Fall in love with the ex Bai Yueguang
Chapter 29 Orion Arm 2
Xie Li went back to the dormitory and pushed open the door. The room was in a mess, and the floor was full of things, all of which would be taken out tomorrow.
Xie Li has never had a roommate since she was a PhD student.In the four-person dormitory where he lived, most people had to live in double rooms, so he was a blessing in disguise and ended up alone.
He packed his bag, sweated a lot, sat down happily and reconfirmed tomorrow's itinerary.
It was still early for Tan Ke to send Xie Li away.Usually at this time, he would go home and work overtime.Look at the new investment evaluation, look at the qualification review of new investors by the due diligence department, and then look at the news and watch the market. One night passes quickly, and there is often not enough time.
But today I'm not in the mood to talk about Ke.
He is sitting in the living room.
This house was bought by Changjing after he moved out of Financial Street a few years ago and built an office building himself.
In order to keep quiet in the community, there is no subway station around, and the bus station has to walk for a while to get there.Far from the city center, even farther away from Lanta.
If Xie Li were to live here, it would be too inconvenient to go to school.
The decoration should not be Xie Li's favorite style.
The decoration of this house was originally handled by Assistant Xiao.Assistant Xiao felt his boss's temper, and found a designer who came back from Germany, Bauhaus school, keen on metal, steel pipe, cement and geometry.
Tan Ke nodded after seeing the design drawing.
Cement and white walls, industrial-style bare lights, cold and lack of style.Tan Ke felt that Xie Li would not like this style.
Young people of this age should prefer lively and lively things.
When he thought of Xie Lishen's mysterious little appearance, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and suddenly began to look forward to tomorrow's date.
Tan Ke was going to attend an event organized by the Private Equity Association early the next morning.
Assistant Xiao came to pick up Tan Ke early in the morning. When Tan Ke was leaving the house, he suddenly remembered that Xie Li told him not to wear a suit, so he went back to the cloakroom and found a set of casual clothes to put on.
He guessed in his heart whether Xie Li was going to take him to some place that young people like to go, for fear that he would not fit in well in a suit.
Assistant Xiao sat in the car and looked at today's list of participants, gloatingly pointed to one of the names and said, "It's too miserable. It seems that Rongxing's partner hasn't passed the exam this year. If you can't pass the exam, Rongxing will have to consider changing partners first." Alright, otherwise it will be a problem to pass the trial next year."
Last year, a new policy was introduced, requiring all private equity practitioners, from partners to executives, to conduct research and work with certificates.All of a sudden, the industry was devastated, and the sales volume of Lancheng Bookstore in the financial district soared that month.The bosses who change hands tens of millions every minute are looking for remedial classes and exam secrets everywhere.
That is to say, Changjing's two partner certificates are so many that they can build a house, and they are as stable as Mount Tai at home.
Tan Ke was looking at his mobile phone, he hummed noncommittally, and said, "Rongxing lost a lot in the first half of the year, and when the redemption period comes to bankruptcy and liquidation next year, there is no need to rush to verify."
Assistant Xiao looked up at his boss in shock.I wondered in my heart whether the boss had been dropped by someone today, and he would even gossip with him and mock him.
Assistant Xiao suddenly got excited: "Boss, have you heard about Mr. Song's family? I see Mr. Song Cheng and Mr. Song Lian's names are also on this list."
Only then did Tan Ke put away his phone: "What happened to Mr. Song's house?"
Assistant Xiao said mysteriously: "I heard that Song Yi had an accident at school. Something happened to the thesis. It was quite a big trouble. Teacher Song and his eldest son have been in activities everywhere these days. But Lan Da's attitude It seems to be very hard, and I will not let go."
Tan Ke immediately frowned vigilantly.
He doesn't care about Song Yi at all, but he cares about Xie Li.
Speaking of which, he never asked about Xie Li and Song Yi.At the beginning, it was difficult to ask if you were unfamiliar, but then you forgot about it when you fell in love.
The youngest son of a family whose parents have known each other for generations, if he hadn't dangled under his nose every day during that time, he would never have thought of this person at all.
When Assistant Xiao said this, Tan Ke remembered that the day he first met Xie Li, Xie Li was talking to Song Yi about doing data.He felt a little worried, took out his cell phone and called Xie Li, but the call didn't go through.
Tan Ke hung up the phone and thought for a while, then asked Assistant Xiao: "You have time recently to help me look at the house. The area should be large, and the villa duplex is fine. The transportation should be convenient, and it should not be too far from Lanta. It is best to develop a new house. real estate."
Assistant Xiao agreed, took a phone to write it down, and asked a few more details.After asking, he realized belatedly, why did the boss buy a house so close to Lanta?
As soon as Tan Ke entered the venue, he was surrounded by people.
Over the years of Changjing, Tan Ke has pioneered the field of non-performing asset investment in the front, and Fang Xian has led the way in the back to build momentum. Relying on his own advantages in in-depth operations, he has made a big splash in the secondary market.
One article and one military, quite a bit of the meaning of meeting each other.
After the promulgation of new asset regulations at the end of last year, fixed-income products on the market plummeted, and investment channels narrowed.Investors hope that the return rate of the product is higher than that of the existing financial products, but they do not want to bear the risk of market fluctuations. An investment company like Long Whale, which has both hands and hands, immediately sprang up and became the focus of the industry and outside the industry.
Not long after Tan Ke sat down, someone came by next to him, wanting to change seats with Assistant Xiao.
Tan Ke looked up impatiently, it was Song Yi's brother Song Lian.Looking up again, Song Yi's father, Song Cheng, was also looking at the front row not far away.
Tan Ke nodded, Assistant Xiao got up immediately, smiled and asked Song Lian to sit down, and sat in the back by himself.
The presentation has begun.
The host came to the stage, read Song Cheng's name, and announced a long list of titles. At the end, everyone applauded, and Song Cheng took the stage to speak.
Song Lian, who was sitting next to him, said in a low voice: "My dad specially powdered it before going out today, in case he would be illuminated by the lights on the stage, and people would see that he hasn't slept well these days."
Selling a wave of misery first when you come up means asking for something.Tan Ke remained calm: "Uncle Song has been working too hard recently, he should take a good rest."
Song Lian had no choice but to make it clear: "He is for Song Yi's affairs."
He paused, seeing that Tan Ke had no intention of answering the conversation at all, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "Xiao Yi's article was found to be falsified and plagiarized by the journal, and he has reported to Lanzhou University. Now Lanzhou University insists We must dissuade Xiao Yi."
Song Cheng on the podium suddenly coughed, and the host hurriedly brought over a bottle of water.It took Song Cheng a while to recover, apologized to the audience below, and continued to speak.
Song Lian sighed, looked at his father worriedly, and continued: "The journal will not let go, and Lan Da has to deal with it strictly out of face. Xiao Yi has collapsed now."
He paused, and asked with great difficulty: "Look, can you ask Uncle Tan to come forward, find connections in the circle, and pass a message to the editor-in-chief of that journal. As long as they promise not to disclose this matter, Landa It’s easy to say over there. Xiaoyi is young and ignorant, and he is also responsible for not educating him well at home. But this time he really realized his mistake. It is not easy for him to study for this degree, and he will finally graduate. Now he is like this, He couldn't bear this kind of blow."
Tan Ke pondered for a while and didn't speak.
Song Lian and him grew up together when they were young.Song Lian's mother and his mother are colleagues.In the early years, Tan's father did not go home all the year round. Tan Ke and his mother lived in the compound of the District Art Troupe, and they were neighbors with the Song family.
When Song Yi was four or five years old, Tan's family moved away, but they still kept in touch.After Song Yi's mother passed away, the two families gradually stopped moving around, and when Tan Ke went to college, the relationship became even colder.
It wasn't until Tan Ke started to develop the domestic market a few years ago that he got acquainted again.
