Ye Kai fell ill when he returned home that night. His face was so hot that it would burn if a pancake was placed on it. He lay in a goose down quilt, drowsy and dreaming repeatedly. During the dream, he seemed to see Chen Youhan, who reached out to touch his forehead and sat down beside the bed. The feeling of the mattress sinking slightly was particularly real. Ye Kai reached out from the quilt to grab him, but he caught nothing. The feeling of loss when he woke up was particularly strong. The doors and windows were closed tightly, and all the sounds in the world disappeared.
Ye Kai coughed, startling Lan Man. A slender figure flashed at the door and then came to the bed: "Baby, my baby." Lan Man felt extremely distressed and touched his face and forehead: "How is it? Let grandma take a look."
After feeling around, Lan Man felt that the temperature was much higher than normal. She breathed a sigh of relief and deducted points from Chen Youhan: "Why are you watching the sea in the middle of the night? Youhan is just a child."
Ye Kai took the blame for him: "I was going there, and I was driving the car."
Lan Man glared at him complainingly: "What a big military medal, isn't it? Do you need me to snatch it from you?"
The servant brought the porridge up, and Lan Man took it and fed it herself. Ye Kai looked weak, so he didn't pretend to be nice to her. After drinking two sips, his empty stomach felt much better, so he asked casually: "Is Brother Youhan okay?"
"He's fine. He came back home after visiting you."
Ye Kai was stunned and said subconsciously: "So fast."
He returned to China right after the time difference was reversed. He really delivered the goods.
"They said there was something urgent going on at the company."
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Ye Kai leaned against the bed and looked at his phone. He realized that he had slept for two days. He opened WeChat and found it was full of messages. He scrolled down and found Chen Youhan's profile picture with a small red dot. He felt like he had won a prize. Chen Youhan's message was very brief: I have something to do at the company and I'm leaving first. Take care of yourself. He added: Tell me when you wake up and tell me the time to return. I'll pick you up.
Ye Kai held the phone, and for some reason, he began to look through the chat history between him and Chen Youhan. They didn't talk much, and Chen Youhan didn't usually bother this model student. The screen kept sliding up, and finally stopped at a video in January of this year. Ye Kai was slightly stunned, and clicked it again. Under the street light, Chen Youhan's face was smiling roguely, and his eyes were looking directly at the camera, with a lazy provocation. He said: "I, Chen Youhan, miss Ye Kai very much at this moment, and I can't help thinking about him... I want to see him now." The voice came through the microphone of the mobile phone, with an unreal rustling sound.
Ye Kai clicked on the collection button for some unknown reason.
When you go to sleep again, you will have a good dream.
Without Chen Youhan, life returned to doing homework, walking the dog, and tending the garden, as relaxed as a little god. A few days before leaving, the family drove to Whistler to ski. Ye Kai started snowboarding when he was very young, and his first experience of alpine skiing was in Whistler, which has always been rated as the best ski resort in North America by professional ski magazines. Every winter when he returns to Vancouver, he will ski here for a few days.
Qu Zhongli could no longer ski faster than him and fell behind Ye Kai, mesmerized by Ye Kai's amazing speed and beautiful figure. The grandson he had raised walked leisurely on the snow field, with the sharpness of a horse in fine clothes and the willfulness of carrying wine with osmanthus flowers.
The conifers covered with thick snow swept back quickly, and the snow goggles faced the sun, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. The snowboard suddenly stopped, stirring up a stream of snow. Ye Kai took off his helmet and breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought of bringing Chen Youhan to play with him, but it all came to nothing.
"Why did it stop?"
"Grandpa, record a video for me!"
Qu Zhongli brought a GoPro and had this plan in mind. He was quite surprised to hear Ye Kai take the initiative to ask for it. After all, except for the time when he helped correct his posture when they were children, he was very reluctant to be on camera at other times.
Ye Kai put on his helmet and goggles again, and said coolly, "Grandpa, I'll do some stunts later." He also reminded Qu Zhongli to be careful. Qu Zhongli had skied more snow sections than Ye Kai had walked, and he laughed in anger: "You'd better take care of yourself!"
