Chapter 98
"Come in...do you want to help?"

Holding the door against Han Yi with his back, Xu Yiru put his hands lightly on the handle, looked at Han Yi who put the four bags on his wrist one by one, and asked.

Xu Yiru was not surprised at the fact that Han Yi directly reached the nineteenth floor without an access card, and did not need to deliberately ask.The former came here to pick her up too many times, and he has become good friends with the front desk.Seeing Han Yi appearing, Javier or John would call him up without him needing to speak.

"It's okay, it's not heavy."

Obviously, Han Yi's body and mouth were not in the same frequency. He put the paper bag on the island of the open kitchen with great difficulty, and he finally couldn't help but exhale.

For bottles and cans, the weight is still a bit specific.

"What did you bring?"

If Han Yi doesn't say anything, she will never touch it.Xiaoru propped her hands on the island platform, squinted her almond eyes, and smiled like a little beckoning cat.

"What else can Uncle Quide have?" Han Yi took out a bottle of black stuff from his bag and stuffed it into Xu Yiru's arms, "It's all food, it's necessary to continue life at the end of the term."

"It's the end of the semester!" Xiao Ru turned the bottle over and couldn't help laughing, "Cold brew coffee concentrate...concentrate!"

"It can be exchanged for nine cups, one cup a day, enough to last until the end of the semester."

While rambling on, Han Yi picked and picked in the bag.

"This dried orange is delicious, with a refreshing sweetness, not too greasy, and it can be soaked in water to drink."

"Here, their new oat milk. I know you don't drink milk for breakfast, so this can be a substitute. I've tried it, and it's good enough to speak for itself."

"Oh yes, and mini cones! I just saw this thing today, and I prepared a box for each flavor for you to try."

"The rest... let me take a look, shrimp steak burger, soup dumplings, Thai shrimp dumplings, Kung Pao chicken glutinous rice balls. Well, I brought all the Asian fast food they have over there. No need If you spend more time cooking, just hit a dozen in the microwave..."

At first, Xiaoru tilted her head and stared at Han Yi with a smile, without making a sound or moving away.But as the latter took out more and more things from the butter paper bag, the smile on her face became weaker and weaker.

In the end, the curvature of the corners of the mouth became almost invisible, and Xu Yiru's expression was covered with a thin layer of mist.

"I went to H Mart to shop."

She whispered in a very thin voice.

Every time before the final exam, every holiday that does not leave Los Angeles to go back to Baodao to reunite with her mother, Xiaoru will drag her luggage alone to H Mart, the nearest Korean town to the apartment, to buy enough for her to stay until the end of the semester or the holiday. Food, cook and eat by yourself.

He obviously knew it.

"There's no more room in the refrigerator."

"You're so busy that you don't even touch the floor, and you're cooking for yourself." Han Yi curled his lips, and opened the refrigerator door, "And look at this."

Han Yi shook the Duoshile instant noodles that he took out from the refrigerator.

"It's not as good as the one I bought for you. We Chinese people can't, at least shouldn't, eat this kind of thing."

"Oh."

Xu Yiru walked towards Han Yi, put his hands behind his back, stood on tiptoe, and answered softly.

"The main reason is that there is only Uncle Quide on the way here, and it would be too far to go around San Gabriel, otherwise I will give you some Dahua stuff... Hey, yes, I have time in these two days, I will go to Dahua , I’ll buy you some wax gourd tea or something to clear away the heat.”

There are nagging in my ears that I can't get tired of listening to, and in front of my eyes is the sunlight slanting in from outside the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall.

No. 1902, which is as small as rented, belongs to the east tower of The Vermont Twin Towers. Therefore, looking out from the west of the apartment, it is the west tower that is closer to Wilshere Avenue than the east tower.Extend the line of sight to the north, and the Hollywood sign can be seen.

In the afternoon, the sun slanting to the west just hangs on the top of Hollywood Hills, and this is the only time in a day when the sun can pass through the barrier of the west tower and shine into the room from the left side.

Countless beams of light passed through the glass, folded into the room, gathered in one place, and poured unreservedly on Han Yi's body, putting a faded filter of the golden age on him, a soft white light that was dense and dusty.

Standing in Xiaoru's position, she could only see Han Yi's side face and his back, which became wider and wider as time went by.

"Love is the ghost that brews the wine,

Take a firm grip on the restless heart of the sun.

Heart of the sun, heart of the sun...

Have you seen that man who is asking the sky? "

For some reason, Pink Floyd's "Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun" suddenly appeared in Xu Yiru's mind.Xiaoru doesn't listen to rock very much, but the lyrics written by Roger Waters, who is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, are her true love.

