When Ni Lu said "friend" to his mobile phone, the beautiful woman who was looking for him outside their painting classroom was looking at him with a smile. Ni Lu couldn't explain in detail, so he simply used the word "friend" to summarize his relationship with this beautiful woman.

In fact, they are not strictly friends.

More like employer and employee.

He was employed by this senior who was two years older than him.

Seeing Ni Lu put away her phone, the senior asked, "Your friend?"

Ni Lu nodded: "Yes."

The senior sister squinted at him, with a bit of ridicule in her eyes, "Why do you care about you so much, you came to find you just after class?" Then she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Are you a girlfriend?"

Ni Lu shook his head, "No, just a classmate, a former roommate."

"Oh."

Hearing that it was just a classmate, the senior sister didn't ask any further questions.

The senior's name is Ren Jie, a serious student of the Academy of Fine Arts, their classroom is above Ni Lu's sketch classroom, and it happens that they are in a teaching building this afternoon, and they come over to call him after class.

The senior sister majored in fine arts, her hobby is handicrafts, and she is also the vice president of their school's handicraft club. Ni Lu took on a lot of manual work before through the introduction of this senior sister.

It's just that the person who hired Ni Lu to work this time is none other than this senior.

The senior sister recently took a job herself, which is a large quantity and high requirements. Of course, the salary is not low.Senior sister definitely can't eat it by herself, so she can only share part of it with others. Ni Lu is the one that senior sister found first, and also the one that senior sister is most satisfied with.

People who do handicrafts like this generally have their own small circle, and if there is a list that they can't eat, they will only spread in the small circle. I went out with a not-so-important order, but unexpectedly discovered that Ni Lu is such a handicraft talent.After discovering that no matter what job was handed over to Ni Lu, she could complete it perfectly, and Ren Jie knew that she had dug a treasure.

In the beginning, it was all online chatting, and Ren Jie couldn't make it if she wanted to ask someone out. Later, after Ni Lu's matter was clarified and Tian Fei also pleaded guilty, Ren Jie asked someone to come out and Ni Lu never refused again.The main reason why Ni Lu didn't refuse was that he still couldn't receive some important orders only through online appointments.

Knowing that Ni Lu is such a good handicraft worker, Ren Jie was not disappointed but happier. She has been coaxing Ni Lu to join her club. After all, their handicraft clubs are basically girls. Even if there are one or two boys, they can make them. If Ni Lu can join, he must be like a giant panda in their club. After all, there are not many boys who can do handwork so meticulously and perfectly.

Ni Lu did not agree to join the club. He is busy with his studies and work, so he is a bit busy, but he needs to use some special equipment to make something recently, and it happens that Ren Jie has it, and Ren Jie promised him to help her with the work At the same time, these devices can be used unconditionally, so even if he already has work on hand, he still agrees to help Senior Sister Ren.

Because of Ni Lu's unique insights in manual work, Senior Sister Ren discussed almost everything with him this time. At noon, she discussed with Senior Sister Ren the materials needed for the work to be done this time. Both of them happened to be free in the afternoon. , So we met together and went to the material market to get everything ready.

At this moment, Ni Lu's advantages as a boy were revealed. All the materials were prepared, and two large cardboard boxes and two large bags were stuffed. If it weren't for Ni Lu, Ren Jie would probably cry out.

Although Ni Lu was thin, he rolled up his sleeves and easily carried two big cardboard boxes and a big bag downstairs. He was really handsome.

He took off his thick coat for easy transportation, and inside was a loose sweater that was a bit pilled and whitish, but he could still see his good figure with wide shoulders and narrow back, his legs were straight and straight, and he was walking on the stairs step by step The steps are still relaxed and natural, the arms exposed by the rolled up sleeves are tensed due to the heavy weights, and a thin layer of muscles is attached under the healthy-colored skin.

This is a young man who is 19 years old and almost 20 years old. His eyebrows are faintly sharp but still childish, showing a unique charm that this age should have.The sunlight from outside the window slanted in, outlining a warm golden edge around his body, which made it difficult for anyone to look away.

Ren Jie only needs to carry the lightest bag downstairs, and she follows Ni Lu, her gaze stays on the figure in front of her, and hearing Ni Lu's steady footsteps when she goes downstairs, she can't help but say: "You It’s so strong, but fortunately I called you here, otherwise I really don’t know what to do.”

Ni Lu, who was carrying things downstairs, not only cared about Ren Jie, who was not walking fast in leather shoes, but also spoke to her with ease, "No." He said, "Senior sister is so popular, if you call, there must be many people willing to help .”

Ren Jie said: "Even if I can call people to help, they can't do as well as you."

What Ren Jie said is true, the handwork that can move things is not as good as Ni Lu, and the handwork is not as good as Ni Lu.

