The correct posture to conquer rogues

Looking at him, he said calmly: "My mother knows."

Xia Man didn't speak for a long time, and the expression on his face was a rare panic. He couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or sorry, and he waited for Xia Man to recover by himself.

Xia Man thumped his thigh: "I'm actually one step behind you, I..."

"Don't be impulsive, this is not a good thing, my mother knows that there is nothing I can do about it." Ye Chaochuan put his hand to his mouth and let out a sigh.

Xia Man stared and asked, "Does Auntie know it's me?"

Ye Chaochuan smiled bleakly: "She knew it before I did. Although she said she would not interfere with me, you'd better not come to my house."

Otherwise, Ye Qing would look sad, and Xia Man would also feel uncomfortable.

"No, I have to go." Xia Man said suddenly, his eyes were extremely serious, "Whether it's to accompany the crime or to pay New Year's greetings, I will go sooner or later."

Ye Chaochuan was so anxious that he thumped his shoulder twice: "No, if you go, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to bear it, and even your family will know about it."

Xia Man smiled: "That's just right."

Ye Chaochuan was so anxious that his chest felt hot and his eyes were sore, he just said "no no no" over and over again.

"Actually, I've always been worried," Xia Man watched as the few people who got off the train left, and quickly shook his hand, "I don't know what the two of us are, Xiao Chuan, don't be angry , I really hope that others will know, so that you can't escape..."

Ye Chaochuan was stunned for a moment, Xia Man's eyes were a little moist, with a little soft light, his heart palpitations and bitterness, he bit his lips, and smiled: "What are you worried about, I also... like you so much."

After saying this, Ye Chaochuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he should have told Xia Man a long time ago, when they reunited a year ago, when he came to pick him up who was drunk, when he was braving the cold wind in the middle of the night When he gave him hot pot, when he asked for leave to comfort him who failed the opening question, he should have said it long ago.

Xia Man's hand holding him was surprisingly strong, causing his bones to ache. Then Xia Man quickly wiped his eyes, jumped on the ground twice, and yelled twice.

Ye Chaochuan smiled lightly and burst into tears.

☆、Meet your mother-in-law during Chinese New Year

When Ye Chaochuan returned home, Ye Qing treated him very warmly. The cold war between the two of them last year was like a dream, but they were very careful in what they said. Ye Qing didn't deliberately ask him, and he didn't mention it.

Shen Tuo came to stay for a few days and then left, so when Xia Man sent him a text message saying he was coming on the fifth day of the lunar new year, besides being nervous, he was also a little lucky, so Xia Man knocked on the door of his house an hour later .

He had been waiting in the living room to open the door for Xia Man, and he stood up from the sofa as soon as the door slammed.

Ye Qing glanced at him, and he was a little flustered immediately. He thought it was better to tell Ye Qing first, so as not to be too sudden and too exciting: "Yes... Xia Man is here."

Ye Qing snorted, turned her face away and sat upright.

Ye Chaochuan was beating his heart, went to open the door, and it was indeed Xia Man standing outside, carrying a lot of things in his hands, with a serious expression on his face, but he relaxed a little when he saw that it was him who opened the door.

The two of them made eye contact, which seemed to be a bit of a common adversity.

"Auntie, Happy New Year." As soon as Xia Man entered the door, he walked up to Ye Qing with a smile all over his face.

Ye Qing stood up with a smile on her face: "Yo, Xiao Man, happy Chinese New Year." She stepped aside, "It's cold outside, sit down."

"Hey." Xia Man sat down obediently, and piled the things in his hand on the coffee table.

"It's really old, I already know how to buy things when I come here, so I know how to eat." Ye Qing smiled, picked up things and looked at them.

"Tsk." Ye Chaochuan couldn't help making a sound beside him.

"What are you tsk, you bought it for me." Ye Qing glanced at him with anger and resentment.

"Yes, they are all for my aunt. I have a student who is Korean. I asked her to bring Korean ginseng as well as cosmetics. She said that Korean ginseng is good for beauty and anti-aging, but my aunt has always been so young. After eating it, my eyes will be doubled." Insurance." Xia Man said a long series of words in one breath, which sounded like a draft that had been typed a long time ago.

