Lian Tingyu had been waiting for the sound of the phone being hung up. He didn't know how long he waited, and finally he fell asleep in a daze.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, the moon and stars were sparse, Lian Tingyu woke up from his dream, the room was pitch black, he touched the phone with trembling hands, the faint light of the screen made him feel that he was finally alive.

Everyone else in the dormitory fell asleep quietly. Lian Tingyu picked up the phone and took a look, only to find that the phone screen was still on the call interface.

Before going to bed yesterday, he made a phone call with Lian Feng. Unexpectedly, the man never hung up. Could it be that he fell asleep too?

Lian Tingyu stared at a small piece of white light on the ceiling in a daze for a while, then fell asleep again, Lian Tingyu fell asleep with his mobile phone in his arms, this time he did not have nightmares, and stayed up all night until dawn.

At seven in the morning, Lian Tingyu woke up again. He unlocked his phone, turned his head, and opened one eye—the screen was still on the call interface. Lian Tingyu quickly got up and went into the bathroom.

It is said that this mobile phone is very waterproof. Lian Tingyu put the handset of the mobile phone next to the faucet and turned on the valve. The sound of rushing water seemed a bit ethereal in the spacious bathroom.

Lian Tingyu put on the earphones, and there was a faint voice from the earphones: "Are you awake?"

The man's voice was very soft, as if he was whispering softly against himself, Lian Tingyu couldn't help shrinking back: "Well...why haven't you hung up the phone?"

"I heard you fell asleep, and I was afraid to wake you up."

Lian Tingyu was silent for a while: "Yes."

In fact, he wanted to say that he had turned off the notification sound for the end of the call, but he felt that there was no need to say such a trivial matter.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Not very good." Lian Tingyu pursed his lips. He was afraid of the dark, but he couldn't sleep with the lights on in a public place like a dormitory.

"I slept well." A smiling man's voice came from the opposite side.

He didn't even reply to Tingyu, he simply washed up.The bathroom door opened suddenly, and a fair-skinned boy walked in. He was startled when he saw him here, and stammered, "You, hello."

Lian Tingyu remembered him, his name was Zhang Ning, and he was his roommate.

Lian Tingyu nodded, "Good morning."

Zhang Ning stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do or what to say, his face turned red.In fact, even listening is awkward, but if someone is more embarrassed than him, he will not be embarrassed.

"I'm going to have breakfast...do I need to bring you breakfast?" Lian Tingyu tried to relieve Zhang Ning's tension, but just as he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle from the earphones.

Zhang Ning stammered: "No, no, no, I still have to go home today, and I will take a car in a while."

Lian Tingyu hummed, walked out of the bathroom, and looked at the alarm clock hanging on the wall of the dormitory: "I hung up, you go for a morning run."

Lian Feng's smiling voice sounded from the other end: "Don't hang up, you go downstairs."

Lu Qun was about to say hello to his handsome and beautiful new classmate, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, the new classmate ran away from him as fast as flying.

Lu Qun: ...

Lian Tingyu's dormitory was on the fourth floor. He ran to the corner of the stairs on the first floor in one breath, stopped to breathe slowly, and walked out of the building slowly until his breath subsided.

There are many magnolia trees planted outside Building No. 1 of the boys' dormitory. When the door of the building is opened, the morning and the fragrance come to the face at the same time.

Lian Feng was standing under one of the magnolia trees. He was wearing a wine red silk shirt today. The unusual bright color added some color to the man's stern eyebrows and eyes.

Lian Tingyu was stunned for a moment, and walked over slowly: "Why are you dressed like this?"

He was wearing a rose-red sweater today, and his lips seemed to have crushed rose juice. Lian Feng pulled him over and pulled the drawstring on his hat:

"Why are you dressed like this?"

Seeing the smile on his face, Lian Tingyu suddenly thought of something: "You laugh at me."

Lian Feng pinched his face: "Didn't you want to wear brother clothes?"

