Qi Anan saw Jiang Lu staring at him blankly, as if he hadn't reacted, maybe it was because she startled him by her sudden appearance, and now he was stunned, with an innocent look on his face.
For some reason, Qi An'an's worried heart relaxed a little, this is Jiang Lu she knew.
"Jiang Lu, why are you standing here?" Qi An'an was afraid that she would be late, and Jiang Lu had already returned to the dormitory. Twenty minutes had passed since receiving Yu Tianyang's message, and Jiang Lu was standing here alone.
I didn't have dinner again, and I felt pitiful.
Jiang Lu clenched his hands behind his back tightly. Although the place is facing the window, he wasn't sure if the smell of smoke had dissipated from his body: "It's nothing, you can go."
His voice was low, he just hoped that Qi An'an would leave quickly, people would become greedy if they had too many sweet dreams.
Of course Qi Anan didn't leave, he smiled at him, and passed the wonton forward: "Jiang Lu, are you hungry? Please eat wonton."
She couldn't say that she bought it for him specially, she rubbed her nose and explained: "I bought too much, I wanted to go back to the dormitory and share it with everyone, but the girls in the dormitory said it was too late to lose weight, no one would Don’t eat it. Wouldn’t it be a waste? Do me a favor, let’s eat together, okay?”
Jiang Lu knew that he should refuse. He was walking alone in the abyss, but the person who was most reluctant to follow followed him ignorantly.
She didn't know the danger yet, he could pull her into the abyss as soon as he stretched out his hand.
But to be able to harden her heart twice was already a miracle.
The dim light fell on the little girl's clean cheeks, warm and soft. Reason was still a step behind, Jiang Lu had already nodded before he knew it.
Seeing that Jiang Lu didn't refuse, Qi Anan immediately unpacked it happily. There were no tables and chairs here, so Qi Anan sat directly on the highest step and patted the seat next to him: "Come and sit."
Jiang Lu sighed helplessly, turned his face away, took off his coat after hesitation, folded it casually and walked over: "Get up on the mat, it's too cold."
The night in September was still a bit chilly, and Jiang Lu was only wearing a half-sleeved shirt underneath. Qi Anan didn't move, and urged him: "Put on your coat, don't catch a cold."
Jiang Lu said, "You don't want me to leave."
If Qi An'an was to sit with him on the cold steps, he would rather not have this time.
Qi Anan saw that Jiang Lu's expression didn't look like she was joking at all, so she obediently stood up and asked Jiang Lu to put her coat on the steps she had just sat on.
Jiang Lu just sat next to her, and Qi Anan passed the wonton over: "Eat quickly."
Jiang Lu took it in silence. The freshly cooked wontons felt scalding in the palm of his hand. Through the wisps of white air, Jiang Lu whispered, "Eat, I'm not hungry."
How could she eat what he touched.
"You eat first, actually I'm full from dinner, this is supper, you can eat it or not," Qi Anan looked at him with a smile, "It would be even better if you could eat it all, they are all so persistent Even eating, I can hold back."
Her smile was really dazzling in the dark corridor, Jiang Lu lowered his head again, the warm and fragrant steam slowly spread on his face, and he slightly curled the corners of his lips at an angle that Qi Anan couldn't see.
Qi An accompanied Jiang Lu quietly, she didn't rush him, and didn't ask any urgent questions, she just sat beside him silently. When Jiang Lu finished eating, Qi Anan wanted to take the lid aside to clean it up, but Jiang Lu took it away first. He put away the takeaway box and threw it away before walking back.
"Jiang Lu." Qi An'an organized his words for a while, and finally asked him carefully, "Is there anything unhappy about you recently? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Lu curled his hands on his knees. He knew that Qi Anan had something to ask him, so he waited and did not leave. It's just... She didn't ask him why he fought, or why he became what he is now, but asked him why he was unhappy.
How should he answer
Jiang Lu couldn't help feeling weak in his heart, and when he spoke, his voice softened unconsciously: "I have nothing unhappy about it."
After a pause, he asked, "Are you disappointed that I am like this now?"
Qi Anan quickly shook his head and denied: "No, no, don't think about it, I'm not disappointed. I know you hit someone named Yu before because he disrespected you first, so you should beat him. Also The one I met in the alley last time, um... Although I don’t know the cause and effect, but he asked so many people to block you, if you weren’t very good, you would definitely suffer. It’s also his fault that he doesn’t talk about martial arts. "
Hearing Qi An'an's serious analysis, Jiang Lu couldn't help laughing. For the first time in such a long time, he showed a smile from the bottom of his heart, even a little smile in his eyes.
