I bend when you confess

Duan Yao got off the plane and got on the car again.

Assistant Chen sat in the co-pilot and chatted with the taxi driver, while he lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.Turn on the screen, turn it off, and turn it on again.

The mobile phone has just been turned on, with 60.00% of the battery remaining, the screen is clean, and there is no message.The screensaver is a hand-painted back view. A boy in a white shirt is standing under a big green tree. The blooming rose beside him covers most of his body. Light and shadow, strong and bright colors, are the splendor that Duan Yao loves most.

This is the picture of Duan Yao falling in love with Xiao Yingyue at first sight. In order not to make people think too much, he deliberately searched for tutorials on the Internet. After studying for a long time, he converted this picture into a scene from an anime novel. Hand drawing.

Duan Yao stared at Xiao Yingyue's back without any expression on his face.Suddenly the phone vibrated, and a message came in!

He hurriedly entered the password, but when the screen turned on, the anticipation in his black and white eyes disappeared, and he was a little disappointed.

It's Weijing.

Pharos: are you there?

Duan Shaoxia: You must be stuck on time, right? !I just got off the plane!

Duan Shaoxia: In the car, there is still more than an hour.

Pharos: Alright, squint for a while, don’t stare at your phone and get motion sickness again, squeamish

Pharos: settle down and give me a call

Duan Yao returned his silently raised middle finger.Motion sickness or something, it's a physical problem, and it's not something he can control, okay?Is there any end to the nickname of "Squeamish Bao" since she was a child?

But the complaints are the complaints, staring at the screen for so long, and not eating much at noon so that the stomach is empty, it is really not very good at the moment.The best friend's joke made Duan Yao feel better, he breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to follow Wei Jing's advice.

Duan Yao put the phone back in his pocket, turned his head to look at the strange street outside the window.

City N, a small city south of the Yangtze River, is his ancestral home.

Duan Yao has never been here before. He grew up in the imperial capital and traveled to many places at home and abroad, but here, he has no impression at all.It wasn't until Duan Zhuosong arranged for him to transfer to this school this time that he dug out from his memory a little bit of what his grandfather mentioned when he was a child.

It is said that the old man of the Duan family went out from a small town under this small city. Later, he settled down in the imperial capital. After that, he took the old lady back to the town to spend his old age peacefully.People of their generation paid attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots.It was not until later that it was passed on to his great-grandfather, who, considering that his son was born weak and unable to travel long distances, moved them all to the imperial capital, and has hardly ever returned since then.

-

Stomach churning, Duan Yao leaned against the car window, closed his eyes and frowned.Their destination is Yijiang District, N City, which was originally a small town, but it is famous both inside and outside the province because of the success of several college entrance examination champions in recent years, so the leader of N City simply waved the town to the city separate area.

There is still about an hour's journey, and Duan Yao thinks that he probably... can last a while, as long as he can fall asleep.

It's just that reality didn't give him this chance.

When the car made a big turn, Duan Yao suddenly tilted his body, and he couldn't control his breath. The unpleasant air-conditioning smell in the car mixed with the smell of low-quality cigarettes immediately poured into his nose. Duan Yao retched, raised his hand and patted front seat.

"Open the window, hurry up!"

The driver was taken aback by this sudden movement, and retorted subconsciously: "The air conditioner is on in the car, and the windows are open..."

"What the hell are you talking nonsense! Drive fast! Otherwise, I'll spit on your car!"

Duan Yao interrupted irritably, spit out this sentence quickly and then hurriedly held his breath.

"Master, open the window!" Assistant Chen, who was frightened by Duan Yao's face, hurriedly urged, unscrewed the mineral water with one hand, and handed it over, "Yaoyao, are you okay? Drink some water, do you want to stop for a rest?"

The hot air rushed into the car with scorching heat, and at the same time, it also blew away the entrenched smell in the car. Duan Yao leaned against the back of the chair and panted heavily, breathing in the hot air quickly. After all, he calmed down, and his face obviously gradually faded away. better.

Duan Yao waved his hand, rejected Assistant Chen's advice, and leaned against the car window with his eyes closed, letting the wind bring fresh breath.Before he knew it, he fell asleep.

