stepping into the night

Ruan Chu didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, but he still hasn't been willing to eat that candy until now, and it has been locked in the drawer next to the bookcase, like a most precious memory.

But it should be very sweet, Ruan Chu thought.

He didn't hesitate much, and truthfully sent a message.

[Chuji]: Delicious.

[Lin]: Have you returned to the dormitory now?

[Chu Ji]: Not yet, just arrived downstairs.

[Lin]: OK, wait for me for a while.

Ruan Chu was a little at a loss, he couldn't guess what Lin Jiang was looking for him for, but seeing Lin Jiang one more time was a profit, he quickly replied "Yes", and apologized and asked his roommates to go back to the dormitory first.The other three people in the dormitory heard that he had other things to wait for and left without asking, yawning and nodding.

The location of the gate downstairs is facing the wind, and it is the coldest season in winter. Ruan Chu soon felt the coolness drenched in his body, but he wanted Lin Jiang to find him at the first sight when he came over, so he didn't. Moved to a relatively remote corner and waited. Fortunately, Lin Jiang didn't take more than 5 minutes from sending the message to coming here.

"Why are you standing in the wind?" A soft and helpless question came from behind, Ruan Chu blinked, and before he had time to turn his head to look at Lin Jiang, he felt that he put his hand on his shoulder very naturally, slightly He forcefully led himself to a small alley next to him, which was the office of the school newspaper's reporter corps, and only when school was over, there would be officers on duty.

Ruan Chu watched as Lin Jiang took out a key from his pocket, skillfully opened the door of the school newspaper office, and walked in with Ruan Chu.

"I have a roommate who works on the school newspaper, and I'll come over for him on duty for half a day." Lin Jiang turned her head and met Ruan Chu's curious gaze, and explained something to him in a warm voice, Ruan Chu nodded half-understood, He sat down next to Lin Jiang.

——In fact, Lin Jiang asked Li An for the key. He remembered that this place was the closest to Ruan Chu's dormitory, and no one came here during the holidays.

"Hmm... What's the matter with the senior calling me here?" Being too close, Ruan Chu felt a little blushing again, so he quietly shrank half of his face into his collar, only showing his eyes and the tip of his nose , asked him slowly and actively.

"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" Lin Jiang asked deliberately, and put a box of toffee on the table and pushed it to Ruan Chu's hand, "Happy New Year, let's count it as a New Year's gift."

Ruan Chu blinked, and recognized that the packaging should be the kind of candy that Lin Jiang gave him on Christmas Eve, but he realized that he seemed to have forgotten to prepare a New Year gift for Lin Jiang, and he was annoyed that he was too complacent and his voice was low Some: "Thank you. But I haven't had time to prepare, senior, do you... have any gifts you want?"

"Then this box of candy in your hand." Lin Jiang looked at him, smiled slightly, and pointed to the small box of fruit candy in his hand, "Let's exchange gifts. "

"Ah?" Ruan Chu was a little hesitant. It stands to reason that this box of candy was given to him by someone else, so he can't use it as a gift to give it to someone else again.

"Reluctant?" Lin Jiang stared into his eyes.

"No." Ruan Chu pursed his lips.But this was the first time Lin Jiang asked him for a gift, how could he refuse?

But at the same time, this kind gift from a classmate is also a very precious memory in his life, and he also wants to cherish it.

"Happy New Year, senior." Ruan Chu struggled for a while, and after thinking about it, he decided to explain to Lin Jiang, "This box of candy was given to me by a classmate in our class, and I can't give it to others at will. To the senior New Year's gift from..."

He thought for a moment, remembering the time when he wanted to draw a picture for Lin Jiang and couldn't write, he blinked and looked at Lin Jiang with bright eyes: "Senior, do you agree that I can draw a sketch for you?"

After he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. How can a painting be regarded as a New Year's gift?Isn't this too hasty?

Ruan Chu was so embarrassed that his face turned a little red again, and he was trying to make up a few words, asking if there is anything you want, senior, may I give it to you?

But before he could speak, he heard Lin Jiang's warm reply.

"Of course." Lin Jiang didn't expect him to explain to herself so seriously, the sourness in her heart was melted by some kind of sweetness.

Lin Jiang tapped his eyes lightly with her fingers, "Go back to catch up on sleep first, the dark circles under your eyes came out after talking for so long last night, please give me back after the final exam."

The touch of his fingertips touching his eyes was very warm, Ruan Chu didn't dodge, and even secretly hoped that he could stay a little longer.

"Maybe... I didn't draw very well," Ruan Chu was a little embarrassed, "How about I prepare another New Year's gift for you?"

"Sketch is fine," Lin Jiang smiled and shook her head, "No one has ever drawn me before."

Ruan Chu blinked and nodded in agreement, and the two were relatively silent for a moment before Ruan Chu plucked up the courage to initiate other topics.

"Then senior, are you going to be on duty here all the time?" After finally having the opportunity to spend time with Lin Jiang alone, Ruan Chu didn't want to waste time on sleeping.

"No, my roommate will come over in a while." Lin Jiang smiled at him, "Go back quickly, and review after you finish your sleep."

"En." Ruan Chu was a little reluctant to leave, but now he really needs to focus on studying, so he didn't hesitate anymore, got up and whispered to Lin Jiang, "Then I'll go back first" before turning and leaving.

Lin Jiang watched his figure go in the direction of the dormitory building, and did not get up until he could no longer see him, went out and locked the door to go back to the dormitory.

——After the court meeting was disbanded, he happened to see it when Ruan Chu accepted the boy's gift.

That boy should be Ruan Chu's classmate. He hasn't met him before, but it can be seen that Ruan Chu and him are not very familiar. The two of them only have a few words of conversation, but even if it is only for a moment, it can be seen that The two chatted very happily, with brisk smiles on their young and handsome faces, and the tip of Ruan Chu's ears were still red when he accepted the gift, similar to when he was usually shy in front of him.

The wind of the new year blew through with a bone-piercing chill, and it shook a certain string in his mind called a sense of crisis, which instantly woke him up from his original idea of ​​maintaining friendship.

Some kind of inexplicable sourness gradually filled his heart, and he suddenly realized that a good-looking, gentle and easy-talking boy like Ruan Chu is not necessarily only a girl who strikes up a conversation, but also a boy.

But if Ruan Chu's future partner will be a man, Lin Jiang will not let Ruan Chu's choice become anyone other than herself.
