..." Ye Fei thought for a while, "I have nothing to say with him."

"Don't give me a chance to explain?" Ye Mu asked inquiringly, "If he really reined in the precipice..."

Ye Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "Before he went abroad, didn't you tell us that the most important thing for both parties is understanding, trust and loyalty?"

"He's the pressure, it depends on how you decide. I won't help you decide." Ye Mu said, "The main reason is that you liked him so much before and wanted to get married when you graduated. If you want to give him a chance, we can stop him. Live with you? If you feel reluctant, let him cool down wherever he goes."

"No." She replied categorically, "I and him, it's absolutely impossible."

"How to deal with this matter, let's talk about it when you come back." Ye Mu sighed, "The key is that you figured it out by yourself, lest you feel uncomfortable."

Ye Fei bit his lip and said seriously: "I figured it out."

"Just figure it out. My girl is so good, and she tied him up?" Mother Ye laughed, "However, don't think too much on the road. I am mainly worried about you, for this matter. Unhappy, absent-minded and dazed when going out. You see, mobile phones can fall into the sea."

Ye Fei's heart warmed: "Mom, don't worry, I won't, it's purely an accident." She thought to herself, I had lost a motorcycle, stepped on a coral to save someone, and was beaten with blue eyes, and there are many other things. Son, I can't tell you.

"Well, be careful of yourself. Come back soon." Ye Mu relaxed a little, and chatted with Ye Fei about her itinerary.

She answered one by one, and then said: "This is someone else's phone, international long distance, not much to say."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun came back ten minutes later and took all her luggage. Ye Fei returned the phone to him, as if caught in the middle of two worlds, feeling a little dazed for a while. He didn't say anything, and handed over a warm oil paper bag. Ye Fei held it in her hand, moved her lips, and stopped talking. Chen Jiajun smiled slightly: "I didn't contact the family, did your mother say you?"

"Ok."

"Have you ever told you to stay away from strange men?"

Ye Fei was speechless.

"It's late." He laughed. "Just left a room."

"How do you explain to the front desk?"

"Oh, he didn't ask, this is professional ethics."

She was curious: "If you ask, say you quarreled with your girlfriend, and you made up again?"

Chen Jiajun lowered his eyes to look at her: "I said that I picked up a girl on the road and fell in love with me, and I must sleep together."

Ye Fei was going to beat him, Chen Jiajun smiled and avoided: "Hey, one hand oil, don't touch me."

She sat down and opened the oil-paper bag. Inside were square omelets, some of them resembling pancakes and fruits, for a bite, as well as sweet and salty beef fillings. "There are similar ones in China," Ye Fei said while eating, sitting leaning on the side of the bed, back to back with him.

He laughed, and hummed his back as he spoke: "China has everything."

She tilted her head and shook her feet: "No." There is no you there.

The two were silent for a moment.

Ye Fei said, "I called my mother just now, I didn't talk about you... I'm sorry."

Chen Jiajun didn't care, and his tone was calm: "It's okay. It's really not necessary, lest family members worry."

"Well, I will tell them when I find time later."

"How do you say? Just a few days ago, I was abducted." Chen Jiajun chuckled lightly, "If I were your father, I must teach that stinky boy."

Ye Fei also smiled, her heart still heavy, she hesitated for a moment, and decided to say: "Um... my ex-boyfriend, I went to my house." She felt that the people behind her became stiff, and hurriedly explained, "A few days ago The matter is gone."

He snorted coldly, and held Ye Fei sideways in his arms: "Don't think about it."

Her face was hot: "There was nothing wrong with him."

Chen Jiajun rubbed her chin against her hair, and his tone eased: "Can you do it yourself?"

Ye Fei nodded.

"I can't decide at other times," Ye Fei said, "but I must be free during the winter vacation. I'll come to you."

Chen Jiajun replied: "When is the holiday? I'll book your ticket for you."

"No, I come to see you, I buy tickets; you come to see me, you buy tickets." Ye Fei said seriously, "I can still earn money when I go back to work and do an internship. But you have to cover food and accommodation. "

"Then there will be no dormitories."

"Ok?"

He looked down at Ye Fei and smiled: "You can live with me." Let everyone know that she lives with him. This idea makes Ye Fei happy and embarrassed. The corners of his mouth are smiling and speechless, again. Expecting, but also nervous.

