The Shadow of the Wind

Chu You finally couldn't bear the dullness and depression.After all, he is a young master who is loved and loved so much, so being neglected by his biological brother, the anger of pampering all flared up in his heart.

"I hate you!!"

Snapped.

The exquisite pottery hit the ground with a "clank", splashing into extremely beautiful fragments, and a few pieces rolled around and fell to the feet of the two brothers.

Chu You's little face was flushed with anger, panting lightly as he looked at the porcelain that he had thrown on the ground.And Chu Ning stared blankly at his work that was destroyed in an instant, his clear eyes became foggy after a short period of sluggishness, and his thin brows trembled because of great sadness—his small face was pale and slender. The thin arms still maintained the original movement of holding the pottery tightly, as if they still couldn't believe that the pottery was gone just like that.

"My things..." Chu Ning hoarse and cried, and then tears fell uncontrollably, like broken beads.

The tears reflected in the eyes of the young Chu You, completely panicking the child who was still arrogant just a second ago.

"I, I didn't mean it!" Chu You subconsciously denied it, and stepped back in a panic, his little head shaking like a rattle.

This is the first time he saw his brother cry like this, the tears kept falling like this without saying a word, it was much clearer than the previous nights in the dark, the impact was greater, and he fell into a kind of In an inexplicable panic.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open. Standing at the door was Chu Kong with a dark complexion. After a while, Chu Yi and the servants who heard the sound gathered at the door.

The broken pottery, Chu Ning's tears, Chu You's bewilderment, everything was black and white.Chu Kong's face was suddenly gloomy, he rushed up and couldn't help but pick up the feather duster next to him and yank it towards Chu You.

Chu You yelled "Wow" in pain, and at the same time, tears flowed down his face in grievance: "I didn't mean my father..."

No matter how Chu Yi tried to persuade Chu Kong, he firmly grabbed Chu You and pressed him to the ground. He beat him hard—even though he married a foreign wife, the idea of ​​a filial son under the stick in China was still deeply rooted. I will still teach you a lesson from time to time.

"I didn't do it on purpose... I didn't do it on purpose!" Chu You cried and shouted, "It's my brother who ignored me first!"

"Do you still know that he is your brother?!" Chu Kong asked sharply: "Do you still know how to respect your brother? If you don't respect your brother today, will you climb on top of your parents tomorrow?!"

"Woo... I, I was wrong..."

Seeing Chu Ning who was still crying, Chu You couldn't control his tears.Chu Ning cried hard, and he cried even harder. The two brothers seemed to have a telepathy, one weeping silently and the other crying loudly.

Finally, Chu Kong ordered Chu You to go to the attic of his home to reflect, and he was not allowed to go downstairs for a day.

This can be seen from the strict family education of the Chu family.

As soon as Chu You heard that he was going to the attic, he immediately shivered: the place was full of dust, and it was very dark, very dark, and it was eerily quiet. He remembered slipping in during hide-and-seek, and then he was locked inside by the careless servant and could not come out for a long time. I was so scared that I cried until my voice was hoarse...

"I, I don't go to the attic..."

"Go in." Chu Kong's majestic voice was irresistible, and several servants directly put Chu You up like a chicken.

Chu You's face was covered with tears, and he kept turning his head to beg, and with tears in his eyes, he still saw Chu Ning with red eyes behind Chu Kong...

elder brother……

I am sorry.

*****

The attic was so quiet that the sound of needles falling could be heard, Chu You hugged his knees and curled up in the corner helplessly, these three words echoed silently in his mind.

The darkness was boundless, almost engulfing his small body. Chu Kong's harsh scolding and Chu Ning's crying echoed in his ears and could not go away, making Chu You, who was only six years old, anxious and regretful.

"Brother...I'm sorry...Dad...I was wrong...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Children's cries spread like ghosts throughout the attic.

Chu You huddled in the corner, and didn't even dare to go to the window to look out, because he was afraid that there would be ghosts outside. It is said that there are many ghosts in London, and they would float on the streets at night...

Suddenly there was a flash of light outside the window, which scared Chu You into the ground, crying against the wall tremblingly.

"Who, who!"

No one answered him, only despairing silence.

"No, don't...I don't want to stay here woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Squeak.

There was a soft sound on the floor in the distance, and Chu You, who was already vigilant, trembled again.I saw that the partition moved, and the exit to the bottom seemed to be opened.

"Yes, who is it..."

