I stood foolishly in place, watching the figure of Ye Lanluo, who had already walked far away, tightly gripping the hem of my clothes, feeling an overwhelming sense of panic

This guy

Students are seen cleaning with cleaning tools in every corner of the exhibition hall

At that moment, my heart felt as if it had plunged to the bottom of a valley

My behavior is indeed somewhat strange

From the expression on Ye Lanluo's face, I think he probably will not answer me

In order to avoid embarrassing myself in front of Ye Lan, I quickly reached out to pat my flushed cheeks and tried my best to control my heartbeat

The originally indifferent expression of Ye Lanlu suddenly stiffened.

That feeling of loneliness enveloped me completely in the dreams of many nights, making it almost impossible for me to breathe

What happened to him

Are you angry

Due to this failed conversation, my mood has become exceedingly poor

I was startled by the sudden change in atmosphere, carefully observing the expression on Ye Lanluo's face

I heard that there will be many outstanding works at tomorrow's art exhibition, Ye Lanluo, are you interested in fine arts? I smiled and continued to look for topics to discuss

For some reason, every time I see this shade of night blue, I am reminded of that beautiful boy from the past. He sat there alone, with an expression on his face that was both lonely and heart-wrenching

He cast a complex glance at me, seemingly unable to understand why I suddenly came to ask these questions

My cheeks instantly flushed

Xiao Le and I were assigned to clean a secluded area. As we lazily tidied up, we chatted about some interesting topics

He does not seem to be as cold as he appears on the outside

Indeed ... ? ... Did I still ask a question that I should not have asked ?

He appears to be someone who is not good at expressing himself, and must be enduring some sorrowful matters on his own

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in my line of sight

The sleeves of his shirt are casually rolled up, yet they do not give off a sloppy impression. His black hair is neatly styled and clean, displaying a warm hue under the sunlight

I found that I was approaching him, and unexpectedly, Ye Lanluo stopped in his tracks. It seemed that he was standing there waiting for me

I merely went to speak with Ye Lanluo; she must have thought of something else...

After bidding farewell to Xiaole, I walked home alone

It feels as if we have known each other for a long time already

Yelan looked at me faintly and replied succinctly: "Mm"

Sigh ... ...

I furrowed my brow slightly in helplessness

The air seemed to freeze in that moment

His gaze lightly swept over me, not lingering for long, yet I felt as if a subtle current surged from the top of my head throughout my body, striking my heart and causing a slight shiver

Hmm," he softly uttered such a word

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but want to approach him and comfort him

I never expected Ye Lanluo to respond to me: "Other than that... there isn't much, just some exercise"

What exactly is that familiar feeling deep down inside?

You know Gu Yichen, don't you? Are you... friends? After carefully considering many words, I managed to utter this sentence with difficulty

He merely frowned but did not answer my question; instead, he turned and left without even saying goodbye

"That, Xiaole, I have something to attend to, I will be back shortly..." My gaze followed the slowly advancing Yelan Luo, and after hastily giving a brief instruction to Xiaole, I hurried in the direction of Yelan Luo.

But why am I so concerned about his reaction

Why is it that he speaks so briefly every time?

However, an unexpected event occurred that I did not anticipate

After pondering for a while, I cautiously asked, "Um, Yelan Luo, I have one more question."

Thinking of this, I no longer felt timid and proceeded to ask many questions consecutively

Xiao Le displayed a knowing expression, made a gesture of encouragement, and wore a sly smile on her face

I smiled somewhat shyly

It is a night of deep blue.

"Not bad." His response was straightforward, "I have studied."

I took a few deep breaths

Yelan's expression finally showed a hint of change

I hastily concluded the thorough cleaning, and until the school bell rang, I kept wondering if I had said something wrong earlier

Sigh ... ...

Suddenly, a question that has troubled me for a long time flashed through my mind

Ah... I quickly said with approval, "I used to enjoy painting as well, but I simply lack the talent." I racked my brain trying to think of something to say that might pique his interest, "Do you... have any other hobbies?"

Although this response is still quite brief, it contains significantly more words than before, which gives me a bit more confidence

Although he answered me using the simplest and most straightforward language, he did not show the slightest sign of impatience

"Hi, are you working alone in a group?" I took a deep breath and greeted him naturally with a very relaxed topic in a clear tone
