During the few days when the rumors spread, He Jin had a little fever, because he was unwell, and he was in the school dormitory at 2:10 and 1st line on weekdays, completely unaware that there were rumors outside.
What's more, although it is human nature to gossip, in a school like Huada, there are still a large number of students who don't hear what's going on outside the window and only live in their own world.
Qin Yang personally took care of buying and delivering meals, and reminded He Jin to take medicine and sleep when the time came. He was as considerate as a 24-year-old boyfriend. After hearing something, Hou Dongyan didn't dare to mention it in front of He Jin under Qin Yang's instructions, so, By the time He Jin realized something was wrong, it was already half a month later.
That day, the counselor called and asked him to go to the office of the department. He Jin thought that Teacher Li was going to talk to him about the graduate school, so he hurried over, and the other party did indeed tell him this.
"Xiao He, how are you thinking about the insurance research?" Teacher Li asked straight to the point.
"I'm still thinking about it." He Jin was a little embarrassed.
"Your grades were good last semester. The scholarship has already been issued. Have you received it? Keep it up." Teacher Li flipped through the files in his hand and said, "I asked the student union about your recent situation two days ago. How do I hear that you haven't done any activities for a long time?"
"Yes, I was a little bit powerless last semester." He Jin confessed.
"To be honest, we professionally select students who stay in the graduate school, and we look at the overall quality. You have a balance of both sides, and the school has always been very optimistic. There is no dispute about staying in school in the future. So, if you decide to stay in the graduate school, The student work still needs to be done, don't give up..." Teacher Li babbled a lot, and He Jin was a little distracted.
It suddenly occurred to He Jin that once he stays in school, he will be in contact with the students the most. In the end, he will do the same job as the student union, but he quit the student union because he is tired of working with the students. If he chooses this path, he will do what he does not want to do. , does that still make sense
Thinking of this, He Jin already wanted to refuse.
Teacher Li was talking, and suddenly said: "By the way, He Jin, I have one more thing to remind you."
He Jin withdrew his thoughts and looked at Teacher Li seriously.
Teacher Li's voice was a little softer, but his expression was quite serious: "I heard that you recently got very close to Qin Yang, a sophomore classmate?"
He Jin was shocked, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"The school is not qualified to take care of this kind of thing, but society has not yet reached this level of civilization, especially at this juncture, the graduate school stays in school, and there are only a few places in the whole college. With so many eyes watching, you have to pay more attention to the individual. style," Mr. Li saw He Jin's face turned pale, and paused, "You are all adults, I won't say some things explicitly, but it's actually not a big deal, okay, let's go back."
…
He Jin thought that "protecting research" was the focus of the conversation, but after the conversation, he realized that Mr. Li's ulterior motives were not in drinking, and reminding him to "pay attention" was the real thing!
He didn't even know how he walked out of the academy office, his legs felt like lead, and the mild and bright April sun made him unable to open his eyes.
He guessed that Mr. Li knew that these things might have something to do with the photos sent by Qin Yang, but he has no intention to blame Qin Yang now. After the incident, Qin Yang's retreat and apology moved him. He was not holding on to a little mistake. Those who don't let go, also know that these pressures are what they will face sooner or later, but now it comes a little faster, so fast that he can't resist it.
Pay attention to personal style, hehe, what a serious accusation this is!
If today, the object of his relationship was changed to a girl, Teacher Li would never say such things to him, but when two boys are together, no matter how normal they think they are, in the eyes of others, they have already been labeled "" Alien" label!
He Jin also wanted to be as brave as Qin Yang, but it was too difficult.
Because of his family experience since he was a child, what he cares most about is others' opinions and evaluations of him. He meticulously maintains his perfect appearance in front of everyone, for fear of going the wrong way or doing wrong things. For this reason, he is sensitive to everyone. Contemptuous, malicious, prejudiced eyes.
The counselor's last few words hit him hard on his body and face like a whip, making him unable to lift his head.
It was not a serious criticism, but a reminder, but it reminded He Jin of his childhood experience—kneeling on the ground and being savagely whipped by the woman with a feather duster, and repeatedly recalling those sharp insults "shameless" in his ears , "Playing with things and losing one's ambition", "No Promise"... Although the mother apologized and forgave her afterwards, these labels were firmly on him like birthmarks, and every time his behavior deviated a little The orbit of a normal person will be exposed, tearing his soul apart and devouring his perception.
The buzzing vibration of the bracelet pulled He Jin out of his fear, it was Qin Yang's call.
"Hey..." He Jin took a deep breath.
"Where is it?" Qin Yang asked over there.
He Jin calmed down a little when he heard the other party's voice, his eyes were a little sour... Qin Yang was his sin and also his redemption.
"Just now in the office of the department, the counselor asked me about the graduate school." He Jin said lightly.
"Oh? Have you decided?" Qin Yang asked with concern.
He Jin took a deep breath, looked up at the shining white sky, and said, "I give up, I want to work directly after graduation."
Although he can't be as brave as Qin Yang, He Jin still wants to make a step forward for the other party. Even this small action may cause him to be covered in bruises.
Qin Yang: "Okay, I will support you in whatever decision you make, do you want to go out for dinner to celebrate?"