Tan Ke finally spoke: "Where is Song Yi now?"
Song Lian sighed: "Lock yourself up and don't eat or drink, saying that you have no face to see people, and cry every day." Seeing that Tan Ke seemed to be loosening up, he said, "You see, Xiao Yi has liked it for so many years..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped by Tan Ke's cold eyes.
"Actually, it might be better for you to go find it yourself." Tan Ke's voice was cold, "My relationship with my dad has been clear to you for so many years. If I open my mouth about this kind of thing, it will have the opposite effect."
The meeting is over, and there will be a dinner party later.
Tan Ke himself doesn't eat onion and garlic, so he can't eat the food outside without saying hello.He called two acquaintances in the industry, and planned to open another table in the hotel, and chat while eating.
While waiting for someone, he found time to call Xie Li.
"Li Li." Tan Ke stood in a secluded place, "May I ask the driver to pick you up in the afternoon? I may not be able to leave early."
Xie Li's voice was clear and full of vigor: "No, it's agreed that I will pick you up."
Tan Ke was helpless: "But I'm not in the company now, don't you want four o'clock? Why don't you ask the driver to pick you up directly at four o'clock."
Xie Li still refused to give up: "Then I will pick you up wherever you are, okay?" He was afraid that Tan Ke would not agree, so he emphasized, "You used to pick me up on dates before, but this time I will take you on a date. I also want to have a beginning and an end, okay?"
What could be wrong with this?If you want to pick the stars in the sky, you have to agree.
Tan Ke had no choice but to give an address, and told Xie Li to find a place to sit down and order something when he came, and he would go there after he was busy.
Xie Li happily agreed.
Xie Li packed a hiking bag that was almost half his height, which was found online.He checked it again, and before going out, he called the classmate who was on duty at the observatory today to reconfirm the things he wanted to borrow. Finally, he checked the time, checked the address, and went out happily.
His bag was too big and got stuck in the turnstile when entering the subway.Others passed by, and the bag was squeezed and couldn't get out.He was so anxious that he was like a puppy who was about to get out of a dog hole but got stuck in his fat butt, struggling to move his two thin legs.
In the end, the well-meaning passers-by and staff in the subway station couldn't stand it anymore, covered their mouths, giggled and rescued him together.
Xie Li blushed with embarrassment, why did it go so badly when she went out.
The place Tan Ke asked him to go was in the coffee shop on the ground floor of the hotel where the lecture was held.Tan Ke thought very well, Xie Li came and sat here and ordered a drink and cake, and after eating, he was probably over.
Unexpectedly, Xie Li was stopped by someone.
The waiter saw that Xie Li was dressed in ordinary clothes, was young, and was carrying a big old bag, and guessed that Xie Li was either a poor donkey friend who came to borrow the toilet, or a high school student who ran away from home.
He stopped Xie Li at the door: "We don't borrow toilets here. Go out and turn left and there is a McDonald's 500 meters away. Go there."
Xie Li was puzzled: "I don't borrow the toilet, I come in to wait for someone."
When the waiter heard this, he was even more reluctant: "Go, go, wait for someone, go out and wait by the side, don't block the door! This is not where you came from!"
Xie Li took a look through the glass. The people inside were in suits and leather shoes. He probably knew what the problem was.
He became angry, and reasoned with the waiter: "I come in to wait for someone, and I also consume, and I can spend money to buy things. Why don't you let me in? It's [-] years, are there still poor people who are not rich enough to enter?" Is it reasonable? You are just a waiter, and you are not the owner of this store. Why do you step up and step down like this? Others treat you as the same person, but you first draw a class for yourself. You won't let me in, so in your heart, do you deserve to enter this store?"
The little boy was not tall and looked not very old, but he had a sharp mouth. After talking on the phone, the waiter blushed and had no words to refute.
Tan Ke had changed into loose clothes, was talking with someone, and was walking into the coffee shop from the hotel when he happened to see this scene.
"Li Li." Tan Ke walked over quickly, reached out and took off the big bag on Xie Li's body first, "Why didn't you tell me you are carrying so many things?"
Xie Li didn't see him coming in and was startled.
The hotel manager who accompanied Tan Ke in was also taken aback.
The hotel under the name of this company was delivered to Long Whale Capital as a non-performing asset in the form of debt-to-share transfer last year. It belongs to the same hotel as the hotel that hosted the luncheon for the Hou Xue Award before, and it still has the operation supervisor of Long Whale. The team is inside.
Long Whale is the employer, the full controller, and the real big boss.
They also heard a little bit of the quarrel just now, and the hotel manager's face turned blue when he realized it.
Xie Li was carrying a big bag, and was arguing with others. He was hot and angry, and his face was flushed.
The manager hurried over and bowed to apologize. Only then did the waiter realize that something was wrong, his face turned pale, and he also bowed his head and apologized.
Tan Ke kept a cold face, holding Xie Li's hand and getting angry.
Xie Li tugged at his hand, and said, "Forget it, don't apologize. But don't do this again in the future. It doesn't respect others, and it doesn't respect yourself."
The manager smiled: "Yes, yes, you are right."
Xie Li pulled Tan Ke's hand: "Let's go."
He felt that it was not going well when he came out today, he was embarrassed in the subway, and was stopped by someone in the coffee shop, this date started very badly.
The driver pulled the car out.
Tan Ke held Xie Li's big bag and opened the door: "Hey, get in the car, okay. Where do you want to take me, let the driver take us there."
It was already like this, so Xie Li had no choice but to get in the car.
Assistant Xiao had never heard Tan Ke speak in such a tone, and was stunned.
Xie Li got into the car, and said discouragedly: "I want to take you to the Xiaosushan Observatory. Originally, I wanted to call an online car-hailing here, and I will tell you when I am halfway there. But now that you already know, you can't wait." No more surprises."
Concerned about Assistant Xiao and the driver in front of him, he suppressed his voice and whispered into Tan Ke's ear, making Tan Ke's heart almost melt.
Tan Ke simply brought Xie Li over and touched the child's back, only to find that he was covered in sweat.
"Why don't you tell me why you are so hot." Tan Ke felt distressed.
Xie Li was embarrassed to say that he was popular, so he lowered his head and did not speak.
Tan Ke coaxed him: "It's okay, I just know we're going, but I don't know what we're going to do."
Xie Li got up from Tan Ke's arms, and looked at him with a look of "do you think I'm a fool?": "You all know that we are going to the observatory, but don't you know that we are going to see the stars? "
Tan Ke spread his hands: "Li Li, you said it yourself."
Xie Li raised his chin: "But you only know half of it. You won't know the other half until you go there."
Tan Ke saw his proud little appearance, and he was moved for a moment, and pulled Xie Li over, wishing to rub him into his arms.
Assistant Xiao was sitting in front, his brain was on the verge of crashing due to the fast refresh rate and the large amount of data loaded.
Assistant Xiao was unwilling to die alone, and desperately sent messages to Fang Xian with his mobile phone in his arms.
[Xiao: Mr. Fang, have you ever met Mr. Tan in a relationship? 】
[Xiao: Mr. Fang, do you know Mr. Tan is in love? 】
[Xiao: Mr. Fang, do you think I can ask the proprietress for an autograph as a talisman? 】
Fang Xian ignored him.Assistant Xiao felt very lonely.
Xie Li fell asleep on Tan Ke's lap.He was seriously sleep deprived during this time, as long as his hands were clear, he would feel sleepy no matter where he sat for a while.
Tan Ke carefully supported Xie Li's head, put his arms around his waist and carried him into his arms, letting him sleep on his shoulders.
The little boy woke up in a daze, subconsciously reached out to hug Tan Ke's neck, leaned against the man's neck so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and muttered: "Are we here yet?"
Tan Ke coaxed him: "No, go to sleep, it will be better for a while."
He really believed it and fell asleep again.
The car stopped at the gate of the observation station.
