This sentence came too suddenly.

Le Zhishi didn't know what happened to him, and a shrimp he just picked up with his chopsticks fell back into the bowl.

Lin Rong didn't quite understand, "What do you mean by not going?"

"I'm not going abroad." Song Yu was very calm. "I have to take the college entrance examination, and I have already thought about what I want to do in the future and what major to study, so I don't want to waste time exploring other things."

Le Zhishi ended the dinner in doubt.

In comparison, the attitude of his parents seems to be more casual. In Song Jin's heart, hearing that Song Yu has plans for the future is more satisfying than hearing him choose one of the options given by him.

.

Lin Rong never focused her education on grades and future. She understood that Song Yu was a mature child, and the best love she could give him was respect.

Only Le Zhishi didn't understand, so he sat on the sofa in a daze, stroking Orange's hair with his hands. Orange was particularly good today and didn't run away from his arms.

Of course, there was a slightly delayed happiness in this incomprehension, because it meant that their distance had suddenly shrunk from the other side of the ocean to what he could accept.

It wasn't until Song Yu stood in front of him that Le Zhi came back to his senses and raised his head.

"Come out with me." Song Yu threw a coat over and walked toward the entrance alone.

In late spring, the temperature at night was very delicate. Le Zhi was wearing the coat given to him by Song Yu. The belated effect of the medicine seemed to have finally taken effect and he was no longer so uncomfortable. He was riding a bicycle through the dark night, and the wind blew softly up and wrapped him around him.

My body seemed to be swimming in warm water, with ripples of light cast by the street lamps.

After riding through a large park in the middle of the lake, many people were walking in the night. Song Yu parked his bicycle in front of a brightly lit convenience store and went in to buy something. Le Zhishi waited for him outside obediently, just like he did when he was a child.

When he was a child, Le Zhi was very greedy. Every time he entered a convenience store, he couldn't walk. He wanted to buy everything he saw, but most of the convenience stores were filled with things he couldn't eat. If he didn't buy them, he couldn't help but cry.

It’s difficult for everyone.

Later, Song Yu thought of a way - he ordered Le Zhishi to stand outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the convenience store, fixing a spot and not moving. Song Yu who entered the store would buy what he needed as quickly as possible, and would keep looking back during the process.

Check. If Le Zhishi is obedient enough, he will reward him with an ice cream.

It was the same this time, but because things happened a long time ago when he was a child, Le Zhishi was no longer the child who needed supervision. This unwritten rule had not been implemented for a long time, so when he took the cone from Song Yu, he still

It feels a little strange.

The cone was filled with air-conditioning from the freezer, and Song Yu's fingertips were also cool.

"Congratulations." Song Yu led him to a bench and sat down. "A reward for progress in the midterm exam."

Although the words were not said with much congratulations, and the prize was only a cone, the joy of knowing it was obvious. He lowered his head and tore open the package and found that he had never tasted this flavor before.

White peach oolong flavor, this is what it says on the packaging.

"You can only take one bite." Song Yu's tone became a little ruthless again, "You can't eat too much if you have a cold."

Le Zhishi didn't take his words too seriously. He found that this cone was different from other cones. His first reaction after tearing it open was even a little disappointing because there were no fancy chocolate or nut crumbs on the top.

Instead, it was covered with a layer of white, translucent jelly. When Le Zhi took a bite, his teeth were sore from the ice.

It turns out to be a layer of peach-flavored jelly.

He thought of Song Yu's words belatedly, "Only one bite?" He looked at Song Yu and frowned, "But the top layer is not very delicious. I didn't even eat the ice cream part, which means I didn't eat it at all.

.And no one’s cold will be aggravated by an ice cream treat.”

Only when you are eating and enjoying knowledge will you be able to think clearly and argue with reason.

Song Yu finally gave in. He leaned on the bench and looked at the lake not far away.

There was an invisible layer of mist on the lake, and a pair of lovers were kissing under the street lamp. When he looked at Le Zhi again, he found that he was really eating the ice cream very seriously, taking a bite and looking at the contents with his eyes.

.

After eating the layer of jelly, Le Zhi felt that it was very ordinary, so he took a tentative bite of the light pink ice cream paste.

Surprisingly very delicious.

