be late

- "Mr. Xiaobai, one of the journals you submitted to last time has been selected."

- "On "Art Observation", there are still two articles left, come on!"

- "When will you have dinner?"

Shu Yubai was walking under the thick shade of trees at the intersection, carrying a bag, textbooks and a stack of homework papers.

On a spring day, there were many students coming and going under the shade of the roadside trees. It was time to eat at noon. There was a song on the stereo hidden in the treetops, a clear female voice, singing slowly.

It was Shi Chu who sent the message.

Teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts want to be evaluated for professional titles, but only paintings are not enough. They have to publish core journals, and more than three articles are enough.Shu Yubai didn't have this awareness earlier, so he wrote a thesis when he graduated, focusing more on practice, that is, painting.

Today, it is two short of three articles.

Just barely enough to pass the line.

Shu Yubai glanced at the chat box, smiled, and replied to her by voice:

- "Okay, when do you want? What to eat?"

Put it back in the bag after speaking.

In the early spring, when the wind blows away the clouds, the blue sky is as clean as a piece of clear ore.

She was wearing a long chiffon dress with suspenders, lisianthus flowers were lightly printed on it, the material was heavy, and the hem of the skirt was lifted up inadvertently as she moved, revealing a white and slippery calf.

A student on the side of the road recognized him and greeted him with sparkling eyes: "Teacher Shu."

"Hello, teacher—" a group of people dragged their voices.

"Oh, the teacher can't remember yours—don't be ashamed and leave quickly."

Shu Yubai was startled for a moment, looked over, and smiled softly:

"Who says I don't remember?"

A group of young students were taken aback for a moment, then shyly huddled together and ran away.

Young is so good.

Shu Yubai lowered his head and smiled as he recalled.

Outside the small light gray building, there is a lush flowering tree, which cannot be identified, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, or pear blossoms all over the tree, without a single leaf.

Dense white florets are clustered on the branches, like mist, with a light fragrance.

Shu Yubai's car was parked under the tree, and a layer of petals fell, and the wind blew, and they fell gently.

gorgeous.

She was amazed and couldn't resist taking a photo.

After the shooting, I sent it to Shi Chu, saying, look, the flowers are all in bloom.

She got into the car, and after a while, Shi Chu replied.

It is a "?".

Shu Yubai: "...?"

She looked at it for a while without knowing why, and suddenly, her heart jumped: she sent it to the wrong person!

She, unexpectedly, sent it to Nan Xue!

Shu Yubai's fingertips were cold, and her back was covered with wet sweat. If she made such plausible things, would Nan Xue think that she was deliberately... seductive?

The car was very stuffy, the temperature rose little by little, and after a while Shu Yubai felt his cheeks burning, but there, Nan Xue didn't reply except for a question mark.

She took a deep breath and reversed the car to hit the road.

Forget it, let her think what she wants.

While waiting for the traffic light, the screen lit up again.

Shu Yubai's heart skipped a beat, before looking at the screen, many specious expectations flashed through his mind, thinking silently, who is it?Did she reply?

Nan Xue sent a message:

- "The flowers are blooming, go for a walk by the lake at night?"

Shu Yubai looked at the screen quietly, curled his fingertips slightly, and replied: "Okay."

Last time Shu Yubai made an appointment with her, and in a few days, he would take her to the art gallery to see other people's works, but Nan Xue didn't seem to be very interested, so Shu Yubai was a little entangled, planning where to go this time.

She is driving on the road.

At night, the concert hall was brightly lit, she thought, do you want to listen to someone's performance?I checked on the Internet, and there was a violinist's solo in the evening, but the time was tight, and if I couldn't catch up, I didn't book tickets in advance.

Just go for a walk by the lake.

Shu Yubai arrived half an hour early, put on light makeup, took down the mirror in front of the car, took a photo, it was exquisite, would Nan Xue like it?She became slightly nervous and parked the car in the parking space designated by the lake shore.

Opening the car door, the light brown high heels dropped.

The next second, she got out of the car and happened to meet a pair of black and white eyes.

Nan Xue: "..."

Shu Yubai: "..."

The two looked at each other, and the small white Porsche was parked next to Nan Xue. The man had probably just gotten out of the car, and he was wearing a slightly loose coat with little on.

There is a dark green suspender on her cold white and thin shoulders. She is wearing a short skirt, and one side of her hair is pinned behind her ear. The light of the earrings shimmers slightly, and she seems a little uncomfortable.

