It took nearly an hour and a half to drive from Ye's house to the airport. The flight was at 10 a.m., and Chen Youhan went to wait for him early in the morning. Qu Jia was surprised to see Chen Youhan, and after asking, she found out that she was there to see him off. She rolled her eyes, wrapped herself in her pajamas, kissed Ye Kai on the forehead, and went back to catch up on her beauty sleep.
Chen Youhan declined all appointments for this airport farewell trip. He went to bed before midnight for the first time and set three alarms. He was still yawning when he saw Ye Kai for the first time. He even took care of his hair, which made him look younger. Ye Kai was still washing up. He took him to the third floor and asked him to sit in the small living room and wait. Chen Youhan was not that stupid. He put his hands in his pockets and started patrolling his room.
He didn't come to Ye Kai's place often, but he wandered around and even flipped through his exercise books. His handwriting was neat and tidy, and even his drafts were very neat. He walked around and walked into the study. A European classical bookshelf stretched from floor to ceiling and covered an entire wall. Next to it was a three-step solid wood ladder with a rotary wheel. When Chen Youhan renovated his apartment, he also spent more than 100,000 yuan on books, filling the entire bookshelf. However, he bought them purely for decoration and would never open most of them in his life. He was bored and scanned the spines of the books one by one. His eyes fixed on a black walnut vertical square photo frame, which contained an old newspaper.
"Look at this day, the peach blossoms are so bright..." Chen Youhan muttered to himself, stunned, and after a while of reaction, he couldn't help but chuckled.
Opposite to it was a half-walled record and video stand, which held vinyl records and Blu-ray CDs that Ye Kai had bought from all over the world. He scanned the shelves and saw that most of them were foreign bands and instrumental music. He really couldn't understand why a song by Vivian Chow would be played on New Year's Eve. On the side table next to the single sofa chair, a dozen sunflowers were in full bloom in a blue ceramic vase. Chen Youhan's heart moved, thinking that this was the bouquet he brought back from the flower market. For some reason, he felt as if he and Ye Kai had some unspoken secret.
Ye Kai called him from the bedroom, presumably he had already prepared everything, Chen Youhan turned out and saw Ye Kai waiting for him with a backpack on one shoulder. He walked over, took the bag off his shoulder, and went downstairs with him.
Aunt Jia ordered someone to prepare breakfast, but Ye Kai was afraid of missing his flight, so he decided to go to the airport to see the time. Uncle Lu helped Ye Kai put the two suitcases into the trunk of Chen Youhan's Cayenne. Chen Youhan lent a hand, but he was very heavy and asked in surprise: "Are you moving?"
These were filled with the deep love and filial piety of the in-laws and daughter. Ye Kai had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly: "I'm just an ordinary porter."
Chen Youhan smiled and ruffled his hair: "Get in the car."
The traffic was good in the morning. Chen Youhan checked the navigation and saw that it would take an hour to get there, so he asked Ye Kai to take a nap after the phone check. Ye Kai didn't sleep. He turned on the local radio station and chatted with Chen Youhan. During the chat, he asked about the plans for the Spring Festival holiday. Chen Youhan was still thinking about the lie he told Ye Jin, so he repeated it casually. Ye Kai smiled. Not to mention the Indian Ocean, even if he went to Antarctica, he would just be in a different place to spend a night of debauchery. Chen Youhan was helpless. He was sleepy to begin with, and he couldn't smoke in the car. He was irritated and said to Ye Kai, "Yes, yes, I'm corrupt, dirty, and promiscuous. Can you criticize me in a different direction?"
Seeing that he was really angry, Ye Kai calmed down and apologized: "That's not what I meant."
The atmosphere of parting was gone, and both of them were holding back and not talking. After a while, Chen Youhan saw that Ye Kai had been silent for a long time, and thought that he was really angry, so he wanted to coax him, but when he turned around, he found that he had fallen asleep.