The driver and Assistant Xiao did not dare to breathe.After a while, Assistant Xiao couldn't stand the frozen pink atmosphere, so he suggested in a low voice, "Why don't Brother Zhang and I go down first?"
Tan Ke looked at his watch, it was almost five o'clock.He guessed that Xie Li still had some plans, so he couldn't delay any longer, so he patted Xie Li on the back and called him up: "Li Li, we're here."
Assistant Xiao suffered another fatal blow without warning and almost fell to the ground on the spot.
Xie Li snorted, but was still awake, and squeezed himself into Tan Ke's arms.
He twisted for a long time, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong under his buttocks, which was weird.
He looked up at Tan Ke questioningly, and Tan Ke just happened to be looking at him leisurely.
Xie Li was still in a daze, so he fumbled down Mimi, and suddenly came to his senses. He was about to get up from Tan Ke's legs in a panic, but Tan Ke grabbed him and refused to leave.
Assistant Xiao felt that he was dead, and was dragged out of the coffin to flog the corpse.
Tan Ke finally took Xie Li out of the car.
Xie Li took the initiative to ask for the bag and carried it on his back, saying, "We'll be staying here tonight."
Assistant Xiao thought he was going to live in the observation station, so he looked at Tan Ke: "Then boss, shall we pick you up early tomorrow morning?"
Tan Ke went to see Xie Li, Xie Li shook his head, and waved his hand proudly: "It's okay, I will send Tan Ke back."
Assistant Xiao couldn't tell whether the dog food was sour or sweet or silent, and he just wanted to get out of this suffocating place quickly.
Tan Ke thought that Xie Li was going to take him into the observation station, but Xie Li was carrying a big bag, told him to wait, and ran into the observation station by himself.After a while, he came out again with a huge bag on his back.
The two bags together are bigger than Xie Liren. Tan Ke was terrified when he saw it, and insisted on getting one for him.
Xie Li ducked back: "I can recite well, don't worry about it. Today you just have to follow me and have fun."
After he finished speaking, he was still a little worried, so he pulled Tan Ke and asked, "Do you guess what we are doing here?"
Tan Ke pretended not to know.
So Xie Li was even more proud: "Then just wait, you will know right away."
Lancheng is near the water, the overall terrain is gentle, and the altitude of Xiaosu Mountain is not very high, and the observation station is built on the top of the mountain.
Xie Li took Tan Ke along the trail for about half an hour, climbing from the observation station to the other side of the mountain.
Turning around the woods, a flat meadow suddenly opened up in front of my eyes.The weeds grow up to the height of a human calf, and there are dots of wild flowers in the middle.The summer wind blows slowly, which immediately makes people feel refreshed.
Xie Li turned around as if claiming credit, his eyes brightened: "Isn't it great? No one came here, and we discovered it when the observatory started construction."
There was no one in the field, Tan Ke couldn't help but put his arms around him and kissed him: "It's great, it's really great."
Xie Li put down his backpack, took off the moisture-proof pad and spread it for Tan Ke: "You just sit here and wait for me."
Tan Ke could see that Xie Li had to take care of him today.
The tent was newly bought, and Xie Li learned how to set it up with others when he bought it.
Lay the ground cloth first and spread out the tent.The tent stick is stretchable, and it will automatically stretch out when the two ends are pulled.Two tent sticks are crossed through the drawstrings on the top of the tent, inserted into the pins at the four corners of the tent, and finally the eight drawstrings on the four sides of the tent are tied to the tent sticks.
Tan Ke wanted to help several times, but Xie Li refused firmly.
The tent was pitched.
Xie Li wiped off his sweat, stood with his hips akimbo in front of the tent he had built, with a proud face on his face: "How is it?"
Xie Li's world is small, and it is enough for him to smile contentedly by setting up a tent for his beloved.
Xie Li's world is also very big, his gaze is on the vast universe, and his heart is full of stars and oceans.
Tan Ke couldn't speak, but felt that his heart was shaking.
He has never felt so happy for himself to have such a person as he is now.
He didn't speak, stood up with a smile, walked up to Xie Li, bent down and hugged Xie Li without warning.
Xie Li was nervous for a moment at first, and tugged on the man's collar. Then he found that the embrace was solid and reliable, so he immediately let go of his arms and opened his arms, like a bird with wings stretched, waiting for the first gust of wind to take off. .
He yelled happily: "Round around! I want to spin around!"
So he greeted the wind with his open arms.The sky suddenly became very close, and the colors of the wildflowers mingled like stars in a distant sky.
Xie Li's laughter rolled down the hillside, rolled all the way into the Lanjiang River, mixed with the rising water vapor into the rainwater, mixed into the clouds, and was lifted by the lightning in the troposphere to jump on his buttocks, and jumped out of the atmosphere.
The whole universe is witnessing his joy.
Tan Ke stopped.
Xie Li's head was dizzy, he kept giggling, holding Tan Ke's head, and randomly printed his own saliva marks everywhere.
"Tan Ke, I like you, I like you so much, I like you so much." He was dizzy and repeated incoherently.
Tan Ke held Xie Li's buttocks and held him tightly in his arms, like holding the most beloved child.
Tan Ke had two boyfriends.One when I was studying for a PhD, and one when I was working.
The one who was studying for a Ph.D. was when he was confused about his sexuality.
Tan Ke was liked by girls since he was a child, but he didn't like any of them.His family has high hopes for him, and his life ideals and goals are in front of him, so he has no intention of falling in love.
Until I went abroad, the classmate said jokingly, maybe he likes men.
There are also men who chase after him, but he didn't take it to heart before.Since then, he began to pay attention, and he realized that the man's body is very beautiful.
The first boyfriend hit me like that.Tan Ke tried it and found that he liked a man, but he didn't like this man, so he broke up happily.
The other party was a free and easy person, he didn't want to keep him, but threw himself into the arms of his new lover instead.
The second is when I first entered Huajie.The pressure of work, the incomprehension of his family, and the heavy things wrapped him up.There was a handsome co-worker who was his partner at the same time. When a big order ended, a group of people celebrated together, and the quarrel fell on the two of them.
Tan Ke felt good, and pushed the boat along the way, and then found out that this person sold junk bonds but falsely reported the risks.
Without further ado, he broke off again.
My aunt said he was eating fast food, but Tan Ke didn't think my aunt was wrong.But he is too busy, his world is too flashy and chaotic, too luxurious.The longer he stays in this circle, the harder it is for him to get interested in getting close to someone. Those good-natured souls under the beautiful skin make him feel that it is a waste of time.
But being with Xie Li made him feel that every second was so happy that it was precious.
For the first time, Tan Ke felt that what my sister-in-law said was true, not chicken soup.
"Guji", Xie Li's stomach growled.
Xie Li smiled and jumped off Tan Ke: "I'm so hungry, let's eat first."
He ran to get his bag.
Xie Li's bag was like a treasure bag. Tan Ke watched him take out the alcohol stove, cooking pot, instant noodles, and finally even took out two cans of beer.
"Dangdang!" Xie Li stuffed the beer into Tan Ke's arms, excited, "We can still drink together tonight!"
Xie Li stood up holding a bunch of things: "Okay, I'm going to cook. You just watch from the side, don't interfere!"
Tan Ke was holding two cans of beer that had been covered warmly in his bag, and his heart was also covered warmly.He knew that Xie Li was very busy recently, so busy that he even had time to eat and sleep.
Xie Li didn't have many things, but he picked out the best of them and held them in front of him.
Teach him how to be impassive?
Xie Li picked a place leeward away from the tent, and according to the teaching on the Internet, first step on the grass, spread the fireproof cloth, and then set up the alcohol stove and pot one by one.He tore open a pack of quick octopus sausages, and fried them in a pan until the four claws were lifted up and opened their teeth, and the aroma immediately wafted.
Tan Ke hesitated for a moment, but still walked over: "Li Li, don't put onion, ginger and garlic."