"Hahaha" Ye Qing was amused by him and laughed, "You wait."

Ye Qing went into her room, took out a red envelope and handed it to Xia Man: "Okay, you have already paid New Year's greetings to auntie, so you can take the red envelope."

Xia Man didn't answer, and suddenly knelt down on the ground, startling both Ye Qing and Ye Chaochuan.

"What are you doing kid?" Ye Qing pulled his shoulder, but didn't.

Xia Man said in a serious manner: "You have to kowtow if you take the elder's red envelope."

Ye Qing shouted at Ye Chaochuan: "Pull him up quickly." Ye Chaochuan was also panicked, and hurried over to pull him up.

Xia Man took advantage of his hand and frightened Ye Chaochuan to the point where he couldn't move, and the smile on Ye Qing's face also disappeared.

Xia Man turned to Ye Qing and said: "Auntie, you have watched how Xiao Chuan and I grew up. I have always liked him. You must know your son. Xiao Chuan looks cold but his heart is very soft. I just He’s so bad, he’s been pestering him for so many years, if you want to beat him or scold him, I’ll accept it, it’s the same, I don’t regret it, and I can’t change my attitude toward Xiao Chuan.”

Ye Chaochuan stood aside, one hand was still held by Xia Man, and the other hand silently wiped his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

Ye Qing had never seen her son cry like this before, she sighed, and looked down at Xia Man: "Okay, get up."

The three of them sat silently for a while, Ye Qing cleared her throat: "Xiao Man, since you are here, let me tell you, I promised Xiao Chuan not to interfere with him, that's because he is my son, I hope he is well, I was very moved by what you said just now, but the ugly words are ahead, if you two have conflicts in the future, Xiao Chuan will not be with you, and I will not interfere either."

Xia Man paused, then nodded, and said in a low voice, "Auntie, aren't you cursing me?"

Ye Qing patted him on the back: "It deserves it, I really liked you, who knew you were trying to abduct my son."

Hearing this, Xia Man also smiled awkwardly, and looked at Ye Chaochuan next to him.

Ye Chaochuan had never left Xia Man's eyes since just now, when the two met, Xia Man saw the unusual affection in his moist eyes, and was stunned for a moment.

The two looked at each other affectionately, and Ye Qing let out a "cough", which was no longer called a dry cough, but a cry of displeasure.

"Xiao Man, there is one more thing Auntie wants to ask, what do you do now?" Ye Qing asked.

Xia Man closed his mouth, his face flushed a little.

Ye Qing waved her hand: "I'm not being hypocritical, you were kids when you were in high school, it's okay if you don't like studying and fighting, so I encourage Xiao Chuan to make friends with you, but now you are all adults... "

"Well, Auntie, I understand," Xia Man interrupted Ye Qing, "I've always been a mess. In high school, thanks to Xiao Chuan, I often helped me with my homework. I went to a sports school, and now I work as a coach in a fitness club. Teach people aerobics, self-defense, etc., I have passed the driver's license test by myself, and I also work part-time as a tour guide in a travel agency."

"Okay, better than Xiao Chuan." Ye Qing clapped her hands.

Only then did Xia Man feel relieved. He was afraid that Ye Qing would think that he was not good at studying and had a low education. When Ye Qing said that he was "better than Xiao Chuan", he couldn't help but replied: "How can that be, Xiao Chuan looks good. , soft-hearted, good at studying, and delicious cooking, no one is better than him."

Ye Chaochuan turned to look at him, and smiled slightly.

Ye Qing patted her chest: "You two go out and play, I won't keep you for dinner."

"Then..." Ye Chaochuan hesitated, "What should you do, there is no leftover."

Ye Qing rolled his eyes at him: "I have money and legs and I won't starve to death."

Ye Chaochuan nodded, went to his bedroom to tidy up, then took out two scarves, one for himself and the other for Xia Man.Seeing that they were ready to go out like a couple, Ye Qing called out: "Wait."

Ye Chaochuan turned around, Ye Qing walked up to him, held his face in her hands and kissed him on the nose.