Just listen to Chen Jiajun said leisurely: "Unfortunately, there is no Aurora to watch."

Ye Fei remembered the invitation from Jaynes, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you jealous?"

He disagrees: "Let's go see it together later."

Chen Jiajun wiped Ye Fei's lips: "What do you and your family say, don't think about me." Either conceal it, or confess, the decision is left to her.

"Don't worry, they are very reasonable." Ye Fei listened to his heartbeat, feeling a little sour, "I have made a decision."

He said a sentence in English, and Ye Fei remembered that it was a lyrics that Songxi had sung.

We're ordinary people, maybe we should take it slow.

The future is still long, we are just mortals.

You can act recklessly in your own little world, and you have to take your time in the face of this big world.

Ye Fei was transiting in Guangzhou. The flight back to Beijing was delayed for two hours, and it was close to midnight when he arrived at the Capital Airport. She also didn't care about saving money, so she hurriedly took a taxi back to school, bit her scalp and woke up the auntie, and said a series of nice things with a smile on her face. Many graduate students stayed for internships during the summer, and the dormitory building was not deserted. Ye Fei opened the door on his hands, washed briefly, and fell asleep on the bed.

Beijing in the dog days is as hot as a huge steamer, and when the sun rises, it is hot and scorching, and hiding in the shade of the trees is noisy, as if every leaf is hissing. Ye Fei was sweating on her body, and there was some upset in her heart. She was still thinking about it, in such a sultry weather, she needed to swim in the sea. But the sound of the sea tide that echoed every night in her ears has disappeared. Yes, she has left the island. With her eyes closed, the warm yellow halo seems to be Chen Jiajun's peaceful sleeping face.

In the past few days with him, she had never realized that she was getting farther and farther away from the sea, but this idea gradually became clear at this time. Ye Fei was reluctant to give up and wanted to stay half-dream and half-awake, but the sound and light around her became more and more real. She lay on her side on the pillow, opened her eyes, and through the cloth curtains, the sun was still shining, and the crowded bedroom seemed familiar and unfamiliar. She flattened her mouth, her nose became sore, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

The first thing I did when I got up was to turn on the computer to send a message to Chen Jiajun, saying that he had arrived safely, so he would buy a new mobile phone during the day. He replied one after a while, and seemed to have been waiting for her at the computer, simply saying, I got it.

Ye Fei made a crying face: "The three kilograms of mangosteen you brought me was stopped by the customs. I knew I would have eaten it up on the plane."

Chen Jiajun just installed the Chinese input method. Under the guidance of Ye Fei, he picked up the Chinese Pinyin that had not been used for many years, and kept showing the input status. After a while, he came out with a short line: "Buy it next time."

"Still in Kuala Lumpur? What do you plan to do today, to see old friends and business partners?"

"Jump off from KLCC (Petronas Petronas Twin Towers)."

Ye Fei smiled: "Don't miss me too much."

His slow input seemed reserved: "I don't want to. Finally left."

Finally gone.

Chen Jiajun sat in front of the spacious bay window, stretched his legs, held the notebook, and tried twice before typing out the pinyin. The veil-like morning mist drifted in the sun, and he squinted, looking at the twin towers rising from the ground in the center of the city. This hotel has a high terrain, overlooking the bustling city, row upon row of tall buildings and busy streets paved silently in the morning light.

He still remembered that as soon as Ye Fei came in, he saw the frosted glass wall between the bathroom and the bedroom. His face was flushed red, and he gritted his teeth and squinted: "No wonder you searched for a long time and called to confirm." Chen Jiajun felt Funny, he hasn't been here soon after this hotel opened. He was completely attracted by its condescending location and called, just to confirm the direction of the windows. The hazy glass partition was an unexpected surprise, and he expressed his satisfaction.

He put down his backpack, strode to the window, and opened the heavy floor-to-ceiling curtain. The bright lights of the city are like stars falling under your feet, and the twin towers blooming in the night are like shining crystals.

After sending Ye Fei to the airport, the once lively room disappeared without her figure and voice, and instantly became extremely deserted. There was a light rain last night. Two people cuddled in front of the window looking at the night view. He was facing the computer screen alone to refresh the flight status. The water drops on the glass windows reflect the colorful night of the city, like a canvas painted by hand. Ye Fei's flight was delayed, two hours late. Knowing that she landed safely, his heart was only half down.