When he woke up, the car had already stopped at the school gate.The driver was unloading the luggage at the back, and Assistant Chen was standing outside the car talking to a middle-aged man with glasses and a bald Mediterranean appearance.After listening to a few words, Duan Yao probably understood that this person was the one who arranged for him to transfer to another school.

Duan Yao got out of the car, patted his head casually, and tossed that out of shape hair that was blown by the wind even more so that he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

"All the formalities have been completed, and the dormitory has been confirmed to get the key, so just go there now."

Mediterranean Sea led the way and introduced the school at the same time.Assistant Chen dragged his luggage and talked with him, while Duan Yao walked aside with his hands on his pillow.Next to the Mediterranean Sea, it talked about the strength of the teachers and the learning environment, and praised the school so much.

However, Duan Yao frowned all the way.

The dilapidated black iron gate that has already revealed the rust color, the mottled statues that have been eroded by the years, the ivy climbing the sprawling walls, the sand and gravel playground where the weeds are almost leg high...

Duan Yao took a photo and sent it to Wei Jing, and got a reply of "Yes, the retro style is suitable for you, a literary youth like you", Duan Yao ignored him with a dark face.

"Go this way, pass the passage and you will arrive at the new campus. This is the living area first, the dormitory is here, and then the new teaching building..."

The dark passage is in the shape of a V with a flat bottom, going downhill and then uphill. There are no lights on, only two small windows with a width of half a meter are opened on each side, letting in a little bit of light.If you are not careful, you will fall easily.Duan Yao's brows furrowed even tighter, until he walked out of the passage, Duan Yao finally relaxed a little.

The newly completed dark gray dormitory buildings and brick-red teaching buildings stand here and there, with the incomparable bright colors and clean windows of the old campus.

Hai Di originally wanted to follow them into the dormitory, implying that there was a banquet in the evening, but was declined by Assistant Chen.

Assistant Chen directly led Duan Yao into the boys' dormitory.

The dormitory buildings stand alone and are not enclosed into a dormitory area. There are large iron gates at the entrance of each building on the first floor, and the dormitory management's room is next to it.

There are seven floors in total. After going up the stairs, there is a straight corridor. The small rooms facing each other on both sides of the corridor are the students' residences. When the doors on both sides are closed, the entire corridor is suddenly dark and cramped.

Duan Yao frowned, obviously dissatisfied.He likes places with bright colors.

Assistant Chen probably has very good eyesight, and he can use his sense of speech to the extreme in such a dim place.He took out the key to open the door while persuading.

"Yaoyao, I know you feel uncomfortable. From the pampered young master to the current dormitory student who has no conditions, the gap is indeed a bit big, and it is normal to be uncomfortable. Don't worry about it, you should adapt to college life in advance. You also need to live in the same way, and it’s the same in the dormitory.”

Duan Yao didn't answer, and followed into the dormitory.

Indeed, as Assistant Chen said, the dormitory here is no different from that in a general university. There are four people in one room, with bed and desk, and there is a toilet, bathroom and sink on the balcony. Except that the wooden desks and cabinets are a bit old, they can still be seen.

Duan Yao breathed a sigh of relief. When he was walking outside, he was still worried about whether it was really the room of eight people and ten people in Wei Jing's words. Fortunately, it was not.

There are three tables with personal items on them, one is clean, the other is a mess, and the other is a little messy, all of them are covered with a layer of dust, probably because the school hasn't started yet and the students haven't arrived yet. .

There is a place next to the door, and there are a few cardboard boxes next to it, which are things sent by the family some time ago.One box is clothes, and the other box is books. Duan Yao can recognize it after sorting it out by himself, but he doesn't know what the other box is.

Assistant Chen twisted the towel and wiped the bed table aside, while Duan Yao took out a knife and sat on the stool to open the box.

The tape had just been cut halfway, and the seals at both ends hadn't been moved, when he heard Assistant Chen persuade again: "Don't blame President Duan and Mrs. Duan for being unfeeling, they are also for your own good! You are usually at home, you know what they work overtime every day?" Sometimes, holidays don’t necessarily have time to rest. Who is it for? Isn’t it for you? You are young now and don’t understand anything. Love and love are still play games. Listen to uncle, don’t be angry with your parents Alright, I'll make a phone call later and go back to admit my mistake..."

When Duan Yao was annoyed, his hands lost the tricks, and he almost tore the box to pieces.