Ye Kai was snowboarding. After skating for a while, he did a few pigeon jumps in a row to get a feel for it. Qu Zhongli shouted "Beautiful!" but Ye Kai ignored him. He was fully focused. The road conditions ahead were good, so he did some fancy skating. When he reached the platform, he lowered his center of gravity and calmed down. He slid towards the U-shaped head at a very fast speed. The powder snow was rubbed with a "swish" sound. He and his board flew high into the air. The skateboard turned 180 degrees inward in the air. The back edge was caught by the front hand, and then he landed easily.
He changed several moves after several jumps, and then flew into the forest snow trails by inertia. Qu Zhongli was terrified, but Ye Kai in the camera was doing it with ease, as if he was taking a walk in his backyard. Approaching the finish line, Ye Kai slowed down, stood up straight, and raised his arms.
Qu Zhongli clapped his hands for him with gloves on and gave him a thumbs up.
The two of them took the cable car back to the starting point. Qu Zhongli was surprised: "You know a lot."
"Mute grab, straight air, tweak." Ye Kai answered in English, "I'm still practicing the rest."
Qu Zhongfu was angry, and the wave in front was slapped on the beach. Lan Man didn't ski, but sat in the cafe on the top of the mountain to drink afternoon tea, looking at the sunny powder snow through the large glass window. When the grandparents came over, she had already consumed three times more calories than planned, and she looked regretful. Qu Zhongli couldn't wait to upload the video, and watched it back on the small screen of GoPro, showing off to Lan Man: "You see, a good teacher produces good students."
Lan Man almost had a heart attack. He sat down on a chair dizzy and cried out, "Please spare me!"
Ye Kai didn't listen to the old couple's flirting. He drank a sip of hot chocolate, and took a very straight selfie while holding a snowboard that was nearly as tall as a person.
The clear sky at 8 o'clock in the morning indicated that Ning City would have a sunny day today. Chen Youhan wore a black silk shirt and a high-end suit on the outside, and walked into the meeting room with a Starbucks he bought on the way. On the projection screen was the preliminary plan for the new commercial district of GC Group. It was another long meeting. After the plan, he had to report it to the group's directors, so he had to concentrate on it with all his strength.
He felt his phone vibrate, but he didn't take it seriously. He lowered his head and took a gulp of black coffee. When the meeting was over at nearly 11 o'clock, he realized it was Ye Kai's WeChat. He clicked it and saw a selfie.
Going skiing again. Chen Youhan took a closer look. In the photo, Ye Kai was basking in the sun with the snow-capped mountains behind him. The white cable car was suspended in the air. He was holding the skateboard and smiling like he had been here. However, his youthful and brilliant spirit overflowed the screen and filled Chen Youhan's heart.
Chen Youhan replied casually, and Ye Kai seemed to be holding his phone and waiting, and replied immediately: "I recorded a video, do you want to see it?" Without waiting for a reply, he sent a short video of less than one minute. The spacious tea room was very quiet, and the tiny dust in the light beam floated gently. Chen Youhan pressed the coffee machine button and clicked play while waiting.
Chief Assistant Gu Xiu came over to gossip: "Amazing, he doesn't look very old, does he?"
When the progress reached the third stunt, Ye Kai fell down, and Chen Youhan's heart trembled, fearing that he would get hurt. Gu Xiu said, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, so cruel."
Chen Youhan frowned: "Are you annoying?"
Gu Xiu shrugged, and continued to go deeper without any fear: "Your new boyfriend?"
Chen Youhan opened his mouth to curse, but Gu Xiu didn't give him the chance. He picked up his coffee, winked, and walked away.
"I'm handsome, right?" Ye Kai typed a line of words.
"Yes, the moment he fell was particularly handsome." Chen Youhan put the microphone to his lips and spoke lazily and shabbily.