Ye Kai was sleeping quietly, his head slightly tilted on the cushion of the chair, his lips pursed naturally, two strands of hair drooped down from his forehead, covering his long black eyelashes. His breathing was also very shallow, and the morning light shone down from the side of the car window, shining on the tip of his slightly upturned nose.
Chen Youhan silently curled the corners of his lips and reached out to scratch the tip of his nose. Then he shook Ye Kai's hand. His body temperature was lower than his, and it was a little cool, but Chen Youhan felt as if he was burned, and quickly withdrew his hand.
Ye Kai was still confused when he arrived at the airport. He didn't expect that he would sleep so deeply. He felt a little depressed. Chen Youhan parked the car and pushed the luggage cart into the check-in hall with him. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the international long-distance flights were cold and there were not many people. Ye Kai checked in his luggage at the self-service check-in counter. When he looked at the watch, there were still two hours left, so he slowed down his pace towards the security check area.
Chen Youhan stopped at the right time, put his hands in his trouser pockets and said casually: "It's still early, accompany me to have breakfast."
They chose a tea restaurant and ordered shrimp dumplings, Lunjiao cakes, boat porridge, steamed pork ribs, barbecued pork buns, lava buns and durian egg tarts. All the sweets belonged to Ye Kai. Ye Kai was full as soon as he saw the portion: "You really think highly of me."
Chen Youhan broke open a quick-fried bun and fed it to his mouth, saying humbly, "Eat more candy to make you feel better, and when you feel better, you won't be angry."
Ye Kaixin's heart trembled slightly. He had never seen this side of Chen Youhan before.
Reluctantly, she took a small bite of his hand.
"Is it sweet enough?" Chen Youhan's hands were almost sore from holding the biscuits. Ye Kai chewed twice and shook his head.
Chen Youhan held his chin with one hand and raised his other hand, saying shamelessly: "Try it again, give him another chance."
So he lowered his head and took another bite. This time he bit into the filling in the middle, which was very sweet, but then bitter. Chen Youhan took back the remaining half, opened his mouth and took a bite, and asked, "Is it sweet enough?"
Ye Kai pretended to hesitate for a while, but couldn't help laughing. Chen Youhan felt relieved when he laughed, and she also laughed.
The two finished their breakfast in this tacit atmosphere. Chen Youhan carried his schoolbag and walked with him to the security check area. "Don't forget to do your winter vacation homework when you arrive in Vancouver."
What a fucking conversation.
Ye Kai took the schoolbag and said lazily, "I know." He walked into the security check area alone, raised one hand and waved without looking back.
The team wasn't big, but it was moving slowly. Ye Kai's phone vibrated, and he took it out, revealing a WeChat message. He opened it, and there was a small red dot on Chen Youhan's profile picture, with the words "Look back" written in the dialog box.
Ye Kai turned his head unconsciously to look for him. Chen Youhan was still standing there, standing casually with one hand in his trouser pocket. He stretched out his hand and waved, and his mouth shape seemed to say "bye". Ye Kai smiled, and then mercilessly replied to him with a message "boring".
There is no direct flight from Ning City to Vancouver. After transferring in Tokyo, the flight lasts for another 10 hours. It was the next day when he landed. The sun was rising. Ye Kai watched a magnificent sunrise through the porthole and took a few pictures with his mobile phone. After landing and connecting to the Internet, he sent the pictures to his family’s WeChat group and Chen Youhan.
After picking up the luggage and walking towards the exit, grandpa hugged grandma, and grandma held up a KT board with "Ye Kai Baby" on it. Ye Kai was pushing two suitcases and had no hands free, so he was hugged by each of them.
He is very familiar with Vancouver, which is basically like his second hometown. He has visited the city inside and out during his more than ten years of vacation there. Therefore, he came to accompany the elderly just to accompany them and do his winter vacation homework well as Chen Youhan said.
