In the closed carriage, it was difficult for the two people with long hands and long feet to spread out, and the hug became more and more tight because of the cramps.

Su Hui was wrapped in Ning Yixiao's coat, with his hands resting on Ning Yixiao's shoulders, biting his lips, his wet eyes showed a kind of innocence that didn't know much about the world, it was a look that the 26-year-old rarely released.

After bumping into the roof of the car again and again, Ning Yixiao put his hands on top of his head, trying to protect him.Su Hui was exhausted and almost fell backwards, but was caught in his arms again and kissed him.Under the influence of alcohol, he could not release it smoothly, but his senses were completely manipulated, and his contradictions were almost on the verge of collapse.

The rain outside the window gradually stopped, and Su Hui, like a string stretched to the extreme, broke suddenly at the end of the intense suite, and fell into a complete coma.

When he woke up again, he was already in Ning Yixiao's room, the sky was already bright, and the sun shone through the gauze curtain, filling the room.Su Hui had a terrible headache and was drowsy. He rubbed his eyes and saw Ning Yixiao's sleeping face when he turned his head.

He raised his hand subconsciously, and touched Ning Yixiao's tear mole with his fingertips. The skin felt warm and familiar.

Ning Yixiao suddenly opened his eyes, held Su Hui's hand, and kissed the back of his hand.

"Are you awake?" Ning Yixiao's voice was always hoarse than usual when he woke up in the morning, but his tone was very gentle, "Are you tired?"

Su Hui was about to speak, but Ning Yixiao's clean face suddenly changed in his mind.

Very confusing.

[Su Hui, it's all on my face. ]

[Lick it clean. ]

Almost instantly, many memory fragments flooded into my mind, good, bad, unbearable, all mixed together, all from last night.

"Why are you staring at me again?"

"You haven't recovered yet?" Ning Yixiao smiled, moved closer, pulled Su Hui's waist into his arms, lowered his head and rubbed against his ear, "Student Su, how old are you now?" age?"

Hearing this familiar question, the pores of Su Hui almost trembled for a moment.

[Su Hui, did you have this kind of dream when you were 20 years old? ]

He subconsciously wanted to hide, but Ning Yixiao held him tightly, unable to push him away.

"Speak." Ning Yixiao rubbed the tip of his nose against his ear.

At this moment, Su Hui desperately needs a superpower that disappears in an instant.

Seeing him like this, Ning Yixiao felt clear in her heart, "It seems that he is awake."

"Drink too much." Su Hui buried her face in his shoulder and complained in a muffled voice, "I won't drink anymore."

"Well, it's inconvenient to drink too much." Ning Yixiao groped his back, "Do you know how long it took last night..."

Su Hui immediately raised her head, covered Ning Yixiao's mouth with her hand, her eyes were full of pleading.

Ning Yixiao nodded, indicating that he would not say anything, so he let go.

"But you look cute when you're drunk."

Whatever you say is what you say, which makes people want to bully very much.

"Stop." Su Hui didn't want him to continue to look back, and planned to get up to wash up by herself, but just as she stood up, she felt a little soreness in her limbs and bones, and she couldn't move.

Ning Yixiao was leaning on the pillow, with a look of rest, and raised a hand, "Free wake-up assistance service, only available for kittens."

Su Hui had nothing to do with him.Although Ning Yixiao is expressionless now, he is very proud.

"Then help me..."

"Okay." Ning Yixiao got up immediately, leaned over and picked up Su Hui, and led him to the bathroom.

After washing, they kissed for a long time in the bathroom. While kissing, Ning Yixiao rubbed Su Hui's waist. The feeling of suffocation brought him paralyzed pleasure, but Ning Yixiao backed away in good time.

"You need to hydrate and your lips are chapped again."

"Maybe you bit me." Su Hui retorted softly, "You always like to bite me when you kiss."

Ning Yixiao didn't feel guilty about it at all, instead he boasted, "Because it's comfortable."

After going downstairs, Su Hui walked slowly to the dining table, took the water glass he handed over, and stared at Ning Yixiao's face to drink water.

