"Chengcheng, I think you're losing more than you gain."

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them came out of the school doctor's office, and they walked to the teaching building together because they had a class meeting at the beginning of school.

Xia Xingcheng turned his hand wrapped in gauze, his eyelids slightly closed to hide his emotions: "I think so too."

"The fire was so big that day, and the situation was really critical. I think he might have really panicked when he acted like that." Jiang Chengyun thought of how they were both sent to the ambulance when he rushed over. Xia Xingcheng was already in a coma, but Xia Xingcheng Xing Che was not much better, and he had been treated for a long time for the burn on his back: "It is impossible for him to set fire to the studio."

"Stop talking."

Jiang Chengyun shrugged: "Okay, then don't talk about it, I will take you to the classroom."

"Ah."

There are seven or eight buildings at the front and back of the teaching building, which look like an H-shape when connected together, and it is precisely because of this that they are confused.Xia Xingcheng was already confused, and looked at Jiang Chengyun speechlessly who promised to take him to the classroom.

"Haven't you been in school for two months? Why can't you even find the classroom?"

Jiang Chengyun: "...Mistake made a mistake, it should be soon." He looked up at the classroom door number: "Your classroom is 301, right?"

"Ah."

"The one in front should be there, let's go." Jiang Chengyun rushed over first, but immediately stopped the car when he rushed to the door of the classroom in front.

Xia Xingcheng looked like he knew it all: "Then it's not this building."

"Let's go..." Jiang Chengyun immediately turned around when he saw what was inside, and he reached out his long arm to bring Xia Xingcheng back: "Don't look, it's not this building."

Xia Xingcheng looked at him strangely: "Why, is there anything inside?"

"no!"

Xia Xingcheng was a little curious by Jiang Chengyun's appearance, he pushed Jiang Chengyun's hand away to take a look: "You must have something, I'll take a look."

This door is the back door of the classroom. When he walked to the door, he immediately understood why Jiang Chengyun didn't let him come in, because he was afraid that he would be hurt by the scene.

This classroom is obviously the studio of art students. The door is locked, but the curtains are not drawn. There are exquisite and beautiful oil paintings on the easels inside. It looks like they should be homework. Rows of them look like oil paintings exhibition.

The hand wrapped in gauze was lightly placed on the window, and the fingertips touched the cool glass as if they were drawing something.

The afternoon sun fell into the corridor, and the shadows of the two were elongated under the shroud of the sun, and the hand on the window was reflected on the floor and outlined by the sun, as if with a halo.

"That's great," he sighed.

Jiang Chengyun heard the strangeness in Xia Xingcheng's voice, and his eyes fell on the bandaged hand against the window, and he saw the exposed fingers curled up slightly, as if they were sketching something, the hopeful but unattainable feeling conveyed from the fingertips , very strong.

Just when Xia Xingcheng was still sad, a hand suddenly covered his eyelids, and his vision immediately dimmed.

"Xia Xingcheng, we're just not strong enough, but it doesn't mean that we lost everything because of a temporary compromise. We got everything back by ourselves. Only if you give up, otherwise there is nothing you can't get."

"Ok, I know."

Jiang Chengyun felt the numb eyelashes fluttering in his palm, and he was still a little wet, and hugged Xia Xingcheng behind him with distress: "Don't give up, at worst, I will give you all the money I win in the next competition, and then you go buy painting tools and paint again." painting."

"I know." Xia Xingcheng pulled his hand down and turned his head to smile at him, "I know what I want to do, I won't give up, and I won't be afraid."

Seeing his red eyes, Jiang Chengyun turned his face away and laughed out loud: "You really are, if you turn red eyes at Xia Xingche casually, I guarantee that he will squat on the floor and beat you at will."

"Why do you never leave him in ten words and nine words?"

The two walked to another building.

After groping in the teaching building for a while, I realized that each building has its own ABCDE. The two separated after finding their respective buildings. This time he quickly found his own classroom. There were few people, so he went straight to the last row of the classroom and sat down.

Because of the dilapidated dormitory that Xia Xingche arranged for him, he had no chance to have roommates with his classmates, so he could only sit alone.