Xia Man opened his mouth and almost screamed out, that was his son and his mother, if he really wanted to show something, he probably would have nothing to do with him immediately.

Taking advantage of no one in the corridor, Xia Man took Ye Chaochuan's hand, Ye Chaochuan didn't struggle, Xia Man said with emotion: "Hey, why don't I go to the temple to fulfill my wish."

"Shouldn't you believe in Guan Gong? Have you converted to Buddhism?" Ye Chaochuan understood what he meant, and his mood was also very happy.

Xia Man didn't stop walking, turned around and glanced at him with a smile on his face, the light inside finally reappeared, not like it was depressed before.

When he was about to go out of the building, Ye Chaochuan shook his hand, Xia Man immediately understood, rubbed him hard before letting go.

Xia Man didn't pick up the car and walked straight ahead. Ye Chaochuan asked, "You didn't come by bike today?"

"Well, I've brought too many things, so I'm not afraid of touching them." Xia Man jumped up and down a few times, "Hey, I'm very energetic now, and I can walk to the pedestrian street without any problem."

Ye Chaochuan thought for a while: "Then let's go."

"Really?" Xia Man bumped him with his arm, and squeezed his eyes, "Hey, I feel like you've changed, did I move you because of my great performance today?"

Ye Chaochuan was silent for a while, indeed, Xia Man surprised him so much today, he almost forgot that this person is a bastard and a hooligan: "Why did you suddenly say this to my mother today, I wasn't even prepared."

"I didn't even think about it, I just wondered whether I would fight back if I was beaten or scolded today." Xia Man saw that the scarf around his neck was loose, raised his hand to tuck him in, and smiled at him again, "To be honest, I I was ready for my aunt to knock me out with a big stick when she opened the door, but you were the one who opened the door."

Ye Chaochuan buried his face in the scarf, he just felt that no matter what Xia Man said or did now, he felt good, his heart was really soft and warm.

"At that time, I had a premonition that something good would happen today. When I saw that my auntie had a good attitude and wanted to give me a red envelope, I suddenly couldn't hold back. I was going to risk it all, as long as she gave you to me." The person who said this At that time, Xia Man secretly held Ye Chaochuan's hand in his pocket.

Ye Chaochuan retracted his hand, turned to look at Xia Man, Xia Man also turned to look at him, the atmosphere was suddenly strange.

They both turned their eyes a little embarrassedly, and after a moment of silence, Ye Chaochuan asked, "Have you seen Dazi?"

"Hey, Da Zi is really good. He is planning to marry Xiao Jin next year. This year, he went to visit his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. He didn't come back for the New Year." Xia Man said that he was quite happy.

"Oh?" Ye Chaochuan felt scared when he thought of that girl named Xiao Jin, why is that girl's eyes so poisonous, and now she is going to marry Xia Man's best buddy, Dazi, "Dazi...knows you..."

"Well, I told him," Xia Man replied casually, afraid that Ye Chaochuan would think too much, so he immediately added, "Da Zi and Xiao Jin are very sticky, we must know sooner or later, why don't I tell him what he should say sooner?" I'm not buddy enough."

The two of them were in a dazed mood, and they walked fast. After walking for nearly an hour, they really came to the pedestrian street.

"Hey, we are both grown up, and I'm a little embarrassed to come here." Xia Man looked at the Electric City, which he loved the most, and suddenly became amused, "Should we play video games or watch movies? eat?"

Ye Chaochuan seemed to have just realized that they didn't have a clear destination when they walked all the way.

"Why don't you go to the bookstore with me?" He said to Xia Man, there is a bookstore nearby that he often visits.

"Success." Xia Man agreed indifferently.

I haven’t been here for several years. The bookstore has been renovated. There are booths in the middle of the open space, with trial books on display, and comfortable-looking chairs next to it. There is a shiny small blackboard next to the stairs leading to the second floor. It means that drinks and snacks are provided upstairs, and you can bring books to read.

They went directly to the second floor. The windows were floor-to-ceiling, and there were seats next to the windows. The people on the seats talked softly.Ye Chaochuan was wandering among the bookshelves, and Xia Man followed him around in a bored way.