He turned to look at Song Yu, his eyes lit up, "Milk tea flavor."

"What?" Song Yu turned to look at him, his expression a little confused.

"This ice cream is milk tea flavored, like oolong macchiato." Le Zhishi's tone was much higher, "Do you want to try it?" He held up the ice cream and handed it to him, not wanting to give it to him like he did when he was a child.

Just stuff it into your mouth.

But after handing it over, Le Zhishi thought that Song Yu didn't like desserts, so he withdrew his desire to share.

The moment he retracted his hand, Song Yu grabbed his wrist, pulled it over, took a bite of the ice cream with his hand, and sipped it.

By the lake, a naughty child throws a stone, the lovers stacked up under the street lamp distance themselves, and the moon in the center of the lake spreads out in surprise, turning into thousands of shining fragments.

Le Zhishi withdrew his hand, his wrist turned red.

Song Yu was silent for a few seconds and gave a comment, "It's not unpalatable."

The two of them sat quietly. Le Zhishi peeled off the cone shell and put it aside while eating. It took a lot of effort to eat, but in the end he was very satisfied and leaned back on the chair. "I feel that my illness is half cured."

"

Song Yu didn't laugh at his naivety. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over. He was a little confused when he heard about it. He took the wrinkled paper and looked at it carefully under the street lamp, only to find that it was what he had written before.

Study abroad schedule.

"Why is it in your hand?" Le Zhi almost stuttered in excitement. He grabbed the paper and wanted to crumple it into a ball again, or even swallow it and destroy it like in the TV series.

"I've memorized it all." Song Yu directly broke his fantasy, "Last time you took my book away, I went to your room to get it, but you weren't here and the table was messy. I looked through it and accidentally saw it.

This piece of paper is balled up."

"Accidentally?" Le Zhishi raised a very direct question on his wording.

"Yes." Song Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he even gave him advice, "Besides, secrets that don't want to be discovered should be destroyed in time."

He successfully persuaded Le Zhishi.

Indeed, I should have torn this abandoned plan to pieces right then and there.

"Why give up?"/"Why don't you go abroad?"

The two people said in unison and grabbed it together.

Song Yu stopped talking. Both of them waited for a moment, and Le Zhishi spoke first, "I originally..."

He thought for a moment and said directly, "You want to go abroad, and I don't want to be separated from you, so I want to go abroad too."

After hearing these words, Song Yu held the edge of the chair with his hand on the bench. A bird flew over the lake, its wings passing over the water, leaving traces.

Lowering his eyes, Le Zhishi continued, "But I have no money. The pocket money I usually save is not even enough to cover the registration fee for the English exam, so I wrote a plan to save money by studying and working part-time."

"But I later discovered that I might not be able to save so much money, and I didn't want to spend it on my uncle and aunt. And..." He thought about what happened in the hospital that day, paused, and changed his reason when he said it, "Aunt Rong might also

If you don’t want me to go out too, it will definitely be hard for her to be at home alone."

The time on this schedule starts from the day when Song Yu and his father chatted in the evening. According to the schedule, a small check mark is placed on each day, and the last check mark ends at the hospital.

Song Yu saw him hiding in the corner of the kitchen counter, eating cinnamon rolls in silence that night.

"So you gave up going abroad and studied hard to pass the high school entrance examination?"

When he was happy, he found that Song Yu's tone was a bit strange, like a rhetorical question, but more awkward than an ordinary rhetorical question, as if he was a little angry.

"Aren't you happy?" Le Zhishi asked.

His big innocent eyes stared at Song Yu. Song Yu pursed his lips and asked, "Why am I unhappy?"

Le Zhi said oh, thinking that maybe his feeling was wrong. But for the time being, he didn't want to answer Song Yu's question head-on, because he didn't want to say that he was practicing in advance because he was afraid of being separated from Song Yu, which sounded a bit stupid.

So he nodded, "I was going to study hard. Now I am ranked third in the class."

Song Yu didn't continue to ask.

Le Zhishi repeated the previous question, "Brother Song Yu, why don't you go abroad?" He thought of the abandoned plan that was picked up and raised the paper ball, "It can't be related to this."

