Chapter 35

On Wednesday morning, Jiang Xiu came to Professor Liu's office and happened to hear that Professor Liu had returned yesterday, so he came to see Professor Liu early in the morning with another manuscript.

"Teacher Liu, you're back." Jiang Xiu greeted Professor Liu upon entering, then handed over his new draft. "I felt my last draft wasn't that good. After handing it in to you, I was inspired and had new ideas."

Generally speaking, these are things that people start preparing for in their senior year, but their school is very active in this major. They start choosing topics in their junior year, and it can take a whole school year from the first draft to the final draft. Then they start making clothes and preparing for dynamic exhibitions in their senior year.

So during the first draft stage this semester, you can revise it again and again.

Professor Liu took the stack of manuscript paper Jiang Xiu handed over and nodded. "I'll take it back today and compare it with the one you sent last time to see which one is better."

Do you need to compare more? Jiang Xiu was very anxious now and just wanted to take this big piece of evidence back and destroy it.

Jiang Xiu: "I think this group is better."

Hearing Jiang Xiu's decisive answer, Professor Liu opened the stack of manuscript papers and flipped through them.

"The two groups have different themes and even more different styles. The previous group was a series of clothing, and this one is a couple's outfit." Professor Liu joked, "Why? Are you in love?"

"No, I chose two groups of topics at the beginning. I was confused for a while when I submitted them, but now..."

Jiang Xiu wasn't lying. He had indeed done two sets, and he found it hard to part with them. He had originally planned to show the other set to Professor Liu later, but now that wasn't necessary.

"No, I'm not in a relationship!" He suddenly realized what Professor Liu asked him.

Professor Liu laughed and said, "Okay, I took your draft home earlier. I'll give it to you next time I bring it over."

After receiving Professor Liu's affirmative response, Jiang Xiu felt relieved.

As long as he could get that series of manuscripts back, he would not reveal any more obvious flaws.

However, Jiang Xiu was still uneasy. Before leaving, he repeated the same sentence to Professor Liu several times.

"Teacher Liu, the returned manuscript must be handed over to me! Please wait for me to pick it up."

Professor Liu nodded good-naturedly. She knew that even the manuscripts rejected by students were the product of a great deal of hard work, and no one would want others to see them to avoid subsequent troubles.

Of course, Professor Liu also thought that Jiang Xiu kept telling her this because of this, and she looked aggrieved and pitiful, which made people unable to help but agree.

After leaving the office, Jiang Xiu went to class and entered the classroom on time.

The morning class was a public class at the Academy of Arts. Mo Ye and Su Shuangshuang were also there. It had been more than half a month since they last attended class together.

Seeing Jiang Xiu sitting down panting, Su Shuangshuang asked in a low voice: "Where did you go so early in the morning? Why are you so out of breath?"

Mo Ye interrupted: "Yeah, didn't you get up early today?"

Mo Ye sent him a message early last night. Jiang Xiu saw it when he woke up early and replied. It was 6:30 in the morning.

Jiang Xiu sat between the two of them and said to them in a low voice, "I went to Professor Liu's place and exchanged the draft I submitted earlier."

This happened so suddenly. After returning from the Academy of Fine Arts with Ji Linchuan yesterday, he made an excuse that he was going to the library to read, but in fact he ran back home to get the manuscript.

He hurried back to the dormitory, and it was almost lights out time. He quietly hid the sketch before going to the bathroom to wash up.

So Jiang Xiu told them what happened yesterday.

"Good boy, if you still don't know who Deep Shark is, he will be exposed at the graduation exhibition next year, and then it will be exciting." Su Shuangshuang couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. This plot is really too fictional.

Mo Ye: "Next year? The Great Master can't even wait a month, okay? Didn't you see how Xiu Bao has bewitched him? Tsk tsk, those chat records..."

Jiang Xiu couldn't help but pinch Mo Ye's thigh to tell him to shut up.

"What's wrong with you two? Instead of thinking about what to do for me, you're gloating over my misfortune!" Jiang Xiu glared at them. "I already submitted my dorm swap application yesterday morning."

"Did you pass?" Mo Ye's eyes lit up.

He would rather have Jiang Xiu live with him, so that they could discuss various literary masterpieces and Wizards comics every day.

Endless happiness.

"How could it be that fast?" Jiang Xiu curled his eyes and changed the subject, "But it's almost certain. The teacher asked me to pack my things first and will notify me on Friday for details."

"Great!" Mo Ye was also happy, but thinking of his previous experience of changing dormitories, he couldn't help but pout, "How come you got it so easy? I rejected you three times."

Su Shuangshuang: "Think more about your own reasons."

"You!" Mo Ye pretended to hit someone, but in class, he was just pretending to scare Su Shuangshuang. "Wait after class!"

After completing the two important tasks, Jiang Xiu finally felt relieved and decided to wait until Friday to deal with the rest.

"Then do you still have to accompany Ji Linchuan to the university town these days?"

When Su Shuangshuang asked this, Jiang Xiu's eyebrows, which had just raised, drooped again. Even though the matter was about to be resolved, he still had debts to repay in the next two days.

