stepping into the night

Got caught again.

Ruan Chu didn't expect him to ask such a question, he felt a little bit in his heart, and hurriedly looked away from him: "...that looks good."

He has been used to listening carefully and patiently when others speak since he was a child, and he will silently observe the situation of the people around him when he does not need to do anything himself, in case he can help at any time.

But when he observes silently, he always looks very quiet and well-behaved, and because he is the youngest one in the dormitory, he has been "captured" by several roommates and has been teased and rubbed several times, especially when facing Ruan Chu's old father. Zhao Tong, who is full of love.Ruan Chu didn't mind that what seemed to be "bullying" to outsiders was actually the joyful joy of a few boys when they were close to their friends. good.

But facing Lin Jiang is completely different from facing roommates.

In the dormitory, he is light and happy surrounded by goodwill and friendship, but facing Lin Jiang, he is a kind of stability and joy that is treated tenderly. He likes to see Lin Jiang at work, and also likes to hear that Lin Jiang will When the milk tea that needs to be delivered by him is handed over to him, there is every bit of care and advice.

Obviously since he was a child, he has met so many kind and amiable people when he met by chance, but that feeling seems to be different from when he was with Lin Jiang. He is grateful for Lin Jiang's gentleness to him, but he is a little greedy. This care lasted a little longer, a little longer than when he savored the rare delicacies, and Ruan Chu himself couldn't explain why.

So much so that Lin Jiang's casual sentence "How long have you been watching me, do you look good?" would make him flustered for a moment, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind, such as whether he would be aware of his own sexuality, and whether he would alienate himself because of it ?

But such doubts didn't last long, because Lin Jiang didn't have time to say anything to him—a few students came to order in a hurry before the store closed, stepping on their slippers.

On the way, there were several orders for girls' dormitories in the school. Ruan Chu took the packaged milk tea from Lin Jiang, went out from the bar, and rode his electric car straight to the destination.Boys were not allowed to enter the girl's dormitory. When Ruan Chu delivered it, he waited downstairs for another 5 minutes before delivering the milk tea to the other party. After delivering the last one, he started the car and went back to the store.

The youth restaurant is relatively close to Ruan Chu's dormitory. It would be more convenient for him to come to work directly in the morning if he parked his electric bike outside the store, but the school has regulations, so he can only ride the bike back after get off work.

The dormitories of the Department of Mathematics and the School of Foreign Languages ​​are not in the same area. Lin Jiang's dormitory is farther away from Ruan Chu's side, but it is less than 10 minutes away.

When Ruan Chu returned to the milk tea shop, Lin Jiang had already packed up his things and turned off the lights, and was about to leave. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, but Ruan Chu didn't pretend that he was waiting for him to come back.

"Is it finished?" Lin Jiang asked him first.

"Yeah." Ruan Chu nodded, he hesitated for a moment, turned around to look at his electric car, and asked Lin Jiang in a softer voice, "If you don't mind, senior, do you need me to take you back to the dormitory?"

"No need," Lin Jiang shook her head lightly. I don't know if it was because of the extraordinarily bright moonlight tonight, but the expression on his face was also very gentle, and there seemed to be some brisk smile in his eyes. He raised his hand and patted Ruan Chu took the empty seat that seemed to be difficult to accommodate the second big boy, "I'm too heavy, you can't carry it, go back and rest early."

Night Breeze obviously had a bit of coolness in it, but Ruan Chu felt his face was burning hot, he nodded, and his clear voice had the same gentle tone as his own: "Good night, senior."

"Good night." Lin Jiang nodded, watching him slowly start the electric car, wobbled and steadily drove towards the direction of his dormitory building, and then calmly stepped on the mark when he left, stepped on In the peaceful night, I was walking towards my own dormitory at the fork in the road.

He thought, he seems to have missed something this time.

——Forgot to ask Ruan Chu if he thought the cup of milk tea he made for him was good.

Lin Jiang felt a little regretful in her heart, as if she owed something, but this emotion was not deep.Because the time is still long, he can sneak in and make milk tea for Ruan Chu a few more times when the two of them are alone while there are no guests. You can watch him quietly and earnestly bite the straw and swallow the pearls at the bottom of the cup one by one. In the mouth, the cheeks are agitated like a little hamster storing food.

cute.want to knead.

"You're back? Brother Jiang, what are you thinking? You look very happy." Li An, the roommate on the fourth bed, poked his head out when he heard the slight movement of the door opening, and greeted Lin Jiang actively.

"It's nothing." After hearing his words, Lin Jiang realized that her mood today seemed a little too relaxed, and the smile on her lips quickly disappeared. When he gently closed the dormitory door, he subconsciously glanced at the left side of the balcony. Side berth position.

He didn't ask anything, but he could follow Lin Jiang's subconscious gaze to know what he was looking at. Li An took the initiative to explain the situation to him: "Pei Yun didn't come back, and said which department insisted on calling him because of the newcomers party. , he had to show his demeanor as a senior to entertain him, and he rented a hotel off campus for the night."

