stepping into the night

As the second week of the new semester passed, Lin Jiang was successfully admitted to the Guangqi Class as expected. The first thing she did after getting the result was to ask Ruan Chu if she had eaten on time as usual, and then asked Ruan Chu to go to the hospital for medical treatment. Gastroscopy review.

Ruan Chu's own wish is that he doesn't want to spend a few hundred dollars more for reexamination, thinking that after taking a course of medicine, he will be fine if he works and rests on time.But he didn't want Lin Jiang to spend too much time on him, even though Lin Jiang's caring was the sweetest thing for him.

The busiest two weeks of school have passed, and the courses and daily life are slowly getting on the right track of routine.

Since the courses in the Guangqi class became full and she had to take care of the part-time job in the milk tea shop, Lin Jiang could hardly find a large amount of spare time to stay with Ruan Chu, and Ruan Chu's major was also reduced this semester. When it was full, it seemed that the time the two met was not as much as last semester.

But the unknowingly warming relationship between the two of them did not fade because of the distance. Some feelings that were originally hidden behind the greenness and anxiety gradually emerged, intertwined into a tacit interaction.

This change is somewhat obvious on the two of them, and even friends around them have also noticed the clues.

"Youngest, what happy event has happened to you recently?" Zhou Yue noticed that Ruan Chu didn't go to bed after washing up at night, instead of falling asleep like before, but crossed his legs to read the news on the phone, smiling with eyes like peach petals. It became a crescent moon, and the whole person seemed to be radiating light.

"Ah? No." Ruan Chu raised his head upon hearing the sound, and looked blankly at Zhou Yue who was wearing a mask, "Is there something wrong with my appearance?"

"No, very wrong," Zhou Yue nodded solemnly, "You haven't been quite right since you came back from school."

"What?" Ruan Chu was even more puzzled, and opened the bed curtain a little bit, looked at Ye Xingzhi and Zhao Tong, but saw that the other two roommates also nodded in agreement at this time.

"You've been much more cheerful recently than before." Ye Xingzhi concluded in a nutshell, "It's not accurate to say that you are passionate about learning, but it's more like falling in love."

"The youngest who falls in love doesn't know how to fall in love." Zhou Yue's eyes widened, and his original thoughts were distracted by this interruption, "We made a bet last semester, who would get out of the order first in our dormitory, at that time No one voted for the youngest."

"Yes," Zhao Tong recalled, and corrected him honestly, "Boss Ye voted for the youngest."

"He voted blindly. He didn't count them. There are two votes in total. One vote is for the youngest, and the other is for you, Tongtong. Don't you think it's a bit unreliable?"

"Don't you think that you can't even win the first prize of the sports academy delivered to you, isn't it even more unreliable?"

……

They were arguing seriously, but the person on the topic blushed quietly because of the conversation, quietly retreated into his curtain, read the message Lin Jiang sent him, and asked him if he would go to the library on weekends , but no matter when Ruan Chu answered, Lin Jiang would reserve a seat for him in advance.

—This is where they spend most of their time together.Because Lin Jiang is still preparing for the internship school exam in addition to her daily courses and work in the milk tea shop. Once she passes, she will be able to get an internship in the best local middle school, which is not only nearly a year earlier than her classmates in the same grade. Go for an internship, and there is a very high probability of being directly hired by the internship school.

This kind of preferential treatment looks very attractive, but it corresponds to the effort behind it, which is a thousand times more hard work than my classmates at the same level.

Of course, others may not be able to see this kind of dedication, but Li An, who was also admitted to the Guangqi class like Lin Jiang and was still in the same dormitory after being separated, has a deeper understanding.It's just that Lin Jiang's aura is not as cold and alienated as before, but much softer. This doesn't seem to be what such hard work can bring to people.

Even if the two of them met each other on weekdays and didn't stay together much, Ruan Chu could feel that Lin Jiang was sparing no effort to get this early internship spot, and it could be seen that Lin Jiang had devoted almost all her energy to this.

This kind of desperate effort seems to be a bit too much, but Ruan Chu understands Lin Jiang's choice better than anyone else—they don't go to college to enjoy campus life, but to break through the heavy locks that life has bound on them. I have to do my best to seize every opportunity that can lead to early financial independence and reduce the burden on the family.

Seeing Lin Jiang in such a state, Ruan Chu would also feel a kind of motivation to support him to move forward, but no matter how empathetic and understanding he felt, apart from admiration and admiration, Ruan Chu would still feel very distressed.

But all he can do is to strive to improve his professional knowledge, quietly catch up with Lin Jiang's footsteps, and some insignificant things, but what he doesn't know is that Lin Jiang silently watches everything he does , and engraved on the heart.

——His Ruan Ruan has unlimited expectations and trust in him, how can he disappoint Ruan Chu?

The spring indulged in study passed quietly between the two people who ignored it, but still left some lingering tenderness in a friendly way, which intertwined and fell on the two people, and lasted until the early summer.

After half the term, the college held an English speech contest. Ruan Chu remembered what Lin Jiang had told him about getting all the extra points in the comprehensive test, so he signed up along with him.

