The days when I worked part-time as a dormitory in the male dormitory

After returning home, Lu Xiao rested for a day, and went to school early the next morning to find a teacher.

The weather was already very hot at the end of June. Even in the early morning, just after the sun came out, the general will hang in the sky and pierce the clouds, and the beams of light that came out made Lu Xiao sweat.

Lu Xiao carried a backpack on one shoulder, and fanned his face with one hand. The burning sensation on his face gradually disappeared until he entered the building and the air-conditioning blew.

The phone vibrated, and it was a message from Liang Huaiyu, asking him when he could finish.

Lu Xiao went to the self-service vending machine to buy a bottle of mineral water. While drinking the water and wiping off his sweat, he didn't have time to reply to the message, so he casually sent a full stop back.

The other side understood, and the call came after a few seconds.

Seeing the caller ID, Lu Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, tightened the bottle cap and pressed to answer.

"What were you doing just now, Xiao'er?"

In the early morning, there were few people in the building and it was quiet, and Liang Huaiyu could vaguely hear the sound of typing on the keyboard.

"It's nothing, I just bought a bottle of water, it's too hot... Are you still busy?"

"Not busy, just wait a moment..."

Lu Xiao stood in the corridor waiting for the elevator, and heard the rubbing of the clothes when he stood up, and then opened and closed the door twice, and finally Liang Huaiyu's voice reappeared, much clearer and clearer.

"It's not just about those things, how are you? You're not uncomfortably hot, are you?"

"No, it's not enough," Lu Xiao entered the elevator and pressed the floor, "I can finish it before 11 o'clock, just to talk about the graduation project."

"That's right, I'll pick you up for lunch later, what do you want to eat?"

Lu Xiao thought for a while, but he didn't really have much appetite, "Let's relieve the heat, it's too hot."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

With a "ding", the elevator door opened, and Lu Xiao walked out, "I'm here, so I won't tell you now."

"Tell me when you're done, when you come out, stick to the wall and go under the roots of the trees, you know, don't put it under the big sun."

Lu Xiao smiled: "I know."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiao opened the door of the studio. The teacher Fang Nian had arrived, holding a carving knife in his hand and was fiddling with a plaster statue that had just been formed. When he saw him come in, he put down the tools in his hand.

"Are you in a good mood today?"

Fang Nian is a slightly chubby middle-aged man, his eyes are narrowed into slits when he smiles. Countless people have said that he looks more like a middle school teacher than a sculptor, the kind who teaches Chinese.

"Is there?" Lu Xiao touched his face, probably because the smile he chatted with Liang Huaiyu hadn't subsided, "Maybe a little..."

Fang Nian took off his black apron to wash his hands, not forgetting to gossip, "Are you in love?"

"No!" Lu Xiao was a little shy, thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe maybe it's possible, soon..."

Fang Nian laughed out loud after hearing this, "You have to hurry up!"

He dried his hands and took out something from his bag and handed it to Lu Xiao: "Your sister Fang Yan is going to get married, don't you won't even have a date by then."

Lu Xiao took it over and looked at it. It was a wedding invitation, and his eyes overflowed with joy: "Congratulations, Sister Yan!"

Fang Yan can be regarded as his older sister who grew up with him. His grandfather was still alive back then, and Fang Nian, as his grandfather's closed disciple, often brought his daughter to their house to play.

Later, Lu Xiao's mother passed away due to dystocia, and the younger sister who gave birth also died within a few days, and the grandfather even loved Fang Yan as his own granddaughter.

Later, his grandfather also passed away, and Fang Nian's family also regarded Lu Xiao as their youngest son. Lu Xiao spent more time with them than with his own father, and went back to their house to stay for a while during the Chinese New Year.

"But sister Yan just brought her boyfriend home a month or two ago, and she's getting married soon?"

"Isn't it?" Fang Nian took a sip of tea, "Flash marriages are so popular."

Lu Xiao laughed, opened the invitation card and looked at it. The handwriting on it was clear and elegant: Mr. Jiang Yan is sincerely invited to the wedding. It was obviously written by his sister Yan.

There are also parentheses below: If you don't become the best man for your sister, you will die.

