give me a hug

Plum Sauce Wine: [Huh? 】

Plum Sauce Wine: [Can I ask why QAQ]

Xie Jiaran didn't want to say more, but simply replied:

Jia thinks it is: [This is inappropriate, I didn't bring it up in the first place, I was ill-considered. 】

Jia thinks it is: [I'm sorry to delay you for so long, as compensation I will give you a free avatar. . 】

Plum Sauce Wine: [Ah, so, it’s okay, it’s okay, madam! 】

Plum Sauce Wine: [The deposit is non-refundable!I'm so happy to have my wife!How about this, my wife still draws my boyfriend, but I don’t need a mixed version!Beautify him as much as possible! 】

Xie Jiaran said sorry again after answering, and by the way, flipped through the record to save the picture of her boyfriend that the girl had posted before.

When he went back and passed Liang Suinian's classroom, the class was over, he glanced inside but saw no one, so he stood on the small balcony next to the door and lowered his head to send a message.

"How do you know I'm teaching here?"

Liang Suinian came out quickly, holding a roster in his hand and didn't have time to put it down.

Xie Jiaran handed over the milk tea: "I'm in class next door, and I saw you when I passed by."

"For me?" Liang Suinian couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Xie Jiaran nodded.

In fact, he couldn't say why he bought this cup of milk tea on purpose. Seeing Liang Suinian staring at him, he was afraid that he would ask some questions that he couldn't answer, so he had to change the subject first: "This?"

Pointing to the roster, he asked, "Does your class have group activities?"

"That's right." Liang Suinian said, "There will be an exam next week, so the class activities will be brought forward temporarily to this weekend. I just decided to go to Huashan to soak in the hot spring."

Xie Jiaran: "This weekend? But today is Friday, is there time to book a hotel?"

Liang Suinian waved his hand: "It's okay, my family has a small hotel over there, and I have already said hello and reserved a room."

"..."

Huashan is one of the best resort towns in China, how can a hotel built there be a small hotel?

Xie Jiaran was silent for half a second before asking again: "Are you going to leave today?"

"Yeah, after class, I have to go back to the dormitory to pack my things."

Liang Suinian paused for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Are you busy this weekend? If not, would you like to go with us, it's very fun over there, you can share a room with me."

"No need." Xie Jiaran refused: "I have a group project to do this weekend, you have fun."

What's more, it's their class activities, what would he do with him as an outsider.

"Okay." Liang Suinian didn't force it: "The market over there is very special. I'll take photos and post them to the dormitory group when I go there. If I see anything, send me a message and bring it back for you."

He turned back to the classroom, took two steps and remembered something, turned his head and waved his hand at him, and said with a smile: "By the way, thank you for the milk tea, I will treat you next time."

Xie Jiaran meekly withdrew his gaze from his face, lowered his eyes, and unconsciously scratched the back of his hand.

"you are welcome."

Li Tang followed Shen Xuehao to participate in club activities, and he won't be back until ten o'clock at the latest. Liang Suinian has already left for Huashan, and Xie Jiaran has become a left-behind child in 305 as usual.

After school, I had dinner with Lin Shan and didn't rush back to the dormitory, but went to the studio alone and continued to draw the unfinished sketch of the basketball court.

After carefully refining the line draft and laying the background color, he concentrated on thinking about the intersection of light and shadow, but ignored the discomfort in his body that gradually increased over time.

——Until the palm trembled unbearably, and the paintbrush fell to the ground with a snap.

Tsk, here we go again.

He exhaled irritably, closed his eyes and endured this for a while, picked up the brush and continued to draw.

It's just that he didn't know if it was because too many people in the painting attracted his attention, the more he painted, the more uncomfortable he became.

The therapeutic approach of immersive painting ultimately declared failure.

Changed the manuscript of [Plum Sauce Wine] to divert attention, the progress was much smoother and faster, but unfortunately the physical discomfort did not get much relief.

He took a photo of the sketch and sent it to [Plum Sauce Wine], turned off the phone and rubbed his arm vigorously, packed up his things and hurried back to the dormitory.

News buzzed and vibrated along the way, [Plum Sauce Wine] boasted nearly [-] pieces of news to a draft.

Xie Jiaran washed his face with cold water, opened Weibo, confirmed with the other party that there was nothing to change, then turned off the phone and threw it on the table, went to bed and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket.

This sleep until almost eight o'clock.

It was almost dark outside, and the lights in the dormitory were not turned on. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, struggling to isolate himself from the grotesque and messy dreams.

Symptoms still haven't improved.

There was a burning pain on the back of his arm and hand. He got out of bed and turned on the light, only to see that it was covered with red marks scratched by his nails in his sleep.

