Chapter 36

nine years ago.

It was still a golden autumn.In autumn along the coast, the heat has not been blown away by the autumn wind, Zhou Si and Cheng Yi lay down in their small tent on the roof to digest food, and played mobile games by the way.

The roof was the roof of their rental house. At that time, Zhou Si rented the top floor, so the roof became another small world for them.The tent was bought by Cheng Yi with his postgraduate subsidy.Because the two of them had a barbecue on the roof before, and there was no place to lie down after eating and drinking, Cheng Yi felt uncomfortable, so he bought one online overnight, and set it up when Cheng came back from school on weekends.

At that time, both of them were boys in their early twenties, full of energy, and Zhou Si's rental house was not well soundproofed, so Cheng Yi loved to do that thing with Zhou Si in the tent.Cheng Yi always felt that on the roof, if there was any whimpering, it would be covered by the wind on the roof, and no one else could hear it.

Therefore, the utilization rate of this tent is higher than that of the bed, so Zhou Si simply brought up some quilts and pillows, and also pulled moisture-proof mats and rain cloths from friends.Cheng Yi usually lives on campus, so the rain cloth is used to cover the tent, and when he comes back on weekends to go up to the roof, he just uncovers one side.

"Brother Si." Cheng Yi lay on his back in the tent, with his head resting on Zhou Si's stomach.

Zhou Si's gaze shifted from the phone to Cheng Yi's face: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yi lifted his legs against the top of the tent and shook them, kicking the tent so that it moved, he pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to study for a Ph. D."

Zhou Si grabbed the phone and stared blankly for a while, as if he was digesting Cheng Yi's words.

It took him a long time before he said, "Oh, just come out and look for a job?"

Zhou Si remembered that what Cheng Yi told him last week was "Maybe I won't read any further." Somehow, a week later, the word "possible" was deleted, and it became a decision directly.

"Yeah." Cheng Yi's leg suddenly dropped down, he turned over and sat down next to Zhou Si, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, "I have a senior who said that you can go to his place after graduation, and the price is easy to negotiate." Cheng Yitian really He pulled out the chat history on his phone, and flirted with Zhou Si beside him, "I think it shouldn't be a problem for me to get 7k a month if I go to him, what do you think?"

"Then go to him to do academic experiments?"

"How is that possible? How could they make you an academic instead of a philanthropist when they invested money?" Cheng Yi retorted unintentionally.

Zhou Si glanced at Cheng Yi's phone screen, but put down his phone instead of looking carefully.

"Cheng Yiyi."

"what?"

"Can you tell me why not read on?"

The excitement on Cheng Yi's face suddenly dissipated, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and there was nowhere to put the phone he raised.

"I……"

"I remember that your New Year's resolution in the year of graduate school was to successfully graduate and study for a Ph. D. The last time I went back, the plan I told my uncle was also a Ph. D.? Didn't you say that academics are your favorite?" Zhou Si asked. .

Cheng Yi looked away and stared at his mobile phone screen: "But..."

Zhou Si was waiting for Cheng Yi's next words, but Cheng Yi didn't say anything for a long time.

"But what?" Zhou Si took Cheng Yi's hand and carefully inspected the wound that Cheng Yi mentioned in the video a few days ago. Go get the herbal ointment."

Cheng Yi watched Zhou Si bouncing downstairs to get the medicine, and then looked at the balance of the account that he and Zhou Si jointly deposited, most of the five-digit numbers there were left by Zhou Si.Cheng Yi didn't have any subsidy, it was enough to just eat something good.

But in such a big city, Cheng Yi didn't ask his family for money. Clothing, housing, and drinking were all Zhou Si's salary for the past two years of work.Zhou Si was willing to say nothing, but Cheng Yi couldn't do so with peace of mind.

Especially a few days ago when he came out after working overtime in the laboratory, after 2 o'clock, the housekeeper aunt opened the door for him, and while he was waiting at the door, he couldn't help calling Zhou Si, Zhou Si said he was still there Work overtime to write programs.In the video, Zhou Si had a pair of eyes full of red bloodshot eyes. At first glance, he looked like someone who had stayed up for several nights before the final exam.Cheng Yi didn't dare to ask how many nights he had stayed up, and only pretended to know that Zhou Si was still working overtime that morning.

Zhou Si also comforted him and said: "It will be finished soon, it's okay. I can finish work and go home in a while today. I stayed overnight a few days ago. It's not a big deal."

He worked overtime without sleeping, and he didn't use much of the money he earned, it was all spent by Cheng Yi.This made Cheng Yi couldn't help but think of those red bloodshot eyes every time he spent money. The exhaustion in his eyes had completely covered up the affection he felt every time he looked at Cheng Yi.

In fact, Cheng Yi didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that Zhou Si had changed and became much more docile than before. Many, as if the edges and corners have been smoothed by life.

How could Cheng Yi be willing to do Zhou Si like this, Zhou Si in his mind was full of spirit.Instead of being like this now, in order to achieve his high spirits, he made himself almost invisible.

So when his tutor chatted with him and asked him if he wanted to send him for a doctoral degree, he didn't immediately nod, but said that he would think about it.

Zhou Si quickly took the herbal ointment, and gently applied it around the blister in Cheng Yi's hand. Cheng Yi's skin was tender and fleshy, and his whole body was white and clean. Only his hands were always scarred, and these few years of experimentation.

"Cheng Yiyi, but what?" Zhou Si asked while kneeling in front of Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi bit his lip: "It's okay."

Zhou Si put the green grass ointment cover back on, put his hands on the ground and moved in front of Cheng Yi, his eyes met, his throat couldn't help moving when he met Cheng Yi's eyes that kept wandering like rabbits.

