Chapter 6: Affection and Love [6.2]

When the plane arrived at Metropolitan Detroit International Airport, Mr. An was waiting at the pick-up gate and saw me at a glance.

He was wearing a simple sweatshirt and trousers, looking a little thinner than in the video, with white skin, tall and handsome appearance, which made him look particularly dazzling in the crowd.

Mr. Ann's freshly cut hair smelled of shampoo coming out of the barbershop. He put one hand around my waist and hugged him to his chest, and the other hand on the back of my head, and we didn't see each other for a long time, and both of them were a little excited, eager to stick a little tighter and smell each other's body more.

"He Xi, welcome!" Mr. Ann said he rubbed my face and rubbed my hair again, "It seems to be shorter than last time." ”

I hugged his waist and held my head up so he could see my face better.

"My mom cut it." I said to him, "Is it pretty?" ”

His hand was still rubbing against my ear, his handsome face was magnified in front of my eyes, and he rubbed the tip of his nose against mine, and said with a smile, "Auntie's craftsmanship is very good." ”

There weren't a lot of people at the airport, and Mr. An was holding me with one hand and pushing my large suitcase with the other. We came out of the terminal and took the elevator to the garage, and Mr. An told me on the way that he had been taking a driver's license for two or three years and that it was finally going to come in handy.

"I borrowed a car from a friend, he happened to be out of the country these days, He Xi, if you want to go anywhere, I will drive with you."

I looked at him and said, "Okay." Do you usually drive very little? ”

"There are very few, not many opportunities to drive." Mr. An took the steering wheel and turned his head to look at me, "Why, don't you dare to take my car?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Once I've been in my mother's car, no one else will dare to sit in the car anymore." ”

Mr. An smiled, he took my free hand, put my hand to his mouth and kissed it, and said, "I don't know if I should feel sorry for you or my aunt." Auntie knows that you complained about her like this? ”

I said, "Don't tell her, she'll be sad." ”

Mr. An assured that he would never sue me in front of my mother, and he also told me that he had received a reply from the Vancouver Architectural Design Institute, that he had passed the re-examination, and that the two parties were currently going through the entry procedures, but because of the work arrangement of the design institute, he would stay in the United States after graduation to follow up on the projects that had been prepared to start, and would not return to the design institute to report as soon as possible.

I was so happy for him to hear the news, although I knew that with his ability there was a better option, but if he also stayed in Vancouver to work, we would have more opportunities to meet in the future.

Mr. Ann was afraid that I would be disappointed, and he told me with some apologies that maybe in the next year or two their projects will still be focused on the United States, Mexico, and South America. After hearing this, I said, it's okay, I'll go back to Vancouver when you take a vacation in the future, and if I don't have a job, I can fly over to see you, anyway, I'll be a free man soon, and there's no problem accommodating his time.

Mr. Ann seemed to be touched by me, he looked at me for a moment and didn't speak, and then he took my hand and kissed me again.

"He Xi."

"What?" Because he was always paying attention to the road, I had to turn my upper body to face him, and I leaned a little closer, "I was so moved that I couldn't speak?" ”

Mr. An glanced at me, and then said to me very lightly: "Don't look at me like this now, I can't help but kiss you." ”

I was stunned at first, and then I felt that my whole face was about to burn, but seeing that Mr. An's face was not red and his heart was not beating, I couldn't help but say a word in my heart. What a clean and pure child An Jiashu was before, God, what have you made him go through in the past few years, why has he become not only thick-skinned now, but can also speak sultry words so calmly?

I said, "Don't think that if you don't look at me, I don't know that you were molesting me." There was a red light in front of me, and when I waited for the car to stop, I quickly turned Mr. An's face, and I really leaned in and kissed him, and I said to him: "You see, I don't have to tease you, I can kiss you." "So, who can get whom.

Mr. Ahn's apartment was near their school, and the car pulled over a two-story red-walled house across a gray road lined with trees for two weeks. The yard of the apartment is not large, fenced with a white fence, there are two small pine trees at the door, and maple trees are planted on the sides of the fence.

Mr. An told me earlier that his roommate was a Chinese student from Hubei Province, named Lin Dong, who was a graduate student in the School of Bioengineering, but he planned to stay at the school after graduation to pursue a doctorate in his major.