He turned his face, saw Xia Xiaoyue and Xu Jingya, and wondered if the twins really had telepathy, usually Xia Xiaoyue would follow them shamelessly, but this time Xia Xiaoyue came to the bookstore once in a hundred years to meet them.

"Hey!" Ye Chaochuan called out.

Xia Xiaoyue also saw him, turned her eyes to see Xia Man, her face was very ugly, she pulled Xu Jingya and turned around to leave, Xu Jingya was a little surprised just like Ye Chaochuan.

Ye Chaochuan turned to look at Xia Man: "Are you and Xia Xiaoyue fighting again?"

Xia Man looked at Xia Xiaoyue's leaving back and his expression was not very good. He wiped his face and said to Ye Chaochuan: "I didn't want to tell you, but I also told my family."

☆、Don’t mess around with other people’s weddings

Ye Chaochuan looked at Xia Man in disbelief, his throat was congested, and he tried to lower his voice: "Don't be impulsive!"

Xia Man still smiled, didn't say a word, took out his mobile phone and typed for a while, then winked at him.

He didn't understand at first, the phone in his pocket vibrated twice, he took it out to have a look, and Xia Man sent him a text message: "I am after you, I am willing."

Ye Chaochuan looked at the text message but said nothing, he thought he should delete it but he was a bit reluctant.

They had dinner nearby after they came out of the bookstore, there was no gag between Dazi and Xia Xiaoyue, the atmosphere surrounding them today was always weird, a restless and crooked.

At night, there were so many people on the pedestrian street that it was unreasonable, and they walked back all the way.

"You look like a soft persimmon today. I can squeeze it anyway." Xia Man put his hand into Ye Chaochuan's coat pocket again. As soon as he let go, Ye Chaochuan held it.

Ye Chaochuan didn't say anything, Xia Man squinted at him, leaned up to him and said in a low voice, "Why don't you take the last step?"

Xia Man was almost kicked in the street.

Since being ignored by Xia Xiaoyue, Ye Chaochuan never heard Xia Man talk about how his family reacted or treated him.

It was already the end of February when the annual leave was taken, and others might not feel it, but Ye Chaochuan was extremely nervous about his graduation.

As Xiong Kan said, graduation thesis is torture, and being scolded by old man Cui pointing his nose every day is torture.No matter how late he was busy at night, he would go back to Xiaman's place to sleep. Sometimes he didn't return until one or two o'clock in the morning, and Xiaman would come to pick him up in the yard.

This day passed very slowly, but when I thought about graduating one day and one day closer, I wished I could split one day into eight days.

The day before the thesis was submitted for review, Ye Chaochuan stayed up all night, and Xia Man stayed in his office all night with him.The next day he went to three more places to hand over the paper to the reviewers himself.

The two months of waiting for the defense were finally easier, but other students seemed to have more time than him, and they had already started preparing for various exams and job hunting.Therefore, he started looking for a job without stopping.

He has been in the campus all the time, and he has never left even mentally. He really doesn't know if he doesn't enter the society, and he is shocked when he enters the society.

The recruitment requirements of his favorite unit were not high, so he submitted his resume happily, but got no reply for a long time.He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, but he cast a wide net for all positions related to his major, and finally got a few interview notices.

Xia Man dragged him to buy a formal suit. An ordinary suit cost close to [-] yuan, which was nothing to him, but the clothes he wore made him feel uncomfortable, let alone the investment and no output. .

Most of the people who interviewed him were around his age, well-dressed, with good speech skills, and even the expressions on their faces were just right, with well-trained calmness and superiority.

The recruitment conditions are clearly stated and those with experience are preferred. Although he has no experience, he is easy-going and says that it doesn't matter. Ask him about his school experience, and he will answer every question. Ye Chaochuan himself feels that he has no persuasiveness and Competitiveness, you can only bite the bullet and last until the end of the interview.

If it's a weekend, Xia Man will accompany him, often waiting for an hour or two in the nearby fast food restaurant and cold drink shop, and when he comes out, he always shakes his head sullenly.

