Years are warm

After the college officially replied, Xie Zhiyao went to the studio and told Gu Xinci about the news and her own thoughts. She studied French as an undergraduate, and if she really wants to go, she can actually wait for a graduate student.

It's never too late to learn something.

"Going to France...you need to study art for three years." Gu Xinci glanced at her, pondered for a moment and said, "I need to discuss it with your parents."

The pen in her hand tapped the paper lightly, and added: "If they agree, I can write you a letter of recommendation."

Xie Zhiyao was taken aback.

In fact, she has never quite understood why Gu Xinci would take care of her later, let's talk about cherishing talents... Qingyun Academy of Fine Arts has no shortage of talented people.

Gu Xinci probably figured out why she was stunned. Gu Xinci got up and poured a glass of water, and said calmly: "I don't have many students under my supervision, and I may not be able to do this job after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts. If I don't write a recommendation, it's a waste to keep it."

When she said this, her voice was very low, as if she was really careless.

If Xie Zhiyao hadn't heard what she added before leaving, I'm afraid he really thought she just mentioned it casually.

"Besides parents, remember to tell the people who should talk about it. The school should be very busy in the past two years."

"Mr. Gu, you..." Xie Zhiyao was taken aback, and wanted to pretend nothing happened, but he got stuck when he met the woman's eyes, and the words changed into, "What are you?" when……"

Gu Xinci lowered her eyes, she lowered her head, slowly drank the water in the quilt, and then said softly: "I have no other intentions, and I won't think too much about it. You can rest assured. She will be a student of Professor Lin. Not bad indeed."

What this means is that she has known it for a long time, and she has understood it thoroughly.

Xie Zhiyao stared at her blankly for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Teacher Gu."

It's not that Gu Xinci has done anything, but that as a minority, she cherishes every goodwill in this world and is willing to repay it with sincerity.

Gu Xinci watched her thank him earnestly before taking her things and closing the door to go out, feeling mixed feelings for a while.Sunlight hung on the painting in the middle through the window, with warm tones, as if dispelling the cold in late autumn and early winter. She put down the cold glass, walked slowly to the painting, and slid her fingertips across the canvas.

"What you have to worry about...is not me, but your closest relative." After a long time, a sigh finally fell from the silent studio.

It was still early when we came out, Xie Zhiyao waited until after Xu Huaian got out of class, the two of them went to eat, then wandered around the campus aimlessly, and finally ran to sit on the high platform beside the flag-raising platform in the playground.Today is not yet Friday and weekend, there are not many people in the playground, and there are basically no people in this area.

She said Gu Xinci's words and her own considerations intact, and then asked one more question out of nowhere.

"Xiao An, have you ever thought about... what to do after college? Or..."

In fact, it is too early to say this, they are only sophomores, but for some reason, Xie Zhiyao is just a little curious about this.

"Stay in Linjiang?"

"Let's see you." Xu Huai'an closed her eyes, the night wind was a bit cold, she paused, and continued, "It's the same over there."

"Ok?"

"Aren't you going to graduate school?" She swayed her legs and smiled, "You must have stayed in school longer than me, and it's impossible for me to follow you to France, isn't it?"

"I didn't say I had to go..." Xie Zhiyao pursed his lower lip, lowered his head and muttered, "There's nothing wrong with it, and even if I go now, it should have nothing to do with the Academy of Fine Arts."

As she said this, just as she was about to change the subject, the person next to her suddenly reached out and rubbed her head.

"You want to go, don't you?" Xu Huai'an propped his face, his eyes curled up, "Go, it's only for a while."

Xie Zhiyao scolded her a little funnyly: "Aren't you afraid of foreign countries? Well, no, don't you miss me?"

"You haven't left yet." Xu Huai'an lowered his eyes a little, deliberately not answering that question.

Xie Zhiyao tugged at the corner of her clothes, and called her repeatedly in a soft voice, from Huai'an to Xiaobao, just wanting her to tell what she was thinking.

Xu Huai'an couldn't resist her, so he could only look at her helplessly, and said, "Stop yelling... Do you want to, what do you think? Of course you will, but you can't be prevented from going because of this."

When she said this, her voice was low, but her face was soft.The halo of the night light hit her face softly, Xie Zhiyao suddenly remembered her appearance when she was a child, her small face was serious, she didn't say anything when she felt uncomfortable, she just sat quietly There, and now... She raised her eyes to look directly at those eyes, and clearly found her own reflection in them.

The eyes are clear and soft.

"Ayao, in fact, think about it another way, if Teacher Lin gave me such a chance, would you let me go, or not?"

Lin Tongzhang is a gold-lettered signboard of Qingyun School of Economics, and many of his students are recommended by him for further studies. It is unknown whether Xu Huaian himself will follow this path in the future, but it is foreseeable that the possibility is absolutely Low.