He asked in a low voice, "You don't have anything to explain?"

Cheng Yi put his hand on Zhou Si's approaching chest, and he pushed him lightly: "No more." He gave him another look, got up and lifted the curtain of the tent, "Go downstairs, it's too windy up here Yes, it's a bit cold."

Zhou Si grabbed Cheng Yi who was about to go out sideways, and when Cheng Yi looked at him, he pulled the man into his arms, pulled him closer to his eyes, and kissed him.

"You don't want to tell me?" Zhou Si asked.

Cheng Yi took his wrist out of Zhou Si's hand, "There's nothing to say. It's my problem. I'm tired, go to sleep, Brother Si."

Zhou Si stood behind Cheng Yi: "Cheng Yiyi, what the hell do you mean!"

This scolding made Cheng Yi return to Zhou Si's previous appearance, he turned around and said, "What's the point of me, I just don't want to read it, why not?"

"No." Zhou Si wouldn't believe Cheng Yi's words, he was about to catch him and opened his mouth to bite him.

It is impossible for Cheng Yi not to want to study, Zhou Si knows; but Cheng Yi has a stubborn temper, he also knows it.Before Zhou Si failed in the college entrance examination, Cheng Yi applied for a repeat study to accompany him for a year. Cheng's parents, Cheng mother, and the teacher told Cheng Yi, but he still insisted and repeated the study with Zhou Si for a year.

Thinking of this, Zhou Si's anger plummeted again, he suppressed his breath, and said in a good voice: "Cheng Yi, don't be stubborn, you and I have a good talk."

"Needless to say, I still have the right to make my own decisions about my affairs." Cheng Yi refused to talk about it with Zhou Si. Every time the two of them were together, Zhou Si asked him to think about it again when he talked about it. After all, going out to work is not necessarily a good thing. Wouldn’t it be better to continue studying?Just like that, Zhou Si and Cheng Yi had big and small quarrels. Almost every weekend when Cheng Yi came home, the two would quarrel over this matter. After two sentences, Cheng Yi remained silent and did not quarrel with Zhou Si. Not letting go.

Until one day it rained in autumn in the city, and it was raining lightly. That was the time when Zhou Si and Cheng Yi quarreled the most.

That day, Cheng Yi went to dinner with some fellow Ph.D. students. Zhou Si asked him when he was going home after eating and got into the car. He was afraid that he would not have an umbrella, so he waited at the gate of the community. When he got off his senior brother's car, the senior brother who was the driver held up an umbrella for Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi led the people across the road, and suddenly froze in his footsteps.

He saw people under the street lights at the gate of the community.

Zhou Si's house is rented in an old-fashioned dilapidated community. There are not many street lights in the community. Every night, the road is illuminated by the warm yellow lights in the corridors of the units and the flashlights of pedestrians.There is only one street light outside the gate of the community, which illuminates the driveway of the gate of the community.

Probably because of the rain, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the extraordinarily bright light of the street lamp fell right on top of Zhou Si's head.The umbrella that Zhou Si opened up was a transparent umbrella that Cheng Yi bought at the 711 convenience store in front of the school. Cheng Yi recognized the person holding the umbrella at a glance, it was Zhou Si.

Zhou Si was waiting for him.

He turned around and was going to tell that senior brother that there was no need to send it away. The senior brother saw that Cheng Yi had stopped, and thought that Cheng Yi was not feeling well, so he politely reached out to help Cheng Yi, but Cheng Yi hadn't said a word of thanks. , a gust of wind came suddenly, blowing past his ears, with a bang, Cheng Yi saw his brother fell to the ground, and the umbrella fell to the ground, splashing water all over the ground, and Cheng Yi was wet. s eyes.

It's Zhou Si.

Zhou Si still clenched his fist in his hand, and was about to hit his senior brother in the face, but Cheng Yi grabbed the person who clenched his fist.

"Zhou Si, what are you doing?!" He yelled at Zhou Si.

"What am I doing? I'm fucking stupid. I was afraid that you didn't bring an umbrella, and that your body would catch a cold if it got wet in the rain. I didn't even work overtime, so I just stood there stupidly downstairs, waiting for you with the cold wind blowing." Zhou Withdrew his fist, threw Cheng Yi's hand away, and retorted, "It's not like you, who had a good meal and was sent back in a Mercedes-Benz."

"Then who are you hitting?! The problem between the two of us, can't we talk about it when we go home?"

"Go home, okay, let's go home and talk about it!" Zhou Si left in anger, Cheng helped him up, asked his senior brother if he should take him to the hospital, checked him again, and looked at him. Except for a bit of blood on the corner of the lip from being smashed by the teeth, there is no wound. It must be that Zhou Si deliberately held back when he hit him.

The senior brother had a good temper and said it was fine, Cheng Yi apologized several times in a row, then said that he would be invited to dinner next time, and watched him drive away before returning to the community.

"I don't know what kind of madness it is."

Cheng complained softly, walked towards the entrance of the community, and passed an umbrella, which was the transparent umbrella that Zhou Si was holding up before, he turned around and picked it up, and poured out the rainwater that had been caught for a long time, Just went straight upstairs and went home.

When he opened the door, Zhou Si didn't even turn on the lights, as if he wasn't at home.Cheng Yi turned on the porch light, and when he saw Zhou Si, he sat in the living room, lit a cigarette and waited for him.He didn't dare to speak, but the smell of smoke was too strong, so he couldn't help coughing twice before walking over in step.

Zhou Si probably saw him coming back, so he choked out the cigarette, and put it in the ashtray of the coffee table before it was finished.

Cheng Yi took a glance and sat down: "Brother Si? Jealous? Or angry?"