Xia Man didn't dare to say too serious words to him. He listened to him talk about the interview process and bit his teeth: "Hey, you are too honest, can't you make up lies?"

Ye Chaochuan shook his head: "I really don't have any experience. It's easy to make up a name, but not to make up the details. Is it possible to create something out of nothing?"

Xia Man did not know where to find a few resumes, and inquired about some interview experiences from those who called themselves "face tyrants", all of which should be used as reference for him. Xia Man pointed to the content of other people's resumes, and you followed This said, just thinking that this is something you have done.

After repeated setbacks, Xia Man's proposal really moved him, but he always felt guilty, and Xia Man was not afraid of troublesome people to invite the owner of the resume out for dinner and let them explain in detail.

Needless to say, he had the cheek to use it in the subsequent interviews, and sometimes he succeeded once or twice, but it was a pity that he didn't like the unit he liked.

There was a big event in May, Zhang Mingda got married.

Xia Man didn't expect that Ye Chaochuan would want to go. He was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable meeting Xia Xiaoyue, but he couldn't bear to refuse, so the two of them went back to Xia Man's alma mater together two days before the May Day holiday.

Xiao Jin's parents probably had some relationship, and kept both Zhang Mingda and Xiao Jin as teaching assistants, and now they live in the school's teachers' dormitory.

The wedding banquet was scheduled for May [-]nd, and Xiaojin went back to her home ahead of schedule, so the young couple could not see each other.

"Oh, you two really scare me," Zhang Mingda glanced back and forth between the two of them through his drunkenness, "We're both buddies, I don't know whether to congratulate or... tsk—" He looked up He took another gulp down his neck, probably because he wanted to be a little more drunk before he had the courage to continue talking.

"Do you really want to add the second half? I don't think I heard it." Although Xia Man is always in good spirits on happy occasions, he is not as good as Zhang Mingda, and he is still sober at the moment.

Ye Chaochuan didn't drink much at first, but when he heard them mention this matter, he frowned and said nothing.

Zhang Mingda gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Man, I really admire you," he turned around and patted Ye Chaochuan on the shoulder, "Chaochuan, only you can cure him, okay, you two live a good life, buddy? It can be said."

Xia Man twisted his hand and let go of Ye Chaochuan's shoulder: "Hey, you don't know if you're too drunk to be sure, don't touch your hands."

Zhang Mingda sneered for a long time, and slapped his thigh straight: "Hey, why didn't I see it long ago, what a lifesaver, you have long been holding back Chaochuan, look at how protective you are, You don't even want to be my best man, are you trying to hide from Chen Dan?"

Xia Man wished Zhang Mingda could hold the dish in his mouth so that he wouldn't be able to talk when he was drunk. Fortunately, today it was just the three of them, spending the last single night with Zhang Mingda.

The next day, Xia Man, Siji and several other classmates accompanied Zhang Mingda to pick up the bride early.Xia Man didn't let Ye Chaochuan be tormented, and Ye Chaochuan rushed to the wedding hotel to help around ten o'clock.

The twelve o'clock wedding ceremony is just beginning, and it is said that girls are the most beautiful on the day when they are brides. Xiao Jin is wearing a snow-white wedding dress with her head twisted and makeup on her face. Ye Chaochuan didn't recognize it, but he recognized it at a glance. The maid of honor is Chen Dan.

The girl was wearing a white gauze dress with suspenders, probably because she was practicing sports, which made her figure look good, and she also put on light makeup on her face. She was beautiful and heroic, not inferior to the bride.

Zhang Mingda's best man is a dead chicken. As Zhang Mingda said, he was going to find Xia Man, but when Xia Man heard that the bridesmaid was Chen Dan, he actually refused.

So, Xia Man acted as a private photographer, with a camera hanging around his neck, running back and forth with the bride and groom, without even a chance to sit down or eat.

When the bride and groom talked about their love speeches, Zhang Mingda was already crying and hiccupping, but the bride was quite generous, smiling and talking about Zhang Mingda chasing her. Many of their classmates sat below, probably I have also witnessed it, laughing and booing.