"Take it easy, ancestor! How can you sleep if the quilt is scratched? This place is not an imperial capital, and the food, clothing, housing, and transportation are not as refined as you used to be. Madam is afraid that you will not be used to living here, so she packed up your frequently used things and brought them here!"

Duan Yao casually rummaged through the inside of the big box. A bed, a winter quilt, an air conditioner, a pillow, and the pillows he used to sleep on his stomach on weekdays were all put in.

This is definitely not his|mom's cleaning up, Ms. Wu is so shrewd and thoughtful, she definitely will not send a bed sheet suitable for his two-meter-large bed without considering the size of the dormitory bed, probably by ordering the servant did, and didn't check afterwards.

Duan Yao was a little worried. He thought that when he was in kindergarten, he would rest at school at noon. Ms. Wu was afraid that he would not be used to it, so she specially packed up all kinds of commonly used things for him to bring to school, but the school did not allow him to bring his own , only those issued uniformly are allowed.Although the things in the kindergarten are not bad, they are not as good as the ones carefully selected by Ms. Wu.Ms. Wu was worried about her son, and regardless of his family's poor financial situation at the time, she directly waved her hand and gave the kindergarten a large amount of sponsorship, and replaced all the small things that needed to be used with Duan Yao's favorite brand.

I don't know when, this posture of pampering the sky gradually faded away, Duan Yao fell all the way from the cloud palace set up for him by his parents, until finally, he landed on the ground and could no longer see him. Those two figures in the clouds.

Assistant Chen was still chanting words like "President Duan's wife is for your own good". Duan Yao was so annoyed that he kicked open the box and slammed the door out, leaving Assistant Chen standing there with a rag. It took a while to catch up.

"Where are you going, Yaoyao? We have to meet the class teacher later..."

"Walk around, go to yourself!"

Duan Yao put down a word and ran out of the dormitory.

When he came here earlier, he fell asleep in the car and didn't notice the situation in Yijiang District. It wasn't until he ran out now that he realized how backward this place is!

Leaving aside the surroundings of the school that can be seen with eyes, Duan Yao only saw the true face of Yijiang after walking through the crossroads.

On both sides of the street are three or four-storey small buildings, the walls are not painted, the blue bricks are directly exposed|exposed, and the filled cement spreads across the walls, like an ugly monster.On the first floor, facing the street, there are old wooden doors that can only be seen in the Republic of China or costume dramas. Some of them are used as halls. There are old people sitting together and talking in dialect, and children are walking around.Others are open for business, grocery stores, barber shops, fresh milk shops, boutiques, and many greasy black restaurants...

Duan Yao felt disgusted in his stomach, turned his face away, and walked quickly across the street without seeing Wei Jing. He had no time to look at the road, he was in a hurry, and almost tripped over the blank or protruding six-sided colored bricks on the road.

He didn't know the way, so he chose a direction at random, and walked east and west all the way, but he didn't realize that he came to the riverside.

This is probably the Yijiang River.

At a glance, Jiangbian knew that it had been planned and built, and it was not a little bit better than what I had seen before.

The white guardrail is built high, and there are straight steps to walk up. The slope above the ground is paved with turf, and there are short bushes in three or five steps.

There are children who are brought to play by the river while the heat fades away, there are vendors selling snacks at small stalls, there are teenagers walking back and forth on skateboards, and there are little brothers with drawing boards for portraits...

It was the evening scene, the warm orange sunset fell on the river, reflecting a piece of sparkling light. In the tall tower not far away, the wind blowing through the corner of the eaves and the bells ringing crisply, echoing the plain but lively scene by the river. The breath really has a bit of the artistic conception of Jiangnan water town.

Duan Yao calmed down unconsciously, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number he had been waiting for all day.Duan Yao felt relieved when he pressed the dial button with his finger.Xiao Yingyue was a straight man, but he was stalking him and beat him up. In the end, he owed him something, so it's not an exaggeration to pamper him a little bit more.

Duan Yao sat by the marble flower bed, watched the little brother in front of him earnestly give a portrait, and waited for the phone to be connected.

"Ah Yao! Are you here? I've been waiting for your call for a long time!"

A familiar voice came from the handset, and the rare excitement made Duan Yao's mood brighter in an instant.

"You know you miss me? You know you can't contact me first when I call you?"

