Unwilling?Who can be reluctant?

Ye Jue's kind of heartless person who makes western hug stickers everywhere and spreads vigorous love with everyone is not like a jealous person.

Most likely Pei Yanqiu was anxious to go home and was tired.

Children are clingy.

Yan Ju slandered, but he didn't intend to force it, anyway, he was just being polite.

After answering the assistant's message, Yan Ju raised his head, and the undercurrent of the two people saying goodbye happened to hit his eyes.

Seeing Chu Ruxu's displeasure before he had time to hide it, Yan Jue understood immediately.

Oh--

It's because this kid is reluctant.

Reasonable.

Yan Ju chose to pretend not to know, and after watching Pei Yanqiu leave with him, he asked casually, "Where are you going now?"

Chu Ruxu, who had successfully chased away her friend, immediately smiled when she heard this question, and answered simply and straightforwardly: "I'm in the dormitory."

Yan Yu: ...

It seems that I can't pretend to be a little bit suddenly.

Probably because the flashing "You are not right" in Yan Ju's eyes was too eye-catching, Chu Ruxu hurriedly explained before he changed his mind: "There are some small restaurants near the school, which are noisy and not suitable for treating guests. It is too late at this hour Gao Feng, it’s too troublesome to go back to the city.”

"The dormitory is equipped with a kitchen, and I'll make it for you." Chu Ruxu bent the corners of her eyes, her pupils shining brightly in the sunset, and she looked very sincere, "I asked Brother Ye what you like to eat, and I went to prepare the ingredients early this morning. "

Chu Ruxu's voice is naturally a little alienated and indifferent, but he can always control it very well in front of Yan Jue. Except for the flash of aggression when he just met and was alone, he can maintain his basic state. It can be seen that there is a deliberate attempt to be cute, but it is just right and refreshing.

"Try it, I'm pretty good at it."

The volume gradually decreased, with a little confidence that he had made a wrong decision, Ke Yan listened, but he always felt that the other party seemed to be acting like a spoiled child.

The wind in the evening is soft, and the fragrance of grass and trees blows lightly.

Yan Ju's teeth itch inexplicably, his heart itches, and the tips of his ears also itch.

It seemed like a sign of an impending allergy, but Yan Ji couldn't guess the cause.

It can't be to stress the poor-looking children, can it?

How bad that is.

It's time for him to stop being tough and to reject the other party's wishes quickly.

Chu Ruxu's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but before she could organize her words, she was interrupted by some heckling.

"Chu Ruxu! Let's play ball together tonight!"

"Come on, there are two gymnasiums on the opposite side today, you and Brother Pei are not here, we must not be pinned to the ground and hammered."

"Brother Pei is in a hurry to go home and start dating, what are you doing?"

At the corner not far away, there were a few boys standing. What they shouted was an invitation, but judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they didn't care much about winning or losing the game.

Most of them were joking and watching Chu Ruxu lively.

"I'm really convinced." Chu Ruxu muttered helplessly, then laughed and cursed over there: "You deserve to lose, hurry up and disappear."

He carefully glanced at Yan Ju's expression, and seeing that he showed no sign of getting angry, he added a half-sentence as if showing off: "I'm in a hurry to cook for my brother."

Not in a hurry, nor his brother's words: ...

Forget it.

These two words suddenly popped up in Yan Ju's heart.

It was the same as yesterday when the brain fever agreed to the other party's invitation.

Immediately afterwards, short self-comforting sentences such as "It's all here", "It's today anyway", and so on.

Anyway, I can only go home alone.

He didn't have any close friends.

I can only pour a glass of wine, lie in the small empty garden, and use enough time and energy to conduct all-round criticism and reflection on all my past choices.

This is driven by rationality, and Yan Ju feels that he should go through the process after breaking up, but this is exactly what he has been avoiding recently.

Forget it.

It's good to stay, at least there is Chu Ruxu who is willing to rush to make her happy.

Not a loss.

Thinking of this, he finished his self-persuading speech again, and couldn't help clearing his throat, and seemed to change the topic inadvertently.

He slightly bent Chu Ruxu's side with his elbow, drawing the other's attention back to himself.

"When did Ningda dormitory have a kitchen?" he asked.

Chu Ruxu was taken aback, but obviously, he didn't catch any degree of "rejection" from this question.

After receiving the signal quickly, he tacitly chose not to ask what had shaken the other party. He just recovered the excitement that had nowhere to rest, tried to suppress it, and restrained himself by pulling the tongue twice with his fingertips. Cuffs, signaling the other party to follow him.

"The new building that was handed over last year is in good condition." Chu Ruxu replied with a smile.

Yan Ju followed beside him, nodded, and responded: "No wonder."

"When I graduated, I heard that the dormitory might be renovated. It turned out that it was going to be demolished and built a new one."

