真正看房子做决定的时候却比想象中的简单许多，我们在看了Leo表A里面的第一家就决定是它了。大小价钱都合适，靠近一条相对安静的街道，离我们最常去的机械专业楼区走路也就五到十分钟，不远处就是公交站，线路还算丰富，三个房间两个是挨着的，还有一间在另一头，地毯去年刚换过，看起来还挺新。美中不足的是客厅的沙发看起来有些年纪了，厨房整体更是陈旧，炉灶还是那种开放蚊香式的，油烟机风口对内，自产自销。。。不过这些都是当地常规配置了，学生党预计也没什么机会用厨房，无伤大雅。

叫上我现在的室友，一起签了合同，给好押金。哇，下学期开始就跟Leo住一起拉！

室友签好合同后有课先走了，我跟Leo去吃午饭。心情有点好，路上我一直偷瞄他，想看看他有没有什么特别的反应，结果当然是啥也没看出来。
& O0 i7 e9 e$ j& p  M不过眼下还有更实际的，想了想还是决定问问：
“You said that you'd take the lead on the upcoming round of report and homework right?"
Leo斜眼看了我好一会儿，看得我心里一阵发毛，就在我准备投降说算了当我没问的时候他突然说道：
$ D& T. ]# F* \# N  f"We can split 2 ways this time. I call dibs on the homework and you'll have the report. We can rotate next time."
"Oh that's not bad. The first report shouldn't take too long."
2 p$ D. G0 b2 u, f"Nor should the first homework. Did you think I'd have you take on both?"
% a4 ?0 p- z/ T! f; q+ T/ ]+ q' ?6 g我抓抓头，嘿嘿傻笑：

0 _2 l% j# V5 D2 {: e) R& RLeo挑挑眉：
“Why?"
我知道他想听什么，但不能每次都顺着他，我凑到他跟前，夸张地拖着长音：
"Because it seemed like you were very particular-"故意停在这个字上嘲讽他，结果Leo伸出手，像之前一样卡着我的脖子就往前拖行。发现他在外面好像很喜欢这样欺负我，其实他没用多大力，我也不难受，就是看起来有点狼狈。蛮显眼的，但他好像也不以为意。拖了几步他凑过来：
"One more chance"
, f0 S! H  j. i' E7 `气流吹过，我打了个激灵，真的很痒：
“I was gonna say you were particularly good at combing through those rental listings. It would have taken us way longer without you"
) o6 N7 k5 }; H  Q" z( [6 r结果Leo还是没有把我放开，我脑子转了转，灵光乍现：
"Than-thank you?"
Leo满意地把手收回去了。


很快来到了Raya做助教的实验课。Raya真的是那种很传统的工科女生，对待学术认真严谨，一丝不苟。演示实验步骤的时候很细致，讲解评分标准的时候更是详尽透彻，对报告的结构，内容，甚至段落间距，错别字，图标标识等等都有可以一一参照的给分扣分标准。之前的报告虽然也有类似的要求，但详尽程度跟Raya的比简直云泥之别。
课程开始三分钟之内我已经开始替Leo和同一组的我的未来担心，不知道换过来的决定是对是错。只是当初Raya听了我们那么荒诞的对话还主动要跟我们组队，可能私下里不是那么严苛的人？能主动搭话肯定不是因为性格孤僻了，研究生应该也不怵写报告才是，难道她画图很菜？还是被Leo颜值吸引？如果是后面这种兴许还有得救？
( Z$ d: i) V6 ~: ]感觉思绪发散到了外太空，回过神来的时候实验已经开始了。Leo捅捅我，说别发呆。传热的实验延续之前流体分组的传统，也是分成四组，每组四人。我们组里除了我跟Leo，还有来自韩国的小哥Yim和白人女生Jamie。
: I$ L1 M3 j+ G1 C5 g/ a3 R第一节实验课的内容相当简单，只需要观察几种灵敏度不同的温度监控仪器的表现状况，还有传热系数不同的材料在同样环境下的导热表现，很直观。令人大跌眼镜的是Leo居然一反常态变成了个一开始就认真做事的人。依然是组里最活跃的那个，一顿输出把大家都忽悠地跟他走的操作也很熟悉，只是这次没有freestyle，认真跟着讲义走，反而让我原本的担心显得很多余，还让我稍稍偷懒了一下。


期间Raya来巡查了几次，Leo都积极沟通，Raya连连点头，像极了三好生在和班主任亲切友好地交谈。我啧啧称奇，戳戳Leo，用只有我们听得到的音量问他：
9 Y$ Y- m5 Q7 E  K9 z1 M/ f“今天这么认真，are you high？还是因为有Raya？”
Leo手臂压在我肩膀上，贴在我耳边说：
“你认真点，不然这个semester的report都是你的了”说完Leo下巴一点，又是熟悉的包工头表情。我撇撇嘴，难得认真一次，了不起咯。

5 g; N8 j$ R/ ]& b6 \* a' N+ _* x
结果我们居然是所有组别里第一个完成任务的。Raya看了一眼我们的数据，表示我们可以提早离开了，脸上全是老师对好学生的那种肯定。我们向她道谢，离开，慢悠悠地向下一堂课的位置走去。
& S1 X5 g& h" T; w2 E5 D* H7 h8 _. g路上我实在忍不住了：
, b" p! O. s4 y5 F4 `" ^$ l6 w“What was that? I think you owe me a little bit of context here"
5 o' G8 m% @0 @5 P; w$ }- p3 j$ A离开教室后Leo迅速恢复了那个吊儿郎当的样子，脸上痞痞的：
"Well we'll need her help later down the line for sure. Gotta play this teacher's pet game in the beginning at least"说完不怀好意地盯着我：“It'll be your turn next session"
我连忙推脱：
"I think you should keep going. You did so great today that you had almost fooled me as well"
( J" j7 s! {* N1 _8 P"Then you'd just have to write all the reports for me this semester"
& ~5 G( V4 m7 W3 BLeo不上套，我抓抓头：

