People in love are the most boring. They can be excited about the smallest things. With a pile of homework left, Ye Kai pestered Chen Youhan to watch movies in the audio-visual room. Watching "Notting Hill", a down-and-out middle-aged bookstore owner met a popular Hollywood actress, and a fairy-tale love story was born. Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts were both dreamy and beautiful. Even though I don't know how many times I have rewatched it, when I saw the male protagonist pretending to be a reporter to interview, Ye Kai still laughed so hard that his shoulders shook, knocked over a bucket of popcorn, and was pressed into Chen Youhan's arms and kissed like a punishment.
The lighting in the audio-visual room was ambiguous and dim, with dark red soundproof cushions and a sofa that was so large and soft that one could almost sink into it. Ye Kai sat on his lap and was gradually suffocated by the kisses. He was completely defeated by the teasing of his lips and tongue.
After watching the movie, Chen Youhan personally sent people back to Ye's house. He happened to be driving in the same car as Ye Tong, so he was caught and stayed for dinner.
Qu Jia asked unhappily, "Where have you been? You just became an adult and you're staying out all night? And your phone is turned off!"
Ye Kaixin said timidly: "My phone is out of battery..."
Chen Youhan smiled leisurely and took the blame for him: "I took him out for a drink, and he got drunk and slept at my place for the whole night."
Qu Jia was about to explode when he heard this, but Ye Zheng immediately came out to smooth things over: "Xiao Kai has grown up, and he needs to drink more. Youhan, he must have caused you a lot of trouble last night."
Chen Youhan glanced at Ye Kai, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said frivolously, "It's no trouble."
Ye Kai couldn't listen any more, and said "I'll go pack my schoolbag" and hurried to the indoor elevator. When the door was closing, he was stopped by Chen Youhan, who squeezed in and pressed "3" for him. The elevator was made of pure glass, and Chen Youhan blocked his view. With his back to Ye Zheng and Qu Jia downstairs, he raised a finger and brushed it across his cheek. Ye Kai's eyes widened, his back tensed with nervousness, and he lowered his voice and said, "Are you crazy?!"
Going up to the third floor, there was no one there. The spring sunlight at three or four o'clock just rolled through the curtains and shone on the clean brown solid wood floor. The glass brick sliding door of the living room was pulled up, and the slide rail made a cautious sound. Ye Kai was pressed against the corner of the wall. The blurred water-patterned glass reflected the silhouettes of two people, one with his back against the wall, the other with his hand on his ear, one hand in his pocket, and leaning forward slightly.
"Afraid?"
Ye Kai pulled his tie, kissed him briefly, and said sensibly, "I'm not afraid, but I don't want to die either."
It made sense. Chen Youhan couldn't help laughing and tapped his forehead affectionately: "Little liar."
As soon as the two separated, Aunt Jia's voice appeared: "Xiao Kai? I made tea for you and Youhan."
Chen Youhan opened the door with a normal expression and said with a smile, "Aunt Jia, you look really good. I haven't seen you for so long that I thought you were ten years younger."
"Oh, you!" The English afternoon tea was placed on the black walnut table. Aunt Jia's powdered cheeks turned red. "You are so sweet. No wonder little girls go crazy when they see you!"
Chen Youhan followed her out of the living room, turned back and gave Ye Kai a half-smile: "More than that."
Ye Kai made lip gestures to him, and three words were clearly stated: "Shameless."
I went downstairs to sit and chat with Ye Tong. Last summer, there was a big earthquake in Ning City, and the leadership team was completely replaced. Half a year later, the old man was still interested in talking about this. Ye Tong asked tentatively: "I heard that your Chen family had a dispute with him in the Li District. How is it? I think it has been relatively peaceful recently?"
Chen Youhan did not comment: "The position is there. It happened many years ago. There is no need to worry about it. It's a loss of face, don't you think?"
Ye Tong nodded: "For the region, the Loucun project is the core of the core. It is a new landmark, a new port, an international benchmark, and the entrance and exit of the three-city ring highway. You were able to acquire that piece of land, which really showed your vision and courage."
Chen Youhan smiled and peeled a piece of orange: "You are too kind. Whatever I have is the decision of the board of directors."
Ye Tong admired him so much that he didn't even think of him as a grandchild of the same age as Ye Jin. He patted Chen Youhan on the shoulder and said, "If you have any questions, feel free to come to me."
A banker and a real estate developer said they had a problem and came to him. Chen Youhan smiled meaningfully. It seemed that the half-year delay in the approval of the aquarium had caused some ripples in the circle.