Chu Ruxu shook her head, turned her face towards the southwest corner of the school and raised her chin: "It's not demolished, the layout has been changed, and it's returned to the Academy of Arts as a practice field."

"Want to go back and have a look later?" Chu Ruxu asked thoughtfully.

"No." Yan Jue simply replied, without even turning his eyes to that side, he twitched the corners of his mouth, his tone was relaxed, and he didn't know if he was speaking to Chu Ruxu, or he was emphasizing to himself, "I'm not nostalgic." Get used to it, it’s better to keep some things in memory.”

"It's meaningless to think about it on a whim."

"On the contrary, it is more likely to disgust yourself."

When Chu Ruxu heard the words, she turned her head thoughtfully, stared at Yan Ju's beautifully shaped nose for a while, and then echoed meaningfully: "Indeed, no wonder everyone always says that the old is not as good as the new."

"It still makes sense."

……

The moment he saw the new student dormitory of Ningda University, Yan Ju thoroughly understood the meaning of "the old is not as good as the new". Whether Chu Ruxu meant it or not, it was hard for him not to understand it in this direction anyway.

On campus, building a building with more than [-] floors is somewhat excessive, isn't it?

Yan Jue made a comparison with the six-story low-rise building he lived in back then, and suddenly felt that the "conditions are very good" that Chu Ruxu just said was a bit modest and restrained.

"Each floor is equipped with a self-study room and a small library, and the installation art works in the lobby are regularly replaced by the Academy of Fine Arts."

"The second and third floors are 24-hour supermarkets and special snacks. The fourth floor is equipped with a swimming pool, gym, KTV, etc. Oh yes, there is also a small shooting range. It is troublesome to make an appointment one month in advance. I will take you to play again."

"The fifth floor is reserved for faculty members and their families, and the upper floors are student dormitories."

While skillfully introducing the hardware and software of the apartment, Chu Ruxu opened the door with her fingerprints: "The garden bar on the roof is still being renovated, and it should be open by the end of the year."

"I'll send you an invitation letter at that time." Chu Ruxu turned sideways and stood by the door, with her palms up, bent her waist slightly, and made a slightly exaggerated posture, "Brother, please come in."

The word "you" has disappeared, but the sticky address has been retained.

Yan Ju smiled, but didn't ask how the other party was qualified to send him an invitation letter.

The Chu family's children used their daily pocket money to invest in a bar in college, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.

"Brother Ju, you can sit wherever you want, tonight it's just the two of us." Chu Ruxu hung his backpack to the door and said as he walked towards the kitchen.

Oh?

Just the two of us?

Hearing this, Yan Ju raised his eyebrows.

I don't know if it's Chu Ruxu's first impression of himself that's causing trouble, or if he is too impure as an adult, anyway, he can always pick up some "hints" that seem to be absent from the lines of the other party.

But Yan Ju didn't take it seriously, after all, the other party was a certified friend of Ye Jue and Pei Yanqiu, and his character would never be bad.

"Brother Ju?" So Yan Ju chose to change the focus of questioning.

Chu Ruxu bent his eyes and put on an innocent look: "Isn't that what Pei Yanqiu called you?"

Yan Ju thought to himself, if people call you by their surname, but you call them by their first name, can it be the same?

But he just smiled and didn't expose the other party's small thoughts.

He took the sparkling water from Chu Ruxu.

The child was very thoughtful, and he had iced it for him in advance. It was served in a long and beautiful crystal cup with lemon slices and strawberry slices in the mouth of the cup. Two slices of mint floated in the light green transparent liquid.

Yan Yu took a sip.

It's tonic water mixed with some grapefruit syrup, non-alcoholic, very refreshing.

He jokingly looked up at Chu Ruxu. He originally thought that the other party must take the opportunity to prepare some alcoholic beverages as auxiliary props in order to achieve some "meaningful" goals. He didn't expect that the child was much more upright than he imagined. .

"Yesterday you said on the phone that there was a drinking party, and you drank a lot the night before, so I thought it would be better to eat something light today." Chu Ruxu looked at Yan Jue's expression and smiled a little guilty, like As if embarrassed, he went back to the kitchen.

Yan Ju was taken aback, he really didn't expect Chu Ruxu to even notice these little details.

Since he started his business with Bo Lu in his junior year, he has been forced to go to countless wine bureaus.

In the beginning, he drank and vomited a few times. Later, not to mention drinking for several days, he even changed scenes three times a night. He managed to keep himself from getting too drunk. The land chose what the other party liked, and successfully reached a cooperation.

The night before yesterday, it was he who deliberately wanted to divert attention, and Chu Ruxu bumped into his own gaffe by accident.

May have caused some misunderstandings to the other party?

But Yan Ju didn't want to correct him, Chu Ruxu's thoughtfulness was very helpful to him.