With a click, the lock was unlocked, the partition was pushed open, and a handsome little face appeared in front of Chu You, with a pair of big eyes that were still red and swollen from crying, like a cute little rabbit.

"...Brother!" Chu You cried out in surprise, almost jumping up for joy.

He hurriedly crawled around a pile of storage boxes, and jumped at Chu Ning who came to pick him up in surprise, hugging him tightly with his arms, wiping all his snot and tears on Chu Ning's pajamas.

"Brother, are you here to pick me up?"

Chu Ning was almost thrown backward by him, and after standing still, he touched Chu You's head, and whispered: "Father said that I can take you back to the room to sleep, but you have to apologize first, and don't do this in the future. Can……"

"I know! I'm sorry...brother, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said that! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He was like a little monk chanting scriptures, eager to convey his apology to the other party, for fear of saying something wrong Ning missed it.

Chu Ning heard his repeated apologies, and the circles of his eyes turned red unconsciously.

Children are so strange. Hearing other people apologizing, he also feels distressed, let alone his own brother.

"It's okay." He patted Chu You's shoulder and said in a milky voice, "Father said, if you know your mistakes, you should correct them. Xiao You is a good boy..."

"I'm not a good boy today..." Chu You said sullenly: "From tomorrow on, that's it, I'll always be a good boy..."

"Xiaoyou is very good."

Chu Ning kept touching his head to comfort him, and finally took his crying brother back to the room.

the next day.

The nimble little body crawled across the clean floor with a "swish", the servants all looked at this naughty and lively second young master in surprise, and all wanted to come over and hug him up.

Chu You pouted and refused, and quickly crawled away.He sneakily crawled to a door, opened the door slightly and poked his head in, fearing that the people inside would find out, and retracted his neck immediately if there was any movement.

It was a bright and spacious room. It was originally Chu Yi's studio which was transformed into Chu Ning's pottery room. Chu Ning would stay in the pottery room and make mud when he was free.He was very serious, completely unaware that Chu You was peeking outside the door.

Chu You kept kneeling on the ground with a lollipop in his mouth, watching intently through the crack of the door that his brother inside was doing pottery. What happened yesterday was like burning coals that had left a deep imprint on his little heart—he I will never bully my brother again.

Chu Ning finally finished painting a piece of pottery. He carefully picked up his little work and put it aside, and caught a glimpse of Chu You who was stunned outside the door.

"Xiaoyou?" Chu Ning looked at Chu You who was kneeling outside the door with a lollipop in his mouth, drooling in surprise, and quickly put down the pottery and ran outside the door.

Chu You was really frightened. Seeing Chu Ning running over, he immediately rolled and crawled to escape, like a nimble little squirrel, but Chu Ning quickly grabbed one foot and dragged him back.

As soon as he stood up, Chu You yelled because his legs were numb after kneeling for a long time, and his little tears burst into tears: "Wuuu, my leg is about to break..."

"How can you kneel, and you are not allowed to kneel in the future, why eat lollipops again, your teeth are about to break." Chu Ning said helplessly. The worry-free younger brother helped him up, half-dragged and half-hugged him to the chair, and thoughtfully massaged his knees.

"Brother...I won't touch your things anymore...and I won't bully you anymore..." Chu You said weakly with his head down.

"Making pottery is very fun, and you don't even want to try it." Chu Ning showed a sad expression, but he was still trying to help Chu You rub his knees. He just hoped that Chu You could accompany him to make pottery here. The little mind has been made since he just fell in love with making pottery.

"Well... oh good!" Chu You nodded firmly, and suddenly began to be whimsical, "In the future, my brother will teach me how to make pottery! I will be a big lion! I will be a big cat!"

Chu Ning looked at Chu You in surprise and joy, and was also brought to laugh happily: "Okay, I will teach you."

"Okay~!" Chu You jumped up from the chair happily, rushed to the turntable and began to play with mud.

"It's not like that." Chu Ning nervously ran over to stop Chu You's havoc.

"That's it!" Chu You laughed loudly, picked up a little bit of mud with his little finger and smacked it on his face, then opened his mouth wide and yelled "Aww" with an incomparably bright smile, "Look, brother! I'm a big lion!"

"The face is dirty." Chu Ning hurriedly found a towel, and wiped Chu You's handsome face clean with distress.

"Brother is a tabby cat!" Chu You roared excitedly, pinching Chu Ning's face mischievously with his muddy hands.

