give me a hug

"Damn it! Aren't physical tests usually placed at the end of the term? Why is it so much earlier this year?!!!"

Lin Shan began to complain angrily after receiving the group message: "I'm not ready to run 1000 meters yet, my ligaments can't be stretched, and I can't hang pull-ups. What the hell, it's a crime!!!"

"There is still one day before the physical test tomorrow." Xie Jiaran comforted him: "You can prepare well tonight."

Lin Shan cried sadly: "But it's almost seven o'clock now, what am I going to do, run [-] meters at night, or sleep with a fork at night?"

Xie Jiaran: "With a week's notice in advance, will you run [-] meters at night and sleep with a fork?"

Lin Shan: "... woo woo woo Jia Ran don't expose me QAQ"

Xie Jiaran had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't worry, the physical test is invigilated by our class sports committee."

"...And I don't want to test my lung capacity. Last time, my lung capacity was so small that even the physical education teacher laughed at me—eh?" Lin Shan realized after a while: "Is it monitoring by the Sports Commission?"

"Yeah." Xie Jiaran nodded: "It's been mentioned in the group news, please read carefully."

Lin Shan read it again, and the mood was cloudy and clear: "Oh really, that feelings are good, I don't have to prepare anything, the Sports Commission will definitely have no bottom line to cover our hahahahahahahahahahahaha."

Xie Jiaran: "Then you have to at least put on a show, don't make things too difficult for the sports committee."

"Hey, you know, I'm not an ignorant three-year-old."

After one problem was solved, Lin Shan remembered the unfinished topic just now: "By the way, Jia Ran, what did you want to ask me just now?"

Xie Jiaran paused for a moment.

Under Lin Shan's questioning gaze, he put his hands on his knees, turned his head to look at him, and said softly, "I want to ask you, what should you do if you want to chase someone?"

Lin Shan repeated: "Chasing someone?"

Xie Jiaran: "Yes."

Lin Shan asked again: "Who is chasing whom?"

"...Me." Xie Jiaran paused, and added completely and solemnly: "Lin Shan, I want to catch up with Liang Suinian."

"?"

"???!"

"What???!!"

Lin Shan lost control of the volume and made a commotion, all the students in the studio turned their heads and cast curious glances at him.

Fortunately, the teacher is not here.

"It's okay, it's okay, my paint is poured on my pants hahahaha...Everyone keep busy, keep busy and leave me alone, I will automatically cancel the noise immediately hahaha..."

After dealing with his classmates, Lin Shan quickly shrank his neck and hid behind the drawing board, opened his eyes wide and pressed his voice and asked Xie Jiaran: "Isn't it my friend, so you really weren't together before?"

Xie Jiaran shook his head: "Really not." He had been seriously denying it all along, but Lin Shan just didn't believe it.

Lin Shan's face was complicated, and he hissed: "So, just 'really' worship a good brother?"

Xie Jiaran: "Yes."

"Ah, this..." Lin Shan was so tangled up that her face almost wrinkled into a bun, she rarely stammered: "You... Is it because I have been away from the world of straight men for too long? Nowadays, good brothers in the campus society are generally so 'full of love' Get along?"

Xie Jiaran has no good brothers, and he doesn't know how other good brothers get along with each other. He can't even compare and respond, so he can only keep silent.

Lin Shan digested it, and sighed with emotion: "Okay, to be honest, based on my experience as a person who has been here, it doesn't matter if you chase or not."

Xie Jiaran was puzzled: "Why?"

Lin Shan spread her hands: "Because you are no different from being together, didn't you realize that?"

After a pause, he added: "Oh, I almost forgot, you haven't been in a relationship, it's normal if you don't know."

Xie Jiaran was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I have to chase."

He has to have a title, otherwise, what if Liang Su Nian is stupid again and someone puts a small rubber band on his hair?

"But my method may not be suitable for you." Lin Shan said regretfully, "You know, I'm too flirty, and you can't be flirtatious."

Xie Jiaran: "..."

Lin Shan really cared about his friend's lifelong event.

I pinched my chin and thought about it for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to my mind: "By the way, at this time, we should find a solution according to the situation. The public's way of chasing people is not good, and the right way is to prescribe the right medicine!"

Xie Jiaran repeated: "The right medicine?"

"That's right!"

Lin Shan was full of confidence and analyzed with him: "Did I just say that there is no difference between the two of you now that you are together?"

Xie Jiaran: "Huh?"

Lin Shan: "Let's plan according to plan. From now on, you will treat him as your boyfriend. You can do whatever you want, just remember not to say "I like you". Believe me, sooner or later, this sentence will come from his mouth." Speak up first!"