But as soon as he sat down, he saw a few girls in the front row turn their heads.

"Hey, what's your name?" The girl with fluttering hair sitting right in front of him asked with a smile.

"Xia Xingcheng, what about you?" He was a little secretly happy, alas, there are still some classmates who will look for him.

The girl with fluttering hair picked up her phone and put it in front of him: "My name is Liang Ziqi, add a WeChat."

"My name is Huang Wenshan."

"My name is Cheng Xiao."

Beside Liang Ziqi, there are two cute girls who are rather shy, and they are embarrassed to add WeChat after they each mentioned their names.

Xia Xingcheng smiled at them and took out his mobile phone: "Let's all add a WeChat account, we are all classmates, and we can help each other in need."

Well, his charm is still the same as before.

"Yo, buddy, it's ok. As soon as school starts, girls in the class will be added."

A handsome boy walked up to him and sat down beside him. His black earrings were very eye-catching.

"They're all classmates." Xia Xingcheng's eyes fell on the boy's earrings, wow, they're so trendy.

Is he right?

"My name is Luo Xi." Luo Xi sat down and glanced at Xia Xingcheng's hand: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Luo Xi's words attracted the attention of the three girls.

"Oh, it's okay, I just accidentally punched through the wardrobe door." Xia Xingcheng turned his wrist and smiled.

Luo Xi looked at him in surprise: "Piercing through the wardrobe? Although the quality of the wardrobe in the dormitory is indeed average, it is not so easy to penetrate, right? Who is your roommate, and there is a conflict?" He thought for a while in doubt : "No, there are only four male dormitories in our class. I didn't see you. Where are you?"

"Building F 408, aren't you in this building?"

"Isn't Building F a double room? We are a quadruple room in Building B. Do you live in a double room?"

Xia Xingcheng: "..." That hot chick Xia Xingche, if you don't have a good relationship with your classmates, you can rely on him!He smiled at them awkwardly: "I don't know, it's a double room as soon as I come in."

"By the way, you have the same name as Senior Brother Xia, the class assistant in our class!" Cheng Xiao seemed to think of something and said a little embarrassedly: "Have you seen Senior Brother Xia? It's the very tall and super handsome Senior Brother Xia. "

Xia Xingcheng pretended to be ignorant and asked in doubt: "Huh? Who is it? I haven't seen it before. Is it similar to my name?"

He didn't want to have anything to do with Xia Xingche, otherwise this university would be difficult.

"Hello, brother and sister!"

At this moment, there was a commotion in the class.

Xia Xingche and Zhou Ying walked in.

Liang Ziqi excitedly grabbed Cheng Xiao who was beside her: "See, Senior Brother Xia is really handsome!"

"I heard that he is a master of the finance department. Not only is he the first in scholarship every semester, but he has many financial projects in his junior year and has made a lot of money."

"Where did you know that?"

"School Posting Bar, Senior Brother Xia's post is very popular, he is a man of great influence, the point is that he is not yet 18 years old! He is a genius!"

"Really, I'm not 18 yet?! I'm already 19... I'm getting old."

There were more and more whispering voices beside his ears, Xia Xingcheng felt that it might be really difficult for him to escape from the place where Xia Xingche was, as if he might not be able to escape no matter where he went.

Xia Xingche is a genius, and he is also an obedient genius. He walks smoothly, as if everything is taken for granted, and he never expresses his love. Anyway, he is very good at whatever he does.

In contrast, he is an ignorant child who only likes to draw and doesn't like to study. He often skips classes and does everything wrong.

In the Xia family, there is no such thing as chasing dreams. They were born to manage the entire Xia family's huge group, so they can only keep learning things related to management. In Xia Shangzhe's eyes, art is just useless.

As a result, he also became worthless, especially compared to Xia Xingche, he was really worthless.

It's so bad that I still have to listen to such things here now. Don't be so bad.