Xie Li paused while pouring water into the pot, but without asking, he readily agreed: "Okay, then don't let it go."
Tan Ke doesn't want to eat seasonings, and Xie Li simply doesn't even put the sauce packets of instant noodles.Pull out a pack of beef jerky from the bag, tear it into strips, throw it into the pot, and cook it with the noodles.
After cooking for a while and lifting the lid, it still smells a little fragrant.
When Xie Li put out the fire and brought the pot over, he was still a little apprehensive, afraid that Tan Ke would not want to eat such rough things.
While Xie Li was cooking, Tan Ke found a few more stones and strengthened the tent that Xie Li had built.As soon as he finished it, Xie Li came over with the pot.
"It's my first time cooking something, so I don't know if it's delicious." Xie Li was a little nervous, and handed the pair of chopsticks to Tan Ke.
Since he was a child, he had no chance to learn how to cook.This time, in order to take Tan Ke out for camping, he ran to the dormitory next door to ask for advice temporarily.
Xiao Wu said that cooking instant noodles is the easiest, and it will definitely be delicious.It turned out that Tan Ke didn't eat seasoning, so let's add some beef jerky.
He handed it to Tan Ke's mouth as if offering a treasure: "Taste it quickly."
Tan Ke took the chopsticks, chewed them twice, and swallowed them without changing his expression, with a smile on his usual face: "It's delicious, Li Li is so delicious."
Xie Li was happy when he heard it: "Really?" He said that he was about to eat with chopsticks.
Tan Ke turned away and refused to give it to him: "What you make for me is mine. Well, I allow you to have snacks for dinner today."
Xie Li was dubious, but couldn't grab him, and watched Tan Ke eat a pot of noodles for two people.
Tan Ke chewed the noodles, thinking in his heart that Xie Li must not be allowed to cook after living together in the future, and find a nanny if he has no time.Although he doesn't like outsiders in his home, it's better than letting Xie Li cook in the dark.
After Tan Ke finally finished the pot of noodles, Xie Li was already unpacking the bag from the observation station with a chocolate bar in his mouth.
Xie Li set up the tripod, installed the lens barrel, and nimbly screwed the small screws on the finderscope with soft fingers until there was only a little gap left, and then installed the eyepiece.
Xie Li played with that equipment, like a little boy playing with his favorite car, skillfully and carefully, humming a song in a good mood.
I don't know what song it is, the tune is lingering, and the simple lyrics are repeated over and over again, like an endless love song.
"Half Moon Climbs Up..."
"Yilala, climb up..."
"On my girl's dresser..."
The young people, the singing, the telescope, and the sky weave into a dream that Tan Ke cannot describe in words, a dream that is close at hand, a dream that belongs to him.
The twilight is coming together, the afterglow of the setting sun is gradually fading, and a shining bright star appears in the western sky.
The singing boy suddenly turned around, slammed into Tan Ke's eyes staring at his back, and called his name: "Tan Ke."
Tan Ke came over.
Xie Li stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky: "Look, that is Venus." He took Tan Ke's hand and directed him to look at the eyepiece, "Is it very bright? When I first took the observation class, I almost thought that was Venus." Airplane lights."
The planet in the eyepiece was only the size of a crescent on a fingernail, and more than half was hidden in shadow.
Xie Li was not without regrets: "This is a teaching mirror for undergraduate students to observe. It can only see this level. No matter how good it is, we can't borrow it."
He adjusted the angle of the eyepiece again, fiddled with it for a while, and reached out to pull Tanke: "Look at Mars, this is the clearest! You can also see the dust storm!"
Xie Li is like a child, tirelessly looking for the planets in the solar system, and introducing each of his toys to Tan Ke.Sometimes Tan Ke is too slow to watch, and the planet drifts away, and he will jump anxiously.
"Jupiter is the most beautiful. I like Jupiter the most, like a beautiful big bead." Xie Li picked up the cover that was neatly folded aside and put it on the telescope. "Neptune is also beautiful, but this one can't see it." Now, only one point can be seen."
He clapped his hands: "Okay, now we've finished watching everything we can. Then we'll have to wait. We won't be able to watch until the moon goes down at 01:30."
Xie Li pulled Tan Ke back into the tent.
It was pitch black in the tent.Xie Li took advantage of the light from his mobile phone, pouted his buttocks to look for outdoor lights in his bag, and pulled everything out.
Tan Ke casually picked up a large bag of cloth that Xie Li threw out, shook it open, and found that it was a sleeping bag for two people.
Tan Ke stared at the double sleeping bag, and said calmly: "Li Li."
Xie Li was still looking for the outdoor light: "Hey, I put it on... I found it!"
He happily turned around with the lamp in his hand, and as soon as his fingers touched the push-pull switch, he was roughly pulled into his arms by Tan Ke.
The inside of the tent suddenly lit up, and the outdoor lights rolled to the ground.
Xie Li was pressed on the moisture-proof mat by Tan Ke, nose to nose.
Tan Ke kissed him restrainedly and gently, from the corners of the lips to the tip of the nose, to the end of the eyes with trembling eyelashes, to the smooth and beautiful forehead.He kissed solemnly, without a hint of lust, as if there were countless words that could not be said, and they wanted to be passed into Xie Li's heart through the kiss between lips and tongue.
Tan Ke put his hand on Xie Li's forehead, brushing away the broken hair on his forehead.
The little boy's forehead is beautiful and smooth, with a full curvature, but he always likes to cover it with bangs.Tan Ke caressed carefully, and suddenly his fingers touched a thin and hard bump.
Xie Li also felt something, and hastily stretched out his hand to hold his hand: "There is a scar there."
Xie Li became nervous for some reason, and suddenly pushed Tan Ke away and got up: "You, don't..."
Tan Ke noticed Ai Ai's uneasy look: "What's the matter, Li Li?"
Xie Li reached out to touch the scar on his forehead.
It was a fight.
It was him in the orphanage who was robbed of his belongings, and was suddenly shoved onto the edge of the table, with a burning pain on his forehead.So he angrily pushed the opponent down, rode under him and beat him hard.
The teacher led a couple who were willing to adopt him into the activity room, and happened to see the scene where he was bleeding on his forehead and beating someone like a little red-eyed Yaksha.
That scar became a mark on him, a mark of no father and no mother.
Xie Li sometimes felt that there was nothing wrong with the orphan, and it wasn't his fault.
But sometimes he is constantly reminded that he is incomplete, incomplete, and different from others.
Tan Ke didn't know what happened, but saw Xie Li's face suddenly dimmed.
He moved over to hug Xie Li, ignored Xie Li's weak resistance, hugged his thin body tightly in his arms, and kissed the little boy's heart.
Tan Ke's arms are domineering, but Xie Li feels safe.He pulled out his arm, climbed onto the man's shoulder, half-kneeled in Tan Ke's arms, and said solemnly, "I want to tell you something about me."
Tan Ke felt his uneasiness, hugged him tightly, and joked with him: "What's the matter? Are you going to tell me that you are actually a little dragon?"
Xie Li's original solemn mood was suddenly lost, and he raised his head full of doubts: "What is Xiaolongman?"
It is rare in Tan Ke's life that he is so stuffed up that he can't speak.
He suddenly remembered that Xie Li was less than 21 years old this year, born in [-], and he was almost the same generation as him.
Of course, Xie Li didn't know what Xiaolongren was.
Tan Ke didn't want to explain to Xie Li the huge generation gap between him and himself, so he had to drag back the topic: "What did you say you were going to tell me just now?"
Xie Li buried her head on Tan Ke's shoulder again, and said in a muffled voice, "Then let me tell you, don't be surprised, and don't ask me many questions."
Tan Ke stroked his back: "Okay. I won't ask anything."