Finally, the bride Xiaojin handed the bouquet directly to Chen Dan. She said that she hoped that her best sister would find happiness as soon as possible. Today she will fulfill a wish for the bridesmaid.

It wasn't there during the rehearsal yesterday, Chen Dan seemed a little confused.

Ye Chaochuan in the audience calmly watched the farce that was going to be staged on the stage.

The real person doesn't show his face. When I saw Xiao Jin before, I thought this girl was quite introverted. I didn't expect this girl with vicious eyes to pierce the window paper of the two of them. Now she has planned a romantic drama with one hand.

Miss Xiaojin said in a cool and good voice: "Everyone saw a busy figure in the audience. He is our handsome photographer today. He is a good friend of the bridesmaid for many years and a sweetheart she has loved for many years. Today I In terms of the beauty of adults, create an opportunity for them to fall in love, and hope that they will also be happy."

Xiao Jin whispered something to the master of ceremonies, and the master of ceremonies shouted excitedly into the microphone with his emphasis comparable to that of an announcer: "I invite the handsome photographer to come on stage!"

Several people in the audience stood up and shouted: "Xia Man, come on!" "Xia Man! Xia Man!"

Like a group of ordinary audiences waiting to see a good show, Ye Chaochuan shot his gaze at Xia Man, who was looking at him in bewilderment.

Ye Chaochuan smiled lightly.

The master of ceremonies said again: "Handsome photographer, don't keep our bridesmaids waiting, listen to the voices from the audience and muster up your courage, a love is right in front of you, what are you waiting for?"

Xia Man was a photographer arranged by Zhang Mingda himself, and the wedding company also had a professional photographer. He stood in the audience all the time. Hearing that the photographer here also walked up the stage in a daze, the audience burst out laughing.

The master of ceremonies hurriedly made a stop gesture with one hand: "Today we have two photographers, it seems that the bridesmaids are very lucky."

Xia Man stood with his head bowed for a few seconds, then strode across the aisle and jumped onto the stage. Immediately, there were applause and whistles from the audience.

The master of ceremonies walked between Xia Man and Chen Dan with a microphone in hand, and announced, "Now, please hug the photographer and the bridesmaid."

Xia Man didn't flinch anymore, she took the initiative to hug Chen Dan, patted her on the back twice, and then separated her body.

The master of ceremonies standing next to him followed up and reported: "The audience in the audience may not have seen it, but this handsome guy whispered to the bridesmaid just now."

The roar of booing came back from the audience, Chen Dan covered his mouth and laughed, Xia Man had already jumped off the stage.

The second half of the wedding ceremony continued, Ye Chaochuan had already eaten, and the vacant seat next to him was for Xia Man, who never came back.When the bride and groom came to this table to toast, Xia Man followed behind without saying anything, and followed to the next table.

Many guests left the table one after another, but Ye Chaochuan was still sitting where he was.

After more than an hour, Xia Man finally came back and sat down to serve himself a bowl of rice.

"Where are they?" Ye Chaochuan asked.

"Going to a new house." Xia Man seemed to be reincarnated like a starved ghost, only caring about eating.

"Are you still going tonight?"

"It's a wedding night for the couple, why should I go?" Xia Man didn't even lift his head.

"...What did you say to Chen Dan when you were on stage?" Ye Chaochuan bit his lip and asked.

"I thought you didn't care." Xia Man finally turned to look at him, with a usual signature smile on his face.

Ye Chaochuan didn't say a word, and put all the leftover dishes in front of Xia Man.

"Chen Dan wished me to have no children or grandchildren," Xia Man said with a smile, "I said 'thank you'."

☆, wipe, the crush was found

After Chen Dan sent this blessing without malice, she came to this city suddenly in June.

At that time, Ye Chaochuan’s situation was very entangled. The resume he submitted to Hanyan Institute more than a month ago was now asked to take a re-examination. At this time, he had already passed the re-examination of a private company and was waiting for the final result.

He had a faint feeling of excitement, as if the seeds he had planted so hard all of a sudden sprouted, he was happy to see any of them,

In addition, he began to worry about which one to choose.

What Xia Man meant was to be prepared with both hands. It would be best if both could succeed. The right to choose was completely in his own hands, and he would decide which one to give up when the time came.

