In the evening, Wan Qiu lowered his head and did his homework, and Chu Yigui was beside Wan Qiu.
The rustling sound of the pen tip hitting the paper overlapped with the sound of Chu Yigui's computer fan running.
Suddenly, Chu Yigui heard Wan Qiu speaking.
"I haven't found a solution to the problem today. I need some more time."
Wan Qiu didn't look up, but lowered his head and continued to think about the homework problem.
Chu Yigui did not get bogged down in work again.
He stared at Wan Qiu who was thinking seriously about the problem under the bright desk lamp.
The light shines on Wanqiu's face and eyes, as if at any time, Wanqiu's future is filled with light.
Chu Yigui knew very well that Wan Qiu might not be able to understand what he was thinking now.
It was like playing hide-and-seek with my eyes blindfolded, but I was trying very hard to listen to his voice and identify the direction bit by bit.
However, Wan Qiu really thought about him seriously, which was sweet enough for Chu Yigui.
The phone next to the computer lit up.
The caller ID above made Chu Yigui's gentle expression pause slightly.
The computer was on standby, and Chu Yigui went to the balcony with his cell phone.
They were currently living in a residence near a high school. The temperature on the balcony was a bit low, which quickly took away the warmth from Chu Yigui's body.
With weather like this, it will probably snow soon.
Chu Yigui thought.
He answered the phone.
"Remember the return."
"Aunt Yang, good evening." Chu Yigui said.
"Is what I heard true?" Yang Xiaoyu asked directly.
"If there is no problem in conveying the message, yes." Chu Yigui also answered quietly.
Yang Xiaoyu was silent for two seconds: "When did you start to have this idea?"
Chu Yigui exhaled and vaguely saw white mist.
"I always felt that I had stolen Wan Qiu's life and I needed to compensate him."
Yang Xiaoyu on the other end of the phone waited quietly for Chu Yigui to finish speaking.
"But I got things from Wan Qiu again. The more I got, the less I could repay him. Maybe it would be better to give Wan Qiu everything I could, so I did it."
Yang Xiaoyu suddenly said: "You should tell Chu Zhang about this, maybe it can inspire him to write a song."
Chu Yigui tilted his head, his expression calm: "Brother Chu Zhang may not have any inspiration when facing me."
"Your analogy is very interesting. Can liking something be given away casually?" Yang Xiaoyu did not try to reason with Chu Yigui like Chu Jianshu did.
"Because Wan Qiu himself is attractive enough to me." Chu Yigui said.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled.
It seemed that Wan Qiu was happy because he received high praise from Chu Yigui.
"I don't agree with you and Wan Qiu being together." Yang Xiaoyu said.
Chu Yigui was not sad about this: "I only care about Wan Qiu's thoughts."
Yang Xiaoyu paused for two seconds, then let out a long sigh.
"Do you know how easy it would be for us to make it so that you never see Wan Qiu again?"
What Yang Xiaoyu said was true, and Chu Yigui knew it too.
"I will try my best to find out where he is." Chu Yigui said.
"And then you can go to him anytime?"
"No." Chu Yigui answered slowly, "It means that when he looks for me, I can go find him anytime."
Yang Xiaoyu asked back with some doubt: "You said this because you know that I just don't want Wan Qiu to be wronged?"
Wan Qiu will definitely look for Chu Yigui, and Yang Xiaoyu will definitely be soft-hearted. Yang Xiaoyu’s words were not true from the beginning.
"Hmm..." Chu Yigui stammered, which was rare, and did not answer.
Yang Xiaoyu seemed to be silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "How far have you progressed?"
Chu Yigui was stunned: "What?"
"Have you gone to bed?" Yang Xiaoyu asked.
"No." Chu Yigui was obviously confused by Yang Xiaoyu's sudden question.
"Have you ever kissed?" Yang Xiaoyu asked.
"Yes." Chu Yigui answered honestly.
Yang Xiaoyu took a breath and said, "Did you force him? No, no, no, it's impossible. How could you force Wan Qiu..."
"It was from Wan Qiuti."
