messed up

Chapter 22

"Indeed." Xu Baiyu lowered his head, not daring to look at Yu Jing's expression: "There are too many patients like this."

The room suddenly fell into silence, and the two people sitting on the sofa had their own thoughts: one had thoughts that were so heavy that it was difficult to express them, and the other was unable to open their mouths after thousands of thoughts.

"Actually, the so-called fate and life are like this a lot of the time." After thinking for a while, Xu Baiyu finally came up with a few words of consolation: "It won't tell us where we went wrong, and we won't tell you anything. I can't figure it out, but when the result hits me and I look back, I feel that every step is full of regret." He looked at this person, and said in the most gentle tone of his life: "Yu Jing, manpower is limited."

Hearing this, Yu Jing suddenly turned to look at him.It was only then that Xu Baiyu realized that the two of them were so close that he could even clearly feel each other's breathing, and he could also see each other's eyebrows through the lens.

Yu Jing smiled at him: "Xiao Xu, thank you."

"Thank you?" Xu Baiyu also smiled, and shook his head slightly: "You are too polite."

The two sat for a while, and it was indeed getting late.Yu Jing stood up, leaned over and patted Xu Baiyu's shoulder: "I'm leaving first, you have a good rest."

"Wait." Xu Baiyu wanted to grab Yu Jing's arm, but the man walked a little too fast, Xu Baiyu missed one of them, and his hand slipped into the palm of the man's.

Xu Baiyu's mind went blank for a moment when the soft and cool touch came from his fingertips, and then he hurriedly let go of his hand like an electric shock, and a thin layer of sweat immediately broke out on his hand.He didn't know whether his face was red or not, but what he was sure of was that the temperature on his face was rising out of control.

He hurried over to open the door, and stood outside the door himself.Although it wasn't cold in the corridor, it was much cooler than the house, enough to slow down Xu Baiyu's heartbeat.

Yu Jing looked at Xu Baiyu for a while, and asked tentatively, "Do you have something to tell me?"

"No." Xu Baiyu immediately denied it categorically: "It's getting late, you should go back quickly, and be careful on the way."

Yu Jing wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing Xu Baiyu's appearance at this time, he felt that this person probably didn't want to talk anymore.He nodded, and when he walked to the door, he deliberately moved closer, hugged the other party vaguely, and said in a deep voice: "Go to bed early."

"Hey." Xu Baiyu hurriedly responded, and quickly slipped into the room.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the taste of the new year is getting stronger, and it will be the Laba Festival in a few days.Xu Baiyu happened to be off that day, and under the repeated nagging of his old lady, he took the bus again and went to the house where he grew up.

As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the aroma from the kitchen.Wearing an apron and holding a spatula, Xu Yuan opened the door for him, smiling broadly, not caring about the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes: "Baiyu, it's Laba today, and your grandma has cooked a big table."

Xu Baiyu leaned over to look into the room, and it turned out that he was not the only one who came today, his little uncle, Mr. Yao, was sitting on the sofa chatting with his uncle, and his aunt and his second aunt were whispering about women's affairs in the old lady's house. Speaking privately, apart from the old lady and his second uncle who has been a professional chef for 30 years, he is busy in the kitchen.He suddenly felt a little dumbfounded: since he was an undergraduate, he never came to family gatherings where Xu Jianye participated.Although the old lady is old, she still has good ears and eyes, so she naturally knew what he meant. She probably called Xu Jianye a few days ago and told him not to come over on Laba day.

Xu Baiyu calmed down and greeted the elders one by one with an obedient smile.He felt bored in the living room any longer, and wanted to go to his former room to be alone, but when he was about to open the door and go in, he was stopped by Xu Yuan.

"Huanhuan is studying in there. It's the weekend and the school is on holiday." Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Baiyu, do my sister a favor. If your sister has any questions that she doesn't know, please tell her."

"Sister-in-law, you are too polite," Xu Baiyu replied with a smile, "Don't worry, you should."

Hearing what he said, Xu Yuan left in peace.Xu Baiyu thought about it, and felt that the little girl Yao Huan in his memory was at least relatively quiet, staying aside without making noise, unlike his elders who talked almost non-stop.So he opened the door without hesitation and walked in.

However, he regretted it as soon as he entered: Yao Huan was immersed in a pile of colorful tutoring materials, and looked up when he heard the door knocking. The little girl was very pleasantly surprised: "Brother Bai Yu? Long time no see."

"Hmm." Xu Baiyu waved his hand at her as a greeting, then lay down on the bed and started playing with his phone.

"Brother, you came just in time. Show me how to do these questions." As soon as Xu Baiyu opened the lock screen, Yao Huan came up to him and put an open copy of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" on Xu Baiyu's door. On the head: "Hurry up, hurry up, I have been depressed for a long time."

Xu Baiyu only felt that his face was heavy.He threw the phone aside, picked up the tutorial book again, deliberately teased her, and said helplessly, "High school mathematics, I haven't read it for almost ten years, and I don't know how to do it."

"Oh, you can do it." Yao Huan was in a hurry, pushing him back and forth: "Brother, take a look."

Xu Baiyu was a little depressed: This girl was taciturn when she was a child, and she would only hide behind Xu Yuan when she went out, and she was timid even calling "Brother", how did she become like this now?He had no choice but to pick up the book again and asked casually: "Which question?"

"The ones I circled." Yao Huan replied.

