stepping into the night

The day before Christmas Eve, the class monitor and the school committee organized an activity together, saying that it was to make the relationship between the classmates more harmonious, so they gave each student a thumb-sized card and wrote a simple and easy-to-achieve Then everyone's wish will be distributed to other students blindly along with the gift boxed peace fruit bought by the class. Whoever gets the wish card needs to fulfill the wish for this classmate.Considering the time situation, the wish cards for boys and girls are separated. Boys will only receive wish cards from other boys in the class, and girls are similar.

What Ruan Chu just received was the squad leader's wish card, on which were written words such as Merry Christmas and New Year's blessings, followed by a wish of "Let's get a handful of chickens together".

Ruan Chu was a little embarrassed by this normal life item among boys, he had never been interested in things like games.He is used to some of the "terms" when Zhao Tong and Zhou Yue play games together, and he can roughly understand them, but he will not take the initiative to participate in them.

But this is an event planning by the class committee members, and he also wants to integrate into this class as much as possible. Even if he may not make any contribution, he will never be the most shining person.

Ruan Chu hesitated for a while, and sent a message to the squad leader through a temporary dialogue.The squad leader didn't force Ruan Chu when he heard about the situation, but this was an opportunity for classmates to socialize after all. As the squad leader, he had to lead by example, so he couldn't just let it go, so he changed the game and asked Ruan Chu to draw amulets for him.

Zhao Tong, the dorm head, usually went to the next door to hand in information sheets or homework. This was the first time Ruan Chu knocked on the door of the next bedroom, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Ruan Chu is here!" The squad leader is obviously a very serious and responsible person, as soon as he sees Ruan Chu, he can call out his name very kindly, come over with a smile, the two brothers hooked his shoulders and led him to the dormitory Let's go, "Come, come, come, there just happened to be a new shikigami, you can draw some for me."

Ruan Chu was a little embarrassed, but still followed the squad leader's instructions, and wrote the character "Lin" on his screen in one stroke, which was somewhat unclear. Then he watched the screen go dark, and a second later, the screen slowed down It slowly lit up, and it was a rather exquisite animation.

"Fuck!" The squad leader was also stunned, subconsciously broke out, and patted the hand on Ruan Chu's shoulder excitedly, "How are you, Ruan Chu!! Oh my God! I didn't force you to marry me in the first three hundred I see, there are only so many draws left, I didn’t expect to draw them out for you! Awesome!”

Ruan Chu didn't know what the situation was, but judging from the squad leader's reaction, it shouldn't be a bad thing. This made him feel relieved, and thanked the squad leader for his thoughtfulness. Because of his emotions, Ruan Chu couldn't help but feel happier .

But the squad leader's purpose is not really to let someone draw a talisman for him, but to enhance the friendship among classmates, so he quit the game, dragged a bench over and asked Ruan Chu to sit next to him, and then clicked on Another game interface: "It's okay if you don't know how to play, just help us take a look, if you see enemies or something, you can remind me."

"Ah, good." Ruan Chu looked at the time, it was not yet six o'clock, and it was still early for him to go to the office for duty at 06:30, so he agreed.

There is only one other student in the dormitory who is free to line up with the squad leader. The other two game teammates are randomly matched. Several of them have turned on the microphone, and they can hear the faint voice of others talking from one of the teammates. Sound, it seems that he is also a student of the Normal University.

"I'll tell you... maybe he's gay, and you don't believe me! You see, he never denied my statement! Last time I passed by the youth restaurant, I saw him flirting with some guy. Don't mention how disgusting it is!"

Because the speaker was turned on, I could hear some voices from one of the teammates.

It is perfectly normal to have friction and quarrels in the dormitory, and the squad leader didn't listen carefully, only concentrating on picking up guns and looking for supplies, but Ruan Chu quietly pricked up his ears subconsciously to hear the conversation more clearly.

——He seems to have heard that the somewhat vague "..." is Lin Jiang's name.

"Is it none of your business! Pei Yun, let me tell you that our dormitory has tolerated you for a long time, are you fucking in the closet and pestering Brother Jiang every day?" I could hear the sound of my teammate taking the phone away , but his angry voice was still a bit loud, and it came out very clearly.

"I think you don't know how to worry if the disease has not infected yourself!"

"I suggest you go to the Third City Hospital to see your brain first!" The teammate over there suddenly turned off the voice just after saying this, and the squad leader couldn't help but raise his head and look at his roommates in the first team. It was a bit embarrassing to be true, but he still chatted with Ruan Chu very kindly, trying to restore his image as a chicken-eating player in the eyes of good students: "Ham, this game is that all kinds of people may meet , well-informed, haha."

Not long after, the voice sign of the teammate who temporarily turned off the voice just now lit up again: "I'm sorry, I had a roommate who fell ill just now and forgot to turn off the microphone. It's fine now."

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand, the dormitory, there will be friction to some extent." The squad leader said with a good temper.

"It seems to me that you are also from the Normal University?"

"Yes, we live in the North District, from the School of Foreign Languages." The monitor said.