“…”
“…”
"Why would he make such a request?" Yang Xiaoyu's thoughts gradually began to deviate. "Tell me the truth, could it be that Wan Qiu liked you first and proposed to you, and then you suddenly started to go crazy?"
"I was the first one." Chu Yigui said, "He just wanted to confirm whether he liked me."
Yang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Will you force him?"
Chu Yigui chuckled, and before he answered, Yang Xiaoyu answered it himself.
"Okay, I know you're asking knowingly, but if he asks you to do it, will you do it?...Okay, this is also asking knowingly." Yang Xiaoyu felt that he could not find any fault with the way Wan Qiu and Chu Yigui get along. "Is there anything you would definitely refuse Wan Qiu?"
Chu Yigui had never thought about this question.
He spent a long time thinking.
Too bad he didn't find the answer.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled: "If he asks you to leave him, will you leave?"
Chu Yigui lowered his eyes.
Unlike Chu Jianshu, Yang Xiaoyu's job obviously allows her to better understand people and read their minds.
If they really want to be affected, the only breakthrough point is Wan Qiu.
Chu Yigui closed his eyes and felt the wind blowing towards him, taking away the last bit of warmth.
My fingers were in the cold air and I couldn’t even feel the temperature of the phone.
"Yes." Chu Yigui said.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled.
Through the phone, Chu Yigui couldn't see Yang Xiaoyu's current expression.
Perhaps it is the same arrogance and ego as always, looking down on everything.
"Okay, I'm not planning on doing anything." However, Yang Xiaoyu relented, "I owe Wan Qiu so much, I can't bear to force him to do anything. The only thing I'm worried about is what if Wan Qiu falls in love with a piece of trash in the future."
Yang Xiaoyu really considered this possibility seriously.
"I have long been prepared for Wan Qiu to fall in love with anyone. No matter what, it is better to strike first."
Chu Yigui listened quietly. This was still in line with Yang Xiaoyu's thinking.
"If it were you, I'd feel a lot more relaxed."
Yang Xiaoyu's voice was no longer as serious as before, but rather a little lazy.
"You don't have any unclean relatives, so you can marry into the family directly. We Wanqiu can still stay at home forever. You don't have the ability to treat us Wanqiu badly. Besides... you can still be my son."
Chu Yigui's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Afterwards, Yang Xiaoyu gloated and said, "Just try your best. After all, you are not sure whether Wan Qiu really likes you, right?"
Chu Yigui sighed silently: "I will try my best."
"You want to pass the test with Jianshu, not with me?" Yang Xiaoyu asked.
A faint, barely perceptible smile finally appeared on Chu Yigui's face.
"I will try my best."
"Speaking of which, how is Wan Qiu doing recently..."
Yang Xiaoyu and Chu Yigui chat about family matters when they have nothing to do.
She really didn't seem to care who Wan Qiu was dating, or whether the person he was dating was Chu Yigui.
Yang Xiaoyu does not have the same concerns as Chu Jianshu. Her personality is very different from Chu Jianshu's, which fully demonstrates her character.
For Yang Xiaoyu, nothing else matters except Wan Qiu himself.
Chu Yi returned to the room only after the call was hung up.
The warmth in the room instantly enveloped Chu Yigui, jumping around him in an attempt to dispel the intense cold.
Chu Yigui had his back to the floor-to-ceiling window, but for some unknown reason he turned his head back.
He looked out the window.
There are fine, white snowflakes falling.
It's snowing.
It is very small and can barely be seen under the light.
Chu Yigui raised his eyes and looked into the room.
In this not very big house, his voice can be conveyed to Wan Qiu more easily.
"Wanqiu, it's snowing."
The voice had a slightly cool tone that sounded like a call, but it was mixed with a subtle joy of wanting to share what one had seen.
There was the sound of chairs being pushed aside in confusion.
Wan Qiu came out of the bedroom, walked past Chu Yigui, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
He looked up at the fine snowflakes falling in the darkness outside the window.
"It's so small, I can't see anything." Wan Qiu looked out the window
"Because it's night, it's hard to see." Chu Yigui looked at Wan Qiu.
