At the end of June.

 

A small typhoon landed in the coastal area of Dongcheng, stirring the clouds in the sky in several circles, whipping up the seawater in layers of swelling waves, and causing thunderstorms in the middle of the night. The next day, after sunrise, the temperature increased steeply.

 

The roses in the Yin family's small garden were destroyed by last night's typhoon and heavy rain, they rolled down miserably on the wet stone path, so the housekeeper was having people sweep them up.

 

Yin Che was leaning over the window and watching quietly, and occasionally, his eyes would land on his phone screen to check on the group chat.

 

The summer vacation came after the college entrance exams, suddenly there was nothing to do but relax. The students who were accustomed to high pressure had been idle for nearly a month, so they could not stand the emptiness anymore. These days, Zhang Ke, who felt the most anxious, had been shouting in the group: [Let's go on a graduation trip!] He was like a broken record who constantly repeated the same words.

 

Before the college entrance exam, Class 1 students did agree to travel together after the exam, but unfortunately, plans can't catch up with changes. Once the exam was over, some went on a trip with their families, and some didn't do well in the exam and didn't want to go out. For various reasons, they delayed time and again, and now it was almost time to start sending acceptance letters to various colleges and universities, but they still haven't discussed where to travel.

 

[Anywhere but the beach, I got 2nd-degree burns last year, it was hard to gain a little bit of white back.] said Han Meng.

 

Guo Zhixiong: [How about going mountain climbing?]

 

Chen Yingying: [Mountain climbing, with his physical strength?]

 

Han Meng: [Yes, only Yingying is being considerate of me].

 

Chen Yingying: [?]

 

Zhang Ke: [Since you two started going out, I suddenly feel that Brother Yao and Brother Che's cp is not so magical, and their show of affection is not so unbearable to watch.]

 

Jiang Yao appeared out of nowhere: [Where are we magical? We are clearly a match made in heaven, thank you.]

 

Yin Che saw his reply and clicked on his avatar to poke him privately: [Didn't you say you were sleeping?]

 

The last message that was sent out was Jiang Yao's "good night" half an hour ago, accompanied by a fleshy kissing emoji.

 

Although they seemed to be stuck together like glue, in reality, they have not seen each other for more than a month.

 

After the exam, Jiang Yao was taken to Germany by his father to visit his grandparents. According to his father, in order not to disturb his studies, he has not been allowed to return to Germany during the summer and winter vacations for the past three years, and now that he has time after the exams, it is reasonable for him to go back.

 

According to Jiang Yao, his father simply wants to break up this pair of Mandarin ducks.

[T/N: The whole phrase means breaking up a pair of lovers or a couple, or forcing them to break up.]

 

"My father must have thought I was playing again and deliberately separated us! He wants to test our relationship! It's okay, I'll prove to him that I'm serious about you! Wait for me to come back!!!"

 

After receiving this message, Yin Che called Jiang Yao, but his phone was turned off and it took twelve hours to get through, so he didn't say much, only asking what day he would be back.

 

Originally it was said to be two weeks, but the grandparents had not seen their grandson for a long time, so they forced Jiang Yao to stay for a few more days. The time difference between Germany and China was seven hours, moreover, they had to accompany their own families, so the time they had to talk to each other was very limited. But last night it was thundering and raining, so Jiang Yao turned on the video and talked with him all night until he fell asleep.

 

[The cat just woke up and wanted to sleep under my blanket.] Jiang Yao sent a helpless emoji.

 

[Oh.] After Yin Che finished typing his reply, he felt it was slightly cold, so he added, [Next Friday, I will pick you up from the airport].

 

Jiang Yao immediately replied: [Don't, you will bump into my father].

 

[So what?]

 

[I'm afraid he'll reveal my past history, and I must be perfect in your mind!]

 

[You weren't perfect either before.]

 

[What's not perfect? You tell me, I'll improve it.]

 

Yin Che's finger paused on the keyboard for a long time before moving up: [Let's talk later, you should go to sleep soon, it's already 1:00 am].

 

After finishing their chat, he switched back to the class group. Zhang Ke was no longer alone. He had several allies in the group who continued to lobby everyone to go on the graduation trip together.

 

They publicized their plan for many days until the day the tickets had to be booked, convincing a total of ten or so students to participate. A certain someone did not say much on the surface but was privately quite concerned. He kept bombarding Yin Che with private messages until the latter was so overwhelmed, he had no other choice but to reply, "I know, I was planning to go too."

 

Jiang Yao: "How nice, I can sleep with you in my arms again."

 

When Yin Che received this message, he was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep. After coming here once, the bed he was lying on was left with a very strong smell from Jiang Yao, so strong that he was embarrassed to let the housekeeper come in to clean up the room for a while, but now, it was completely cleaned up.

 

He hadn't seen him for almost a month, and he knew it would not be as simple as just cuddling and sleeping. Also, that person didn't mention anything about his birthday which was at the end of the month, so he probably forgot all about it.

 

Well, Yin Che thought, he finally found a flaw in this man. The next time he was asked, he wouldn't be so speechless.