Chu Ning has been reluctant to teach this younger brother a lesson since he was a child, so he has nothing to do with Chu You's naughtiness, and can only hide: "Xiao You, you are not good again...Brother is going to be angry."

"Brother~~" Chu You yelled childishly, smiled sweetly, opened his arms and rushed towards Chu You enthusiastically.

Before Chu Ning could react, he just caught the little kid with his subconscious reaction. He was only ten years old, and he staggered to catch Chu You, and fell onto the sofa in an instant.

And Chu You Anran burst into laughter in his arms, his small body pressed against Chu Ning's body and jumped up and down: "Brother~~Brother is angry?"

Chu Ning looked at the lively and cute little boy in his arms, and smiled softly. He touched Chu You's head and said, "No, my brother likes Xiao You the most, so I won't be angry with Xiao You."

"Okay~~ I like my brother the most too!!" Chu You suddenly laughed sweetly, wrapped his short arms around Chu Ning's neck, and went up to Chu Ning's face full of saliva "baji" A few bites, as sweet as eating a lot of lollipops.

Even though London is still white and foggy today, Chu Ning seemed to be bathed in sunshine. He had never smiled so happily, and kissed Chu You's white and tender cheeks naturally.

"Brother~!" Chu You poked his fleshy white face happily, his expression seemed to have won the championship, and he said with a smile, "I want to kiss here too!"

"Okay." Chu Ning nodded with a light smile, responsive to Chu You's request, and kissed the other side of Chu You's cheek.

Chu You seemed to have gotten the candy he had wanted for a long time. He sat down contentedly and lay down on Chu Ning's body, holding his fingers in his mouth and muttering, "Brother...Brother wants to play with me every day..."

"Okay." Chu Ning said softly while touching Chu You's head.

"In the future, when my brother has a new wife, he will also play with me every day."

"How do you know so much at such a young age?" Chu Ning said shyly.

"My classmate said it." Chu You pouted and stared at Chu Ning, "My classmate's elder brother won't play with him after he married a bride. Will you, elder brother?"

"Xiaoyou will have a bride in the future, so I don't need my brother to accompany me." Chu Ning poked Chu You's forehead and said with a smile.

"No, I don't want a bride! I just want my brother, father, mother, grandpa, and grandma!" Chu You's cheeks were puffed up with anger, and he hugged Chu Ning tightly with his short arms for fear of being snatched away.

Chu Ning was so moved by this little childish remark that his eyes were red, and he hugged the little man in his arms: "Xiaoyou... my brother will always be with you..."

The pottery room reverberated with youthful and childish words, but they were always polished by time. Maybe ten years later, they would no longer remember the small promises made in the pottery room.

The fate is superficial, destined to be brothers and sisters for half a lifetime.

☆、You Qing Anning 2

2.

In 1979, Jingzhou.

This is an era of chaos and openness, and it is also an era of the rise of domestic capitalists.

Neither Chu You nor Chu Ning had much memory of this city.They were young men who had returned from overseas. Wearing suits, eating Western food, and being educated by foreigners, they were the most foreign-looking and advanced-thinking group of young people in China at that time.

"Brother, are you going to school tomorrow?" Chu You lazily leaned on Chu Ning after tidying up the room.

"Yeah, Dad has already made an agreement with Jingzhou University, and I have to go to class tomorrow." Chu Ning moved his position to make it more comfortable for Chu You to lean on, and the two brothers were close to each other on the sofa, The sunshine from the eastern country came in from the window, and the warmth was just right.

"Then am I going to be bored?" Chu You rubbed his head against the other party a little dissatisfied: "Once you go to school, you have to come back once a week, right?"

"Of course I am a day student, and I can still come back every day."

"It was also very late when I came back, I guess I washed up and went to bed soon after I came back."

"Don't you need to go to school?" Chu Ning turned his head amusedly, stretched out his hand and pinched his brother's nose: "You are also a high school student, domestic homework is much more difficult than that in England, you have to study hard."

"Of course I know, don't you still believe in my strength?" Chu You, who is full of confidence, has always been determined to succeed in his studies, and cannot tolerate any doubts from others, let alone Chu Ning.

"Of course I believe in Xiaoyou," Chu Ning said softly, "I just want to remind you, lest one day you won't be No. 1 and come to me to complain."

"How is it possible." Chu You straightened up and put his arm around Chu Ning's shoulders: "Just wait, and watch me defeat all those people in the school."