Lian Tingyu shook his head: "I didn't mean that. When my roommate greeted me just now, I heard you laugh."

Lian Feng hooked the corner of his mouth: "I didn't laugh at you."

Even Tingyu didn't believe the man's words at all, and looked up to observe his expression.He was embraced by Lian Feng, and the distance between the two of them was so close that Lian Feng could count his eyelashes clearly, and he could also see the faint bruises under the man's eyes.

He obviously didn't sleep well, and when he called in the morning, he lied to himself that he slept well.But even Tingyu didn't sleep well, he thought for a while, and said, "I think I should buy a bed curtain and a night light."

He needs a bed curtain that can block the light, and he can sleep with the night light on at night without disturbing his roommates.

Yesterday, he only memorized the general locations of the teaching buildings, dormitory restaurants and other buildings, and he hadn't had time to look for the shops and courier points in the school.

Lian Tingyu looked around, and suddenly saw an unexpected person - Lian Feng's assistant, Liu Qi.

Lian Tingyu retreated from Lian Feng's embrace with a snap, and stood aside with a stern face and stiff body.

Lian Feng glanced at Liu Qi indifferently.

Liu Qi pushed his glasses nonchalantly, but secretly complained in his heart.As soon as he came over, he saw Mr. Lian holding the boy in his arms, and the boy obediently let him pinch his cheek.

The atmosphere between the two was too harmonious, like a picture scroll, Liu Qi didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to stand aside.

well.

Liu Qi walked over with the bed tent in his arms, and handed it to Lian Tingyu: "President Lian asked me to order a bed tent a few days ago, and I just finished it today."

Lian Tingyu's eyebrows twitched when he heard the word custom, and he thought it was a luxurious bed curtain inlaid with gold and silver.Liu Qi came over and handed him the bed curtain, and even took a quick look at Tingyu—there was nothing special about it, it looked quite normal.

Lian Tingyu sighed, working in a milk tea shop for too long, and listening to Tiancai's stories about various wealthy novels every day, he was still brainwashed.

He carried the bed tent back to the dormitory, and when he came down again, he found that Liu Qi was no longer there.

Lian Feng noticed his gaze and explained: "The company has something to do, so he went back first."

Lian Tingyu looked at the time displayed on the phone, pursed his lips and said, "Then you should go back to the company, I'm going to have breakfast."

"Not urgent."

"Oh." Lian Tingyu pulled his clothes, and if there was time, they could go shopping for a night light together.

"I have time to accompany you to buy a night light."

"..." Lian Tingyu's face became serious again, and he retorted, "I didn't ask you to accompany me to buy a night light."

Lian Feng smiled: "You didn't ask for it, I asked for it."

"Anyway, don't always guess my mind." Lian Tingyu walked forward dully.

"etc."

Lian Feng's tone was a little eager, Lian Tingyu stopped and turned around, and found the man standing there, looking at him with a half-smile: "Little monster, do you want to hold hands today?"

Lian Feng originally thought that the duplicity of the little cat demon would turn into anger, but he didn't expect him to stand still and think for a while.

After careful consideration, the little cat demon said, "No."

So cute.

Lian Feng walked over and pinched his ear tips, and Lian Tingyu pushed him away inexplicably: "The supermarket is already open at this point, don't waste time, hurry up and buy a night light."

Lian Feng patted his head again, Lian Tingyu paused, this time he didn't dodge.

There are many flowering trees planted in the school. When the wind blows, every road is full of fragrance.The morning sun passes through the gaps between the flowers, as if the sunlight is also infected with the fragrance of the flowers.

The first three days of school are all reporting time, and there are many people coming and going on the road today.Quite a few people looked at them, Lian Tingyu frowned, and leaned closer to Lian Feng.

They soon came to the supermarket outside the restaurant, just like many school supermarkets. There was a hot dog machine at the counter at the entrance, and the hot dog machine was filled with fragrant sausages and fish balls.

