four year itch

This time the signing and sale of W agency is considered to be thoughtful, and a huge poster was pulled directly on the first floor. The logo of W agency was used as a base, with Xu Ruibai's photo and the cover of the new work printed on it, and of course there was a large piece of Xixi. layout.

When Xu Ruibai arrived, there were already two long queues at the signing point. Some of them were fans of Xixi, some were readers of Xu Ruibai, and of course a large part of them were attracted by the gimmick of "new handsome painter". This is Xu Ruibai It was the first time to appear in public, and the marketing done by W Agency also whetted everyone's appetite.

Ye Jia mixed with the crowd with four books in his arms, only one was his own, and the other three were going to be sent to different places. They were all fans who couldn't be there, so he entrusted the important task of autographing to him.

When it was Ye Jia's turn, it was already half an hour later.

Xu Ruibai looked up and saw him, his expression relaxed a little, and he flicked the pen in his hand a little bit. He was a little tired after half an hour of continuous signing and drawing the villain.

"Why did you buy so many books?" Xu Ruibai took the book in his hand.

"One is mine, and the others are for the fans in the group." Ye Jia told the truth obediently.

"Well, which one is yours?"

"It will be all right."

Xu Ruibai smiled at him with gentle eyes, and took out a copy: "Then this is for you."

"Yeah!" Ye Jia bent down, watching Xu Ruibai draw his name on the inner page in one go, and drew two stick figures on one side, one can be seen that one is Ye Jia, and the other is Xu Ruibai himself.

It was completed in less than 30 seconds, but it was full of cuteness, and the bulging little face was full of charm. Xu Ruibai even drew an angry sign on Xiaoyejia's face, as if apologizing for being late in the morning.Finally, the elegant font: TO Xiaojia.

Yes, Xu Ruibai wrote about Xiao Jia, not his screen name, Ah Cha.

Even though there was only such a small difference, Ye Jia's heart beat uncontrollably.

Xu Ruibai didn't put so much effort in the next three books, but he also asked Ye Jia one by one who he would give these books to, wrote their names, and drew stick figures of the characters in the comics for them.

"There are quite a lot of people." Xu Ruibai chatted with him while painting.

"Well, are your hands... tired?" Ye Jia bent over and said softly, the venue was too noisy, he had to do this to ensure that Xu Ruibai could hear him.

Xu Ruibai paused, made a wrong stroke, and quickly corrected it.

——What does his pheromone taste like?

——The smell just now seems to be quite pleasant.

"Well, it's been a long time since I wrote it."

"It's hard work." Ye Jia felt a little distressed.

"It's okay." Xu Ruibai handed the book to Ye Jia, raised his eyes and smiled, "You can go around later, I'll give you a message when I'm done."

"Yes." Ye Jia held the book and left the signing table satisfied.

This was Ye Jia's first visit to the comic exhibition, and the people around him wore slightly exaggerated makeup and wore all kinds of makeup.They are all young and beautiful, and no one here cares whether they are Alpha, Omega, or just Beta. Everyone only cares whether their makeup is consistent with the original work, and whether the characters they appear have restored the essence.

Ye Jia was still too young at that time, the little boy who was at a loss for the first time standing in the center of the comic exhibition, saw that there were still people in this world who could live in such a chic way, without caring about other people's eyes, and was amazed. In addition to his inferiority complex, he was deeply envious, and he was looking forward to stepping into this radiant world.

Xu Ruibai is the condensed body of this world, and because of Xu Ruibai he was able to get a glimpse of this world that does not belong to him.This kind of emotion was so strong that Ye Jia still remembered this tremor in his heart many years later.

Ye Jia wandered around the building and bought a few gadgets he liked. The time passed quickly, Xu Ruibai sent him a message asking him to go to the first floor, saying that he would take him to eat something.

Ye Jia ran down without any delay, and because he ran too fast, he almost overtook him, but was stopped by Xu Ruibai, who asked him with a smile where he was going.

Ye Jia smiled embarrassedly.

"Is there anywhere you want to go?" Xu Ruibai led Ye Jia out against the flow of people.

Ye Jia shook his head, a person who is not even familiar with subway lines, how could he know where to play.

"Two choices." Xu Ruibai stretched out two fingers, "One is that I will take you to dinner, and the other is that I will take you to my school."

"Go to your school!" Ye Jia replied almost without thinking, and only after he finished speaking did he realize that his reaction seemed too big.

Xu Ruibai hooked the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "Are you sure?"

"Is your school far from here?" Ye Jia calmed down and asked in a low voice.

"The distance is not a problem, but the cafeteria in our school is really horrible. Are you sure you want to eat?" Xu Ruibai asked for his opinion again.

"Want to go."

"Let's go." Xu Ruibai nodded, and walked to the place where the taxi was taken.

Xu Ruibai's school is not very close to the signing point, and the taxi took half an hour to arrive.In front of me is a building with a sense of design, with the words "G City Art University" written in large gilt characters at the door, which is very impressive.

Ye Jia followed behind Xu Ruibai.

The green day is long and the summer is long, and the crisp birdsong falls among the green grass leaves. The sun at noon is hot and sultry, but it also makes the slightly sweet fragrance of the plants more intense. In a broken shape, students in twos and threes came in and out from the door.Xu Ruibai's back is in front of his eyes, tall and thin, and the light and shadow of midsummer cast a lingering imprint on his body, like a deliberately elongated lens in a literary movie.

