Summer in Hagawa

Chapter 33 My Home...

When he woke up dizzy, the car had already stopped.Snow light came in through the foggy glass windows, dimly shining in the compartment.There was silence in my ears, except for the sound of snowflakes falling on the roof of the car, only the slow breathing of the man beside me.Ye Chuan turned his head. The silent man was sitting in the driver's seat with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth. His angular profile looked like a stable statue in the dim light.

"Are you awake?" Hei Liu took down the cigarette from his mouth, tilted his head and looked at him.

Ye Chuan sat up from the downed passenger seat, and a soft wool coat slipped off his shoulders.The black overcoat, stained with a faint smell of tobacco, was obviously not his own.Ye Chuan raised his eyes and saw that Hei Liu was only wearing a dark sweater. The cuffs of the sweater and shirt were rolled up, revealing a sharp wrist.

"I fell asleep?" Ye Chuan rubbed his eyes, a little embarrassed, he had never fallen asleep so recklessly in front of unfamiliar people.Maybe he drank a little too much, Ye Chuan thought, shochu or something, really strong.

"It's okay." Hei Liu seemed to be smiling, "Drink some water and get out of the car slowly, don't catch a cold."

Ye Chuan reached out to pick it up, only to realize that what Hei Liu handed over was not bottled water, but a thermos cup. He unscrewed the lid, and a burst of hot air mixed with the smell of tea came out.Ye Chuan felt a little surprised, "Is it tea?"

"Pu'er." Hei Liu's deep voice sounded special and mellow in the small space, "Black tea warms the stomach and is suitable for drinking in winter."

The tea is warm, with the unique aroma of black tea. After drinking it, there is a feeling of ironing from the tip of the tongue to the stomach.Ye Chuan let out a long breath, "It's very comfortable. But I can't tell the difference between black tea and green tea."

Hei Liu hummed indifferently, "Young people like stimulating drinks."

Ye Chuan laughed, "How do you say you are very old?"

"It's very old." Hei Liu lowered his head and lit the cigarette between his fingers, and said with a little emotion, "I'll be 27 in the new year, and I'm going to be three. How old are you?"

"It's really hard to say," Ye Chuan sighed in his heart. According to his memory, he is the same age as Hei Liu, but this obviously cannot be said, and no one will believe it. , but my mental age is relatively old. Well, I am about the same age as Brother Hei."

Hei Liu was choked by the smoke in his mouth, and coughed while laughing.

Ye Chuan quickly handed over the cup in his hand, "It doesn't matter."

Hei Liu took the cup and rubbed his head twice, "Let's go, let's see your house."

The two put on their coats, opened the door and got out of the car.The wind blows the snowflakes, which are moist and not cold, but refreshing.

In winter, it gets dark early, and the deep twilight reflects the light of snow on the ground, as if there is a thin layer of light mist floating in the air.Except for the duty room on the construction site in the distance, there is not even a street light around, but when he followed Hei Liu and walked forward, Ye Chuan didn't think there was anything unclear.Walking around the slope of the sales office, he saw the lake in the distance at a glance, faintly lit in the night, serene and quiet.

When the two workers in the duty room heard the movement, seeing that it was Hei Liu who came with someone, they thought something was wrong, and they were a little nervous for a while.It wasn't until Hei Liu said that he would bring his friends to see Fang Zi, and let them go back to rest, that he was relieved.One of them was more clever and handed over a big flashlight.

Hei Liu thanked the worker, and led Ye Chuan to walk in along the dirt road near the lake.Below the dirt road is a gently sloping bush that extends to the edge of the lake.Walking along the dirt road, the foundations of several villas were already being laid. Ye Chuan looked at the metal brackets erected around the houses, and felt that the residential area that made his heart beat in his memory had vaguely revealed its shadow.

"Hey, NO. 16th floor." Hei Liu focused the light beam of the flashlight on the bracket not far away, "The foundation has been laid. How are you, excited?"

Ye Chuan walked around his house, while searching for the impressions in memory in his mind, the smile lines at the corners of his mouth seemed to have self-awareness, and he couldn't close them no matter what.

"You chose this house well." Hei Liu followed behind him, seeing Ye Chuan's excited face, he couldn't help but smile, "The view is very good. If it were me, I would choose this house too."

It's a very different feeling to see a house directly than to watch it take shape from its foundations.Although Ye Chuan's boots were stained with mud, his mood was unprecedentedly joyful.Hearing Hei Liu's words, he couldn't help but said, "It's okay, you can come as a guest then."

Hei Liu seemed to be silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded slightly, "Okay."

After walking around the house a few times, Ye Chuan's excitement subsided a lot, and he began to think about other issues, "The high-rises in this community will also be very popular. Looking down from the heights, there are forests again. It’s lake water again, how nice it is.”

"The second phase of the original plan is in that area." Hei Liu pointed to the open space next to the first phase of the lake, "The third phase will be extended to the south. This is the best area by the lake. It will be fine if everyone gets up. .”

This statement is basically consistent with Ye Chuan's impression of Yingshui Bay.Ye Chuan turned around to comfort him, "Don't worry, Brother Hei. Anyone with eyes can see the advantages here. The other directors are not stupid."

Hei Liu nodded slightly, "I accept your good words."

Ye Chuan was preoccupied with talking, and accidentally tripped over something under his feet.He was already somewhat drunk, and his steps were sloppy, but when he stumbled, his whole body fell out.Hei Liu grabbed his arm and moved back. He didn't expect Ye Chuan to use no strength at all. Being pulled by him like this, he slammed into his arms, and he screamed.

"Are you okay?" Hei Liu knew it was a nose bump, so he couldn't help being a little amused.

