Chapter 160 Childhood Friends (15)
While eating the custard buns, Chen Ye said, "You are so nice, brother. I love you so much. It would be even better if you made sweet and sour pork tenderloin for lunch."
Duan Xu peeled a white egg and placed it in Chen Ye's bowl. "If you get up at nine o'clock tomorrow, I'll make it."
Chen Ye agreed quickly, "Okay. I got up late today because I was chatting with Cui Mingzhe yesterday. He wanted to buy a computer and asked me what to buy."
He shared what happened last night with Duan Xu like a machine gun: "It's better to consult you than to consult me. I don't understand, but I think you may not want to pay attention to him, so I told him to ask Sun Xiaoxiao. Sun Xiaoxiao's family sells computers."
After eating a white egg, Duan Xu peeled another one for him, "Talk less at night and go to bed early."
"I promise to go to bed early tonight."
However, Chen Ye still didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Duan Xu seemed to have fallen asleep. Chen Ye secretly took out his mobile phone and played with his back to the camera, following the serialized novel.
Just as he was watching the climax, a slender, bony hand blocked Chen Ye's glowing screen, and Duan Xu's magnetic and pleasant voice came to his ears, "Didn't you say to go to bed early?"
Chen had no time to appreciate Duan Xu's voice. He was startled and his heart skipped a beat in the physical sense.
"You scared me to death, brother." Chen Ye turned around and looked at Duan Xu in the dim light of his cell phone. "You're not asleep?"
Duan Xu said: "Your phone light is so bright, I don't know what you saw ten minutes ago and you laughed, the bed was shaking, no matter how soundly I slept, I was woken up by you."
Chen was a little embarrassed. He turned off his phone, pulled up the air-conditioning quilt to cover himself, and closed his eyes. "I'm going to sleep now."
Duan Xu lowered his eyes and stared at Chen Ye's face, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't.
There was still one and a half months left in the summer vacation when Duan Xu went to school. The reason he gave was that his teacher asked him to do a project.
Chen also wanted to go with him, but was rejected by Duan Xu.
"I haven't found a house yet. I live in the dormitory. If you go there, there will be no place to stay."
Chen also knew that Duan Xu was avoiding him again.
On the weekend, Chen Ye and Duan Xu had a video call. Normally, they call each other twice a week.
Duan Xu's face in the video is a little distorted, but he still looks very handsome. Judging from the environment, he is now in the dormitory, and behind him is the blue cabinet of the dormitory.
Chen Ye was lying on the bed. Duan Xu frowned when he saw his exposed collarbone. "Wear more clothes, don't catch a cold."
Chen nodded perfunctorily, "It's so hot, no."
He said in a half-coquettish tone: "Brother, why don't you come back? There are still 20 days left in summer vacation, and you haven't finished your project yet? Come back and stay with me."
The roommate came out of the bathroom and glanced at Duan Xu's phone. Duan Xu put on his headphones and said, "It's only about twenty days. You can see me when school starts."
Chen also curled his lips, a little unhappy, but he still said: "Okay."
His emotions came and went quickly. He jumped out of bed with a notebook in his hand, "Look, this is the guide I made. I know all the housing prices around the school."
Duan Xu stared at the notebook for two seconds and finally said nothing. He changed the subject and Chen didn't notice.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Ye still had a smile on his face after hanging up the phone.
Duan Xu put away his phone and took out his professional book. His roommate Han Lei glanced at him and said, "Are you talking to your boyfriend on the phone?"
Duan Xu paused while flipping through the book. Han Lei said, "Oh, I told you I was gay at the beginning of my freshman year. I can tell from your tone and demeanor when you were talking to that person on the phone that you definitely like him."
After opening the book, Duan Xu said calmly: "That's my brother."
Han Lei was embarrassed. He also made mistakes sometimes. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
After living together for nearly a year, Duan Xu has always been very polite but also has boundaries. Han Lei wanted to find an opportunity to break the ice, but he didn't expect it to be so awkward.
But he couldn't blame him because his brothers spoke in that tone and manner on the phone, which made Han Lei think that they were in love.
Duan Xu said: "It's okay."
With fifteen days left in the summer vacation, Duan Xu returned home, and Chen Ye went to the airport to pick him up. As soon as he saw Duan Xu getting off the plane, Chen Ye immediately went over and hugged him. The hug was very short and almost separated at the same time, just like a hug between ordinary brothers.
"You are finally back."
