tattered

It rained in Xie Lian's dream.

The rain was strange: it was coming hard, and the raindrops were so hot that they seemed to melt when touched.The crowd on the street fled in a hurry, but he had an umbrella in his hand, like a miracle.After he held up the umbrella, he subconsciously pulled Jiang Ye's wrist with his backhand, but he found that at some point, there was nothing behind him.

Jiang also!

Xie Lian woke up from the dream, feeling a slight chill on his face, as if the rain in the dream really fell into reality.He finally woke up completely, raised his head suddenly, and the person he couldn't find in his dream was actually standing in front of him at this moment.

"Xiao Ye, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the person in front of him hugged him directly, with a sob in his throat, and pressed his cheek firmly against his back.

Xie Lian was a little surprised.His brain, which has always been good at calculation, crashed at this moment, and it was difficult to sort out the situation in front of him. At this moment, he felt that his back seemed to be soaked in liquid.Reminiscent of the moisture on the face just now——

"Xiao Ye, are you crying?" He asked.

"No, no." Jiang also hurriedly stood up, and then quickly carried his body on his back.He was clearly wiping tears, his voice was soft and hoarse, but he still said bravely: "I didn't cry, you, you don't talk nonsense..."

Xie Lian stood up, wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, closed his eyes, and rolled his throat a few times to control his voice, "I'm sorry."

"Okay," Jiang Ye lowered his head, and said weakly, "I did cry, you, you don't need to apologize."

Xie Lian said, "It's not because of this."

Not because of this, but because of yesterday, and countless yesterdays.He had made so many excuses for himself, but none of them convinced him in the end, and when he really faced up to these days, he realized that he had hurt Jiang Ye too much.How can his dedication be so noble, it is nothing more than moving himself, and if it is necessary to talk about giving, then the young man who was clearly not familiar with him at that time, but smiled and grabbed him a handful of candy, wouldn't it be It's not that he is a thousand times stronger.

"I'm sorry." Xie Lian stepped his head deeply into Jiang Ye's shoulder.At this moment, those words that I tossed and turned late at night, as well as the reconciliation techniques I found on the Internet, were completely forgotten, "On Monday night at KTV, I shouldn't have said those things to you, it was too hurtful, but I knew that you would It’s hard, but I’m still...sorry, Xiaoye, not only this time, but earlier, I..."

Jiang also turned around in his arms, raised his head, and his bright and clean eyes completely accepted Xie Lian.

"Xie Lian, I'm so happy..."

There were still tears on that fair face, Xie Lian stretched out his hand, and wiped them away with his thumb almost lovingly. Suddenly, the other's hands covered his, and the crystal tears slipped down between the interlocking fingers, and it was unknown who fell into it. palm.

Jiang was also smiling. Although the circles of his eyes were still red, the smile in his eyes would never lie.He sniffed, and said: "Thank you for your willingness to apologize, and thank you for doing so much for me. ——I saw the business card of the studio."

"From now on, as long as it is what you say, I will do it."

"Xie Lian..."

Jiang also bit his lower lip, his face turned red.Xie Lian's eyes changed, the hand on his waist couldn't help tightening, and his breathing became disordered.Jiang also leaned forward, trying to grab Xie Lian's collar.

A sudden knock on the door disturbed the ambiguity in the room.

"The meal is ready, you two come out to eat."

Jiang also came to his senses in an instant, quickly let go of his hand, and turned his face so ashamed that he didn't dare to look at Xie Lian again.He casually hooked Xie Lian's palm with his little finger, and stammered, "It's, it's time to eat, let's go out."

this little guy...

"Okay." Xie Lian pulled him, and whispered beside the already red ear: "Continue after eating."

Finally, after the meal, Xie Lian did not drag Jiang Ye to "continue".

Xie Lian took Jiang Ye through the chemistry papers of this week quickly, because Jiang Ye's correct rate had improved a lot, and it didn't take too much time to sort out the wrong questions. The whole process was over in less than an hour and a half.

Jiang also closed the wrong question book, and asked tentatively, "Then I went home?"

"Don't worry." Xie Lian took out his mobile phone from the pile of test papers, turned his head to look at Jiang Ye, "What are the plans for the future?"

"It's okay..."

"Then come out with me." Xie Lian rubbed his head with a smile, "Wait, I'll go out and make a phone call."

After a while, Xie Lian opened the door and entered the room. He took out Jiang Ye's coat from the back of the chair, handed it over, and then found his own to put on.When both of them were dressed, Xie Lian briefly squeezed his hand, "Let's go."

The autumn afternoon was very pleasant, and Jiang Ye slightly squinted his eyes to feel the cool breeze blowing in front of him. For some reason, he felt that the wind today was full of sweetness.

Maybe it's because the surroundings are no longer empty.

With a smile on his lips, he turned his head to look at Xie Lian's profile, but was quickly caught.

"Peeping again." Xie Lian laughed, his good mood was self-evident, "I can't count how many times you peeked at me."

Jiang also hummed, "Who is watching you? I just want to ask you, where are we going now?"

"Just in time for the weekend, I'll take you to that studio."

Jiang Ye's eyes lit up instantly, but soon the light inside went out again.He pursed his lips, looking a little uneasy, "I haven't discussed this matter with my mother, would it be too good to go directly... and I heard that painting is very expensive, I..."

"It's okay, I'm just taking you to have a look. It's not about making a decision now." Xie Lian said, "It's too cruel to miss it without even having the chance to know what you like."

Jiang also blinked his eyes, and his heart gradually became clear, so he nodded firmly, and the smile appeared on his face again.

When he arrived at the studio, Jiang also saw some people sitting around in the hall. They were concentrating on the drawing board in front of them, and they were holding pencils to make shapes for the still life group.He approached a boy curiously, wanting to take a closer look, but was pulled away by Xie Lian in the next second.

"The students are all drawing," Ergou's relative, a middle-aged man wearing a white peaked cap, said to the two with a blank expression, "Come into my office and chat."

The man in the peaked cap compared the sofa and motioned for the two to sit down.

"To be honest, I don't really want to accept children who are only preparing for the art test in the second year of high school and have no foundation."

Jiang was also taken aback.

Before he could say anything, the voice of the peaked cap sounded again: "But I found it through the back door, and I will not refuse. And you..." He looked at Xie Lian meaningfully, "Young master of the Xie family, right? .I have to give you some face."

When Xie Lian heard the name "Xie's young master", his face obviously became ugly.But he didn't say anything in the end.

Jiang also saw his attitude in his eyes.It's not that he doesn't know the relationship between Xie Lian and his father, and it's not that he doesn't know how much Xie Lian has done for him to be able to paint.Xie Lian didn't need to suffer this kind of grievance, but because of him, he had to.He was anxious and wanted to do something, at least say something——

But what is there to say?

Jiang Ye clenched his hands tightly, hesitating for a long time but still had no idea, finally he could only blushed and looked at the man in the cap, clumsily but sincerely said: "I like drawing, I think... I want to try it."

The man in the peaked cap seemed a little surprised.There was light in the eyes of the young man in front of him. Through these eyes, he seemed to see his former self, so a smile finally appeared on his expressionless face.

He turned around and picked up a piece of sketch paper from the desk, picked out another pencil, and handed them to Jiang Ye.

He said, "Give it a try."