Ye Chuan hit hard this time, covering his nose tearfully.Hei Liu looked down at him, only to feel that a pair of big black and white eyes were rippling with water, making the snowflakes all over the sky a little more bright and beautiful like spring water.I couldn't help but feel a slight movement in my heart, thinking that the child's eyes were really beautiful.

"It's okay, it's okay," Ye Chuan rubbed his hand a few times, pretending not to care, and let go of his hand.He's a big man, so he couldn't really squat here and start crying.Although it really hurts.

Hei Liu didn't realize that his eyes were so good.It was very dark and there was not even a street light, but by turning his side, he saw a crystal clear teardrop dangling on Ye Chuan's eyelashes, and then fell off with a click.Hei Liu subconsciously reached out to pick it up.

Ye Chuan was taken aback by his sudden hand stretching out, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Hei Liu suddenly wanted to laugh, he felt a pure and happy feeling in his heart, and he didn't know why.

Although Ye Chuan didn't know what he was happy about, it was undeniable that happy emotions could also be contagious.Ye Chuan looked at him and couldn't help laughing, feeling that his nose didn't hurt so much anymore.

"Is it cold?" Hei Liu asked him, "Go back?"

Ye Chuan hesitated for a moment, "Can... stay a little longer?" He still doesn't want to go back, and the excitement he felt when facing his future home for the first time has not faded.

"Yes." Hei Liu's voice was full of laughter, as if facing a cute child, unconsciously wanting to fulfill his wish.Naturally, he could see that Ye Chuan didn't want to leave so soon. Maybe it was because of the weather, the snow had just fallen, the temperature hadn't dropped yet, and the air was full of moist water vapor; maybe it was because he was standing in front of his house. , There is an indescribable satisfaction in my heart.

Hei Liu thought of the houses in his hands, and wondered why he wasn't as happy when he bought the house.It seems quite logical, if you have money, you buy it, and there is no extra emotional color in it.Is this kid too easy to please?Or are you naturally ruthless?

Hei Liu shook his head, lowered his head and asked Ye Chuan, "Still standing here?"

"Would you like to take a walk around here? I don't want to go yet." Ye Chuan rubbed his face, the snowflakes fell on his face, it was cool, but he didn't feel cold. This is his favorite weather.

"Then go to the second phase to have a look." Hei Liu looked at his watch, "It's still a bit far to go around here, you are not in a hurry to go back to school, are you?"

"Weekend, you can sleep in tomorrow..." Ye Chuan was stunned before he finished speaking. It is true that you can sleep in on weekends, but even if it is weekends, the dormitory must be locked on time.He was dizzy from two cups of white wine, and he just thought about looking at his house, completely forgetting the most important thing.

Hei Liu was keenly aware of something, turned his face and looked at him carefully, "Why?"

"It's okay." Ye Chuan quickly waved his hand, "I'm distracted."

Hei Liu stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "It will take more than an hour to go back to the city. If you want to see it, I will bring you over next time. Come here first today."

Ye Chuan's alcoholism has been driven away by the news that he can't enter the dormitory, and all he can think about is where he should live tonight.He didn't want to go to Ye Shifei's house to make a big light bulb, the best way out was to find a hotel to spend the night.Fortunately, ID cards, cash, and cards are all on the body.

Yingshui Bay is in the south of City B, and the University City is in the North District. To get back to school, you have to go through most of the urban area.Ye Chuan couldn't get into the dormitory anyway, and tomorrow was the weekend, so he simply thought about getting off the car early and finding a place to live, so that Hei Liu could go back early.I was dragged down by myself all night, and I didn't even have a nightlife...

"Brother Hei, I'll get off at the intersection ahead." Ye Chuan saw the neon lights of a business hotel not far away, and hurriedly greeted Hei Liu, "Just put me on the side of the road."

Hei Liu didn't know, so, "This is still far from your school."

"It's okay." Ye Chuan scratched his head embarrassingly, "The dormitory is locked right now. I'll just deal with it here all night, and I'll go back tomorrow."

Hei Liu patted the steering wheel lightly with his hands, as if he was thinking about something.Then slow down, pick the head, and the car drove into another street along the way it came.

"Hey, Brother Hei, it's over." Ye Chuan turned his head to look at the neon lights of the hotel that had been thrown behind him, "The hotel is over there..."

"Don't go to the hotel." Hei Liu glanced at him calmly, "It's so late, you're a student, it's not safe to stay in a hotel."

Ye Chuan felt that this statement...was embarrassing.He is a big man, how can he be insecure?It is impossible to rob him, he is a big man, over 1.8 meters tall, who would go blind to rob him?As for robbery?He looked at himself, not a single cell in his body looked like a rich man.Where is it not safe?Having said that, Ye Chuan was not unmoved when he heard someone consider him in a caring tone.

The street lamps passing by outside the car window left uncertain light and shadows on Hei Liu's face. He sat there, the profile of his side face was as hard as a stone, but it gave people a sense of stability.Ye Chuan thought to himself, he had only met this person three times, and knew almost nothing about this person's details.But it's weird, he actually... trusts him very much.

Ye Chuan thought to himself, maybe it was because Hei Liu had made everything very clear during the first phone call, the contribution and reward, and the potential interest relationship.The possible relationship between them is clearly marked, as if a suitable circle and a clear bottom line have been drawn at the beginning of their acquaintance.

This game circle was drawn by Hei Liu, and he accepted it himself.Ye Chuan believed that this was a hint, which meant that within this circle, he and him should have a relationship similar to that of a partner.And on this basis, this person is worthy of his trust.

Sure enough, it's because of my peers, it's so easy to understand.

Although the man next to him didn't explain too much.

Looking at the quiet street outside the window, Ye Chuan couldn't help but smile, "Then where is the safest place to go now?"

Hei Liu didn't even look back and said, "My home."