The Ye family is a very traditional wealthy family. When they have guests, they dine in a special small banquet hall. The meals are served separately, and the soups are very exquisite. Chen Youhan couldn't remember the last time he sat down to eat a home-cooked meal. After taking a sip of the soup, he subconsciously thought that only such exquisite cooking could raise a person like Ye Kai. After sighing, he felt that he was crazy again.
During the dinner, Ye Kai talked about his studies, and Ye Tong just happened to bring it up: "You can start preparing for the documents, right? Take advantage of the summer vacation to do some practice."
Ye Kai was destined to take the college entrance examination, and he had to do well in it, but at the same time, he also had to apply to foreign schools, and the documents, activities, competitions, TOEFL, and SAT were all progressing as planned. Ye Kai responded, not daring to look at Chen Youhan, and whispered, "Can we not go abroad?"
"No." Qu Jia grew up with a completely Western education background. It's not that she is superstitious about foreign things, but in her eyes, the Western academic background and teaching depth are more suitable for the heavy responsibilities that Ye Kai will bear in the future.
Ye Kai was stubborn for a moment: "If I get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, it would be a loss if I don't go to study there."
Qu Jia's eyebrows almost stood up, and Ye Zheng came out to smooth things over: "So baby is confident that he can get into Tsinghua University, that's great, if you pass, daddy won't want you to go abroad."
Ye Tong responded without comment and asked the only outsider present: "Youhan, what do you think?"
Chen Youhan looked at Ye Kai, and Ye Kai also looked up at him, his eyes were confused. Chen Youhan smiled politely and said, "It's good to go abroad. If there is a chance, I will go."
"Yeah." Ye Tong nodded. "During the summer internship, I originally planned to let Xiao Kai stay with me for a while, but the child doesn't seem to be very interested in his own things." After he finished speaking, everyone laughed, and Ye Tong asked, "Is it convenient for you?"
Chen Youhan neither agreed nor refused, and said tactfully: "It's only March now, it's still early for summer vacation. In June, if Xiaokai is willing..."
Ye Kai clutched his handkerchief and looked at him expressionlessly. He exchanged glances with Chen Youhan, then turned his gaze away and said calmly, "I'm done eating."
"So fast?" Qu Jia glanced at his clean dishes, "Do you have a poor appetite?"
Ye Kai nodded randomly: "Maybe I was too tired yesterday. Mom, I'm going back to school for evening self-study." After that, he leaned over and kissed Qu Jia, and said goodbye to Ye Zheng and Ye Tong. Ye Jin was not there, and he finally looked at Chen Youhan and said distantly and politely: "Brother Youhan, eat slowly, I'm leaving first."
Uncle Lu was waiting at the door in a Cayenne. Ye Kai left the banquet hall and Aunt Jia handed him his schoolbag. They chatted for a few words and the sound of the engine gradually faded away.
Chen Youhan has no appetite.
What else was talked about during the meal? It was a long and perfunctory one for nearly an hour, and Chen Youhan had no recollection of it. When he left the house, it was already dark, and the traffic from Siyuan Road to Tianyi Middle School was jammed. He drove an Aston Martin, and everyone was frightened by his unreasonable and brutality, and they were afraid to overtake him, cut him off, or confront him, so they had to roll down the windows and curse at him.
When he arrived at Tianyi, the evening self-study class had already started in the second period. He slammed the car door and strode towards the school gate booth while sending WeChat messages.
A dozen steps away from the sentry box, inside the bus station, a lonely person was sitting on a bench.
Chen Youhan's hurried steps stopped abruptly, and his heart calmed down. He walked over and said in a low and gentle voice: "Why are you here?"
Ye Kai looked up. His phone was still on, and it was stuck on the conversation between him and Chen Youhan. Chen Youhan's last words were "Let me explain."
Chen Youhan saw it, squatted down in front of him, took his hand, and asked coaxingly: "You saw the message but didn't reply? Why are you so angry?"
Ye Kai asked coldly: "Why are you here?"
"I came here thinking you might be waiting for me."
Ye Kai's eyes felt sore.
"Who's waiting for you? I'm not. I'm waiting for the bus." He pulled his hand back, stood up, and put his hands in the pockets of his school uniform jacket.
The bus arrived, but no one knew which road it was on, or where it was going. Ye got on the bus. He usually took public transportation and had a citizen card. After swiping the card, he walked to the back seat with a blank expression. There were very few people, almost no passengers. Chen Youhan was blocking the entrance. He looked a little embarrassed when the driver urged him lazily.
“You can use credit cards, coins, QR codes, WeChat or Alipay. Don’t block the door. Go inside!”