Xie Zhiyao knew what she meant, she pursed her lower lip, and sighed, "Of course I let you go..."

"That's all right?" Xu Huai'an nodded her side face, "So don't worry, I won't run away."

They have walked a long way together. Although they agreed to be together, there are some roads that can only be walked by one person, but it doesn't matter.Even if the short section in the middle is separated, they all lead to the same goal after all.

"Then... what if I want to stay there longer? I remember it takes three years to study in graduate school..."

"Then wait here for you, I think I am patient." She smiled, "Go, it doesn't matter how long, I will always wait for you."

Be it Linjiang or Shenning, she has never lacked the patience to wait. When she was a child, she waited for her parents to get used to the night, but when she waited for Xie Zhiyao, she was waiting for her little sun to come back.

Xie Zhiyao stared at her for a while, pinched her earlobe and kissed her.

In the dark night, a flash of light flashed away.

It was very cold this year, not long after November, there was a snowfall in Linjiang.

Xie Zhiyao suddenly received a call from Xia Lan after class one day. She usually talked with her family at night, unless there was something urgent, otherwise they would not call her at this time.

However, after picking it up, Xia Lan didn't say anything important. Instead, he talked a lot.

When the get out of class was over, there were still people in the next class saying excuse me, but there were still a lot of people in the corridor.

Xie Zhiyao turned sideways from the small road to a slightly more open place, still wondering what his mother wanted to do, when he heard Xia Lan's voice pause, and then suddenly asked a question.

"Is Xiao An not with you?"

"Xiao An? She has her own class." Xie Zhiyao asked suspiciously, "Mom, why did you suddenly ask her?"

"Ah, it's okay, I just heard from Xiaoyang that the two of you often stay together. Is your relationship still so good after you go to college?"

Hearing Xia Lan mentioning Xu Yang, Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but frowned, and his voice became a little colder: "Mom, did Xu Yang tell you something?"

She has a good temper, which doesn't mean she's just being patient. She's tired of Xu Yang's self-righteous harassment. If the last warning doesn't work, she really has to do something.

"No...well, I know you don't like him, but his father is our colleague after all, so it's not easy to get too stiff, right?" Xia Lan's voice paused, and quickly blurred the topic, "Then Are the kids busy too?"

"It's quite busy. You and Dad didn't praise her too much before." She didn't think much, and then said, "We just get together after class. How can we stay together in class? We learned It's all different."

That's what I said, but in fact the two of them did do this, of course they can't say it at this time.

Xia Lan on the other end of the phone answered, and hung up the phone after saying a few casual words.

Although Xie Zhiyao was puzzled, he didn't think about it, and put his phone in his pocket and went back to the dormitory.The counselor just told her about the exchange two days ago, and she still has some things to prepare.

She didn't tell Xu Huai'an about this somewhat inexplicable phone call. This incident was like a gust of wind that blew by chance in ordinary life. No one thought about where it came from and what kind of storm it would bring.

Thousands of miles away in Shenning, the early winter is a rare torrential rain.

The computer on the desk was turned on, and there was an email on it, the attachment was downloaded, and on the opened picture, two figures overlapped intimately.

It could be a kiss, or it could be something else.

Xie Yuanhong pursed his lips and said nothing, but Xia Lan was too familiar with him, this kind of silence before the accident seemed to be brewing a storm.

"Don't tell Dad yet." He pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice, "He can't stand this stimulation."

Xia Lan looked at him and couldn't help asking, "What do you want to do?"

Forcibly separate people?They had only promised their daughter a few months ago that no matter who she chose, they would not interfere, but...

Why is it that kid?Why is it... a girl?

In all fairness, both she and Xie Yuanhong liked Xu Huai'an very much. He was smart and good-looking. Although his temper was a bit dull, he had a good heart.If it's a boy... Don't talk about these things, they don't care how they like to toss about.

Although Xu Yang is the child of an old colleague, he is not like Xu Huai'an in every respect.

This time, he seemed to be kind enough to remind him, but in fact, they couldn't see what a child of this age was hiding.

"Let's watch it again, I'm going to... let, let the friends who can talk more pay attention over there." Xie Yuanhong sighed, "Xiaoyang's one-sided words, I... still want to watch it again."

But rather than looking at it again, he just didn't want to believe it.

The photos are there, the intimacy is real, but if you don’t want to believe it, it’s not unreasonable to force yourself to comfort yourself and say it’s a joke between friends.

"Whether she and Xiao An are in a relationship, we still..."

He was halfway through speaking, and the remaining half of the sentence was stuck in his throat, when he heard the study door being pushed open with a bang.

"You... what were you talking about just now?" The old man was leaning on crutches, and at some point he stood at the door, his lips trembling, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes.

For a moment, the whole room was silent.
