The Art of Raiders of Rebirth

The sky is already a little dark, and the rainy weather adds a touch of dampness to this gray color. There are still students coming and going around the school, and the white high-top sneakers on Yi Chengyi's feet are splashed with small pieces of mud by the raindrops. Xiang Qianran grabbed his arm with an umbrella, and the strength he used was a bit more coercive.

He just thought it was a bit strange for two boys to walk together with umbrellas. It was not raining too much now, and it was quite comfortable to be drenched in fine and soft water droplets, but Xiang Qianran seemed to be a little crazy, holding on to the umbrella. His hand went out, although Yi Chengyi felt that there was no need to open an umbrella, but because of his tough attitude, he compromised a little bit, and he had already walked out of the school gate, but this person still grabbed his arm and did not let go .

This kind of behavior is not particularly abnormal, but it still attracts people's attention like a magnet on the street, especially here next to the school, but Yi Chengyi still has a relatively bad reputation.

He shook Xiang Qianran's hand, but couldn't shake it off, so Yi Chengyi simply grabbed his fingers and broke them apart one by one, raised his head and just fell into Xiang Qianran's sight, Yi Chengyi let go Opened his last finger, then rubbed his arm. "I know you want to prove that you are my good friend, but good friends don't really have to walk hand in hand, do they?"

Averting his eyes, Xiang Qianran frowned, and then looked forward, the words spoken from his thin lips did not have the sarcasm in his impression, and the tone seemed to be blaming Yi Chengyi. "You are too thin."

Yi Chengyi raised his eyebrows, walked up a few steps and followed Xiang Qianran's footsteps, but walked outside the umbrella. "I'm still growing taller now, how can I start growing horizontally before the vertical ones are finished, just kidding."

After listening to Yi Chengyi's words, Xiang Qianran slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his double eyelids were no longer so deep because his brows and eyes drooped slightly, and the familiar look of about to tease him appeared on his face again.

"If you are too weak, I will take your girlfriend away."

Yi Chengyi stared at him with wide eyes, waiting for Xiang Qianran to say "I'm just kidding", but the other party didn't move at all, and didn't intend to add another sentence to explain well, after finishing speaking, he He looked away and looked at the shops on both sides, as if he was deciding which one to eat.

"Don't make this kind of joke casually, hey!" Yi Chengyi pushed Xiang Qianran, but he didn't push him at all.

But knowing that the other party was joking, Yi Chengyi didn't continue to struggle.

The two entered a restaurant together, and there were some interactions on the way. The main reason was that they were very happy to see Xiang Qianran and Yi Chengyi, and there was no sense of strangeness when they reunited after a long absence. Perhaps it was because of their age that Xiang Qianran was no longer the same as when he was a child. They didn't give Yi Chengyi any face anymore, they had the atmosphere they should have when talking with each other, and the topics were very lively, even a bit inconsistent with Xiang Qianran's serious appearance when he first appeared.

He has changed a lot, not only in his personality and appearance, but also in his temperament. His conversation has become concise and concise, with an outstanding demeanor. His voice may not be loud, but every sentence is loud. Yi Chengyi still remembers what Xiang Qianran said in his previous life In a word, being a lawyer is a profession that looks beautiful, is boring to say, sounds rich, and is difficult to do. After a long time, Xiang Qianran will be able to excel in this profession, and he can watch this from the sidelines. People describe their lives rigorously stroke by stroke, and slowly realize their dreams. Perhaps this is a kind of right that belongs to friends.

Yi Chengyi sat in front of the table and played with his fingers, wondering if Xiang Qianran ordered a lot of dishes according to the menu because of the reason Yi Chengyi said just now that he was thin. , Yi Chengyi planned to stop, but the waiter finished taking the order and left here before he could say anything.

"I can't finish eating so much, even if I add you." The two sat at the two ends of the table, their opposing appearances were more convenient for talking and talking at any time. Xiang Qianran leaned back on the chair and took the menu in his hand as a Throwing it on the table with a slight arc, resting the back of the finger on the chin, leaning the elbow on the chair, the whole person is sitting casually, Yi Chengyi saw that Xiang Qianran took out something from his trouser pocket, but hid it Don't let him see it at a glance.