On the day he went to the Han Research Institute for an interview, Xia Man went to meet Chen Dan, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face when he came back, so he insisted on dragging him out to have a big meal. He said three blessings were coming.

It turned out that Chen Dan had a cousin who worked at the Daily News Agency. When she heard that Ye Chaochuan was looking for a job, she offered to ask her cousin for help.

Ye Chaochuan didn't act as excited as Xia Man when he heard it, and didn't even make any waves.

Seeing that he was not happy, Xia Man explained everything from Chen Dan's character, his relationship with him, to the farce of Zhang Mingda hugging her last time when he got married: "Did you hear Chen Dan curse me?" She thought she hated me if she lost her children and grandchildren, but that's true, I made it clear to her a long time ago, and she even blessed us both."

Ye Chaochuan's eyelids twitched, and he looked around. He was afraid that Xia Man would speak too much again, so he said, "Thank her then."

Three days later, Ye Chaochuan received a call from the Chinese Research Institute. It was a call from a supervisor. He told Ye Chaochuan about the salary, which meant that the salary they could give was a bit low for a master. Confirm with Ye Chaochuan whether he is willing to come to work.

Of course Ye Chaochuan said "yes" without any hesitation.

After running around for two months, the job was finally done, two weeks before the graduation defense.

In the past two weeks, I have been nervous and excited. I am happy that I have finally reached the last door of "graduation and leaving this ghost place", and I am nervous because the door cannot be opened if I fail to defend.

The graduation defense is different from the interview of entering the graduate school and the countless reports and assessments in the whole process. There is no uniform time for the graduation defense, only the start date and the deadline, and the defense can be carried out during this period.

The students had their graduation defense one after another. Ye Chaochuan and Xiong Kan approached Mr. Cui more than once, but Mr. Cui always asked them to continue revising their thesis for various reasons without mentioning the time for the defense.

The teacher from the personnel department didn't look for Mr. Cui, but directly went to the two of them to inquire about the situation. They politely called it an inquiry, but from the serious and threatening tone, they could hear the implication. They were too ignorant and didn't know anything Seriously, don't you want to graduate?

Xiong Kan and Ye Chaochuan smiled wryly at each other, unable to speak.

In the last week, the employment result of Han Research Institute has not been announced yet, but the private company called and informed him to go to a certain hospital for a physical examination and enter the job with the medical examination report.

To make a choice so soon, the situation is not as ideal as imagined. Of course, he is more inclined to the Han Research Institute, but the situation is that the Han Research Institute has not yet announced the results, and no one knows whether there will be variables. It is like a gamble. ,put all one's eggs in one basket.

After thinking about it for half the night, he decided to give up his position in the private company, and waited for the results of the Chinese Research Institute while preparing for his defense.

His defense date happened to be the last day of the deadline, after Xiong Kan.

At noon, Xia Man bought a few large bags of fresh fruit and sent them to Ye Chaochuan and Xiong Kan. He asked Ye Chaochuan and Xiong Kan to wash them and put them on the conference table, so that the professors could relieve their boredom while listening to his defense. I was blocked for a long time and said a few words.

The defense officially started in the afternoon, Ye Chaochuan was talking at the top, and the professors below were pulling lychees and grapes, the mess on the table was like a tea party.

The three external teachers gave him advice, and a professor who was sitting closer to him reminded him in a low voice: "You write it down."

Old man Cui listened expressionlessly, until a certain professor made an opinion, he sat up straight and discussed with that professor a few times, and made an academic exchange by the way.

In the end, when the chairman of the defense announced that Ye Chaochuan had passed his graduation defense, Ye Chaochuan bowed his head in the midst of applause.

Finally able to leave this place.

Ye Chaochuan had a meal with Xia Man and Xiong Kan to celebrate their successful graduation.In the evening, Xia Man and Ye Chaochuan went to his dormitory to pack things.Zhou Li and Kuai Pengcheng were also in the dormitory. Seeing that he brought friends, the two went to the girls' dormitory next door to watch TV.

