The night before the grade reassessment, many people from Class D and Class F stayed in the classroom all night. Even many people from Class A and Class B stepped into the dormitory door in the middle of the night. People at the bottom of the hierarchy want to climb up, and those at the top of the hierarchy try to keep the position they already have.
Lin Ye was awakened by lights and human voices in the early hours of the morning. He turned over sleepily and raised his arms to cover the dazzling lights above his head. The roommate who turned on the light stopped to look at the upper bunk where he was sleeping, and said without much apology, "So it's your dormitory. Sorry, I didn't see it just now."
Lin Ye hummed lazily, pulled the quilt over his head, and buried his whole face in the quilt.
The sound outside the quilt not only did not decrease, but intensified under the interweaving and ups and downs of human voices and noises. Lin Ye lifted the quilt and sat up, squinting at the wall clock on the wall. The hour and minute hands overlap the number four one long and one short.
The roommates after dancing practice are just starting to line up to take a shower.
The creaking sound of opening the closet, the rattling sound of dragging the chair, the sound of closing the bathroom door, and the chatting and laughing sounds of the remaining roommates sitting around the sofa are endless like the duets of inferior records.
Almost a headache.
He climbed out of bed to drink water with his head up, picked up the down jacket on the back of the chair and wrapped it outside his pajamas, put on his sneakers and walked around a few roommates. The moment the door was opened, the cold winter wind poured into the collar.
Lin Ye flinched, and raised her eyes to see the endless night outside the window at the end of the corridor. Who knows who pushed open the windows in the hallway.
He stomped his feet, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on. Lin Ye wrapped his clothes tightly and walked towards the stairs at the end. Halfway through the walk, the voice-activated lights suddenly went dark. The corridor returned to darkness again. Only a few strands of warm light leaked from the cracks in the dormitory doors on both sides.
Lin Ye walked forward in the dark, but tripped lightly on something in the middle of the road, and the dormitory key loosely hooked on his little finger fell to the ground and quickly rolled into the darkness.
Lin Ye stomped her feet again, hooked the express box thrown in the middle of the corridor with her toes, and squatted down under the dim light to find the key. Two minutes later, I finally saw the key with half of the body inside the door and half of the body outside the door under the door of the dormitory beside me.
With one hand on the door frame, he bent down and stretched his fingers to pick up the key in the crack of the door.
The door supporting the balance of the body was suddenly pulled open.
Lin Ye straightened and fell towards the door, and the person standing behind the door in slippers took a step back unhurriedly. Lin Ye sat firmly on the shoe rug by the door, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Lian standing in the door looking at herself.
Lin Ye turned his eyes away and was speechless when he saw the dormitory number posted on the door. After a long time, he reached out and took out the key that was sitting under him, raised it to Jiang Lian and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any special hobby of sticking to other people's dormitory doors in the middle of the night to eavesdrop, I just want to pick it up under the crack of the door." key."
Ming Rang, who was leaning on the sofa, heard his voice, turned his head and called to where Lin Ye was standing, with a warm and hospitable tone: "Do you want to come in and play, brother?"
Lin Ye subconsciously looked at the warm and bright dormitory in front of him, and even began to suspect for a moment that the night outside the corridor and this dormitory were in different hemispheres of time difference.
He wanted to stand up and refuse, but Jiang Lian turned around and walked in, "Come in and close the door."
Lin Ye paused, swallowed the words that had slipped to her lips, got up from the shoe blanket, and turned around to isolate the dark night and biting cold in the corridor from the door.
Ming Rang held the phone in his hand, patted the empty space between himself and Jiang Lian, and beckoned to him, "Come and sit."
Lin Ye took off his down jacket and put it on the back of the empty chair. After hesitating for a moment, he squeezed in between the two and sat down.
Ming let his body lean over, put one hand on his shoulder, and handed him the phone screen with the other hand, "Which one is more beautiful?"
