The sky was dark, and the street lamps at the entrance of the alley gave off a dim light.

Lu Jinyan didn't say anything, but those shiny black eyes seemed to have said everything.

After a brief pause in filming, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and Jiang Yubai felt flustered for a while, subconsciously avoided his eyes, and said in a tight voice, "First, first go to the medical room to see your arm."

Lu Jinyan was silent for a moment, and replied, "Okay."

The two returned to school and walked to the school infirmary.

When entering the door, the beautiful school doctor on duty was on the phone, and she smiled as soon as she saw them: "What luck is there today, there are two handsome guys here?"

"Hello, teacher." Jiang Yubai greeted, and went straight to the point, "His arm is bleeding, please take a look, teacher."

Lu Jinyan nodded slightly: "Ms. Li."

Teacher Li beckoned: "Come on, come and let me have a look."

Lu Jinyan walked over, let go of his left arm, and asked Mr. Li to roll up the sleeves of his T-shirt.

Jiang Yubai stood aside with a tense expression. Seeing the dried blood on his arm, he tightened his fingers on the hem of his clothes.

Teacher Li held Lu Jinyan's arm and moved it up and down, left and right a few times, and said in a calm tone, "It's okay, I just scratched the skin, and I'll just deal with it for you."

"Are you really all right?" Jiang Yubai couldn't help but took a step forward, with a worried tone, "Bleeding teacher."

"It's really fine, can I still lie to you?" Teacher Li smiled, "Is this your first time here? It's common for Lu Jinyan to injure himself playing ball."

Lu Jinyan smiled sideways at him: "I said it's all right?"

Jiang Yubai asked again: "Will it affect playing basketball?"

"It doesn't matter, it didn't hurt the bones." Teacher Li glanced at him, and his tone was a little teasing, "He was injured, why are you more nervous than him?"

This time Jiang Yubai was silent, lowered his eyelashes and took a step back.

Teacher Li skillfully cleaned and disinfected the wound, and put on a medical sterile applicator. During the process, he did not forget to gossip: "Little handsome guy, are you Lu Jinyan's friend? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Jiang Yubai replied obediently: "I'm Lu Jinyan's roommate, we just met this semester."

"Oh, no wonder." Teacher Li let go of his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Then you often come to the infirmary to play in the future!"

"Ms. Li, who is a normal person who wants to come to the infirmary often?" Lu Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's fine for me to come alone."

Teacher Li shook his finger and said in disapproval: "You can't say that, you don't have to see a doctor when you come to the infirmary!"

While talking, other students came in: "Ms. Li."

The two didn't stay any longer, and left the infirmary with the medicine prescribed by Teacher Li, and went to the cafeteria for dinner.

Lu Jinyan injured his arm and couldn't eat spicy food, so he ordered two chicken noodle soup.

Jiang Yubai silently picked up the chicken legs in the bowl, put them in the opposite bowl, and picked up the quail eggs he likes to eat.

Lu Jinyan looked at the noodle soup piled up higher and higher, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger: "Xiaobai, do you want to give me everything in your bowl?"

After eating with the chopsticks, Jiang Yubai didn't speak, and continued to pick up the vegetables.

"Okay, okay, I can't finish it." Lu Jinyan raised his hand to cover the mouth of the bowl, "I only shed a few drops of blood, and a bowl of chicken noodle soup is enough to make up for it."

Jiang Yubai didn't speak, but stirred the noodles twice with his chopsticks, and suddenly called out, "Lu Jinyan."

"Huh?" Lu Jinyan looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"Next time, don't get hurt because of me." Jiang Yubai's long and thick eyelashes trembled a few times, Jiang Yubai didn't look up at him, and his tone was extremely serious, "No matter how small the injury is."

Lu Jinyan thought for a while and replied, "I will try my best."

After eating the chicken noodle soup, Jiang Yubai put the plate in the collection place, and then said to Lu Jinyan, "Go back to the dormitory and rest, I'm going to the studio."

