Ch111.2 - Future (1/2)
Another Valentine’s Day arrived. Yu Hao bought Zhou Sheng a set of electronic cigarettes last year as a birthday gift to get him to quit smoking, while Zhou Sheng bought a gaming console for Yu Hao. Yu Hao thought, are you sure you didn’t buy this gift because you wanted to play it yourself?!

This year, Yu Hao was ready to buy birthday gifts for both Fu Liqun and Zhou Sheng. No one said anything, but they knew it in their hearts that once they step into their fourth year after the end of their third year, it might be their last year together.
“Do you have a lot of modules this year?” Cen Shan who came over to celebrate their birthdays asked with a smile, “The big guy said that you guys are staying at home every day, do you intend to take the post grad exam?”
Yu Hao had a heavy academic workload during his third year, while the sports department fared better. Yu Hao had to spend all his efforts coping with the curriculum before he could barely rank in his cohort. The more studious he got, the more he realised that he wasn’t really good at it. In any case, it was the kind of class where Zhou Sheng would be able to learn it easily just by flipping through books casually. A difference in IQ really does exist amongst people.
“I don’t think so?” Yu Hao was a bit confused too. In reality, once their third year was over, everyone would discuss the problem of where they would go for summer vacation after graduation. After all, their fourth year starts right after the end of summer vacation. Everyone needed to find an internship and prepare to start working in the outside world.
He wanted to take the post graduate examination like Chen Yekai too and support himself as a scholar. However, Yu Hao had to admit that people would never be born equal — this kind of inequality was reflected in one of people’s most fundamental nature, the difference in IQs.
“Then……Jie can help you ask around and find internships for you guys?” Cen Shan asked.
Fu Liqun threw out a meaningful glance, and everyone understood. If they were really going to rely on family, Zhou Sheng’s family would be able to resolve that issue easily, and Cen Shan’s help wouldn’t be needed.

Yu Hao said, “We’ll look for them by ourselves first.”
Zhou Laichun hadn’t called Zhou Sheng for more than a year, but Mama Zhou still retained her previous frequency of calling Yu Hao once a week. Yu Hao still called her “Aunt”, while Mama Zhou called him “Haohao”. Both of them understood in their hearts — they have mutually agreed that nothing happened on New Year’s Eve.
Fu Liqun was wearing a Lucky Bracelet that Yu Hao weaved on his wrist. Yu Hao measured Cen Shan’s wrist as well. Each of them had bought pure gold Changing Luck beads. Zhou Sheng strung his through the Golden Crow Wheel and wore them together, and Yu Hao weaved one for Fu Liqun and Cen Shan as well. He was almost done with Cen Shan’s now.
Cen Shan stretched her hand out to try it on and smiled, “Then what do you guys plan to do next?”
Fu Liqun casually said, “Don’t really have any plans, I don’t know what I’m gonna do.”
Cen Shan frowned and patted Fu Liqun’s head. Fu Liqun grinned and glanced at Cen Shan, “I’ve already thought it through, so don’t worry about it.”
The atmosphere of this meal was a bit weird. Yu Hao keenly noticed that there must be some problems between Fu Liqun and Cen Shan that still hadn’t been resolved yet. Cen Shan tactfully avoided talking about her plans after school reopens, and Zhou Sheng never mentioned his family’s situation. After dinner, Cen Shan’s family chauffeur came over to pick her up. Yu Hao said, “It’s rare for you to come, you’re not gonna stay overnight?”
Cen Shan said, “Next time ba, I have to go to my teacher’s place tomorrow.”
Zhou Sheng was cleaning up the dishes on the table and said to Fu Liqun, “You’re not sending sis-in-law off?”
Fu Liqun took the keys and took Cen Shan downstairs. Cen Shan looked back at the entrance and smiled at Yu Hao, “Eyelash Baby, Jiejie’s leaving now.”
Cen Shan’s smile could really cause a person’s heart to palpitate. Sometimes, Yu Hao wouldn’t be able to resist it even though he was gay. But tonight, Yu Hao sensed that things didn’t seem as simple as they looked.

Zhou Sheng was washing the dishes in the kitchen. Yu Hao wiped the plates with a dry towel beside him, “The two of them are always so weird, nothing will happen ba?”

“What do you think?” Zhou Sheng smiled.
Only then did Yu Hao know that Cen Shan came over for a meal today as a farewell. He asked, “When will she start?”
“October.” Zhou Sheng said, “By then we should have all started on our internships, and it wouldn’t be easy to meet up, so she came in advance to say goodbye.”

Yu Hao felt a little upset. In this case, if Fu Liqun didn’t leave with Cen Shan, then they would be in completely different countries. Although Cen Shan could still come back during the holidays, they would only have fewer chances to meet than now —— three years, if he had to be apart from Zhou Sheng for three years, he doesn’t know how he would be able to live.
Yu Hao remembered that he had only officially been together with Zhou Sheng for two years now. Yet, he didn’t know why it felt like they had been together for a long, long time.
“Gege can actually follow along ah.” Yu Hao said, “To learn something else. Being a ski coach is pretty good too.”
“That’s easy to say.” Zhou Sheng said, “They would be strangers in an unfamiliar place. Don’t just look at how sis-in-law is living an exquisite bourgeoisie life, it’s very tough to learn how to be a conductor. There are a ton of classes to attend every day.”
Yu Hao thought that was true, then Zhou Sheng continued, “Sis-in-law’s father’s intention is very obvious — he wants to split them up. For people, when they are in different environments, the distance between them will grow greater and greater, and it would be lonely to be in a foreign land too……”

Yu Hao said, “They aren’t the type who can’t stand loneliness.”
Zhou Sheng responded with an “un”, then answered, “So, they’ll just have to see if they can pass this test.”
Yu Hao finished wiping all of the plates. Zhou Sheng kept the stove, and the two of them were standing there as Zhou Sheng said, “Did you forget something?”
Yu Hao smiled, and like what he did after eating his cooking everyday, kissed him to express his satisfaction. Then Zhou Sheng opened the refrigerator to get some fruit for him to eat.
“Graduation is one ridge.” Zhou Sheng was sometimes very rational and calm, “The owner of this house broke up after graduation.”
Yu Hao sat on the sofa as he ate fruit and thought that being gay was good sometimes. After all, they’ve already managed to overcome such great obstacles like parents and family, so what other setback in reality can separate them?
