stepping into the night

Perhaps the emotion brewing in Lin Jiang's eyes was too strong, Ruan Chu subconsciously closed her eyes.

He seemed to feel that the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose was gently picked up by someone, and then a soft petal touched his eyelashes, like a winter plum falling from a branch When the delicate petals rub against the skin, it has a refreshing fragrance, and then it is blown away by the wind.

As if nothing had happened, and as if all of this came too hastily, Ruan Chu had no time to appreciate it, and it had already quietly disappeared in the sound of clear and shallow breathing.

Ruan Chu's heart trembled, and he opened his eyes in a panic. The frame of the glasses on the bridge of his nose that seemed to have slipped to the tip of his nose was still firmly in its original position. He went to take the painting off the drawing board, not daring to look up at Lin Jiang's expression.

He thought, too bad, why did he have such a reaction like asking for a kiss?What would Lin Jiang think of him?

"Something fell on your glasses." Lin Jiang's voice of explanation rang softly in his ears, and he took the painting from his hand, and his fingertips touched Ruan Chu's slightly cool knuckles unconsciously, "This is the best gift I've ever received."

Ruan Chu blinked, and answered in a low voice, his eyes were fixed on the knuckles of the two who had just touched each other for a moment, and he couldn't help but have a certain guess in his heart.

——Could it be my illusion?

But what Ruan Chu didn't know was that at the same time, Lin Jiang, who was sitting next to him, was also feeling uneasy.

Lin Jiang's palms also ooze a little sweat, secretly thinking that Ruan Chu doesn't seem to resist his approaching that seems to cross the line, so he just closed his eyes subconsciously, is it also because of the same feelings as himself?

"It's too cold outside, let's go back to the dormitory first." Lin Jiang cleared her throat and stood up first.

"Senior, are you going back to the dormitory? My roommates should have already woken up. I want to go back and put away the drawing things first." Ruan Chu lowered his head, packed his painting tools neatly, and stood up with the drawing board in his arms. Jiang walked out of the garden side by side.

"I won't go back," Lin Jiang thought for a while, "I'll accompany you. After putting away your things, you can go to the cafeteria to occupy the sofa and sit for a while, and we will leave school together after eating."

"Okay." Ruan Chu bent his eyes, and subconsciously raised his face to give Lin Jiang a smile, but he suddenly remembered the gentle touch just now, and quickly turned away his eyes.

It was almost eleven o'clock when the two arrived at dormitory 611. Since Lin Jiang was not a member of their dormitory, Ruan Chu didn't open the door directly with the key, but knocked on the door and waited for his roommate to open it.

"Youngest, don't you always bring your keys when you go out? Did you forget today?" It was Zhou Yue who came to open the door.

He should have just woken up and washed, with a mask still on his face, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Jiang behind Ruan Chu. He was stunned and realized that this was the senior Ruan Chu was talking about, before Ruan Chu could explain. He said hello to Lin Jiang clearly: "It's the senior that Ruan Chu said, right? Hello, hello, let's go to the dormitory and sit down for a while. We've almost packed up and we're ready to go."

"No need, I'll go to the cafeteria with my seniors first after I put away my things, you guys clean up slowly, don't worry." Ruan Chu's bed was near the door, and he leaned the drawing board against the wall behind the bed, and followed in a low voice Zhou Yue explained.

"Well, it's the first time you bring a friend to our dormitory, what's so embarrassing." Zhou Yue tore off the mask on his face, smiled politely at Lin Jiang, raised his hand to hook Ruan Chu's shoulder and took it with him. He walked a little inside and whispered to him, "Let the senior sit in your seat and chat for a while, just drag my chair over and sit."

Zhao Tong was drying clothes on the balcony. Ye Xingzhi was reading in his place wearing earphones. Zhou Yue who was passing by kicked the leg of the chair. Then he took off the earphones and followed Zhou Yue's signal to look at Ruan Chu, slightly He nodded and greeted Lin Jiang calmly, as if he was not surprised by his arrival at all.

"Senior, do you know Ye Xingzhi?" Ruan Chu was a little surprised at their bland reaction. He opened the curtain beside his desk, moved the chair out for Lin Jiang to sit on, and sat down on the table with his hands. Clean up the desk.

Seeing him like this, Lin Jiang didn't refuse, and sat down on the chair that Ruan Chu pushed for him: "I met him a few times when I went to the student union office to hand in the materials. I don't think I know him."

Ruan Chu nodded, thinking of something, turned around and took the candy box on the second shelf of the bookshelf and handed it to Lin Jiang: "This fruit candy is quite sweet, senior, do you want to taste it?"

Lin Jiang: "..."

Lin Jiang paid attention to the packing box. If I remembered correctly, it should have been given to Ruan Chu by the boy next to the playground exit on New Year's Day. It seems that Ruan Chu opened it and shared it with his roommates after returning to the dormitory.Thinking of how many sips of vinegar she had eaten for this box of candy, Lin Jiang felt a little helpless, but said nothing, raised her hand to pick out an orange-flavored one from the inside, removed the package, bit it into her mouth and sipped it.

Tsk, where is the sweetness?

