Chapter 142: Return (2/2)
Tang Jinyu said, ”Where do you want to go, brother?”
Xia Ye felt that he was going to be sweetened by this little new year cake. It was soft and waxy, so obedient. He held his phone and said, ”If you go back early, I will take you to camp and make leaf specimens, OK?”
Tang Jinyu's first leaf specimen was made by Xia Ye for him. It was his kindergarten homework. Xia Ye remembered, and he always remembered it. He smiled with his eyes curved when he heard it, and said okay.
”This vacation can be longer, and divide them each one separately. When it snows, I will take you to step on the snow. Do you still want to go to the previous hot spring hotel? The ski resort has opened. It should be very busy in winter. There is a ski suit that I brought for you as a gift today… ”
Xia Ye whispered the arrangement. Whatever he said, the other person on the phone said it was okay. He was soft and temperamental. He could only imagine the other party lying on the bed talking on the phone. Before the change, as long as he raised his hand slightly, he could poke the little guy on the cheek, watch him blink, and then smile and call him brother.
”Brother..,”
Xia Ye returned to his senses and responded.
”Brother, I took second place in the competition last week.” Tang Jinyu smiled and said, ”Li He doesn't comfort me anymore. He said that he would stagger with me next time, so that we can all get a good place. He is really good, I used to think I practiced a lot, but now I know that he started practicing piano at the age of 3 and started to win competitions at the age of 5.”
Xia Ye counted the time and said, ”You practiced at 5 years old, two years later than him, and after two years, you will surpass him.”
Tang Jinyu was too happy, ”Where is there such a calculation, I am already very happy to take second place. My father said that he never expected me to take such a good ranking. He only wanted Uncle Xia to take me to practice my finger flexibility, so that I could recover.”
”Nonsense, you have always been healthy.”
”Well, I also think that since I didn't get sick in winter, and I have only coughed once this year until now. I am very healthy.” Tang Jinyu was a little proud, rubbing the tip of his nose, ”And I think I can play pretty well. It’s normal for me to take second place, and my brother is first!”
Xia Ye was amused by him.
After the summer vacation, Tang Jinyu started his sophomore year in high school.
His grades have always been among the best in the class, and coupled with his piano expertise, he is the key to cultivated seedlings in the school. His teacher was even a little reluctant to let him go to the conservatory of music, and he wanted to train another Qingbei student. However, after knowing that his piano teacher was Master Leo, he immediately stood in awe. When a teacher in the office talked about Tang Jinyu and Li He from Class 9, he would compare themselves with each other. Tang Jinyu, a good student, almost got a full vote, and no teacher neglected to praise him.
Even the head teacher of Class 9 shook his head and said with emotion: ”Li He's piano professional class is good. Compared with the small monitor of your class, his cultural class is far behind. He also loves to play tricks. Yesterday, he sent such a big papaya to a girl's deskin his class and drew a face to let her eat more papaya. ”
”What does it mean?”
”I didn't understand it at first, but then I heard other classmates say that the little girl brought a bottle of milk every morning, and he put a papaya in it, and it was just… a mess!”
It’s no wonder that the girl from Class 9 cried. Girls at this age are just beginning to develop, and bodies are almost the same as the washboard. One of the most popular TV advertisements this year was about papaya milk breast enhancement. Many boys make fun of this remark, and Li He coldly put a big papaya in someone’s else’s desk, in order for them to eat more, this was a prank that couldn’t be more straightforward.
The teacher scolded Li He and educated him, and he was not allowed to play nonsense again.
Li He was very depressed when he got out of the office.
For this reason, he was depressed for a week, and it was only relieved on the weekend.
Tang Jinyu also heard about his prank, and after asking Li He, he frowned and said, ”What is all this mess, who made eat her breast enhancement?”
”Then what do you mean?”
”Aren’t you Chinese? Haven't read a book before? It is said in ”The Book of Songs·Guofeng·Weifeng·Papaya” it says: You give me a papaya, I return a piece of jade to you…”Li He was dissatisfied and recited the two sentences, and stopped and said: ”She is still a member of the study committee of the class, and she doesn't even understand this. I don't like her anymore, she reads too little.”
(The Books of Songs- For instance, “木瓜，mu gua, Papaya” in “魏风，wei feng, The Ballads of the State of Wei” says, “You give me a papaya, I return a piece of jade to you, this is not a return gift, but a keepsake for a long lasting love.”)
”Why do I feel that these two papaya are not the same, and…” Tang Jinyu looked at him for a long time, and then swallowed the words that came to his lips.
It’s so strange that this is a girl, Li He, who looks like a mixed-race, looks like a foreigner. If he didn’t know him, he wouldn’t know if he could speak Chinese. Who would have thought that he was so classical in mind. According to the Book of Songs?
In the early winter, Chen Suling prepared this year's thick woolen coat in advance. According to the usual practice of previous years, Xia Ye and Tang Jinyu were dressed apart. This year they prepared horn button coats, the most popular style, which happened to match Tang Jinyu's school uniforms, especially The little suit he wore on Monday looked very scholarly, like a little gentleman.
This winter came a bit early, and Tang Jinyu felt a bit colder than others, and put on a coat with horns in advance. Inside he had his school uniform suit, a violet V-neck sweater vest, a tie, and a school bag slung when he walked out of the school door, he looked like a school grass. He has grown taller, and several girls around him were talking to him while walking, and he was already a head taller than the girls.
The eyes of many girls around him fell on his face. Tang Jinyu answered the question with a smile, and did not dodge, but the girls blushed.
Tang Jinyu raised his wrist and looked at the watch when he left the school gate, waved his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: ”Let’s stop here for the study group, everyone’s division is quite reasonable, and a list will be sent to the study committee tomorrow. After I summarize it, I’ll show it to the teacher.”
The girls were all members of the class. They nodded and agreed.
When Tang Jinyu went to high school, his family members would come to pick him up. During Xia Ye's absence, Chen Suling had always sent a driver to pick him up.
Tang Jinyu saw a cake shop open on the road and wanted to buy cakes, but the driver smiled and said, ”You don't need to buy it, it's prepared at home.”
Tang Jinyu was very familiar with the driver and curiously asked, ”Uncle Sun, do you have a cake at home? My mother didn't seem to say that she would one today.”
The driver just smiled: ”You'll know when you go back.”
Tang Jinyu had a good temper, and went home after hearing this, without stopping on the road.
When he returned home, he found that the peony in the yard had been watered. Someone had sketched the mark. He didn't think much about it, and entered the house with his school bag on his back. There was the smell of chocolate cake in the living room. It was Tang Jinyu's favorite to eat. The sweet smell kept spreading in the air. The tip of Tang Jinyu’s nose moved, and said he was home while changing his shoes.
There was a noise in the living room. Someone came slowly from the corridor, standing tall, casually pulling the sleeve of his wrist, looking up at him and smiling, ”Xiaoyu?”
After seeing the person standing in the living room, Tang Jinyu was stunned for a moment before reacting. Before he could put on his slippers, he ran over and hugged him. The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden, ”Brother!”
Xia Ye caught him, gave him a hug, smiled and said, ”Baby, I'm back.”
Tang Jinyu hugged him and didn't let go, and rubbed his head twice, very happy, ”I'm not dreaming, am I? Brother, are you really back?”
Xia Ye touched his head, rubbed it and said in a low voice, ”Your not dreaming, I'm here.”