He Jin: "There's nothing to celebrate."
Qin Yang laughed softly: "Idiot, don't you know that I'm making excuses to treat you to dinner? Emotional intelligence is really low."
He Jin: "..."
When eating in the evening, He Jin pretended to be relaxed and didn't mention what the counselor said at all. Qin Yang happily chatted with him about the interesting things on the tennis court in the afternoon, and he laughed too.
Going back after dinner, the two met He Jin's former classmates who had worked together in the student union. One of them regarded He Jin as a competitor, but He Jin never took it seriously. When they saw He Jin and Qin Yang, they snickered and were shocked at the same time, and said loudly on purpose: "Wow, I didn't expect them to be this kind of people..."
Both of them heard it, Qin Yang glanced at them coldly, then walked away with his arms around He Jin's shoulders, after two steps, He Jin kept a little distance from Qin Yang calmly.
Qin Yang was very sad, and comforted dryly: "Don't worry about what they say."
He Jin lowered his head and said "hmm"... hey, he just wanted to have a good relationship, but somehow he chose the most difficult path to pass the level.
Going to class the next day, He Jin obviously noticed that many strangers around him looked at him strangely. Within two days, he even received a text message from Tong Xuan, asking him what was going on with Qin Yang. This time, He Jin didn't have any reason to prevaricate.
He simply ignored the questioning and gossip of all the troublemakers. At the same time, he called the counselor back and expressed his intention to give up the graduate school. Teacher Li routinely expressed his regret, but did not persuade him to stay.
On the surface, He Jin and Qin Yang lived in peace, but he felt more and more pressure in his heart, and he became more and more silent. The surrounding environment made him want to escape. He fantasized about hiding with Qin Yang in a place where no one knew them. The place, just like in Xuexiang, so that they can fall in love unscrupulously.
Qin Yang also gradually felt that something was wrong, every moment of being alone with He Jin on campus made him feel as if he had stolen it, which was far from his ideal love.
Until the end of April, when Qin Yang played the game alone, Ye He asked him about his recent situation—the matter of Qin Yang and He Jin being together, Shi Shui and His Highness the Ninth Prince had already told them about it—Qin Yang told them about his recent troubles.
Xianyun asked strangely, "Why don't you move out?"
Yehe: "That's right, my brother and I were in college at the time, and we've been living outside since our sophomore year!"
These two sentences were like enlightenment, which woke Qin Yang up at once!
After going offline that night, Qin Yang went to He Jin's dormitory to discuss the matter with him.
"Moving out?" He Jin was a little shocked, this behavior seemed to be beyond his stereotyped thinking.
"Don't you want to live with me?" The two of them were standing at the entrance of the corridor where no one was at the moment, Qin Yang gently pulled him, pulled him into his arms, stroked his temples with the other hand, and whispered , "We just find a house near the school, and we come to class when we usually have classes, and we rarely interact with classmates."
He Jin asked nervously, "What about the dormitory? Renting a house requires rent?"
"Let him keep the dormitory empty. You can put all your things here. Let's buy new furniture, cups, etc." When Qin Yang said "quilt", his tone was particularly ambiguous, "The rent is at most two to three thousand a month. , it’s worth the money to buy peace and freedom.”
Qin Yang originally wanted to say "you don't have to worry about the rent", but his previous experience taught him to be good. He knew that doing so would hurt He Jin's self-esteem, so he didn't mention it. Seeing the hesitation in He Jin's eyes, Qin Yang Further coaxing: "Let's build a home together, a world that only belongs to us, shall we?"
He Jin's heart was hit by this sentence, and he was so moved that he said "I'll think about it" and went back to the dormitory first.
Lying on the bed at night, He Jin tossed and turned, so excited that he couldn't fall asleep, because the recent avoidance of the surrounding environment made him look forward to Qin Yang's proposal... Moving out with his boyfriend, this is probably the last thing he will do in college What a crazy thing!
Early the next morning, Qin Yang called with a nasal voice just waking up, telling He Jin that he searched for a house on the Internet last night and found the early morning.
It turned out that he was not the only one who couldn't fall asleep, He Jin said speechlessly, "Why did you start looking for it so quickly?" Although he was complaining, there was a hint of excitement in his tone.
Qin Yang heard it, and seized the opportunity to pester him coquettishly: "You live downstairs from me, but I can only call you every day to say good morning, I'm so upset... We will live together in the future, and I will come together every day. I can see you."
He Jin was blushing and heartbeating at what he said, and asked, "How about those houses you saw?"
Hearing this sentence, Qin Yang secretly laughed. It seems that He Jin has already agreed: "I have picked a few, and I will contact the agent to see the house after class today. Shall we go together?"
"Well, let me check the time." He said so, but when Qin Yang called him in the afternoon, He Jin couldn't wait to follow.
After looking at the houses for three days in a row, the two chose a one-bedroom house about 500 meters away from the east gate of the school. Because the decoration was good and the house was clean, the rent was five or six hundred more expensive than those in the same area, which cost three thousand and eighty. a month.
He Jin felt a pain in the flesh, but Qin Yang liked it very much. He Jin thought about the 400,000 yuan in his card that had not been touched. He Jin gritted his teeth and decided.