"Do you know why I made up my mind to come to you today?"

"Why?" Yi Chengyi was also a little puzzled, there was no news in the past three years, but today he invited God to come, and the appearance of the other party coming to ask me if he wanted to know aroused Yi Chengyi's curiosity.

"Because I moved, now it's just over three hours' drive from my home to your school."

"Oh." Yi Chengyi nodded. Maybe the distance between the two of them was farther before. In fact, if you go on the highway in more than three hours, it will take more than 100 kilometers. In this situation, the two parties want to contact only It is still a bit inconvenient to communicate with a mobile phone.

"In this way, you stretch out your hand first." Xiang Qianran stretched out his hand and tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, leaned forward slightly to look at Yi Chengyi, and stretched out his left hand after a little hesitation, Xiang Qianran After grabbing his hand, he took out the thing in the other hand and covered Yi Chengyi's wrist, flipped it over to measure the size and align it with the buttonhole, and then fastened it.

Let go of Yi Chengyi's hand, and there is a watch with a light brown strap and a black dial on his wrist. The whole watch looks very simple, the hands are silver, and the twelve small dots representing time are shining very brightly , the mirror surface is transparent and has a moist feeling. It is not ostentatious at first glance, but after a closer look, both the design and the material give people a comfortable and transparent feeling.

Intuitively, this watch might be a bit expensive, Yi Chengyi just wanted to take it off, but was stopped by Xiang Qianran, and then a bullet headed towards him.

"Did you forget your birthday?" He frowned, with a questioning tone, and a little bit of dissatisfaction in it, Yi Chengyi covered his head and thought for a while, then returned the same expression, "My birthday doesn't seem to be today... what date is today?"

"Sixteenth, October NO.16, happy birthday, brother."

It happened to be in the period of voice change, but the sound quality still has his unique characteristics. Sitting on the chair, Yi Chengyi felt a hand behind him cover his forehead that had just been played. He turned his head and saw Anderson standing beside him, The expression was very calm, but there was a faint sense of unpleasant silence, he pulled away the stool next to Yi Chengyi and sat down, looking at Xiang Qianran's cold eyes without a trace of heat.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, but I can't find you."

"Don't you have a mobile phone?" Yi Chengyi took out the mobile phone from his pocket and was about to turn on the screen, but found a black screen, which seemed to be turned off because of no battery.

Anderson didn't look at him and didn't speak.

"I'm sorry, my phone seems to be turned off." Yi Chengyi put the phone back into his pocket after trying to turn it on but failed. The atmosphere between Anderson and Xiang Qianran became very strange. Xiang Qianran lowered his head and smiled, it was that A very formulaic smile, with a hint of controlled disdain in it.

"Long time no see, you still like sticking to each other so much."

Yi Chengyi felt something was wrong in his words, and when he wanted to explain, Anderson's hand that was just lightly placed on his forehead went directly to his neck, and Yi Chengyi was led slightly towards him. Tilting, Anderson stared at Xiang Qianran with no expression on his face.

"Because he is my senior brother, I need to learn more from my senior brother."

He scoffed at Anderson's words, but Xiang Qianran didn't make it obvious. He leaned back and looked at Yi Chengyi.

"So what do you think?"

"Ah? Me?" Inexplicably, Yi Chengyi picked up a hot potato. Just now, Yi Chengyi broke away from Anderson's hand, and then met Xiang Qianran's cold gaze.

"I do not know."

Yi Chengyi looked at Xiang Qianran frankly, and the other party seemed to feel Yi Chengyi's sincerity, and smiled lightly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, anyway, he can find what he should learn from you."

Anderson's sitting posture is elegant and upright, and he is still expressionless after hearing Xiang Qianran's unclear words. He and Xiang Qianran have nothing in common since they were young. Talking about their harmony, even sitting in the same place like this seems to make these two people very unhappy.

"We can indeed talk about a painting for a long time. Many things can only be communicated by people in the same field. I think you feel the same." Anderson clasped his fingers on his lap and looked at Xiang Qianran lightly. Yi Chengyi didn't know why he said this, but somehow felt that Anderson seemed to have a victorious attitude when he said this.

