run to him

The dimly lit school gate appeared in sight, and Jing Ye felt as if it had passed away.

A few years ago, Jing Ye also graduated from this school.His grades are not bad, although unlike Yu Zhou who is on the list every time, his college entrance examination scores are not too disappointing.

Then, just like what Ye Xiaohui said every time, Jing Ye put aside the financial major and changed his choice to the Media College on his own initiative.The family members knew nothing about his major, and were trying to digest this decision, Jing Ye colluded with Zhao Lu again, and simply bought a train ticket and headed north.

The three years of high school are already far away. Through the car window, Jing Ye watched a few students in school uniforms walk out of the door from time to time, and sighed with rare vicissitudes: the days when you don’t have to think about anything are so wonderful.

get out of class ends at 10:30, and students file out from the door.Most of the umbrellas are dark in color, covering everyone's faces. In the rain, the shadows of trees and street lights show a gloomy tone.

Jing Ye parked the car on the side of the road and waited for a long time. Every time he saw someone of similar stature, he would always get nervous for a moment.Seeing that it wasn't Lin Chan, she felt indescribably disappointed.

Finally, Lin Chan, who was wearing a dark blue school uniform, came out of the school gate. He trotted a few steps against the corner of the wall, hesitantly glanced at the increasingly fine rainwater, put down the schoolbag covering his head, and his body movements were a little at a loss.

Didn't you bring an umbrella?

Jing Ye frowned, and an unknown fire surged up in his heart, so he double-flashed.

The lights flickered, and Lin Chan quickly spotted his car.But Lin Chan was very vigilant, squinted her eyes, and looked at the license plate number for a long time, until she saw half a familiar face through the gap of the windshield wiper, she was relieved, put down her schoolbag, and quickly ran towards Jing Ye's direction .

It is convenient to park in the back seat, but Lin Chan turned around and chose the co-pilot.The material of the school uniform jacket is still waterproof, Lin Chan stroked her bangs that were too long, and kicked her schoolbag under the seat casually.

He roughly wiped his face with his sleeve, then turned to look at Jing Ye: "Thank you."

Jing Ye didn't start the car immediately, stretched his arms, took out a disposable towel from the pocket behind the driver's seat and handed it to Lin Chan.The other party didn't answer, and his eyes were a little puzzled: "Huh?"

"Hair is wet." Jing Ye said, and passed the towel forward again, "Wipe it, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Chan nodded slowly: "...Thank you brother."

He didn't realize that his hair was all stuck to his cheeks. After taking it apart, he wiped it randomly twice, then shook his head, and almost covered the top of his head with a towel.

This action fell into Jing Ye's eyes. He thought of the little local dog raised by the neighbor downstairs. It was black and white. A string of plum blossom footprints followed the master back home—the association was so rich that Jing Ye couldn't help turning his eyes sideways.

His tense expression looked a bit angry to Lin Chan, and the hand that wiped his hair stopped patting, Lin Chan asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

The soft music was suddenly interrupted, Jing Ye was thinking about the mysterious connection between Lin Chan and the puppy, when he heard the question, he stepped on the gas pedal before he could identify the content.

Then because the clutch was lifted too quickly, the car stalled in the heavy rain.

Lin Chan: "..."

Jing Ye was extremely embarrassed, and frantically restarted the ignition without saying a word.

Lin Chan couldn't help smiling a little, folded the towel and put it on her lap.His eyes moved slightly, as if his attention was on the wiper: "Brother, how did you get your driver's license?"

Jing Ye didn't speak, and focused on driving the car onto the main road.

The speed was steady, and the nameless fire that was about to extinguish in his heart rekindled, fermented together with the moisture warmed by the air conditioner in the car, and directly hit the temple, which made Jing Ye feel a little headache.

"Didn't you bring an umbrella?" He said, trying not to sound too concerned.

Lin Chan: "I brought it, but if you come to pick it up, I will lend it to a classmate."

These words caught my ears, and it was logical for Jing Ye to ask "male or female classmate" in his next sentence.But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but choked up, as if it was inappropriate to ask any questions, so he had to say "um" forcefully.

But Lin Chan bent her eyes and explained by herself: "It's a girl."

Jing Ye: "... Ah."

As an unnecessary supplement, Lin Chan slowly restrained her smile, and continued to wipe her hair one by one.

The silence between the two seemed to have become the norm, and neither Jing Ye nor Lin Chan had any intention of breaking it.

In the past, Jing Ye and Lin Chan had endless gossips.Ever since Lin Chan confessed his original "love" last time, Jing Ye didn't know how to deal with it—be softer, he was afraid that Lin Chan would say similar things again, which would be disturbing; if he wanted to be tougher, Jing Ye really couldn't do it.

Lin Chan, who confessed, didn't take it seriously, but his expression was contrived, which would only make him look petty, and more like he had a ghost in his heart, so Jing Ye finally had to keep his mouth shut.

The late-night emotional program on the car radio is coming to an end, and the anchor's voice spreads in the narrow space:

"At the end of the show, the guest with the tail number '2193' ordered an old song "Scar" for all the listeners who are still on the road. I hope everyone can find a way to heal themselves. I wish everyone a good night."

"...It's just that you have to admit now that love is sometimes a kind of sinking.

"It's late at night, who else keeps you awake counting your scars.

"Why do you want to leave a lamp before going to sleep..."

Jing Ye took Lin Chan directly back to his home, found the spare pajamas and gave them to him to take a bath, but when he returned to the bedroom, his mind was still in a mess, and he couldn't figure out how he agreed to Lin Chan's proposal just now——

"I didn't bring the key, they must all be asleep, brother, how about I go live at your house?"

"The entrance exam... yes, tomorrow I will get up early and go home to get the materials."

"But if you think it's inconvenient, forget it, I'll just take two steps by myself."

