Chapter 19
The morning dew was heavy, and the seaside air was filled with a salty and humid smell. Water droplets were condensing on the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and were slowly falling down, but the sunlight was not dazzling.
You Mian got up early in the morning, wearing a loose black sweatshirt and baggy pants. He looked relaxed and energetic in the early morning.
You can tell at a glance that he is a college student.
The only sound in the quiet kitchen was the toaster's operation. Yan Tingxuan's tall figure was facing away from You Mian. His shirt was still ironed straight and he had a cool woody scent on his body.
You Mian paused as she walked towards the kitchen.
Yan Tingxuan happened to turn around with a tray in his hand, and was startled for a moment when he saw You Mian.
But he quickly adjusted his expression, smiled and raised the plate in his hand as if he was facing other guests, and said, "I have toast. Do you want tomato or ham? Or both?"
You Mian walked straight across the kitchen counter to the coffee machine, and said calmly without even looking up, "No, I'll just have a cup of coffee."
Yan Tingxuan raised his eyebrows and walked to the dining table with milk and toast.
There was no doubt that the heart-warming text message he sent last night was to Bai Lin, but what troubled him all night was who You Mian's heart-warming text message was sent to.
Yan Tingxuan lowered his eyes and ate his breakfast slowly, and the fingers holding the glass suddenly clenched.
Although he didn't care, Yan Tingxuan was very confident in his heart before the heart-warming text message segment. After all, he was the person You Mian was most familiar with in this show.
So whether it was a heart-warming text message or choosing someone with eyes closed, You Mian should have chosen him.
There have been too many unexpected events recently, which made Yan Tingxuan feel irritable.
The unique bitter taste of black coffee filled his nose. You Mian filled the cup quickly and indifferently, then took two gulps as if to fill his stomach.
He always had trouble eating breakfast, but in order to avoid being unable to concentrate due to hunger in the sculpture room at noon, You Mian forced himself to drink a few sips of coffee.
Just as You Mian put down the cup, footsteps were heard upstairs.
Bai Lin walked down the stairs briskly, and a shy expression flashed across his face when he saw Yan Tingxuan.
"Brother Tingxuan, did you make breakfast?" Bai Lin sat next to Yan Tingxuan intimately and took the plate handed to him as a matter of course.
“Tomato toast is still my favorite!”
Bai Lin blinked and clasped his hands together, then smiled sweetly at Yan Tingxuan, "Thank you, Brother Tingxuan."
Yan Tingxuan suddenly became much quieter this morning. Facing Bai Lin's intimate behavior, he just smiled and said, "I'll take you to class later."
Bai Lin pretended to be bothered and evaded the request: "It will delay your work. I can go by myself."
Yan Tingxuan said: "I'm on my way..."
You Mian turned on the faucet, washed the coffee cup and hung it on the cup rack. Then he picked up his backpack and black baseball cap, put them on his head and walked towards the door of the cabin.
Yan Tingxuan was caught off guard when he saw You Mian leaving, and he shouted quickly, "You Mian!"
There were too many shots of the cabin, and You Mian didn't want to turn his face away and cause unnecessary trouble, so he stopped.
When Yan Tingxuan saw You Mian stop, he didn't know how to start again.
If he said he wanted to send You Mian to school, not only would You Mian refuse, but even Bai Lin would think of other things.
So Yan Tingxuan stopped the man and fell silent.
You Mian was in a hurry, and before Yan Tingxuan could finish his words, he turned back, adjusted the brim of his hat, and said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Yan Tingxuan frowned. The cottage was on the beach dozens of kilometers away from the city center. How would You Mian find a car to go to University A from here?
Just as You Mian turned to leave, Pei Huaiji's door on the first floor was opened.
The man was wearing a long grey windbreaker with a pure black plush scarf around his neck. His double-breasted suit was neat and tidy, and his tie was changed to dark blue.
Pei Huaiji's hair was still neatly groomed, and his thick eyebrows, Adam's apple, and big, bony hands all exuded a strong masculine aura.
Pei Huaiji walked out in his patent leather shoes, lightly raised his right hand to press the Bluetooth headset, and ordered in a deep and decisive voice: "Schedule the meeting in the morning. I have something to do in the afternoon. Someone from the program team may come over in the morning. Let Vivian contact them."
The man's movements were so smooth that he didn't give anyone else a chance to say hello.
Until Pei Huaiji turned off his headphones and stopped beside You Mian.
The boy's chestnut brown hair was pressed under a black baseball cap. The loose sweatshirt outlined his shoulder lines very beautifully. His shoulder blades at the back were slightly protruding, and his body was thin and handsome.
Pei Huaiji asked briefly: "Do you want to go to class?"
Hearing the voice, You Mian turned around and hummed.
Pei Huaiji nodded, "It's on the way to University A, I'll take you there."
You Mian looked up in surprise.
Pei Huaiji's expression remained the same as usual. Seeing that You Mian was still hesitating, he raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and said, "If you don't leave now, you might be late."
When You Mian heard the word "late", he immediately put his hesitation behind him and followed Pei Huaiji out of the cabin.
Yan Tingxuan and Bai Lin were left in the open restaurant.
Bai Lin could see that Yan Tingxuan was distracted at the moment, and a surge of jealousy and resentment surged in his heart.
Although he did receive three heart-warming text messages last night, he couldn't help but feel angry at the moment.
