The whole afternoon, Lu Yuxing stayed in the coffee shop next to the library.

There were a few students sitting sporadically in the coffee shop, discussing topics and homework with their peers in a low voice.Lu Yuxing sat in the corner, silently flipping through the book in his hand.

There was only a quarter of the Americano left on the table, and this was already his second cup of the afternoon.Too much caffeine kept him awake.Frowning slightly, he quickly flipped through the book in his hand.

Lu Yuxing skimmed the book from beginning to end, sighed, put it back on the table without a clue, and closed his eyes.

He didn't understand why he came to borrow this book.

The chaotic thoughts are like catkins blown by the wind, disorganized and unable to grasp anything.

The young man's handsome face was hidden in the darkness, and the sunlight outside the window shone on the table, illuminating the heavy old book with sparkles.

At this moment, a figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, blocking the sunlight behind him.

The sunlight on the table suddenly disappeared.Lu Yuxing turned his head to look out the window, and saw Tang Tang standing outside the window, greeting him through the glass.

Lu Yuxing raised his hand to signal him to come in.

The wind chime at the door of the store rang softly, and Tang Tang walked in gently and sat across from him.

"Why did it end so early?" Lu Yuxing removed the book on the table and put it beside him, "It's only four o'clock, will Jiang Bing let you go?"

Tang Tang's suspicious eyes stayed on the sofa beside Lu Yuxing for a moment, "Today is over early, there are some small problems." He looked away, looked at the cup of Americano coffee that had gone cold long ago, and frowned slightly.

Lu Yuxing asked casually, "What happened?"

"Senior Buhan is not feeling well," Tang Tang explained, "In the middle of our rehearsal, she said she had a stomachache, so she went back to rest." He glanced out the window, "I can't practice without her, so I Come out first."

Lu Yuxing remembered Bu Han, she was the actor who played Gwendolen this time and Jack's fiancée.

Bu Han is very beautiful, and his lines are also very good.She is not tall, so acting as a couple with Lu Yuxing always feels like a small bird.Lu Yuxing's oppression was too strong, and Gwendolen's original nobility and pride could not be revealed.

Lu Yuxing imagined how Bu Han and Tang Tang would play together, and thought that it might be more suitable for them to be the leading actors.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Tang Tang continued, "Senior Jiang plans to change the performance time to the weekend next week. Ah Xing, you must come and see it."

"Next week?" Lu Yuxing raised his eyes slightly and said, "I told Jiang Bing that I will never appear in the drama club again."

"She only said she wouldn't let you come to the club, but she didn't say she wouldn't let you come to the show." Tang Tang pouted and looked at him pitifully, "Aren't you going to come and see me?"

Lu Yuxing curled the corners of his mouth, and the haze in his heart was swept away. "Of course."

Dark clouds covered the sky, and it was raining heavily outside the window.

Neither of them brought an umbrella, so they sat in the coffee shop for a while, planning to go back after the rain stopped.

Tiny raindrops hit the glass, Tang Tang reached out and touched the foggy window.He quietly glanced at Lu Yuxing who was sitting opposite, and saw that he was holding the heavy old book, leaning against the dark sofa, his slightly raised eyes were lowered.

He was staring at Lu Yuxing's sword eyebrows when he was caught by the other party.

Tang Tang felt guilty, dodged his eyes in a panic, and asked with a smile, "What book are you reading?"

Many of the library's old book covers are torn, so they are uniformly wrapped in linen-colored cloth.There is a huge number on the spine of the book, but the title of the book is written crookedly with a fine-tipped signature pen.It's hard to tell the title of a book without looking carefully at the title on the spine.The administrators have made numerous comments on this point, but the school has never improved.

Lu Yuxing raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were sharp.

"Just take a look, it's just a book to pass the time." He said, tentatively took the bookmark with the campus scenery of HKU out of the book page, and put it on the table.

A car drove past the window, the headlights flickered by, and the water marks on the glass reflected strange light like jewels, shining on the bookmark.

Lu Yuxing withdrew his eyes and continued to read, but he was paying attention to Tang Tang's movements from the corner of his eye.

The bookmark is on his right hand side.

Tang Tang caressed the corner of the marble table boredly, his eyes lingered on the bookmark for a while.

"Where did you buy this bookmark?"

Unexpectedly, Tang Tang reached out to pick up the bookmark and asked Lu Yuxing directly.He held the bookmark in his hand and looked at it curiously for a while.

"This is printed by the journalism students themselves." Lu Yuxing observed his expression, "This is mine. If you like it, you can take it."

"Really!"

Tang Tang's eyes lit up with excitement, and he showed the dimple on his left cheek, as if he had found a treasure.

Lu Yuxing looked at him, thought for a moment, then nodded silently.

The rain continued until it got dark and then gradually decreased.The dark night sky was still covered with dark clouds, and there was no sign of stopping the rain.

Lu Yuxing glanced at the time and decided not to wait any longer.

Tang Tang saw his thoughts and said with a smile, "The rain hasn't stopped yet. Ah Xing, can you take me in today?"