There was no one behind him. Chen Youhan leaned against the railing and opened Alipay according to the sticker prompts. City services, apply for Ningshi transportation card, generate QR code - I couldn't help but feel anxious. What a crap thing! The QR code was attached to the scanner. The driver squinted and said, "Insert it and lay it flat!"
There was a "puff" sound from the back row.
There was a light "beep" sound, and Chen Youhan finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Ye Kai. He chose a double seat, sitting inside by the window, and the outside seat was empty. Chen Youhan sat down and found his hand: "I'm ashamed, I've never taken a bus since I was born."
You have the nerve to say that.
Ye Kai turned his head to look out the window and asked indifferently: "Where's the subway?"
“I’ve sat on this one.”
Ye Kai was very surprised, thinking that it must be some place that was far away and congested, so he had to give up his private car or special car. Unexpectedly, Chen Youhan said slowly: "Ning City's first subway line opened, Chen Fei was invited to experience it, and he carried me to sit on it."
This time he really couldn't help it. Although he tried his best to purse his lips, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Chen Youhan pulled him into his arms: "Why don't you want to study abroad?"
This question is just to annoy people. Ye Kai said coldly: "I don't know, maybe he is not used to Western food."
"Xiao Kai, there are many important things in life that you cannot give up." Chen Youhan held his thin shoulders: "Study, further your studies, realize your ideals, see the world, and become a better person. You will encounter many temptations along the way. Many colorful and beautiful things may not be suitable for you. Don't stop easily."
Ye Kai rested his head on his shoulder. The lights in the car were dull and white. The neon lights on the street outside the window kept passing over his young face. He said calmly, "Including you?"
Chen Youhan rubbed his hair: "I didn't say that."
Ye Kai curled his lips and listened to Chen Youhan whispering in his ear: "What's wrong with studying abroad? Can't afford the plane ticket to see you, or don't have time? No matter how many hours the time difference between China and the United States is, I will wait for you day and night, okay?"
The bustling lights of the city shuttled through the carriage. The train arrived at the station, some people got on, some got off, but it was still empty. The door made a sound of airlock and slowly closed. Ye Kai rubbed his neck, found the most comfortable position, raised his hand and held it: "Well, it makes sense, then you will fly to the United States to accompany me all day, and GC will be messed up by you."
Chen Youhan was speechless: "...I'm not that bad."
"I'm just kidding," Ye Kai said in an innocent and cheerful tone, deliberately a little coquettishly, "Brother Youhan is the best."
Chen Youhan responded nonchalantly. Ye Kai pursed his lips, thinking of something, biting his ear and panting softly: "When will you show me your strength?"
Chen Youhan turned his head to look at him in disbelief and pushed his head fiercely: "Where did you learn this nonsense!"
Ye Kai laughed muffledly and said in his ear with his hand: "But today you... " He pronounced the word very lightly, and because it was a nasal sound, when he lowered his voice to say it, it was hoarse, with a light ending.
Chen Youhan pulled at the knot of his tie, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly as he spoke: "Don't provoke me, I'm not a gentleman."
Perhaps it was still strange for a pretty boy in school uniform to hug a handsome elite in a suit and tie. More and more people got on the bus, and they all looked at them secretly. Ye Kai said in a neither light nor heavy voice: "Brother, we have arrived at the next stop."
The announcement sounded, and the two of them got out of the car from the back door one after the other. They couldn't pretend, and they didn't even want to let go of each other's hands, their fingers hooked, openly.
The night wind blew in my face. It was a stop along the Xijiang River. There was a riverside park with a wide lawn. The blooming sunflowers had already drooped their heads, and the royal poinciana trees were in full bloom. Chen Youhan opened the app to call a special car, and Ye Kai covered his mouth and said he wanted to take a boat trip.
What kind of interest is this? Every Xijiang cruise ship is full of tourists from other places. If you ask locals, eleven out of ten have never taken a cruise before and are not interested in it. Besides, weekend night cruises have the most people and the longest queues. Just waiting in line can drive him crazy. Chen Youhan bent down to help him zip up his school uniform jacket: "Little boy, have you finished your homework? Are you not going to evening self-study?"
Oh, there are problems with all six subjects’ homework.
Ye Kai smoothed his hair. His soft black hair had no styling, revealing his smooth forehead and beautiful hairline. He said coolly, "No, I just want to be a bad student again."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned: "I think you are with me just because you are rebellious."
"What? If I want excitement, wouldn't I find a junior or senior schoolmate? Holding hands and kissing under the teacher's nose every day would give me a greater sense of accomplishment than seeing you once a week."