"We should see snow on the ground tomorrow." Wan Qiu turned around, "Do we need to wear cotton clothes tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Chu Yigui nodded.
"It's only when it snows that we feel winter has come." Wan Qiu withdrew his hand.
Chu Yigui passed by and was about to go back to do his homework, but seemed to notice something and stopped.
Chu Yigui lowered his head, and Wan Qiu also turned his head to look at him.
Suddenly Wan Qiu hugged him.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yigui asked.
"You're cold, let me warm you up." Wan Qiu said.
Chu Yigui lowered his eyes and hugged Wan Qiu.
The warm temperature, like that of a small stove, robbed him of all his chill faster than the cozy warmth in the room.
“I hope that every winter in the future, we can wait for the first snow together.”
When Chu Yigui's voice reached Wan Qiu's ears, Wan Qiu's eyes widened.
Although he really wanted to see Chu Yigui's expression, Chu Yigui hugged him very tightly.
Wan Qiu buried his head in Chu Yigui's shoulder.
An inexplicable, silent joy seemed to spread through the heart bit by bit.
——
Wan Qiu was really thinking very hard.
What is the right thing to do after falling in love with someone?
Chu Yigui should give him something so that Chu Yigui's love for him can be taken for granted.
Although Wan Qiu felt that there was no connection between the two, if Chu Yigui was worried about it, then there must be a reason.
Although Wan Qiu wanted to find a solution on his own, unfortunately, after trying for a few days, he found that he simply did not have the ability to do so.
Although he really wanted to find someone to ask, Wan Qiu carefully counted his friends and felt that there were not many friends he could discuss with.
Zhou Peiyu prefers chasing stars to falling in love, while Wang Yue is just talking big and gets angry when she hears about Chu Yigui.
It seems that Fu Zhengyu is not as smart as him.
Although Brother Li Shuo has had many girlfriends, he definitely treats girls and boys differently.
The other friends are too old, so there must be a generation gap.
Wan Qiu thought for a long time and felt that the only people he could ask were Huang Hu and Lu Qinghe.
He was not that familiar with Lu Qinghe, so the only person he could discuss with was Huang Hu.
But thinking of Huang Hu, Wan Qiu sighed.
Huang Hu is also a person who is always busy with work, so he probably doesn't have time to listen to him talk about love.
"What's wrong with you lately? You seem particularly listless?" Wang Yue leaned over to Wan Qiu's side, "Pre-holiday depression?"
Wan Qiu looked down at the ground, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"If you have something to say, say it. It makes me uncomfortable to see you like this." Wang Yue interrupted Wan Qiu's thoughts directly.
"I'm thinking about love." Wan Qiu said.
Wang Yue raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you going to fall in love with the person you replied to last time? Did you exchange contact information in the letter?"
"No." Wan Qiu shook his head.
"Who is that? Did you fall in love with him/her at first sight?" Wang Yue asked.
"..." Wan Qiu, who didn't know how to answer, quietly looked away, learning from Chu Yigui's attitude of keeping quiet when asked questions he didn't want to answer.
Wang Yue narrowed his eyes.
"What are you thinking about in love?" Wang Yue asked.
"If you like someone, what is the right thing to do?" Wan Qiu seized the opportunity and immediately asked Wang Yue.
"Not a crime, not a moral condemnation?" Wang Yue didn't understand Wan Qiu's train of thought for a moment.
Wan Qiu was stunned.
Wang Yue narrowed his eyes, feeling that Wan Qiu's reaction was a little strange.
"So what should you do when you like someone? If you have low self-esteem."
"What are you feeling inferior about?"
Wan Qiu and Wang Yue stared at each other.
Wan Qiu didn't know why Chu Yigui felt so inferior.
"Feeling inferior in love..." Wang Yue thought for a moment, "Is it a status issue? Or do you think the other person is too good and you are not worthy of him/her? Or is he/she short? Ugly? Who do you like that makes you feel inferior?"
Wan Qiu looked at Wang Yue eagerly, but he couldn't put the points of inferiority mentioned by Wang Yue on Chu Yigui.
But the identity...
Could it be that Chu Yigui minds that he has no relatives now?