He had a really nice smile, but it was a pity that it faded away too quickly. Before Qi An'an could see clearly, he returned to his usual cool and calm appearance.
She had no choice but to continue: "If someone bullies you, you should beat him until he doesn't have the guts anymore. That's good. How can I be disappointed?"
Qi Anan hugged his knees and looked at Jiang Lu, his eyes were bright and soft, "I'm just worried that you are not happy. If you have any difficulties and troubles, if you don't mind, you can tell me."
Jiang Lu silently stared into Qi An'an's eyes, the moon was hanging high outside the window, her eyes were more moving than the moonlight.
Finally, he shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm not that vulnerable."
Jiang Lu found a suitable reason to comfort her: "I really have nothing to do, and I don't care much about which class I'm in. I can't balance school and painting during this period of time. It's fine to finish this part, and I'm fine."
Qi An'an blinked, Jiang Lu said it too lightly, but it still gave her a heavy feeling. She felt a little sad, Jiang Lu was different from other peers, he didn't have the protection of his parents, he had to support himself, and he had to stay up late at work, it was indeed too hard.
But in such a situation, she didn't know how to help him.
After much deliberation, she thought it's better to come a little bit, she pursed her lips and said, "Then... I want you to promise me one thing."
Jiang Lu didn't expect her to say this, and opened his lips slightly: "What's the matter?"
He promised her everything.
"Stop smoking in the future, okay? Smoking hurts your body." Qi Anan looked at Jiang Lu and made a serious proposal.
She still smelled it, and only waited until he had finished eating before saying so. Jiang Lu felt sore, and nodded slightly: "Okay, stop smoking."
He quickly agreed, Qi An'an's eyes lit up, and he said, "Smoking should be because you are in a bad mood. If you are in a bad mood next time, don't smoke. You can...you can call me."
They are friends, and she is willing to listen to him, if not, she can still be with him.
Jiang Lu looked at Qi An'an for a while, then turned his head away: "Stop looking at me like that."
His voice was hoarse and deep, with imperceptible forbearance.
It is not Qi Yan's threat, nor his own conscience that firmly restrains him, but the beautiful girl in front of him. Such a good An'an should not be contaminated by people like him.
"Jiang Lu, I'm not..." Qi An'an didn't know what his expression was just now, for fear that Jiang Lu would misunderstand that she was sympathizing with him, and was about to explain, but suddenly there was a stern voice in his ear:
"Those two over there! Which class?! What are you doing there if you don't go back to the dormitory at night!?"
Qi An'an has been a good boy since he was a child. When he heard the standard voice of the teaching director, his first reaction was to run.
Her mind went blank, she pulled Jiang Lu and ran away.
Jiang Lu's heart sank, it would be fine if it was two boys or two girls, one boy and one girl couldn't tell at all. Puppy love in school has to be recorded on the bulletin board, so it doesn't matter how he does it, but he absolutely can't bear Qi Anan to be on the bulletin board with him, and it's because of this reason.
The two people's brain circuits are surprisingly consistent, but the direction is different. Jiang Lu originally wanted to lead Qi Anan upstairs, but he hesitated when he reached out to hold Qi Anan, but this hesitation made Qi Anan grab him first With his hand, she stood up and ran downstairs.
"Don't run!!"
The teacher behind him roared and started to chase with a flashlight. The sound of "kuang kuang kuang" footsteps seemed to be stepping on people's hearts.
Qi An'an ran to the second floor and wanted to go down, but Jiang Lu stretched out his hand and pulled him back: "An'an! The small door is locked at eight o'clock in the evening."
Qi Anan only felt a big red exclamation mark flashed in front of his eyes, didn't he run to a dead end? Let people just come to catch a turtle in an urn.
Since you can't go down, run into the corridor and go down the stairs on the other side!
This time Jiang Lu saw Qi Anan's intentions, but the teacher's footsteps upstairs were already very close, so he led Qi Anan to the water room at the corner of the second floor: "It's too late, hide for a while."
There is a mezzanine behind the door panel of the water room with a small gap, which will accommodate two people. Jiang Lu pushed Qi An'an in first, he looked at the gap in front of him, hesitantly pursed his lips.
What time is it still in a daze! Qi Anan was in a hurry: "What are you doing, come in!"
She pulled Jiang Lu in.