But Ruan Chu obviously couldn't see his mental activities from his usual calm expression, so he was quite happy to see that he didn't seem to be disgusted.

"Oh! It's our youngest who brought his friends back!" Zhao Tong strode into the dormitory with his chicken coop on his head when he heard the noise, and the voice called Ruan Chu was also quite emotional, very rich. The unique old father temperament at the beginning.

After getting along for a semester, Ruan Chu has gotten used to Zhao Tong's exaggerated care and care, but now in front of Lin Jiang, it's like an elder calling him by his nickname in front of his boyfriend. He was a little embarrassed.

"Senior Lin, right? Hello, hello." Zhao Tong hung the hanger back on the hook on the closet door, and quickly brushed his hair with his hands a few times before greeting Lin Jiang enthusiastically, "I chatted with Ruan Chu before. I heard him say it sometime."

"Hello." Lin Jiang couldn't smile much when facing others, so she just nodded politely and greeted Zhao Tong politely.

A few people in the dormitory quickly packed up, ready to go to the cafeteria to eat, and then went to the location of the secret room that everyone had checked in advance. Lin Jiang also told Li An and Liu Lei in her dormitory in advance that they would come at about twelve o'clock, just in Meet at the school gate.

"Accordingly, this time is really fast. It feels like I'm on winter vacation without learning much." Several people walked slowly towards the east gate after eating and drinking, Zhou Yue and Ye Xingzhi walked in front, Ruan Chu and Lin Jiang was a few steps behind them side by side, and Zhao Tong was the one who moved back and forth freely between the two rows of people.

"To be honest," Zhou Yue tilted his head back, "Although we major in English, why do I feel that my English level is getting worse and worse."

"Then you have to ask yourself why you went to class." Ye Xingzhi shook his shoulders, and pushed back Zhou Yue who was trying to lean on him lazily.

"Next semester, I will start preparing the PPT for the English speech." Ruan Chu listened to their conversation, and his steps became brisk according to his mood. He couldn't help but bend his eyes and join the topic of the roommates, "The teacher said that everyone has to go on stage and write off the script. Speak for eight to 15 minutes."

"It's too embarrassing for me," Zhou Yue said, "If I had this level, I would have applied for a job at the Ministry of Magic."

"That's not the same thing as our major." Zhao Tong laughed, "What are you thinking?"

Lin Jiang was next to Ruan Chu, but she kept silent. Ruan Chu didn't notice that every time he was talking, his eyes would be focused on him. From a distance, Ruan Chu could find that the emotions hidden in Lin Jiang's eyes, with a gentle smile, were exactly the same as when he was facing Lin Jiang.

"Brother Jiang." Li An saw Lin Jiang walking towards him first, and waved his hand specially when he called him.

Only then did Lin Jiang look away from Ruan Chu's face, looked at Li An, and nodded to indicate that she saw it.

Li An and Liu Lei have always had admiration for Lin Jiang, but not enough intimacy.Although Lin Jiang doesn't lose her temper or make faces with anyone, she has a sense of indifference and alienation, which makes people subconsciously avoid having too much contact with him, but after staying with him for a long time, they will feel that he is actually He's a man who couldn't be easier to get along with.

It's just that the sense of estrangement that still exists probably comes from Lin Jiang's own treatment of the outside world, and no one can get close.

What's more, the situation in their dormitory is not suitable for anyone who has a close friendship with whom.

"Hello, seniors!" Zhao Tong, who was taller than the seniors present, greeted them very warmly, and the other three also greeted Lin Jiang's roommates.

Since the departure time of the few people was earlier than the actual time, and it was the day before the official start of the winter vacation, they were not in a hurry to do anything. The group went to the bus stop outside the school gate and waited for the bus to go to the shopping center in the city center, talking and laughing. lock up.

The ages of the several people were only about one year apart, and they had a lot of common topics, and because Zhao Tong played a full role in the scene, they quickly chatted together, and no one noticed that Ruan Chu and Lin Jiang were sitting together. What's being talked about in the last row of two-seaters.

"What are your plans for winter vacation?" Lin Jiang asked.

"It hasn't been arranged yet," Ruan Chu thought for a while, "I'll see if the tutoring institution where I worked as a teaching assistant in the summer vacation still recruits people. I should still be working part-time."

The two people's family backgrounds are similar, and they got to know each other better because of their part-time jobs. They don't feel uncomfortable talking about such topics, but they can easily share with each other some interesting things they encountered while working.

"The students in the class where I was a teaching assistant in the summer vacation were very cute and obedient." Ruan Chu recalled, with a lot of smiles on his face, "Those students probably know that we have just graduated, and there is a classmate who He has to sit next to me every class. At the beginning, he didn’t know what he was going to do. Later, I realized that he was afraid that the teacher would assign a quiz to make him wake up and read the answers, so he wanted me to check for him to see if the questions were done right."

His voice is not loud, but his tone is very light, and he can feel that he is also in a good mood.

Ruan Chu is always shy and docile in front of everyone, what Lin Jiang has seen the most is when he is blushing in front of her because of embarrassment, sharing his life experiences with him in such a relaxed and carefree manner It's the first time.

Lin Jiang also likes Ruan Chu, who is a little thoughtful.
