79. Chapter 081
Others often say that the peaceful days will not last long, but for Yu Gui, the calm that has lasted much longer since his resignation has greatly exceeded his expectations.
Nothing special has happened for more than a month, and the wind and waves have been calm.
In this way, he and Mak Kai-yin completed their studies in New York in a rare good weather at the end of May.
On the day of the graduation ceremony, not only Yan Shu was there, but even my grandmother came. Yu Gui stayed at Columbia University for four years, but his grandmother didn't come much during this time, and this time, before leaving the campus, Yu Gui thought about taking his grandmother around.
When Yu Gui was waiting to participate in the degree conferment ceremony, his grandmother was accompanied by Yan Shu, and Yu Gui stood on the steps and looked back from a long distance and could still see the two of them smiling at him. The smile on Grandma's face was particularly relieved and proud today, and Yu Gui could understand that there were still a lot of unspeakable feelings in her eyes, and she felt a lot of deep feelings in her heart, and when she realized it, her nose was sour.
The experience of living in the United States for more than seven years has not been easy for either my grandmother or him. Especially grandma, she really paid too much for him.
Fortunately, now that he has finally graduated and found a job that is enough for his grandmother to live a good life, he will definitely do his best to honor her old man in the future.
Thinking like this, Yu Gui couldn't help but turn his head and smile at his grandmother, but after looking at his grandmother, his gaze was glued to the person next to him, and it was difficult to take it away.
If you want to talk about people who are happier than Yu Gui, a prospective graduate, today, it should be Yan Shu in addition to grandma.
From the time he picked them up downstairs at his grandmother's house just now, Yan Shu seemed extremely excited along the way, and Yu Gui guessed that he felt that he could finally get rid of the relationship between "teacher and student" with him, so he felt very relaxed. Although the previous relationship did not have any impact on the two of them, after all, it was a subconscious obstacle in one's heart, which made people think about whether they needed to worry about something.
And now, this hurdle is gone, and Yan Shu's appearance is like being let go.
Before the ceremony began, everyone had various classmates gather together to take pictures, and he also actively squeezed up to join in the fun, pulling Yu Gui to take photos one after another, changing one posture and another, Yu Gui estimated that if it weren't for his grandmother's presence, he would have been able to have more fun, just like a child, so that in the end, Yu Gui couldn't figure out who was going to graduate.
At this time, the formal ceremony had just ended, and the students had dispersed to move freely, so Yu Gui walked over to his grandmother and them.
"Grandma, let's wait a little while, and then the wheat will come and turn with us." Yu Gui said after approaching.
Grandma smiled and nodded, but asked, "Maizi, this child came alone today?" Didn't anyone from his family come to his graduation ceremony? β
"No, his parents are both in China, and they are busy with work, and because the visa is not easy to apply for because of the unit, Maizi didn't let them come this time." Yu Gui explained.
"I see." Grandma sighed a little regretfully, "It's a little lonely to come to this kind of occasion alone, let's be together later, you children are so lively." β
Yu Gui couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard his grandmother's words. If Yan Shu is also regarded as a child, then there are only three "children" here in the full count, but listening to grandma's meaning, it seems to mean something else.
But there should be no one else around me who is more familiar...... Yu Gui thought about it again and finally came to the conclusion: probably because he was too worried.
"Return, return! Look over there! Yan Shu suddenly patted Yu Gui's shoulder with some excitement at this time, and Yu Gui followed his gaze and saw a group of children chasing me on the lawn with balloons in their hands.
"Professor, are you going to ask me to grab a balloon for you?" Yu Gui asked with a smile.
Yan Shu's face flushed, and he secretly glanced at his grandmother before saying, "No...... I want you to look around, you see a lot of people taking pictures with balloons......"
Hearing him say this, Yu Gui looked again and found that there were indeed groups of people standing on the edge of the lawn, many of them holding balloons of different colors in their hands, and it seemed that they should have received them from the same place.