Lu Jinyan immediately replied, "I'll accompany you."

"No need." Jiang Yubai looked into his eyes, "Go back and rest."

"It's so late, I don't worry about you being alone." Lu Jinyan shook his left hand, "It's almost over."

Jiang Yubai pursed her lips: "Before I met you, I always went to and from the studio alone, it was safe."

Lu Jinyan was stunned for a moment: "Xiaobai..."

"You go back." Jiang Yubai turned and walked out, his back was straight and stubborn.

Lu Jinyan took a step forward, followed behind him not too far away, and finally stopped at the fork in front of the cafeteria.

It wasn't until the figure disappeared from sight that he turned and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

It seems that they are pushing people too hard. They clearly said that they would give Xiaobai time, but they still couldn't control themselves...

No, it's time to adjust the rhythm.

The next morning, Jiang Yubai woke up very early.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone in the dormitory was asleep, he quietly climbed out of bed, washed up briefly, put on his schoolbag and left the dormitory.

From beginning to end, he didn't dare to glance at the person sleeping on the lower bunk.

The morning class was over, and the classroom had almost left, but Jiang Yubai sat in his seat without moving.

After a long time, he slowly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Lu Jinyan: [I'm going out to eat with Dongdong at noon today. ]

Lu Jinyan's message came back quickly: [Okay, eat more. ]

Jiang Yubai frowned, put down his phone and lay down on the desk, closed his eyes and took a nap.

He didn't go to eat at noon, and went straight to the color class in the afternoon after waking up.

During class break, Professor Pei walked up to him, looked at him for a while, and said, "Xiaobai, your heart is restless."

The brush trembled slightly, and Jiang Yubai apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, teacher."

"During sketching, you were obviously in good condition." Professor Pei sighed imperceptibly, and asked again, "Have the exhibited works been completed?"

Jiang Yubai responded, "It's done."

He turned around and took out the finished product from the box, and the students around him immediately surrounded him and let out bursts of exclamation.

Professor Pei pushed his glasses, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then nodded in satisfaction: "It can be sent."

From Professor Pei's expression, the students immediately understood that the competition was a sure thing, and congratulated Jiang Yubai in advance.

Jiang Yubai put the painting back into the box with a calm expression, and continued to sketch the classwork with a pen.

After class, he stayed in the studio to practice as usual.

As it was getting dark, he glanced at the time and went out to the bathroom.

When he came back, he found that Lu Jinyan had sent him a message.

Lu Jinyan: [About when will the painting end today? ]

Lu Jinyan: [I want to have dinner with you, okay? ]

Jiang Yubai's heart moved, his fingertips landed on the keyboard, and then he exited the dialogue interface.

Sure enough, Lu Jinyan also realized that he was avoiding him.

He didn't reply to the message, and when he turned around, his eyes fell on the participating oil painting inadvertently, and the blood in his body froze instantly.

Over there, Lu Jinyan couldn't wait for an answer, so he endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back, and walked towards the art building.

Before confessing, he could still have dinner with Xiaobai every day. After confessing for no reason, he would give up what he had insisted on for so long.

Arriving at the door of the studio with ease, the hand that was about to push the door paused, and then knocked lightly on the door.

There was a dead silence in the studio, as if no one was there.

"Xiaobai." He whispered, "I'm coming in."

Pushing open the door, Jiang Yubai stood in front of the easel with his back facing him and bowed his head, motionless.

"Xiaobai?" Lu Jinyan faintly sensed that something was wrong, and walked up quickly, only to see those beautiful hands holding the exhibited painting.

Taking a closer look, Lu Jinyan's expression suddenly changed: "Who did it?"

The canvas was cut several times from the middle with a knife, so deep that it almost ran through the entire painting.

Jiang Yubai seemed to have just woken up from a dream, staring at the painting in his hand and muttering to himself: "It's ruined, it's all ruined..."

Lu Jinyan gritted his molars, walked around to him, and wanted to take the painting from his hand: "There is still time, I can draw another one."

