Lu Yuan was absent-minded during the whole colored pencil class, thinking about countless possibilities in his mind, but fell into a strange logical circle over and over again.
He sincerely hoped that Ning Xingzhou and Lu Sijin just took the same course by chance, but if it was just a coincidence, how could they know each other
The moment the get out of class bell rang, he picked up his schoolbag and strode out of the classroom. It's useless to think wildly by yourself, it's better to ask Ning Xingzhou to clarify...
"Sijin! Don't hold the paint tray so high, be careful!"
"Haha, I have... ah!!"
With a "bang", accompanied by a scream, Lu Sijin, who had just left the house, bumped into a tall boy, the paint tray was scattered all over the floor, and a large piece was spread on the other's schoolbag.
"Yes... I'm sorry..." Lu Sijin looked at the other party's face as dark as a pot, and apologized tremblingly.
The next moment, she felt her gaze jerk, and the other person was holding her collar against the wall, her pale eyes shone with an extremely cold light, and her hoarse voice was indescribably vicious, "You Looking for death?"
"I... can't I compensate you?" Lu Sijin had never seen this posture before, and felt a sense of panic about being targeted by a poisonous snake, and she was about to cry from fright.
Lu Yuan's left hand holding the strap of the schoolbag tightened slightly, seeing the camouflage cloth bag covered with a large patch of colorful, the hostility in his eyes could hardly be contained, "Compensation? Can you afford it?"
This was a schoolbag given to him by his sweetheart, and he didn't even want to let it get dusty. Hang it next to your bed and watch it fall asleep, every day.
This was his spiritual consolation, but it was ruined by his sister who had the same father as him! He already hated this person extremely, but now he is full of evil thoughts, his head is swollen, and he is full of anger.
"What are you doing!" Sheng Liqun noticed the movement here with sharp eyes, rushed over quickly, and pushed Lu Yuan away violently with the momentum of running.
Lu Yuan staggered, grabbed the boy's wrist reflexively, spun his feet, and exerted force on his hand, almost instinctively wanting to throw the boy over his shoulder.
From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the corner of the studio and met Ning Xingzhou's shocked eyes. With a sudden shock in his heart, he abruptly withdrew his strength and let go of his hand - he had promised Ning Xingzhou not to fight.
The sudden pause was missed by Sheng Liqun. Taking advantage of Lu Yuan's unsteady center of gravity, he slammed his arms hard, pushing Lu Yuan to the ground, and greeted Lu Yuan's face with his fist.
With a firm punch, his cheeks hurt.
Lu Yuan didn't resist, nor did he hide—he was waiting.
Sure enough, before the second punch landed, someone hurriedly stopped him, "Don't hit, don't hit."
Ning Xingzhou was stunned, especially when he saw that it was Lu Yuan who was beaten. This situation seems to have a subtle overlap with the plot of the original book, but there is a big difference.
His head was buzzing and his thoughts were in a mess, so he could only pull Sheng Liqun away according to his instinctive thoughts.
"The teacher is here, the teacher is here." Someone in the crowd called out, and Ning Xingzhou became nervous instantly, looking anxiously at Lu Yuan, and then at the teacher who came over.
The situation didn't develop very seriously this time, so it shouldn't cause the evil consequences of the original book, he thought to himself.
"What are you all doing here? Come and tell me what happened." The painting classroom is in the multimedia teaching building, and a physical education teacher came.
A few classmates with good deeds gathered together, and recounted the incident in detail but embellished it. Although Lu Yuan did not do any substantial harm, he was described as vicious, as if he would have appeared if Sheng Liqun hadn't appeared. The look of something big.
After listening to that person's description, Ning Xingzhou understood the origin of the conflict. His eyes fell on the schoolbag stained with paint, and he vaguely understood what it was.
The physical education teacher was full of black lines, and scolded the three of them one by one, especially Lu Yuan. In the end, Lu Sijin was fined to clean up the oil painting classroom, and Lu Yuan cleaned up the sports equipment room.
Sheng Liqun was popular, and the students around him were inevitably biased. In the end, his hands-on nature became brave, and the teacher only gave him a verbal education.
The teacher also asked Lu Sijin to buy a new schoolbag to compensate Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan refused with a black face. What matters is not the schoolbag itself, but the person who delivers it.
The punishment was much lighter than Ning Xingzhou imagined. Ning Xingzhou watched the teacher leave and heaved a sigh of relief. He took the schoolbag that Lu Yuan had been clutching all the time, and gave him a wink, "Go and clean the equipment room first, I'll think of a way to see if I can wash it off, and I'll look for you later."
"Okay." Lu Yuan looked at Ning Xingzhou for a long time, and responded in a low voice. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ning Xingzhou feels that he is like a beast whose claws have been removed, and there is an inexplicably pitiful aura about him.
The plot development in the original book seemed to be avoided, but he still felt uneasy, and after Lu Yuan left, he made a special trip to apologize to Lu Sijin and Sheng Liqun.
Lu Yuan's ending like that in the original book can be said to be caused by the male protagonist. The power behind the protagonist is huge. Even the protagonist is not a purely good person. He has too much desire for protection and revenge.
But now, the hero and heroine are not at a disadvantage. As long as their attitudes are relaxed, no matter how big the hero is, he has no position to make things difficult for Lu Yuan. What's more, although the heroine is silly and sweet, she also knows who is at fault.
Fight when it is time to fight, and retreat when it is time to retreat.
He knew very well that as long as he was willing to persuade, Lu Yuan would even apologize to those two people according to his wishes. But...he also knew the relationship between Lu Yuan and Lu Sijin, if he really did this, Lu Yuan would be too wronged.
