Chapter Twenty-Eight: Don't Read Books, Look at People
"Then what if I asked you when you were writing "Epitaph"?" Qi Yi had already adjusted his mood.
"If you had asked me this question three years ago, I would have said yes at that time.
When I was writing that blog post, I felt that if it weren't for my self-deception, I would have discovered that I had fallen in love with you from the beginning.
I just didn't want to believe that someone like you could really fall in love with me at that time.
Your love keeps me on thin ice.
I'm afraid this is another way of targeting that hasn't been done before.
I'm afraid of being hurt, so I'm afraid to admit that I'm really in love with you. ”
Yan Yun continued to answer Qi Yi's question seriously.
"Thank you. Qi Yi's thank you contains too much of the past.
Yan Yun's answer just now healed the hideous old wound when they broke up, Yan Yun said that he had never fallen in love with him.
"Uh~ I don't know why, I want to laugh now when I hear you say thank you. Yan Yun's words began to turn again.
"If you want to laugh, you can laugh. Qi Yi looked indifferent, as if he really didn't remember it at all. I received a call from Yan Yun in the morning.
"I can't laugh right now, because I haven't finished answering your question yet.
If you ask me now, my answer will be three words – I don't know. Yan Yun looked at Qi Yi.
"Why?" Qi was also a little puzzled, did Yan Yun want to say that she was starting to deceive herself again?
"Because, I now think that when I was in high school, we were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and we didn't understand what love was at all, and it was a bit of a bit of a 'new word to say goodbye'. Yan Yun gave his own explanation.
"Then do you understand now?" Qi Yi actually wanted to ask if Yan Yun was already in love with someone else now.
"Now, I don't seem to understand, so the answer becomes not knowing. Yan Yun made a serious thinking expression.
Qi Yi wanted to continue the topic, but before the words could be spoken, he was stopped by Yan Yun.
"The noodles of the Mexican Student Association are not very tasty, and if you don't eat them, they will soon become difficult to swallow. Yan Yun urged Qi to eat noodles too.
Qi Yi also cooperated to eat. Sometimes, love is really not something that can be asked clearly in one or two questions, or one or two sentences can be explained clearly.
"How's that, are the noodles at SaigonNoodle Bar delicious?" asked Qi Yi.
"As you said, it's not very tasty, it's not bad, it's not very special. Qi Yi took a bite and concluded.
"So when I was at Moda, if I had a class in the morning, I would come here to eat noodles very often. Yan Yun said with a smile.
"Because it's not delicious?" Qi Yi felt that Yan Yun's logic was very strange.
"No, because what you say is characterless. You know, I've had dreams of being a characterless person since I was a kid. Suffering from the fact that it has not been realized, I can only place my hopes on this bowl of noodles. "Yan Yun's logic is often different from ordinary people.
"Is this all right?" Qi Yi felt that this was indeed something that only Yan Yun could say.
"Why not? The biggest feature of this side is that it has no characteristics.
So much so that every time I finish eating, I can't even remember what it tasted like except that my stomach was full.
Then, within a few days, in order to remember what it tasted like, I would eat it again, and the cycle repeated. "Yan Yun always has his own logic when he speaks now.
…………………………
After eating the noodles, come out of UnionHouse.
"Have you been to Melbourne before?" Yan Yun asked Qi Yi.
"Nope. Qi Yi replied.
"Oh, that's good. Yan Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
"What kind of strange reaction are you?" Qi was also a little puzzled.
"Strange? Strange, if you haven't been here, I can take you wherever I want, and I can introduce you as much as I want, and it doesn't matter if it's consistent with the facts, anyway, you don't know what the real situation is. This is the explanation given by Yan Yun.
"Why do I think you're going to sell me off?" Qi Yi looked worried.
"That's a good idea, I'll consider it seriously. After Yan Yun answered with a smile, he remembered another question: "When I called you in the morning, you hadn't woken up at all, didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Well, the jet lag can't be adjusted all of a sudden. Qi Yi replied.
"Is it a matter of jet lag? Shouldn't it be because he meets his hometown and can't sleep excitedly?" Yan Yun teased Qi Yi.
"It's a bit of both, and the probability of the latter is greater than that of the former. Qi Yi has nothing to be embarrassed to admit.
"Then you should be quite tired today, you just took the plane for so long, and you didn't have a good rest last night.
When I first came to UnionHouse, you had read the overview of the University of Melbourne about the same.
The University of Melbourne is located very close to the CBD in the city centre. So it's not very large, and it's not comparable to your Stanford.
Moreover, you seem to have some architectural styles here, you don't have them here, you have them there, and San Francisco is also by the sea.
I'm not going to take you on a campus tour or a visit to Dockland to see the sea or anything. Yan Yun actually hasn't figured out where to take Qi Yi today.
"I'd like to take a look at your school library. Qi also expressed his opinion.
"Ahh Yan Yun disagreed.
"I don't read books, I don't read people. Qi Yi was happy that Yan Yun even knew how big their school library was.
"It's been so many years, why hasn't your hobby of going to the library to watch people go on dates has changed?" Yan Yun said with a little amusement.
"Going to the library to watch people go on dates is your hobby, and my hobby is going to the library to see you. Qi Yi's expression was very serious when he spoke.
"It's the same as the truth, when I was a sophomore in high school, you took me to the library every day, even on weekends.
My mother persuaded me every day not to study so hard.
But in fact, every time you go to the library, you are busy answering questions from all kinds of students.
If I'm not too bored, how can I go on a date with someone?
Your hobby is not to go to the library to see me, but to go to the library to be seen. Yan Yun smiled and joked with Qi Yi.
Yan Yun has been troubled since he was a child because of his natural, particularly unpopular physique, but a person, like Qi Yi, is too popular, it is definitely another kind of trouble.
"You have a point, then I can just go and try it, a library where no one asks me questions, just me silently watching your library. Qi also has too many memories of being in the school library with Yan Yun.
But in Qi Yi's mind, there is no picture of Yan Yun studying in the library of the University of Melbourne in the past few years.
It's like a part of my memory is missing.
Qi Yi said that he wanted to see the library, but what he thought in his heart was to make up the picture of studying in the university library with Yan Yun.