"I can't do it." Jiang Yubai let go of his hand, squatted down suddenly, covered his face with his hands, his voice trembling slightly, "I can't draw two pictures that are exactly the same..."

Not only the color palette and brush strokes, each painting is created by him with the fullest emotions at the moment, and it is impossible to draw exactly the same works.

Even if it is barely reproduced, the new painting has lost the touching vitality it should have.

"Look at me, Xiaobai." Lu Jinyan knelt on one knee, holding his thin shoulders facing each other.

The big hands were hot and powerful, and the heat from the palm penetrated through the fabric, bringing a miraculous stabilizing force.

Jiang Yubai slowly lowered his hands, revealing an aggrieved, pitiful and extremely beautiful face.

"Recall the moment that gave you inspiration, think back to the moment when you experienced hope, I believe you must have other ways of expressing it." Lu Jinyan said slowly in a deep and gentle voice, "We still have time, you can Jiang Yubai ,I will always stay with you."

Jiang Yubai squatted on the ground and looked at him, stood up silently after a long time, and returned to the easel.

Jiang Yubai sat on the chair, closed her eyes, trying to bring herself back to that day.

The small town that has never changed from ancient times, the wet rain curtain, the little yellow flowers hiding under the oil paper umbrella, and the bright and beautiful smile of the person in front of him.

After a while, he opened his eyes again, picked up a brush and began to compose the picture.

Lu Jinyan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on his face.

He knew that Xiaobai would definitely be able to do it.

Naturally, there was no time to eat dinner, so Lu Jinyan went to the cafeteria to pack two meals, and returned to the studio soon.

Jiang Yubai took the lunch box and didn't know what to say, so he could only thank you in a low voice: "Thank you, Lu Jinyan."

Lu Jinyan smiled slightly: "Thank you for what?"

After a brief dinner, he moved another chair and sat behind the easel, not only not disturbing Xiao Bai, but also making Xiao Bai feel his presence.

At night, the art building is completely silent, and Jiang Yubai devotes himself to the creation. Occasionally, he will look sideways at the people behind him, and he will get a gentle and encouraging smile.

However, the long-term regular work and rest made him uncontrollably a little drowsy.

Lu Jinyan went to the vending machine halfway to buy two cups of coffee, and then told him jokes to amuse him when he came back.

Although the joke was not very funny, this night was not as difficult as imagined because of the company.

Until the light of day faded, Lu Jinyan sat up from the chair and walked lightly to the easel.

The canvas is a brand new painting. The ancient town covered by torrential rain, whether it is the sky in the distance or the trees nearby, are like large groups of dark and distorted color blocks, depressing and suffocating.

But the first thing the viewer sees is the ray of light piercing through the gloomy clouds, as if a bolt of lightning tore apart the heavy and gloomy picture, everyone will be involuntarily attracted by that ray of light.

And the end point of that beam of light pointed to the back of an umbrella in the rain.

Lu Jinyan stared dazedly at the painting, and after a long while, he bent down and hugged the tired man who had fallen asleep against the back of the chair into his arms, carefully adjusting his posture to make him sleep a little more comfortably.

About an hour later, Jiang Yubai frowned slightly, the first thing that woke up was the sense of smell.

There was a familiar good smell lingering at the tip of his nose, he opened his sleepy eyes, and his unfocused eyes fell on the well-lined jaw.

After several seconds, his consciousness came back, and Jiang Yubai realized that he was lying in Lu Jinyan's arms, with his head resting on his broad and straight shoulders, and his forehead resting on his warm neck.

The pair of eyes that were always staring at him closed, the long distinct eyelashes drooped quietly, and fell asleep in an awkward position.

His heartbeat was suddenly out of sequence, and he tried his best to restrain the urge to jump down immediately, moving his body bit by bit, trying not to disturb the other party.

"Xiaobai?" The next second, the arms holding him tightened suddenly, and Lu Jinyan looked down at him with half-closed eyelids.