On the screen is a group photo of the new domestic girl group. Lin Ye took the phone, his eyes lingered on their faces for a few seconds, and finally pointed to the C in the middle, "This one."
Ming Rang held his chin thoughtfully, "Is this the type you like?"
Lin Ye didn't answer, and handed the phone to Jiang Lian, "Take a look."
"You don't need to show Jiang Lian," Ming Rang turned his face, "he's not interested in these things."
Lin Ye smiled when she heard this, and withdrew her hand. But he didn't say, in fact, he wasn't interested in these either.
He slowly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Lian's profile, and suddenly recalled the day he asked Jiang Lian to borrow a hair dryer. He lied at the time, not only was he gay, he had a boyfriend.
He withdrew his thoughts, but bumped his raised elbow against Jiang Lian's shoulder. Ming Rang's cell phone rolled from his palm and fell to the ground. Lin Ye sat up straight and saw a small ball of light falling on Jiang Lian's right leg, but she was sitting on Jiang Lian's left side.
Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, seeing that the other party had no intention of picking up the phone for him, so she bent down sideways, passed her arm under Jiang Lian's knee, and stretched out her fingertips to pick up the phone that was still on.
The actual distance is a little longer than estimated. Lin Ye supported the edge of the sofa with one hand and looked up at him, "Move your leg a little, I can't pick it up."
Jiang Lian was wearing headphones, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he rested one hand on his forehead. Most of his face was hidden in the light and shadow. He looked cold and distant, and he almost didn't directly write his bad mood on his face.
He seemed to have not heard what he said, and seemed to have heard it, but he was too lazy to answer.
When Jiang Lian was standing in the backlight when he entered the door, Lin Ye didn't pay much attention to the expression on the other party's face. It was only at this time that he realized that the other party's eyes were full of fatigue from not sleeping well. Lin Ye instantly realized that the two of them were probably woken up by the trainees who came back in the early morning, so the dormitory was brightly lit in the early morning.
Lin Ye raised her hand and tapped the earphone on Jiang Lian's head, Jiang Lian raised his eyelids to look at him.
Lin Ye pointed to the direction of the ground, raised her voice and said, "Mobile phone."
Only then did Jiang Lian say, "I can hear you."
Then sideways both legs to the right to give him a little room.
Lin Ye leaned over to pick it up again, the phone was clearly in front of her eyes, but she still felt that her arms were not long enough. He tightened his fingertips to reach the edge of the phone, but instead pushed the phone a little further away. Lin Ye finally gradually ran out of patience, and couldn't help but raised her hand and patted Jiang Lian's bent knee, signaling him to move his leg a little further.
The two long legs in front of him remained motionless, and a shadow suddenly fell over his head, covering most of the light in his field of vision.
Supporting Jiang Lian's knee with one hand, Lin Ye raised her head and caught a glimpse of Jiang Lian's face that suddenly approached because of her bending.
The corner of Jiang Lian's lips pressed against his lips and wiped gently.
Lin Ye suddenly opened his eyes wide, full of astonishment.
Jiang Lian was also stunned, as if he hadn't expected it.
The temperature in the dormitory seemed to be raised quietly by someone, and a heat wave surged in the air instantly. The air wave penetrated into the collar of Lin Ye's pajamas and swam against his skin.
Lin Ye was so hot that he was about to sweat.
In the next second, Jiang Lian threw the mobile phone under his fingertips into his arms, and wiped the corners of his lips with his fingertips.
Lin Ye's eyes fell on Jiang Lian's face, and he immediately forgot the warm feeling on his face a second ago, and instead, there was an inexplicable complex emotion in his heart. A moment later, as if with a vengeful mentality, he said pointedly: "Don't worry, I didn't smear anything dirty on my mouth."
Jiang Lian's movements froze, and he finally had a smiling face for the first time that night.
He took off his earphones, and laughed softly under Lin Ye's gaze: "Grandfather."