9 V( h% \/ m, ]# g: X0 jLeo满不在乎地耸耸肩：

1 Y# \4 [/ l% U, \: h' d9 O今天第二次咋舌。Leo原来还有这么心机深沉的一面，还好倒也不是什么真正的坏心思。我抬起手，用手腕揉揉Leo胳膊的位置：
“Just kidding... I won't"

晚上回到了久违的实验室。一个寒假过去，以前跟Leo一起在这里鬼混的画面都还历历在目。故地重游，说明这学期的课业也要正式开始了。
Leo大剌剌坐在他的电脑椅上，拿出iPad，脚翘在我座位上，开始玩起来。我在实验室转了一圈，摸摸那些大大小小的机器，仔细观察了一圈，才走回到座位上，放下书包。Leo没有脱鞋，AF1骄傲地待在我的座位上，没有要动的意思。我拿不准他的意思，只好问道：
  D  y; o5 ?: P  j9 A4 W"Should I like, bring another chair?"
. c) ?0 X2 f) }, I! HLeo好像游戏进行得如火如荼，匆匆看我一眼，又匆匆回到游戏里：
“Why? You can use this one"
我震惊，正打算说你这把我坐的位置都占了呀，又听Leo火急火燎地说道：
# ], P9 C  a/ k“Oh you can take off my shoes. I'm in a pinch now in this game. Could you do that for me? Please please"
我无语，要求越来越多了呀。但还是弯下腰，照做了。低帮很好脱，袜子白白的，脚趾若隐若现，在微微颤动，可能是因为刚接触到冷风的关系。我把鞋子放在地上，鼻子离白袜很近，有熟悉的味道飘过来，挺浓郁的。下半身有要抬头的趋势，只好不再多做停留，放好鞋子后抄起Leo的小腿，坐下，再把Leo的袜脚放在我的大腿上。
转过头看看Leo，游戏打得火热，整个人完全沉浸在里面，根本没有要写作业的意思。叹口气，想想好像暂时也没那么紧张，算了，我也先放松一下。想到之前学校发邮件说鼓励大家多找实习，那干脆看看有没有什么机会好了。Leo游戏有点激烈，脚常常绷得笔直，动来动去。我腾出一只手，帮他按按脚，慢慢好像放松了一些。

  \# q& T4 s( \, F2 X/ o刷着刷着听到那边长舒一口气，我看过去，Leo一局打完，放下iPad，伸伸懒腰。看我在看他，笑得无比灿烂，骄傲地说：
“I won! My team sucked but I saved their asses"
8 y0 ]* ]: M' k0 P) Z我捏捏他脚上那个他最爱的点：
“I can tell. Ready for homework?"
; l* H0 a4 V; B! }2 c8 g"There's no rush. What are you up to?"说完后凑过来，扫了一眼：“You're looking for internship?"
( ?9 R! l9 W( B/ \: b9 e"Yea was kinda browsing. I heard it'd be difficult to land on a job without prior work experience?"
"Yes and no. Have you worked before?"
"Does food handler for dining hall in dorm count?"
5 K9 }/ p! o- L; C) L"No. You need something relevant to your major"

"Pretty easy for me"
* X! }6 f  i) ]6 C我有点心动：
"Did you just apply online?"
"No. My dad works for the company"
“..."靠，白瞎。
也许是看到了我的白眼，Leo又补了一枪：
"That's typically how people get their first internship though. Then after you have something to put on your resume, you would have a much higher chance for other opportunities"
0 s2 O0 u/ y# R% S% L 好吧，有些沮丧，我说：
! ]2 Z  @9 b, M- |"What if I don't have that kind of connection..."突然灵光一闪：“Wait can I ask your dad for help so that I can intern in his company too?"
) n- z* P+ G5 j- i"No"
没想到拒绝地这么干脆，我愕然，问：
“But why?"
Leo往后一靠：
“We should look for internship together. I can help you and we can work for the same company. I don't want to work for my dad's company because he's kinda high up there. And if I ended up working there full time I'd be under his shadow for a long long time"
( {5 w0 y* |6 _- [* J% x+ I一顿输出搞得我不知道是该开心还是难过。算了，情绪收一收，把课业完成最重要。拍拍Leo：
. Y% g# x1 g8 C* s5 F& \9 M$ H+ n"We should probably go study now, otherwise we won't even graduate, let alone getting jobs"
Leo却好像突然想起来什么，看着我说：
"By the way I'm considering doing double major, both ME and EE. That way I get to be an electromechanical engineer, which gets much higher pay than mechanical alone"
2 s0 |2 ]2 U4 j* o3 ?我看着吊儿郎当的Leo，忍不住出言提醒：
"But you don't even seem like enjoying studying for the only major you have right now"
“I don't need to. If I do decide to go down that route though,"停顿了一下，Leo用脚轻轻踢我一下，换了个更舒服的姿势，闭上眼，嘴角邪气地上扬，一副吃定我的样子："you're gonna do that with me Dustin."