Lian Tingyu smelled the aroma of grilled sausages, and walked over without squinting, looking for the daily necessities area.Small electrical appliances such as desk lamps were placed on the last shelf. He walked over to pick up a moon-shaped night light, but turned around to find that the man hadn't followed.

Lian Tingyu went around the shelf and looked back, and a small paper bag suddenly appeared in front of him, which contained grilled sausages and fish balls.

Wearing a wine-red silk shirt, the man with a cold and alienated demeanor is holding a bunch of grilled sausages and two skewers of fish balls in his hands. This picture is actually a bit inconsistent.

Lian Tingyu took the bag, with an indiscernible arc on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you. What do you think of this night light?"

Lian Feng connected the night light, Lian Tingyu opened his hand, took out the sausage from the bag and took a bite, it was very fragrant, just as he imagined.

"Wait for me." Lian Tingyu left after leaving a sentence, and soon he came back, holding a roast sausage he bought in his hand.

He raised the newly bought sausage to Lianfeng's mouth: "Take a bite."

Lian Feng turned his head, Lian Tingyu grabbed his arm to prevent him from moving: "Take a bite."

Lian Feng had no choice but to wrap his arms around the boy's wrist, and took a bite of his hand.

Lian Tingyu withdrew his hand in satisfaction, and was about to taste the fish balls when someone behind him called his name.He turned his head and found Lu Qun and the others walking together.

When he was studying in the past, Lian Tingyu had never talked to his classmates in school, except for necessary communication. He was a little embarrassed, so he had to seal the letter: "This is my brother."

A teenage boy would be at a loss when he saw someone who was a parent, and even Ting Yu's elder brother was prettier than a celebrity, so Lu Qun said very unnaturally, "Hello, elder brother."

Lian Tingyu looked up at him.

Zhang Ning's face was flushed, and he wished he could shrink into the cracks of the floor, but he scratched his head happily and honestly: "Hi brother, my name is Gao Xing, and I'm Lian Tingyu's roommate."

Lu Qun also introduced himself, and introduced Zhang Ning again.Lian Feng saw their embarrassment and smiled: "You guys talk first, I'll go to pay the bill."

After Lian Feng walked away, Lu Qun patted his chest: "Lian Tingyu, your brother's aura is too strong, handsome and tall, it makes people feel inferior, by the way, what's your brother's name?"

Lian Tingyu looked up at him: "My brother's name is Lian Feng."

"Why does this sentence sound so strange?" Lu Qun said casually, "But I just saw you eating grilled sausages, you are so cute, it's like eating grilled sausages for the first time, it's very contagious, lookI want to eat it all."

Gao Xing said: "Nonsense, is there anyone in this society who hasn't eaten a two-yuan sausage? That's too pitiful."

"It's not important." Lu Qun lowered his head to look for his wallet from his schoolbag, "What's important is that I'm going to treat you to grilled sausages, two grilled sausages and two strings of fish balls per person, how many strings do you eat... Lian Tingyulanguage?"

I was happy to pat him on the shoulder: "You were too absorbed in what you said and didn't hear it. Even the listener said that he was in a hurry and left first."

"Let's go..." Lu Qun was a little regretful, he still wanted to get closer to his new classmates.

Lian Tingyu walked to the entrance of the supermarket and found that Lian Feng had already paid the bill.He ran over, glanced at the things in the shopping bag, and said with a straight face: "I don't like the cat-shaped night light, I like the moon-shaped one."

Lian Feng squeezed the transparent cat ears of the little night lamp, the meaning of liking is self-evident.

Lian Tingyu couldn't help covering his ears. When he was a little black cat, he was hugged by men on his lap every day, pinching his ears and pads like this, but he just didn't like this little night light.

Lian Tingyu insisted, "I want a moon-shaped night light."

Lian Feng scratched the angry kitten's chin: "What's wrong?"

His careless actions and tone made Lian Tingyu a little unhappy, and he accused: "Just now Lu Qun and the others called you brother, you nodded."