So Xie Li stuck to Tan Ke's ear and whispered: "I don't have parents, I'm an orphan.I grew up in an orphanage. "
He paused, then added: "I don't have a nickname. Only you once called me Lili."
Xie Li has never had a roommate since she was a PhD student.In the four-person dormitory where he lived, most people had to live in double rooms, so he was a blessing in disguise and ended up alone.
He packed his bag, sweated a lot, sat down happily and reconfirmed tomorrow's itinerary.
It was still early for Tan Ke to send Xie Li away.Usually at this time, he would go home and work overtime.Look at the new investment evaluation, look at the qualification review of new investors by the due diligence department, and then look at the news and watch the market. One night passes quickly, and there is often not enough time.
But today I'm not in the mood to talk about Ke.
He is sitting in the living room.
This house was bought by Changjing after he moved out of Financial Street a few years ago and built an office building himself.
In order to keep quiet in the community, there is no subway station around, and the bus station has to walk for a while to get there.Far from the city center, even farther away from Lanta.
If Xie Li were to live here, it would be too inconvenient to go to school.
The decoration should not be Xie Li's favorite style.
The decoration of this house was originally handled by Assistant Xiao.Assistant Xiao felt his boss's temper, and found a designer who came back from Germany, Bauhaus school, keen on metal, steel pipe, cement and geometry.
Tan Ke nodded after seeing the design drawing.
Cement and white walls, industrial-style bare lights, cold and lack of style.Tan Ke felt that Xie Li would not like this style.
Young people of this age should prefer lively and lively things.
When he thought of Xie Lishen's mysterious little appearance, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and suddenly began to look forward to tomorrow's date.
Tan Ke was going to attend an event organized by the Private Equity Association early the next morning.
Assistant Xiao came to pick up Tan Ke early in the morning. When Tan Ke was leaving the house, he suddenly remembered that Xie Li told him not to wear a suit, so he went back to the cloakroom and found a set of casual clothes to put on.
He guessed in his heart whether Xie Li was going to take him to some place that young people like to go, for fear that he would not fit in well in a suit.
Assistant Xiao sat in the car and looked at today's list of participants, gloatingly pointed to one of the names and said, "It's too miserable. It seems that Rongxing's partner hasn't passed the exam this year. If you can't pass the exam, Rongxing will have to consider changing partners first." Alright, otherwise it will be a problem to pass the trial next year."
Last year, a new policy was introduced, requiring all private equity practitioners, from partners to executives, to conduct research and work with certificates.All of a sudden, the industry was devastated, and the sales volume of Lancheng Bookstore in the financial district soared that month.The bosses who change hands tens of millions every minute are looking for remedial classes and exam secrets everywhere.
That is to say, Changjing's two partner certificates are so many that they can build a house, and they are as stable as Mount Tai at home.
Tan Ke was looking at his mobile phone, he hummed noncommittally, and said, "Rongxing lost a lot in the first half of the year, and when the redemption period comes to bankruptcy and liquidation next year, there is no need to rush to verify."
Assistant Xiao looked up at his boss in shock.I wondered in my heart whether the boss had been dropped by someone today, and he would even gossip with him and mock him.
Assistant Xiao suddenly got excited: "Boss, have you heard about Mr. Song's family? I see Mr. Song Cheng and Mr. Song Lian's names are also on this list."
Only then did Tan Ke put away his phone: "What happened to Mr. Song's house?"
Assistant Xiao said mysteriously: "I heard that Song Yi had an accident at school. Something happened to the thesis. It was quite a big trouble. Teacher Song and his eldest son have been in activities everywhere these days. But Lan Da's attitude It seems to be very hard, and I will not let go."
Tan Ke immediately frowned vigilantly.
He doesn't care about Song Yi at all, but he cares about Xie Li.
Speaking of which, he never asked about Xie Li and Song Yi.At the beginning, it was difficult to ask if you were unfamiliar, but then you forgot about it when you fell in love.
The youngest son of a family whose parents have known each other for generations, if he hadn't dangled under his nose every day during that time, he would never have thought of this person at all.
When Assistant Xiao said this, Tan Ke remembered that the day he first met Xie Li, Xie Li was talking to Song Yi about doing data.He felt a little worried, took out his cell phone and called Xie Li, but the call didn't go through.
Tan Ke hung up the phone and thought for a while, then asked Assistant Xiao: "You have time recently to help me look at the house. The area should be large, and the villa duplex is fine. The transportation should be convenient, and it should not be too far from Lanta. It is best to develop a new house. real estate."
Assistant Xiao agreed, took a phone to write it down, and asked a few more details.After asking, he realized belatedly, why did the boss buy a house so close to Lanta?
As soon as Tan Ke entered the venue, he was surrounded by people.
Over the years of Changjing, Tan Ke has pioneered the field of non-performing asset investment in the front, and Fang Xian has led the way in the back to build momentum. Relying on his own advantages in in-depth operations, he has made a big splash in the secondary market.
One article and one military, quite a bit of the meaning of meeting each other.
After the promulgation of new asset regulations at the end of last year, fixed-income products on the market plummeted, and investment channels narrowed.Investors hope that the return rate of the product is higher than that of the existing financial products, but they do not want to bear the risk of market fluctuations. An investment company like Long Whale, which has both hands and hands, immediately sprang up and became the focus of the industry and outside the industry.
Not long after Tan Ke sat down, someone came by next to him, wanting to change seats with Assistant Xiao.
Tan Ke looked up impatiently, it was Song Yi's brother Song Lian.Looking up again, Song Yi's father, Song Cheng, was also looking at the front row not far away.
Tan Ke nodded, Assistant Xiao got up immediately, smiled and asked Song Lian to sit down, and sat in the back by himself.
The presentation has begun.
The host came to the stage, read Song Cheng's name, and announced a long list of titles. At the end, everyone applauded, and Song Cheng took the stage to speak.
Song Lian, who was sitting next to him, said in a low voice: "My dad specially powdered it before going out today, in case he would be illuminated by the lights on the stage, and people would see that he hasn't slept well these days."
Selling a wave of misery first when you come up means asking for something.Tan Ke remained calm: "Uncle Song has been working too hard recently, he should take a good rest."
Song Lian had no choice but to make it clear: "He is for Song Yi's affairs."
He paused, seeing that Tan Ke had no intention of answering the conversation at all, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "Xiao Yi's article was found to be falsified and plagiarized by the journal, and he has reported to Lanzhou University. Now Lanzhou University insists We must dissuade Xiao Yi."
Song Cheng on the podium suddenly coughed, and the host hurriedly brought over a bottle of water.It took Song Cheng a while to recover, apologized to the audience below, and continued to speak.
Song Lian sighed, looked at his father worriedly, and continued: "The journal will not let go, and Lan Da has to deal with it strictly out of face. Xiao Yi has collapsed now."
He paused, and asked with great difficulty: "Look, can you ask Uncle Tan to come forward, find connections in the circle, and pass a message to the editor-in-chief of that journal. As long as they promise not to disclose this matter, Landa It’s easy to say over there. Xiaoyi is young and ignorant, and he is also responsible for not educating him well at home. But this time he really realized his mistake. It is not easy for him to study for this degree, and he will finally graduate. Now he is like this, He couldn't bear this kind of blow."
Tan Ke pondered for a while and didn't speak.
Song Lian and him grew up together when they were young.Song Lian's mother and his mother are colleagues.In the early years, Tan's father did not go home all the year round. Tan Ke and his mother lived in the compound of the District Art Troupe, and they were neighbors with the Song family.
When Song Yi was four or five years old, Tan's family moved away, but they still kept in touch.After Song Yi's mother passed away, the two families gradually stopped moving around, and when Tan Ke went to college, the relationship became even colder.
It wasn't until Tan Ke started to develop the domestic market a few years ago that he got acquainted again.
Tan Ke finally spoke: "Where is Song Yi now?"