"Hello students, I am Zhou Ying from Class [-] of the Finance Department of the sophomore year. The person next to me is your brother Xia Xingche. I don't need to introduce you. You can search the official accounts on Tieba, which is more likely than what I introduced. It’s much more detailed. Today’s class meeting is mainly to tell everyone about tomorrow’s military training, and the rest of the class will wait until the military training is over before organizing the class meeting...”

There were two people standing on the podium. It was Zhou Ying who was always talking, while Xia Xingche beside him stood silently, but it was like a painting, not awkward without speaking, it was pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, pretending..." Xia Xingcheng curled his lips and complained, who is standing there for? Really, what are you doing standing on top without talking.

Looking down at the message from Wei Lu:

—Have you talked with your roommate?You can't conflict with others and don't hold back your sadness.

He smiled and replied quickly:

——Got it, worrying mother.

Wei Lu replied in seconds:

——I want a video later, I have to see if you are still crying.

He was very moved when he saw the words sent by Lu Wei, and it really was Lu Wei who cared about him.

——Let’s watch it when I get home, I’m not a child anymore and you don’t care if I cry or not.

When he finished sending this sentence, he looked at the word "going home" and suddenly felt a little bit of joy, as if he didn't know when it was that small courtyard that he called home.

Compared with the magnificent but cold and heartless home, this small yard of 500 yuan a month can make him feel like a family member.

Wei Lu is his family, he will pass by deliberately on the night of his first day at work, he won't say much when he is grabbing ice cream, and he will coax him when he is sad, even if he wants to rub the bed with shamelessness , Lu Wei will also openly find excuses for him to let him sleep in the room.

Is it really necessary to be miserable enough to meet such a good person as Lu Wei?

The phone vibrated again, and he looked at the content sent by Lu Wei.

——In my heart, you are the little guy who wants to hug all day long.

The smile on his lips couldn't be held back anymore.

"I'll find a classmate to repeat what Senior Sister Zhou Ying said." Right after Zhou Ying had finished speaking, Xia Xingche began to speak, and he looked at the people lying on the table in the last row: "Xia Xingcheng, repeat it."

The whole class fell silent.

Because they felt that Senior Brother Xia Xingche's face was so dark.

"Hey, Xia Xingcheng." Luo Xi touched Xia Xingcheng's arm beside him and whispered, "Senior brother is calling you."

Xia Xingcheng raised his head, met Xia Xingche's displeased face on the podium, stood up casually, and said with a smile:

"What are you calling me for?"

"Repeat what Senior Sister Zhou Ying said just now."

"I didn't listen."

Everyone is surprised that this guy is so courageous that he will follow his followers to the bar on the first day?

Xia Xingche asked lightly, "Why didn't you listen?" His gaze fell on Xia Xingcheng's hand, and he became quiet when he saw that it had been bandaged.

Xia Xingcheng leaned on the back of the chair, nodded as if agreeing with his statement, and then looked at Zhou Ying: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I caused you trouble, it's really my fault that I didn't listen to what you said."

Zhou Ying never thought that Xia Xingche would call names directly. After all, it is normal to play with mobile phones. Many people are playing with them.

She smiled and said: "It's okay, pay attention next time, your brother Xia is stricter."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Xia Xingcheng bowed to Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying: "..." These two brothers are enemies.

Glancing at Xia Xingche beside her, she quickly clapped her hands: "Now go get your military uniform with me, take it back and wash it, remember to gather at the playground at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, no lateness allowed."

When the students heard what the senior sister said, they all got up and left the classroom, as if they were escaping the embarrassment of the atmosphere just now.

Xia Xingcheng snorted and was speechless, straightened up and wanted to leave the classroom.

"Wow, brother, you are too arrogant." Luo Xi followed up and put his shoulders on his shoulders: "He is a senior brother after all, please show me some face."

"Then why doesn't he know how to save face for me? So many people are playing with their mobile phones and calling me on purpose." Xia Xingcheng wanted to hit someone when he thought of it, he raised his bandaged left hand: "Did you see that you messed with me?" I would definitely punch him unceremoniously."

"By the way, who do you share the dormitory with?" Luo Xi looked at his injured hand: "Is it because you got injured in a fight with that roommate of yours?"