If you don't explore it carefully, no one will know that this space rock and avant-garde music that sounds full of deep sadness is actually the words written by Roger Waters inspired by Li He, Du Mu and Li Shangyin.

It is more of a borrowing than an inspiration, "seeing the night rails temporarily", "how many branches shake the dawn", "an inch of lovesickness and an inch of gray", "how many green lotuses rely on each other and hate each other"... These meaningful and profound poems are all captured. Jay Waters completely moved into the mood of the song.

Of course, it also includes Li He's "Gongwu Going Out", which describes Qu Yuan's sentence "the public reads the wall script and asks the sky".

From Xu Yiru's point of view, the current Han Yi is the man who asks the sky.

He spent almost all of his time building the magnificent entertainment kingdom in his heart.That drive and passion does not come entirely from the confidence of wealth, and the continuous accumulation of fame and power.

Xiao Ru didn't know if her guess was right or not, but she felt that this was different from ordinary people's persistence and focus, maybe it was because of... anger and unwillingness.

Why would you be unwilling?
He obviously has it all.

Where did the despair that seemed to be lost, and the struggle to climb after regaining a glimmer of life come from?

Seemingly familiar but incomparably unfamiliar mysteries are the most curious and uncontrollable things to touch.

When Xu Yiru came to her senses, her fingertips were only a few inches away from Han Yi's waist.

I can even smell the smell that has been stored in my memory since I woke up in the theater.

"what's wrong?"

Realizing that Xu Yiru was approaching, Han Yi, who was still tidying up the refrigerator, turned his head and asked.

"You have dust on your clothes."

Dusting Han Yi's shirt casually with his palm, Xiao Ru felt that his skill of not blushing without heartbeat was getting more and more exquisite.

Just now, if it was not the hand that was pasted, but the cheek, maybe there would be no such bubbling little annoyance in my heart now?
However, if you do that, what will be waiting for you?

I won't settle for less, but I'm willing to wait for more.

do not forget.

Reminding herself in her heart, Xu Yiru took a deep breath, bypassed Han Yi, and took out the half bottle of oolong tea from the refrigerator.

"I'll pour you some."

Watching the water level of the dark liquid gradually rise in the glass, Xu Yiru found a topic to distract himself.

"How was Dua-Lipa yesterday? Did we talk about it?"

"We haven't officially started negotiating the agreement yet, but I feel like it's almost there." Han Yi cleared out a vacant space in the refrigerator, turned around, and moved the things he bought from Trader Joe's one by one, "1500 million US dollars , and also offered a position as a senior partner of TGO, if he does it himself, when will he earn so much money."

"Yeah." Now Xu Yiru didn't persuade Han Yi to act cautiously, and he didn't listen to it, and it seemed that he would not be able to spend all the money in a while.It doesn't matter even if the flowers are over, it's okay for Xiaoru to raise a little otaku who doesn't move much, "Then what's the plan for next week, won't you have to fly around? It's only a week before graduation."

"Not flying for now."

Han Yi nodded and agreed.

"Next week, I will definitely have to finish the final first, but there is nothing special to prepare... I have obtained the admission certificate, and it doesn't matter if my credits drop a little. I don't care if it is Magna cum Laude or Summa cum Laude."

"It's so loud." Xu Yiru added a little sugar to the oolong tea, and smiled secretly, "Then are you sure you'll stay at USC? Why don't you go to Columbia or Penn? Ivy."

What she wants to say in her heart is the same, but Xu Yiru won't put anxious expectations on her face like Zhao Youzhen.

Say the right thing, say the hard word softly, and tell the truth... then don't say a word.

"Do you look down on your alma mater, Xiaoru, you are now an honorary alumnus with a donation record."

Han Yi didn't answer Xu Yiru's question directly, but just expressed his choice with a joke.

"Besides, no one is watching you in LA, how can I rest assured...Look, what did you put in the refrigerator?"

Han Yi took out a box of facial masks from the refrigerator and put them on the island, with a look of hatred on his face.

"This is for storage in the refrigerator. You still tell me if you don't know." Xiaoru glared at Han Yi, then put the carefully sealed box back to its original place, "I don't have any common sense in life. I take care you."

"Speaking of taking care, didn't you say you were going to start cooking?"

"Then where is the time now? Wait until the final exam is over."

Perhaps this kind of conversation is too similar to the daily life between young couples, a name suddenly flashed in Xu Yiru's mind.

"By the way, is Auntie coming this time?"

"Where are you coming from?"

"Graduation ceremony." Xu Yiru raised his voice, "University graduation, parents should be there."