Chen Youhan sighed, took out the cigarette from his mouth, and tapped his forehead: "Would you like to try it?"
"You wouldn't know even if you tried." Ye Kai covered his forehead with his hands, speaking a little provocatively.
Chen Youhan put one hand on his waist, showing his usual helpless and inability to vent anger. After a while, he laughed out of anger, exhaled a puff of cigarette, threw it at his feet and extinguished it fiercely, then walked towards Ye Kai: "Friend," he put his arm around his waist, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "If you really dare to do this, I will really punish you next time."
Ye Kai was confused by his domineering and aggressive aura, and said without thinking: "I, I'm still young!"
Chen Youhan laughed out loud: "Now you know you're too young? Then why don't you let me go back to class!"
When he really got to school, he was still restless. Yang Zhuoning poked him with a pen and said, "My deskmate, I see you are not interested in studying either. Why don't we have a chat?"
Ye Kai looked at his own paper and said calmly, "No, I still have five sets of questions to finish."
Yang Zhuoning sighed: "Why bother? Look, you write a line of formula and spend five minutes in a daze. It's a sin."
Bystanders are always more knowledgeable than the parties involved. Ye Kai glanced at the manuscript, which was indeed a bit horrible, with evidence of his absent-minded and perfunctory writing. He put down his pen, and Yang Zhuoning was overjoyed and moved his chair closer to him: "I'll tell you a secret."
Ye Kai glanced at Yu Ranran, the biology class representative who was sitting in class. This girl had obviously failed the responsibility given to her by the biology teacher. She was happily doing her exercises and completely ignoring the class discipline which was already like a tea room.
"explain."
Yang Zhuoning smiled mysteriously, revealing shyness, pride, and a little vulgarity: "I am no longer single!"
Spoken in a long breathy voice.
Ye Kai applauded him under the table, very perfunctorily, but it should be enough to satisfy the friendship between classmates.
"Zhao Xiaoxin is so damn hard to pursue. Luckily I am resilient! By the way, I will use the negative example of the domineering CEO to tell her that men who are rich and handsome are generally unreliable. Only a guy like me, ah, a medium-level handsome guy with a simple aura all over my body, is worthy of trust!"
Ye Kai glanced at his face calmly, well, an averagely handsome guy, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.
"Today is our first date, and we--" He paused mysteriously, keeping the audience in suspense and making faces.
Ye Kai was at a loss.
"Kiss." He blurted out four letters.
It's so embarrassing that they even use foreign words. Are the words "kiss" and "kissing" hot or taboo words?
Ye Kai said coldly: "...Congratulations?"
In Yang Zhuoning's imagination, a wealthy and abstinent student like Ye Kai, who came from a superior family, had a strict family tradition, and was pure and innocent, should have blushed, become incoherent, and his eyes should have lit up when he heard such gossip, and then would have been envious and jealous and inquired for more details. How could he be so indifferent and even vaguely reveal a sense of sarcasm, "That's it?"
"Girls' lips are really soft." He continued.
Ye Kai didn't know what he was thinking of, and his eyes darkened.
“It smells good.”
Ye Kai leaned back on the table, picked up a pen, and the tips of his ears turned a little red.
"Hey, you know what... kissing... is really... comfortable." The sentence was squeezed out like a difficult birth, and Yang Zhuoning's voice was as small as a mosquito.
Ye Kai: "...Shut up."
"Don't you have someone you like? Have you caught up with him?" Yang Zhuoning had not forgotten that he lost a thousand dollars last time and got beaten up when he got home. As the person closest to Ye Kai, he actually misjudged him? It can be seen that the rich young master is not as stupid as he seems.
“I guess so…”
"What?" Yang Zhuoning covered his mouth with his eyebrows raised so high that they were almost wrinkled. "Are you no longer single?!"
"No." Ye Kai denied, not very confident.
Fortunately, Yang Zhuoning was easy to deceive, or he trusted him very much. He had an inexplicable firmness towards his character of being successful in school but unsuccessful in love. He nodded solemnly and comforted him: "Kai, keep up the good work! Tsk, what kind of fairy can't even you catch up with?"
Human joys and sorrows are not the same. After a second of silence for Ye Kai, the topic turned to his sweet first love. He sighed and said, "But Zhao Xiaoxin said that I'm not a good kisser. How do you think she knew that?"
Just now they were kissing long and short, but now they are immediately studying kissing techniques. It can be seen that human's face is also a mystery.
Yu Ranran coughed at the podium. The classroom was quiet for a second, and then whispers began again.