Ning Yixiao really changed a lot.

Six years ago, he needed to always use a close appearance to disguise the indifference of the core, so he was very contradictory, tense and at the same time he didn't care about anything, he didn't care, but he was tired of life.When they met again later, Ning Yixiao's indifference was very intuitive and awkward, but as they got along, he seemed to gradually reveal more emotions and desires as a human being, sometimes like a child, like childish prank.

Stepping into his different stages means that Su Hui faces different trials in life.

He can grasp Ning Yixiao's sinking soul at the first glance of the eyes, and he can also see his loss of control and fall through him like looking in a mirror.Every hug and kiss is both reaching into each other's most vulnerable parts and healing.

Neither of them are who they used to be, but those shaky moments are stabilized by each other's presence.

Change may be the meaning of love.

"Staring at me again." Ning Yixiao noticed it and smiled.

Su Hui put down the drinking glass, walked over and hugged him for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yixiao stroked his hair gently.

"Nothing, I like you."

Su Hui only hoped that he would never need to use indifference to cover up his uneasiness and loneliness.

Hope he is happy.

Just signing the mother's will was not enough to inherit the entire inheritance. Su Hui returned to China, and under the guidance of Lawyer Chen, went to the bank and trust office to complete many procedures.Even if those real estate properties are not counted, the sky-high trust fund left by his mother alone is enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life, but these properties transferred to his name also indirectly killed his mother, so it didn't make Su Hui happy. .

The only good news is that he can finally pay off all the debts at once.Su Hui sorted out the bills, calculated all the sums of money she had borrowed because of her grandmother's illness, and paid them back.

Of course, Ning Yixiao's was also included.

"I know you don't want to accept it." Su Hui's tone was sincere, "But I agreed before that it's a loan, and you can't fool me just because I'm your boyfriend."

Ning Yixiao didn't directly refuse, but asked instead, "But my boyfriend paid off the debt for me six years ago, how does that count?"

Su Hui was a little surprised, "How do you know?"

Ning Yixiao raised his eyebrows, "I lay in the hospital for more than half a year, and I'm not dead. It's too easy for those people to come to trouble me, but they didn't come, obviously they were settled. In this world, Besides you, who else would be so merciful and help me, a poor boy, pay back 20 in one breath."

"Then you still think I don't like you?" Su Hui pursed her lips, smiled like a child, leaned over and sat on his lap, put her hands on his shoulders, and kissed the corners of Ning Yixiao's eyes.

"You are not a poor boy, you are a big president."

Ning Yixiao raised his face halfway, expressionless, "I agree with the first word."

"Ning Yixiao, you are really not serious."

"This is also approved."

With only two days left until the exhibition, Su Hui was almost overwhelmed with anxiety.

He's caught in a weird situation where he's hyper-inspired, productive, and tireless because of his hypomania, but at the same time he's terribly worried that his work won't be liked, that everything he's doing is rubbish and won't get enough out of it. Display it majestically.

What I am even more afraid of is that I will suddenly enter the depression period at the last critical moment and screw everything up.

This kind of thought came up several times as early as when dealing with Guan Cheng's affairs, and it also happened during the few days when he returned to China. Su Hui obviously felt that his state was unstable, and he was afraid that if he turned around, he would be thrown into the abyss of depression. .

This time the manic period was extraordinarily long.

Su Hui really wanted to continue to prolong it, and even when the alarm clock for taking medicine rang, he would have the idea of ​​throwing away the pills in his palm. He really didn't want to leave the hypomanic state.

But thinking of Ning Yixiao's entrustment, Su Hui still didn't do so, and obediently took the medicine.

Because of the temporary return to China before, Kaisha did a lot of work by herself. After returning, they met several times to discuss the progress of the work. Kaisha was very efficient and basically got everything done.

"The last time you participated in the event, there was too much discussion on the Internet. Several investors who rejected me before came back to me and said that they hoped to have a long-term cooperation. They are very willing to support our tour exhibition."