"Oh, yes, I'm coming." Han Yi thought for a while, then nodded, "Not only her, but also my grandma."

"That's pretty good." Xiaoru tilted her head, thinking for a moment, "Then I'll cook when they come over. Hehe, with the help of Alex and Harold, it's easy."

"There's no time for that."

Han Yi lowered his head to drink his tea, and quickly dismissed the topic with a calm expression.

"This time the trip is very urgent, so we should stay in a hotel near the school. After the graduation ceremony, we will take them three times on Highway [-], and then go directly to Las Vegas when they come back. My mother comes a lot, But grandma is here for the first time, so I have to show her more places to play."

This is a strategy that Han Yi has long thought of. He has a full schedule and tries not to stay in LA for too long. In a week, let his mother and grandma have a great time, and they should be able to barely pass.

It's not that they don't want them to enjoy the luxury of No. 864 Stella Della Road, the main reason is that they can use the house as a cover outside, but in front of their close relatives, it is impossible to hide how many money they should have in their pockets according to common sense. of.

During this period of time, Han Yi has been using "found a job", "appreciated by the boss", and "signed a new contract for me to take over" as a foreshadowing, step by step, steadily presenting the wealth that will be revealed to them in the future.

As a graduate of the music industry, it makes sense to stay and work for a music company in Los Angeles in the summer, right?
When you're working, it's very reasonable to sign a new contract and let yourself lead it, right?
Take it to the fire, get the commission and get soft, so as to earn the first pot of gold... Reasonable enough to be written in textbooks, right?

As for whose name this newcomer should apply, it depends on who can make achievements in the shortest time, including Billy, Madison, Horch, Anne-Marie and Dua Lipa.

"What about you? What are the arrangements for the summer vacation?" Han Yi shifted the topic of the conversation to Xu Yiru, so as not to make too many mistakes.

"I'm going to summer." Xiaoru and Han Yi tidied up together, and after putting the last bag of instant food in the refrigerator, she clapped her hands and said, "The 300 course has not been finished yet, and I have to choose another course from the institute. class, otherwise there is no way to graduate on time.”

"Really plan to graduate in four years?"

This time, Han Yi's eyes flickered.

He walked slowly to the living room, looking at the sweeping view of the USC campus to the south of The Vermont.

"Anchor Xiao Xu... ready to debut?"

"I don't know." Xu Yiru stared blankly at Han Yi's back, and she found that she had been looking at him from this angle recently.

"Besides, even if you graduate in four years, there are still two years left. What's the rush?"

It seemed to be an answer to Han Yi, and it also seemed to be an explanation to himself.She pressed her right hand with her left hand and placed it in front of her body.

"Let me enjoy college life first, and think about the rest later."

"Okay." Han Yi turned his head, smiled at her, and said nothing.

"Miss Yuzhen?"

"I don't know." Han Yi took out his mobile phone, "Ask me? See if we want to have a meal together at night."

"Okay, after I finish the last page of reference, this professor requires APA format, which is a little troublesome." At this point, Xu Yiru raised her hand in the air, "Wait a minute, before calling... Guess Miss Yuzhen is here now Why? If you can guess, I will treat you tonight."

"Didn't you deliver food to my mouth?"

Han Yi rolled his eyelids with some amusement.

"What else is she doing? She must be working out."

"Ah sneeze!"

The sneeze and the ringtone of the phone rang at the same time, Zhao Youzhen frowned suspiciously, and after seeing the name displayed on the screen, the wrinkles on his forehead stretched out again.

"Hi."

"What are you doing?"

Hearing Han Yi's question on the other end of the phone, Zhao Youzhen looked down at the gummy bear in his arms.

"What about fitness?"

"Ha, I'll just say..."

"what?"

"It's okay. Why do you still have the sound of TV dramas when you are exercising?"

"Treadmill TV."

Zhao Youzhen muted the Macbook, shutting up Pablo Escobar, played by Wagner de Mara.

"Okay... Do you want to have dinner together tonight? You, me, Xiao Xu, the three of us."

"it is good!"

Hearing the sound of the horn for dinner, Zhao Youzhen excitedly jumped up from the beanbag sofa, but accidentally touched the corner of the tea table with his toes.This is said to be the most intense short-term pain that human beings can experience. Yuzhen gasped, fell down on the bed, and curled up covering her feet.

"What's the matter with you? Did you hit it?"

Even Han Yi on the other end of the phone could clearly hear the sound of the collision.

"No, it's fine..."

Youzhen buried her face deeply in the quilt, and after a few seconds, she regained the strength to speak.

"...Where are you going? I'll come to you after I change my clothes."