Jiang Xiu nodded gravely: "I'm going to accompany him to the nearby Fashion Vocational College today."

Mo Ye: "This school has the most students majoring in clothing, so it would take him a long time to investigate. You should have brought him to this school from the beginning."

Jiang Xiu had thought about this problem at first, but based on the geographical location, the Fashion Vocational College was the farthest from the central circle of the university town, which was also the farthest from the address where he had sent the express delivery.

Therefore, Jiang Xiu chose the Academy of Fine Arts first, and moved the Fashion Vocational College second.

There are so many people here that it will take at least four, five or six days to investigate. By the time Ji Linchuan still can't find anyone here, he will have run away.

Before running away, he told Ji Linchuan that he had checked everything that could be done nearby and asked him to give up. After all, they had only known each other and had been in an online relationship for a short time. After this experience, Ji Linchuan should be able to forget him quickly.

Jiang Xiu: "Now is the perfect time. I can be free in two days."

However, what Jiang Xiu never expected was that after the morning class, he received a new message from Ji Linchuan.

Ji Linchuan: [Xiu Xiu, you don't have to accompany me this afternoon. I can go by myself.]

When Jiang Xiu saw the news, he was happy at first. It was good that he didn't have to accompany Ji Linchuan in fear, and he didn't have to worry about being exposed at any time.

But he felt uneasy in his heart, as if something was deviating from his planned trajectory.

Jiang Xiu: [Okay.]

After typing these two words, my fingertips felt heavy.

Jiang Xiu spent the entire afternoon distracted. He wondered if Ji Linchuan was already waiting at the academy, then wondered if he had found anyone who met the criteria, then wondered if Ji Linchuan...

Stop, stop, stop! Ji Linchuan, Ji Linchuan, these past few days my mind is full of Ji Linchuan, even in my dreams.

He was going crazy and couldn't think anymore.

But the more I remind myself not to think about it, the closer my thoughts get to things I shouldn’t think about.

That night, Ji Linchuan came back very late. The lights in the dormitory were off. Jiang Xiu was lying in bed when she heard Ji Linchuan come back.

Fang Qishan was still downstairs. Seeing Ji Linchuan coming back, he asked, "Third brother, did everything go well today?"

Jiang Xiu heard Ji Linchuan's voice coming from under his bunk bed; "It's not going well, we haven't found it yet."

Sure enough, he knew it.

However, Ji Linchuan changed the subject: "I'll go there one more day tomorrow, and this school will be ruled out."

Jiang Xiu, who was lying in the curtain, widened his eyes. No, without his company, could Ji Linchuan have investigated so quickly?

If it ended tomorrow, what would remain...

Jiang Xiu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp when he thought about which schools still had fashion design majors.

That night, Jiang Xiu slept even worse and had nightmares all night long.

In his dream, Jiang Xiu was hiding from place to place, feeling constantly that someone was chasing him. He frantically dodged and dodged, running nervously all night, not knowing who he was hiding from. He only knew that he had to hide well, because if he was found, he would be doomed.

He was exhausted after running all night. Finally, when he was about to hide back home, he opened the door and saw Ji Linchuan standing inside his house.

Before he could react, he was pulled into the house.

With a bang, the door closed behind him, tightly shut, and he was brought to the sofa.

Ji Linchuan pulled out a dress from somewhere, unbuttoned his clothes one by one, and insisted on putting the dress on him. Jiang Xiu struggled desperately, but his body became increasingly cold. The fabric of a different feel wrapped around his body, and he couldn't help but kick his legs.

"No...!"

Jiang Xiu opened his eyes with rapid breathing and looked at the familiar ceiling before he came to his senses.

It was a dream, great, it was just a dream.

But if he doesn't stop Ji Linchuan quickly, this dream might become a reality.

Jiang Xiu didn't know when he would fall asleep. Just as he was about to check the time on his phone, he felt the bunk bed shaking slightly.

This is because it is connected to another bed, and any slight movement on the other bed can be transmitted to the sensitive Jiang Xiu.

Feeling the shaking, Jiang Xiu knew that Ji Linchuan had gotten up.

Ji Linchuan has always been self-disciplined and gets up very early. If it were before, he would probably go to the gym or study, but now it is obvious that he wants to catch someone.

He glanced at the time and it was a little after six in the morning. Jiang Xiu should have still been asleep at this time, but because of the dream he had last night, he didn't dare to close his eyes anymore, and he was also worried.

He simply got up and went to wash up when he passed by Ji Linchuan. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you going soon?"

It goes without saying where to go.

Ji Linchuan said "hmm" lightly and didn't say much.

Jiang Xiu was brushing his teeth while watching Ji Linchuan's movements and thinking, how can he slow down Ji Linchuan's progress?

This guy even changed his clothes very quickly. Jiang Xiu only saw a flash of his abdominal muscles, and then saw Ji Linchuan appear, ready to go.

Now, Jiang Xiu no longer hesitated. He quickly spat out the foam in his mouth and ran over to grab the corner of Ji Linchuan's clothes.

"Wait for me, I'll go with you."