"Well, it's a little uncomfortable, thank you." Yan Jue said along with the other party, and took the initiative to find a new topic, "You four live here?"

Yan Ju sat and glanced around the house. The area here is very large, the decoration style is similar to a hotel-style apartment, and the layout looks very comfortable. The public area is probably the kitchen, dining room, large bathroom, laundry room and a place for two. Balcony with rattan chairs.

There are two adjacent rooms on the east and west sides, and all the doors are closed. It seems that except for Chu Ruxu, no one else has come back.

Chu Ruxu said "hmm", and while cutting the lettuce, he introduced: "The two rooms on the east side belong to me and Pei Yanqiu, but as long as he doesn't encounter force majeure, he will almost always go back to live with brother Ye Jue, and he will come back during the day Take a nap and have a meal."

"The head of the house goes to Linshi for an internship every Friday, and he doesn't come back until Tuesday morning." Chu Ruxu paused, "The other room, um... he doesn't often come on weekends."

As for the reason, Chu Ruxu didn't specifically explain, and Yan Ju didn't intend to spy.

He wasn't much interested in the lives of strangers.

Behind the silver-white counter, Chu Ruxu was busy with his head bowed, his movements were calm and orderly, obviously he was a frequent cook, not the kind of braggadocio who insisted on bragging for praise.

Fireworks diffused in the living room, and the warm yellow light strips cast soft light, mixed with the gorgeous sunset outside the window and the refreshing wind in the early summer evening, covering Chu Ruxu's body, making even the broken hair on his forehead pleasing to the eye.

The main light was not turned on in the room, and the whole room except the kitchen was dimmed together with the sky.

Yan Ju pinched the cup with his fingers, the ice cubes slowly melted with the room temperature, and the water vapor condensed outside the cup wall slid down, it was a bit icy, but still acceptable.

Yan Ju sat in the shadow outside the halo, stared at Chu Ruxu for a while, then turned his head to look out the window.

Ning University is still brightly lit at night, and it has the self-consciousness of being a top university. It will not be until after eleven o'clock that the campus will gradually become lonely. It has been like this since Yan Ju was still in school.

He's used to it, and kind of misses it.

Probably it was this long-lost warm atmosphere that made Yan Ju, who had adapted to being alone, suddenly feel at a loss.

He rarely has the opportunity to share a similar moment with others.

In the evening in his memory, there is only a "home" that is so quiet that there is no trace of popularity.

The school knew about his parents' situation, but they were afraid of responsibility and trouble, so they could only reject his application for living in school for various reasons.

So every day after evening self-study, Yan Ju would always take the initiative to go out with a few classmates for a night out. Others play games while he reads beside him.

But others who skipped class or stayed up all night would be urged and scolded by the family, but he was never cared about.

So in the end, Yan Ji still forced himself to get used to it.

Get used to occupying an empty house alone, get used to the dullness of the night.

Day after day, he calmly accepts the loneliness he cannot resist.

It's a pity to say that the six-year relationship with Bai Lu has not changed anything...

The sound of Chu Ruxu pouring the shrimp into the pan and stir frying brought Yan Ju back to reality.

As if awakened, he unnaturally put the glass on the low table.

To ease his awkwardness, he picked up the upside-down book on the table, trying to divert his attention so as not to be torn into some kind of trap by the emotional vortex.

It was a collection of poems, and the writer Yan Ji did not know it.

He flipped the book casually, and opened the book obediently to the one that was folded at the corner. With the last ray of light, Yan Ju could clearly see the following lines:

[In the beginning, summer was just a feeling,]

It seems to be a hint.

Suddenly there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, followed by noisy laughter and chats, probably the students in some room brought friends back for a party.

【Feel the earth,】

The voice lasted for a while before it gradually faded away and disappeared. Yan Ju turned his head as if he had a premonition, and looked at where Chu Ruxu was.

Peeps were spotted.

Chu Ruxu paused, but then laughed. He put two black porcelain bowls on the table, and raised his chin towards Yan Ju. The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, as if he had rehearsed it countless times in his mind.

"Brother." His relaxed voice was low and lazy, which was more in line with his own temperament, "Come and serve the meal."

I don't know why, but Chu Ruxu always has the ability to add a little bewitching flavor to such an apparently innocent conversation.

Yan Yu was really puzzled by this.

It is difficult to figure out whether it is a problem with the person, or the words are not serious.

Seeing that he was not moving, Chu Ruxu took off her apron, tapped her fingertips on the edge of the bowl twice, and urged in a soft tone, "Come here quickly."

"Help me."

[I feel you. 】

In the room the night before, Xiao Chu, who had rehearsed every movement and expression in front of the mirror: I don’t believe I can’t take you down (handsome guy is confident)