Xia Xingcheng: "...didn't fight him."

Speaking of this, he feels aggrieved. He is afraid that he is stupid. He might hurt himself again. Next time, he must be careful not to hurt himself. When fighting with others, he must hurt others, so why always hurt himself.

Stupid.

"Xia Xingcheng."

A call came from behind.

Luo Xi looked back: "It's Senior Brother Xia."

He smiled politely at Xia Xingche, but his senior brother was too cold, so he just nodded at him and turned his head resentfully.

Xia Xingcheng didn't intend to turn his head, and chatted with Luo Xi next to him as if nothing had happened: "It's too hot today, where is your dormitory, Luo Xi, I'll go visit you, I don't know which psychopath made me follow my classmates Separate, it's not good for me to promote relationship, walk around, I'll visit your dormitory."

"Oh, okay." Seeing that Xia Xingcheng seemed to be ignoring the senior brother behind him, Luo Xi asked in a low voice, "Which senior brother calls you for not answering?"

"Let's buy something to eat and go to the dormitory. After all, it's the first day. Let's celebrate our meeting!" Xia Xingcheng also put on Luo Xi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go."

It seemed that Senior Brother Xia in his mouth was transparent, and he ignored everything he said.

Luo Xi seemed to sense something, but he didn't want to ask, so he followed Xia Xingcheng back to the dormitory.

Zhou Ying was right behind Xia Xingche, she hesitated for a while and said, "Senior Brother Xia, are you actually trying to get Xia Xingcheng's attention?"

The Xia Xingche she knew was definitely not a person who would name and criticize him for playing with his mobile phone, nor was he a person who was easily emotional. Just like his appearance, he was very cold and would not allow anyone to approach him.

But now Xia Xingche seems to be trying to get closer to Xia Xingcheng.

These two brothers have enmity, right?

Xia Xingche looked at the figure walking farther and farther in front of him until he could no longer see him. His eyelids drooped, "No matter what I do, it's useless."

He would only use clumsy ways to get close to Xia Xingcheng. Even if he didn't do anything, he could take it all on himself, just to prevent Xia Xingcheng from remembering the past in pain. He can bear the pain alone, Xia Xingcheng It should be free and not bound by everything.

But it seemed that it was different from what he thought, after all, he still hurt Xia Xingcheng inadvertently.

"But you are brothers, what can happen." Zhou Ying was a little puzzled.

"You don't understand." Xia Xingche finished speaking and walked downstairs.

Zhou Ying shrugged, well, she really doesn't understand.

Huangcheng Old Street——

After Lu Wei hung up the phone, his expression was very complicated. He was silent for a long time without speaking, and just kept looking at the screen of the phone screen that had been hung up, his mind was filled with Xia Xingcheng's suppressed crying.

Is it really because the clothes were thrown away by the roommate and cried like this?

This guy is like this again, he just laughs when he talks and laughs, but this is what makes him feel bad. He looks like a little sun every day. In fact, he is optimistic and fragile, warming him all day long but torturing himself.

"Lieutenant Lu?"

He didn't recover until the old man next to him spoke. He looked at Professor Huang and said, "Sorry."

Seeing him looking a little lost, Professor Huang joked: "The phone number of the object? I saw you coaxing for a long time, and it's rare for you to be so patient. Why are you making trouble with you?"

Lu Wei smiled: "It's good to be awkward." This guy is more tolerant than he imagined, and the same thing happened when he was fired last time, and it seems to be like this all the time.

The old man understood clearly and didn't talk further, after all, this is the young man's private matter.

A tea set was placed in the yard, and the two chatted and drank tea.

"Your engraving of the zodiac is very good. You said it's been a long time since you engraved a seal. It's really rare to see you holding a knife again. Have you figured it out?"

Lu Wei brewed good black tea and entertained the old man in front of him: "You also know that the nerves in my right hand have not recovered until now, and I carved them all with my left hand."

"No, no, in my opinion, your saber technique is the same with your left and right hands, but I think your left hand is stronger, and the carved zodiac signs are more imposing." The old man looked at the set of zodiac seal stones in the box. , just when he turned over a seal stone engraved with a dog, he was stunned: "You didn't engrave this, did you?"