Song Lian sighed: "Lock yourself up and don't eat or drink, saying that you have no face to see people, and cry every day." Seeing that Tan Ke seemed to be loosening up, he said, "You see, Xiao Yi has liked it for so many years..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped by Tan Ke's cold eyes.
"Actually, it might be better for you to go find it yourself." Tan Ke's voice was cold, "My relationship with my dad has been clear to you for so many years. If I open my mouth about this kind of thing, it will have the opposite effect."
The meeting is over, and there will be a dinner party later.
Tan Ke himself doesn't eat onion and garlic, so he can't eat the food outside without saying hello.He called two acquaintances in the industry, and planned to open another table in the hotel, and chat while eating.
While waiting for someone, he found time to call Xie Li.
"Li Li." Tan Ke stood in a secluded place, "May I ask the driver to pick you up in the afternoon? I may not be able to leave early."
Xie Li's voice was clear and full of vigor: "No, it's agreed that I will pick you up."
Tan Ke was helpless: "But I'm not in the company now, don't you want four o'clock? Why don't you ask the driver to pick you up directly at four o'clock."
Xie Li still refused to give up: "Then I will pick you up wherever you are, okay?" He was afraid that Tan Ke would not agree, so he emphasized, "You used to pick me up on dates before, but this time I will take you on a date. I also want to have a beginning and an end, okay?"
What could be wrong with this?If you want to pick the stars in the sky, you have to agree.
Tan Ke had no choice but to give an address, and told Xie Li to find a place to sit down and order something when he came, and he would go there after he was busy.
Xie Li happily agreed.
Xie Li packed a hiking bag that was almost half his height, which was found online.He checked it again, and before going out, he called the classmate who was on duty at the observatory today to reconfirm the things he wanted to borrow. Finally, he checked the time, checked the address, and went out happily.
His bag was too big and got stuck in the turnstile when entering the subway.Others passed by, and the bag was squeezed and couldn't get out.He was so anxious that he was like a puppy who was about to get out of a dog hole but got stuck in his fat butt, struggling to move his two thin legs.
In the end, the well-meaning passers-by and staff in the subway station couldn't stand it anymore, covered their mouths, giggled and rescued him together.
Xie Li blushed with embarrassment, why did it go so badly when she went out.
The place Tan Ke asked him to go was in the coffee shop on the ground floor of the hotel where the lecture was held.Tan Ke thought very well, Xie Li came and sat here and ordered a drink and cake, and after eating, he was probably over.
Unexpectedly, Xie Li was stopped by someone.
The waiter saw that Xie Li was dressed in ordinary clothes, was young, and was carrying a big old bag, and guessed that Xie Li was either a poor donkey friend who came to borrow the toilet, or a high school student who ran away from home.
He stopped Xie Li at the door: "We don't borrow toilets here. Go out and turn left and there is a McDonald's 500 meters away. Go there."
Xie Li was puzzled: "I don't borrow the toilet, I come in to wait for someone."
When the waiter heard this, he was even more reluctant: "Go, go, wait for someone, go out and wait by the side, don't block the door! This is not where you came from!"
Xie Li took a look through the glass. The people inside were in suits and leather shoes. He probably knew what the problem was.
He became angry, and reasoned with the waiter: "I come in to wait for someone, and I also consume, and I can spend money to buy things. Why don't you let me in? It's [-] years, are there still poor people who are not rich enough to enter?" Is it reasonable? You are just a waiter, and you are not the owner of this store. Why do you step up and step down like this? Others treat you as the same person, but you first draw a class for yourself. You won't let me in, so in your heart, do you deserve to enter this store?"
The little boy was not tall and looked not very old, but he had a sharp mouth. After talking on the phone, the waiter blushed and had no words to refute.
Tan Ke had changed into loose clothes, was talking with someone, and was walking into the coffee shop from the hotel when he happened to see this scene.
"Li Li." Tan Ke walked over quickly, reached out and took off the big bag on Xie Li's body first, "Why didn't you tell me you are carrying so many things?"
Xie Li didn't see him coming in and was startled.
The hotel manager who accompanied Tan Ke in was also taken aback.
The hotel under the name of this company was delivered to Long Whale Capital as a non-performing asset in the form of debt-to-share transfer last year. It belongs to the same hotel as the hotel that hosted the luncheon for the Hou Xue Award before, and it still has the operation supervisor of Long Whale. The team is inside.
Long Whale is the employer, the full controller, and the real big boss.
They also heard a little bit of the quarrel just now, and the hotel manager's face turned blue when he realized it.
Xie Li was carrying a big bag, and was arguing with others. He was hot and angry, and his face was flushed.
The manager hurried over and bowed to apologize. Only then did the waiter realize that something was wrong, his face turned pale, and he also bowed his head and apologized.
Tan Ke kept a cold face, holding Xie Li's hand and getting angry.
Xie Li tugged at his hand, and said, "Forget it, don't apologize. But don't do this again in the future. It doesn't respect others, and it doesn't respect yourself."
The manager smiled: "Yes, yes, you are right."
Xie Li pulled Tan Ke's hand: "Let's go."
He felt that it was not going well when he came out today, he was embarrassed in the subway, and was stopped by someone in the coffee shop, this date started very badly.
The driver pulled the car out.
Tan Ke held Xie Li's big bag and opened the door: "Hey, get in the car, okay. Where do you want to take me, let the driver take us there."
It was already like this, so Xie Li had no choice but to get in the car.
Assistant Xiao had never heard Tan Ke speak in such a tone, and was stunned.
Xie Li got into the car, and said discouragedly: "I want to take you to the Xiaosushan Observatory. Originally, I wanted to call an online car-hailing here, and I will tell you when I am halfway there. But now that you already know, you can't wait." No more surprises."
Concerned about Assistant Xiao and the driver in front of him, he suppressed his voice and whispered into Tan Ke's ear, making Tan Ke's heart almost melt.
Tan Ke simply brought Xie Li over and touched the child's back, only to find that he was covered in sweat.
"Why don't you tell me why you are so hot." Tan Ke felt distressed.
Xie Li was embarrassed to say that he was popular, so he lowered his head and did not speak.
Tan Ke coaxed him: "It's okay, I just know we're going, but I don't know what we're going to do."
Xie Li got up from Tan Ke's arms, and looked at him with a look of "do you think I'm a fool?": "You all know that we are going to the observatory, but don't you know that we are going to see the stars? "
Tan Ke spread his hands: "Li Li, you said it yourself."
Xie Li raised his chin: "But you only know half of it. You won't know the other half until you go there."
Tan Ke saw his proud little appearance, and he was moved for a moment, and pulled Xie Li over, wishing to rub him into his arms.
Assistant Xiao was sitting in front, his brain was on the verge of crashing due to the fast refresh rate and the large amount of data loaded.
Assistant Xiao was unwilling to die alone, and desperately sent messages to Fang Xian with his mobile phone in his arms.
[Xiao: Mr. Fang, have you ever met Mr. Tan in a relationship? 】
[Xiao: Mr. Fang, do you know Mr. Tan is in love? 】
[Xiao: Mr. Fang, do you think I can ask the proprietress for an autograph as a talisman? 】
Fang Xian ignored him.Assistant Xiao felt very lonely.
Xie Li fell asleep on Tan Ke's lap.He was seriously sleep deprived during this time, as long as his hands were clear, he would feel sleepy no matter where he sat for a while.
Tan Ke carefully supported Xie Li's head, put his arms around his waist and carried him into his arms, letting him sleep on his shoulders.
The little boy woke up in a daze, subconsciously reached out to hug Tan Ke's neck, leaned against the man's neck so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and muttered: "Are we here yet?"
Tan Ke coaxed him: "No, go to sleep, it will be better for a while."
He really believed it and fell asleep again.
The car stopped at the gate of the observation station.
The driver and Assistant Xiao did not dare to breathe.After a while, Assistant Xiao couldn't stand the frozen pink atmosphere, so he suggested in a low voice, "Why don't Brother Zhang and I go down first?"
