The difference between cloud and mud

When they met the next week, Xiao Fengtai took the matter of grandma as something new and would tell Jiang Tong about it.

"Didn't you see her expression?" They lay crossed on the long-haired carpet, Xiao Fengtai leaned on Jiang Tong's thigh to edit the PS, he subconsciously bit the penholder while editing, so the pronunciation sounded ambiguous.

"If you want to go to the United States, you can apply by yourself, and the family will not help you." He imitated the tone of the old woman vividly: "I grew up, and it was the first time my grandma got angry with me."

"In order to go to the United States, I broke up with my family. If you really can't pass the college entrance examination, you will be responsible." He wanted to tease Jiang Tong, but felt the back of his head move, and Jiang Tong sat up from the bed.

"Did you really tell her that?" The other party obviously didn't take his words as a joke: "Find an opportunity to apologize to her. University is a lifetime thing, so you can't be careless."

Xiao Fengtai straightened up abruptly: "Can you say it again?"

"Undergraduate application is based on family background. I won't say much about the importance of recommendation letters. Take a step back. Your family must have arranged all kinds of application materials for you. You don't know anything about these procedures. I can’t prepare enough materials.” Jiang Tong slowed down his tone: “The four years of university have a subtle influence on a person’s life, so it’s better to be cautious and safe.”

"And the old man is so old, why bother to get angry with her."

"She's calmed down, I'm going back to England." Xiao Fengtai laughed: "Are you okay?"

He originally wanted to bring up the quarrel with his grandma to claim credit for himself, showing that he is not afraid of power in the face of love, and is willing to put his future on the line.Even if Jiang Tong was not moved to tears, he should have given him a deep kiss as a sign of encouragement.However, the other party not only has no intention of acknowledging it at all, but has a face of being a teacher, making him look like a student who has done something wrong.

"If I go to the UK to study as an undergraduate, will you come to the UK?" He saw Jiang Tong's hard expression softened in hesitation and guilt, but he was not happy.It was as if my heart was being cut back and forth by a small saw, with bursts of fine and sharp pain.

"These are two things." Jiang Tong said with difficulty: "We had an agreement... But I didn't know that your family was so resistant to you going to the United States."

"So if you knew at the beginning, you wouldn't have made an appointment to go to America with me?" Xiao Fengtai began to feel that the whole thing was ridiculous: "Then what shall we do in the future?"

Jiang Tong frowned: "You didn't understand what I said."

"I understand it!" Xiao Fengtai said loudly: "Anyway, you are determined to go to the United States. It is best for me to follow, and it doesn't matter if you don't."

"You didn't even think about having a future with me." So he didn't want to take any risks and responsibilities—even if it was fictional, the risks he invented to amuse him.

He jumped off the bed, stuffed the manuscript paper and stationery into his schoolbag, and was about to leave.Jiang Tong's reaction made him extremely disappointed, and he didn't want to see his face again today.

Let Dr. Jiang and his tumor cells love each other.

He swung his schoolbag onto his back and rushed to the door, but found that he couldn't open the door——Jiang Tong's hand was pressing on the door, Xiao Fengtai tried hard, but the iron door didn't budge.

He looked up at Jiang Tong: "Get out of the way."

"Why don't you understand." Jiang Tong's eyes were dark and deep: "Do you think I don't want to coax you lightly and let you come to America with me?"

"I don't want to listen to your preaching." Xiao Fengtai continued to pull the door: "Get out of the way."

"Could it be that you won't live if I die?" Jiang Tong whispered.

Xiao Fengtai looked up at him.

"I love you and I'm glad you like me too. But you can't live without someone leaving. Because there's so much more to life than love—your family, friends, career, hobbies...if you're with family Break up and go to a second-tier American university, and you will be miserable. To a certain extent, you will hate me."

"Your hateful eyes are more unbearable to me than the four years we have separated the two ends of the earth."

Xiao Fengtai sighed: "Mr. Jiang, why can't you have a little confidence in me."

"I, Xiao Fengtai, study in the best private English school in Singapore. I have maintained a stable gpa of above 3.9 in the six years of middle school. As the chief violinist of the school orchestra, I have performed abroad several times. I also served as the president of the school's Model United Nations and went to Africa as a volunteer teacher. During this period, I raised more than 10 A donation of [-] U.S. dollars was used to build information facilities in local elementary schools—yes, many of the experiences were supported by my family, but writing resumes and PS are definitely more than enough.”

"Even if my family doesn't help, I can still get a letter of recommendation. Why do you think that I will be reduced to a second-rate university and suffer for the rest of my life? When it really comes to that point, I dare to confront my grandma head-on? I'm not stupid."