"Generally speaking, it takes a very strong heart to pursue someone who is better than you." Wang Yue narrowed his eyes, "Just like I can't even imagine pursuing Mr. X. Excuse me, I can only lick the screen."
Wan Qiu knew that this X was referring to the protagonist of the latest novel that Wang Yue was following.
Wan Qiu was a little discouraged. As expected, even Wang Yue, who had good theoretical knowledge, found this situation difficult to handle.
Wang Yue looked at Wan Qiu and suddenly asked, "Is the person you are dating from our school? Will you be discovered? Aren't you afraid of being expelled?"
Wan Qiu suddenly choked.
I forgot that falling in love would mean dropping out of school.
"But you should not be afraid of dropping out of school. Your parents will definitely protect you. As for what the other party will do, it's not certain." Wang Yue said as a matter of course.
"He is not from this school and will not be expelled." Wan Qiu said hesitantly.
"That's no problem!" Wang Yue slapped Wan Qiu on the back, "Let me see what you look like."
"..." Wan Qiu pretended not to hear.
Wang Yue's expression was subtle, she had a vague feeling of weirdness.
"What do you think about your relationship with Chu Yigui?" Wang Yue suddenly asked.
"Yigui... Yigui... haven't said it yet..." Wan Qiu looked away, not daring to look Wang Yue in the eye.
"Although I really don't want to ask this, but the person you like shouldn't be Chu Yigui, right?"
Although Wang Yue was not a sensitive person, Wan Qiu's behavior was so deliberate that it was hard for her not to notice it.
Wan Qiu suddenly paused.
Wan Qiu, who could not lie at all, tried his best not to let Wang Yue see his eyes.
He hasn't officially started dating Chu Yigui yet, and Wang Yue will be angry if he tells her.
Wang Yue half-closed his eyes.
"When did you realize that you liked Chu Yigui?" Wang Yue asked.
"I don't know either." Wan Qiu murmured in response.
"Then how can you be sure that you like Chu Yigui?" Wang Yue asked again.
"Didn't you say before that you can know whether you like someone just by kissing them?"
Wang Yue: "Did you kiss?"
Wan Qiu: "Well, I want to give it a try, and Yigui agreed."
Wan Qiu: “…”
Something seems to be wrong.
Wan Qiu looked at Wang Yue again, and Wang Yue looked at him, stunned.
Wan Qiu suddenly realized what he had said to Wang Yue.
I was so nervous that I spoke incoherently.
Suddenly Wang Yue grabbed Wan Qiu's wrist. Her expression was solemn, but her eyes were bright: "Let's talk after school!"
Wan Qiu was terrified: "Are you angry?"
"To be honest, I feel a little weird right now."
The sound of the bell for class interrupted the conversation between the two, and Wang Yue let go of Wan Qiu's hand.
"We have an appointment after school, you must do it!"
"Have dinner with me outside today and tell your driver not to pick you up!"
Wan Qiu and Wang Yue each returned to their own classroom.
Wan Qiu lay on the table before the teacher came in.
I don’t know why…
Compared to saying that he liked Chu Yigui, the real focus was not on Wang Yue knowing about this.
Wan Qiu's cheeks were slightly flushed.
He actually... told his friends that he liked Chu Yigui.
A subtle, bitter emotion is constantly emerging from the bottom of my heart, constantly hitting my cheeks. My mood is flying inexplicably, it's very weird.
When Wan Qiu was still packing his schoolbag after school, Wang Yue was already waiting impatiently at the door of his classroom.
Wang Yue pulled Wan Qiu and walked out of the school gate very quickly. If the ground wasn't too slippery in winter, Wan Qiu felt that Wang Yue was almost running.
Wang Yue brought Wan Qiu to a fast food restaurant. Wang Yue, who had always been poor, actually paid for fast food for the two of them out of his own pocket.
Wan Qiu felt that Wang Yue always seemed to be stingy with money, so he offered to reimburse Wang Yue.
But Wang Yue didn't seem to care that much about money today.
"You're not trying to scare me, are you?" Wang Yue inserted the straw directly into the cup, as if she was going to insert the straw somewhere else if Wan Qiu dared to speak nonsense.