Xie Jiaran was dubious: "Is this really possible?"

"of course."

Lin Shan looked him up and down, bent his eyes and smiled meaningfully: "I believe in your talent, follow your instinct, just follow the current progress, just do what you want."

"Young man, do you know what 'pure desire' is?"

After class at nine o'clock in the evening, Xie Jiaran left the art building and walked towards the dormitory along the street lights. When passing by the supermarket, he happened to meet Liang Suinian who had just finished class and was standing there buying ice cream.

He didn't call him, but the latter spotted him immediately from the reflection in the cake window, turned around and smiled at him, raised his hand and made a gesture of "wait for me", quickly picked out two ice creams and paid for them , turned around and strode to Xie Jiaran's side.

"Just finished class?"

Xie Jiaran nodded: "Yes."

"Me too. It's a hypnosis elective that has a miraculous effect. I'm dizzy after hearing it, and I can't escape."

He passed his hand: "Come on, please have an ice cream, to celebrate the passing of another day of our suffering."

It was the same brand of cream cone from last time. Liang Suinian handed him the bag with the strawberry pattern printed on it, and kept an extra flavor for himself: "The original flavor is sold out, and the strawberry one is the last one left, let's just order it." .”

After speaking, he tore open and threw away the packaging bag, planning to eat while walking.

Seeing him take a bite, Xie Jiaran's expression became a little strange, and she couldn't help asking him, "Isn't it delicious?"

"It's not bad either."

He had never tasted this taste before, it was a bit complicated, and a bit strange, and he couldn't tell what was strange about it.

He was thinking about what adjectives to use to describe it, when the wrist of the hand holding the ice cream was suddenly gently grasped.

Xie Jiaran seemed to be too lazy to wait, so he pulled his hand closer and opened his mouth to taste it himself.

Two obvious bite marks overlapped, one big and one small, they ate the same ice cream.

After tasting the taste carefully, he gave a pertinent evaluation: "It's a little sour, but it's still delicious."

He licked off all the white cream that accidentally stuck to his lips, and sipped it coldly, his lips inevitably turned a little bit of watery red.

Liang Suinian stopped under the streetlight, looked at the ice cream, then at him, with a momentary look of astonishment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xie Jiaran gradually frowned, and Wen Tun let go of him: "Are you despising me?"

"No! How dare, where do I have the qualifications?"

Liang Suinian suddenly grinned: "I just think I should ask this question, student Xiao Xie, don't you despise me?"

Xie Jiaran lowered her eyes, her voice was muffled: "When did I despise you?"

Seeing that people seemed unhappy, Liang Suinian immediately started coaxing: "It makes sense, our Teacher Xie doesn't dislike it, it's Xiao Liang who is lucky enough to smoke from his ancestors in my third life, tsk, why do you think I don't know what's good? It's my fault, don't be angry."

Xie Jiaran was coaxed into losing his temper by him: "...I'm not angry."

Liang Suinian was as good as he was: "Oh yes, then leave me alone, I'm talking nonsense."

Xie Jiaran: "..."

He wanted to say something else, but the ice cream covered with two bite marks was brought to his mouth again, Liang Suinian tilted his head and looked at him with a smile: "If you think it's delicious, do you want to have another bite?"

Xie Jiaran puffed her cheeks sullenly.

Then he took his hand, opened his mouth as if to vent his anger, and took a big bite.

Back in the dormitory, when the door was pushed open, Litang's deafening hunk screamed.

Liang Suinian squinted his eyes and let out a hiss, then covered the ears of Xie Jiaran who was walking in front of him, and rushed to Li Tang: "Okay, brother, what about the soul? Your eardrums are almost torn by your roar."

Holding his mobile phone, Li Tang jumped up excitedly in front of the two, and showed them the chat interface: "A little girl added me! She said that she has heard my name for a long time, admires me very much, and wants to be with me! Friend! Friend! Talk! Talk! Heart!"

Shen Xuehao has been poisoned for the whole afternoon, and now he is exhausted physically and mentally. Li Tang has changed his target to other people, and he is finally relieved, he can go to bed and watch dramas and videos.

"I've heard of your name for a long time?"

Liang Suinian took the phone, and under Li Tang's encouraging eyes, flipped through the chat history: "Come on, let me tell you about your name first?"

"I'm good at the game!" Li Tang patted his chest, feeling confident: "Last season, hundreds of stars ended the battle easily, the shooter split 32 lanes, and the assistant jungler was also good, so I asked who else?"

Liang Suinian was puzzled: "Girls really admire you because of your good game play?"

