In the next few days, Lu Jingying and her college classmates seemed to be busy with the auction of works planned by the art exhibition all day, and seeing that she was so obsessed with work, Ye Jing didn't want to disturb her. However, with the ensuing work, the photos of Lu Jingying and David also appeared more and more on the pages of major media on campus, I don't know if it was out of her own heart, Ye Jing felt that Lu Jingying's expression on the photo was becoming more and more natural, and she seemed to be used to things like David always appearing around her.
This made Ye Jing's mood very complicated, so taking advantage of the end of the art exhibition that day, Ye Jing waited outside the door until Lu Jingying and his party came out of the exhibition hall.
"Ye Jing?" Lu Jingying, who saw Ye Jing, was still smiling as always, if she had removed David who was following her, Lu Jingying's appearance of running towards her could have swept away all the boredom in Ye Jing's heart.
"Why are you here?" Lu Jingying took Ye Jing's hand and asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong?"
"Ahem......" David, who learned the truth about Ye Jing, is now unable to look directly at the intimate relationship between the two girls, but he can't help but think that if he still only thinks that Ye Jing is an ignorant little girl, the current picture of the reunion of beauties should be quite eye-catching.
David touched his nose in embarrassment, he was obviously quite chattering, and he obviously didn't know what to say in front of Ye Jing.
Ye Jing didn't pay attention to David, Wu took out a small bottle from his schoolbag, the transparent glass bottle was filled with a delicate golden liquid, and people reflexively felt a trace of sweetness grow in their throats.
"Honey ......," Ye Jing said, "that...... Relieves fatigue ......"
"Huh?" Lu Jingying glanced at the bottle in Ye Jing's hand that didn't even have a label, "Then think about me, but don't you like sweets the most......?"
"I'm ......," Ye Jing snorted, "that...... I still have a lot of ...... This...... This bottle is for you......"
"Puff......" Ye Jing's clumsy words and deeds finally made David laugh uncontrollably.
"What are you laughing at!" Lu Jingying waited for him with disgust, no one could mock Ye Jing except herself.
"No, it's not ......" David waved his hand and said down the slope, "This bottle of honey in Xiao Jing's hand is very precious, if I am not mistaken, this bottle was originally used to hold reagents in the laboratory of the university town, in other words, this bottle of honey is likely to be a natural product made by hand!"
"I didn't ...... That's right......" Ye Jing nodded, this bottle of honey did originate from the self-product of the Department of Natural Sciences in the university town, and after several twists and turns, it was used by Chen Ke and other fans to honor the idol, in the same way, Ye Jing also borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha land, and wanted to give it to his idol ---Lu Jingying.
"It's a precious honey...... Davy boasted, "The honey they make in class every year is also a hard currency in the college town, it really tastes good, Sister Xiaojing is so attentive, you can take it, right?"
"It's such a precious thing...... Lu Jingying's brain made up Ye Jing, who loves sweets, swallowed saliva at honey all day long, but she desperately couldn't help but want to give it to herself, so she smiled sweetly as if she had tasted the honey in the bottle.
Ye Jing looked at David in a daze, wondering in her heart, why is this kid so enthusiastic about assisting himself?
"What?" As he spoke, the other members of the Academy of Fine Arts followed, looking at the bottle of honey with fresh faces.
"That ......" Lu Jingying pursed her lips, "Everyone has been working hard these days, Ye Jing, can you share the honey with them?"
"Uh, okay...... Okay......" Although I really want her to enjoy this sweetness exclusively, since it was Lu Jingying who said it, Ye Jing has no reason to say no.
"There's a café nearby, I'm going to ask the clerk there to prepare a honey drink for us, let's try it together?"
"Oh, good idea!Let's go~~"
"Uh-uh?" Ye Jing was helplessly surrounded by a group of people and went to the café together.
After everyone entered, they picked a table nearby and sat down, David volunteered to bring the bottle of honey to the clerk to negotiate, and the others chatted around the table with a smile on their faces, and from time to time they were full of thanks to Ye Jing who brought them honey. To be honest, it's nothing for Lu Jingying's classmates to eat, it's just that she really doesn't want to give David ......
As if deliberately provocative, after a while, David took the lemonade made of honey, deliberately passed behind Ye Jing, and in front of her, he kept the first cup for himself with a smile, which made Ye Jing's cheeks almost bulge.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Jingying pinched Ye Jing's small round face and whispered in her ear, "Why do you look like a child who has been robbed of a toy?"
"I didn't ...... No......" Ye Jing sniffed, took the plate and handed the rest of the drink to everyone.
The clerk added the pure natural honey brought by Ye Jing to the fresh and sour lemonade, and inserted a verdant lemon slice into the mouth of the cup, exuding a refreshing aroma. If you stir the straw with your hands, you can see a few mint leaves in the cup, lazily floating up and down in a uniform, translucent, pleasing pale yellow drink.