When we arrived, Lin Dong was doing shooting practice on the first floor of the apartment, and there were two or three bags of household garbage on the porch of the living room, as if he had just done a big cleaning. When he saw us, he immediately put the ball away and walked over to us.

"You just messaged me that you were on your way, I thought you had just received someone, but I didn't expect to arrive so soon." He first said to Mr. An, and then greeted me: "Hi, hello, He Xi, welcome!" ”

"Hello, Lin Dong, thank you." I say.

"You just call me Dandong like Kashu, they all call me that." He said.

"Danton?" I glanced at Mr. Ahn, who raised an eyebrow at me, meaning that I would call him as he said.

Later, I learned that there was an allusion to the name "Dandong", the "Dan" of "Dandong" was taken from Lin Dong's idol basketball superstar Mr. Michael Jordan, I heard that Lin Dong wanted to change his name to "Lin Qiaodong" or "Lin Dandong" when he was in high school, but because his name was taken by his grandfather, his parents did not agree, so the name was not changed.

Mr. An moved my two large suitcases to the room on the second floor and asked me to take a break with a drink of water on the first floor before he showed me around the house.

"Originally, we planned to prepare a welcome ceremony for you today, and then we went to the outdoor barbecue, but Katsuki said that you are too tired to come by plane, so let's postpone it until tomorrow." While talking to me, Lin Dong put away the game console, ***, microphone and 3D glasses on the table. Obviously, this room has just been held.

I said, "Thank you so much." ”

"You're welcome, we all know you're coming, we're all prepared, and my friends and I are very happy to meet you." "If you don't mind, I'd like to dispose of those garbage bags first, it's just not bright and polite enough in front of the guests," he said, gesturing to the porch.

I smiled and said, "I don't mind, but please." ”

I stayed on the ground floor for a while, and the whole building was designed in an American pastoral style, with a casual atmosphere, plenty of space for activities, and my favorite fireplace design. Looking from the living room, there was a room near the balcony with drums, bass, electronic piano and other musical instruments, and just when I felt the doubt, Mr. An came over and asked me if I should go shopping on the first floor or go and see the room he had prepared for me.

I was dying of curiosity and asked him, "Do you still play in a band?" ”

Mr. An said: "I used to play a little more, but now I have less. ”

I said, "Why?" ”

"There's not that much time."

"I can't really see it." I say.

Lin Dong, who had just come back from taking out the garbage, interjected and came in, "He Xi, you don't know, there are a lot of things in the Jiashu Society." ”

I said, "What type do you usually play?" ”

"You ask him." Lin Dong gestured to me with his eyes.

"Rock." Mr. Ann said.

"Rock 'n' roll, to be precise." Lin Dong said, "This guy doesn't like heavy metal elements, he likes classical." ”

I was even more surprised: "I can't really see it." ”

Lin Dong laughed out loud, "He Xi, there are still a lot of things you can't see, let's slowly dig up the treasure of Jiashu in the future!" ”

Mr. An took me to visit the room on the second floor, my bedroom was opposite him, because Lin Dong's room was on the first floor, so there were only two of us on the entire second floor, there was a very wide corridor between the two rooms, the right back side used to be a small duplex attic, and on the left was a terrace as big as the same floor.

Mr. An told me that Lin Dong would go back to school in two days, so that I wouldn't feel inconvenient, but I said no. Lin Dong has a more interesting personality than I thought, we should get along well, and I hope to learn more about him from Lin Dong.

"The weather here changes very fast, and none of the clothes you bring with you can keep you warm." Mr. An opened my closet, "The other box is full of your cameras, so I won't tidy it up for you." ”

"Leave me alone." My mother helped me pack my clothes, all the new dresses, shirts and jeans that day. She probably didn't think about it that much, but she was happy that I could wear all the clothes she bought for me.

"If it cools down, I'll wear yours first, and then I'll buy it then."

"Okay." Mr. An turned his back to me and nodded, "I still have a few sweatshirts there that you can wear, do you want to wear sportswear?" ”

"Everything." I stepped forward and grabbed his waist from behind and took a deep breath.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time." I say.

"He Xi."

