Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Still Half a Year
A hazy drizzle of rain fell on Pei Shuyu's eyelashes. In the blink of an eye, the figure before her was blurred by the water. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled, sticking together with wetness.
A warm hand reached out from the front, carefully stroking her eyes, and her vision suddenly became clear.
Ji Yan tilted her head and smiled faintly, "Why are you like a statue, not moving at all?"
Pei Shuyu wiped the water droplets off her face. A cool breeze blew by, bringing a chill, and a layer of small bumps appeared on her exposed skin.
She was full of surprise: "Why are you here?"
Shouldn't this be the time for evening reading? Even if Ji Yan came here right after class in the afternoon, it would be impossible for him to get here in just forty minutes.
A bold and unacceptable guess emerged: "You are not skipping class."
Ji Yan held up Pei Shuyu's painting bag and imitated her usual tone, "Guess."
As they were talking, the two of them worked together to put the painting bag into the storage box under the bus.
Pei Shuyu lifted her rain-soaked hair and stared at Ji Yan without blinking, trying to find any clues on her face, but there was none.
There was no sign of nervousness on Ji Yan's cool and gentle face. She put one hand in her coat pocket and let the person in front of her look at her.
After a while, Pei Shuyu asked, "Have you and Director Chen asked for leave?"
Ji Yan curved her lips: "Hmm."
Pei Shuyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Due to the inherent fear of the grade group, most people would not want to ask the grade director for leave.
But Ji Yan is different, their class teacher is also the grade director.
I didn't even turn the corner just now.
It turns out that after painting for a whole day, my brain has slowed down.
Ji Yan held Pei Shuyu's sleeve and avoided the students who came to put down their painting bags.
Ban Jie was standing at the door of the bus, checking and sending messages on her mobile phone.
Pei Shuyu asked in a low voice: "Does Sister Ban know you're coming?"
She remembered that there were still a few empty seats on the bus, and Ji Yan could go back with them.
Ji Yan nodded: "I know."
Pei Shuyu took the initiative to greet Li Ran: "Sister Ban."
Li Ran took the time to look at her: "How is it?"
Pei Shuyu said confidently: "It's not a big problem."
Li Ran smiled and said, "Okay, hurry up and get in the car, don't get wet." She turned and saw another person and said, "Oh, Ji Yan is here too. Pei Shuyu, do you want to switch seats with someone? You can sit with Ji Yan."
The fact that they can travel from one city to another shows how close the relationship between these two people is.
Pei Shuyu: "Okay, Sister Ban, I'll take care of it."
After finding an empty seat, Pei Shuyu said a few words to the girl sitting next to it. The girl glanced at the two of them and moved to the other side.
After sitting down, Pei Shuyu felt a chill running down his spine.
She exhaled a breath of hot air and rubbed her hands: "By the way, what's the reason you used for asking for leave?"
Ji Yan: "Relax."
Pei Shuyu: "..." She said with a forced smile, "Director Chen approved your leave for this reason?"
God is unfair.
If anyone else used this excuse, Director Chen would probably sneer and push the person out.
Too perfunctory.
But this perfunctory attitude seems reasonable when it comes to Ji Yan.
The temperature rose a bit, and Pei Shuyu's chill was dispelled. She asked, "Did you take leave specifically to come pick me up?"
Ji Yan: “Yeah.”
She lowered her eyes. This exam was of utmost importance to art students, and its seriousness was no more than another college entrance examination.
Pei Shuyu was touched: "You are so kind."
After a tiring day, Pei Shuyu had a lot to say to Ji Yan, but she was overwhelmed by fatigue.
After the class teacher finished calling the roll and confirmed that all the students were present, the lights in the carriage went out. Except for a few people talking in low voices, the rest of the people were either quietly browsing their phones or resting their eyes.
Pei Shuyu belongs to the latter category.
She leaned in Ji Yan's arms, smelling the girl's light fragrance, letting her consciousness become dizzy.
The vehicle was driving steadily until someone tapped me and I became aware of someone else's voice.
"Pei Shuyu, we're here."
Ji Yan rubbed Pei Shuyu's head tenderly and leaned over to whisper in the girl's ear.
Pei Shuyu opened his eyes drowsily and tilted his head hard. Through the car window, he saw that the sky was dark and the street lights on both sides of the road dispelled the darkness.
The familiar teaching building appeared.
The vehicle stopped and students lined up in the aisle to get off.
"Sister Ban, you don't have to go to school tonight."
"Sister Ban, can we go out and buy something?"
"Sister Ban..."
Question after question was thrown out. The class teacher raised her arms and said, "You can go out, but you must be back to school before ten o'clock. Also, go straight to class tomorrow, don't be late."
One student collapsed: "No way, class teacher, the provincial unified exam is over today and classes will start tomorrow. You can't use the production team's donkey like this."
"That's right. Previously, the monthly exams for cultural subjects and the painting school were held consecutively, but this time, the provincial exams are over and classes are still going on."
"My friend's school announced they're having a week off. Even if we don't have a full week off, two or three days will be fine."
“…”
Ban Jie was helpless, but after all, it was a notice from above, so she couldn't do anything: "Okay, stop yelling, it won't change anything."
The joy I just felt after being liberated is now half gone.
