Ji Rui glanced at the box, unpacked and turned it on. There was only one number stored in the phone's address book, which was his mother's new number.

He turned around and entered the room and dialed his mother's number: "Mom, did you arrive smoothly?"

The other side responded, and the voice transmission over the phone sounded a bit distorted: "You have to take care of yourself alone. I heard them say that you still live in our original place. There is still one and a half months in the summer vacation. In that house, they can take care of you."

Even if people are not here, mothers still care about their son very much.

Ji Rui's mood in this society has calmed down a lot. If he didn't have a part-time job, he might have agreed to his mother's request. But at this time, he firmly refused to say: "No, I think it's good to live here. Yes, and after so many years, I am not used to living with outsiders or being served by someone."

He was originally an ordinary boy, not a rich man.

Ji Rui's mother persuaded him a few more words. Ji Rui looked at the wall and said: "For me, this small house is my home, and if I live in the past, I am afraid that I will forget the appearance of my father."

The son mentioned his husband who died young, and the end of the phone immediately became silent, and even his breathing became a little heavy.

Because she did not get the respect of her parents, in order to avoid becoming a father-like person as much as possible, Ji Rui's mother showed respect for her son's choice.

"Since it is your choice, then mother respects you. Time flies so fast, I have to forget that you are already an adult."

The mother and son talked on the phone for an entire hour, and Ji Rui’s mother had a voice reminding her to cut off the call.

Ji Rui’s mother said to her son a little guilty: “The doctor said that I will have less contact with electronic products in the future, and during the treatment period, I may not contact me much.”

"It's okay, I'm not a kid, and keeping your body well is the most important thing for me."

Ji Rui’s mother naturally knows that her son is not a child, but she has just grown up at the age of eighteen and has not yet entered the society. Which parents do not care about their children. In her situation, if something happens to her son, he will ask for help. No more.

She sighed and cut off the call with Ji Rui after all.

This phone call made Ji Rui feel at ease. He didn’t have many friends in this city. Before, because his mother was seriously ill and the family was in financial difficulties, he even had to pick up **** to supplement his family. In this case, even though he didn’t feel it. What is it, but my former friends are still far away from him.

Now everything is changing in a good direction. He will have new friends and everything will be fine.

Before his mother left, he left all the savings left in the family to him.

The house they lived in still had a deposit of less than 30,000 yuan left. Ji Rui originally wanted to take an art exam, but it was too expensive to study art, so when his mother was sick, she switched to a design major.

Although it is an undergraduate, it is still in the art school, and the tuition is more expensive than other undergraduates in the school, about 10,000 tuition a year.

This is just tuition fees. In addition to tuition fees, he also has living expenses and various expenses. If the mother wants to treat the illness, there is definitely no way to make money. He doesn't really want to use the money of his grandpa and grandmother.

Although they are related by blood, to him, the two old men are just strangers, not relatives.

When the other party doesn't like him, he doesn't want and has no face to use the other party's money. Especially when he took the money and agreed not to meet his mother, he would feel like he had sold his mother.

But relatively speaking, he doesn't need to pay extra for his mother's medical expenses, and his financial burden is much smaller. He certainly doesn't need to collect waste and pick up trash. He can still do all kinds of part-time jobs.

Working at Lu Yi's side until the 15th of August, Ji Rui received his first part-time salary.

The money is not too much, but it is very meaningful, and there is one thing that he has delayed for so long and hasn't talked to Lu Yi until this time. He feels that if he doesn't tell Lu Yi, it feels a bit like a fraud.

So after washing the dishes and chopsticks, he went to knock on Lu Yi's door: "Um... Mr. Lu, there is something, I want to talk to you."

Lu Yi put down his work and walked out. During Ji Rui's work for more than a month, Lu was very satisfied with him.

Although the other party is young, he does not have the squeamishness of a child of this age. He is very diligent and clean every time he comes to do things.

So when he learned that the other party lived alone, he asked the other party to put an extra set of tableware here, and then go back after eating.

Anyway, it would be a waste of him to eat alone. If two people, he can eat a few more dishes. After the other party finished the meal, he wrapped up the dishwashing job.

Moreover, cleaning is also included. In terms of labor, Ji Rui is obviously a good contract worker.

Based on the goodwill value of the other party's hard work, Lu Yi is willing to squeeze out his few spare time to the other party: "If you have anything to say, you know I'm busy."