They walked silently under the shade of the tree, but Ye Jia heard his own fiery heartbeat.Like a cicada that has been dormant at the bottom of a tree for decades, it wants to die loud and clear in this thick green summer, and its noise will break through the thick air.

He knew that he shouldn't be moved, and he knew that he was already moved.

"Do you want to go to the cafeteria first? Or go to the school first?" Xu Ruibai suddenly turned around and asked him.

Caught off guard, their eyes met, Ye Jia hurriedly lowered his head.

"First... Let's take a look at the school first." Ye Jia whispered.

"Ah."

"Do you still have classes?" Ye Jia asked casually.

"There's no class. I'm busy with finishing the project recently."

"Have you thought about what to do?" Ye Jia asked with interest.

"I'm still discussing with my partner. He wants to make an animation, I want to make a 3D pop-up book, and I might also make an experience robot." Xu Ruibai said.

"Pop-up book? What kind of pop-up book?" Ye Jia asked again.

"I want to make a theme about loneliness, but it's just an idea for the time being."

"why?"

"The degree of difficulty is too high, and my partner disagrees."

Ye Jia smiled and tilted her head, looked into his eyes and asked, "Can you tell me?"

Xu Ruibai coughed lightly, avoiding Ye Jia's gaze: "There are eight different stories with the same theme, and the one that is relatively complete now is the first story "Room""

"Hmm... Hearing this name, there will be a little boy with dim lights and a black silhouette in his mind."

"Yes, as soon as the title page is opened, there is only one lamp and a silhouette. This story is the best to draw. But now I want to make the whole book into a hollow shape, which is a bit like a relief." Xu Ruibai's tone I finally had some emotions, my eyes sparkled, and my whole person became vivid, "Each story is an independent page, but each page together is a complete painting."

"Everyone's loneliness is different, but they are all lonely. Is this what you mean?" Ye Jia asked cautiously.

Seeing the surprise flashing in Xu Ruibai's eyes, Ye Jia heaved a sigh of relief, today he was full of embarrassing politeness, but at this moment they seem to have resumed their intimate relationship online.

Xu Ruibai was still Xu Ruibai, even if he had some irrelevant shortcomings, but as long as he talked about these topics, he would become the Xu Ruibai whom Ye Jia admired the most.

"Ruibai?" The voice came from behind, Ye Jia and Xu Ruibai subconsciously looked back.A thin young man in white was walking through layers of sunlight from the other side of the teaching building.

If Ye Jia could remember to look at Xu Ruibai's expression at this time, he might see a trace of imperceptible panic on Xu Ruibai's face.

But he didn't, he only saw Xu Ruibai stretched out his hand and waved at the man, saying, "Yu Yi."

The boy named Yu Yi walked in front of them: "Didn't you go to sign the sale? Why are you back?"

Ye Jia could see his appearance clearly, with brown curly hair, two dimples hanging on his baby-fat face, and if he looked carefully, he could also see the looming small canine teeth.Even though it was such a vicious day, he didn't sweat at all, and he could even smell the refreshing strawberry smell, as if this midsummer had nothing to do with him.

Ye Jia shook his sweaty palms, pulled the shirt on his back slightly, and took a step back cautiously and embarrassingly.

"It's over at three o'clock. I'll bring Ye Jia to visit our school."

Yu turned to one side to look at Ye Jia, and asked Xu Ruibai, "Is this your little fan?"

Xu Ruibai nodded.

Yu Yi smiled and waved to him, "Hello, my name is Yu Yi, I'm a Beta~"

"Hello." Ye Jia replied softly.

After saying hello, Yu Yi continued to ask Xu Ruibai: "Didn't you say that you are going to eat?"

"Ye Jia wants to take a look at our school." Xu Ruibai replied patiently.

"Then you can take him to our showroom!" Yu Yi enthusiastically suggested.

"Okay, I'll introduce your masterpiece to him." Xu Ruibai reluctantly agreed.

Yu Yi winked mischievously: "Then are you still going to eat?"

"Not going, eat at our school."

"Our school?" Yu Yi looked at Ye Jia incredulously, "Wow, the cafeteria in our school is so unpalatable. I saw banana chicken in the cafeteria at noon today!"

Ye Jia was amused by his expression, covered her mouth and shook her shoulders: "It's okay, it sounds interesting."

"Okay..." Yu Yi pursed his lips, and said lazily, "I still want to have a meal, so you go play~ I want to go back to the dormitory to sleep."

Xu Ruibai patted his head: "I'll take you to eat tomorrow."

"Oh, then I'll go first~ You guys have fun." Yu Yi waved to them with a smile, and walked towards the dormitory building.

"Let's go." Xu Ruibai withdrew his gaze, with that indifferent look again.

"Is he... your classmate?" Ye Jia asked with a hint of luck as their intimacy flashed through his mind.

"Partner." Xu Ruibai's tone was flat.

Ye Jia confirmed that he was talking about a partner, not a lover.

Partner, can you do such an intimate gesture?

"Is that the partner you just said you want to be Bi She with?"

"Ah."

"What is the exhibition?"

Xu Ruibai smiled, and said in a helpless tone, "It's an assignment for a class. If you do it well, it can be selected for an exhibition. I can't wait for you to praise him."

Ye Jia also responded with a smile, and said with unknown emotion: "Very cute."

Xu Ruibai didn't answer, and walked straight forward.

Ye Jia suddenly felt sour. They still had a lot of tomorrows and a lot of time to get along day and night, but he was leaving tomorrow.

He is just a little fan who occasionally peeks into their lives.
