Chapter 24 Spend Time Together 24
The heater in the exam room made a slight humming sound, and by the time Tang Ximian put a period at the end of the last essay question, his fingertips were already red from the cold.
I handed in the answer sheet in advance and walked out while rubbing my hands.
Tang Ximian had just zipped up his down jacket to his chin when his cell phone vibrated in his pocket.
The words "Big Brother" on the screen made his hands tremble, and the thermos cup hit the wall with a sound.
"Have you finished the exam?" Tang Li's voice was wrapped in the morning mist across the Atlantic Ocean.
"I'll have Secretary Chen pick you up tomorrow. I've already bought you some New Year's goods. Let's see if there's anything else you'd like when you get here..."
"Brother! Wait, I have plans."
Tang Ximian's suddenly high voice startled the sparrows foraging outside the window. He hurriedly lowered his voice, "I, I might have to go abroad to play with my friends..."
The string of the cell phone pendant left red marks between my fingers.
The sound of a pen tapping on the solid wooden table came from the receiver, each tap precisely hitting the interval between his heartbeats.
"Which friend?" Tang Li's question was wrapped in the aroma of coffee. "A new friend? Or is it that Si guy again? If you go abroad to play, you can come to my place. I'll take you out to play."
"It's Si Yankai," he heard himself say. "I told him I wanted to experience the feel of racing, and Si Yankai agreed."
There was a long silence in the receiver. Just when he thought the signal was cut off, Tang Li suddenly said, "Racing, is Si Yankai crazy? He dared to take you on such a dangerous trip. He agrees but I don't."
The pen made another sound, this time the snap of the cap snapping shut. "Mianmian, why don't you come to your brother's place? I'll take you to Disneyland, okay?"
"Brother... I'm not a kid anymore. I just want to go and take a look. I won't go to the track. I'll just take a look and drive around to feel the atmosphere. I won't go to the track. I don't believe you've never been to a car race."
Tang Li was a rebel in his early days. He had tried everything except those that violated the law and morality. He was fun and exciting. He could not refute her. He rubbed his brows and could only agree reluctantly.
"What about my parents..."
Tang Ximian interrupted directly when he heard the words "Mom and Dad".
"Okay, I won't say any more. How have you been lately?"
"Very good, brother, how about you..."
After finishing the conversation and hanging up the phone, Tang Ximian rubbed his hair irritably, picked up his pencil case and ran back to the dormitory. As soon as he got back, he kicked off his shoes and threw himself into the quilt.
When Si Yankai came back, he saw the light shining obliquely through the gauze curtains, weaving diamond-shaped spots of light on the blue and white checkered bed sheets.
Tang Ximian curled up into a small ball and fell asleep on his bedding. The collar of her T-shirt was tilted, revealing half of a thin silver chain - hanging there was the platinum ring that he had given her a day after she confessed her love, which he had designed and made himself.
She gently took the quilt next to him and covered him with it, brushing away the short hair in front of his forehead, but stopped when she saw redness in the corners of his eyes.
"What happened to the glasses? Are you wronged?"
Si Yankai was confused but couldn't figure it out.
Looking at the sky outside the window, Si Yankai simply took off his coat, gently pulled open the quilt, snuggled into the bed, and slept with his arms around Tang Xi.
I kissed him on the forehead soothingly and slowly fell asleep in the warm atmosphere.
Tang Li, who was far away in the Atlantic Ocean, became upset after Tang Ximian hung up the phone. He went to the gym downstairs and punched the sandbag for a long time before he calmed down.
He slapped away the hand that was reaching out with a towel, and the person who withdrew his hand smiled indifferently.
As Tang Li walked, he asked the person who followed him, "Did you find any results on the matter I asked you to investigate for me?"
"We're still investigating. After all, you have to give this small organization of mine some time, right?
"That man had long, smooth golden hair that fell freely, and a face as white as snow, revealing an almost transparent texture. It was indeed easy to be confused by just looking at his face, but when you saw his nearly 2.2-meter height and the muscular body that could be vaguely seen through his clothes, perhaps no one would think he was weak.
"Small organization? I'll give you another week. Don't come here if you haven't found out yet."
Tang Li had a blank expression on his face, without any trace of the tenderness he had when he was talking to Tang Ximian on the phone.
"No! How about you give me a kiss and I'll go check it out for you myself?"
The beauty twirled her golden hair and spoke thoughtfully.
"Go downstairs and ask the doctor to take you up before he leaves."
"You're so ruthless, Ali, but I like your ruthlessness. Ich warte darauf, dass du dich in meine Arme warfst." (Translation: I'm waiting for you to throw yourself into my arms)
"unmglich." (Impossible)