Ye Kai: "...Maybe...she was not comfortable...being kissed."
Damn it, why does he speak so hard?!
Yang Zhuoning blushed, and like a fool, he lay back on the desk and said to the extremely abstinent math textbook: "Then how can I improve?"
Ye Kai underlined the physics question and said calmly, "Just... practice more?"
The small sixth row of the third largest group fell into deathly silence.
Ye Kai came back to his senses and thought, damn, such a simple question is worth him breaking down the known items?
Yang Zhuoning's face grew exponentially, and he asked Ye Kai: "Then tell me, what does it feel like to be kissed comfortably?"
Ye Kai: “…”
"Let me talk about myself first. I feel short of breath, my heart is beating very fast, and my hands keep wanting to touch things..."
Ye Kai: “…”
"But you said being kissed felt good, what does that feel like? You can't just do it to yourself, right?"
He is quite gentlemanly at such a young age.
Ye Kai clenched the pen tightly, "Maybe... my legs are weak, I'm lacking oxygen, and my whole body feels numb... I guess."
Yang Zhuoning: "Oh... um??"
A short class meeting was held in the third period. The head teacher's name was Bi Sheng, and he sounded very ambitious. The students called him Pizza Hut behind his back. Pizza Hut hosted the meeting himself because this year was the 20th anniversary of Tianyi's founding, and the higher-ups had decided to hold a cultural evening party, and each class had to give a performance. The freshmen were young and the seniors were busy, so this highlight obviously had to be carried by the sophomores and various clubs. As soon as the news came out, there were complaints from the students. Pizza Hut slammed the table and said, "Shout? What are you shouting for? If you have the energy, shout on the stage! For the performance, give five alternatives before tomorrow's evening study. That... the cultural and arts committee member raised your hands. Yes, Zhao Xiaoxin, you organize it."
When Zhao Xiaoxin came on stage, the classroom became stagnant.
As a science experimental class, the third class of senior high school is a unique one. In addition to the average score and the top ten in age, they are indifferent to other things such as advanced classes, sports games, and cultural evenings. The whole class is written with a capital "I don't care" from top to bottom.
Seeing his girlfriend being wronged, Yang Zhuoning immediately betrayed their friendship and raised his hand, saying, "Don't worry! Ye Kai is in our class, he can get high scores with his eyes closed!"
Ye Kai held his forehead with his hand in misery.
This immediately became the focus of class meeting, and the theme suddenly changed from "coming up with five competition programs in the areas of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor" to "customizing a winning program for Ye Kaisheng that will kill with one blow."
"Tennis Stunts, the Live-Action Prince of Tennis!"
Puzzled: "......?"
"Play and sing by yourself, the little prince of piano!"
Subtly: "...No."
"Dance to the national standard!"
Shocked: "…Why do you think I have this skill?"
"Street dance, buddy, I'll clap for you!"
Coldly and proudly: "...Thank you!"
Pizza Hut came out to smooth things over: "You can't do this. You need to unite and mobilize all your strength to show the collective style of our third class. How can you let Ye Kai go on stage alone?"
Zhao Xiaoxin said: "Let's perform a drama!"
"There is no notebook." Someone carried it.
"There are so many classics to choose from, The Rhinoceros in Love, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet... Yes, I think The Merchant of Venice is good! You can pick two and perform them together."
In their after-school elective course, The Merchant of Venice contains an excerpt from the court scene.
Bi Sheng was so angry that he vomited blood. He wanted to be a Pizza Hut and show off his wealth to avenge his previous humiliation, but he didn't expect that the whole class had no wolf spirit at all. When they saw that performing a drama was easy and would require only a small number of participants, they immediately raised their hands and voted in agreement without waiting for him to say anything.
Bi Sheng settled for the next best thing: "Magic change, magic change our great teacher Sha, add a ballroom dance, all the students in the class will join in!"
A heart-wrenching wail rang out in the classroom.
Bi Sheng was well versed in negotiation logic. He let them howl for five seconds with a cold face, raised his hand to suppress them, and asked with a smile: "Half, half is ok?"
The enemy camp was successfully won over and divided, and except for a few people who murmured, no one objected.
Yang Zhuoning was afraid that it wasn't chaotic enough, so he started to make a scene again: "That's too peaceful, we need to find a bombshell!"
"Cross-dressing!" Zhao Xiaoxin's eyes lit up - they are really a couple, their brain waves match faster than the speed of light, and they are good at everything together.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Kai instantly had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the whole class's eyes were focused on him again like searchlights.
Ye Kai: “…”