"Shhhh When I saw him at the airport for the first time, I wanted to hold him all the time, thinking that the two of us could just stay together quietly without saying anything.

I think I really, really miss him, every minute after meeting is more than the previous minute, and I want to see him more when I don't see him.

"It's uncomfortable for me to bend over like this." Mr. An said very beautifully, and when he straightened his back, he turned his head and said, "You can hold it, you can hold it for as long as you want." ”

We were going to go for a walk around the school and settle our dinner in the school cafeteria, and this offer was made by me, and Mr. Ann had to accompany us. He brought me a tracksuit jacket he was wearing, took out my sunglasses and put them on my head. I always take my camera with me wherever I go, and at this time he took it and hung it around his neck.

"Let's go, girl." Mr. Ann kissed me on the cheek and the back of my hand.

Ann Arbor is a very quiet and clean town, and the sky is incredibly blue during the summer daytime. The climate here is relatively humid, and even in summer, the weather is relatively cool, so it is perfect for escaping the heat and living. Mr. An said that every year during the graduation season, there is an art festival here, when you can see various street art exhibitions, as well as performances by art teams, if we plan to stay here for a while, I can also take some photos about the art festival, there will be no shortage of materials.

"Do you want to?" I asked him, "I'll stay with you as long as you want to stay here." ”

Mr. An sighed softly: "I don't know how long I can stay, if there is someone on the engineering side, I have to go over." ”

There is the temperature of the sun on his body, and Mr. An's hands are slightly cold, but he feels very safe.

"What about you? Didn't you say there was a job here last time? He asked me.

"It's okay, I told them the time is uncertain." I said, "Why don't we just go with the flow?" ”

Mr. An also nodded: "Let it be." ”

Since it wasn't a weekend, we would meet a lot of students on the road, some of whom Mr. An knew and they would stop to say hello to us, but I was curious because I had a video camera in my hand and would take a picture or two from time to time.

"You are well-known in our school for majoring in art history." Mr. Ann told me.

I said, "How can I be, I should be my teacher to be famous, how do you know?" ”

"Your teacher is very famous, but they also mention you, and I sometimes go over to listen to the lessons."

I thought it was incredible: "Wouldn't it feel boring and boring?" "Photography majors, unless they are practical and practical, are dry and very boring.

"I don't think it's boring, some of the classes in architectural history are very boring, but I just think about what it will be like when you take these classes. I'm guessing you're going to be bored and deserting, but you're going to be answering the professor's questions, because you're going to have a lot of ideas that don't agree with him, and you're arguing with him about why it's the way it is and why it's not like that. Am I right? ”

I thought it was funny and asked him why he thought I would still be the same as when I was in high school, when I was a good student who studied hard and practiced hard. But I thought to myself, if we can go to college together and go to graduate school in the same school, then we will definitely be the same as when we used to study, although we don't attend classes in the same place, but we will go to the library together and go for a morning run together, at that time, I will not wait for him to confess to me first, I will chase him when he is a freshman, and I will not give anyone a chance to covet him. We will definitely be like other ordinary campus couples, walking hand in hand to every corner of the campus, struggling together to read at night, eating together in the school cafeteria and the food street around the school, and when we have time, we will travel, feed the sheep, cattle and horses, and I will also take pictures of every place we have been.

It is a pity that I did not experience a freer and more fulfilling university time with Mr. Ahn, and I often think that maybe this time will also make up for us later, and it is precisely because we are all better together than before.

Although I still have a lot of curiosity about how Mr. An spent his college years here, and I still have a lot of doubts about what happened seven years ago and in the past few years, I believe that what I can see in front of my eyes and hold in my hands is real to me and should be cherished.

I asked him, "Do you have any regrets about not completing your university?" ”

Mr. An smiled and said, "I haven't gone to the cafeteria with my girlfriend to eat, I haven't taken a self-study class together, and I haven't ....... yet."

"Wait, wait." I said, "Let's start with these two things today." ”

"Let's go, girl." Mr. Ann said.

I found that when Mr. An was in a particularly good mood, he called me another "girl", although I don't know how this came about, but it sounded very good, and there was a feeling as if he was cherished and pampered, preserved by the most innocent and beautiful part of my heart.