Jiang Yan was the name given to Lu Xiao by his grandfather Jiang Songting, and Fang Nian's family used to call him that.

Perhaps because of a kind of obscure inheritance, Lu Xiao only uses the name Jiang Yan in the industry for sculptures.

"Xiao Yan," Fang Nian pressed his shoulders and sat down on the chair, "You just said you have a crush, when will you take me home and meet up, let your teacher's wife check it out."

"It's not finished yet!" Lu Xiao blushed, "I'll show you when it's done."

"Hahaha, okay," Fang Nian smiled blindly, "Hold tight...but don't be too tight, don't move at the same speed as your sister, I can't stand it—by the way, the little girl you like Is the product okay?"

"There is absolutely no problem with character." Lu Xiao said seriously.

Thinking of the little girl in Fang Nian's mouth, Lu Xiao compared Liang Huaiyu's physique, which seemed to be a little far behind the little girl.

He hesitated for a while whether to tell the truth about him and Liang Huaiyu, but he swallowed the words for a while.

Although he knew that Fang Nian's attitude towards homosexuality had always been relatively mild, but after all, he and Liang Huaiyu hadn't really been together yet, and everything they said was false. Let's talk slowly when the time is right.

"It's enough to pass the character test, and you can consider everything else." Fang Nian took a sip of tea and chatted about the business: "What do you plan to do with your graduation project?"

In fact, according to Lu Xiao's reputation in the industry and the awards he has won, it is enough for him to skip the graduation project and thesis and graduate directly.

But they had discussed before that Lu Xiao would still make a work as a gift to his alma mater, and the final product would be placed in the school history exhibition hall of University B.

Lu Xiao said, "I'm going to make a portrait."

Fang Nian nodded, "Okay, you can make up your own mind, I can't do anything."

"Oh, by the way," Fang Nian pointed at the door, "I came to open the door this morning, and I saw that you had a mail here, and it was from an auction house. Why do you want to sell something?"

Lu Xiao went to the door to open the mail, and it was indeed an invitation letter, "Yes, this is a charity auction, and all the money will be donated to children in impoverished mountainous areas."

He took the invitation letter back to the original place and sat down, "I'm going to make a jade pendant carved last year."

Fang Nian thought for a while, "That's a good thing."

Lu Xiao smiled, and said, "After the auction is over, we can go to the mountains together. I think it's very interesting. Teacher, do you want to go together? I remember that you like to go to the countryside."

Fang Nian's eyes showed yearning, but he waved his hands and gave up: "Forget it, I don't have time, your sister got married and made a fuss, and it's not like you don't know her temperament, she is so anxious and impatient, the wedding dress has already been picked out." There are more than a dozen stores."

"It's you," Fang Nian sat upright, "If you go to the countryside, can the wedding be in time?"

"Of course, I can go to the country to stay for a week at most, and sister Yan's wedding is still a month away."

"That's fine," Fang Nian heaved a sigh of relief, "If you don't come, she might talk about it."

Lu Xiao put the wedding invitation and invitation letter in his bag, "I will come to Sister Yan's wedding no matter what, the best man is confirmed."

"I know you two have a good relationship," Fang Nian got up and patted Lu Xiao's shoulder, "Okay Xiaoyan, you go back first, it will get hotter and hotter later."

Lu Xiao looked out the window when he heard that the sun had indeed risen, so he got up and said goodbye.

It was a few minutes before eleven o'clock when I left the building, Lu Xiao sent a message to Liang Huaiyu, and walked close to the wall under the shade of a tree.

It was almost noon, and there were more people in the school, and a group of students in volunteer coats walked up to them and handed out a few leaflets to Lu Xiao, asking Lu Xiao to participate in some activities.

Lu Xiao took it and walked around watching it. It turned out to be a joint activity with Liang Huaiyu and his school, and it was also called "Ice Breaking Fellowship".

You must know that although University A and University B are separated by a street, their relationship has always been very ordinary. Except for the fact that the men and women on both sides will fall in love across schools, the two sides have never organized any activities together in the century since the school was founded.

Today is really a long time to see each other, and I can actually see the two schools settle down.