Tan Ke looked at his watch, it was almost five o'clock.He guessed that Xie Li still had some plans, so he couldn't delay any longer, so he patted Xie Li on the back and called him up: "Li Li, we're here."
Assistant Xiao suffered another fatal blow without warning and almost fell to the ground on the spot.
Xie Li snorted, but was still awake, and squeezed himself into Tan Ke's arms.
He twisted for a long time, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong under his buttocks, which was weird.
He looked up at Tan Ke questioningly, and Tan Ke just happened to be looking at him leisurely.
Xie Li was still in a daze, so he fumbled down Mimi, and suddenly came to his senses. He was about to get up from Tan Ke's legs in a panic, but Tan Ke grabbed him and refused to leave.
Assistant Xiao felt that he was dead, and was dragged out of the coffin to flog the corpse.
Tan Ke finally took Xie Li out of the car.
Xie Li took the initiative to ask for the bag and carried it on his back, saying, "We'll be staying here tonight."
Assistant Xiao thought he was going to live in the observation station, so he looked at Tan Ke: "Then boss, shall we pick you up early tomorrow morning?"
Tan Ke went to see Xie Li, Xie Li shook his head, and waved his hand proudly: "It's okay, I will send Tan Ke back."
Assistant Xiao couldn't tell whether the dog food was sour or sweet or silent, and he just wanted to get out of this suffocating place quickly.
Tan Ke thought that Xie Li was going to take him into the observation station, but Xie Li was carrying a big bag, told him to wait, and ran into the observation station by himself.After a while, he came out again with a huge bag on his back.
The two bags together are bigger than Xie Liren. Tan Ke was terrified when he saw it, and insisted on getting one for him.
Xie Li ducked back: "I can recite well, don't worry about it. Today you just have to follow me and have fun."
After he finished speaking, he was still a little worried, so he pulled Tan Ke and asked, "Do you guess what we are doing here?"
Tan Ke pretended not to know.
So Xie Li was even more proud: "Then just wait, you will know right away."
Lancheng is near the water, the overall terrain is gentle, and the altitude of Xiaosu Mountain is not very high, and the observation station is built on the top of the mountain.
Xie Li took Tan Ke along the trail for about half an hour, climbing from the observation station to the other side of the mountain.
Turning around the woods, a flat meadow suddenly opened up in front of my eyes.The weeds grow up to the height of a human calf, and there are dots of wild flowers in the middle.The summer wind blows slowly, which immediately makes people feel refreshed.
Xie Li turned around as if claiming credit, his eyes brightened: "Isn't it great? No one came here, and we discovered it when the observatory started construction."
There was no one in the field, Tan Ke couldn't help but put his arms around him and kissed him: "It's great, it's really great."
Xie Li put down his backpack, took off the moisture-proof pad and spread it for Tan Ke: "You just sit here and wait for me."
Tan Ke could see that Xie Li had to take care of him today.
The tent was newly bought, and Xie Li learned how to set it up with others when he bought it.
Lay the ground cloth first and spread out the tent.The tent stick is stretchable, and it will automatically stretch out when the two ends are pulled.Two tent sticks are crossed through the drawstrings on the top of the tent, inserted into the pins at the four corners of the tent, and finally the eight drawstrings on the four sides of the tent are tied to the tent sticks.
Tan Ke wanted to help several times, but Xie Li refused firmly.
The tent was pitched.
Xie Li wiped off his sweat, stood with his hips akimbo in front of the tent he had built, with a proud face on his face: "How is it?"
Xie Li's world is small, and it is enough for him to smile contentedly by setting up a tent for his beloved.
Xie Li's world is also very big, his gaze is on the vast universe, and his heart is full of stars and oceans.
Tan Ke couldn't speak, but felt that his heart was shaking.
He has never felt so happy for himself to have such a person as he is now.
He didn't speak, stood up with a smile, walked up to Xie Li, bent down and hugged Xie Li without warning.
Xie Li was nervous for a moment at first, and tugged on the man's collar. Then he found that the embrace was solid and reliable, so he immediately let go of his arms and opened his arms, like a bird with wings stretched, waiting for the first gust of wind to take off. .
He yelled happily: "Round around! I want to spin around!"
So he greeted the wind with his open arms.The sky suddenly became very close, and the colors of the wildflowers mingled like stars in a distant sky.
Xie Li's laughter rolled down the hillside, rolled all the way into the Lanjiang River, mixed with the rising water vapor into the rainwater, mixed into the clouds, and was lifted by the lightning in the troposphere to jump on his buttocks, and jumped out of the atmosphere.
The whole universe is witnessing his joy.
Tan Ke stopped.
Xie Li's head was dizzy, he kept giggling, holding Tan Ke's head, and randomly printed his own saliva marks everywhere.
"Tan Ke, I like you, I like you so much, I like you so much." He was dizzy and repeated incoherently.
Tan Ke held Xie Li's buttocks and held him tightly in his arms, like holding the most beloved child.
Tan Ke had two boyfriends.One when I was studying for a PhD, and one when I was working.
The one who was studying for a Ph.D. was when he was confused about his sexuality.
Tan Ke was liked by girls since he was a child, but he didn't like any of them.His family has high hopes for him, and his life ideals and goals are in front of him, so he has no intention of falling in love.
Until I went abroad, the classmate said jokingly, maybe he likes men.
There are also men who chase after him, but he didn't take it to heart before.Since then, he began to pay attention, and he realized that the man's body is very beautiful.
The first boyfriend hit me like that.Tan Ke tried it and found that he liked a man, but he didn't like this man, so he broke up happily.
The other party was a free and easy person, he didn't want to keep him, but threw himself into the arms of his new lover instead.
The second is when I first entered Huajie.The pressure of work, the incomprehension of his family, and the heavy things wrapped him up.There was a handsome co-worker who was his partner at the same time. When a big order ended, a group of people celebrated together, and the quarrel fell on the two of them.
Tan Ke felt good, and pushed the boat along the way, and then found out that this person sold junk bonds but falsely reported the risks.
Without further ado, he broke off again.
My aunt said he was eating fast food, but Tan Ke didn't think my aunt was wrong.But he is too busy, his world is too flashy and chaotic, too luxurious.The longer he stays in this circle, the harder it is for him to get interested in getting close to someone. Those good-natured souls under the beautiful skin make him feel that it is a waste of time.
But being with Xie Li made him feel that every second was so happy that it was precious.
For the first time, Tan Ke felt that what my sister-in-law said was true, not chicken soup.
"Guji", Xie Li's stomach growled.
Xie Li smiled and jumped off Tan Ke: "I'm so hungry, let's eat first."
He ran to get his bag.
Xie Li's bag was like a treasure bag. Tan Ke watched him take out the alcohol stove, cooking pot, instant noodles, and finally even took out two cans of beer.
"Dangdang!" Xie Li stuffed the beer into Tan Ke's arms, excited, "We can still drink together tonight!"
Xie Li stood up holding a bunch of things: "Okay, I'm going to cook. You just watch from the side, don't interfere!"
Tan Ke was holding two cans of beer that had been covered warmly in his bag, and his heart was also covered warmly.He knew that Xie Li was very busy recently, so busy that he even had time to eat and sleep.
Xie Li didn't have many things, but he picked out the best of them and held them in front of him.
Teach him how to be impassive?
Xie Li picked a place leeward away from the tent, and according to the teaching on the Internet, first step on the grass, spread the fireproof cloth, and then set up the alcohol stove and pot one by one.He tore open a pack of quick octopus sausages, and fried them in a pan until the four claws were lifted up and opened their teeth, and the aroma immediately wafted.
Tan Ke hesitated for a moment, but still walked over: "Li Li, don't put onion, ginger and garlic."
Xie Li paused while pouring water into the pot, but without asking, he readily agreed: "Okay, then don't let it go."