"Yes, I do feel the same, but these conversations are only limited to the work in the future. In daily life, everyone should not want to mix work matters into it. After all, everyone needs to rest .”

If Yi Chengyi could sense that the two of them had started a secret battle without gunpowder smoke, then he would lament that Xiang Qianran deserved to be a lawyer, with a mouth full of sarcasm, and his every sentence Even if you don't think about it carefully, you can't find the hint of ridicule in it.

"If you can make a living from your hobbies, it's okay to mix work into your daily life. Only those who do things they don't like all day like to avoid talking about work." Anderson answered calmly, with Yi Chengyi beside him Listen, I feel that what the two of them said seems quite reasonable.

Maybe it was hit by Anderson at a certain point, and Xiang Qianran withdrew his kind appearance at the beginning, and his impatient and bored expression was beyond words. "What's the matter with you looking for One by One?"

"I used to be with him every year on his birthday, and this year is still the case." Anderson saw the plate brought by the waiter, took out his mobile phone and sent a message, and soon someone outside the door delivered a chocolate cake.

"Brother, you are 16 years old, and I have four years left."

Originally, I didn't know what Anderson's four years meant, but Yi Chengyi soon thought that he would leave here before he said before.Realizing that time is running out, Yi Chengyi nodded and hummed, it could be seen that he was a little bit reluctant.

Xiang Qianran seemed to have seen something by the side, and there was a faint glint of vulture in his eyes.

It was supposed to be a relatively relaxing dinner, but as a result, everyone had some negative emotions in their hearts, which caused the whole atmosphere to be a little gloomy. Too wasteful.

"What are you going to do tonight? Where do you plan to live?" Yi Chengyi stood up after wiping his mouth. It's time for him to go back to school. Anderson can probably go back in his family's car, but he doesn't know what's going on with Xiang Qianran now .

Spreading his hands, Xiang Qianran said helplessly. "Squeeze with you and live in the same dormitory temporarily. There is no car to go back now."

"You can go to a hotel outside." Anderson was the first to object.

"I didn't bring my ID."

"I can arrange it for you."

"But I don't want to live." With a smile on his face, Xiang Qianran refused decisively and coldly.

Anderson no longer looked at Qianran, he put his eyes on Yi Chengyi, and Yi Chengyi, who was about to go for a walk with a toothpick in his mouth, instantly became the focus of attention of the two of them again.

It seems that there is another decision to be made...

He has no objection to letting Xiang Qianran live in his dormitory for one night. He also slept together when he was a child, but every time at such times, what Anderson said in his memory popped up again. Contact, Yi Chengyi is considered to have a privilege, but this privilege is also based on the premise that he himself should avoid close contact with others. If Xiang Qianran is allowed to stay for one night, then it will definitely hit Anderson's bottom line , Knowing that you shouldn't do it deliberately, it sounds like being arrogant when you say it.

Pet a ghost!Although Anderson is very kind to him, but this kindness is also mutual, Yi Chengyi is also very kind to him, thinking of this shows that he already respects Anderson very much.

But you can't throw Xiang Qianran here, otherwise he will definitely be angry.

"Let's go, one by one, go to your dormitory." Xiang Qianran patted Yi Chengyi on the shoulder, and pushed him towards the school. Such a request is normal no matter where you analyze it. Same-sex friends There is no reason to refuse to stay for one night because there is no car to go back.Xiang Qianran pushed Yi Chengyi for a few steps, and then put his hand on Yi Chengyi's shoulder. His head turned sideways naturally. From the corner of his eyes, he didn't know if he saw Anderson with a little smile on his face. Unhappy with anger.

Of course, Yi Chengyi who hasn't thought about it will not be led by the nose, but Xiang Qianran pinches him tightly, which is different from the time a long time ago, when Yi Chengyi could easily follow Xiang Qianran's Under the shackles, he ran to Anderson's side, and this time he could feel how much strength Xiang Qianran had used to grab himself.As soon as these two people met, they were so stiff and depressed, but they couldn't think of any solution. For the first time, Yi Chengyi felt powerless, why couldn't they get along well?