Lu Yi's current life does not have any extra social interactions. Except for exercise in the morning and after dinner, he hardly goes out, but that's it, he is still very busy and busy making money.

Ji Rui looked at Lu Yi and clenched his fists. He said sincerely, "I'm sorry, when I applied for the job before, I said that I can do a long-term job, but there is one month left and I will start school..."

When he first said the first sentence, Ji Rui's heart beat fast. Slowly, his emotions calmed down, and he was finally able to express his inner thoughts smoothly: "I started school on September 17th. After school started, Military training is also needed."

Lu Yi interrupted him: "What you mean is that you are going to quit your job, right, Ji Rui, you are an adult. What you have done is legally binding, and I hope you still remember the contract you signed."

Lu Yi is not a sympathetic person. On the contrary, his subordinates have always felt that he has no human touch, and all like to follow the rules and regulations.

"Yes, I remember, I don't plan to lose this job, but under special circumstances, I want to ask for leave." Ji Rui knew that he was a little naive, but in any case, he always had to fight for himself.

He went on to say: "The school I want to go to is very close to here, and it only takes ten minutes to get there."

It takes about half an hour to walk, and he is already planning to buy a small electric donkey.

The art school is relatively loosely managed. Originally, university courses are not filled every day.

"I just wanted to say, can I postpone the lunch time for half an hour? Half an hour is enough. I asked the seniors and sisters of the school. In previous years, the military training only took ten days, so I would just take ten days off. !"

He actually planned it a long time ago, but the two people had not been together for a long time, and he was not sure that the other party would agree, but the employer would definitely be angry if he asked for leave temporarily.

Lu Yi looked at the young boy with a nervous look in front of him: "You are so sure, I will agree?"

Ji Rui didn't say a word, but looked at him silently.

Lu Yi sighed, and then said, "From the 15th of next month, you don't need to come over."

Ji Rui's expression seemed to have received a heavy blow to her heart.

Lu had a pause, and then finished his words: "Because next month, I will start school, and I will also participate in the military training of freshmen."

"Huh?" Ji Rui's expression instantly changed from uncomfortable pain to surprise, his eyes were wide open, a bit like a dazed hamster.

He knew that his employer was very young, but he didn't know that the other party was so young.

Realizing his gaffe, his face flushed suddenly: "I just didn't expect it."

"I never told you about this beforehand."

Lu Yi went to search for the courses of his new major, and the queue was really full. He wants to change his major, and he must have at least excellent grades in the first year. Fortunately, the school the other party has passed is considered a second-rate college, freshman. The course is more moist, and he is still very confident in his learning ability.

"The freshman year, I should be busy, but I will come back to live on weekends. If you want, in the first school year, you can do a part-time job on weekends."

He is not used to working in school, especially living in a dormitory, there will inevitably be friction. When he finishes the first school year, he will apply for withdrawal.

"I can!" Ji Rui didn't want to agree. For him now, this part-time job at Lu Yi is very important, not only for money, but also for other things.

But what else was it, he didn't dare to think deeply.

Lu Yi drafted a new contract.

For people with regular life patterns and clear goals, time flies very quickly. Because he didn't plan to spend his time on interpersonal communication in the university, Lu Yi was labelled as cold and unapproachable by the people in the class.

But this didn’t affect Lu Yi much, and it saved him a lot of trouble. For example, those roommates in the dormitory wouldn’t hang on to him. After several beautiful girls who pursued him were rejected one after another, others also did. Basically retreat.

Although the university is a small society, it is still purer than the real society. Lu Yi looks good and wears clothes. From the cost point of view, his family background does not seem to be bad. Although he is a little colder, his professional courses are excellent. Very pleased with the teacher.

Originally, there are many otakus in the major of it. The crowds of people who are withdrawn and uncommunicated have gone. People like Lu Yi, even if they don’t like to be close to others, don’t play games, and never play black with roommates, just rely on him. Zhang Lian, as long as he doesn't do anything superb, he won't be the target of bullying.

Without Lu Yi's knowledge, those little friends in his major chose him as the grade grass of his major. Of course, they just yelled from behind insultingly.

No way. Although Lu Yi is a peer, it feels like a big leader in the school. When he speaks, he is full of oppression. Who would dare to make a joke in front of Lu Yi.

In the blink of an eye, it was the winter vacation of the first year.