The two old people lived alone in a secluded wealthy area, and hired a maid and a gardener. Grandpa had to go to the company during the day, and when Ye Kai was bored, his grandmother would drive him around town and go to the suburbs to see the snow-capped mountains and glaciers. Apart from homework, he had nothing to do every day, taking Alaska walks in the morning and evening, and occasionally helping his grandmother weed and fertilize in the garden.
All Chinese people are funny. In the flower beds of foreigners, roses, tulips and poppies are vying for beauty, and the lawn is bright and beautiful. In my grandmother's garden, cherry trees are next to sweet potatoes, rose petals fall on the ridges of cabbage fields, and crisp white radishes are planted under the wisteria trellis. It is very simple and economical.
Wearing a straw hat, an apron and rubber boots, Ye Kai looked very real holding a hoe. His grandmother took many photos of him happily. The photos were sent to the group and caused a heated discussion. However, before the topic had cooled down, it was discovered the next day that all those who had been hit by the hoe had died. The relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren was immediately broken, and no one even tried to rescue them.
Chen Youhan laughed so hard that he couldn't hold his phone steady. He dialed a video call. Ye Kai was in the sunshine, his face was sunburned, and he looked like a small flower farmer wearing a bamboo hat. In the middle of winter, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with grievance: "I was kicked out by my grandmother." He was fully armed and planned to make up for his mistake, but he was shocked to never step into the flower garden again.
Chen Youhan said: "Show me your masterpiece."
The screen turned and showed a field of withered red leaves. Chen Youhan laughed out loud: "You should let them go. It's not easy to be born into this world, and you are the one causing trouble for them."
Ye Kai frowned and said, "I don't want to play anymore. I'm going to do my homework!"
Chen Youhan called him: "What date will you be back?"
Last year, the Chinese New Year was early, and school would not start until nearly 20 days after the Chinese New Year. Ye Kai planned to stay here for half a month, so he calculated: "Probably another two weeks." He also asked about the scenery of the Indian Ocean: "Is wilderness survival fun?"
"It's fun. Twenty beauties in bikinis are standing in a row on the beach dancing the Yangge. I just want to ask you if it's exciting or not." Chen Youhan joked absentmindedly.
"Vulgar." Ye Kai looked at him with disdain, and was knocked down by Alaska and licked madly.
"Jia Jia! Stop licking!" Ye Kai's face was covered with dog saliva, and he struggled with his phone. Jia Jia reluctantly let him go, and snorted at the screen with her paws on her shoulders. Chen Youhan also had an Alaskan dog at home, and he was familiar with teasing it through the network cable, asking: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Mother, little girl."
"Oh my god, Ye Kai," Chen Youhan said exaggeratedly, "You were sexually harassed by a little girl."
Ye Kai stroked his dog's head and decided to end the meaningless quarrel with Chen Youhan: "Come on, don't pollute the pure friendship between Jia Jia and me with your dirty views on gender. You should go have group sex with your bikini beauties."
The screen flashed, and the man and the dog disappeared neatly. Chen Youhan threw away his phone, took off his T-shirt and went to take a shower. Damn Indian Ocean, damn white beach bikini, he spent the three most pure and abstinent days of his life, without Yu Tian, without Wu Sijiu, without big breasted young models, without anyone.
Ye Kai stayed in the study room for two days, watching through the window as his grandmother hunched over to turn over the soil and plant new seedlings. He felt guilty, thinking that it would be good if he could weed without using the hoe. He went downstairs to the tool room, put on rubber mesh gloves, and walked into the winter sunshine with a flower basket containing pruning shears and a small spray bottle.
Outside the white fence, a young man stood with his hands in his pockets. He had a luxury brand travel bag on his shoulder with one hand and a cigarette between his fingers with the other.
Ye Kai stopped on the steps, his hand loosened and the flower basket fell to the ground.
"Excuse me," the young man half-raised his cigarette to indicate, "is this the home of the small flower farmer?"
His smile was so wicked that Ye Kai felt dizzy. His heart stopped for a moment and then started beating wildly. He couldn't even breathe and ran towards the fence with disorderly steps.