"Shouldn't you be more gentle? I thought you were going to break his hand bones." Anderson's words came from behind, Yi Chengyi turned his head and saw Anderson holding Xiang Qianran's arm, his blue eyes narrowed slightly, Exuding a palpitating sense of crisis like the ocean in the dark tide, the voice of speaking seemed to be nailed to the steel plate every word, Anderson's grip was abnormally tight, and the dull pain in the arm felt like he was about to break a bone, if Xiang Qianran If he doesn't let go of Yi Chengyi, he will probably keep pushing like this.

Just this threat is not enough.

Xiang Qianran quickly pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile, and he knew it was an extremely perfunctory smile in order to maintain his quality.

"It's you who wants to pinch the bones of other people's hands, right?"

"I told you to let him go."

"Do not."

"loosen your hand."

"Irefuse to."

Xiang Qianran did too much superficial effort, even though his hand was about to be pinched purple, he still didn't have any strange expression, as if deliberately creating a certain atmosphere, Xiang Qianran suddenly approached Yi Chengyi very intimately. Next to the ear, his lips lightly touched the white auricle, he opened his mouth to say something, in fact, all of this was done in just a few seconds, the touch was so light that even Yi Chengyi didn't notice it.

But Anderson saw it.

Rather than saying something that Anderson didn't want to hear, it was better to say that Xiang Qianran was deliberately testing something with this intimate gesture.

Anderson let go of his hand and punched Xiang Qianran in the face, unable to react instantly, Yi Chengyi was led back a few steps by Xiang Qianran, but fortunately Xiang Qianran let go of his hand in time, Yi Chengyi won't be brought down.

People started to look sideways on the street. Xiang Qianran was still sitting on the ground, lowered his head and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. The dazzling red oozes from the cracked place. He originally wanted to smile with his mouth open, but because There is a wound at the corner of the mouth, so there is no way to achieve that level of publicity.

So, did this kind of thing really happen?

Under the cover of the black Liuhai, there was a trace of disgust in Xiang Qianran's expression. He had long thought that Anderson Lynn was a very disgusting person. The person who dragged his friend away from him probably still treats Yi Cheng Art has disgusting ideas.

He was obviously very angry, but there was still a smile on Xiang Qianran's face, a smile with so many emotions that people couldn't see that it was a smile.

When he realized it, the redness at the corners of Xiang Qianran's mouth was already on his mind. Anderson stood aside with a cold expression, showing no sign of guilt, but Xiang Qianran didn't stand up. Judging from some subtle changes in his expression, it seemed that another An emotion is more than the anger of being beaten.

"It's too much to do it." Yi Chengyi pulled Xiang Qianran up, and looked at Anderson with doubts in his eyes. "He's my friend anyway, and you should respect him."

"But do you respect me?" Anderson stood where he was, only when Yi Chengyi blamed him did his eyes show uneasiness.

But this kind of friendship is too tightly locked up, so harsh that even one's private life needs to be controlled.

"I have always respected you very much, because in my eyes you are not only a friend, a junior, but also a goal I yearn for, but there are many other things in my life besides these." Taking a few steps back, Yi Chengyi finally breathed out He said what he had been thinking for a long time.

It was like this when he was in the UK. Anderson acted like he didn’t want his pets to be seen or touched by others. He didn’t like Yi Chengyi to participate in activities where he could communicate with others. He didn’t like Yi Chengyi and He doesn't like Yi Chengyi rejecting him even if others approach him even a little bit, but apart from these, his gentleness has almost no bottom line.

Many times, Yi Chengyi wondered if there was something wrong between himself and Anderson, but he never asked.

He is too good, and these small flaws hidden in the dark are not enough for people to deny him.

Yi Chengyi really wanted to force himself to continue getting along with Anderson like this, but the sense of imminent danger frightened him.

He thought that during the six months that Anderson stayed in England, he could adjust his mentality, but it was useless at all. The feeling of depression that seemed to be completely controlled made him almost out of breath.

That premonition vaguely pointed to the collapse.