The flyer stated that the "ice breaking friendship" aims to promote the unity and friendship between the two schools, enhance the relationship between students, learn together and make progress together, and make contributions to the motherland.

Lu Xiao looked at it strangely, he didn't pay attention when he walked, and almost fell off his ass when he suddenly bumped into the person opposite, but luckily someone pulled him from behind.

The man's hand holding his arm was extremely strong, and instantly pulled Lu Xiao, who was about to touch the hot ground, into his arms.

Lu Xiao slammed into the man's chest, his head was stunned for a moment, and he knew who it was without turning around.

"Did you fall?" Liang Huaiyu put his arms around his waist.

"It's okay." Lu Xiao separated from his arms and went to see the person he bumped into.

"Are you ok?"

That person was a girl, but she was lucky. She was close to the gate, and there was a notice board erected beside her. She stood on the notice board without falling.

The girl shook her head, feeling very guilty, "I'm fine, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention when I was walking."

She was also holding the "Ice Breaking Friendship" leaflet, glanced at the same leaflet in Lu Xiao's hand, and laughed, "Is it because of this too?"

This ice-breaking was really strange. People coming and going on campus looked down at the list, and they were not the only ones who bumped into each other.

Both of them were not hurt, and after apologizing to each other, they went their separate ways. Liang Huaiyu was not very happy, "What a piece of shit, I almost fell you."

Lu Xiao shook the list in his hand, "Our two schools are going to have a friendship, isn't it rare enough?"

Liang Huaiyu directly grabbed the list and placed it on top of Lu Xiao's head to shield him from the sun, "I knew about it a long time ago. This matter was planned half a year ago."

Lu Xiao opened his eyes wide, "How do you know?"

Liang Huaiyu didn't say why, but wiped the sweat off Lu Xiao's forehead with a piece of paper, and only said: "The principals of both sides went to the higher-ups to hold a meeting, and the above-mentioned meaning is that it is not good for them to keep poking and provoking conflicts, so let's solve it quickly." .”

"No," Liang Huaiyu pouted hard, looking at the list, "It's so much fanfare, it's so pretentious that people don't know that the relationship between our school has improved."

"Even," Liang Huaiyu took out his student card, "Now, as long as you show our school's student card, you can directly enter your school. Thanks to this, otherwise I couldn't hold you just now, and you would have to fall again."

Lu Xiao didn't want to care about how many ways there were in this event, but only thought that if Liang Huaiyu could freely enter and leave their campus in the future, could he also take Liang Huaiyu to play around.

Just as he was thinking, he glanced at the drama poster on the bulletin board from the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up.

Liang Huaiyu hugged Lu Xiao wholeheartedly and walked towards the school gate, not wanting him to bask in the sun, but Lu Xiao stopped.

"What's wrong?" Liang Huaiyu posted.

Lu Xiao looked at him with round eyes, all smiling, "Do you want to come to our school to watch a drama?"

The theater of University B is famous all over the country, and many famous dramas are performed here. He also wants to watch it with Liang Huaiyu.

He had stood under the sun for a long time, his skin was thin, his cheeks were red, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

Liang Huaiyu looked soft-hearted, "Okay, let's go and see."

He gently wiped off Lu Xiao's sweat, "But let's go to the car first, shall we? You can't sunbathe baby anymore."

"Yeah." Lu Xiao smiled sweetly, letting Liang Huaiyu guard him out of the school, "There will be one this Saturday afternoon, come over then."

On Saturday afternoon, five days before now, Liang Huaiyu's heart moved, and he vaguely had an idea.

He also held Lu Xiao's shoulder, slid his fingers up, pinched Lu Xiao's earlobe and rubbed it subconsciously, thoughtfully, "Okay, it's Saturday afternoon."

Goose bumps all over Lu Xiao's body from being pinched by him, and his whole body turned even more red from earlobes to cheeks.

He knocked off Liang Huaiyu's hand with a snap, "How many times have I told you, don't move."

Liang Huaiyu was really distracted just now, and he didn't realize what he was doing. Seeing Lu Xiao's face flushed, he lowered his voice and coaxed: "Okay, I won't move, I promise not to move."