Lian Feng looked at him with great interest, and Lian Tingyu became even angrier: "Brother, you can't call him casually, because you are just my brother, not someone else's brother. They are minors and ignorant, so just call them.”

Lian Tingyu said with a straight face: "But how can you nod? You are an adult."

"Oh—" Lian Feng dragged his voice lazily, admitting his mistake without hesitation, "I was wrong."

Lian Tingyu nodded dissatisfied, and reluctantly took the night light in Lianfeng's hand.

In fact, the night light in the shape of a cat is not bad.

Lian Feng stopped suddenly, took out his phone and glanced at it: "Qiao Jinnan..."

Lian Tingyu poked his head over: "What's wrong, Brother Qiao?"

——Brother can’t be called casually.

Lian Tingyu shut his mouth and stopped talking, Lian Feng raised his eyebrows.

The two walked to the restaurant together, bought breakfast with Lian Tingyu's meal card, and took Lian Feng to a corner where there were fewer people.

Lian Feng suddenly said, "Make good friends at school."

Lian Tingyu turned his head and looked at the people sitting together eating in twos and threes: "I will."

After hesitating for a while, he said again: "After school starts, I can only go home once a week. Without me watching, you should eat well."

Lian Feng responded casually.

The atmosphere suddenly became gloomy for some reason, the two ate breakfast in silence, went to the stationery store together to buy notebooks and school supplies in silence, and even bought a lot of snacks for the people in their dormitory.

When he returned to the downstairs of the dormitory again, the shadow of the magnolia tree had quietly become a little shorter, and Lian Tingyu pursed his lips: "You go back."

The young man stood under the tree, his body covered by a tree shadow.His voice was faintly scattered in the wind, like a bowl of white water filled with azure glaze, rippling with clear light.

Lian Feng hooked the corner of his mouth: "Make good friends at school."

He was wearing a wine red shirt today, which made him pale and calm.Lian Tingyu withdrew his gaze from the man, and responded, "Yes."

Lian Feng waved his hand, turned around the woods, and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.Lian Tingyu stood under the magnolia tree, staring at his back for a while.

The items he was carrying in his hand were all selected by Lian Feng himself, and even his bed curtains were custom-made.Lian Tingyu thought of the faint bruises under the man's eyes. In fact, this man didn't sleep well last night.

President Lian always has an elegant, courteous, dignified and detached appearance, but he is gloomy, melancholy, and insecure, which only Lian Tingyu knows.

Lian Tingyu ran upstairs, spent half a day fixing the bed curtains, placed a cat-shaped night light by the bed, took a photo and sent it to Lian Feng.

The mobile phone on the table rang softly, and Qiao Jinnan raised her chin: "Don't you see who sent you a message?"

Lian Feng casually put down the water glass: "Don't look at it."

Qiao Jinnan held her chin: "Then let's get on with the business. Didn't I tell you before that I've always felt in a trance recently, and my memory is still inexplicably missing? Then I asked Dr. Feng to check me up."

"In the end, guess what, Dr. Feng not only didn't find any problems, he even said that my body has become better."

Qiao Jinnan sighed: "My parents thought I was suffering from depression again, and only let me go out when I heard you asked me out. It reminded me of that painful past."

Lian Feng pulled the corner of his lower lip: "If the past makes you feel painful, then destroy it."

"...It's easy for you to say, how can such illusory things in the past be destroyed?" Qiao Jinnan sighed helplessly, "It would be great if I wasn't born in Qiao's family."

The moment these words came out of his mouth, Qiao Jinnan was taken aback for a moment, he felt as if he had said such words a long time ago.

Qiao Jinnan looked up at Lian Feng: "You and I met when we were seventeen, right?"

After getting the answer, Qiao Jinnan asked again: "Then have you heard what I said before?"

Lian Feng said lightly: "If you can't destroy it, just hold it firmly in the palm of your hand."

Qiao Jinnan: ...