The slightly immature lines carved on the Tianhuang stone are a bit agile. Although the lines are immature, it is the unique style of Lu Wei. The single-handedness that Lu Wei is good at is different from the ordinary single-handedness, with a very strong personality. Features, it is difficult to imitate, so this one...

"It was carved by my little guy." Lu Wei smiled: "It's okay."

Seeing Lu Wei, the old man smiled: "Who is this little guy who can make our Master Lu smile so happily, isn't he an ordinary little guy?" He joked: "Could it be the little guy in his heart? The one who called?"

Lu Wei poured the tea into the cup in front of the old man: "Yes."

But it's the little guy at heart.

Heart and mind, day and night.

The old man turned over the seal stone in his hand: "The engraving is not bad, how long have you been learning from you?"

"Two weeks."

The old man looked at Wei Lu in shock: "It's true, it seems that the talent can be carved like this in two weeks."

"It's at Haiqing University." Lu Wei took the seal stone from the old man's hand and put it back into the brocade box to cover it.

"So that's why you want to join the job as soon as possible? Is this kid in the art department?" The old man sipped his tea and asked with a smile.

"I don't know what department he is in." Speaking of this, Lu Wei felt a little annoyed, he didn't even ask Xia Xingcheng what department he was in: "But I see that he is very talented in art, maybe he is in the art department?"

But it's not like, this guy doesn't have any art tools, so he shouldn't be in the art department.

where is that

The more I think about it, the more I feel guilty for not sending him to school today.

"Anyway, I went to France to study this year, and you helped me with this year's classes. I was not very busy. I was responsible for leading a class of seal carving and oil painting for a class in the Department of Fine Arts, and an elective class for a freshman class in the Department of Finance. Appreciation of literature and art."

"Department of Finance?"

The old man nodded: "Elective, let these children feel the art, the class atmosphere is very relaxed."

Now Wei Lu is thinking about which department his Xia Xingcheng belongs to, but it doesn't matter which department he is in: "Well, I see, when can I go to school at the earliest?"

"Are you in a hurry?" The old man laughed loudly: "I'm curious which little guy can capture you as a wood. Image management has started, it's amazing."

Lu Wei lowered his head and coughed and said nothing, but his ears were red but revealed his mood.

"Probably in the middle of the month. You can go there after I finish the matter at hand. I won't be preparing for the National Day. I won't start classes until the National Day is over after the military training for freshmen. You should familiarize yourself with the textbooks for this matter. Of course, you can also follow your instructions. Accustomed to the teaching style, teaching materials are not absolute."

"Ah."

The sound of cicadas outside the yard is still loud and loud, this is the last wave of noise, and autumn is coming soon.

Lu Wei looked down at the WeChat interface with only one contact person, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously, wondering if Xia Xingcheng would be surprised when he knew he was a teacher.

Xia Xingcheng's shocked eyes widened in his mind.

That guy should be very good in class, I really want to see what he is like in class.

The little eyes that are thirsty for knowledge are flickering, it must be very cute.

I really want to go to school quickly.

His fingertips tapped on Xia Xingcheng's profile picture on WeChat, and the fingertips that rubbed the position of the profile picture seemed to be slightly hot. What does it mean that not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns? He would feel restless if he didn't see each other for a minute.

Wechat videos don't count, I really think about it.

Little did he know that the cutie that Lu Wei was talking about became the focus of the department's supervision in the next week.

During the military training, he beat the instructors to the ground, gathered people in the dormitory to play cards, and treated his brothers badly.

Not a cute student.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Lu Wei: The first day I didn't hug Chengcheng, I missed him.

---

See you tomorrow night at nine o'clock.

The weather is really bad recently. I have been repeatedly burned for several days, so the cuties must drink more water and eat less food to avoid heat.

I don't know if the system has sent out today's red envelopes. The big and small ones are randomly sent out. I'm afraid of randomness, so I will send out another wave today.

Pray for my cold to recover quickly, it has been half a month.