Jiang Yubai's back stiffened, and he struggled to break away from his embrace and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Lu Jinyan didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and let go of his hands obediently.

"It's almost seven o'clock." Lu Jinyan's voice was low and hoarse just after waking up, and he glanced at his watch, "Go back to the dormitory to wash up first?"

"I'm not going back to the dormitory now, you go back." Jiang Yubai shook his head, "I have to watch my paintings and send them out in the afternoon."

Lu Jinyan stood up: "Okay, then I'll go back first."

After successfully sending the oil painting, Jiang Yubai went back to the dormitory to take a shower, and then went back to catch up on sleep.

I slept until it was completely dark, and when I woke up, everyone else in the dormitory was there, but they tacitly did not make any noise.

"Xiaobai, are you awake?" Lu Jinyan was the first to notice his movements, and turned to look at the upper bunk, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Sleep well." Jiang Yubai climbed down the escalator, walked to the table, and asked softly, "Have you come back to catch up on sleep?"

Lu Jinyan looked at him and smiled: "Look at my radiant look, I must have made up for it."

"Xiaobai, we've heard from brother Lu about this." Shen Zhao took off his earphones and cursed angrily, "The person who ruined your painting is really disgusting! If I catch you, I'll fuck you Definitely beat him to death!"

"That's right!" Ding Hongyu scolded, "If you can do such insidious things as destroying people's blood, don't you want to accumulate some sinister virtue for yourself?"

Mentioning the destroyed painting, Jiang Yubai's eyes instantly turned cold.

Lu Jinyan asked: "Who did it, do you have any guesses in your heart?"

Jiang Yubai vaguely had a candidate in his mind, but there was no evidence yet, so he just replied: "There is surveillance in the studio, just adjust the surveillance to see."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had slept in Lu Jinyan's arms for an unknown amount of time in the morning. Wasn't it all captured by surveillance cameras?

"I'm afraid this matter..." Lu Jinyan frowned, "It's not that simple."

As expected, the next morning they went to Professor Pei to explain the situation, and after getting approval, they went to adjust the monitoring, but found that the camera in the studio had been broken for several days.

The person who destroyed the painting took advantage of this loophole.

Lu Jinyan asked the teacher to call up the monitor in front of the art building. After dragging the progress back and forth, he noticed a sneaky figure with sharp eyes.

Jiang Yubai frowned: "Yang Wenjie?"

"It really is him." Lu Jinyan sneered, "I don't know how to live or die."

Jiang Yubai stared at the figure in the surveillance video expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone, "But the surveillance in the studio is broken, and there is no direct evidence."

"It's okay, Xiaobai." Lu Jinyan held his shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Leave this matter to me."

Jiang Yubai looked up at him, with a hesitant tone: "How do you want to solve it?"

Lu Jinyan smiled at him reassuringly: "Of course I have my way, you don't have to worry."

Lu Jinyan's solution was to find Yang Wenjie's dormitory and call him out.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Yang Wenjie stood at the corner of the stairs with a defensive look on his face.

Lu Jinyan cut to the chase and said, "Did you destroy Jiang Yubai's entry?"

Yang Wenjie was caught off guard, and stammered back: "No, it's not me!"

"Who isn't you?" Lu Jinyan looked at him coldly, with an aura like a sharp knife out of its sheath, "The surveillance has caught you, and you still dare to quibble?"

Yang Wenjie blurted out: "The studio monitor is obviously broken, how could it be possible to take pictures of me?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and took a few steps back like a guilty conscience: "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm going back to the dormitory!"

Lu Jinyan didn't stop him, but asked, "What happened to the gay who drugged me, have you heard about it?"

Yang Wenjie's face suddenly became very ugly.

Of course he had heard that the gay was suspended from school by Lu Jinyan in the end, and he hasn't come back yet!

"You only know that he's suspended from school, but you don't know the detailed process that led to his suspension." Lu Jinyan stepped forward and approached him step by step, "As for me, what I'm best at is treating others in the same way as others body."