Jiang Tong was taken aback for a moment, Xiao Fengtai took the opportunity to open the door, slipped around him like a live fish and slipped out of the room.

"I haven't forgiven you yet. You figure it out."

It is rare for Xiao Fengtai to stand on the moral high ground in a disagreement with Jiang Tong (self-confessed), so naturally he is unforgiving, and just waits for Jiang Tong to come to apologize to him.However, after waiting for two days, Jiang Tong did not respond, and the two started a cold war in a daze.

It's like a thread is threaded through my heart, hanging precariously in mid-air, neither up nor down, only the continuous pain and anxiety are real.How happy it is to be together, how difficult it is to be apart.They are always speculating about the other party's thoughts, tortured by the unknown unknown, and spend all their energy controlling their fingers, not raising the white flag first to admit defeat to the other party.

Going out to eat at noon, David gloated over it: "You also have today. It seems that God is indeed fair."

Xiao Fengtai glared at him gloomily: "Shut up."

"Keep this expression and don't move, I'll take a photo for you." David didn't seem to understand what it means to accept it as soon as you see it, but he still said enthusiastically: "I really want you to see how you look, it's exactly the same as the stone carvings on Easter Island !"

Xiao Fengtai got up and left. David saw that he was really angry, so he hurriedly stopped him: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I treat you to this meal! Master Xiao is generous, don't care about me."

Xiao Fengtai sat down without saying a word, subconsciously glanced at the phone screen, saw that the screen was empty and clean, and his face became a little colder.

"Let me let him go." David said earnestly: "Look at you, you can't eat well, and you can't sleep well. It's better to just reconcile."

"I'm not wrong." Xiao Fengtai said coldly.

"Relationship is not an exam. If you are right, you will gain points and if you are wrong, you will lose points." David rolled his eyes: "You reconcile first, and my eldest sister may think that you are magnanimous and more masculine."

He was still kept in the dark by Xiao Fengtai, thinking that the one who tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time with his friend was a glamorous Eve——Xiao Fengtai had met countless times since he was a child. The young master who can't get in the salt takes it.

Xiao Fengtai crossed his arms and looked David up and down: "This gentleman speaks so nicely, it seems that he has a lot of relevant experience - Tiffany is blessed."

"Ok, when I didn't say anything." David sighed bitterly, raised his hand and called the waiter: "Check out!"

David suffocated and went home, unaware that his words had taken root in Xiao Fengtai's heart.The latter found that his two thumbs seemed to have independent consciousness.While in a daze for a while on the way home, he had opened the chat dialog box with Jiang Tong four times.

If Jiang Tong didn't take the initiative to contact him today, tomorrow he will be magnanimous and offer an olive branch.Before getting off the car, Xiao Fengtai finally made up his mind.As David said, he wants to show his mature and rational side, and he cannot be as knowledgeable as Jiang Tong.

It's a pity that Jiang Tong didn't give him this chance.At 55:5 that night, [-] minutes before "tomorrow", Xiao Fengtai's cell phone beside his pillow vibrated.

He turned on the screen sleepily. Jiang Tong didn't mention the previous quarrel, but just told Xiao Fengtai that there was a group meeting on Saturday, and asked him if he could attend class at another time.The tone of the message was calm and concise, as if the cold war between the two was just Xiao Fengtai's unilateral illusion.

Jiang Tong took the initiative to bow to him!Xiao Fengtai got up from the bed in a jiffy, took the phone, typed and deleted, went back and forth several times, and finally turned off the phone and threw it beside the bed.

Can't reply too fast, it seems that he stays up most of the night, waiting for Jiang Tong to send a message.Xiao Fengtai lay back on the bed again, with his eyes closed tightly, but the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

With a big stone removed from his heart, Xiao Fengtai had nothing to worry about, and soon sank into a dream.When he woke up the next day, he was full of energy and replied to Jiang Tong's message in a calm tone.Jiang Tong immediately confirmed the time, and as soon as the two came back and forth, the atmosphere returned to the harmony before the Cold War.

Consciously or unintentionally, Xiao Fengtai overlooked an important matter.Although this incident was inconspicuous at the time, after a long time, when he was finally able to examine the past calmly and rationally, he had to admit that the relationship between the two had appeared for the first time in the middle of the night when he fell asleep with relief. crack.Although it is small and hidden, almost invisible cracks can be ignored.But from that moment on, their flawless, dreamlike relationship underwent a qualitative change.

Jiang Tong did not apologize to him.
