who's next

Not long after meeting Ruan Yuchen's family, Ji Huai ended his internship in just a few months.During the graduation season in July, students from all over the world returned to school to enjoy their last student time.

The graduation party in the class was scheduled for the weekend, and Ji Huai didn't go.

The friendship between college classmates is as weak as plain water. After graduation, they go their separate ways, and the only ones who can still keep in touch are basically roommates.He was too lazy to deal with it, and simply said he was sick and declined all social activities.

However, Ji Huai was not absent from the small dinner in the dormitory, and he brought his family along by the way.

The snack street is buzzing with people, tungsten light bulbs are dangling from the wires, and under the shadow of the lights, the owner of the barbecue stall is sweating profusely turning over the sizzling barbecue.There are several folding tables displayed on the noisy street, and each table is full of people.The dim light casts on people's faces, shining with shiny oil.

They ate meat and drank heavily, punched and chatted, and it was very lively.The same is true for Ji Huai's table.

"Congratulations on our successful graduation, and congratulations on the youngest leaving the order, cheers!" The head of the dormitory raised his glass to collide with everyone, and the glass was filled with amber liquid.The beer spilled from the rim of the glass on impact, dripping into the savory grilled fish.

Ruan Yuchen sat next to Ji Huai the whole time, talking and laughing freely, answering all the questions thrown by his roommate patiently and calmly, and his demeanor was full of elegance.

"How do you know each other? Did you chase him? It must be, the youngest is such an aloof person. I haven't seen him treat anyone well." Drunkness was already on the face of the dormitory manager, and he smiled provocatively. He raised his chin to Ruan Yuchen, "Except for the three of us."

Ji Huai looked at Ruan Yuchen helplessly: "Don't worry, he likes to run the train with his mouth full when he's drunk."

"I don't care about him." Ruan Yuchen leaned forward and whispered to Ji Huai, "I care about you, so I'm still a little upset."

After finishing speaking, he lightly pecked Ji Huai's face as if showing off.

"Damn!" The straight men of steel didn't even notice, and almost overturned the table.

"I should have known that my mother would bring a family. Why would I still eat dog food when I have a crush?" the second child cursed.

Ji Huai also drank some wine, but Ruan Yuchen stopped him from drinking more, so he was the most sober at this time.Seeing that his roommates were all piled up in a pile of mud, he secretly poked and winked at Ruan Yuchen.

"I'll take you back to the dormitory." Then, together with Ruan Yuchen, they carried their roommate on their shoulders with great difficulty, and staggered away from the barbecue stand.

It took more than 40 minutes to settle them down, and my back was sore after coming out of school.Suddenly his shoulders were covered with warmth, Ji Huai turned his head to look, Ruan Yuchen was carefully rubbing his shoulders.

"Your roommate takes good care of you."

"Well, I'm surrounded by lovely people." Ji Huai paused, then smiled at Ruan Yuchen, "You too."

Ruan Yuchen stopped breathing suddenly, and he said, "You smile at me, and my heart is in a mess."

Ji Huai: "...Are you shaking M? Then I will beat you regularly in the future?"

"No." Ruan Yuchen hugged Ji Huai's waist playfully, "Smile at me more, I can do whatever you want."

Under Ruan Yuchen's influence, Ji Huai is now able to accept his closeness naturally, and occasionally responds.However, for the home run, he is still daunting.

On the way back to the apartment, Ji Huai ran into an unexpected guest, Li Shan.

He seemed to have just returned from a party, his cheeks were flushed with drunkenness, and his eyes were dimly blocked in front of Ji Huai.

Ji Huai frowned slightly, Ruan Yuchen subconsciously pushed him back to protect him.

Li Shan's tone was harsh, and he said arrogantly: "You don't even come to the graduation party, are you capable?"

Ji Huai: "Straighten your tongue before talking to me."

Perhaps it was the sequelae of being beaten, Li Shan shrank his neck when he heard this, quickly retreated to a safe distance, and then said stiffly: "I got a place to study abroad at the Aphrodite Academy of Arts."

"That's it?" Ji Huai walked past Li Shan without looking sideways, pulled Ruan Yuchen up and left, ignoring his angrily calling from behind, "No fun, let's go."

"I seem to have heard a little about that academy. It's a place that mass-produces excellent painters." After walking away, Ruan Yuchen opened the topic.He knew his lover's love for painting, and it was impossible for Ji Huai not to be moved by this academy.

It can be said that Aphrodite Academy is the best shortcut to ascend the artistic ladder.

"It is true that I am more qualified than him, but I have my concerns."

The two of them had nothing to say all the way, they walked back to the apartment under the moonlight, Ji Huai moved out two chairs and put them on the balcony, intending to continue the unfinished topic.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Ruan Yuchen pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't have any plans, so I just have to muddle along."

Ji Huai's eyes were sharp, and he pointed out straight to the point: "You don't want to muddle through at all, the decline of GW is always a thorn in your heart."

Ruan Yuchen was noncommittal: "So I am such a professional person in your heart..."

"If not, why did you bring the display windows full of trophies here intact, and why did you wipe them over and over again to keep them from getting a little bit of dust?"

Ruan Yuchen restrained his frivolous smile, the curve of the corners of his mouth gradually fell, and complex emotions filled his deep pupils.

"I am indeed unwilling, but nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Isn't it the same for you?"

At this moment, Ji Huai saw another side of Ruan Yuchen buried deep in his heart.He was so helpless and self-defeating.

His confusion was never resolved.

I don't know when he fell asleep, but when Ji Huai woke up, it was already daylight.

Ji Huai was leaning on the bedside thinking about his plans after graduation. In fact, Li Shan's showing off last night made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Now he is running around like a headless chicken, the road ahead is full of fog and thorns, Ji Huai can't find the most suitable path for him.

The day before he left school, he had an afternoon tea appointment with You Zhengzheng, hoping to see what they were going to do in the future.

You Zhengzheng and Ning Xuzhi finally achieved a positive result, and he decided to stay in N City to do graphic design, so as not to be professional at all.

Talking about Miaoxue is an accounting major, she wants to stay in school for the postgraduate entrance examination, and work hard to pass the CPA exam by the way.

You Zhengzheng stayed here most likely because of Ning Xuzhi. As for Tan Miao... She has always been rational, and if Tang Qizhou wants to maintain this relationship, he can only be wronged and accommodate her more.

But looking at Tan Miao's intentions, it seems that he also intends to go on with Tang Qizhou.

The more Ji Huai heard it, the more he felt that he was the most mediocre of them all, and he felt depressed all of a sudden.

"Okay! You are so talented and like painting, you can't be buried." You Zhengzheng bit the straw to comfort him, "Don't think about being an art teacher to teach a group of little kids, that's too talented. "

Ji Huai was silent, he really thought about it.With such a high reputation, Chi Yan can live in seclusion and open a studio, why can't he.

"Your mother's situation is different. She was tired of jumping and jumping in the glorious and great art hall, so she just retreated behind the scenes. You haven't even touched the threshold. Can you have some ambition and take out playing games to compete for the first place?" One's momentum comes out!"

"Let's talk about it." Ji Huai hummed twice perfunctorily, then looked down at the phone.A message notification popped up on the desktop, from Chi Yan.

[I will come to your school tomorrow and want to talk to you. ]