I closed my eyes and turned around to take my pajamas from the cabinet to take a cold shower. I went into the bathroom and turned on the faucet, only to find a more unfortunate thing—the water was cut off.

"..."

Xie Jiaran stood on the balcony holding her clothes in a daze, doubting her life.

The phone, which had been neglected for a long time, started buzzing and vibrating again.

Liang Suinian has already arrived at that very characteristic market, and is throwing pictures in the dormitory group to refresh the screen.

Su past years: 【Come on, babies, let me know if you like it, I will bring it to you when you come back, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop. 】

Li Tang and Shen Xuehao, who threatened to be busy with club activities, returned faster than anyone else.

Three times, five divisions and two circles produced more than a dozen things, and the wool was not soft at all. In the end, they did not forget to make up a [Thank you boss] emoticon package to show their deep gratitude.

Liang Suinian said that he received it, and waited for a while before Xie Jiaran spoke, thinking that he was a Do Not Disturb group message and didn't see it, so he specially hit him: [@X.Teacher Xie, do you like it ╰(*°▽°*)╯】

Is Xie Jiaran interested?

Of course there are.

On the screen is an enlarged photo of the safety buckle, and the exquisite knot of the jade brand is exquisite.

However, in Xie Jiaran's eyes, no matter how ingenious the object is, he can only see the hand holding the safety button with its palm open.

He squeezed his wrist hard, thinking that if I say that I have taken a fancy to the owner of this hand, can I bring him to me immediately?

Liang Suinian didn't wait for Xie Jiaran to reply in the group, but waited for a private chat message.

X. : [Liang Suinian, can I borrow one of your clothes to wear? 】

Su Niannian: [Okay, but what's wrong? 】

X. :【I'm not feeling well. 】

Seeing the reply, Liang Suinian was stunned for half a second, and understood his meaning almost instantly.

Looking up at the time, it was already 08:30.

Based on what he knew about Xie Jiaran, if he wasn't too uncomfortable to bear, he would never have sent him a message when he was out to play.

Frowning and about to type, Xiao Chi beside him suddenly exclaimed: "I'm going, the school's water is cut off!"

"What?" he asked over his shoulder.

"The water is cut off." Xiao Chi showed him his phone: "The announcement was made half an hour ago that the whole school will have no water from [-]:[-] tonight to [-]:[-] tomorrow morning. Fortunately, we went out to play, otherwise wouldn't we not even have a bath tonight? Gotta wash."

"Tsk!"

Liang Sunian rubbed his temples, bowed his head and quickly typed a reply:

Su past years: [Xie Jiaran, my wardrobe door is unlocked, you can wear whatever you want, or you can just sleep on my bed, it's up to you. 】

Then put away the phone and said to Xiao Chi: "I have something to go back to school immediately, please tell the class monitor for me, if you need anything, just report my name to the hotel, and go first."

Xiao Chi: "???"

It was only after Xie Jiaran changed into Liang Suinian's clothes that she realized how innocent she was.

This method is too futile.

Not only did it not relieve his discomfort as expected, but it seemed to wake up something, which suddenly aggravated his symptoms.

The tormenting itch moved around and spread in his body, as if a villain had achieved his ambition, he was so arrogant that he almost got out of his skin.

but take it off...

Well, he's quite successfully cornered himself in a dead end.

He didn't dare to think about Liang Su Nian's bed anymore. Now his feet were so weak that he might not even be able to climb up his own bed, so he could only lay down on the table and gasp.

With his back facing the empty dormitory, Xie Jiaran buried his face deep in his arms, feeling completely insecure.

I don't know if I'm asleep or not, but when I was half asleep and half awake, I heard the sound of the door opening, and tried hard to open my eyes.

The double image swayed, someone dug him out from the crook of his arm, touched his face and forehead, and asked him with uneven breath: "Xie Jiaran, how are you?"

very familiar voice.

The taste is familiar too, as is the touch.

Xie Jiaran closed her eyes, the blur in her vision gradually dissipated, and the other party's anxious expression finally came into view clearly.

"... Liang Suinian?" He called him hoarsely.

"It's me, what's wrong with you—"

He didn't say a word, but the other party grabbed his neck forcefully and threw him into his arms.

Like a lost ship finally finding a lighthouse, fearing that the light source it longed for would be lost in the next second, Xie Jiaran hugged Liang Sunian tightly with almost all her strength.

His head was arched into the socket of his neck and kept rubbing, the mixed emotions of grievance and dependence drowned him.

This is a feeling that I have never experienced before, the feeling of being strongly needed by a person.

Liang Suinian was stunned.

In the next second, without hesitation, he raised his arms around the boy's thin waist and pressed hard against himself, using even more strength to hug him back, so as to give him the greatest sense of security.

"Hey, it's okay, don't be afraid."

"I am back."
