When we came out of Professor Xia's studio, the sun was setting in the west.
Raising his wrist to check the time, Gu Yebai frowned slightly. He had an appointment with that girl, but was called over by Professor Xia at short notice. He was nearly two hours late from the appointment. He had missed the appointment first. How could she still be downstairs in his dormitory? Wait for him.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his running pace slowly stopped - he should apologize to her tomorrow.
When he returned to the North Second Building, he did not see her, but he still looked around again before entering.
"Gu Yebai, after all, I've been waiting for you for two hours, and you can't give me even a minute?" As soon as he stepped onto the steps, a voice came from behind quickly.
He was slightly shaken and turned back immediately.
Under the setting sun, the girl wore a white ankle-length skirt and ran towards him, covering her chest. Her soft black hair was spread over her shoulders. Her eyebrows were crooked and she looked at him aggrievedly. She walked very quickly, panting slightly.
Her dark eyes were full of accusations, and the sunlight dyed them gorgeous and naughty.
At this moment, he didn’t know that this scene, her smiling face, just one glance, would be engraved in his mind forever. No matter how far in the future, time would disappear, like an extremely stubborn vine, in his memory, Her smile has never faded away.
"I'm sorry." He breathed out.
"Should you give me an explanation?" She glared at him.
"Have you eaten? I'll treat you to dinner to apologize." He hesitated and asked.
His tone was a bit harsh. Youyan was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Gu Yebai, I guess you rarely invite people to dinner."
Gu Yebai couldn't speak for a while.
"Otherwise, why does it seem like I owe you the treat even though it's you?" She snorted softly, "I won't go."
Gu Yebai was slightly startled, his eyes tightly grasping her. Youyan's face felt a little hot and he turned his head slightly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she said, "I won't be as arrogant as someone."
Gu Yebai suddenly let go of something that was hanging in her heart. Suddenly, she took out the thing hidden behind her back like a treasure.
That was two box lunches. There's also...his share
"Gu Yebai, I've been waiting for you for a long, long time." She whispered with a hint of grievance.
"I won't make you wait anymore." He blurted out.
As soon as the words came out, Gu Yebai realized something was wrong and shook the hand hanging on the side of his pants heavily.
Youyan didn't think too much and said with a smile: "I didn't wait for you, so I went to buy food first."
"What will happen to you if I never come?" He stared at her and asked.
"Wait, what else?" she asked, as if he had asked a strange question.
"Wait?" He repeated the word slowly.
"You don't seem like someone who breaks an appointment casually. Besides, it's you who made the appointment with me, and I'm even less likely to break the appointment, unless something delays me. I guessed it right?" She said with a smile, without any doubt in her eyes.
"Don't be so sure, you don't understand me."
The familiar irritability came uninvited, and Gu Yebai lowered his eyes slightly.
"I said, Student Gu, are you hinting to me that you will miss your appointment again? Didn't you say that you won't make me wait again in the future?" She walked up to him and stared at him.
"No." The corners of Gu Yebai's lips curled up unconsciously, and the embarrassment and coldness just now disappeared, "Let's go."
"Where to go?" She shook the thing in her hand.
He took the plastic bag and said calmly: "You can't climb the nine flights of stairs last time. Now you have a chance to experience it."
"Going to your dormitory?" Youyan was stunned, but she was still happy to be invited by this weirdo as a friend, but she said something bad, "You are not a bad person, are you?"
Gu Yebai smiled and reached out to rub her hair.
Youyan immediately blushed, stayed for a moment, and ran away first.
Realizing what he had done, Gu Yebai looked at his hands and frowned slightly.
*
Gu Yebai's dormitory was kept very neat and tidy, without any of the sloppiness typical of boys. It was simply cleaner than their girls' dormitory. One living room and one room, with new and complete furniture, and a small balcony.
Youyan looked at it and couldn't help but whisper, "Gu Yebai, the environment here is great."
"So silver is also very expensive." Someone walked out of the bedroom with a smile.
"Who?" Youyan was shocked.
"Beauty, what grade are you in?" The baby-faced boy is also tall and has a nice smile.
"Second grade." Seeing that Gu Yebai didn't look surprised, Youyan guessed it was his classmate, so he answered honestly.
"It's our first time meeting you, junior fellow student. I'm polite. I'm your third grade senior, Lin Ziyan, and Gu Yebai's classmate. Come on, junior fellow student, let's shake hands." Lin Ziyan rushed forward in a few steps.
Youyan was frightened by the senior's enthusiasm and hid behind Gu Yebai.
"What's wrong with you coming to my place?" Gu Yebai glanced at the other party.
"I ran out of paint."
Before Lin Ziyan finished speaking, a box of cold objects was stuffed into his hand. Gu Yebai gave him a look that said, "You can get out now."
Lin Ziyan snorted coldly and said, "Senior sister, let's play next time."
"I won't play with you." Youyan shrank behind Gu Yebai again.
This was the first time that Gu Yebai brought a girl back to the dormitory. He could count the number of times this guy greeted girls on his five fingers. Lin Ziyan was still immersed in huge shock. Seeing Lian Youyan's fun, he stepped sideways. As soon as he crossed, still wanting to tease her, Gu Yebai said, "Ziyan, I have something to tell you."
Lin Ziyan was slightly confused and stopped.
Gu Yebai stretched out his hand, grabbed Lin Ziyan's collar, pushed with his backhand, and immediately closed the door.
A series of clean and neat movements, Youyan was dumbfounded.
"Sit down," he said.
Youyan nodded and sat down on the small sofa obediently.