Because he was studying in another province, Lu Yi never went back even during the long vacation. With the body of the original owner, he will do his filial piety for the original owner, but he can't give more of other feelings.

This is the influence brought to him by his native family. Lu Yi has never been that kind of person with particularly strong feelings, and it can even be said that he is a bit too sensible. But he will certainly fulfill the obligations of the children that should be fulfilled.

The few days immediately after the exam was the peak period for students to return to school. Lu Yi didn’t want to be crowded with people. He also needed to consult with the procedures for transferring majors and leaving the accommodation. Fly back.

Of course, there is another reason why he doesn't want to stay at the original owner's house for a long time, that is, Zhao Wuchen.

Someone who can be the protagonist of a story has a little aura of the protagonist. In fact, after doing the math, they hadn't seen each other for four months. He didn't think that Zhao Wuchen was such a person who gave up so easily.

There is also the object that Zhao Wuchen single-mindedly pursued. He parted ways with the other party during the summer vacation. After that, he did not pay attention to the other party's situation, and did not know whether the other party succeeded in making an encounter with Bai Yueguang.

Zhao Wuchen is equal to the trouble of moving, and Lu Yi hates trouble.

But even if he didn't want to see Zhao Wuchen, Lu Yi still went home.

He explained the situation to Ji Rui in advance: "You don't use it these days, take a good rest, and take paid holidays during the New Year without deduction of wages."

Ji Rui smiled first: "Thank you boss, then." But soon she couldn't laugh again.

Lu Yi inevitably asked more: "You don't seem to be very happy?"

Ji Rui shook her head and nodded again, her voice a little dull: "I'm okay, I just miss my mother a bit."

His biological father came out of an orphanage, without any relatives, he was just a mother, and his grandfather and grandmother, but they were all abroad, and they still refused to accept him.

Whenever he misses relatives during the festive season, he didn't think about it when he spent the Chinese New Year with his mother, but seeing his classmates buy tickets early and go home beamingly, he missed his mother.

During this period of time, he spent a lot of time on Lu Yi's side almost every day, and if the employer didn't open his mouth to drive him away, he brazenly stayed as a guest.

Lu Yi’s residence is full of the gadgets he moved over, the succulents on the shelves, the beautiful green radish...

My mother also mentioned that he can go to the high-end community like the garden villa, where there will be servants to accompany him.

But he still didn't want to go. The bigger the house, the more lonely he felt, and it was not his home at all.

But now, Lu Yi has to leave too. In fact, he had known for a long time that the other party was going back to Lu Yi's own home, a place separated by most of China.

But Lu Yi didn't speak, he just pretended to be a fool to deceive himself. Now that the other party understands it, he feels sourness entangled in his heart, as if his heart is pierced by a sewing needle, and it is very uncomfortable.

Unlike Lu Yi's rationality, Ji Rui has always been a very emotional person. His emotions are naturally more delicate than most people, and he can naturally experience loneliness better.

Lu Yi fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he broke the silence with laughter: "Actually, you are very comfortable alone. Today is paid. I ask your boss to eat hot pot, how about it?"

Lu Yi still didn't respond. Okay, is he acting too embarrassing.

Before Ji Rui's smile disappeared completely, Lu Yi finally spoke: "I said, if there is no one to accompany you during the New Year, do you want to consider going back with me."

The feeling Ji Rui gave him was actually a bit similar to his former fiance Fang Chuan, but if you continue to get along, you will be able to realize the difference between each other.

It can only be said that the person is as his name suggests, Ji Rui is like his name, as weak and slender as a new-born grass, but tough, and can be revived even after heavy wind and rain.

He is a good boy with a sense of responsibility and a kind heart. At this point, he was much stronger than Fang Chuan.

Moreover, Ji Rui is only eighteen years old now. Seeing the other side being so careful, he couldn't help but reflect on whether he was too fierce and just a child after all.

In fact, inviting the other party to be a guest is just a matter of thought.

When hearing what Lu said, Ji Rui couldn't believe her ears. His gray eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?!"

"I will tell my family in advance that I will take my friends back as a guest. If you are sure you want to go, you'd better book tickets now. Also, the round-trip tickets are at your own expense."

"I'm sure, I'm sure at my own expense, I'm rich!" The tuition is paid once a year. He does a part-time job, as long as he saves some flowers, he will definitely be enough, and he doesn't have the face to take advantage of Lu Yi.