"It's really the right thing to ask you to help me this time." Ren Jie continued, "It's not just to help me move things. You don't know that when I took over the job before, I started to have a headache from the material I used, and there were not many people who could discuss it. .And some of the opinions you gave me really opened my eyes. You are much bolder than me in terms of material selection and color matching."

"You majored in architectural design, although it has nothing to do with painting, but I really think you are more suitable for majoring in fine arts. Why didn't you enter the academy of fine arts?"

Hearing the undisguised sympathy in Ren Jie's words, Ni Lu, who was holding two big boxes, stopped, turned around and smiled at her who was standing on the two steps, "I like my major now."

Ren Jie had nothing to say now, so she could only sigh heavily, with a look of regret for losing talent, "Oh!"

It was getting dark after leaving the shopping mall, Ren Jie suggested that they eat before going back to school, Ni Lu couldn't refuse, and could only go to eat with her.

Put the things in a place for people to help keep them. Ren Jie said that she knew that there was a place nearby that had delicious food, so she took Ni Lu's arm and left.

Ni Lu looked at the arm that was grabbed by her, and pulled it out helplessly, but senior sister Ren gave him a strange look, "Why?"

Ni Lu said, "Men and women are different."

Ren Jie laughed "puchi", "What age is it!"

But he didn't pull him anymore.

What Ren Jie said is delicious is mutton in dry pot, and I don’t know how to fry it. The mutton is very fragrant and a bit spicy. Put it in a small iron pot and simmer slowly. It feels hot when you eat it. It’s quite suitable for winter eat.

Two people, both students, don't waste money, a mutton pot, a plate of fried vegetables, soup and two bowls of rice are enough.

After the dishes were served, Ni Lu's cell phone rang without eating two pieces of dry and fragrant mutton. He picked it up to look at it, and then replied by voice: "Well, it's outside. I'm eating." "Not alone." "Go back later ""No need to pick up, I'll take a taxi."

Ren Jie served a bowl of soup, looked at the young man opposite, took a sip from the spoon, waited for him to put down his phone, and asked with a smile, "Girlfriend?"

Ni Lu froze for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

"Friend?" Ren Jie said, "What kind of friend is it? It sounds like you are checking the post."

Ni Lu said, "Roommate."

This time it was Ren Jie's turn to be stunned, and it took a while before she said, "Chairman Zhang?"

Ni Lu's roommate is Zhang Yucheng, which is well known in their school.

Ni Lu nodded, "Yes."

Ren Jie stuffed a mouthful of meat into her mouth in a daze, chewed it a few times, and couldn't help but said, "Is Chairman Zhang like this in private?"

Although Chairman Zhang always smiles when he sees people, and the expression on his face is always as comfortable as a breeze, but the sense of alienation is also real. care.It is precisely because he doesn't care and doesn't care that he looks at problems so tolerantly and easily, which makes people think that he has a good temper and a gentle personality.But when you get close, you will know that this person is actually very cold-tempered, he has a good sense of proportion, keeps a certain distance from everyone, and never leaves any chance for people to daydream.

Although Ren Jie is not from the student union, she has a lot of contact with the student union. She has several good friends who belong to the student union, and has dealt with Zhang Yucheng several times, so she naturally knows what kind of person Zhang Yucheng is.Therefore, when she learned that Zhang Yucheng was the one who asked about Ni Lu's whereabouts in such detail, she couldn't react.

Ni Lu didn't understand what she meant, "What else?"

Ren Jie said, "I care about you like I care about my girlfriend."

Ni Lu put down his chopsticks and was about to drink soup with a spoon, when he heard this, he paused.Ni Lu didn't speak any more, and Ren Jie just said it for fun, and it was even more inappropriate to finish it.

The solid alcohol in their small stove was burning slowly, and the pieces of sauce-colored mutton in the pot on the stove were emitting smoke mixed with a craving aroma, which also slightly blocked the sight of two people at a table.The two people sitting opposite each other drank soup and the other ate vegetables, and did not speak for a while.

Ren Jie didn't notice that after she said "girlfriend", the tip of Ni Lu's ears turned red.

Zhang Yucheng waited in the dormitory until it was dark before Ni Lu came back, and then he sent a message to ask where he was.

It was rare for him to return to the dormitory before five o'clock today, thinking about going out for dinner with Ni Lu, but Ni Lu never came back.

Knowing that Ni Lu had already eaten outside, Zhang Yucheng opened the takeaway software after finishing the conversation with Ni Lu, thinking about eating anything tonight.

Opening the food delivery software and flipping through it, Zhang Yucheng suddenly put down his phone and didn't order anything.

The little beckoning cat hanging on the phone dangled back and forth on the edge of the table, and the small bell under it "jingled" twice. Zhang Yucheng reached out and fiddled with the beckoning cat twice, making the crisp bell ring again.

Only then did I feel that my heart was not so empty.
