Arty Records

The weather was fine on Sunday, Hong Xinyao brought out two soft rattan rocking chairs with bamboo bones, and the two of them lay in the yard to bask in the sun.Under the gourd stand, the yellow warbler is melodious, and the colorful butterflies are flying among the thorn flowers. The big white cat is lazily accompanying it on the stone table, and it knows how to enjoy it better than humans.

Fang Sishen also thought about it, such leisurely and relaxed moments are rare, anyway, there is nothing else to do, so he simply let go of all worries and cherish the beautiful spring in front of him.

The weather is so nice.Fang Sishen suddenly said, "Shall we go for a walk?"

"Where are you going?" Hong Xinyao asked, thinking in his heart that he probably wanted to see another exhibition like a book from heaven, so he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany him to the end.

Fang Sishen thought, it's best to find a place that won't be boring.Taking stock in my heart, I said, "There is an antique and second-hand goods market at the fork of the Lianhuaqu in the Beiyuan River, have you been there?"

Young Master Hong went directly to the college to enter the industry. He had never come into contact with this kind of Jianghu Taobao place.

"I will go there to read old books every once in a while. It's been a long time. It's not far away, and you can also take a walk by the river, how about it?"

"Okay, I'll pick up the car." The garage is located in the outer courtyard, and you can enter and exit through the side door.

"Or... don't drive, it may not be convenient to park there, but the subway can go directly. And, I want to take a walk."

Hong Xinyao was overjoyed, and suddenly felt that this was a great idea, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What do you mean, let's go cross the road? I'll go and tell Mrs. Qiu to have lunch later, and I'll get some later." Take what you drink with you."

The Huangpa Xiejie Subway Station was only opened last year, and even though it was a weekend, there were quite a few people.Young Master Hong has never used public transportation since he got a car.Fortunately, I didn't experience much in the two years of high school, so I didn't get too far out of touch with civilian life.While waiting for the bus, he wanted to grab a seat for Fang Sishen, so he stood in front of him.As soon as the train came to a complete stop, he moved quickly, leaned sideways and got in next to the door, Fang Sishen naturally remained obediently behind.

By chance, a group of children came down, wearing the uniform Little Red Riding Hood, chattering and looking around.Fang Sishen gave way, and was immediately squeezed to the end.A stupid little chubby bumped straight into his body, so he had no choice but to reach out and catch it.The team leader whistled the whistle to assemble, the children cheered and stood in line, and the little chubby pier pushed him away and ran away.Fang Sishen shook his head with a smile, and suddenly heard Hong Xinyao calling himself, and looked up, the car door was closing, it was too late.

Hurry up and point to the front, meaning let him wait for you at the destination.The difference between the two trains is only a few minutes, it doesn't matter.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Lianhuaqu subway station, he looked around but could not see Hong Xinyao.Just wondering, the phone rang.He took it out and saw that it was not Mr. Hong calling.Hurry up and connect, the underground signal is actually not bad.

"you arrived?"

"Here, where are you?"

"Stay there and don't move, I'll be right there."

"Where are you, I'll go..."

Bye.

Fang Sishen wholeheartedly thought that he was outside, and felt that it would be better for him to go out and look for him.After answering this call, I can only stay where I am.Not long after, seeing Hong Xinyao getting out of a car behind him, he couldn't help being stunned.

For the first time, Young Master Hong looked a little embarrassed: "I was afraid that you would get lost, so I got off the bus at one stop and turned around to look for you... Don't laugh. Hey——I've already told you not to laugh!"

It turned out that he grabbed a seat in the car, turned around and found that Fang Sishen hadn't got up, and was in a panic all of a sudden.Before I could figure it out, I arrived at the next stop, and immediately rushed out and got on the opposite car, looking back for someone.Of course, he realized how stupid this move was when he got in the car, but the moment the car door closed, he only thought that he didn't follow, that he was left behind, that he disappeared...

"Still laughing! You're still laughing!" Seeing Fang Sishen's eyes shining brightly, he couldn't help but also laughed.

Self-explanation: "Damn! A wise man thinks a lot, and there must be one or the other. He stumbled. What's the matter." Turning to others, "You are too, you can be squeezed so far by taking the subway. If you want to squeeze the peak At that time, if you are like this, why don’t you force an adult to do it?”

Unexpectedly, Fang Sishen replied: "Speaking of which, I am very lucky. I never have to squeeze the peak."

Even if I work in the future, most of them will live on campus to avoid the hardships of running from nine to five.Fang Sishen knew that he was not a person suitable for a competitive society at all, but fortunately he still had a skill to barely settle down in the university.

"You still have to seduce..."

Fang Sishen looked at him: "I didn't mean that. You are worried about me, I know. Thank you."

Young Master Hong scratched his head: "Who knows what happened, my brain suddenly short-circuited."

After walking for a while, Fang Sishen suddenly said: "A wise man will make a mistake if he thinks a lot, but a fool will gain something if he thinks a lot. A horse stumbles, and a man stumbles. Don't mix them up."

"Can't I be creative?"