Xu Baiyu glanced at those questions on derivatives and conic sections, pointed to the man's neat handwriting and asked, "Didn't you do all of this?"

"Although I have solved the answer, I think my approach may not be optimal, especially the last question." Yao Huan explained: "Please help me to see if there is any other solution, or if there is any mistake."

Xu Baiyu sat up and looked back and forth, and found that the questions circled by this girl were a bit too much.For a moment, he suddenly understood the feelings of the middle-aged doctors in the department when they were free to help children with their homework.He sighed: "Why don't you read the answer?"

Yao Huan was rather dissatisfied when it came to this matter: "Our teacher has collected all the answers and said that we will post them together during the winter vacation."

Just as Xu Baiyu wanted to ask you why you didn't check online, he remembered that this kid was in his third year of high school, and according to his sister-in-law and uncle's temper, he probably had already disconnected from the Internet.

Xu Baiyu helped her read the two questions, and felt that he would not be able to finish the lecture even if he didn't eat at noon.So he leaned forward and took the phone, wanting to send some of the questions to Yu Jing, and said while taking pictures: "There are too many questions, I'll find a foreign aid."

"Foreign aid?" Yao Huan was very keen to catch a hint of a half-smile from Xu Baiyu's expression. Relying on the girl's sixth sense, she quickly pressed Xu Baiyu's hand and looked at him gossipingly: "Is it sister-in-law?"

"What sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense." Xu Baiyu couldn't laugh or cry, and put the chat interface in front of her: "A man."

Yao Huan fell silent suddenly, so Xu Baiyu ignored her and lowered his head to concentrate on solving the problem.After a while, he wanted to move his cervical spine, but when he looked up, he met Yao Huan's gaze.

Xu Baiyu was so stared at, that his skin got goosebumps instantly.He put down his pen and looked at Yao Huan helplessly: "What are you doing?"

"Brother, it's just us and no one else in this room. Don't worry, if you don't want to, I will never say anything." Yao Huan stared at him: "I just want to know, do you like that person?"

Yao Huan's words had such an impact on Xu Baiyu that there was only one thought left in his mind for a moment: It's good to be young, and to be able to live so unscrupulously.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he recalled what Yao Huan asked him just now: She was asking, do you like Yu Jing?

yeah, do i like him?Xu Baiyu cleared his throat, feeling a little at a loss.He had never actively considered this issue before, and even avoided it instinctively, but within a few words of Yao Huan, all the high walls he had subconsciously built around him for countless years collapsed: he stood alone. On the wasteland, looking at his own intentions from a distance.

It turns out that in many cases, the most difficult thing to face is not others, but yourself.

"Okay bro, you don't need to say it." Yao Huan lowered his voice: "It's just your reaction, it's a ghost if you don't like it."

"Nonsense." Up until now, Xu Baiyu still instinctively wanted to deny it: "I like women, and I used to have girlfriends."

Yao Huan sighed resentfully: "Brother, I guess you haven't done anything yet." She didn't expect Xu Baiyu to give her an answer, and then said: "There is another kind of person in this world, both men and women like it." How do you know he doesn't like you if you don't try? Maybe he is testing you, otherwise why did he reply your message so quickly?"

Hearing this, Xu Baiyu hurriedly took the phone over and took a look: I saw that Yu Jing had already done two of the questions he sent, and they took photos and sent them to him.

Xu Baiyu zoomed in on the picture, only to realize that this person's handwriting was pretty good.

He picked up a pen and tapped Yao Huan on the head, trying his best to save his face in front of minors, and said solemnly: "Young boy, what are you thinking about all day long?"

"Brother, don't worry, I haven't been thinking about this all the time." Yao Huan also suddenly became serious: "I am at this age, I don't think about anything else, I just want to win, but I hope you can be happy." She stretched out her hand and poked Poke Xu Baiyu's arm: "Tell me, you like him so much, you can't hide your smile when you mention him. If you miss this, will you regret it in the future?"

miss?Xu Baiyu had never thought of this word before, and at this moment he couldn't help thinking: If Yu Jing suddenly disappeared from his life, or one day in the future, that person will go to talk about marriage with someone else and give him a wedding banquet What will happen to him?

Most likely, the heart is broken, and the soul is lost.Thinking like this, he wanted to come up with all the negative words.

"Brother Bai Yu, are you okay?" Yao Huan panicked a little, and quickly pushed Xu Baiyu: "I'm just talking casually, don't take it to heart."

Xu Baiyu came back to his senses, and found that his hands were tightly clutching the bed sheet, and his veins were exposed.

He let go of his hand and looked at Yao Huan, and suddenly felt a little more stable in his heart. It was the first time he felt this way since he met Yu Jing at the end of September last year.Xu Baiyu heard himself say: "Huanhuan, if brother can really be with him, I will treat you to dinner."

"I don't need to eat, I still have to lose weight, skinny beauty is popular now." Hearing what Xu Baiyu said, Yao Huan laughed a few times, and reached out to snatch Xu Baiyu's phone: "Let me see the solution sent by my sister-in-law. Oh my god, my sister-in-law is really good at writing, what major does he study?"

"Stop messing around, and if you lose weight, you'll become a monkey." After finishing speaking, Xu Baiyu made a silent gesture for her, and said in a low voice, "He's a computer student. He hasn't written his horoscope yet, so don't call him sister-in-law. "
