On Saturday, I came to the night voyage with mixed feelings. I deliberately didn't look at him or talk to him, for fear that he would guess what was on my mind by my eyes and words. This left me restless and on pins and needles all morning. Unfortunately, my patience was meaningless, and Jing Yehang was obviously aware of my awkwardness and abnormality. After afternoon refreshments, he invited me again to take a walk along the riverbank.

"I'm going to have to go to the top of the slope today!" I brace my spirits and pretend to be happy.

"Okay, accompaniment." Jing Ye Hang replied warmly.

It's only been half a month since the last walk, and the trees along the ramp are already lush and green, exuding a cool atmosphere unique to summer. Far from being annoying, the chirping of cicadas and birds adds a touch of life to the tranquil tree-lined paths. Sunlight shines through the foliage on the gentle slope, turning into spots of light all over the ground. I reached out and caught a small spot of light, but I felt content.

Just as I was concentrating on "catching" those points of light that were swaying in the wind, Jing Yehang's calm voice suddenly sounded beside me. "Whatever you want, just ask......"

"I ...... I don't have anything to ask......" I silently lowered my hand, feeling inexplicably sad.

"So you don't care about me at all...... It's so sad......" Jing Yehang sighed softly.

"That's not the case......" I tried my best to deny it while thinking about how to explain it, but I didn't want to find that the corners of Jing Yehang's mouth were slightly raised, not at all like he was sad. It turned out that he was kidding me...... I snorted angrily.

"Huh? This house is for sale? ”

I followed Jing Yehang's gaze and saw a closed hollow entwined iron door with a sign "for sale" hanging on it. Curious, I stepped forward, intending to peek through the crack in the iron door. It is a small three-storey bungalow, with brick walls painted beige on all four sides, and the roof covered with gray-blue tiles, which looks quite classical. There was a small garden between the small bungalow and the iron gate, which was overgrown with weeds, and many of the plants had withered, showing a desolate appearance, and it was estimated that it had been left untended for some time.

I pressed my face against the iron door, trying to see it better. "Are those roses? It's all withered...... What a pity......"

"You like roses?"

"Hmm...... "I instantly remembered the name that Xingyuan told me." The kind of rose called Austin...... It's beautiful...... Have you seen it? ”

"I don't think I've seen ......" Jing Yehang handed me his phone and asked, "Is this the case?" ”

I scanned the screen with my peripheral vision and immediately recognized the image above as a pink Austin. "That's it! What do you think? Looks good, right? I smiled and said, "There are many varieties and colors in Austin, but you can always see at a glance that it is different from ordinary roses, because of its special flower shape. "Ever since I saw Austin Rose at Xu Mingyao's coffee shop, I've been obsessed with it. I've searched the internet for a lot of information about it, so that one day I can grow a few of them myself.

"That's right......" Jing Yehang smiled and looked at me quietly.

"Uh......" I quickly turned my face away, but I felt that my face was hot and my heart was pounding.

"I don't know how much to sell......"

"You say here?" I looked at Jing Yehang in confusion, wondering why he cared about this.

"yes......"

"You don't want to buy it, do you?" I can't help but laugh at my nonsensical thoughts.

"If the price is right, I really want to ......," Jing Yehang replied lightly.

"You...... What did you buy it for? "At that time, the first thing that came to my mind was not money.

"I ...... I live by myself......" Somehow, Jing Yehang suddenly became stammering.

"But...... But didn't you say you wanted to study abroad......" I clung to the railing of the iron gate, and a sadness welled up in my heart.

"It's possible not to go ......," Jing Yehang replied in a calm tone.

"Not going? Why did you suddenly change your mind? I stared at Jing Yehang with wide eyes in surprise.

"You want me to go?" Jing Yehang asked in a low voice.

Of course not! I subconsciously pursed my lips to keep the words from coming out of my mouth. "I ...... I didn't think about it......"

After being silent for a long time, Jing Yehang said indifferently: "My uncle is afraid that I will be too far away from home, and he will not be able to take care of me if something happens, so he has always opposed me to study abroad......"

Hearing this, I remembered what my uncle told me about the night. The reason why he is so relieved to be at night is probably because he is still haunted by his sister's death...... "There are schools abroad that you like very much...... Or do you like the major? ”

"It's not a ...... if you like it very much," Jing Yehang smiled bitterly.

"That'...... Why don't you think a little bit about the universities in your country? I cautiously probed.

"I've thought about it." A meaningful smile appeared on Jing Yehang's face. "And I also put them on the volunteer search form."

"Really? Which schools did you fill in? I was anxious to make sure that what I had just heard was not a hallucination, so without thinking, I grabbed Jing Yehang's wrist and asked.

Jing Yehang lowered his head without saying a word, and after a long time, he slowly told me that his first choice was his mother's alma mater, and the other choices were filled in several well-known universities in neighboring provinces. Listening to his words, I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart. If all goes well, maybe I'll be able to go to college in the same place as him...... I suddenly realized that I had long been accustomed to the company of the night voyage, even to the point where it was difficult to give up.

"Great......" I muttered.

"You...... Are you happy? Jing Yehang's voice vaguely revealed a bit of pride.

"Nope! What does it matter to me where you go to school......" I hurriedly clarified.

"In that case, then why are you pulling me......" Jing Yehang muttered dissatisfiedly.

I was ashamed to shake off his hand. "Could it be that Liu Yuyang also plans to apply for those universities?" I can't think of any other reason to make a fuss about him.

"I really don't know what school he enrolled in......," Jing Yehang replied nonchalantly.

"Forget it, don't talk about him." Sensing that Jing Yehang didn't want to talk about Liu Yuyang, I changed the topic with interest. "Let's go, the sun is about to set."

"We still have about 10 minutes to get to the top of the slope, just in time for the sunset." After speaking, Jing Yehang smiled at me.

Because of Xingyuan, I was fortunate enough to witness the magnificent vastness of the sea at sunset. However, I prefer the tranquility and subtlety of the river in front of me to the depth and mystery of the sea. As I watched the sunset fade into the distance, as if sinking into the clear water, I sincerely believed that this would be the most beautiful dusk I had ever seen in my life.

Before the May Day holiday, I took an eco-friendly bag with a school uniform to find He Xinyi. I offered to use the school uniform for one month in exchange for a copy of all the materials in the cram school. Ho happily agreed, and promised that as long as I was willing to continue to lend out my school uniform next year, she would give me a copy of the materials for the cram course in the future. Ho's generosity dispelled my last concerns. At the time, I was so complacent about the bargain that I didn't foresee that I might have to pay a very heavy price.
