After the two finished their meal in silence, Xia's mother went back to the room and took a few packing boxes and handed them to Xia Yubing.

"This is what my mother brought back for you when she was on a business trip. A few books, I hope you like it." Mother Xia handed him the box.Another box was opened.

"This is what my mother bought for you when she just went out. It's a coat. My mother took a look at it from a distance and immediately liked it. My son must be very handsome in it. Try it on?" Mother Xia said The box was opened, and a black mid-length coat was taken out. The style was simple, and it looked like a British college at first glance.

Xia Yubing hesitated for a moment, and finally replaced under Xia's mother's eager gaze.The overcoat was very slim, which made Xia Yubing look extraordinarily slender, followed by Xia's mother's slightly proud voice of admiration.

"It fits perfectly. My son is so handsome. Do you like it?"

Xia Yubing looked at the clothes on her body and then nodded.

"Then I'm going back to my room now?" Xia Yubing asked tentatively.

Xia's mother still couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes, but the disappointment was quickly suppressed. She nodded and said: "Go back, it's time to go to bed. Today is a plane and a car again. , You must be very tired, pay attention to rest."

Xia Yubing responded and went upstairs unhurriedly with her things.He didn't dare to look back the whole time, because he was afraid that he would see Mother Xia staring at him as soon as he turned around. For so many years, he never knew how to deal with such a situation.There are many things that have been accumulated over the years. Simple can become complicated, and tiny things that were invisible before can also become giants that people dare not look directly at.

The door snapped shut.It is such a door that has built a barrier between parents and sons for more than ten years.And to break down that barrier, an opportunity is indispensable.Xia Yubing looked at the books in the unpacked gift box, and felt his eyes a little sore for a moment.He thought, maybe that opportunity is not far away.

It is a book on communication studies compiled by several famous foreign scholars, among which is a not-so-obvious book on media economics.

He doesn't dislike journalism, on the contrary, he quite likes it, but he has always known what is the biggest reason behind such a choice.Is his choice right?

Xia Yubing got up and walked to the dusty bookcase, and opened the locked bookcase at the lower level. He sat on the carpet, looking at various financial weekly and monthly magazines that were neatly rehearsed in the bookcase, and looked at some economics books piled up on it. Works, published for a long, long time.

Until the phone ringing broke the silence in the room.

Xia Yubing got up and took a look at the phone, then froze.

Video request?

Xia Yubing looked at the red arrow that had been flashing on the screen of the phone, but finally did not click.The phone just hung up.Xia Yubing suddenly felt relieved.

Just when he thought it was over, the phone rang again.

Xia Yubing hesitated for a long time, and finally swipe the screen.

As expected, neither of them made an initial appearance, instead turning the camera to the rear.

"Can you see clearly?" Qu Hedong's voice came from the other end of the phone, his voice was very nasal and slightly hoarse.

"It's very clear, do you have a cold?" Xia Yubing asked.

"Well, I have a small cold, and I'll be fine in a few days after taking some medicine. Can you still see clearly?" Qu Hedong pointed the camera at a tower bridge.

"Why is it daytime? It's not dark in city B yet? No, are you abroad?" Xia Yubing looked at the tower bridge standing under the blue sky and white clouds in the camera, and felt very familiar for a moment, as if he had been there before.

"Do you want to guess where I am?" Qu Hedong asked.

Xia Yubing rolled his eyes outside the camera: "Do you still need to guess?"

"Don't think I can't see you rolling your eyes." Qu Hedong said.There was a faint smile in the voice.

Spanning more than half of the earth, the video and sound transmission data lagged and stuttered, but this did not affect the conversation between the two people at all.

"Is there someone next to you?" Xia Yubing asked faintly hearing the noise of talking.

Qu Hedong now turned the camera to his side, as if they were arguing unwillingly, the camera shook for a while, and finally focused on a tall and slender man, dressed in elegant clothes.

"My buddy who is studying in the UK is called Ni Xin, let me meet you."

Ni Xin greeted him, breaking his gentle impression as soon as he opened his mouth: "Brother, hello, I am Ni Xin, fresh and new."

Xia Yubing didn't know how to react for a moment, he paused for a while, then turned the camera around and said, "Hello, my name is Xia Yubing."

"Hey, are you finally willing to turn the camera around?" Qu Hedong said.

"Hehe." Xia Yubing sneered.

"Let me tell you, even though he looks very gentle, he is actually a gentle scum—"

"Hey hey - how can you say that to me in person, I don't want to lose face!" Ni Xin replied loudly.

"When did you ever have such a thing as face?"

"...Why did I make such a bad friend like you?"

"Give me your phone anyway, and see what your friend looks like? He 'turned around' because of me." Ni Xin teased.

"Come on, ignore him, let's talk about ours." Qu Hedong pretended not to hear, turned the camera around, and smiled at him with his back to the Thames.

"Why did you suddenly think of a video?" Xia Yubing asked.

Qu Hedong obviously hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Just on a whim, the weather here today is rare, it's not raining or foggy, and it's very warm. You even have a filter for viewing the scenery."

Xia Yubing didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You look not in a good mood, what's wrong?" Qu Hedong asked.

Xia Yubing glanced at the books in his cabinet, and said calmly, "It's nothing. Maybe I'm a little tired. I'm a little sleepy."

"Then go to sleep and have a good rest." Qu Hedong said.

Qu Hedong looked at Xia Yubing and greeted him listlessly, then hung up the video call.

"It's a shame to hang up on your phone for this reason." Ni Xin laughed.

Qu Hedong knew that he was talking about the reasons for rejection when a person doesn't want to chat with you, such as "I'm going to take a shower".He rolled his eyes.

"Call as long as you make a call. I'm willing to admit defeat, but I told you not to get involved, but you still don't do it. It's all right now." Qu Hedong said.

"Could he have misunderstood the two of us?" Ni Xin asked.

Qu Hedong said: "Half a year has passed, and you are still unreliable, Dani. But let me tell you, I have only told you about this matter so far. And we are still just friends now."

Ni Xin: "The difference between a friend and a 'boyfriend' is only one word, and the literal meaning is clear at a glance-it is easy to change at a glance."

Qu Hedong: "..."

"Okay, stop joking, you said you only told me, so now I have two questions I want to ask you."

"What's the problem?" Qu Hedong asked.

"Are you so sure that you are the same? Why haven't I seen you react when I've been with you for so many years?"

Qu Hedong sized Ni Xin up and down for a long time, then said slowly, "Are you questioning my vision?"

Ni Xin trembled under Qu He Dongyin's pitiful gaze, and then rolled his eyes: "Hey, do you want to hurt people like this? But I'm serious." His expression became serious in seconds after he finished speaking. .

Qu Hedong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at the sparkling water of the Thames and said, "I don't know, but I know, I like him."

Ni Xin was also silent for a while, and finally asked: "You said that you only told me, but is it only me who knows about this?"

Hearing this, Qu Hedong raised his head from deep thought and looked at him.He frowned slightly.