Tan Ke doesn't want to eat seasonings, and Xie Li simply doesn't even put the sauce packets of instant noodles.Pull out a pack of beef jerky from the bag, tear it into strips, throw it into the pot, and cook it with the noodles.
After cooking for a while and lifting the lid, it still smells a little fragrant.
When Xie Li put out the fire and brought the pot over, he was still a little apprehensive, afraid that Tan Ke would not want to eat such rough things.
While Xie Li was cooking, Tan Ke found a few more stones and strengthened the tent that Xie Li had built.As soon as he finished it, Xie Li came over with the pot.
"It's my first time cooking something, so I don't know if it's delicious." Xie Li was a little nervous, and handed the pair of chopsticks to Tan Ke.
Since he was a child, he had no chance to learn how to cook.This time, in order to take Tan Ke out for camping, he ran to the dormitory next door to ask for advice temporarily.
Xiao Wu said that cooking instant noodles is the easiest, and it will definitely be delicious.It turned out that Tan Ke didn't eat seasoning, so let's add some beef jerky.
He handed it to Tan Ke's mouth as if offering a treasure: "Taste it quickly."
Tan Ke took the chopsticks, chewed them twice, and swallowed them without changing his expression, with a smile on his usual face: "It's delicious, Li Li is so delicious."
Xie Li was happy when he heard it: "Really?" He said that he was about to eat with chopsticks.
Tan Ke turned away and refused to give it to him: "What you make for me is mine. Well, I allow you to have snacks for dinner today."
Xie Li was dubious, but couldn't grab him, and watched Tan Ke eat a pot of noodles for two people.
Tan Ke chewed the noodles, thinking in his heart that Xie Li must not be allowed to cook after living together in the future, and find a nanny if he has no time.Although he doesn't like outsiders in his home, it's better than letting Xie Li cook in the dark.
After Tan Ke finally finished the pot of noodles, Xie Li was already unpacking the bag from the observation station with a chocolate bar in his mouth.
Xie Li set up the tripod, installed the lens barrel, and nimbly screwed the small screws on the finderscope with soft fingers until there was only a little gap left, and then installed the eyepiece.
Xie Li played with that equipment, like a little boy playing with his favorite car, skillfully and carefully, humming a song in a good mood.
I don't know what song it is, the tune is lingering, and the simple lyrics are repeated over and over again, like an endless love song.
"Half Moon Climbs Up..."
"Yilala, climb up..."
"On my girl's dresser..."
The young people, the singing, the telescope, and the sky weave into a dream that Tan Ke cannot describe in words, a dream that is close at hand, a dream that belongs to him.
The twilight is coming together, the afterglow of the setting sun is gradually fading, and a shining bright star appears in the western sky.
The singing boy suddenly turned around, slammed into Tan Ke's eyes staring at his back, and called his name: "Tan Ke."
Tan Ke came over.
Xie Li stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky: "Look, that is Venus." He took Tan Ke's hand and directed him to look at the eyepiece, "Is it very bright? When I first took the observation class, I almost thought that was Venus." Airplane lights."
The planet in the eyepiece was only the size of a crescent on a fingernail, and more than half was hidden in shadow.
Xie Li was not without regrets: "This is a teaching mirror for undergraduate students to observe. It can only see this level. No matter how good it is, we can't borrow it."
He adjusted the angle of the eyepiece again, fiddled with it for a while, and reached out to pull Tanke: "Look at Mars, this is the clearest! You can also see the dust storm!"
Xie Li is like a child, tirelessly looking for the planets in the solar system, and introducing each of his toys to Tan Ke.Sometimes Tan Ke is too slow to watch, and the planet drifts away, and he will jump anxiously.
"Jupiter is the most beautiful. I like Jupiter the most, like a beautiful big bead." Xie Li picked up the cover that was neatly folded aside and put it on the telescope. "Neptune is also beautiful, but this one can't see it." Now, only one point can be seen."
He clapped his hands: "Okay, now we've finished watching everything we can. Then we'll have to wait. We won't be able to watch until the moon goes down at 01:30."
Xie Li pulled Tan Ke back into the tent.
It was pitch black in the tent.Xie Li took advantage of the light from his mobile phone, pouted his buttocks to look for outdoor lights in his bag, and pulled everything out.
Tan Ke casually picked up a large bag of cloth that Xie Li threw out, shook it open, and found that it was a sleeping bag for two people.
Tan Ke stared at the double sleeping bag, and said calmly: "Li Li."
Xie Li was still looking for the outdoor light: "Hey, I put it on... I found it!"
He happily turned around with the lamp in his hand, and as soon as his fingers touched the push-pull switch, he was roughly pulled into his arms by Tan Ke.
The inside of the tent suddenly lit up, and the outdoor lights rolled to the ground.
Xie Li was pressed on the moisture-proof mat by Tan Ke, nose to nose.
Tan Ke kissed him restrainedly and gently, from the corners of the lips to the tip of the nose, to the end of the eyes with trembling eyelashes, to the smooth and beautiful forehead.He kissed solemnly, without a hint of lust, as if there were countless words that could not be said, and they wanted to be passed into Xie Li's heart through the kiss between lips and tongue.
Tan Ke put his hand on Xie Li's forehead, brushing away the broken hair on his forehead.
The little boy's forehead is beautiful and smooth, with a full curvature, but he always likes to cover it with bangs.Tan Ke caressed carefully, and suddenly his fingers touched a thin and hard bump.
Xie Li also felt something, and hastily stretched out his hand to hold his hand: "There is a scar there."
Xie Li became nervous for some reason, and suddenly pushed Tan Ke away and got up: "You, don't..."
Tan Ke noticed Ai Ai's uneasy look: "What's the matter, Li Li?"
Xie Li reached out to touch the scar on his forehead.
It was a fight.
It was him in the orphanage who was robbed of his belongings, and was suddenly shoved onto the edge of the table, with a burning pain on his forehead.So he angrily pushed the opponent down, rode under him and beat him hard.
The teacher led a couple who were willing to adopt him into the activity room, and happened to see the scene where he was bleeding on his forehead and beating someone like a little red-eyed Yaksha.
That scar became a mark on him, a mark of no father and no mother.
Xie Li sometimes felt that there was nothing wrong with the orphan, and it wasn't his fault.
But sometimes he is constantly reminded that he is incomplete, incomplete, and different from others.
Tan Ke didn't know what happened, but saw Xie Li's face suddenly dimmed.
He moved over to hug Xie Li, ignored Xie Li's weak resistance, hugged his thin body tightly in his arms, and kissed the little boy's heart.
Tan Ke's arms are domineering, but Xie Li feels safe.He pulled out his arm, climbed onto the man's shoulder, half-kneeled in Tan Ke's arms, and said solemnly, "I want to tell you something about me."
Tan Ke felt his uneasiness, hugged him tightly, and joked with him: "What's the matter? Are you going to tell me that you are actually a little dragon?"
Xie Li's original solemn mood was suddenly lost, and he raised his head full of doubts: "What is Xiaolongman?"
It is rare in Tan Ke's life that he is so stuffed up that he can't speak.
He suddenly remembered that Xie Li was less than 21 years old this year, born in [-], and he was almost the same generation as him.
Of course, Xie Li didn't know what Xiaolongren was.
Tan Ke didn't want to explain to Xie Li the huge generation gap between him and himself, so he had to drag back the topic: "What did you say you were going to tell me just now?"
Xie Li buried her head on Tan Ke's shoulder again, and said in a muffled voice, "Then let me tell you, don't be surprised, and don't ask me many questions."
Tan Ke stroked his back: "Okay. I won't ask anything."
So Xie Li stuck to Tan Ke's ear and whispered: "I don't have parents, I'm an orphan.I grew up in an orphanage. "
He paused, then added: "I don't have a nickname. Only you once called me Lili."