"no."
"Do you really like Chu Yigui?" Wang Yue asked very seriously.
"It should be." Wan Qiu said.
"What do you mean by should?" Wang Yue slammed the table. Wan Qiu looked anxious but didn't dare to say anything. "No, if you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you still don't like it. How can there be a should or shouldn't? Aren't you sure yourself?"
Wan Qiu was stunned and lowered his head.
"I like Yigui very much. To me, Yigui is different from others. I also like to kiss Yigui. I also think Yigui is different from others. This should mean I like her."
Wan Qiu's mumbling made Wang Yue look at him eagerly.
Is it because of the lighting?
Is Wan Qiu blushing now?
"Oh my god, even though I've been praying to you every day, I never thought it would be real. Are you serious? Have you ever thought about what will happen to you if you and Chu Yi get together?"
Wan Qiu didn't understand.
"You are two boys. Boys dating is different from normal men and women dating. If people find out, people will gossip about you."
Wang Yue was still somewhat worried.
Wan Qiu blinked and lowered his head: "I know."
"Don't you care?" Wang Yue asked hesitantly.
"Well, I don't really care. If Yigui cares, I would care."
Wang Yue was very surprised. It turns out that people in love really only look at each other.
"Then do you know that Chu Yigui likes you?" Wang Yue asked.
"Yigui said he likes me." Wan Qiu also said.
I don't know why, even though I'm very sure about something, it feels like I'm showing off when I say it out loud.
Wang Yue asked: "Are you dating now?"
Wan Qiu's expression suddenly froze.
Wang Yue raised an eyebrow: "What's the matter? He confessed to you, and you didn't accept it?"
Wan Qiu shook his head: "Yigui said he had low self-esteem and didn't want to date me."
Wang Yue bit the straw of Coke, his eyes full of shock.
"Chu Yigui? Inferiority complex? He is so handsome that he has no reason to feel inferior, right? If it were me, I would even support him."
But Wang Yue's expression became serious.
"Wait, it's not impossible. The tutor and the prince do have different statuses. So why did you choose Chu Yigui as your tutor? Is it because he's number one in his grade?"
When Wan Qiu heard Wang Yue's question, he suddenly realized something.
"Don't you know that Yigui is actually my younger brother?"
Wang Yue: “???”
Wan Qiu reacted and realized that he didn't seem to have told Wang Yue about Chu Yigui.
Wan Qiu suddenly had the idea of reviewing the past with Chu Yigui.
"I was stolen when I was five years old and raised in the countryside. Yigui was originally an orphan. He was adopted by my parents when he was seven years old. He was found by my parents when he was fourteen years old. I met Yigui before I went home. At that time, Yigui... was my younger brother."
Wan Qiu hasn't looked back on the past for a long time.
Wan Qiu still remembers the original Chu Yigui.
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be very different from the memory of now.
"Yigui has helped me a lot since the beginning. So much."
Even if they weren't so inseparable at the beginning.
Because of Yigui, he was able to get along well with his family more quickly.
Because of Yigui, he has the courage to do many things.
Because of Yigui, he was able to live a good life after returning to school. He also made many friends and met Fu Zhengyu and Li Shuoge.
It is said that it was because of Yigui that he came into contact with Teacher Jiang Chengfeng.
Because of Yigui, Wanqiu had the courage to make up for his stupidity with hard work and was even able to skip a grade.
Because of Yigui, he is very confident now.
It was also because of Yigui that he got rid of the influence of the "original text" on him.
Only then will he willingly accept that this world now belongs to him.
Because of the memories...
It’s the memory of home, the memory of home, and the memory of home.
It’s all because of Yigui.
Wan Qiu realized that his life seemed to be always filled with the shadow of Yigui.
Yigui is always by his side.
Wan Qiu suddenly realized that he had actually gained a lot from Chu Yigui.
Yigui has obviously given him so much, why would he say that he has nothing to give him?
Wan Qiu's voice gradually lowered. He didn't know why, even though he had just seen Yigui in the morning, he suddenly missed Yigui very much.
