Yesterday

It was another Friday, Xu Yanqing finished his work and came out of the coffee shop.He was a little thirsty, so he went to the vending machine to buy a drink before waiting for the car.

He threw the coin in and heard a bang, just as he was about to bend over to take it, he took out the bottle of soda water one step ahead of him with one hand and handed it to him.Xu Yanqing looked at Qin Yu who was a step away in surprise.

"Why do you—" You're here... He was full of doubts, but he didn't know what position he should take to talk to Qin Yu.He was no longer his senior, perhaps not even a friend.

Same as last week, Qin Yu didn't say a word, but held the drink stubbornly, Xu Yanqing took it, and he said, "Go home?"

"Well, get ready to go to the station."

"I'll see you off." Qin Yu's words were short and forceful. Before Xu Yanqing could answer, he turned his head and walked forward. After taking two steps, he stood still and waited for him. It seemed that he would wait there forever if he didn't follow up.

On the way to the parking lot, Xu Yanqing and Qin Yu walked side by side.He had never seen Qin Yu who was so silent. If the other party hadn't insisted on taking him home just now, he would have thought they were strangers.

Qin Yu was driving his own car today. He heard from Manager Liu that Xu Yanqing played the piano here every weekend, and he came here after get off work by a strange coincidence.He didn't go in, but only saw the figure of the man through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

There were few cars in the evening, so Qin Yu didn't drive slowly. He drove towards the address that Xu Yanqing had told him, without saying a word all the way.When entering the village in the city, Xu Yanqing asked him to stop at a certain alley.

"Thank you." Xu Yanqing got out of the car, met a pair of ink-like pupils, and hesitated a little before closing the car door.

"Go back early." Qin Yu said to him.

Xu Yanqing left.Qin Yu watched him enter the second building on the south side of the alley.The transparent drink bottle lay quietly on the passenger seat. It was the drink he hadn't finished, and he forgot to take it out of the car.

Xu Yanqing liked to drink this kind of drink from before.

When Qin Yu was registering for the university, he was carrying a big bag and a small bag, but the other party stuffed a bottle of soda into his arms, and then he showed a smile that must be stupid when he thinks about it later.He doesn't like to laugh, but every time he sees Xu Yanqing, he is really happy.

"Senior, are you... are you welcoming new students?" Qin Yu found himself asking nonsense.

Xu Yanqing is from the School of Journalism, while he is from the School of Management. The orientation areas of the two schools are next to each other.Seeing the rows of tables and chairs, he wanted to know the reason why Xu Yanqing appeared here.

"What's new, I'm here to welcome you!" Xu Yanqing said it as a matter of course, before Qin Yu's face turned into cooked shrimp shells, "I'm just kidding."

Seeing that Qin Yu was alone, he asked, "Your parents didn't come?"

Qin Yu said proudly, "I wanted to come by myself, and I didn't ask them to send it off."

Qin Yu went to school early, and was not yet eighteen when he entered the university. He had a childish face, but he was the only freshman from other places who registered alone in the college.

"You're promising, little guy." Xu Yanqing pinched his face lightly, and Qin Yu curled his lips uncomfortably.

"Yanqing, are you an acquaintance?" a senior senior in charge of the school management asked.

"Ah, we are fellow villagers, or alumni," said Qin Yu as he pulled the suitcase in Qin Yu's hand, "I'll take care of this junior!"

"Pfft—" A boy next to the person in charge laughed and said, "Don't scare people."

Qin Yu wasn't bothered by Xu Yanqing's words, he wished Xu Yanqing would take him to the dormitory, but he felt that the senior was so popular that he knew people from different colleges.

"All right, let's go, just don't kidnap people." The person in charge answered.

In fact, Xu Yanqing had just brought Qin Yu to the dormitory that day when he was called away by a phone call.

The roommates haven't arrived yet, so Qin Yu tidies up the bed and the dormitory by himself.Later, he tasted the bottle of drink that Xu Yanqing gave him. It was colorless, odorless, but steamy and bubbling, not very tasty.Qin Yu still drank it gulply, he didn't know if the drink was bubbling or his own heart was bubbling.
