Low fever

After that conversation five months ago.

Mu Xinghai and Ruan Chen successfully became friends.

Lin Mu urged Mu Xinghai several times and asked Mu Xinghai to help introduce him.

Mu Xinghai pushed Ruan Chen's WeChat ID to Lin Mu, but thought in his heart that Ruan Chen might not talk to him.

In fact, he and Ruan Chen are making good progress.

Ruan Chen started to chat with him actively, he was very clumsy, his brain waves couldn't get together at all, but it could be seen that he was trying hard to find a topic.

If Lin Mu hadn't told him that Ruan Chen was a person who was difficult to get close to and never took the initiative, he would definitely find Ruan Chen boring and lie silently until he disappeared.

Now there is a subtle sense of superiority, every word and every word of Ruan Chen is so worth pondering, making Mu Xinghai doubt it even more...

... Doubting whether Ruan Chen likes him.

Not just class.

He also met Ruan Chen in the library.

Mu Xinghai went late, searched around, but couldn't find a vacant seat.

Ruan Chen sat in the corner by himself, looked at him carefully, and didn't dare to say hello to him, but he looked over first and laughed.

Just being illuminated by his bright smile, Ruan Chen shrank like a mimosa being touched, subconsciously lowered his head, probably immediately aware of the impoliteness, raised his head again, looked at him, and nodded to him .

Mu Xinghai walked up to him, lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, are you studying by yourself?"

Ruan Chen said "hmm".

Mu Xinghai could smell the shampoo and soap on him, both of which were the cheapest in the supermarket, because it was winter, Ruan Chen was wearing a shirt with a woolen vest over it, the style looked like it was 20 years ago, the edge of the shirt was slightly He was badly worn, and had a poor breath.

But Mu Xinghai thought, like the dressing style of old-school intellectuals, so unique.

Ruan Chen lowered his eyelashes, and his eyes flickered again, but he didn't dare to look him in the face, his ears turned red, and he said, "Can't you find a place?"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, cleaned up the books on the table, and said, "It just so happens that I've almost finished my self-study, so I'll give you my seat."

Mu Xinghai saw the half-written sentence in his notebook, knew that he was lying, and his heart skipped a beat. He bit his lower lip, but he couldn't pierce this man who was easily frightened at first glance.

Mu Xinghai said: "It's okay, I'll just go to the study room outside."

Ruan Chen said: "The fee-paying study room is so expensive, you sit in my seat."

Mu Xinghai felt that Ruan Chen was much more interesting than books.

As soon as Ruan Chen tidied up his things, he bowed his head and left immediately. Mu Xinghai didn't sit down in the place he vacated, but followed behind him without saying a word.

The tips of Ruan Chen's bloodshot and red ears almost stood up.

In the study room, which was so quiet that he could hear a needle drop, he could hear the footsteps of Mu Xinghai who lived closely behind him.

Da da da.

It's like stepping on his heartstrings, which makes people nervous.

After walking for a short distance, he realized that he couldn't get rid of Mu Xinghai. Looking back, his seat was already taken by other students.

What a pity, this is the position he specially vacated!Ruan Chen couldn't help being angry, as if he was glaring at Mu Xinghai, as if he was complaining about him.

But Mu Xinghai's eyes suddenly lit up as if seeing something extremely interesting, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of smiles, and he even smiled at him.

Ruan Chen realized that he had lost his composure, and remembered that Mu Xinghai once praised him for his good eyes, so he didn't dare to look at Mu Xinghai at all, for fear of being praised by him, he buried his head and walked out angrily.

He also hunches slightly when he walks.

It seems that I am infinitely shrinking in my own sense of existence. I am clearly in the crowd, but I seem to live in another small world, which has nothing to do with anyone.

Mu Xinghai thought.

Get out of the library.

Mu Xinghai said: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Ruan, I wasted the seat you gave up and made you angry."

Ruan Chen said sullenly, "I'm not angry."

Mu Xinghai asked again: "Where are you going now?"

Ruan Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He was originally a soft-tempered person. He was secretly depressed for a while and then calmed down. He said, "Go back to the dormitory."

Mu Xinghai asked: "Oh... I heard that doctoral students live in a single dormitory, brother, are you?"

Ruan Chen was stunned for a moment, and replied: "...Yes."

Mu Xinghai asked naturally: "I haven't been there yet, can you show me around?"

Ruan Chen lowered his head habitually, looking hesitant, Mu Xinghai waited for half a minute before he heard his reply in a voice like a mosquito: "Hmm."

Mu Xinghai's first thought after seeing Ruan Chen's dormitory was: Ruan Chen is indeed a literary youth.

His room is very simple, but very tidy, with slightly old log furniture, well-growthed green potted plants, cheap checkered cloth on the table, and solid-colored burlap curtains, which look mostly from second-hand goods I bought things in the market, but if the photos are sent out, many people will definitely like this retro-style arrangement.

The most eye-catching thing is the "book shelf" made of cardboard boxes, full of books with various titles that make Mu Xinghai feel unclear. There is also a whole box of DVDs. At a glance, they are all old movies.