Su Hui was pleasantly surprised and helpless, "Why do I feel like I'm relying on my face to support my job?"

Keisha smiled, "It's the first time I've encountered this kind of situation, maybe you can further develop your part-time business."

After a few words of ridicule, the topic fell back to the business.Keisha acted vigorously and rigorously, constantly emphasizing the importance of the first day of the exhibition in her words.

"There will be a lot of media visits that day. I arranged a small group interview and got some questions in advance. You can prepare first to avoid silence when you get it."

She handed the document to Su Hui, "This is the emergency manual. You can also read it first. It contains the possible situations I listed. We can solve them together, but it's best not to use them."

"Tomorrow we will check all the settings in the venue and rehearse it in advance, so there must be no mistakes."

Su Hui's pressure was almost off the charts, but she looked calm on the surface. She nodded, "Okay."

In the afternoon he sent a message to Sean who hadn't chatted for a long time.

[Eddy: Long time no see!I am going to open my first solo exhibition recently, and I really want to invite you to come and see it. This exhibition lasts for a long time, so you can come and see it when you are free.I want to give you an invitation letter for admission. I wonder if you can receive the courier? ]

Ten minutes later, he received a reply.

[Sean: Really?congratulations.Of course I will not miss your personal exhibition, and it is a great honor to receive your invitation. ]

He gave an address, and to Su Hui's surprise, this address also happened to be in New York.

[Eddy: Are you in New York recently?Did you move here or do you have a job here? ]

[Sean: I just happened to be working in New York recently. This is the address of my friend’s house. If you send it to him, he will pass it on to me. ]

[Eddy: OK!I look forward to seeing you, if you can, you can leave me a message, I have specially set up a suggestion box next to the last exhibit!That way I know you're here when I see your message. ]

[Sean: I will definitely go. ]

Su Hui was very happy. Because of the work "Net" with this special collector, Su Hui hand-painted a butterfly on the cover of his invitation letter and wrote "ForSean". letter is the same.

The only invitation letter that was really handmade was for Ning Yixiao, who spent a long time cutting and origami paper and finished it yesterday.

Taking advantage of Ning's overnight sleep, he got up in the middle of the night and put the card by his pillow.

Early the next morning, Su Hui, who was pretending to sleep, saw Ning Yixiao sitting up, holding his handmade invitation letter in his hand.

Different from other simple card invitations, the one he made for Ning Yixiao was three-dimensional. When you open it along the folded lines, you can see a small cardboard box popping out of it. Inside the cardboard box are a white kitten and A little Doberman Pinscher very similar to Ice Cream.

S&N is written on the top of the carton.

He half-closed his eyes, for fear of being discovered, but seeing that Ning Yixiao seemed to like this little card, he closed and opened it, repeated this many times, and moved closer to his eyes, carefully staring at the kittens and puppies on it.

"How did you do it..."

Ning Yixiao stared at it for a while, put the card on the bedside table, and turned to look at Su Hui.

Su Hui immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, only to feel a kiss on her exposed arm and a kiss on her neck, which felt cool to the touch.

Then Ning Yixiao got up and left a sentence lightly.

"If you pretend to sleep again, you will be tied to the bed."

Su Hui immediately woke up.

That's not okay, it's the last day before the exhibition, and Kesha will come after her home.

But Ning Yixiao was only joking, after he obediently got up, he just came over and knocked his forehead.

"I have a lot of work today and I am very busy. I may not be able to reply to the message immediately."

"It's okay, you are the big president. Concentrate on your work and don't think about me."

After Su Hui went out, he received a call from Ryan, saying that Mike, who had conflicted with him before, came to the Department of Fine Arts to make trouble again.

"Come back later, or don't come at all, we will help you send the final assembly part."

"It's okay, I'm already on my way."

Su Hui was afraid that only a few of them would cause a bigger conflict, so he rushed over immediately.

On the way he received a call from the academy.

"Hello, we are the administrative office of the college. Yesterday we received a real-name report. The other party said that your teaching assistant qualifications did not meet the college's standards. They believed that Professor White gave you special treatment and asked the college to investigate."