"Okay." Chu Ning smiled helplessly and dotingly, and the speed of turning over the book slowed down.

"By the way," Chu You said suddenly, "Let's sleep tonight, your bed is so big anyway."

"Why, Xiaoyou is 15 years old, can't she sleep alone?" Chu Ning grinned softly; "Are you still afraid of ghosts and want to sleep with your brother?"

Chu You's face turned red when he was told, and he immediately coughed and said, "You're used to it, and you'll be going to school tomorrow." After speaking, he returned to his cold and rebellious look, he was a handsome young man.

"Okay, just don't kick the quilt tonight." Chu Ning smiled softly at him, reached out and stroked Chu You's hair habitually, then lowered his head and continued to flip through the book.

Chu You coughed twice again, the blush on his face was faintly visible, and his eyes flickered unnaturally at Chu Ning.

Quiet room, ambiguous air.

*****

As night comes, the air in Jingzhou is far drier than London, and newcomers will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

"Xiaoyou, look at your face and your hands." Sitting on the bed, Chu Ning found out the moisturizer brought back from London by the bedside, "It's almost peeling, I'll rub some on for you."

Chu You touched his face, looked in the mirror and saw that his skin was really peeling, and couldn't help being startled: "Ahem...how could this be?! Almost scared me to death!"

Chu Ning couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was so scared that he was about to bounce; "It's been almost a day since I came back, haven't you noticed yet, come here, I'll paint it for you."

"It's too dry here in Jingzhou. It seems that Mom was right when she said to bring moisturizer."

Chu You covered his face and said dissatisfiedly: "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I would be disfigured..."

"Come on, sit here," Chu Ning pulled him to sit on the bed with a suppressed smile, then carefully dabbed some moisturizer with his fingers, looked up at Chu You's face carefully for a while, and then gently spread it from his cheeks .

The icy cold feeling made Chu You blink quickly, and he didn't even dare to look at his brother who was close at hand.From the corner of his eye, he could feel that Chu Ning's lake-like eyes were fixed on his face, like a scorching fire, which almost made his face burn.

Heartbeat also quickened.

"Okay, hold out your hand."

"Ah? Why do you have to paint your hands?" Chu You said so, but obediently stretched out his hand.

He lowered his head, only to see Chu Ning's slender fingers, replaying in his mind the scene of the other party pinching the pottery mold, as well as the frame-by-frame drawing on the pottery with a soft brush—those real and trivial memories can always be found here The time comes like a tide.

Chu You only felt that Chu Ning's strength was as soft as plucking a string, which made him feel strange and impatient all over his body.

"Cough...it's alright, brother, it's alright."

"Let me see." Chu Ning let go of his hand, and carefully looked at where Chu You was still scratching.

Chu You couldn't help panicking at that sight, and quickly changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, you'd better bring a bottle to school, otherwise, what should I do if the skin peels off halfway through class and scares everyone? Hahaha."

Chu Ning also smiled and rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Don't worry, of course I will take it with you, but you are more picky than me, so you should take it with you."

"Really? Didn't you wake up?" Chu You's heart moved, and he suddenly moved closer to Chu Ning, his eyes fixed on Chu Ning's delicate and fair skin.

Chu Ning was taken aback for a moment, his face blushed slightly when the other party approached suddenly, and then he lowered his eyes: "I painted it at noon, of course it's not as good as yours."

Chu You's heart was also beating strangely at this time, but his eyes were still sizing up Chu Ning's face presumptuously, and he even took the other's hand to look at it.

Boom boom, boom boom.

"Okay." After a long while, Chu Ning said, "Hurry up and go to bed, lest you won't get up again tomorrow."

"Got it." Chu You hurriedly looked away, and got under the quilt with a "whoosh".

Seeing this, Chu Ning said helplessly: "You always hug the quilt so tightly that I don't even have to cover it."

After a while, Chu You revealed a pair of eyes from under the quilt, with a sly smile flashing inside: "Come in."

Chu Ning shook his head helplessly, but he couldn't resist Chu You, so he had to compromise and pull away a corner of the quilt to get in.

The breath of the two brothers blended in this warm and narrow space, filled with indescribable warmth and ambiguity, the contact between the skins was terribly subtle, and the seemingly absent staring at each other was a kind of temptation with unknown meaning.

Even after decades, this feeling is still clearly imprinted in each other's minds, and it will last forever in each other's jokes and conversations.