... There was no room for him to refute at all.

Too sly.

After all, it was winter, and the rain was gradually receding. After Jing Ye simply washed up, the sound of dripping water outside was covered by the wind.He yawned, charged his phone, and the sound of footsteps approaching behind him.

"Brother..." Lin Chan's voice seemed to be hoarse, and she said half complaining and half joking, "I seem to be wearing your pajamas a little too short."

Just as Jing Ye was about to say "impossible", Lin Chan walked up to him, guessing that he didn't believe it, and raised a calf directly: "Look, isn't it?"

Originally, it was just the right length to fit on Lin Chan's body, and his ankles were exposed. After the boy took a shower, there was a light lemon smell in his collar and hair, warmed by his body temperature.His tone of voice was mixed with three points of grievance, and also carried a hint of imperceptible "I'm taller than you" pride.

Smelling the familiar fragrance, Jing Ye suddenly forgot what he wanted to say, only felt that the distance between him and Lin Chan seemed a little too close, and instinctively stepped back and sat down on the bed.

Fortunately, Jing Ye had an excellent reaction on the spot. He didn't show timidity, and didn't let Lin Chan see the panic for a moment, so he pulled the pillow and patted it: "You can sleep here, my new quilt, if it's cold, we'll turn on the electric heater blanket……"

"No need." Lin Chan slipped into the bed, covering only her eyes.

"Good night brother."

Jing Ye couldn't tell which way he was, so he scratched his hair.But Lin Chan's appearance was as childish as he remembered, Jing Ye patted Lin Chan's forehead: "Okay, go to bed early, I'll call you when the alarm clock rings tomorrow."

"You have to say good night to me." Lin Chan said, his voice was too sticky, the words stuck together like eating candy.

Jing Ye sighed: "Okay, good night, Mumu."

After hearing this sentence, Lin Chan smiled with satisfaction, turned sideways and curled up into a small egg roll, and closed her eyes straight away.

Jing Ye turned off the light, but he didn't fall asleep immediately.

He walked out of the bedroom lightly, and after washing, he stood in the hallway and didn't dare to enter the door.Surrounded by thoughts similar to "being close to the hometown", Jing Ye realized later that his good night to Lin Chan was too gentle, almost in a breathless voice, lest he disturb the precarious red line between them.

He was exceptional from beginning to end tonight.

Hearing it was raining, he took the car keys to pick him up inexplicably. He hadn't driven a car before and just took Lin Chan home. He could have thrown it in the neighborhood next door, because the other party's unreliable "I didn't bring the keys" made me lose my mind. Dazed, he took it back to his residence, found clothes, poured hot water, and finally stuck it beside the bed, saying good night to Lin Chan.

"What the hell am I doing?" Jing Ye stood there dumbfounded, thinking.

Fog slowly formed after the rain on a winter night, and shadows could be seen in the gaps where the curtains were not closed, and the sharp edges and corners were gradually melted in the fog.

Jing Ye drank the water and went back to the bedroom in the dark, the side that was vacated was already cold.

When he fell asleep, he clearly heard the breathing around him slow down, and then continued to rise and fall rhythmically.Jing Ye quickly fell asleep in the sound of breathing, he yawned, his eyelids were too heavy to open.

He seldom shared the bed with others, and at night when he thought he would suffer from insomnia, Jing Ye slept very soundly.

The next day, Jing Ye was woken up by the alarm clock.

When the first ear-piercing sound of radar sounded, Jing Ye pressed it almost reflexively. He wanted to continue to sleep, but a thought came up deep in his subconscious mind: Lin Chan was going to take the entrance exam today.

Jing Ye was startled by himself—it could not be said that it was because Lin Chan was still a sequela of exam-oriented education—and he suddenly became fully awake. He didn't have time to get up and touch the other half, and was shocked again.

The bed was actually empty.

Jing Ye rushed out of the bedroom almost before he could put on his clothes. Before he could find anyone, he saw Lin Chan standing and pushing the door in: holding a few plastic bags in his hand, he vaguely saw that they were siu mai and fresh meat dumplings, and there were two other bags soy milk.Sensing his gaze, Lin Chan raised her head and gave Jing Ye a particularly hearty smile.

"Morning, brother." Lin Chan seemed to know what he was going to ask, so she answered first, "I'll get my admission ticket when I go home, and I passed by that steamed bun shop you like, and bought some."

Jing Ye: "..."

Lin Chan: "Send me to the examination room after eating, it's almost seven o'clock."

Jing Ye: "Ah...okay, 2 minutes."

He brazenly said that he wanted to wake up the examinee, but in the end, not only did he almost oversleep, he didn't even know the examinee got up, but he also asked the examinee to buy breakfast——

It's like wanting to take care of someone once, only to be taken care of instead.

And for no reason, he went out with Lin Chan, and Jing Ye unskillfully drove him to the test center.

When Lin Chan was about to get out of the car, Jing Ye couldn't help it anymore: "It's not my dad who wants to see you off in the morning...why not let him see you off?"

As far as my three-legged cat technology is concerned, aren't you afraid of being delayed?

Lin Chan pulled up her schoolbag and took a deep look at him, with a happy smile on her lips: "Maybe you send me off, I think I can pass the exam."

After speaking, Lin Chan opened the door and left. I don't know which classmate I saw outside the examination room, and ran over in three steps at a time.He joined a girl with a ponytail, and nodded to the tall, thin young man in a short beige down jacket next to him, as if he was listening to what the other party said, and finally entered the examination room with the girl.

Lin Chan's figure was quickly submerged among the many candidates. Jing Ye held the steering wheel and did not move for a long time.

"Will I pick you up after the exam?" The words stuck in his throat.

Jing Ye suddenly thought that he didn't seem to need an answer.