Ye Chaochuan didn't have many things, and he was so busy during the three years here that he didn't even buy a few books. The clothes in the closet, stationery on the desk, and bedding on the bed were finished as soon as they were collected.

He went outside to boil a pot of water first, and when he entered the room, Xia Man had just climbed onto his bed when he felt his throat tightening, trying to make something bad happen.

Xia Man moved his pillow away and found a photo under it. He picked it up and saw that it was the one Xia Xiaoyue took of him and Ye Chaochuan on the top of the mountain. He held the photo for a long time.

"You've kept it on for long enough, the color has changed." Xia Man held the photo and shook it with high spirits, almost wagging his tail.

Now that he was discovered, Ye Chaochuan didn't care anymore, he climbed into bed and watched with Xia Man.

They were green four years ago, and Xia Man smiled like a fool, holding Ye Chaochuan with one arm and making a "V" with the other, his complacent expression seemed to occupy the whole world; It's a smiling face with a clear and meaningful manner.Behind them is the rising sun, and the brilliant light shines on them, as if it has carved a once-in-a-lifetime mark.

Xia Man turned his face away, lowered his head and kissed his mouth, and gnawed inexplicably for half a minute.

Ye Chaochuan panted and pushed him away: "Clean up quickly, and go to your place when it's over."

Xia Man thought he meant something, so he rolled up Ye Chaochuan's things as if his whole body was spattered with chicken blood, and dragged him home with both hands.

Ye Chaochuan closed his eyes and said nothing, but Xia Man was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He took Ye Chaochuan's hand and put it on his lips, kissing him non-stop, and murmured: "Xiaochuan, you are so kind..."

Early the next morning, Xia Man went out to buy breakfast and walked Brick while Ye Chaochuan ate breakfast in bed.

Xia Man has been grinning under his ears since yesterday, Ye Chaochuan was heartbroken when he saw it, the bastard thing finally came to his wish, he suffered, and lay lazily on the bed for a whole day.

The magazines he used to contribute to would make an appointment with him every few months. He has been busy with his graduation for the past six months. Seeing that the deadline is approaching, he is lying on the bedside with his laptop and typing, and Xia Man is waiting beside him like a 24-year-old dutiful son. with.

"What other job are you looking for? It's pretty good just writing for a magazine, and you don't have to go to work. Isn't this called a freelancer?" Xia Man washed a bowl of bright red cherries and put them in his hand.

Ye Chaochuan picked up one with his fingers and put it in his mouth. As soon as he pressed his lips hard, a sweet and delicious taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue: "You know what a fart."

Xia Man looked at his pale pink lips with water-red cherries, alas, so exasperating and cute.

The next day, Xia Man went to work, and Ye Chaochuan no longer had to go to the courtyard to work, and simply continued to work at home while working on manuscripts and looking for jobs online.

As usual, he opened the website of Han Research Institute first, and saw a new announcement with the title of Talent Recruitment Announcement. He was a little nervous immediately, and his hands trembled a little when operating the mouse.

He read the names of those people back and forth several times, then closed the web page, and heaved a long sigh.

He gave up his position in a private company and put all his hopes on the Han Research Institute and the executive who called him, but he lost the bet.

Ye Chaochuan once again realized the stubborn nature of fate, it just likes to play tricks on people.

Xia Man contacted Chen Dan a few times. When he was calling, Ye Chaochuan was listening to him, nodding yes and shaking his head no silently. Cousin Chen Dan made an agreement with the deputy editor-in-chief of their daily newspaper and asked them to go talk to him on Friday. We meet each other.

This day Xia Man asked for leave again, Ye Chaochuan was very displeased: "You don't have to do this, go to your shift."

"Chen Dan is also here today. She needs to be in touch with her at any time. How can you two communicate without me?" Xia Man fiddled with her hair in the mirror.

What Xia Man said was right, it would indeed be embarrassing for him to communicate with Chen Dan, but it was always uncomfortable for Xia Man to accompany him for such a small matter.

It was raining as densely as a cow's hair, and they went out in the morning to wait near their work to be interviewed.There was no reply until noon, so they ate nearby and came back to catch up.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Dan got out of a car and stepped on the