"Isn't your brother coming to pick you up?" Lu Yuxing raised his hand and made a phone call, "The jewelry company is not far from here."

His mind was broken, and Tang Tang turned his face away with some embarrassment. "He's busy and doesn't have time for me."

Lu Yuxing curled the corners of his mouth, watching Tang Tang's face blushing more and more leisurely.He didn't push further, he just teased him a little bit and then stopped.

"Don't go back tonight," he got up, took Tang Tang to the door of the store, and took off his coat. "I don't know when the rain will stop."

The temperature was low at night, so Lu Yuxing put on a thin coat over his shirt.He put the coat on Tang Tang's head, and handed him the book in his hand.

"You agreed?" Tang Tang put a coat on his head and held the book in his arms, a little unresponsive.

"I agree." Lu Yuxing held his shoulders and stepped out of the coffee shop, "Let's go, it will rain again later."

Outside the coffee shop, the school library and teaching buildings were all in a haze.The pale street lamps were on, and the halo was blurred.The rain was not heavy, but Lu Yuxing still wrapped Tang Tang tightly, hugged his shoulders tightly, and walked quickly to the direction of the community.

The height difference between Tang Tang and him is close to ten centimeters, so it always feels like leaning in the other's arms when he holds his shoulders.Lu Yuxing strode forward with long legs, trying to avoid puddles on the road with water.Tang Tang was wrapped in his scent, the strong bitter scent on the coat filled the senses, mixed with the coolness of the rain, it made the heart beat faster.He hugged the book in his arms tightly, protecting it.

However, only Tang Tang noticed this.

Rainy days can always evoke some bad memories, Lu Yuxing faced the rain, his cheeks and hair were all wet.He frowned slightly, trying his best to identify the direction in the dark rainy night.

There were very few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a vehicle passed by and splashed water, but Lu Yuxing blocked it.The two trotted for two or three minutes in the rain, and soon arrived downstairs in the community.

The lights in the corridor flickered in the dark, and Lu Yuxing rushed in with Tang Tang in his arms.

After running all the way, both of them were short of breath.Lu Yuxing supported the wall with one hand, panting slightly.

Tang Tang took the coat off his head and looked at Lu Yuxing with some concern.His shirt was almost soaked, revealing the color of his skin.The originally meticulously combed hair was also a little messy, and a few strands of hair hung down, covering the deep eyebrows and eyes.

"Is it cold?" Tang Tang returned the coat to him

Tang Tang gasped for breath, frowned in distress, and raised his hand to wipe off the water droplets on Lu Yuxing's face.

However, just as he stretched out his hand in front of Lu Yuxing, Lu Yuxing suddenly raised his head, looking vigilantly into the dark rain like a cheetah.

His eyes were fearful and sharp, Tang Tang was startled, and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Ah Xing?" He glanced at Lu Yuxing vigilantly, and followed his gaze to look outside. "What's wrong?"

Lu Yuxing didn't say a word, just staring at the dark shadow of the tree.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and the rainwater hit the broad evergreen leaves, making a patchwork sound.

However, Lu Yuxing clearly saw something flashed just now.Tang Tang turned his back to the outside of the building, so naturally he would not see it.

"It's nothing." He looked away, and undid a few buttons of his rain-stained shirt, "Let's go upstairs."

He took the coat Tang Tang handed over and went upstairs.

Tang Tang turned around in confusion and glanced at the black hole outside the building where he couldn't see anything. He carried the book and followed him upstairs.

Lu Yu walked very fast, Tang Tang was half a flight of stairs slower than him, so he had to speed up his pace to follow.

After entering the room, Tang Tang saw that Lu Yuxing had already taken off his shirt.

He turned his back to the entrance, showing his muscular back.

Lu Yuxing didn't mean to let Tang Tang see it.He threw the wet clothes into the clothes basket at the door of the bathroom, turned around and saw Tang Tang standing at the door, and was also taken aback.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to go so fast."

Lu Yuxing was not used to showing his body in front of Tang Tang.He was in good shape, with narrow waist and broad shoulders, beading off his thin abs.Tang Tang's eyes fell on his chest unconsciously, Lu Yuxing avoided his eyes in embarrassment, turned around and threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine.

A slight laugh came from behind, Tang Tang approached a little, and said softly jokingly: "Ah Xing, your face is so red."

Whether Lu Yuxing looked at him or not, he turned around and went to the balcony to get a towel, and went straight into the bathroom.

"Have it?"

In the bathroom, the sound of water drowned out his voice. "There's a hair dryer in the TV cabinet, go and dry your hair."

Tang Tang raised his hand and rubbed his hair that didn't touch a drop of water, pursed his lips, and sat down on the sofa.

The soft sofa bounced slightly, and the books that were originally placed aside also shook.

"Ok?"

Tang Tang's eyes fell on the flaxen cover of the book.

He stared at the crooked words on the cover thoughtfully for a while, then took it over and put it on his knee, opened it and flipped through it.

The author says:

I'm a little busy today, so I'm late