Yang Wenjie backed away involuntarily, and still insisted: "I, I have never done something, you can't force me to admit it!"

Lu Jinyan's slightly lowered eyes seemed to be looking at an ant struggling needlessly: "I give you two choices, first, apologize to Jiang Yubai, admit to the teacher what you have done, and take the initiative to ask for a transfer. From now on, seeing Jiang Yubai Just get out of the way."

After all, without waiting for the other party to quibble, he continued: "Second, in the next college career, you will not have any complete and valuable works."

Lu Jinyan's tone didn't show the slightest sign of joking. Yang Wenjie trembled, his legs were so weak that he almost rolled down the stairs on the spot, and hugged the railing in embarrassment.

At this time, a thin and tall figure slowly walked up: "Yang Wenjie, is this participation quota so enviable to you?"

Yang Wenjie widened his eyes and looked at the person who came: "Jiang Yubai, what are you doing here!"

Lu Jinyan's body froze slightly: "Xiaobai?"

Too bad, did Xiao Bai hear all the harsh words he said just now?

Jiang Yubai walked up to him and stood still, with a cold and inexplicable sarcasm: "Instead of making such small moves behind your back, it's better to find a way to improve your own level. Even if I can't participate in this competition, can you touch the threshold of the art exhibition?" Yet?"

"Jiang Yubai!" Yang Wenjie suddenly became excited, "Why do you say that about me!"

Jiang Yubai raised his chin slightly: "Of course it's my strength to crush you."

"You—" Yang Wenjie was furious, and rushed over to hit him, but was kicked to the ground by Lu Jinyan in the next second.

Unable to be scolded or beaten, Yang Wenjie's mentality collapsed, and he shouted in a broken jar, "That's right! It's the painting I ruined, how about it? Why did you get the only spot! Why did you get the only one so easily?" I can participate in the art exhibition of my dreams!"

Jiang Yubai looked down at him condescendingly, and took out the phone that was recording from his pocket: "Just admit it."

At this moment, Yang Wenjie was completely paralyzed on the ground, and he muttered like crazy: "Why do you always look down on me..."

On Friday night, dormitory 611 once again had a group dinner.

This time, the boss booked a recently popular online celebrity barbecue restaurant in advance. The interior decoration atmosphere is really good, and the price is not very expensive.

"It's so relieved!" After listening to the follow-up of the incident of destroying the painting, Shen Zhao was full of praise, "This stinking idiot is only promising!"

After Yang Wenjie blew himself up in the afternoon, he had to go to Professor Pei to admit that out of jealousy, he ruined Jiang Yubai's entry for a while.

Professor Pei was full of disappointment, and led the two of them to find their homeroom teacher to deal with the matter.

Destroying oil paintings is an act of damaging other people's property. After seeking Jiang Yubai's opinion, the class teacher gave Yang Wenjie the penalty of notifying the whole school of criticism, and asked him to send a long letter of apology on various social platforms, and finally planned to transfer him to another class.

In the following college life, Jiang Yubai didn't want to meet this person again.

Zhou Feng asked curiously: "But Xiaobai, how did you catch that Yang Wenjie?"

Jiang Yubai subconsciously looked at Lu Jinyan, seeing that he was concentrating on the barbecue, so he could only reply in a general way: "Caught it through surveillance."

"Wow! Technology benefits mankind!" Ding Hongyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That's right, technology benefits mankind." Lu Jinyan finally raised his eyes, and put the roasted meat into the bowl in front of Jiang Yubai, "Come on, Xiaobai, eat more meat."

"I want to eat meat too, I want to eat meat too!" Shen Zhao's attention was immediately diverted, and he stood up to eat some barbecued meat, "Brother Lu, roast more!"

"Want to eat meat?" Lu Jinyan smiled bluntly, "I want to roast myself."

"Hahaha! Let me grill!" Zhou Feng took the barbecue tongs and started a new round of barbecue.