Qi Fen pretended to be [-] Fen and really complained, Duan Yao raised his head, just in time to see the little brother who painted the painting look back.Duan Yao subdued his voice for three minutes.

"I don't know who laughs at me for not being reserved every time?"

Duan Yao laughed in a low voice, he could imagine his little boyfriend on the other end of the phone raising his brows and looking irritatingly arrogant.

"Am I joking? Why are boys so reserved? So remember to contact me, otherwise..."

Duan Yao replied, and the three-pointed unhappiness faded away. He and Xiao Yingyue once again emphasized the countless chapters of the long-distance relationship in the middle of the night, and then turned to other things.

They talked on the phone for more than half an hour, until Xiao Yingyue said that it was time for him to eat, and the two reluctantly ended the line.

Five or six o'clock in summer is indeed the time for dinner.

The sun has not completely set, but the tourists around the river bank are basically walking back in twos and threes, the hawkers packed up their goods and left, and the boy on a skateboard quickly disappeared at the corner of the street, only the little brother in the portrait did not Action, he has no guests now, he is laying down a piece of paper on the drawing board, and drawing seriously.

Duan Yao's mood warmed up, and his curiosity naturally returned.He leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

This person is so serious that he is drawing a cartoon villain with three heads!

"Brother, do you still draw? Give me one?"

Once the painting is finished, frame it and send it back to his Xiao Xiao to hang on the bedside!Duan Yao ignores reality and dreams.

The little brother nodded, and raised his chin to let Duan Yao sit down.

There was a wooden chair with a backrest beside the stone railing three or five steps away, and the others were sitting upright, but Duan Yao turned the chair upside down and sat on it with one foot, resting his chin on the back of the chair lazily. Out of shape.

"that's it!"

The little brother didn't speak, but his movements were not slow.

Duan Yao thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to Xiao Yingyue.

Duan Shaoxia: We must put photos in every corner of our home in the future, so that I can see you anytime and anywhere.

He lowered his head, imagining the scene, and the corners of his lips raised uncontrollably.However, Xiao Yingyue went to eat and couldn't reply him in time.

Duan Yao put away his mobile phone, and raised his eyes to stare at the little brother when he had nothing to do.

The little brother has a very recognizable handsome face. He lowers his head and draws with a serious expression. His lips are a little thin and white, and there is a sharp arc when he sips.

Duan Yao was observing, and suddenly met the eyes of the little brother who raised his head, and he smiled at him without any guilt.

As a gay, looking at handsome guys is as instinctive as a heterosexual looking at beautiful women.

Halfway through the portrait, when Duan Yao was about to fall asleep, the explosive cell phone rang, scaring Duan Yao so much that he nearly kicked his chair over.

"Yao Yao, where are you?"

"The company is in a hurry, I have to go back immediately, come back quickly, I have something for you!"

"Your previous card was frozen by your father. From now on, you will be paid a fixed monthly living allowance to the new card. The card is still with me."

Fuck!

Duan Yao stood up suddenly, paid the money and ran back and forth, not even painting!

Qi Shi took a green [-], but when he wanted to change the money, he found that the person had already run away. He thought for a while, and came to the conclusion that he would not go back.This person looks very good. If he is in No. [-] Middle School, he must have a place on the list of good looks at the top of the school's post bar. However, he has never seen him.That probably can only be the students of No. [-] Middle School.

Qi Shi clipped the unfinished painting into the sketch, packed the drawing board and planned to go home, but heard a rush of footsteps.He turned his head and saw the man braking in front of him just now.

"Brother, do you know how to get to No. [-] Middle School?"

Qi Shi was silent.He took out three ten-yuan bills from his wallet and stuffed them into his hand, before showing the way.

"Go through that road, go straight, turn right at the intersection, and go straight again."

"21 portraits, looking for you."

Duan Yao took the money and threw it into his pocket casually, then took out his mobile phone, with a sincere expression,

"Brother, can you say it again? I'll record it."

The author has something to say:

After a long time, Duan Yao suddenly remembered this chance encounter. He didn’t know where the self-confidence came from, and he always felt that the painting was of him. He threatened and lured the stalker and insisted on electronically depositing the manuscript, but he regretted it very much——

He absolutely does not admit that it is him who is holding the mobile phone and looking like an idiot!

Qi Shi: Don't struggle, this is my first impression of you

Duan Yao rolled up his sleeves: Let's fight!