"cough."

Standing there, Shu Yubai said softly, "What a coincidence, did you remember the time wrong too?"

Nanxue's ears were a little red, but she didn't lie: "No, I'm used to coming half an hour early."

No one spoke for a while.

The air became inexplicably ambiguous, and the self-comforting Shu Yubai chanted along the way instantly failed, and she stood there nervously and motionless.

This is... a date, right?

too obvious.

After a while, Nan Xue said, "Go for a walk?"

"it is good."

Shu Yubai relaxed a little, and asked softly, "Is it better now? Are you dizzy?"

"I'm not dizzy anymore."

Nan Xue walked beside her and said softly, "The fever has subsided."

"That's good."

Shu Yubai's heart beat wildly, and a thought popped up, she thought, why not take the opportunity to ask?Has she been with anyone in the past? For three years, will she be vacant all the time?

"When you were sick before, no one took care of you."

Shu Yubai lowered his head and asked nonchalantly, "Apart from Aunt Zhang... who else?"

Three years later, Shu Yubai didn't feel much remorse for his departure. Many choices were the only ones that could be made right now, and if he did it again, he would still only choose that way.

But she also knows that the consequences can only be borne by herself.

For example: Nanxue has experienced so many things and met so many people, has she met any girl who is attracted to her again?

"Besides Aunt Zhang, there is another person...but she doesn't take care of me very much."

Nan Xue lowered her head, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "She's different from you."

"who is she.

Is it thousands.

Shu Yubai's fingertips were turning white, and he was suppressing a feeling similar to "jealousy".

In the night, the sky is a little warmer. The peach blossoms are full of trees on the shore of the lake, and the willow branches are floating gently with the evening wind. Many tourists are walking under the dim light. I don’t know where the sound of music, light music, Very soft.

"Sit down for a while."

Nan Xue hooked her cuff.

There are benches under the willow trees, facing the lake, under the lights of thousands of houses, the lake is gently rippling and sparkling with the evening wind.

The two sat side by side under the tree.

There are very few opportunities to date together, and this is the first time for Shu Yubai to make such a trial. She brushed one side of her long hair with her little finger, her heart beat faster, and asked softly, "How many exes do you have?"

Nan Xue glanced at her and asked, "What about you?"

Shu Yubai was startled, and thought to himself: If Nan Xue had talked with her, but she was still single, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Shu Yubai lowered his head and did not speak.

But Nan Xue got angry in an instant, thinking, why didn't you talk, you talked again?

She didn't speak, didn't look at Shu Yubai, her ebony-like hair was lifted by the night wind, exposing her cold jaw, she quietly looked at the night in the distance, her eyes were very pale.

His fingertips clenched his palm tightly.

Nan Xue's cell phone rang, Shu Yubai took a look, it was Qianqian.

The next second, Nan Xue lowered her eyes, slid her slender fingertips lightly, and the phone was hung up.

"Why don't you answer?"

Shu Yubai looked at her: "Is it her?"

Nan Xue remained silent and said softly, "You haven't answered that question just now."

Shu Yubai lowered her eyes and looked aside. She leaned on the bench and said calmly, "We talked about a few times—two or three."

Nan Xue clenched her fingertips tightly, but her face was calm.

Where are we at?

Kissed?Or have you tried them all?

Nan Xue lowered her eyelashes, and suddenly felt angina.

She smiled slightly, turned her eyes, and asked, "What's your name? Are you still together?"

"Name."

Shu Yubai looked at her with a smile and said, "Come closer, I'll tell you."

Nan Xue's fingertips were turning white, but she couldn't resist a strange sense of competitiveness. She raised her black hair with her thin white index finger, lowered her eyelashes slightly, and waited for her to speak.

"I lied to you."

Shu Yubai said close to her ear.

The warm breath was passed on word by word.

Shu Yubai bowed his head and said, "Yes, I haven't talked about it."

Her eyes are red.

Cried.

A tear fell and hit the ground, and she said, "If you want me to find another one, I'll find it—I'm not unwanted."

In the next second, Shu Yubai opened her eyes wide, and she was gently hugged.

There is a faint fragrance of gardenia, which is very light and faint. I don't know where it came from, and it goes away with the wind.

The girl lowered her head, her jet-black hair fell down, covering her porcelain-white chin.

The red lips fell between her brows, very lightly, very lightly.

She kissed her forehead.

One touch away.