Ye Fei washed her face and brushed her teeth, took two deep breaths into the wash mirror, patted her face, and cheered herself up. In just a few months, it passed by gritting her teeth. Roommate Zhao Xiaoting had an internship at a foundation in the summer and told Ye Fei that Xu Pengcheng had been here for many days.

"We don't even remember which island you went to. If he knew the name, he might chase after him." Zhao Xiaoting asked tentatively, "I think he is quite sincere. Would you like to talk about it?"

Ye Feimu said nothing. She thought for a moment, and pursed her lips: "I'll talk about it." Mom was right, she couldn't keep hiding. He also promised Chen Jiajun swearly that he could handle it. Can't hide the one who should have come.

It's been ten days since Xu Pengcheng returned to the country. The American tutor took on a new scientific research project. He didn't have many vacations. He had to rush back in a few days. He didn't expect Ye Fei to stay in Beijing and wait for her obediently. He didn't expect that everyone couldn't tell where she was. The phone was always turned off, and the text messages and e-mails sent out were completely ignored. He learned from Zhao Xiaoting that Ye Fei would also rush back for an internship, as if holding the last straw, he would wait in front of the dormitory every day.

It was already very hot before noon. Xu Pengcheng stood in the shade of the trees for a while, the sun was so white that people couldn't open their eyes. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the crowd, a familiar and dexterous figure walked past, a simple T-shirt and denim shorts, with a ponytail high up, dangling with the light footsteps. Among the girls holding parasols, she was a little shameless. Xu Pengcheng didn't dare to recognize it at first glance, and then took another look to confirm that it was Ye Fei. He made three steps in two steps, and ran forward to grab her arm.

Ye Fei was pulled abruptly, turned around, and faced a face with anger and anxiety. He has been in the heat for a long time, his face is a bit haggard and tired, but he is still a beautiful young man, with slightly raised lips, always smiling. He is slender, thin, but well-proportioned and strong, looks gentle and handsome, and does not appear weak. It's no wonder that in the crowds of canteens, classrooms and libraries, he was always seen at first sight.

It's just that everything has become a thing of the past. Ye Fei looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him. Not only was there no throbbing in her heart, but also the resentment and boredom that she thought would appear. Unexpectedly calm. She stared at Xu Pengcheng, but she had some pity.

"Let go." Ye Fei lowered his eyes and looked at his hand holding his arm.

Xu Pengcheng seemed to be afraid of her running away, and didn't relax his hands.

Ye Fei didn't want to tear with him in front of everyone, and moved his arm slightly: "I said, let go. I didn't plan to run, let's explain everything today." She didn't have a loud voice, but her tone was calm and determined.

"Aren't you hiding from me?" He didn't believe it.

"I didn't hide, it happened to be not there." Ye Fei took a deep breath, "Say as you walk, don't stand on the side of the road and let your classmates watch the excitement."

Xu Pengcheng gritted his teeth: "I know, you hate me."

"You think too much, I really don't hate you." Ye Fei smiled coolly, "I just discovered that hate is a very deep feeling. I have no for you."

Xu Pengcheng was upset: "I admit that I was wrong, but the crime is not dying, don't you even give me the opportunity to correct? In the past few months, I have written to you, called you, you have heard me An explanation?"

"I probably know something about you and her."

"Don't believe others' words of added fuel and jealousy."

"I didn't." Ye Fei raised his head and looked at him calmly. "She's the junior sister you mentioned, right? You go to the airport to welcome the newcomer and pick it up."

Xu Pengcheng did not deny it.

"In the first month or two, you will always talk about her, tell me about gatherings together, and mention her name."

"At that time there was nothing..."

"Yes." Ye Fei nodded, "you won't mention it later."

"..."

She continued: "I didn't notice it at the time. Now thinking about it, probably something has gone wrong."

Xu Pengcheng was silent.

Indeed, in the first year, the girls in the United States became more and more dependent on him. They always seemed timid, and when they were sad they would weakly lean on his shoulder and cry. He felt like a knight who rescued the princess in trouble, full of vigor.