"I saw it! Over there! Yan Shu suddenly raised his neck and looked into the distance and said, "There is hair next to Butler!" β
Yu Gui was so amused by him that he couldn't stop laughing: "Why are you more active than me, why don't I also buy you a bachelor's uniform and let you put it back as a graduate?" β
"That's not necessary......" Yan Shu looked at him, hesitated a little before lowering his voice and said: "Actually, I really thought about whether to wear my graduation gown yesterday, but after seeing the color difference between Harvard and Columbia's bachelor's gowns, I was embarrassed to wear it." β
"It's good that you didn't wear ......," Yu Gui laughed temperlessly, and jokingly said, "If you wear it, you might be thrown out." β
"Ah...... Will it? Yan Shu was a little nervous.
"Yes." Yu Gui is serious.
Grandma couldn't help laughing when she watched them talk, and said to Yan Shu: "Don't listen to him scare you, this kid has been able to bluff many people with jokes since he was a child." β
"Grandma, aren't you revealing my bottom line?" Yu Gui smiled, and just saw Mai Qixian walking over on the other side, followed by Yu Zhenzhen, so he beckoned to the two of them.
When Mak Qixian found the target, he sped up and trotted over, took Grandma's hand and began to say: "Grandma is really embarrassed to let you wait so long, I just went to find my little roommate, there are too many people, there is no way to delay for a while, don't be angry with me!" β
"Silly boy, are you still so polite to grandma?" Grandma grabbed his hand and patted it, then looked back at Yu Zhenzhen and asked, "This kid is your roommate?" Doesn't it look very small, freshman? β
"No, he's two times below us! Called Yu Zhenzhen, 'Yu' is the 'Yu' that has more than every year, and 'Zhen' is the 'Zhen' that is deafening! Mak Qixian patted Yu Zhenzhen's back vigorously as he spoke, and the child's thin shoulder was about to be slapped by him, but it was very magical.
And Yu Gui was a little surprised when he heard Mak Qixian's introduction, because it was rare to hear him use such elaborate words. I guess I've been with someone for a long time......
"Just now I was asking Xiaogui if you came alone today, and he said yes, but I didn't expect to bring this little friend." As soon as Yu Zhenzhen finished saying hello to his grandmother, his grandmother looked at him and said with a smile on his face.
"I didn't call him here, he had to follow, obviously after the exam, he didn't say that he would go out and have fun, but he was going to have a graduation ceremony, and I didn't know what he thought!" Mai Qixian said and slapped Yu Zhenzhen on the shoulder: "Say you are a fart child, didn't you sue sΓΉ yesterday that you didn't let you come, why did you cut it first and then play it today?" β
Yu Zhenzhen made a grimace with round eyes and said, "I'm curious, I want to see what the graduation ceremony looks like." β
"What's there to be curious about, you'll have it in two years!" Mai Qixian shook his head and sighed, and Yu Gui spread his hands, and posed with his mouth shape, "I don't understand the current children", Yu Gui couldn't help but smile.
"Then let's take grandma to a transfer school now, shall we? Just enough to take a few more photos! Yan Shu, who had been neglected for a while, finally found a crack in the conversation, and hurriedly interjected to mention yì.
Yu Gui knew what he was thinking, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's shoot while walking." Is Zhenzhen with us? β
"Hmmm! Together! Yu Zhenzhen dragged the schoolbag behind him to the front, pulled the cable and reached in to touch it, and directly took a SLR out. Grandma, senior, let me take a picture for you! I'm a professional! β
Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Yu Zhenzhen repeated it very seriously: "I am really a professional, I have studied photography!" β
"Poof--"
This time, Mai Qixian couldn't help but hold his stomach and laughed: "Mom, this little friend of mine is so funny!" β
Yu Gui couldn't help but smile helplessly when he looked at Yan Shu, and grandma seemed to see someone at this time and beckoned forward.
Yu Gui wondered in his heart, could grandma meet acquaintances here? He looked over with doubts, but he didn't expect that the person who was walking towards them was Li Chujin.
Yu Gui's face suddenly stiffened, Yan Shu glanced at him strangely, and also looked forward, but his expression paused slightly.
Because Mai Qixian was standing with his back to the direction Li Chujin came from at this time, he didn't notice it, and put his elbow on Yu Zhenzhen's shoulder and laughed.