"Then how do you report the dormitory situation at the counselor's side?" Lin Jiang didn't say anything, but Pei Yun is the head of dormitory 208. During the time including holidays, he needs to explain the situation to the monitor half an hour before the gate every night, and then each The class monitor uniformly reported the situation of the dormitory to the college counselors to prevent any safety problems caused by students not returning home at night, but Pei Yun, the dormitory leader, took the lead in violating the rules and would even deduct points for the entire dormitory.

"I can't get through the phone," Li An twitched his lips, "Before he left, he didn't say what to do about the reporting problem. Just now the squad leader came to ask me alone, and I told the truth. If he comes back, he can scold him. He This rotten virtue is not a day or two. I should learn from you earlier and ignore him."

Lin Jiang nodded in response to his words and said nothing more. After washing up, she was ready to sort out the professional class notes for this period of time, brush up questions and do exercises.

"Brother Jiang, I'm going to bed first," Li An poked his head out from the bed curtain, "You can turn off the bedroom lights after you finish studying later."

In their dormitory, a local roommate went home during the National Day holiday. Li An and Pei Yun were both from other provinces, so they stayed at school. In addition, Pei Yun did not return to the dormitory, so there were only Lin Jiang and Li An left. personal.

"Good night." Lin Jiang turned on the lamp on his desk, got up and went to turn off the light in the bedroom before returning to his desk. In order not to affect his roommate's rest, he specially hung a curtain beside the desk to prevent the light from the lamp from leaking go out.

Every freshman will hear the advice from his predecessors before the start of the semester, saying that the university dormitory will not be as friendly and friendly as the roommates who lived in junior high school, they are just strangers living under the same roof, there is no need to talk to each other, as long as they manage well It is the best to spend the four years of college by yourself, have a good superficial relationship, and spend the four years of college in peace.

This is especially reflected in the Dongyuan 208 dormitory of the Department of Mathematics.

People who meet Lin Jiang for the first time will think that he is cold and difficult to get in touch with at first glance, and will mistakenly think that he is extremely difficult to get along with. After getting acquainted with him, they will find that although he deliberately keeps a good distance from everyone, he will not be too close or too close. He will be too distant, but he has never lost his temper on anything, as long as he is within the scope of his duties, he can do his best, and he will not speak ill of those around him.

Li An and another roommate from other provinces have gentle personalities. Although they are not enthusiastic enough to take care of everything, they are already very friendly.On the other hand, Pei Yun, who was so enthusiastic when we first met, seemed to be easy to care about some trivial matters. After a long time, he inevitably had conflicts with his roommates. of words.

The most recent dispute was on May 20th, the very popular "Valentine's Day". There was a department senior who Lin Jiang went to help before, and Lin Jiang was downstairs in the dormitory after Lin Jiang got off work from the milk tea shop at night. Confessing to him, he was bumped into by Pei Yun who came back from the department meeting, but he didn't pay attention to whether Lin Jiang agreed, he just ran back to the dormitory with a disgusted and serious expression and told the other two people, "Lin Jiang is gay!"

The other two roommates were skeptical, but the relationship in the dormitory has always been the most ordinary relationship between classmates, and they have no intention of interfering in other people's affairs.

After all, this is not a confession that will be supported by the vast majority of people. The senior didn't make it too grand, but just brought a bouquet of roses, saying that he admired Lin Jiang's calm personality, and wanted to have a deeper relationship with him and learn to improve together.

Lin Jiang had no impression of this senior at all, she just declined politely and distantly, and quickly turned and went upstairs to the dormitory, the senior who was rejected didn't bother, but held the bouquet of roses that couldn't be delivered in a bit of disappointment Hua hurriedly left the dormitory area of ​​the mathematics department.

When Lin Jiang returned to the dormitory, she met Pei Yun who was shocked and said to the other two roommates: "I saw that man give him roses with my own eyes, and he didn't refuse immediately! I'll just call him Not on the surface! He is gay, how disgusting!!!”

"Brother Jiang." The other two roommates looked a little embarrassed when they saw Lin Jiang who came back, but they didn't say anything. Listen to Pei Yun's words.

"Bah!" When Lin Jiang stared at someone expressionlessly, there would always be an indescribable sense of fear and pressure. Pei Yun was somewhat afraid of him, and looked away dodgingly, only gesturing towards Lin Jiang. He spat on the floor, cursed in a low voice and went back to his bed, "What a fucking bad luck! It's all a disease!"

Lin Jiang ignored him and didn't bother to explain, she just went back to her desk calmly to do her own thing.

The other two roommates didn't ask anything, and didn't ask Lin Jiang for confirmation. They all kept silent and communicated on QQ. Ruowu Ruowu came from outside the window, like heckling sounds.

Later, Li An explained the situation to Lin Jiang apologetically in private: "Actually, Liu Lei and I think that other people's sexual orientation has nothing to do with us. We forget what Pei Yun said after hearing it, and no one cares." , Brother Jiang, don't be angry, it's not the first day you know that he is such a person, and you don't need to explain, anyway, everyone knows who you are and what your personality is."

Lin Jiang nodded, with no other expression on her face, and said a few questions to Li An about the problems in the professional class, and then went back to their places to practice.

There is nothing to explain.

—he is.