"No matter how creative you are, you can't put a wise man on the hoof, can you? Well, take your hoof off..."

"Yeah?!" Hong Xinyao never knew that when a nerd raised his bar, he would have such an inspiration.Thinking about it carefully, in fact, he is often sharp, but he is used to being straight, and no one specifically teases him, so his potential has not been discovered.

Seeing the smile on his brows and eyes, with an extremely rare sense of constriction, indescribably cute and cute, I really wish I could grab him and kiss him hard.

First, I accompanied Fang Sishen to pick out books at the second-hand bookstall for a long time, and picked out a booklet that had been out of print for many years.

"This is a very classic little reference book. I've always wanted to wait for the reprint. Maybe the market demand is too small, so I didn't print it again after it was printed once. I was lucky enough to meet it today."

Then the two went to the antique market.Fang Sishen was just doing it for fun, Hong Xinyao was of course much more attentive, not only paying attention to what he was selling, but also what he was buying, thinking about how they would do this business.Pretending to be a rookie with a big head, he bumped up in a daze, waiting for someone to think he had caught a fish, and then slipped out and unhooked.After repeating this several times, Fang Sishen also saw his tricks, looked at his own tricks, and let him pretend to fool each other.

It is said to be a market, but it is actually a large open-air stall along the river bank, and some people put a few things directly on the ground with handkerchiefs.The reason why Lianhuaqu is called this name is because it is full of lotus flowers.Although there are only lotus leaves in this season, the large areas are round and tender green, which is very pleasing to the eye.What's more, the willows on both sides of the strait are ostentatious, and the peach and apricot are colorful. Even if you don't buy anything, you just walk around and look at it, which is very comfortable.

When they returned, the two of them carried a bamboo pen holder and some interesting knick-knacks.The original price was not high, and it was cut down by at least half by Young Master Hong.Fang Sishen was extremely impressed.Hong Xinyao pouted: "How do you do business if you don't know how to negotiate the price? From now on, you will always bring me with you when you buy things. Even if you get [-]% commission, it's still more cost-effective than buying by yourself."

"How can there be so many..." Fang Sishen said on his lips, but thought in his heart, it's a good thing that old books are not so mysterious, otherwise it would be too bad not to bargain.

When taking the subway again, Hong Xinyao was only willing to follow Fang Sishen.

Back in the courtyard, the knick-knacks are all placed in the study.After dinner, Fang Sishen wanted to go back to school.Hong Xinyao wanted to delay until night, Fang Sishen said: "There is class tomorrow, so we have to prepare." We had to go back together.

When going out of the gate, Hong Xinyao suddenly stopped and pointed to a small metal plate embedded in the side wall: "That's a fingerprint sensor, and it can be used by pushing the cover. I usually knock on the door, and the door knocker is connected to an electronic sensor. doorbell."

Fang Sishen thought the same, otherwise Mrs. Qiu would not be able to hear it when she knocked outside in the inner courtyard.Look at the sensor again, it's the same color as the wall brick, you can't find it if you don't pay attention.

"Your fingerprints have also been recorded. You can come whenever you want. If no one answers the door, just go in by yourself."

Fang Sishen was surprised: "When did you..."

"While you were sleeping."

I always feel a little awkward: "Why don't you tell me first?"

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"That's not what you mean. If you want to take my fingerprints, you should ask me first." Fang Sishen subconsciously felt that this was a dangerous sign, and the more he said it, the more serious he said, "I know you mean well, but... I don't like you like this Call the shots for me."

"I'm sorry. If you're not happy, then..." Young Master Hong blinked, "I'll go and erase it, shall we do it all over again?"

Fang Sishen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only say, "Don't be like this in the future. We... Since we are together, why can't we discuss with each other?"

Young Master Hong said it was too late, I not only have your fingerprints, but also your dormitory key, computer password, ID scan... everything is enough.On the face, he was moved and sincere: "I see, I must discuss it with you next time, and you will forgive me this time, okay?"

Such a low profile, such a soft tone, made Fang Sishen feel like he was making a fuss out of a molehill.Nodding silently, it was over.

Although the relationship between the two has made a qualitative leap, life does not seem to be much different from the past.

Hong Xinyao would appear in the research group twice a week, the time was not fixed, and he met different members of the research group, so this frequency was not enough to attract attention.Fang Sishen has always been introverted and single-minded.As long as there is work in hand and Young Master Hong doesn't make excessive moves on the sidelines, he will basically be unaffected and remain calm as always.Fortunately, Hong Xinyao has been more cautious recently than in the past, and is very restrained in front of others.As for how insane and stateless the queen is... don't mention it.

Meet twice a week, the first time just eat and go to the gym to work out.The second time I ate, exercised, and went to Huangpa Xiejie to spend the night.Because Fang Sishen didn't want to always ask for leave with his father on weekends, the overnight stay was changed to Thursday.There is no class on Friday, so I just stay in the courtyard in the morning, talking, reading, occasionally playing with cats and birds, watering flowers and catching insects, which is very pleasant.Both of them are busy on weekends, and the time for a week to really relax is just this night plus a half-day date.We cherish each other very much in our hearts, and gradually there is a taste like glue mixed with honey.