And Yu Zhenzhen had already noticed the reaction of Yu Gui and Yan Shu, curiously brought his eyes together with them, and after recognizing Li Chujin, his mouth opened into an "O" shape, and he raised his shoulders twice to signal Mai Qixian: "Senior, senior!" Your ex-boyfriend is here......"
"......" The smile on Mak Kai-yin's face disappeared in an instant.
He turned around, and Li Chujin had already walked up to him, and the wide bachelor's uniform was covering him, making his whole person look much thinner than usual.
"Why are you here?" Mak Qixian's voice was very indifferent when he asked this.
Li Chujin's pupils shrank, and his lips subconsciously pursed in before he spoke: "Have you forgotten that I also graduated today?" β
"I didn't forget, congratulations on graduation." Mak Qixian paused, "But what I'm asking is what you're doing here." β
"I didn't come to you, what are you doing?" Li Chujin's tone also cooled, "I only came here when I saw my grandmother here." β
When Grandma Yu Gui heard this, she nodded and said, "That's the case, I just saw Xiao Jin and beckoned him to come." β
"That's right." Mai Qixian suddenly grabbed Yu Zhenzhen, who was standing on the sidelines, smiled politely at his grandmother and said: "Then grandma, you should turn slowly first, I just remembered that I have something else to do with Zhenzhen, and I am in a hurry, so I won't accompany you today, and I will find a chance to take you to another place to play when I go back." β
"Oh wheat! What's wrong with this suddenly? Didn't you and Xiao Jin get along before, why did they look awkward when they met this time? β
Grandma Yu Gui looked at Mai Qixian and then at Li Chu, and persuaded bitterly: "Young people are easy to be impulsive, and it is common for them to say a few heavy words and quarrel when their temper comes up, but that is not sincere, if you really quarrel, don't take each other's words to heart." Wheat, think about what you told your grandmother in the first place? Can you just give your grandmother a face today, and let's go for a walk together? Maybe you and Xiao Jin will be able to release their old suspicions later. β
Yu Gui gave Li Chujin a look when he saw that his grandmother finished speaking, combined with the words of unknown meaning that he had heard from his grandmother before, he already understood a little in his heart.
And Mak Qixian still insisted at this time: "Grandma, I'm sorry, I really can't stay here anymore, don't worry about it, I'm also forced to do it." β
"As a last resort?" Li Chujin suddenly asked coldly: "You obviously just made an excuse, where is there really something urgent." It's rare for grandma to ask you to walk with her, you just don't give face, and lie to her, do you think it's appropriate to do this. β
"Who said I lied?" Mak Qixian turned his head and looked at him lightly.
"Xiao Jin, I don't care what you think, but for me, it is the first urgent thing to distance myself from you at this moment, the farther away the better. It may be a bit ugly, but the truth is that I can't stay here with you. So I'm sorry, grandma, and apologize to you again, and if you blame me, I'll wait for me to come to the door next time and ask for your forgiveness. Good bye. After Mai Qixian said these words in one breath, he pulled Yu Zhenzhen and strode away, Yu Zhenzhen was jerked by him, and the SLR fell from his hand, but fortunately, he hung it around his neck in advance, so he did not suffer the fate of "smashing the ground".
"Feed the wheat!" Yu Gui couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw Mai Qixian leave like this, so he turned his head and quickly said to Yan Shu: "You accompany grandma first, I'll go and see if he will come back soon." β
"Eh--Yu Gui!" Before Yan Shu could react, the person in front of him had already run three meters away, and he couldn't help but sigh silently.
Looking at Li Chujin again, he was looking at the direction of Mai Qixian's walk away, and his eyes became more and more red.
"Xiao Jin......" Grandma grabbed his hand at this time and sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "Grandma wants to help you, but you also know the temper of this child, once he makes up his mind, others are afraid that it will be difficult to move him...... If you really want him to accept you again, you still have to pay attention to yourself. β
"Hmm......" Li Chujin nodded slowly, a little choked: "Grandma, thank you." β
"Don't thank me, grandma just hopes that you children can live well and happily." After grandma said this, she looked at Yan Shu with emotion, but didn't say anything more.
However, I don't know if it's my own delusion, Yan Shu seems to see some kind of familiar meaning from the way his grandmother looked at him just now.
It was something similar to what he saw in the eyes of his parents during his second showdown.