"What do you mean?" Su Hui got out of the car and entered the Pure Art Building, "My teaching assistant qualification has been reviewed by the college, and there is no special treatment."

"We will investigate these and just inform you today. In addition, we found that your work visa has expired, and the whistleblower provided us with your mental illness history..."

Su Hui suddenly became emotional, and couldn't help interrupting, "My history of mental illness? I think everyone in the school knows this. From teachers to students, I have never hidden from anyone that I am bipolar. patient facts."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, "Please calm down, we just need you to cooperate with the investigation and let you know, I hope you understand."

"I will cooperate, but the employment contract of the college does not state that mentally ill patients are not to be hired. If there were, I would not have been hired in the first place."

Su Hui hung up the phone and calmed down in the elevator for a while. He found that his manic symptoms became obvious and he couldn't control his emotions.

He took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

When he got out of the elevator, he heard the sound of arguing at the other end of the corridor. He walked over and saw that, as he expected, Ryan and the others fought with Mike and his gang.

Su Hui was almost overwhelmed by anxiety, so he suppressed his emotions and walked forward, pulled them away, and stood in front of the students.

He stared at Mike's face, "Come here early in the morning, are you okay?"

Mike sneered, and his mouth was still the same old routine of racial discrimination, which was annoying to hear.

"Don't think you can do whatever you want with the backing of that old White thing behind you! Damn chink."

When the students behind them heard such insulting words, they immediately started to fight again, but Su Hui stopped them.

He looked back at the wounds on the faces of the students, took out his mobile phone after confirmation, and called the police without hesitation, "Hi, there are people on my side who are picking quarrels and provoking trouble, right..."

Mike was about to reach out to snatch his phone, but Su Hui blocked it with his other hand, "That's right, he's still attacking me, ready to commit violence."

Hearing the police on the opposite side ask how the other party was doing, Su Hui looked at Mike, "It doesn't look normal, he may have taken drugs."

When Mike heard this, his face immediately changed, and he looked back at the troublemakers behind him. They met their eyes, and withdrew after saying a cruel word.

"You wait."

Seeing them leaving, Su Hui reported the location of the Photography Academy to the phone and hung up.

"Are you all right?"

Several students shook their heads, but they were not convinced by the matter of Fang Cai.

"He doesn't want you to hold a solo exhibition right away, and try to come over and make trouble."

"That's right. A few days ago, I found out that the door lock of the studio had been smashed. Fortunately, the exhibits were fine and moved out."

"He's relying on the backer behind him to run amok!"

Reminiscent of the investigation call I received not long ago, and the last time Mike went to the office of the Department of Fine Arts to mess around, everything can be traced.Except for this guy who has been in trouble before, there is no second person who can't hold back and ran to report before the exhibition.

Su Hui raised his head and saw the insulting remarks on the paper pasted on the door of the studio. He tore it off, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can beside him. He lowered his head and opened the door of the studio.

After entering, he went straight to several large boxes, which were packed last night.Su Hui counted the installation parts inside, called Keisha, and called the professional service personnel who transported the exhibits.

Seeing that the last part was also transported away, Su Hui felt relieved and closed the door of the studio.

He planned to go to the office of the college leaders first to see how they were going to investigate, at least not to delay his business at a critical moment, let alone drag Professor White into it.

Su Hui came out and said to the students waiting outside, "I'm going to the gymnasium, you go to class first, see you in the gymnasium this afternoon."

Ryan looked at him a few more times, and couldn't help but care, "Are you okay? Don't be influenced by him."

"It's okay, he doesn't deserve it." Su Hui said with a rare irritability in his voice. He reached into his pocket, found a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, walked to the balcony at the end of the corridor, and exhaled gray-white smoke.

An anxious longing crawled up, like a rodent, constantly gnawing at his heart, and clearly told him to concentrate on his work.

But he suddenly longed for Ning Yixiao to be by his side.

It's okay to do nothing, or go to bed.

Anyway, hold on tight.
