Chapter 3: Missing you is like being tipsy with wine 02
Lead-gray lines had already outlined the outline of He Qingkong on the white drawing paper, and then the details were drawn. Lin Mobai looked at He Qingkong from time to time, and waved the charcoal pencil in her hand from time to time. With each stroke, deep and shallow, he in the painting and he outside the painting were like a pair of twins, and she, who was holding the pen, was full of pleasure. Even though she had drawn countless "He Qingkong" in these short ten days, she still felt pleasantly surprised when she drew him again in the painting.
As a student of fine arts, she has drawn many figure sketches, but she has never met any one that gives her this feeling.
Soon, another sketch was completed. Lin Mobai looked at He Qingkong in the painting, then compared him with the man in front of him, and then he smiled with satisfaction.
She drew countless pictures of him, but in the end, only this one suited her best.
Not only her, on this last afternoon, all the classmates completed their most satisfying works, and He Qingkong's modeling work also came to an end.
Because of He Qingkong's kindness and patience, all his classmates liked him very much, especially the girls. Before leaving, everyone asked for a hug as a thank you, but he was so scared that he hurriedly hid behind Lin Mobai.
Although he was also frightened by his classmates ' "ferocity", Lin Mobai couldn't help laughing when he saw He Qingkong's silly look.
But, perhaps because of her overly brilliant smile, and the fact that He Qingkong had his hands on her shoulders and was watching her smiling tenderly from the side, someone nearby started to make a noise, shouting, "It's okay if you don't let us hold the baby, then give one to Mo Bai!"
The person who spoke was Zhou Shiqing. She deliberately made eye contact, suggesting that others should cooperate with her.
Then, the next second, all the classmates joined in the booing, "Hug one! Hug one! Hug one!"
In fact, as early as when He Qingkong took the initiative to explain his relationship with Shi Xujun to Lin Mobai, all the classmates knew that it was just a misunderstanding. As they spent some time together, everyone knew how gentle he was to Lin Mobai, and sometimes they could even see him trying his best to get close to Lin Mobai. For this reason, the classmates couldn't help but speculate, and with Zhou Shiqing's deliberate misleading, they all thought that he was pursuing Lin Mobai.
At this moment, shouts filled the classroom, and ambiguity became the only smell in the air.
Faced with the crowd's booing, Lin Mobai and He Qingkong were at a loss as to what to do. Their hearts were pounding and their brains were blank.
As a result, the atmosphere immediately became awkward.
In the end, this "farce" that was caused by the booing had to be ended by the perpetrator Zhou Shiqing. As if realizing the two people's helplessness, Zhou Shiqing rolled her eyes and quickly stretched out her hand to push the two people out of the classroom, saying: "It seems that our hero and heroine are embarrassed in public, so let's not disturb their world of two!"
After leaving the classroom, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
However, neither of them spoke, as if they were afraid that the group of classmates behind them would catch up and fill the air with ambiguity again, surrounding the two of them. So, after smiling at each other, they tacitly quickened their pace, walked down the stairs, and left the teaching building.
…
On campus, the afternoon sun is warm .
Lin Mobai and He Qingkong walked side by side under the shade of the trees. Occasionally, the sunlight shone on them in patches, just enough to paint a hint of spring in their faint smiles.
"actually……"
After walking in silence for a while, the two of them started talking at the same time.
Inexplicably, the air seemed to be filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and they both smiled awkwardly. Then, He Qingkong gave in and said, "Xiaobai, go first."
"Yeah." Lin Mobai nodded, took a deep breath, and then said, "Actually...actually I already consider you a friend..."
After spending ten days together, Lin Mobai could feel He Qingkong's sincerity.
However, she didn't want to be the focus of everyone's attention again, and she had a grudge in her heart. Although she really wanted to have the friendship of "He Lu Ding Shi Lin" again, she knew that there was no happiness in forcing it. She also knew that He Qingkong wanted to go back to the past again and again, just because he didn't know about the accident that year.
If He Qingkong knew that Ding Zhiyou had passed away, he would never forgive himself.
He might even hate himself like Lu Yanqi and Shi Xujun.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and her brows subconsciously frowned.
So, when He Qingkong pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile, she continued: "So, Qingkong, you don't have to come here to see me so often in the future."
Just one sentence destroyed He Qingkong's smile.
He Qingkong was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react: "But..."
He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he couldn't think of a reason , so he could only look at her helplessly. His heart was in a state of panic, like an ant running around.
After gritting his teeth and thinking for a long time, he reluctantly found an excuse and said, "But, friends can also meet often, right?"
When he met Lin Mobai's eyes, he couldn't help but look forward to her smile and response.
But Lin Mobai turned away, avoiding eye contact. She pursed her lips, smiled and said, "Just get along like ordinary friends. You don't have to come over often or contact us often."
He was formally rejected by her, and He Qingkong could no longer think of any other reason to increase the chance of meeting her, and his mood became inexplicably depressed.
