Cool Slowly

Chapter 4 That Summer

The summer of 2013 was exceptionally hot. Yu Yue was drowsy in the bus from Xicheng District of City A to Dongcheng District. Although the air conditioner was on, the sunlight outside the window shone on his skin, warm and hot, which was very uncomfortable.

Yu Jingnian, who was driving, and Jiang Qian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, were whispering to each other. Their voices were low, but as long as they were talking, their presence could not be eliminated. Yu Yue could always hear a sentence or two about his high school life in his sleep. He could not help but frowning and wanted to change to a more comfortable sleeping position. As a result, his head hit the cabinet next to him with a "bang".

Yu Yue woke up suddenly from the pain.

The talking in the front seat also stopped.

Yu Yue opened his eyes and saw himself curled up in the back seat in a very uncomfortable posture. On each side was a cabinet made of mahogany, which was filled with Yu Jingnian's treasures - the plays he had directed himself.

Yu Yue was not very tall, only about 1.78 meters, but it was painful enough for him to be in such a space.

Jiang Qian, who was sitting in the front seat, turned around and looked at Yu Yue. He asked in a soft, tentative voice, "Did you hit your head?"

Yu Yue lowered his head, holding his head with one hand which had just hit the cabinet, and did not speak for a long time.

Jiang Qian also seemed a little cautious, "We're almost there, hold on a little longer."

Yu Jingnian also glanced at Yu Yue in the rearview mirror and said jokingly, "Those are treasures, treasures more precious than you. Don't break them, or I would have called a moving company long ago."

Hearing Yu Jingnian say this, Yu Yue became more and more annoyed.

When he was in a bad mood, he just kept silent, bit his lips, and looked aggrieved and angry.

Jiang Qian smiled at this, stretched out his hand, and poked the soft flesh on one side of Yu Yue's cheek, where there was still baby fat, "Well, if you hadn't chosen to study in such a far high school, we wouldn't have to move with you, right?"

Yu Yue finally spoke: "I said I can live on campus."

Yu Jingnian looked serious for a moment in the rearview mirror and frowned, "You're talking about living on campus again? Look at yourself, can you live without us? You're just a young master, you can't even wash your clothes or make your bed, how can you live on campus?"

Yu Yue turned his head and looked out the window.

His eyes were a little red and the tip of his nose was also red.

Jiang Qian saw it and said to Yu Jingnian, "Okay, stop talking about your son."

Yu Jingnian finally shut up.

Because the back seat was very crowded with almost no place to stand, Yu Yue could only sit with his knees hugged. He looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, and gradually, a tree-lined avenue came into his sight.

Yu Yue's eyes lit up.

He had seen pictures online. This was the tree-lined path in front of the gate of No. 3 Middle School!

Yu Yue immediately became alert, climbed up, climbed onto the mahogany cabinet and looked out of the car window. Sure enough, not long after, Yu Jingnian passed by the gate of No. 3 Middle School.

In order to let Yu Yue have a better look, Yu Jingnian deliberately slowed down his driving speed.

Jiang Qian was also looking out the window.

"It looks pretty good," she said.

"No. 3 Middle School has the best reputation among the four famous schools in City A!" Yu Yue suddenly forgot everything that happened before, and said to Jiang Qian and Yu Jingnian excitedly, "I have checked it out. Their facilities are also very good. There are air conditioners in the classrooms..."

Yu Jingnian snorted and laughed, "You went there just for the air conditioning."

Yu Yue: "..."

His brows drooped instantly and he didn't intend to continue talking to Yu Jingnian.

However, the grandeur of the gate of No. 3 Middle School and the white pillar engraved with the school's name made Yu Yue feel particularly fond of it. He became more and more convinced that he had made the right choice of the school, even though Yu Jingnian and Jiang Qian wanted Yu Yue to go to No. 1 Middle School at the beginning because it was close to home and there were teachers they knew there.

Yu Jingnian walked around the school gate and then drove to his new home.

It's not really a new home, though.

This is the villa that Yu Jingnian bought here in his early years. No one has lived in it for about five years, but someone has been hired to take care of it.

After driving back to the villa area, Yu Yue leaned back in the car seat and sent a message to his childhood friend on his mobile phone.

My childhood friend's name is Shan Hang, and his name means "Hang not the one in Hangzhou".

Yu Yue's Q name is "is a fish".

It was a fish: "I'm at No. 3 Middle School, I'll be able to see you soon."

Not the Hang in Hangzhou: "Really?! Where are you now?"

It was a fish: "I'm still moving. I'll come to see you this afternoon."

Hang, not Hangzhou: "Okay! You must be unfamiliar with Dongcheng. I'll take you there this afternoon!"

Yu Yue turned off his phone happily. He felt that this was a new stage in his life. There was nothing he liked about Xicheng District, including the school, teachers, and classmates, including Yu Jingnian who was always on business trips to film and would not go home for several months or even half a year, and Jiang Qian who went out early and came back late every day.

Yu Jingnian is the director and Jiang Qian is the host, they are both leaders in their respective circles.

When they arrived at the door of the villa, the moving company happened to be outside and called Yu Jingnian, who went out to meet them. Yu Yue got out of the car and didn't have any feelings about the villa.

It's just a matter of moving from one villa to another.

In the afternoon, Yu Yue went to meet Shan Hang.

Shan Hang ran over from a distance and gave Yu Yue a big hug. He smiled and introduced himself to Yu Yue and brought a few people with him: "These are my classmates. They have all seen your dad's movies and said they want to meet you."