Duan Xu said, "If you don't come back, are you going to call me ten times a day?"
Chen also raised his eyebrows, "I just miss you, don't you miss me? And it would be great if we could go to school together when school starts."
Duan Xu stared at the young man's beautiful eyes and eyebrows, his heart pounding, "Okay."
No one knew how much he missed Chen Ye. That longing tortured his heart and almost made him breathless. He wanted to break free from the shackles of the world at all costs, but Duan Xu still held back.
After returning home, Li Lijun cooked a large table of food. The whole family was happy that Duan Xu had returned.
At night, Chen Ye and Duan Xu were lying on the same bed. Duan Xu suddenly asked, "Are you really going to live with me when you go to college?"
Chen Ye: "Really? We agreed on this a long time ago."
"Won't you feel bored living with me? Don't you want to meet new friends? Forget it, you can live on campus."
Chen was also confused, not knowing why Duan Xu said that, "What are you thinking, why would I find you annoying, we grew up together and lived together for so long, wouldn't it be good to live together in college? And it's not like we live together, so I won't make new friends. Don't you want to live with me?"
It was Chen Ye who took the initiative to live with him. He didn't coax her or trick her into doing so.
Duan Xu took a deep breath. He had tried not to get closer and also tried to give up, but Chen Ye didn't notice the message he sent and left immediately.
"Then live together."
Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Duan Xu didn't want to live with him.
……
In the Capital University lecture hall, Chen Ye was spinning a pen in his hand while the advanced mathematics teacher was lecturing on calculus. The teacher coughed twice and took a sip of water.
"Let's look at this area, x and y..."
When the bell rang, the teacher didn't delay for a minute. He tucked the advanced mathematics book under his arm and walked out of the classroom. The students also swarmed away in groups of three or five.
Chen Ye was walking on the school's tree-lined path, holding a calculus book in his hand. The weather was just right for October, and a light breeze blew, lifting the boy's hair on his forehead.
Chen Ye waved towards the figure under the tree and quickened his pace.
Duan Xu, who was wearing a white shirt, held a glass of cold drink in his hand. He poked the straw into the cup and handed it to Chen Ye.
Chen Ye took a sip of the cold drink and said, "Let's go back and eat."
Today is Wednesday, and both of them have classes in the morning. They usually agree to meet on the boulevard in front of Building A after class.
The elevator slowly went up to the third floor. With a "beep", Chen Yexian asked a question.
When he reached the door of the apartment, Chen Ye pressed his index finger on the fingerprint lock and the door opened.
This is a two-bedroom apartment with an area of more than 120 square meters. The living room is very spacious, with a white sofa in the middle and a 42-inch LCD TV in front of the sofa.
On the left is the kitchen and dining area.
Duan Xu opened the refrigerator and took out the vegetables he bought from the supermarket last night.
He turned around to ask Chen Ye for his opinion, "How about stewing pork ribs soup and stir-frying shredded pork with green peppers and potatoes for lunch today?"
Chen also said, "Okay. I'll help you wash the potatoes."
Taking two potatoes into the kitchen, Chen Ye washed them and then cut them. He had spent some time learning to cook in his previous life. Although the food he cooked was average, his skill in cutting vegetables had improved a lot.
Unlike the first world, the shredded potatoes are almost like French fries.
Duan Xu cooked very quickly, and the two of them brought the dishes to the table a little after one o'clock.
"Brother, didn't Cui Mingzhe get admitted to Capital Normal University? He contacted me a few days ago and asked me if I wanted to go hiking in Longri Mountain this weekend. Do you want to go? And Sun Xiaoxiao will come with us."
Duan Xu scooped half a bowl of soup into Chen Ye's bowl, "You don't dislike exercise, can you handle mountain climbing?"
Chen was not convinced. "I can definitely run two kilometers. I haven't played around the capital since I entered college. Do you want to go?"
After placing the bowl in front of Chen Ye, Duan Xu uttered one word, "Go."
Chen Ye took a sip of the soup and narrowed his eyes. He knew that Duan Xu would not refuse him.
Staring at the progress bar of 80 above Duan Xu's head, Chen also remembered the first day he entered college when he suddenly found that Duan Xu's progress bar had moved.
At first glance, the progress bar was still 0, but at the second glance, as soon as the two people looked at each other, it became 55.
Not long after school started, the price gradually rose to 80.
As expected, this world was just as the system said, a welfare world that allowed him to relax, and it was very easy to conquer.