"Wrap the barbecue with lettuce, so you won't get bored." Lu Jinyan turned his face, with a gentle smile on his face, wrapped the barbecue with lettuce as if to feed Jiang Yubai, "Ah——"

Jiang Yubai's cheeks flushed, and he hid back: "I can do it myself."

Lu Jinyan shrugged regretfully, stuffed the barbecue roll into his mouth, and chewed slowly, his gloomy eyes still fixed on his blushing face.

It's like eating something other than a roast...

After a meal, Jiang Yubai was fed a lot of meat unknowingly, and his eyes were a little dazed after eating.

After eating the barbecue, Shen Zhao proposed to sing K, and Zhou Feng and Ding Hongyu responded enthusiastically.

"Xiaobai and I won't go." Lu Jinyan glanced at the time, "We haven't slept well these two days, we have to go back and have a good rest."

"Okay!" Zhou Feng responded readily, "Then we're going to play, be careful on the way back!"

Walking all the way back to school, Jiang Yubai finally calmed down a bit.

"Xiaobai, let's go to Lover's Lake for a walk." Lu Jinyan looked sideways, "Let's eat more, or we won't be able to sleep at night."

"Okay." Jiang Yubai obediently responded.

The night wind in this season was a bit cold. As he walked, Lu Jinyan took off the coat he was wearing and put it on his shoulders.

"No, I'm not cold." Jiang Yubai refused.

Lu Jinyan clenched his hands tightly, and said in a low voice, "Put it on, I will feel sorry for you if you catch a cold."

Jiang Yubai was taken aback, and the tips of his ears blushed slightly.

For the past two days, he has been so busy with the art exhibition that he forgot that he was going to hide from Lu Jinyan...

"Xiaobai, I thought about it carefully." Lu Jinyan seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and took the initiative to say, "I won't force you, and you don't hide from me, okay?"

With a pause, Jiang Yubai turned to face the lake, avoiding his sight.

Lu Jinyan then turned to the lake: "About I like you—"

"What do you like about me?" Jiang Yubai couldn't help interrupting him, "You don't even know what kind of person I am."

He didn't know most of those who confessed to him easily, and some of them even met him once, so they could say the word "like" at will.

Just because he has such a slightly better-looking face.

He was very unwilling to regard Lu Jinyan as such a person who only looked at appearances, because he already regarded Lu Jinyan as a friend in his heart.

One of his most cherished friends.

Lu Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Xiaobai, if you want me to list one, two, three or four reasons why I like you now, of course I can list them."

He looked at the cold lake under the moonlight, and said every word clearly: "beautiful, cute, kind, principled, obviously very fragile, but unexpectedly strong, the appearance of concentration and love is really fascinating. In my eyes Here, no one in this world will dislike you."

This time, it was Jiang Yubai who was stunned.

"But in fact, it's the first time I like someone, and I don't know that it's unreasonable." Lu Jinyan's tone was extremely serious, "When I realized it was coming, I couldn't control myself anymore."

"But..." Jiang Yubai didn't dare to look at him, his voice was so soft that he seemed to be asking himself, "But we haven't known each other for long..."

Lu Jinyan smiled bitterly: "I feel more sorry than anyone else for meeting you so late. But what can I do? I can only work harder than everyone else."

When he realized that he fell in love with Xiaobai, he struggled with one question every day and night——

If he had met Xiaobai first, would he have become Xiaobai's boyfriend long ago?

But this is an unsolvable problem. He doesn't have a time machine, and he doesn't have any arbitrary door. The only thing he can do is to grasp every second from this moment.

Lu Jinyan turned around and walked in front of Jiang Yubai, looking straight into those beautiful eyes like glass balls: "Jiang Yubai, I don't like you because I like everything about you, but because I like you, then I will like everything about you."

"So give me a chance to prove that I really like you, okay?"

Jiang Yubai was forced to look into his dark eyes full of affection, and lost his ability to express himself for a while: "I..."

Lu Jinyan asked again with a solemn tone and pleading tone: "Jiang Yubai, are you willing to give me the chance to like you, understand you, and pursue you?"