Ruan Chu actually didn't like to stand on the big stage and meet the attention of hundreds of people, but he also wanted to follow in Lin Jiang's footsteps and strive for this rare opportunity.

Speech Contest Preliminary Competition is just handing in speech scripts, and the top ten will be selected to enter the finals after internal selection by the director of the sponsoring department, and the finals will give live speeches in the hall of the college building.

This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Ruan Chu's heart, and made him walk out of his unknown comfort zone, and practiced his speech repeatedly in private.He didn't mention this matter to Lin Jiang. On the one hand, he didn't want to distract Lin Jiang, and on the other hand, he couldn't tell whether he expected Lin Jiang to come and see him to participate in the competition.

——If Lin Jiang was there, he would feel much more at ease. Lin Jiang is all his confidence, but he was also worried that something would happen to him. He wanted to leave his best side to Lin Jiang instead of being nervous on the podium And stumbling myself.

The fact is that Ruan Chu performed quite well in that speech contest. Even though he didn't have a well-fitting suit, his aura when he entered the state was enough to make everyone focus on his speech and every move.

In the middle of the speech, Ruan Chu saw Lin Jiang sitting in the middle of the last row. When the two eyes met, he could read the silent encouragement and affirmation from Lin Jiang's always smiling eyes when facing him. Ruan Chu Quickly ended the last sentence, and then slightly raised the corners of his lips almost invisible in the gap of breathing, and smiled at Lin Jiang.

This is a hall where all the students of the academy are sitting, only they can understand each other, and they interact quietly.

After getting down from the podium and the host announced the ranking, when Ruan Chu got the first place, several roommates who grabbed the front row cheered happily and rushed over to hug Ruan Chu, as excited as if they had won some national award. Holding Ruan Chu in his arms, he could barely breathe, so he could only look at Lin Jiang through the gap.

Ruan Chu on the podium has an irresistible charm and radiance.Lin Jiang also likes Ruan Chu like this.

He smiled lightly at Ruan Chu and nodded resolutely, not wanting to embarrass Ruan Chu, he shook his head slightly at him, turned around and left with the flow of people, not letting Ruan Chu abandon his enthusiastic roommates to find him.

Lin Jiang's appearance was Ruan Chu's biggest surprise, but he didn't worry about gains and losses as before. He looked back at the direction Lin Jiang left, and was obediently dragged by his roommates to the cafeteria for supper to celebrate.

This is a tacit understanding formed between the two people unconsciously.

On the day when Lin Jiang came out with the results, Ruan Chu was even more nervous than himself. He went straight to the milk tea shop after his shift in the archives room, but he didn't want to ask Lin Jiang directly in front of so many people.

He believed that with Lin Jiang's strength, he would definitely get the spot, and this honor should belong to Lin Jiang.

But if there is an emergency, Lin Jiang will be very sad, right?

Ruan Chu got a little tangled for a while, unlike when he came to find Lin Jiang before, he found a corner to lie on the bar and watch Lin Jiang work quietly. It was the least noticeable place but close enough to Lin Jiang, so he went to find it. Sitting down at the table next to the pillars, while waiting for Lin Jiang to get off work, he racked his brains thinking, if Lin Jiang really didn't get the quota, what should he say to make Lin Jiang not so disappointed?

Ruan Chu thought that the place where he was sitting was already hidden and would not attract attention, but he never thought about the importance of himself to Lin Jiang, so that as long as Ruan Chu appeared beside Lin Jiang, Lin Jiang's eyes would definitely fall on on him.

Lin Jiang could naturally guess that he wanted to ask himself the result, and he only wanted to share the joy of suffering and happiness with Ruan Chu, but he didn't know why Ruan Chu Mingming came over and suddenly changed his mind and didn't get the milk tea as before. Instead of coming from the bar counter of the store, he found a seat next to the wall pillar of the cafeteria with a tangled expression on his face.

But it doesn't matter, the thing that needs his most effort to fight for has passed.The most important thing for him now is to get this shy little boy back to his side in a legitimate way, and he will be with him for the rest of his life.

When it was close to closing time, Lin Jiang quickly packed up the things in the store, locked the bar door, and walked towards the place where Ruan Chu was sitting.

All the windows in the huge cafeteria were also closed, leaving only a few lights. Except for the staff, there were only two students left, Lin Jiang and Ruan Chu.

Lin Jiang put the last cup of milk tea she made just now into Ruan Chu's hands, and the two looked at each other for a moment, then got up and walked out side by side - that was the road around the lake that they took last semester, and now they were unfamiliar Also familiar.

The two of them sat down on the bench by the lake. It was already summer, and the night wind was a bit cool, but not biting, and very refreshing.

"Aren't you going to ask me about the result?" Lin Jiang spoke first.

Ruan Chu was stunned for a moment, and then keenly caught the light smile contained in his words scattered in the night, and the stone hanging in his heart was immediately confirmed.

"You can definitely." Ruan Chu turned his head to look at Lin Jiang, his eyes were bent, and the eyes reflected the intoxicating moonlight were as gentle and trusting as ever.

Lin Jiang looked into his eyes seriously, and those emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for many days were hooked out together, which gave Lin Jiang the courage to put all her eggs in one basket, and asked him again:

"Besides this, don't ask me anything else?"