*****

After Chu Ning went to school the next day, Chu Kong immediately took Chu You around all the high-quality middle schools in Jingzhou, and finally decided on the No. [-] Middle School, and quickly enrolled after going through the formalities.

The brothers' busy academic life officially began.

Compared with Chu You, the pressure was not small. I still remember that the college entrance examination had just resumed that year, and everyone was studying hard.Although he comes from a wealthy family and does not demand to walk the single-plank bridge with thousands of horses and horses, he is born competitive and eager to prove his strength with his achievements.

The strange thing is that whenever Chu You wants to slack off while doing homework, the first thing that comes to Chu You's mind is not Chu Kong's stern face, but Chu Ning.The other party's gentle smile always carried warm encouragement like the sun. Although Chu Ning sometimes used cunning provocative methods, it was as warm as water, without any sharpness.

"Chu You, Chu You...Classmate Chu You!"

"Ah?" Chu You realized after hearing the sound, and looked at the teacher on the podium.

"Student Chu You, please don't be in a daze in class, were you thinking of a girl just now?"

A burst of low laughter immediately flowed around, making Chu You's cheeks flushed, so he had to cough to cover it up.

A week passed like running water, and the upcoming weekend made the Chu family, which had been quiet for five days, suddenly lively.

"Xiaoyou!"

Chu Ning, who came back from school, rarely used a slightly excited tone. He put down his bag and sat down next to Chu You, his fair face was flushed after trotting: "Do you want to go to our school?"

"What? Are you going to play at Jingzhou University?" Chu You suddenly became interested and straightened up.

"Our college is holding a dance party this weekend, you can bring friends or family to play, do you want to go?"

"London ballroom dancing?"

"Almost, it's a dance hosted by our Art Academy. It should be very interesting, so do you want to come together?"

Chu You was stunned for a while, then said, "Hey, don't tell me... you want to dance with your female classmates?"

There was temptation in his tone, as well as dissatisfaction that he couldn't detect.

"Huh? For ballroom dancing, of course men and women dance together." Chu Ning didn't notice anything wrong in his younger brother's tone, and he continued, "The girls in Jingzhou University are very self-cultivated, maybe there is one you like. .”

"Are you kidding! They are all older than me, and..." Chu You frowned, "Is there anyone you like?"

Chu Ning laughed out loud: "Xiaoyou, what are you talking about? It's just to make friends, be a gentleman to girls, you always put on a bad face, I dare not take you there."

"I'm going." Chu You immediately said firmly, "And I don't want to dance with girls who are older than me."

"Why do you go to the ball if you don't dance?" Chu Ning couldn't help laughing helplessly when he saw that he was acting like a young master again.

"I dance with you."

Chu Ning was taken aback, his face was a little red; "This..."

"Anyway, I heard that in China, men dance with men, and women dance with women."

"But……"

At that time, there was still the concept of incompatibility between men and women in China, so same-sex dancing in ballroom dancing was actually very common, but it was often misunderstood by foreign friends as homosexuality.Thinking of this, Chu Ning's face suddenly burned red, so hot that he couldn't hold it.

"It's settled like this. I'll go find a suit." Chu You's face suddenly became weird, and he got up and immediately ran to the room and closed the door with a "bang".

Chu Ning was left alone on the sofa, at a loss for what to do.

****

After the rectification, Jingzhou University has become more and more qualified as a top university in the country. The ancient pagodas here are secluded, the lake is sparkling, and the autumn trees have faint yellow leaves.The quaint teaching building highlights the profound historical heritage, and the students walking along the school road seem to have a scent of books.

But at this moment, most people's eyes were attracted by the two brothers of the Chu family.

Chu You and Chu Ning came from the narrow path at the other end. One was as gentle as jade and the other was handsome and masculine. It was undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery. Wherever they passed, the female students would naturally exclaim and jump for joy.

However, in the eyes of people at that time, a heroic and hearty man like Chu You was more popular, while Chu Ning was criticized by many people. It is very sensitive and suspicious.

"Chu Ning, this is your younger brother? He looks so handsome!" Several female classmates gathered around, looking at Chu You beside Chu Ning with curiosity and suppressed excitement.

"Yes, his name is Chu You, and he is currently a freshman in No. [-] Middle School." Chu Ning introduced politely.

"You are so tall, your genes are really good, and you are all so handsome."

"Thank you."