Mu Xinghai thought, it turns out that Senior Brother Ruan is still a movie buff, so he can tell Lin Mu.

Mu Xinghai admired from the bottom of his heart: "Senior brother, your room is so beautifully organized."

Ruan Chen thanked him softly, and said, "I'll go and pour you tea."

The dormitory room is not big.

Mu Xinghai sat down on the wooden sofa, and he saw an astronomical telescope beside the bed, covered with a translucent dustproof cloth, and asked, "Brother, do you still like stargazing?"

Ruan Chen was boiling water, and the water was boiling and gurgling. He said embarrassedly: "Well, just take a look, it's not professional."

At this time, Mu Xinghai was very grateful for his whim, and proposed to visit Ruan Chen's dormitory.

If he didn't come, how would he know that Ruan Chen's silent appearance contained such rich content.For him, Ruan Chen is a mysterious isolated island, still shrouded in mist and mist, which makes people full of curiosity.

The water is ready.

Ruan Chen made a cup of white chrysanthemum, which overflowed with a faint fragrance.

Mu Xinghai was no longer on the sofa, he was sitting on the ground, looking at Ruan Chen's bookshelf.

Ruan Chen had the illusion that someone was peeping at his body. He felt uncomfortable and his face was hot. A rich young man like Mu Xinghai must think it is poor to use cardboard boxes as a temporary bookshelf.

Ruan Chen put the tea on the table and asked, "Don't you study by yourself?"

Mu Xinghai turned his head and praised: "Brother, you are so smart, it is very convenient to use cardboard boxes to build a bookshelf, and it is also easy to pack when you move out."

Ruan Chen was at a loss, but still said thank you stupidly.

Mu Xinghai just looked at it and didn't touch it randomly. After that, the two sat together at both ends of the small square table and studied by themselves.

Ruan Chen still couldn't feel at ease, he couldn't learn at all, he was very concerned about Mu Xinghai's every move.

Spent the afternoon in his pins and needles.

After finally staying up until 04:30, Ruan Chen said, "It's time for the cafeteria to open."

Mu Xinghai said: "Let's go together, I'll treat you to dinner, thank you brother for taking me in for an afternoon."

Ruan Chen shook his head, but still refused: "No, no treat."

Mu Xinghai looked at him, really confused.

He always has the feeling that Ruan Chen likes him. After all, Ruan Chen will blush at him, blushing again and again and shyly, but sometimes he reveals the aura of refusal to be thousands of miles away, so he can only rush forward brazenly Otherwise, Ruan Chen would quietly turn off the soft and silent self-protection.

Ruan Chen looked so weak and deceptive.

But it seems to be quietly gaining control.

If he doesn't want to take the initiative to approach, Mu Xinghai will be unable to move an inch.

Ruan Chen almost seemed to drive him away.

Mu Xinghai thought, maybe for an introverted person, his sense of distance today is not sure, okay, he scared Ruan Chen.

Mu Xinghai felt somewhat regretful.

But when he was about to leave, Ruan Chen stood by the door and said to him suddenly: "Would you like to reserve a seat for you tomorrow?"

Mu Xinghai didn't react immediately: "You mean the library?"

Ruan Chen nodded: "I go early, if you need, I can reserve a seat for you."

Mu Xinghai said: "Okay, thank you, brother."

Ruan Chen shook his head: "You're welcome."

Go back on the road.

Mu Xinghai strolled, his mind was full of thoughts about the poor and ordinary senior brother Ruan, who was at a loss.

——Ruan Chen just likes him, right?

Besides liking, is there any other way to explain Ruan Chen's actions?

no.

Mu Xinghai received a message from Lin Mu: "Ruan Chen still ignores me...do you know what he likes?"

Mu Xinghai thought of Ruan Chen's cabinet of literature and art books, old movie discs and stargazing binoculars.

Night has fallen.

He stood under a broken street lamp, there was no light, it was cold, his fingers were cold, he typed stiffly, and replied: "I don't know, I haven't met him recently except in class."

Lin Mu: "Isn't your girlfriend his junior sister? Can you please ask me?"

After 3 minutes.

Mu Xinghai Hui: "I broke up with Jiang Tingting"

——It was Jiang Tingting who cheated.

Mu Xinghai didn't say the second half.

He has a bit of machismo, he wants to get together and leave, and he doesn't want to be too ugly.Knowing that he was wearing a cuckold was nothing but ridicule.

And Jiang Tingting also begged him, he must have the capacity for this.

So hide it.

He planned to tell the outside world after a while that the relationship faded and they broke up peacefully.

But, after all, being dumped by a woman would make any man in the world feel frustrated.

So now he is very concerned about Ruan Chen's liking.

It's not that there are no other seniors and sisters who want to pursue him, but Ruan Chen is still different - Ruan Chen is a man, and he is also a very special literary and affectionate man.

It made him feel, look, there are still people who like him so strongly, his charm is so great that even men are secretly in love with him.

He's not gay, he doesn't intend to accept men's love, and he won't pierce Ruan Chen's mind, but he still wants Ruan Chen to continue to indulge himself.

Play for a while.

until he loses interest.