When it came to the end, his voice was a little bit crying.

No...I made the child cry, Lu Yi's heart chuckled, and said, "I don't mean to make you have to go. If you feel embarrassed, you don't have to go."

"That's not the case!" Ji Rui quickly retorted, "I'm just... I'm just so happy..."

Even though he knew that as a boy, he shouldn't cry, and by all accounts, he had cried twice in front of Lu Yi, as if it was useless, but... just really couldn't help it.

"I'm just happy. I thought I was going to celebrate the New Year alone this year. I'm really happy that you can invite me." Because of the excitement, Ji Rui was a little bit incoherent, for fear that Lu Yi would withdraw the invitation.

Lu Yi also saw that he was really happy, and he reached out and patted the child's hair: "Then quickly wipe your tears, clean up, and go out to eat hot pot."

This is the first time for two people to go out for dinner in half a year.

Ji Rui quickly adjusted his mood, and the two went out for a steaming hot pot. This was his happiest day for the past six months.

Although they have been together for more than half a year, they are more familiar with each other than before, but they are not yet familiar with them. In the evening, Ji Rui still went back to live with him.

The quilt was cold, and there was no light waiting for him in the room, but Ji Rui still felt very warm.

That night, he had an unspeakable dream. The object of the dream was his young employer!

When he woke up from his dream, Ji Rui's face turned red. In the middle of the night, he turned on the heating and scrubbed and dried the bedsheets that he had soiled.

After finishing that dream, he finally understood the reason why he didn't dare to think deeply. Because of character problems, he didn't want to pick out his mind immediately.

Because he still doesn't know whether Lu Yi likes men or women. If he likes women, he should bury his feelings in his heart.

If, if the other person likes men, he might try hard. At present, he is very satisfied to be able to maintain such a relationship.

Lu Yi didn't even know a dream that made Ji Rui think so much. After experiencing Fang Chuan and Yu Ke, he felt that he didn't have any special feelings for falling in love.

To be more precise, he always felt as if he had had more than one traumatic relationship, and he was a bit unable to lift his energy.

But there are indeed only Fang Chuan and Yu Ke in his memory, and the only person he has some good impressions about is Ji Rui.

But Ji Rui is too young. He likes to talk about feelings with adults who have their own thoughts and can be completely independent, because they are both rational enough. He could also see that the other party had a good opinion of him, as long as he wanted to, it was not difficult to eat Ji Rui to death.

But this will give him a feeling of bullying a child, so wait until the other person is older and mature.

Regarding the matter of bringing his friends home, Lu Yi told Mother Lu in advance. He didn't make the situation too clear. He said that the other party was a friend and classmate. His mother was abroad and there was only one person during the Chinese New Year.

Lu's father and Lu's mother are all kind of more enthusiastic people. After listening to him say that, there will be no words of refusal, and instead they tell Lu Yiduo to take care of others.

After all, Lu Yi is the elder brother at home, and has always taken good care of the neighbor’s child Zhao Wuchen, giving the parents a very stable and reliable image.

In a small city, you can’t hide anything from your neighbors and neighbors.

According to previous years, Lu Yi should have returned long ago, but this time, Zhao Wuchen did not see Lu Yi. He was murmured in his heart, a little worried whether he had changed too much from rebirth, and he was always paying attention to Lu Yi's situation.

His external appearance is still very good, and he learned the date of Lu Yi's return from Lu Yi's mother smoothly.

He woke up very early that day, waiting early in the morning, pretending to be in the yard for morning exercises.

When he saw Lu Yi, he was stunned: Is this still the Lu Yi in his memory? What's going on, in just one semester's work, Lu Yi felt like he was reborn, his face was still the same, but it was completely like two people.

In addition to Lu's big change, another person also shocked him.

He heard from Lu's mother that Lu Yi would bring a classmate to celebrate the New Year this time, but he didn't know the name of the classmate.

After hearing that it was a male classmate, a sense of crisis rose in his heart. Lu Yi hasn't come out yet, and his family doesn't know his sexuality, but he, Lu Yi's ex-boyfriend, knows it all.

But after Lu Yi came in, he looked back, and he actually saw Ji Rui, the senior he was thinking of.

Zhao Wuchen couldn't believe his eyes. Who could tell him what was going on? !