"So young, can he dance?"

"No, we can teach." A few female students smiled shyly and couldn't hold back their excitement.

"Hey, he's my younger brother..."

"What's wrong with my brother, it's all open now, men and women dancing is nothing at all, foreigners are like this, and Chu Ning just came back from England."

Chu Ning looked at the group of students gently, and then looked at Chu You: "Xiao You can dance."

Those female classmates wanted to say something, but Chu You, who had been silent all of a sudden, grabbed Chu Ning's arm and said seriously, "Sorry, we still have something to do."

After speaking, he dragged his brother away.

"Xiaoyou?" Chu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and let Chu You drag him to the side buffet table.

"Eat something, I'm hungry." Chu You still had a rebellious face, picked up the finger biscuit and put it into his mouth unceremoniously.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, here is black tea." Seeing that he had started to eat, Chu Ning thoughtfully took the cup to help him pour the tea, and then picked up the tissue on the side for emergencies.

The corner of Chu You's mouth smiled unconsciously, feeling the sweetness of the biscuit in his mouth, he took a bite of the biscuit and quickly made a cute face at Chu You.

Chu Ning was amused at once: "It's delicious to eat."

"Brother, try it too." Chu You smiled softly, and brought a sandwich to Chu Ning's mouth.

Seeing Chu You feeding himself with a smile and tenderness, Chu Ning missed several beats in his heart, and he wanted to take it in embarrassment: "I will do it myself."

"No." Chu You immediately put on a straight face, determined to feed him with his own hands.

Chu Ning couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to bite a piece, his face also turned slightly red.

"Although it's good, it's not as delicious as our school's." Chu You raised his eyebrows proudly, "Next time I'll take you to our school for a meal." After saying that, he continued to bite Chu Ning without hesitation She even snatched Chu Ning's black tea and drank the sandwiches she had eaten.

"If you want a drink, I'll get it for you." Chu Ning reluctantly got up.

"No, the black tea in my brother's cup is the best." Chu You said bluntly, with the sandwich still in his mouth, staring at Chu Ning as if saying that if you dare to take it, I will cry for you.

In front of Chu Ning, he will always be that mischievous younger brother.

"Naughty." Chu Ning laughed out loud.

"Does that brother like me to be naughty, or do I like to be quiet?" Chu You asked while eating with his head down, just like brothers chatting everyday.

Chu Ning's heart beat faster because of this problem, so he could only pick up the teacup and drink tea non-stop to cover up the inexplicable tension and throbbing.

"Huh?" Chu You looked up at Chu Ning strangely.

"Xiaoyou is fine with everything..."

*****

The dance party was held on the lawn of Fengyuan, which was lush and green, filled with the fragrance of grass, and when the sky gradually darkened, colorful lights and balloons were strung in the air around it.

Just as the two brothers were standing in front of the buffet table enjoying themselves, there was a sudden commotion from the other end. Turning around, they saw a few male students in elegant suits walking into the lawn, looking haughty and arrogant.The other students at the scene also froze when they saw them, and then tried their best to pretend not to care and continue to enjoy the dance.

Chu You was always alert, and his first reaction when he saw this was to pull Chu Ning behind him.

"Xiaoyou? What's the matter?"

"Who are they?" Chu You pointed with his chin to those guys who looked extremely arrogant.

"Huh? They... don't seem to be from the Academy of Art?"

I saw those people walking into the center of the Fengyuan lawn abruptly. The leader was a tall college student with a Chinese character face, wearing an epaulet with the word "learning", and several other tall male students also wore the same epaulettes.

"College of Art?" The male student at the head frowned, then raised his voice, "Who allowed you to hold a dance party in Maple Garden?"

The audience suddenly fell silent, and the wrinkled atmosphere froze in the air.The lively students suddenly settled down, and they all lowered their heads and dared not look at these people from the school society.

"Why don't you talk, are you dumb?" Seeing that they were so apprehensive, the male student showed a bit of complacency on his face: "Don't you know that you need to book a venue with the Academy in advance for the dance?"

"Senior..." After a while, someone finally came out: "I am the monitor of this class, we have booked the venue before..."

"What about the receipt?"

"This? There is no receipt, the people who learned it didn't give us..."

"How dare you say that you have booked a venue without a receipt?" The senior let out a cold snort.

"But we really made a reservation. We booked it at the academy office, which is on the north shore of the lake."