There were few people on the street at this time, but the barbecue snack stalls outside were brightly lit.
Pei Shuyu bought a box of clams, picked some barbecued meat, and took them back to the dormitory.
She put her hands in Ji Yan's coat pockets, drawing warmth from them.
Her hand and Ji Yan's hand were held together where no one could see.
It was not raining in the city. In front of the teaching building leading directly to the school gate, a large screen was lit with red light, on which was written the outline of the latest activity.
Pei Shuyu took a few glances and found that these activities had nothing to do with high school students.
The dormitory was empty. Pei Shuyu turned on the light, pulled out a folding table, and placed the clams and barbecue on it.
She asked other people in the dormitory group, and the earliest one would not be back for half an hour.
Pei Shuyu took out two pairs of disposable chopsticks, threw one pair to Ji Yan, and then lifted the plastic cover of the flower clams.
I had lunch at the university where I took the exam.
Thinking of something, Pei Shuyu took out two bottles of drinks from her drawing bag, opened one of them, and handed it to the girl opposite her, saying, "This was given to me by someone who took the exam with me."
Ji Yan raised her eyes: "In the same examination room?"
Pei Shuyu hummed, "After finishing my sketching and quick drawing exams this morning, I saw a girl working with paints when I was about to go to dinner, so I helped her."
When she came back from drawing colored water in the afternoon, she saw that only that girl was left in the empty examination room.
The girl probably didn't notice her and was stirring the paint while sighing.
Pei Shuyu took a look and saw that several kinds of paint were mixed together in the paint box.
The mixing was very serious. After picking out the dirty colors, there were very few of those pigments left, but one of the colors was commonly used.
Pei Shuyu lent his scraper to the girl, and then scooped half of each of the paints from his paint box and gave them to the girl.
The girl said "thank you" many times and added Pei Shuyu as a friend.
It was just a small favor and she thought it was over. But before the color test, the girl suddenly handed her two bottles of drinks and continued to thank her.
Pei Shuyu thought of the girl's gratitude at that time and said, "Meeting is fate, and any help I can give is a helping hand."
Although they are both competitors.
Ji Yan picked up a piece of clam meat and held it in her mouth. It was very spicy. She frowned, swallowed it, and took a sip of the water offered to her. "It's pretty good."
Pei Shuyu shrugged.
When they finished eating, Pei Shuyu's phone rang.
A WeChat message popped up on the screen.
Unable to see who sent the message, Pei Shuyu unlocked her phone and said, "Could it be my mom?"
After the exam, she still hadn't sent a message to Ruan Zhuangjing.
However, it is not.
It was sent by the girl who helped me in the exam room.
Pei Shuyu put down her chopsticks, replied, and said with interest: "It was the girl from noon. She asked me how I did on the exam."
Ji Yan pursed her lips.
Pei Shuyu took off a skewer of meat, picked it up with a pair of clean chopsticks, and handed it to Ji Yan's lips, smiling: "Open your mouth."
Ji Yan bit it.
After eating, while Ji Yan was cleaning the table, Pei Shuyu sent a message to Ruan Zhuangjing.
Pei Shuyu: [Mom, the exam is over.]
Ruan Zhuangjing: [You must be exhausted. Have a good rest. Pat your head.jpg]
Pei Shuyu sent a crying face emoji and typed: [No rest, starting cultural studies tomorrow, too scary.]
Ruan Zhuangjing: [So hard? Do you want me to give you a few days off so you can relax?]
Just relax and unwind.
Pei Shuyu stared at these words, thinking of Ji Yan's reason for asking for leave. She suddenly wondered if her class teacher would scold her if she used this reason.
Probably not, after all, this period of time is really tiring.
Pei Shuyu: [No need to ask for leave.]
After chatting with Ruan Zhuangjing for a few words, Pei Shuyu threw down his phone, moved closer to Ji Yan, hugged the girl's waist from behind, and rested his forehead on her shoulder.
"Ji Yan," Pei Shuyu sighed contentedly, "You are so kind."
Ji Yan's body stiffened and she turned around: "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
Pei Shuyu rubbed it and said: "I just think you are very good. You don't know how happy I was to see you after the exam."
The excitement, joy and disbelief at that moment firmly occupied my heart.
She never thought that Ji Yan would appear outside the examination room waiting for her.
She sniffed, curious: "How did you get here?"
Ji Yan: "Take the high-speed rail."
Pei Shuyu put her arms around Ji Yan's neck, her rosy lips just inches away, and she restrainedly licked her lower lip.
She asked, "Ji Yan, there's still half a year left."
They will graduate in half a year.
Ji Yan's eyes moved slightly: "Well, there are still half a year."
In half a year, they can confirm their relationship.
But would Ruan Zhuangjing agree? There were only a few people Ji Yan cared about.
Ruan Zhuangjing is one of them.
Although Pei Shuyu said not to worry, she always felt guilty when facing Ruan Zhuangjing's concern before the showdown.
Ji Yan lowered her head, her emotions unrecognizable.
Noticing her momentary depression, Pei Shuyu bent down and looked at her from below.
Their eyes met, and Pei Shuyu raised her eyebrows: "Why, you don't want to graduate?"
Ji Yan curved her lips and said, "I do."