He just said that he didn't want to separate, which felt like a kidnapping, so he added, "I said I wanted to study abroad with you, but I can't go and I won't stop you."

This sounds a bit overconfident, but Le Zhishi is such a child. The care and love he received since he was a child allowed him to grow into a child who can directly express his emotions.

"It's not all because you gave up going abroad." Song Yu answered evasively.

Le Zhi was not too disappointed. If Song Yu said it was because of him, he would feel that the other party was possessed by a ghost.

"Actually, I never thought about going out to study. It was just an option before me." Song Yu looked at the lake, "I hadn't fully thought about what I wanted to do in the future. I thought about it for a long time before making a decision.

.”

He took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Le Zhishi as well.

"What's this?"

Song Yu glanced at him, "Do you remember what I told you last time about the gifts your father gave me before? You said he didn't even give them to you."

"Is this a hand-drawn map by him?" When he heard this, his eyes lit up.

Song Yu's tone became a little helpless, "I drew this. The first time we traveled when we were children, we were in Jiuzhaigou Valley, and this is the topographic map there."

Le Zhi brought the picture closer and said, "It's amazing. I still remember the photos we took together. It's so beautiful there."

Song Yu hummed and continued, "I will stay to take the college entrance examination and study the major I want to study." He looked up at the sky and unexpectedly found a few exceptionally bright stars.

Le Zhishi liked this feeling very much. He felt particularly satisfied that Song Yu was willing to tell him what he had not finished saying at the dinner table.

"Brother Song Yu, can you give me this picture?"

Song Yu looked at the lake, "What's so good about this? It's not a painting by your father."

He was just joking. Unexpectedly, Le Zhi grabbed his arm and said very directly and sincerely, "That's what I want you to draw."

In fact, Le Zhi was nervous. He felt that there was a high possibility that Song Yu would not give this to him. After all, this was the first topographic map he drew, and it was also the place where he first traveled. It was very memorable.

But what he didn't expect was that Song Yu looked at him and said casually, "Okay."

"Really?" Le Zhishi couldn't restrain his excitement and sat closer, almost touching each other, "Are there no conditions?"

How could anyone come up and ask for conditions?

"You reminded me." A slight smile appeared on Song Yu's lips, "You can exchange your paintings with me."

What a good thing this is, Le Zhishi agreed without hesitation, "Yes, you can choose whatever you want! I..."

Wait a moment.

Seeing him suddenly pause, Song Yu deliberately asked him what was wrong.

Le Zhishi blinked, "Which one are you talking about?" He had already seen the schedule, so was that painting on the table...

Song Yu became more and more calm, "It's probably the picture you have in mind."

No way, Le Zhishi stood up immediately, with such a posture that Song Yu thought he was going to jump into the lake.

The light from the convenience store shone on him, making his ears turn red.

He secretly saw Song Yu feeding stray cats and even painted a picture. Doesn't he look like a pervert in the TV series?

Song Yu wanted to tease him again, so he raised his head and asked, "So reluctant?"

"No." Le Zhishi explained, "I saw it accidentally." Then he drew the picture accidentally. This reason was very funny, and it didn't answer the question, so he didn't say it. He didn't know why he did it.

He was hot-headed and spoke arbitrarily, "This is not my first time drawing. There have been many cartoon villains before. You don't want them even if they are given to you."

"When did I stop wanting it?" Song Yu looked at him, "It's you who is so sneaky."

Le Zhishi retorted, "I saw it openly." He added, "Not only did I see it, I also wanted to tell Orange that you have other cats outside, and there are a lot of them."

Song Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, the kind of smile he hadn't seen in a long time.

Seeing him like this, Le Zhi felt that the energy he had been holding back for so many days had finally dissipated. But he vaguely felt that he was not like himself recently, a little worried about gains and losses, twists and turns, inexplicable sadness, and happiness.

It was inexplicable. He could freely say that he didn't want to be separated from Song Yu, but he couldn't naturally explain the paintings he drew late at night.

Seeing that Song Yu was still laughing, Le Zhi felt a little embarrassed and asked him to stop laughing, and grabbed his arm to pull him up.

But Song Yu held his arm instead, and the smile on his face dissipated a lot and calmed down.

"Give it to me, I like it very much." He said seriously.
