Chapter 172: She Under the Tree
When he got home, Daddy Bai was cutting fruit while watching TV, and when he saw Bai Ye enter the door, he beckoned him over.
"I heard that you took a leave of absence after finishing your work early today, where did you go? You can't eat with your classmates for an afternoon, right? ”
"When I went back to school, a few classmates opened a music studio at the school and asked them to help record a song, and it was there that I happened to meet a few other undergraduate classmates, so I said that we wanted to have a meal together."
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Daddy Bai nodded slightly, put the last piece of pulp on the plate, and showed a smile that everything was under control.
"Anyway...... Dad, do I have to be sued for taking a leave of absence?! ”
"How can people be so idle, but I have a very urgent document I want you to get, so come and ask me if there is anything particularly important about your leave."
"And what did you say?"
"100,000 urgent."
"Understands me."
"Of course, I'm your dad after all, what's more, I haven't forgotten that today is the child's birthday."
Daddy Bai smiled softly and handed the plate of cut fruit to Bai Ye.
Back in the room, Bai Ye listened to the song he had just recorded today, and then used it as the background music for the small video he had made earlier, which he specially created for Chen Xiaodi and Xiaobai, and it only belonged to their story.
On the other hand, Chen Xiaodi was eating cake while brushing the circle of friends, and he could always receive a lot of gifts and blessings on his previous birthdays, although he knew that it was only because they paid more or less attention to the birthday reminder function of their friends, but after all, it was also a blessing, and it could make people feel happy.
But now the message list is as deserted as usual, and there is nothing else except the message from Bai Ye, as if she has really wandered away from this world, and no one remembers her anymore. Not too surprising, after all, for most people, everyone other than the most important person is usually something that can only be remembered when they need their help.
Chen Xiaodi smiled lightly, quickly eliminated the cake, and continued to play the class that was paused on the computer.
Soon it was the new semester, Bai Ye continued to practice in his father's company, while nervously preparing for the opening of the thesis, there was almost no time to rest, and the sky in the provincial capital was always gloomy recently, which made his mood a little sullen.
The rest of the roommates were in a similar situation, lying in front of the computer during the dormitory time, and the whole dormitory was only the sound of tapping on the keyboard except for talking.
It had rained heavily in the morning, but it had begun to clear at noon, and the boys, who had been stuffy in the dormitory and were about to get moldy, finally looked forward to the sunshine they had not seen for a long time, so they thought that they would go out for a walk anyway. There are no theory classes in the second year of graduate school, so in the rainy days of nearly half a month, going to the cafeteria has almost become all their leisure activities.
"Let's go play, I'm going to be depressed if I hold back in the dormitory any longer!"
"Yes!"
"Bai Ye, do you want to go together?"
Bai Ye is the busiest person in the dormitory, but recently he has been staying in the dormitory for the opening defense, and after the start of the new semester, the roommates feel that Bai Ye seems to be not the same as before, although he didn't talk much before, but it never makes people feel so cold.
In addition, he has not been in a good state of mind recently, and he always looks tired, so his roommates will not bother him when they have nothing important, and they will be more distant when they come and go, and even feel a little unapproachable.
"Okay, just go out and get some air."
Bai Ye said, stretched his waist greatly, and sent a message to his two old roommates, and then quickly changed his clothes and went out with his roommates. The rainy and sunny campus was filled with more people, and the boys arrived on the basketball court with only the last half of the court left.
After not touching the ball for a long time, Bai Ye felt that some hands were raw, but he quickly found his form and became the Bai Ye who was comfortable on the field again. There were gradually some people on the side of the sports field, and there were more girls on the side of the white leaves, and Xu Zifan, who was sitting on the sidelines to rest, took a cursory look, and there were no people who didn't know anything, probably all of them were undergraduate freshmen who didn't know.
"It's okay this year, there aren't as many girls watching as in previous years."
"That's because he didn't attend the welcome party this year, but it's only temporary, you must know that gossip has always spread faster than serious news."
"Yes."
Xu Zifan and Yang Tianjie were talking, and it was time to change people again, Bai Ye came to the sidelines without hurrying, ignored the starry eyes of all the girls, picked up the water and took a big sip. His gaze passed through the human wall, and when he landed under a tree not far away, he was stunned, and then threw down the water bottle and rushed out.
In a blink of an eye, the white figure disappeared around the corner, and although the girls were curious, they couldn't blatantly follow the past to see what was going on, so they could only talk and stretch out their heads to look. Several boys looked at each other in confusion, so although they were used to Bai Ye walking like a fly on the basketball court, it was the first time to see him running so fast.
Ten minutes later, Bai Ye came back dejected, sitting on the edge of the court in a daze. Seeing that Bai Ye seemed to have lost his soul, the roommates came over one after another, they had never seen Bai Ye so lost.
"What's wrong? Why did you wilt after running out? ”
"Nothing."
"It's nothing, do you know that your expression is terrible right now?"
"It's really fine, just let me stay by myself for a while."
Hearing this, the roommates didn't ask any more questions, and returned to the court one after another, leaving Bai Ye alone in the gaze of the girls. Bai Ye was also absent-minded when everyone was having dinner together, just staring at the phone screen all the time, and it felt like he was going to stare at it.
Back in the dormitory, Bai Ye was still just looking at the photo on the corner of the table in a daze, at this time the roommates had some guesses, but they didn't know how to comfort them, after all, it was not a wise thing to take the initiative to uncover other people's scars.
"I'm ...... today I seem to see her. ”
"Who? Your girlfriend? ”
“…… Well. ”
"No, isn't she home? How did you come to our school? You must be reading it wrong. ”
"I don't know, but I always thought it was her."
"I think you've been too tired lately, and you've been hallucinating because you've missed your family Xiaodi too much, right?"
"yes, if you think about it, it seems like you haven't called your girlfriend for a long time, did you have a quarrel?"
“…… No. ”
"That's not supposed to be, if you don't quarrel, you can sleep without calling your family Xiaodi every day?!"
As soon as these words came out, the water that the roommate on the side had just drunk squirted out violently, and even Bai Ye, who was frowning a second ago, couldn't help laughing.