He glanced at Lian Feng who was full of smiles: "What did I ask, and what did you answer... What happened to you? Why is the whole person suddenly cloudy and sunny?"

Lian Feng suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I gave you a business card, you can contact him."

Qiao Jinnan poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Lian Feng, and couldn't help laughing: "Who can stand your commanding tone, don't let me be full of children and grandchildren in the future, you are still alone."

For some reason, Qiao Jinnan has been very emotional recently. He patted Lian Feng on the shoulder: "You are my only brother. I still hope that you can completely let go of the past and live a better life."

Lian Feng pushed his hand away and smiled slightly: "Brother...you can't call him casually."

Qiao Jinnan almost rolled his eyes, and was about to say something, when suddenly he felt an extremely strong gaze, Qiao Jinnan turned his head.

However, he saw nothing, only the wind chimes hanging on the door rang softly in the wind.

The third day is the last day of school reports, and the opening ceremony will be held today.

Lu Qun kicked the bed lightly with his foot while playing games: "Lian Tingyu, do you want to attend the opening ceremony?"

"no thank you."

Lu Qun continued: "The key high schools always give people a very serious feeling, but our school is actually quite good. The vice principal's speech is very interesting. Fuck, this idiot shooter put down his bowl and scolded his mother, let's see if I don't sell you..."

Gao Xing poked his head out wearing glasses: "The opening ceremony for the first year of high school is held in the auditorium, and if you want to go for the second and third year, you can also go."

Lian Tingyu turned over and got up: "Thank you, I'm not very interested."

He set up the bed table, opened the textbook, opened the notebook, and glanced at the phone.

He flipped through a page of his textbook, took a line of notes, and glanced at his phone again—the phone suddenly turned on.

Lian Tingyu threw the phone under the table and continued to review his homework. After ten minutes, he slowly climbed out of bed, walked to the window, and found the man standing under the tree.

Lian Tingyu found a white shirt from the closet, hesitated for a while and changed into a light blue jacket.

A voice came from the stairs, Lian Feng raised his head.

Lian Tingyu walked over with big strides, and said bluntly, "Why didn't you reply when I sent you a message?"

Lian Feng lowered his eyes and said softly, "Isn't it okay if I come to you?"

He wore a light blue windbreaker today, as if his whole body would merge with the sky at any moment.

Lian Tingyu paused: "You can come to me at any time, but if you don't reply to my message, I will be worried."

The way he frowned pleased Lian Feng, and Lian Feng smiled slightly: "The little monster has a big temper, what if you think I'm annoying."

"I won't find you annoying." Lian Tingyu blamed himself a little, he felt that he didn't give the man enough sense of security.Lian Tingyu took the initiative to pull Lian Feng's arm: "I'll take you to have breakfast."

"I do not want to eat."

Lian Tingyu coaxed him patiently: "Then why don't you go to see the school's opening ceremony? It's said to be very interesting."

"Um."

When they arrived at the auditorium, the opening ceremony had not yet begun.Lian Tingyu originally thought that the two of them would become outliers among a group of first-year high school students, but he didn't expect that there were not only students but also many parents of students in the auditorium.

There were a lot of people, so Lian Tingyu pulled Lianfeng to sit down in the back row, and gave him the seat inside: "You sit here."

Lian Feng sat down happily: "Thank you."

The opening ceremony began soon, the principal gave a few words of encouragement, and then left the podium to the vice principal who was said to be very interesting.The vice-principal really made a lot of witty remarks, and the auditorium burst into laughter after a while.

Lian Feng put his arms around the boy's shoulders, leaned into his ear and whispered: "The speech is very interesting."

The two of them were alone in a corner, with a wall to the left and a stranger across a corridor to the right.

Lian Tingyu could only hear the man's voice and feel the man's breath, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and his ears were stained red.

The vice-principal finished his speech, and everyone applauded together.

Lian Feng sat up straight and followed the applause, his right hand was on Lian Tingyu's shoulder, and when he applauded, he completely surrounded the boy in his arms.
