Tender trapping

"Hey, why are you sneaking around all the time today?" Lin Yingying patted Ran Xu's shoulder, leaned her head from the side, and blinked, "Is there something on your mind?"

"No." Ran Xu came back to his senses, blushing when she saw her, and quickly lowered his head.

I made an appointment with Lin Yingying to have dinner at her house today, firstly to thank him for the photography exhibition, and secondly, Lin Zhengqing also wanted to take time to get together with his "disciple".

The Lin family is a typical scholarly family, with a spacious apartment, and the decoration is more classical Chinese. There is a scent of tea all the year round, and things are scattered. Occasionally, the parents of the Lin family can be heard bickering.

For Ran Xu, such a place feels like home... At least compared to his younger brother crying day and night, and Xue Xiaoxia's repeated cursing after drunk, the atmosphere of Lin's house is obviously more in line with Ran Xu's "family" "Expectation.

He was dragged to the dining table by Lin Yingying, and the two faced each other. Lin Yingying still couldn't help gossiping: "You blushed after just a few words? You have something wrong."

"What's the matter?" Mother Lin answered with a smile, put a chopstick of green vegetables in Ran Xu's bowl, "Xiao Xu, are you in love?"

"Nothing!" Ran Xu almost spit out the rice he ate, and he shook his head desperately, but it seemed to confirm Lin's mother's guess.

Lin Yingying let out a "Hey" voice, with a clear expression on her face: "They are all adults, don't hide them, who is it, and tell the senior sister, I will give you the staff."

"...No one." Ran Xu's face turned redder.

Ever since he left 1980 last time, he couldn't help recalling the kiss that Zhuo Wenlang planted on his forehead. The warm touch still stayed there after he washed his face for the third time.

He was not such an inexperienced middle school student, of course Ran Xu knew what Zhuo Wenlang's kiss meant, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

Speaking of which, Zhuo Wenlang kissed him, but didn't make any other requests, as if he was just telling Ran Xu that he liked him, but it didn't count as taking the initiative to deepen the relationship between the two of them.

Giving him hope, but stepping aside in a seemingly gentlemanly manner, actually put the relationship between the two of them in a place that is neither awkward nor embarrassing.

Ran Xu felt his mind was in a mess.

He really needs to find someone to talk to...

He was going crazy.

Ran Xu didn't have many friends, perhaps Lin Yingying was one of the few.

He swallowed the food in his mouth, met Lin Yingying's curious and gossipy eyes, smiled helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Auntie and Teacher Lin are here."

The matter between him and Zhuo Wenlang is really not suitable for the elders to hear too much.

Mother Lin thought he was shy, and touched her daughter with her shoulder with her shoulder, signaling Lin Yingying to ask more questions, but the latter was about to speak when she saw Lin Zhengqing knocking on the bowl with her chopsticks.

"...Eat first." Lin Zhengqing cleared his throat, obviously receiving Ran Xu's eyes asking for help.

After dinner, Lin Yingying proposed to take Ran Xu downstairs for a walk, but before Ran Xu could express his opinion, she dragged him downstairs.

The north wind was blowing, and it was really not a good time to take a walk. Lin Yingying realized this problem after a while, and took Ran Xu to the milk tea shop next to her in embarrassment.

Holding a cup of hot milk tea for each person, Ran Xu suddenly felt much calmer.

"What's the matter, you've been out of your mind all day." Lin Yingying's eyes fell on Ran Xu's neck, where a light gray scarf was hanging, and the fabric seemed to be very warm. "Are you really in love?"

"No." Ran Xu replied, then added after a pause, "Should...no."

"Is it there or not!" Lin Yingying's curiosity was aroused by him.

Her primary school brother is good-looking and good-natured, but her personality is a bit reserved, and her legs are really inconvenient... Otherwise, she dares to guarantee that there are definitely not a few girls who chase after Ran Xu.

"Actually, I'm not sure about the relationship between the two of us." Ran Xu sighed, and finally decided to put down his face and ask for help, "Senior sister, tell me, if a person kisses another person, it must be because he likes him?"

"Nonsense." Lin Yingying became more excited, "Who kissed you? Where did you kiss?"

"... forehead." Ran Xu felt that his face was so hot that he could fry an egg. He described Zhuo Wenlang's various performances and Lin Yingying's, and in the end he felt more and more embarrassed, "In short, he Kissed me and didn't say anything, I don't know what to do."

"Let you go after her!" Lin Yingying seemed more anxious than Ran Xu, "Oh, you stupid brain, why don't you understand girls' minds at all."

Ran Xu choked for a moment, and didn't remind the gender issue aloud. He hesitated for a moment, and asked: "But, I really don't think there is anything he would like about me."

"This is your problem, junior." Lin Yingying patted him on the shoulder solemnly, "Actually, you are pretty good in everything, but sometimes you are too unconfident... You know, this face alone is enough to attract people .”

Ran Xu froze and didn't speak.

From childhood to adulthood, the most common comment on his appearance from the outside world is "like a girl", especially those old people in the village, who often say that he can't lift his hands or shoulders, and most likely he won't be able to marry a wife in the future.

Although Ran Xu didn't believe all of these words, but after listening to them repeatedly, he naturally didn't have a good impression of his appearance.

"...but I think he looks better than me." He said truthfully.

"Then he's taken a fancy to your talent."

"..." Ran Xu didn't believe this even more.

"Hey, be more confident, okay?" Lin Yingying hated iron and steel, "You don't care what the other person thinks, if you like her, you should seize this opportunity and take the initiative. Don't pass this village by then without this shop."

These words went to Ran Xu's heart.

He thought, he really should give it a try, even if it's an accurate sentence from Zhuo Wenlang's mouth, whether he likes it or not, whether they can be together, etc., let's leave it for later consideration.

After making up his mind, Ran Xu suddenly felt much more relaxed.

After saying goodbye to Lin Yingying, he took the bus back to school alone. The last bus was empty, and there was no one in the bus. He looked at the receding city street scene outside the window, thinking about Zhuo Wenlang with all his heart.

Thinking about it, Ran Xu turned on his phone and edited a text message to Zhuo Wenlang: "Mr. Zhuo, thank you for inviting me to the exhibition. I promised you to cook some delicious food for you earlier. Do you have any favorite food?"

After hesitating for a long time, Ran Xu still clicked the send button.

At this time, Ran Xu didn't know that a post was posted on the internal bbs of the Second City Academy of Fine Arts. This forum, which is usually only used to check school notifications, became lively that night.

[Pickling] The rumored photos a while ago!It's really disgusting to stay in the same dormitory with him every day.
