Two days later, at noon, Chen Ying returned to her bedroom. It's been almost a week since no one lives, and dust has accumulated in quite a few places. She wiped the seat clean first, took out a cushion from the wardrobe and put it on it, and then took Xiaobai out of her backpack and put it on the cushion. Then she went to the water room and took out a mop and hung it high to control the water. Then I went back to the dormitory to sweep the floor, mop the floor, make the bed, wipe the table, and finally wipe the floor with a mop again. By the time she had done it all, it was nearly five o'clock.

"Oops." She said as she put on her coat and looked for a scarf everywhere. The cat jumped out of her chair and stopped at her feet.

Meow –

It looked up at her, following without leaving.

"I'm going to pick up Qin Hong and I'm going to be late, I'll get the cat food when I come back, okay?" She stroked its furry head.

Meow –

Xiaobai stood up, supported by only two hind legs, staring at her intently, his two front paws firmly grasping the corners of her pants.

"Okay, okay." She turned to rummage through her bag for cat cans, and she could feel Xiaobai hanging from the corner of her pants.

Finally, she washed the cat's eating plate, opened the fresh can for it to put away, and poured some hot water from the thermos into the box where it often drank. Seeing it contentedly crouched in the corner eating, she turned back to look for the gloves.

The mobile phone rang, and it was Qin Hong calling. He must have arrived at the school gate.

"Where are you?" Chen Ying hurriedly grabbed her mobile phone and rushed out of the door.

"It's already downstairs for you." A familiar voice rang over the phone, "Come down." ”

She rushed downstairs and saw Qin Hong standing outside through the glass door. Dressed in a new khaki down jacket and a light-colored plaid scarf, he was peering through the door.

"I'm sorry." Chen Ying didn't look at the pedestrians on both sides, and threw herself into Qin Hong's arms. He also let go of his grip on the baggage pole and hugged her tightly. She could smell that he still had the smell of tobacco mixed with other luggage in the train. His arms were still so wide and comfortable that she was reluctant to come out of them.

"Missed me." His voice came from behind her, his face buried in her long hair.

"Me too." She whispered, feeling him hug himself tighter and tighter.

"Is it okay to celebrate the New Year alone?" He asked.

"It's good, it's fine."

"I can't rest assured that you, I'm afraid you'll be sad, I'm afraid you'll be strong here alone."

A stream of warm liquid flowed from the corners of her eyes, down her cheeks and into her long, thick hair. She tried her best not to let herself sob. She inhaled softly, unable to utter a word.

"I kind of regretted it when I got home." He continued, "My dad and I went out to buy all kinds of ingredients, and my mom cooked at home. I watched my sister and brother-in-law so happy, and the two of them were busy all day long, buying all kinds of wedding supplies. The two of them were tired of being together all day long, and they didn't shy away from talking to me at all, and I suddenly felt a little redundant. ”

"That's how it is when two people are in love, everything is flawless when they see each other."

"Later, they had dinner together at my house a few days ago, and then went to the man's house after the wedding. They were gone, and they looked a little deserted. My dad didn't particularly bother me about work, but asked about you. I told them, and they were all quite satisfied, and they asked me to treat you well. ”

"You have to tell the truth, don't praise too much."

"I'm just telling the truth." Qin Hong argued and still hugged Chen Ying tightly, "In my heart, you are like this, no one is as good as you." ”

Chen Ying rubbed the tip of his nose against the root of his ear, and the whole person was warmly hugged by him, exhaling slowly. They hugged each other like this, and I don't know how long it took.

"Let's go, go get something to eat, I'm a little hungry." Qin Hong said.

This sentence woke Chen Ying up from her dream, and she hurriedly snatched the lever in Qin Hong's hand.

"The box is heavy, so I'd better do it." He said.

"You've worked hard all the way." She dragged the box hard, trying to look as relaxed as possible, "What do you want for dinner?" ”

"I don't know, you say it, it's all up to you."

"I'll treat you to pizza."

"Okay."

They walked downstairs as they spoke, there was still a week before the start of school, and the peak of returning to school had not yet come. The dormitory manager probably went out to eat, and Chen Ying walked in smoothly, and together they carried the boxes up the dilapidated steps, walked through the empty corridor, and came to the room opposite the water room. The only light bulb with very low wattage hung in the old dormitory hallway was just the staircase, and the rest of the place was dark. Qin Hong took out the key in his trouser pocket, and stuck it in the keyhole for a long time before finding a place, and with a click, the door opened, and Qin Hong turned on the fluorescent lamp on the roof of the dormitory.

This is Chen Ying's first time in the boys' dormitory. It was a north-facing dormitory, and it was a little dark in the house before the sun went down. The owners of the room probably cleaned it before leaving, and it seems to be relatively tidy. There are two rows of bunk beds against the wall next to the door, and four sets of tables and chairs side by side on the other side of the wall. At the top of each desk is a bookcase, and next to it is a personal wardrobe like Chen Ying's dormitory, and there is an extra square under the wardrobe, just enough to put suitcases. As soon as he entered the house, Qin Hong threw the key on the table by the window.

"How? You alright? He said as he stroked the table top with his fingers and looked at it carefully, "The table top is a little gray, and it needs to be wiped down later." ”

"I'll wipe it for you when you come back." Chen Ying said. She left her suitcase by the door.

"Okay, let's go." Qin Hong said and walked over and turned off the lights.

The room instantly went dark. Chen Ying reached out to touch the doorknob, but touched Qin Hong's hand. He turned her over and pressed her against the wall, facing him, and he lifted her jaw with one hand. She felt his snort getting closer and faster, and before she could react, he was already kissing her frantically, peeling off her coat as he kissed, unbuttoning her sweater, holding her head with one hand and reaching into her shirt behind her back, caressing her smooth back. Then his hand slowly moved forward, unbuttoning the edge of her pants and continuing to move down.

"Qin Hong, Qin Hong." She was about to suffocate.

He didn't answer, and continued to press her against the wall and kiss her wildly. His lips were hot, searching her neck like a soldering iron. His teeth bit her lip, the tip of his tongue groping in her mouth. Her mind went blank, and she only vaguely felt the other person's body leaning over, pushing her against the wall, unable to move. Through the cardigan, she heard his heartbeat, and she felt his hand move from his waist to the soft lower abdomen, sliding up a little more.

"Qin Hong, don't." She struggled reflexively, grabbing his dishonest hand so hard that her nails dug deep into his skin.

I don't know if the pain awakened reason, Qin Hong pulled his hand out of her clothes, and the kiss stopped. He helped her put on the clothes she had just lifted. He gasped and didn't say a word. Chen Ying lowered her head, not daring to look at him. The bodies of the two men leaned together, silent in the dark.

"Let's go eat." He opened the door, letting in the faint light of the hallway.

Chen Ying stood by the door and did not move.

"W-sorry just now." He continued, "Every time I see you, I can't help but ......"