"It's normal to fall once or twice on the road to growth. Only by falling can you learn from it." Ye Kai said stubbornly, acting like a life mentor. Chen Youhan couldn't help laughing, remembering that he still owed Ye Kai a snowboard, so he threw it to Gu Xiu to arrange it. Gu Xiu asked him for a tip: "Your boyfriend doesn't serve himself and let me choose? Is there anyone as careless as you?"
Chen Youhan replied: "He likes whatever I give him."
"Damn, I'm full of dog food."
Ye Kai sent a slightly longer voice message this time. His clear voice pierced through the receiver like running water hitting stone: "Brother Youhan, I wanted to go with you this time. I'll accompany you next year during the snow season."
Who's going to accompany whom? Chen Youhan was amused, and felt like he was tickled, but he was reluctant to expose her, so he reluctantly replied "OK".
Gu Xiu couldn't bear to watch, and coughed like a patient with severe pharyngitis: "Hey, stop laughing, I, a single dog, am offended."
Chen Youhan put away his phone and gave Gu Xiu a push on the head: "Choose carefully!"
The countdown to their separation was measured in hours. Lan Man snuggled in Qu Zhongli's arms and wiped away her tears: "Baby, come back during the summer vacation, ah."
Ye Kai nodded: "Let mom and sister come together during the summer vacation."
Lan Man's expression changed in an instant: "Please let me live two more years!"
When they entered the security checkpoint, Ye Kai waved to them one last time and then disappeared into the passage. Qu Zhongli patted Lan Man on the shoulder and said, "If you are so reluctant to leave, go back to your country and live for a while." Lan Man was slightly moved, but when she thought of Qu Jia's violent temper, she felt that they would not be able to stay for two days or they would have to go to court to sever their mother-daughter relationship.
Everyone started to work. Ye Kai did not inform Chen Youhan or Ye Jin, but only asked Uncle Lu to pick him up. After a tiring sixteen-hour flight, the plane landed in Ning City, and he felt the familiar humidity and heat on his skin. He got on the car, covered his head and began to sleep. When he got home, he put down his luggage, took a shower, and continued to sleep. He slept through the jet lag in one go, and the first day of school came in the blink of an eye.
Tianyi Senior High School has a separate teaching building and dormitory area, so it was quite strange when Ye Kai ran into Wu Sijiu on the road. But he immediately realized that Wu Sijiu must have come to see him specifically. Ye Kai had just finished physical education class and was sweating profusely. He could squeeze water out of his black wrist guard. He raised the back of his hand to wipe the sweat from the corner of his lips, holding a tennis racket and walked towards him calmly: "What's the matter?"
"I want to see Chen Youhan."
The hand holding the grid line paused, and Ye Kaifang paused, not knowing what was going on: "Go and see him."
"We haven't been in touch for a long time." Wu Sijiu spoke with difficulty. He felt ashamed to say this to Ye Kai. But he had to continue to ask, and he felt very humble: "He doesn't answer my calls or reply to my WeChat messages."
Ye Kai calculated the time and understood. Best before date, a term that is appropriate for food but hypocritical for people, is the shelf life of Chen Youhan's love. Two months. If it exceeds sixty days, this dessert will go bad.
"Student Wu Sijiu," Ye Kai paused, "You don't really think you can be with Chen Youhan forever, do you?"
He spoke in a serious manner, without any sarcasm. This is the upbringing of rich people, even pity will not appear at an inappropriate time. Wu Sijiu curled his lips expressionlessly: "No." He denied calmly, "I am not so whimsical. Please help me convey to Chen Youhan, I have something to say to him."
Classmates kept passing by, looking at them with hidden eyes.
"It's Ye Kai, he looks so good in his tennis uniform."
"Have you ever seen him play? My god, the whole stadium was screaming like crazy!"
"Is that Wu Sijiu next to him? He knows Ye Kai?"
The voice lowered: "He seems to be bent..."
Ye Kai looked at the time and agreed: "Okay, I'll try."
Left by mistake.
After walking two steps away, Wu Sijiu called him, "Ye Kai."
He said, "Don't you think we look alike?"