Li Tang: "Of course, the charm of e-sports is invincible!"

It's not completely unreasonable, but for some reason, Liang Suinian just felt that the chat history became more and more strange: "It's a bit weird, are you sure she wants to talk to you?"

Li Xiaootaku bit his lower lip shyly and smiled shyly: "If it's a relationship, I can accept it."

Liang Suinian: "...Brother, I think you should calm down first."

Xie Jiaran didn't listen much, and quickly returned to her seat, put down her things and prepared to take a shower.

However, after taking his pajamas, he stood there for a while, thinking of something, and quickly put all the clothes on the most conspicuous place on the table, turned around and went into the bathroom empty-handed.

Maternal solo classmate Xiao Li is a love bug, Liang Suinian can't talk about him, and after thinking about it, he can't ruin his marriage. In case his feeling is an illusion, the girl really worships him as Li Tang said and wants to make friends with him .

Liang Suinian then said: "Okay, then you should have a good chat first, maybe you will meet true love."

Li Tang scratched the back of his head: "Hey, I think so too, people adore me, so I'm sure I can't let them down, right?"

Liang Suinian nodded, returned the phone to him, and when he turned around, he saw a set of pajamas lying alone on the table.

Sigh helpless.

This kid, how could he forget to bring clothes after taking a bath?

He took it up to the balcony and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, so he leaned aside and waited patiently for a while until the sound of water stopped before knocking on the door: "Student Xie, are you still washing?"

The people inside replied to him: "Well, do you want to use the bathroom now?"

Liang Suinian admired the kid's stupidity, and teased him with the words: "If I want to use it now, can you let me?"

Xie Jiaran was silent for two seconds, and really agreed: "Yes, you can come in with your eyes closed."

Liang Suinian was directly amused at this moment: "Aren't you stupid, did you see if you brought your clothes in? What's the matter, are you going to come out naked later?"

He knocked on the door twice again: "Leave a gap, Xiao Liang brought it for you."

There was a sound of unlocking the lock soon, and the person inside obediently opened a crack for him, but it was not a small crack.

Xie Jiaran poked his head to look at him from behind the door, his wet hair was sticking to his forehead neatly, half of his thin shoulders were also exposed.

He stretched out a hand to pick up the clothes.

Liang Suinian glanced over unintentionally, and immediately stopped.

I have to admit that the boy's body is really beautiful.

Different from what he saw in the dimly lit dressing room that day, now it is half covered, and his cold white skin has been steamed pink.

Drops of water stay in the depression of the collarbone, and the arms are slender and well-proportioned, and the drops of water are also condensed, the bones are smooth, clear and beautiful.

When Xie Jiaran's fingertips were about to touch his clothes, he withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to avoid it.

He cleared his throat a little uncomfortably: "Let me come, your hands are full of water, don't get your clothes wet again."

The wall hook was near the door, Liang Suinian reached in to hang up the clothes, Xie Jiaran also went to pick it up, so when they stopped, the backs of their hands touched together.

A warm feeling seemed to gently hook the outside of his little finger.

The palm of the hand was scratched lightly, intentionally or unintentionally, and the itching spread and flooded.

Liang Suinian couldn't help but curled up his fingers and wanted to hold the troubled hand, but unfortunately it only took a second before the other party broke free and shrank back.

"Thank you."

Xie Jiaran said to him in a soft and calm tone, and there was also a wet and cold look in his eyes.

Like a proud young deer, it stretched its slender and beautiful limbs and turned around in a circle, then jumped towards him and hit his chest with the soft antlers that were not yet fully formed.

And stubbornly disappeared in place when he subconsciously wanted to arrest him.

Liang Sunian looked at the closed door in front of him, and was dazed for a while, unable to figure out where that inexplicable emotion came from and what it represented.

In the end, everything turned into helplessness and no need to care, and was left behind by him.

However, there is another sudden idea that is very clear.

Like Xie Jiaran, will he become a girl's boyfriend in the future, protect someone wholeheartedly, shelter her from wind and rain, and become a harbor that she can rely on completely?

He couldn't imagine it.

The thin and beautiful person I saw just now flashed through my mind, and my inherent impression was deepened again. I always felt that Xie Jiaran should be the one who should be properly protected and cherished.

He should have a harbor, not be someone else's harbor.

In the bathroom across the door.

Xie Jiaran looked down at her hands, and slowly twisted her wet fingertips.

Suddenly closing his eyes, he raised his hand to cover his burning ears.

Turn on the faucet and let the warm water drench him again from head to toe.

The pink color has not faded for a long time, but this time, I don't know if it is because of the steam in the bathroom, or because of something else.
