Chapter 2 I want to take you back to the past 04
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Mobai bit his lip uncomfortably.
This was her first time wearing boys' clothes, but the faint lemon scent on the clothes made her face blush involuntarily. So she quickly raised her hands and pressed them on her cheeks, trying to cool her hot face.
At this time, a girl walked into the bathroom, and when she saw Lin Mobai, she couldn't help but look at her a few times.
The next moment, facing the girl's slightly mocking smile, Lin Mobai was already embarrassed. Because she gave way to the girl, Lin Mobai shrank to the side, and when she looked at the mirror inadvertently , she realized that He Qingkong's large sweatshirt was worn on her petite body, which was a bit funny and out of place.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly, and when she ran out of the bathroom, she couldn't wait to leave Z University.
After leaving the bathroom, before Lin Mobai could say goodbye, He Qingkong spoke first.
"Xiaobai, have you been to Z University before?" After the previous unpleasant episode came to an end, because Lin Mobai took the initiative to find him, He Qingkong couldn't hide his excitement and said with a smile, "It's rare for you to come here, I must do my best to be a good host and take you around."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Lin Mobai was stunned for a moment, and then he said in rejection, "It's getting late, I..."
"Then, let's just walk around for a while." As if he had anticipated that the second half of her sentence was a farewell, He Qingkong continued, "After all, Z University is one of the best universities in the country, and the design styles of many of its buildings are quite unique."
He invited her sincerely, and when Lin Mobai looked up, he met his gentle gaze full of expectation.
Her heart began to beat like a deer again. She suddenly lowered her head, and the words that were lingering in her throat disappeared.
This was considered as her tacit acceptance of his invitation, and by the time she realized what was happening, He Qingkong had already begun to enthusiastically introduce her to the nearby library. Even though she was still eager to leave, seeing that he was in a very happy mood, Lin Mobai could not spoil his fun and could only accompany him in silence. However, strolling around the campus of Z University, she became the focus of attention in her wide sweater.
Lin Mobai's heart couldn't help but feel uneasy when he met strange gazes several times, and he wanted to say goodbye impulsively several times.
However, before every impulse, looking at He Qingkong smiling brightly in the afternoon sun, she still couldn't say goodbye.
After enduring for a long time, the uneasy emotions gradually accumulated, and Lin Mobai's eyebrows were already wrinkled. Soon, He Qingkong also noticed her abnormality. The smile on her lips was very stiff, as if she was trying hard to suppress it because she didn't want to ruin his interest. The uneasy feeling between her eyebrows was even more obvious.
Seeing this, He Qingkong couldn't help but frown, as if her uneasiness had also gathered a dark cloud in his heart.
Thinking of the few times they met, she would frown when she was surrounded by strangers. He Qingkong looked around and then he noticed the eyes following Lin Mobai. Instantly, he understood her uneasiness in the unfamiliar environment, especially when she was wearing a large boy's sweatshirt. Thinking of this, he began to blame himself for his carelessness.
"Sorry." So, after stopping, He Qingkong immediately apologized for his inconsideration.
"Ah?" Faced with his sudden apology, Lin Mobai looked puzzled.
"I..." He wanted to explain, but was afraid that his explanation would make her more uncomfortable, so he paused.
When he was hesitating whether to continue the topic, he remembered that she came to meet him alone, maybe because she had something to ask her. Then, he skipped the original topic and asked, "By the way, Xiaobai, what is the matter with you coming to Z University to see me this time?"
"Uh..." As if he had not expected He Qingkong to suddenly change the subject, Lin Mobai smiled awkwardly.
"Do you need help with something? If so, you can just tell me."
"It is true, but..."
"Um?"
"Well, actually it's like this." After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mobai decided to tell his purpose of the trip during his inquiry, "Qingkong, um, our department has organized a sketching competition, and our class... our class hopes that you can come and be our nude model."
"Mannequin?"
Although he guessed that Lin Mobai might have something to ask for, he never expected that he would serve as a nude model for their class.
However, since he was a child, many people have invited him to be a nude model, and he just rejected the invitations from some female classmates not long ago.
However, liking to paint and becoming a person in the painting are two different things. He has never been willing to be a model for others, frozen on a blank piece of paper.
But, whether one is willing or not depends on the individual.
"Actually, this is just a suggestion among classmates. Well...well, being a nude model is also very hard work. You don't have to force yourself. I was just...sent by them to invite you. You don't have to care about it at all. If it is inconvenient, you can just say it directly." Seeing that he hesitated a little, Lin Mobai hurriedly explained.
Although she had given the invitation as expected, she did not expect him to accept it.
Ever since meeting He Qingkong, Lin Mobai always felt vaguely uneasy, and asking him to become a memory in her painting was an impossible task.
However, He Qingkong did not feel the thoughts that were implicitly expressed in her words.
He smiled brightly and nodded, agreeing readily: "Sure, I'll go as long as you invite me."