Ye Jing watched Lu Jingying take a sip of cherries, sipping gently in the straw, the sourness of the lemon made her frown, and the sweetness of the honey made her smile again, the beauty of the smile, and even more so everything in the world, Ye Jing was so intoxicated that she even forgot to taste the honey she had been looking forward to, until the sound of David's snorting drink came to her ears.
Looking at Ye Jing's chest tightness, Lu Jingying somewhat guessed that it was because of David's relationship, and since the first time they met, she felt that Ye Jing, who had always been kind and gentle, was rarely afraid of others.
With such curiosity, Lu Jingying always observed Ye Jing's reaction to David, intentionally or unintentionally. I may be expecting in my heart that in terms of interpersonal relationships, Ye Jing, who is very popular and flawless, will also have even the slightest bit in some aspects and become as clumsy as himself......
"Xiao Jing is probably reluctant, right?" David, who had drunk most of the drink, laughed, "The more we drink, the less we will leave for you~~"
"Hmm......," David said, choking on the others who were sipping drinks at the bar.
"How can there be!" Almost at the same time, Lu Jingying shouted, "Our family Xiaojing is not so stingy! When I was in high school, I always wanted to share good things with everyone at the first time, right?"
"Mmmmmm......" Ye Jing had to nod, and watched as David summoned the waiter to refill another glass for herself.
"Really, in that case, I should really thank Xiao Jing...... Anyway, this honey really lives up to its name, it's so delicious, haha~~"
"Drink, drink, it's good if you have diabetes!" Ye Jing muttered in his heart.
"Speaking of which~~" On the other side, Xiaolian, who was also drinking drinks, also opened a conversation, "The range of activities in the university town is really good, and I feel like I'm about to become a star these days." ”
"If the star is also Lu Jingying, right?" Jingqing said, "Recently, someone really sent all kinds of snacks as a condolence gift on the grounds of her~~"
"It's just that Lu Jingying has a small appetite ......" Wenwen also joked, "We also ate a lot with it, haha~~"
"If you want to send it, send something that Lu Jingying really wants~~" David followed the topic, and suddenly asked directly, "Tell me, what gift do you want?"
"Huh?" Lu Jingying was stunned, "I don't have anything I want......"
"There will always be, right?" In addition to Lu Jingying, several other students of the Academy of Fine Arts all heard David's words, this prince of daring love is asking for directions, is he ready to attack with things?
"What's there......" Lu Jingying licked her lips, as if she was really thinking about it. accidentally glanced at Ye Jing, the latter held his breath and stared, his concentration was really funny, "...... What are you doing, you guys, it's like I'm about to have a birthday~~"
"I didn't ...... No......" Ye Jing's face flushed, as if she had asked about the gift.
There was a burst of laughter in everyone, and the topic should have been over. It was Lu Jingying who muttered to herself, which attracted everyone's attention again.
"If I had to say, I'd like to bring my paintings back......
"Uh, are you talking about your exhibit?" the crowd asked, "What about Tranquility?"
Lu Jingying nodded, and Ye Jing's eyes lit up on the side.
"That's no fun, the charity sale is already ironclad, at this time, it will not be sold, all kinds of face can't be hung up, unless ......" Xiao Lian snapped his fingers, "You buy it......"
"You idiot!" Before he could finish speaking, Pony gave him a chestnut, "Spend money on your own paintings, and you should be as stupid as you are?" besides, according to the latest estimates, this painting must be more than 10,000 yuan, even if it is half donated and half sold, this price is astronomical to us......"
"I'm just saying this, I've already promised Teacher Dai to donate paintings......" Lu Jingying hurriedly waved her hand, glanced at Ye Jing on the side, and saw that her shining eyes would dim You, as if she was a little disappointed.
Did Ye Jing already guess that I wanted to give her the painting?
As a reward for the inspiration you have given me, as the first step in my creative career, I only want you to keep this memorial for me, because this is the work that was originally painted for you. It represents a lot of memories of the past, and it will continue to bear witness to the future......
Unfortunately, whether I want to admit it or not, in a sense, painting itself has become a stepping stone on my academic journey, and it has nothing to do with us, but only my personal future. So much so that it makes me feel like sacrificing the future of the two of us to satisfy myself, as if a piece of my heart has been stripped away......
Forget the previous friendship, forget the past partner? Healing that guilt, is it the experience of growing up? Lu Jingying couldn't help but sigh.
On the other hand, Ye Jing was thinking......
It's so expensive! I can't afford it!
"After all, it's the most satisfying work I've ever made, and I don't even have a few glances at it before I sell it to others, so it's really a bit of a thing......" David saw that the other students of the Academy of Fine Arts were looking at him meaningfully, so he had to affirm word by word, "But this painting is really not a small number, and it is not at all a ...... that students can afford."
With all that said, it would be difficult for others to follow suit, but carefully cushioning the weight of that money, it would be a bit nonsense for David to really do that.
"Ten thousand yuan...... Ye Jing sniffed and drank honey lemonade with a clatter......