"Haha, yes, we are in Dongyuan, and it is fate to meet alumni. After this fight, add a friend, and form a team to fight together in the future."

"Okay."

Ruan Chu didn't hear any other dormitory-related voices from the student from the same school. He must have played games in a different place. He didn't even hear his roommate's voice anymore. This made Ruan Chu a little suspicious. stand up.But after playing this game, it was time for him to be on duty, so he got up and said goodbye to the squad leader. Before leaving, the squad leader stuffed a few handfuls of melon seeds and peanuts into his pocket, and Ruan Chu distributed them to Zhou Yue and Zhao when he returned to the dormitory. child them.

Christmas Eve is not a traditional festival in China, and now most of the people who want to celebrate this festival are young people with novel pictures. His shift in the office will still end at 09:30 as usual, but he will go to Dongyuan, Ye Xingzhi Jiu At one o'clock, I sent him a message saying that I would wait for him at the gate of Dongyuan to distribute the Ping An fruit together.

It's winter now, and the wind is biting. Ruan Chu pulled the collar of his down jacket to cover half of his face so that he didn't feel too cold. He obediently held a bunch of peace fruits in gift boxes, standing in the east. Next to the gate of the boys' dormitory in Yuanyuan.

In fact, on the way Ruan Chu came to Dongyuan, he went to the supermarket to pick out the most beautiful gift boxed Ping An fruit, and he put it in the pile of Ping An fruit that Ye Xingzhi was holding, which was closest to his left heart. The person he wanted to deliver the safe fruit was also in Dongyuan, but Ruan Chu was not sure if he would leave work early today.

Ye Xingzhi didn't know the specific dormitory numbers of the other members of the student union, so he contacted them one by one on QQ and asked them to come downstairs to get Christmas Eve gifts.Zhao Tong and Zhou Yue also strolled over here, like two mascots, a secretary who came to hold the Ping An fruit would wish them a happy New Year with a festive face, which made the seniors laugh for a long time, and was deeply impressed by them .

In less than an hour, the only safe fruit Ruan Chu held for him was his own—he still didn't see Lin Jiang.

Ruan Chu quietly stuffed the Ping An fruit he bought into the pocket of his fat down jacket, and walked back slowly beside a few roommates. There is Lin Jiang.

When passing by the youth restaurant, Ruan Chu still stopped in his tracks. His desire to see Lin Jiang again and give Lin Jiang a gift on Christmas Eve overwhelmed his loss, worry and embarrassment. He felt that it had been a long, long time since he I saw Lin Jiang.

"Youngest? What's the matter?" The three roommates also stopped, looking at Ruan Chu in unison.

"I...I want to go to the milk tea shop." Ruan Chu's heart beat faster, but it was impossible for him to tell the truth to his roommate. It is not surprising that it is cold and red.

"Oh, let's go with you." Zhou Yue didn't care much, and Ye Xingzhi stopped his voice just after he finished speaking. Ye Xingzhi looked at Ruan Chu and nodded lightly: "Then you go Come back soon."

"Okay." Ruan Chu rolled his eyes, "Then do you need anything I can bring back to your dormitory later?"

"We can do it by ourselves..." Zhao Tong obviously didn't keep up with him, and he was actively trying to accompany the youngest in the dormitory, but was distracted by Ye Xingzhi's words: "Then bring me a cup of milk tea, highland barley and taro balls, Weitang, I will transfer the money to you when I go back, if there is no one in the store, forget it."

Ye Xingzhi is an extremely self-disciplined person. Although he is a pampered young master, he never eats, drinks and plays openly with Zhou Yue and Zhao Tong, let alone milk tea. When Ruan Chu looked at him, his heart skipped a beat. , faintly felt that he might know something.

"Mr. Ye, how can you instruct the youngest to do things for you? You haven't succeeded in usurping the throne yet. How can there be an official to do it? It's heartbreaking!" Zhao Tong and Zhou Yue, who were chattering, were dragged to the dormitory by Ye Xingzhi. direction back.

The temperature in the cafeteria is a bit higher than outside, when Ruan Chu walked in, he felt the skin on his face warmed up a lot, today is Christmas Eve, at this point most of the young couples have gone out for the festival, only Lin Jiang is in the milk tea shop still working.

Ruan Chu found a seat next to the pillar and sat down. That place was facing the wind, but he could clearly see Lin Jiang working. As long as Lin Jiang didn't deliberately look this way, he wouldn't notice him. .

The mood that he had been depressed and anxious for many days dissipated the moment he saw Lin Jiang, and a certain kind of contented and peaceful mood slowly covered his heart, and his fingertips that were red from the cold were still lightly Holding it on the Ping An Guo, there is also a seal in his pocket that he went to find someone to paint.

He suddenly didn't want to talk to Lin Jiang so eagerly again, but it just made him feel a little regretful.

Ruan Chu was so engrossed in watching that when Lin Jiang raised his head to look at him with precision, he didn't have time to lower his head to avoid it, and directly collided with Lin Jiang's gaze, even his breath was separated by the air His eyes collided and froze.

But this time, it was Lin Jiang who looked away first.