He said so on the lips, but he held Lu Xiao in his arms and walked out very naturally, "Let's go out first."

Later, Lu Xiao was still exposed to the sun, Liang Huaiyu took him to eat some cold noodles and cold cakes, Lu Xiao didn't have a good appetite, and he was a little listless.

Seeing that Lu Xiao was in such a state, he didn't continue to play with Lu Xiao. He just sent him home and told him to take a bath and rest for a while.

After watching Lu Xiao enter the house, Liang Huaiyu returned to the car and made a call.

"Hello? Dad, I'm going to fall in love."

There was silence for two seconds, "Okay, bring it back for dinner tomorrow."

Liang Huaiyu was stunned for a while, "It's not what you said, it's about to be discussed, it's about to be discussed, isn't this not discussed yet!"

There was another period of silence, and then he opened his mouth a little irritable, "Does it mean I didn't catch up? Then what a fart!"

"No, no," Liang Huaiyu felt that his father seemed to be about to hang up the phone, and hurriedly stopped him, "I just want to learn from you. What did you give to my mother when I confessed my love?"

Liang Huaiyu held the phone and listened very seriously: "The bracelet has been delivered, and it's so vulgar... What does he like? He likes things like handmade things, wood carving or something, doesn't he look like a fairy?" ?”

Hearing his son's smirk, his father felt a little helpless, "I don't know about wood carvings, but there is a charity auction recently, the day after tomorrow, Jiang Yan, you know, he has something to sell."

Liang Huaiyu frowned, "Jiang Yan? Who? Of course I don't know."

His father hates iron for being weak, "Mr. Jiang Songting's grandson, didn't you meet him when you were young?"

He does know that Mr. Jiang is the most famous sculptor in China, but he really doesn't remember seeing his grandson.

"No, I have no impression at all."

"Didn't you go to their house with your grandfather once when you were a child? Didn't you see anyone at that time?"

to his house?

Liang Huaiyu closed his eyes, as if...he had indeed been there, when he was five or six years old.

In my memory, Mr. Jiang was quite kind, but his grandson, Liang Huaiyu thought about it hard, and images flashed through his mind.

Suddenly he opened his eyes, as if he had seen it before, the child was very strange, he didn't come out to meet people and didn't talk, Liang Huaiyu ran upstairs and saw it by accident.

The door of one room was not closed tightly. Liang Huaiyu heard movement inside, so he looked through the crack of the door and saw a child sitting on the ground with hands full of mud or clay. He was playing seriously. A little girl older than him.

He couldn't remember what the little boy looked like now, after all, they hadn't even spoken to each other, and the kid didn't even look up at him.

Liang Huaiyu's only impression of him was that he was quiet. It would be absolutely impossible for him to spend the whole afternoon in his room playing with mud.

"I seem to have a little impression," Liang Huaiyu asked his father while holding the phone, "Is Jiang Yan a little autistic?"

"My ass, people are artists, do you think everyone like you only knows how to run around all day long?"

Liang Huaiyu: "..."

He doesn't care about the artist, he only cares about what gift he can buy for Lu Xiao the day after tomorrow.

He cleared his throat, "Alright, so what will Jiang Yan do the day after tomorrow?"

"I remember it as a jade pendant. I'm busy now. I'll send you the invitation letter and information later. You can decide whether you want to go or not."

Liang Huaiyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."

"Thank you and leave. I just want to say one thing. I just took your mother down back then. Don't embarrass me."

Liang Huaiyu has a plan in mind, he and Lu Xiao are in love with each other.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely faster than you."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Huaiyu quickly received the information from his father's secretary. There was no picture of Jiang Yan himself. It is said that it was relatively low-key, but the jade pendant that came out was quite suitable for Liang Huaiyu's eyes.

The jade is transparent and flexible, and the sculptor's craftsmanship is also very good. It is a jade pendant in the shape of a concentric knot. He touched the picture on the screen, thinking that it happened to be bought the day after tomorrow, and he confessed his love to Lu Xiao after watching a drama on Saturday. .

The more Liang Huaiyu watched it, the more he liked it, and felt that the gift was well chosen.

They Xiao'er are the most suitable for Dai Yu.