That being the case, I will let the other party go for a while and let him do it for me...
Oil paints are difficult to clean, it takes a long time, and the tools are not complete. After tossing for a long time, the color just faded and I couldn't clean it up.
Ning Xingzhou thought about it, and went to get his own palette, and drew a cartoon head in camouflage uniform on the stained part of his schoolbag, with cold brows and unruly expression, just like Lu Yuan anthropomorphic cartoon.
Ning Xingzhou was satisfied, carefully carried his schoolbag strap, went to the infirmary to prescribe some medicine, and then trotted to the sports equipment room.
…
The equipment room has accumulated dust for a long time, and there is a musty smell everywhere. All kinds of balls were thrown on the ground in a mess, and he bent over and got up again and again, mechanically returning them to their original positions.
He didn't know what his deskmate would think of him. If he said that he didn't do anything, would he believe it? Will he be angry because of his bad attitude towards Lu Sijin
Every few minutes, he would look towards the door of the equipment room. Feeling uneasy, but looking forward to the other party's appearance, even if he blamed him angrily, he would be happy with it.
Finally, he raised his eyes inadvertently one time, and saw the figure engraved in his memory. The other party was pulling at the door of the equipment room, poking out a small head, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, "Hey, I'm here La! Miss me?"
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, that delicate face was as beautiful as a painting, making Lu Yuan unable to look away.
"I want to, I really want to." Lu Yuan's eyes followed him all the time, watching him jumping to his side, he suddenly wanted to reach out and hug him, but he held back.
Ning Xingzhou carried his schoolbag behind his back, and when he walked in front of Lu Yuan, he suddenly took it out, and shook it in front of Lu Yuan's eyes. His eyebrows and eyes were raised, and his expression couldn't be hidden, "Dang Dang Dang! Look! You are amazing at the same table. Let's go~"
The combination of cute cartoon characters and camouflage is a strange combination, but it also has an indescribable sense of harmony. Most importantly, he could tell that this was drawn by his deskmate.
Lu Yuan only felt his head buzzing, as if setting off fireworks. After a brief moment of stupefaction, what came to my heart was uncontrollable ecstasy.
"Very powerful." He took the brand-new schoolbag from Ning Xingzhou, his fingertips trembled slightly, and even his voice trembled, "I thought... you would be very angry."
"Oh, I know I'll be mad at you for still doing that." Ning Xingzhou poked his face deliberately, and poked Lu Yuan's shoulder with his fingertips, "Isn't it just that the schoolbag is dirty, just buy a new one, why are you so excited .”
Lu Yuan lowered his eyes, with thousands of emotions hidden in his heart, he tightly pinched the strap of the handbag, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is from you."
Because it has something to do with you, ordinary things will become extremely rare.
Ning Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed involuntarily, "That's not okay, the factor of violence is unacceptable, let alone she is a girl."
It's just that this girl has a special status, so it's no wonder that Lu Yuan is so sensitive, half father and half mother, but have a completely different life, seeing her, will impress himself in embarrassment. Ning Xingzhou looked at Lu Yuan with drooping eyes, and found it difficult to say any more words of reproach.
He sighed, and said helplessly, "Why didn't you fight back when you were beaten? Is it because of me?"
Because he promised him not to fight, he stopped at the critical moment, didn't hit anyone, and didn't even fight back. Maybe he is the opportunity to change the plot, but the one who really changes the future is actually Lu Yuan himself.
He noticed.
Lu Yuan tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise crazily, and kept his voice as calm as possible, "Well, I promised you something, and I don't want to break my promise."
"You really... At least you have to protect your face." Ning Xingzhou gave him a reproachful look, and couldn't help laughing, "But, it's not bad if you can take what I say to heart."
He pulled Lu Yuan to find a place to sit down, took out a cotton swab from his pocket, applied some povidone iodine to disinfect the wound, and put an ice cube wrapped in gauze on the slightly swollen half of his face, "Rest first." Yes, reduce the swelling."
"En." The corners of Lu Yuan's lips curled up, and he stared straight at Ning Xingzhou, his heart softened in a mess. The distance was so close that he could even feel the soft breathing of the other party.
"At the same table." He called softly. The classmates have various names for Ning Xingzhou, but he likes to call him Deskmate the most, which seems intimate and special.
"Huh?" Ning Xingzhou tilted his head to look at him.
Lu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked back at the other party, with turbulent emotions in his eyes, as if a layer of light had been quenched, dyeing those pale pupils with a passionate light and shadow. He lowered his voice and murmured, "You are so kind."
Very ordinary words, but with such affectionate eyes and tone of voice, it is indescribably weird. A suspicious blush appeared on Ning Xingzhou's face, and he looked away guiltily, at a loss.
Suddenly, with a "click", Ning Xingzhou shuddered and broke free from the strange atmosphere. He raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan in dismay, "What... what's wrong?"
Lu Yuan stood up, took the initiative to hold the ice on his face with the back of his hand, and went over several cabinet shelves to poke outside.
The door of the equipment room was closed tightly, and he vaguely understood something. But he didn't feel worried or afraid. On the contrary, a strange and morbid expectation arose in his heart, "The door of the equipment room...is locked."
He and Ning Xingzhou can't get out for the time being.

Cough, I didn’t expect everyone to be so excited. I modified it a little bit and added some thinking process _(:з」∠)_
(Maybe I thought I had explained it after I made up my brain, so I wrote the result directly. I didn’t expect everyone’s anger value to be so high_(:з」∠)_)
