Extra: Yao Xiuyuan's Age (Twelve)
"The school has arranged dormitories for students like us who were selected from the county, but Tang Yu's father and I are willing to support me for three years of high school and even four years of college. He is also willing to provide me with food, clothing and accommodation, but he needs me to do him a favor. He wants me to help him with Tang Yu."
Ying Nian came here, lowered his head and took a sip of wine, paused for a while, and then continued, "Tang Yu is actually quite smart, but you can also see that just like he doesn't want to work hard now, he didn't want to go to school well at that time. He either skipped classes or slept, and his grades were terrible. Tang Yu's father hoped that I could be friends with him and help him improve his academic performance. He doesn't need to be very good, but at least he can't fail in every subject. I thought this was simple, so I agreed."
"From then on, I moved into Tang Yu's house. Although we didn't get along very well at the beginning, we got along very well later. By the time we were in the second year of high school, we were almost together. We were really happy at that time. Although our relationship couldn't be made public, we felt happy every time we saw each other. Tang Yu also studied very hard, hoping to be admitted to the same university as me. Even if it wasn't the same university, we could be in the same city. At that time, he really liked me and treated me very well. He didn't want me to get hurt. Even if I was a little unhappy, he would be very nervous, afraid that I would feel uncomfortable."
When Yingnian got here, he just felt sad and couldn't help but drink another glass of wine.
Yao Xiuyuan sighed silently in his heart and said nothing.
"Later, we went to college together. We were not in the same school, but we lived very close to each other. We rented a house together and started living together. It was at that time that his friends gradually found out about our true relationship." He turned to look at Yao Xiuyuan and asked him, "Do you like Ji Qingzhou? Do you like him?"
Yao Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Do you think we don't like him?"
Ying Nian shook his head. "I think you treat him very well." He said, "Qingzhou is much luckier than me, so I like him very much. When I look at him, I feel that there is still hope for the future, because someone has already got it. So you know that what you want can be obtained and is real. This is very good. At least it gives people something to look forward to."
Yao Xiuyuan listened to his words and felt that his life was too hard. He lost his parents when he was young and hoped for a good future. But when he grew up, he was abandoned by his uncle's family. He could only pin his hopes on studying and told himself that studying would lead to a good future. However, until now, he seems to have not waited for a truly good future.
However, even so, he still worked hard to live, and he was not jealous of Ji Qingzhou who was more fortunate than him, but became friends with him. He felt that Ying Nian had a very good mentality, but was also very bitter. He did not do anything, but was always gentle and polite, and even smiled from time to time. He thought he was just in a failed relationship, and thought he had let it go, as long as Tang Yu stopped pestering him.
But in fact, his heart was like an empty city. Of the three most important emotions in a person's life, he seemed to have lost family affection and love, and only friendship was struggling to support him. However, he was a person who did not like to trouble others, and the comfort that friendship gave him was actually pitifully little.
"I don't get along well with Tang Yu's friends." Ying Nian's words interrupted Yao Xiuyuan's thoughts. He lowered his head and said while drinking, "Chen Mao doesn't like me. You should have seen that. He is Tang Yu's cousin, so he has a lot of say in Tang Yu's circle. He doesn't like me, so other people will naturally not be nice to me in order to please him, except Guan Han. Guan Han is the only one among Tang Yu's friends that I get along well with, but it's useless. He doesn't have much say, so it's useless even if he speaks for me."
"This is not your problem," Yao Xiuyuan comforted him, "You are Tang Yu's lover, and his friends should respect you. Even if they don't like you, they shouldn't show it on the surface. If he finds out that his friends don't like you and are targeting you, he should deal with the problem. He didn't deal with it well, making you two unhappy. This is his incompetence, not your problem."