"The Art Academy also wants to hold a dance party? It's ridiculous." Just heard another person in the academy sneer: "I don't know how to learn all day long, and engage in capitalist style. I should have been expelled from Beijing University long ago."

"That's the truth," the leading senior said with a sarcasm: "Tell yourself, what contribution has the Academy of Art made to Peking University? How many famous artists have it produced? How many articles can be sold? Can it be sold?" Didn’t you learn everything from foreigners? With your qualifications, how dare you hold a dance party in Maple Garden?”

"In my opinion, you might as well go to the School of Journalism and take photos for them. It may be worthwhile to design layouts for newspapers and magazines."

"Design? They have to understand what the article is about before they can talk about design? It's just a group of technicians, and they don't deserve to study at Peking University."

The sour tone of these people made Chu You frown uncontrollably.He grew up in an educational atmosphere in the UK. The education he received told him that there is no distinction between high and low subjects, but that each performs its own duties and has its own merits. It is the first time to hear such radical remarks when returning to China. Eye-opening.

Just when his thoughts were being strongly impacted, Chu Ning who was behind him strode up at some point, and stood upright in front of those few people who had learned it.

"Student, it's too much for you to say that."

Chu Ning's voice was still soft, just like how he had coaxed Chu You to sleep countless times when he was a child, but now he took on an obviously sullen tone.

His action startled Chu You, and immediately rushed forward: "Brother..."

"Who are you? Are you also from the Academy of Art?" asked the leader of the academy senior.

"Yes, I just transferred here this semester." Neither humble nor overbearing, Chu Ning looked directly at these domineering guys: "There is no distinction between high and low subjects, and art itself has its own value. Domestic art is broad and profound, but in theory It started relatively late, so it is only natural that some places should learn from the West.”

"So you are Chu Ning, that transfer student from England?" One of the people from the academy recognized it and said, "I mean, it smells like xenophobia." After speaking, several other people burst into laughter .

This burst of ridicule made Chu You burst into anger immediately, and roared without any fear; "Shut up! Don't you know how to respect people?!"

"Who is this?"

"Xiaoyou, don't be like this." Seeing that he was getting angry, Chu Ning immediately held Chu You's hand comfortingly to signal him not to be impulsive.

"It looks like my younger brother. There seems to be a rule in the society that it is not allowed to bring people who are not from the school to participate in the activities, right? Are you trying to get a demerit for violating the rules, student Chu Ning?"

"It is stipulated that you can bring friends and family members with you at the dance party," Chu Ning responded calmly: "The monitor personally went to the academy office to book the venue. If you didn't give the receipt, it's your fault at work, and you have no right to deprive us of our rights." He said every word , has firmness and courage that are completely inconsistent with the gentle appearance.

"It's ridiculous, Beijing University is the place where you have the final say?" The group of people sneered, and seeing that Chu Ning couldn't agree, he turned to everyone: "Listen up, clean up this place within 10 minutes, otherwise the future activities of the Art Academy Don't even think about it."

"You guys are going too far!" Chu Ning saw that his words were ignored, and the academy was still being humiliated in this way, his lips trembled with anger, and he stepped forward and stopped in front of the people of the academy: "We will not end, please respect this event!"

"Chu Ning! Don't go head-to-head with them..." The squad leader turned pale with fright, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the stubborn Chu Ning.

"Brother!" Chu You also stepped forward to hold Chu Ning, and at the same time glared at the group of students who had learned with anger.

Seeing this, the group of people smiled even more arrogantly: "Why, student Chu Ning, do you want the society to take 'unconventional measures' against you?"

"I did nothing wrong, and the college did nothing wrong." The blush on Chu Ning's face disappeared, but he still insisted on standing in his own position without giving in.

"Okay, okay!" The senior of the society said loudly: "You don't want to accept it, right? We will finish it for you!"

Speaking of those people who learned to go up directly, took away the food on the buffet table, and then forcibly removed the tables and chairs, and the others started to pull the hanging colorful lights, the scene suddenly became chaotic, accompanied by daring. Little schoolgirl screams.

"Stop!" Seeing this, Chu Ning rushed forward to stop them, so fast that even Chu You couldn't stop them.

His body was still as thin as before, and he was no match for the tall and burly people of the society, but he stubbornly stopped him, and naturally he was thrown to the grass under a lot of pushing and shoving.

The scene was so fast in the blink of an eye, when Chu Ning fell down, his face distorted by pain was just in front of him.