That is to say, some things are very prudent and principled: it is ok outside the school, but not in the school; it is ok in the house, but not in the car; it is ok in the bedroom, but not in the study; Yes, it’s okay if you don’t get up at noon.Hong Xinyao is very obedient, usually not too much.After all, when it comes to bed, it is not up to Shang Sishen to make the decision, so there is basically nothing wrong with it.Fang Sishen was shy and never put on an air, this made Young Master Hong feel ecstatic and delighted.Don't say anything, just one word, damn it!

The happy time always flies very fast, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Fang Sishen wrote back and formally declined Wei Deli's invitation to study abroad, and specifically explained the topic he was working on in detail to show his sincerity.Wei Deli was very interested in this, and incidentally provided some overseas related research clues, and the two had done a lot of academic exchanges in a serious manner.

On the first Saturday in May, Fang Sishen prepared the thesis defense materials at home.For dinner, my father yelled several times before coming out to eat absent-mindedly.

Fang Duzhi knocked on the table: "Don't be distracted while eating, you may suffer from indigestion."

"Oh."

"Have you decided on the members of the defense committee? Who are they? Who will record for you, and who will receive you?"

"Teacher is invited." Fang Sishen said his name.Except for one who is a professor of the National Academy of Beijing Normal University, the other four are old scholars with eccentric tempers and achievements in other places. "To record and receive, you may have to ask the students in the research group to help."

Fang Duzhi frowned: "What can a few young undergraduates do?"

Hua Dingsong's sect has withered, and now Fang Sishen is the only disciple.When it comes to this kind of employment, it looks lonely and pitiful, without even a right-hand man who can help.

"The reception is definitely fine. There is an audio recording for the recording. They help me sort out the first draft, and I can check it myself in the end. Dad, don't underestimate undergraduates. If you work hard, you may not be much worse than a master's doctor."

Fang Duzhi nodded: "Well, it doesn't matter who brought it out, right?"

Fang Sishen heard the teasing, and gave his father a look: "Dad!"

Fang Duzhi's heart skipped a beat for no reason when he saw his son's gaze, and he immediately suppressed his smile and stared at him steadfastly.

He remembered that it had felt like this more than once recently.The father and son spend at most two days a week together, and each is busy with their own affairs, so the time spent together is really limited.Fang Duzhi went through the limited coexistence scenes carefully in his mind, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.But there must be something wrong, there is no doubt about it.I was surprised by my son occasionally before, and it was fleeting, and I didn't have time to think about it, but this time it was particularly obvious.He couldn't help but take a serious look at the person who was so familiar in front of him that he could no longer be familiar with him.

This attention really made a difference.I should be in good shape recently, and my whole person seems to be covered with a faint light.Of course, being hospitalized during the winter vacation is an important reason, but...

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Xiaosi..."

"What's the matter?" Fang Sishen was stunned by his father's expression, and his expression couldn't help becoming serious.

Fang Duzhi kept replaying the previous clips in his mind.That look, that look, that bit of unconsciousness and inadvertent aura of first-time acquaintance...

"Xiao Si, tell Dad the truth, are you... are you... in love?"

Looking at his son's rapidly turning red face, Fang Duzhi's heart dropped at the same speed, and he didn't know where to land.

Although Fang Sishen was surprised, he didn't panic, and nodded slightly: "Yes, Dad, I'm...um, falling in love."

After a while, Fang Duzhi asked with a sour voice, "How long has it been? Who is the other party? Can you tell me?"

"It didn't take long. The other party...is a second-year student in the research group." Fang Sishen licked his lips and collected his thoughts, "He is in my research group, and he is still attending my class. I know, this is too unruly. But...some things, I can't control...Besides, he is so much younger than me, I want...to be stable for a while before I talk about it. When I leave Jingshi University and cancel my superficial teacher-student status, by then, If, if this relationship continues, Dad, I will bring him to see you. Now... please forgive me."

Fang Duzhi was so shocked that he didn't know how to reply for a moment.

Finally, he hoarsely asked the question he cared about the most: "Is it a girl or..."

Fang Sishen answered very quickly: "It's a boy. I'm sorry, Dad."

Fang Duzhi felt that a stone in his chest was torn apart in an instant, causing his heart to bleed.After pretending to be deaf and dumb for so many years, what should come has finally come.He has never really cared about his son's sexual orientation like he is now.So he clearly realized that this was his own retribution.

I couldn't help crying: "Xiaosi...I'm sorry...Dad...is a selfish bastard. Dad is sorry for you..."

Fang Sishen handed his father a tissue, got up and took the medicine to his hand.Seeing that his mood has stabilized, he said: "Dad, don't be like this...I am fine now. He made me feel...love is very beautiful. No matter what happens in the future, I don't think I will regret it. And there is," Wang Wang Looking into his father's eyes, "No matter whether I fall in love or who I fall in love with, you will always be my father, and this will never change."
