Did Not Say Anything About My Feelings - Chapter 11 Part 1. Little Girl
He did not remember when he fell asleep. After he woke up from his dreams, he caught a glimpse of the daylight outside the window. Lin Ye suddenly remembered that the recording session for the re-rating was at 9 am today. He turned over and sat up. He began to suspect that the scene of him sitting next to Jiang Lian and Ming Rang had been just a dream.
That was until he saw the long black down jacket hanging on the back of the chair opposite him.
The dormitory room was still well heated, but it was empty. There was no doubt in his mind that the other two people had already left and they did not even wake him up. Lin Ye got up from the sofa and hurriedly picked up his room key that he had thrown on the table yesterday night, grabbing his down jacket that was on the back of the chair and holding it in his arms, he turned around to head towards the door.
Jiang Lian had probably heard movement and walked out from the bathroom, wiping his wet hair, “It’s still early.”
Lin Ye raised his head to look for the wall clock, only to find that the hour hand and minute hand of the clock was permanently fixed on the number twelve.
He looked out of the window again, the outside world was so bright it was almost white. He hesitated, “The sky always turns bright early in winter.”
Jiang Lian did not speak and walked to the window to push it open. The cold air entered the room and he turned his head back to say, “After you fell asleep, it started to snow.”
Lin Ye paused for a moment, “It snowed?” He hugged his down jacket in his arms and walked towards the window. He put his two hands on the windowsill and raised his eyes to gaze outside. He saw a thick layer of snow covering the brick-red small building in the distance. The snow was pure and white.
His eyes were bright and energetic, he leaned out his upper body and lowered his head to look downstairs. He did not even notice that his two hands that he had pressed on the window sill were slowly turning red from the cold.
When Jiang Lian saw this, he said, “You haven’t seen snow before?”
Lin Ye’s gaze skimmed over the footprints in the snow downstairs, and he subconsciously replied, “I have seen snow before, but I’ve never seen such heavy snowfall before.”
“You can look at it for as long as you want to after you’re done with the recording,” Jiang Lian’s words were concise and he reached out his hand from behind Lin Ye, wanting to close the window.
When Lin Ye put down his hand and was about to retreat from the window, he heard familiar voices coming from the snow-covered area. He even heard his name from the scattered sounds of conversation. He looked over towards the voices and saw Xia Dongchen and his other two roommates that he had not seen for one night. They were walking side by side in the snow.
Xia Dongchen looked clean and fresh, his smile was bright, and every step was full of confidence.
Only then did Lin Ye remember that he had not returned all night. He turned away and wanted to walk away from the window.
It seemed that Xia Dongchen, who was chatting happily, noticed, and suddenly raised his head to look straight at the window where he and Jiang Lian were standing at.
He did not want to be seen by Xia Dongchan, so Lin Ye suddenly took a big step back. He did not expect his back to hit the chest of the person behind him. Jiang Lian raised his hand promptly and moved his hand past Lin Ye to close the window. From the side, it looked like he was holding Lin Ye in his arms.
Lin Ye’s eyelids twitched and saw in the reflection on the glass window that he looked confused. He also saw Jiang Lian’s calm black eyes behind him. He instantly calmed down and scolded himself in his heart for making a fuss over nothing. He bent down and got out of his original spot by ducking under Jiang Lian’s arm, “I’m leaving now.”
Jiang Lian nodded without care, when Lin Ye had walked to the door, he lifted his eyes and opened his mouth, “Wash your face properly when you go back. Remember to put on lip balm.”
Lin Ye not only put on lip balm, he even put on lipstick.
He returned to his dormitory room to change into his class uniform. Then, he washed his face and walked out of the hostel building without any makeup or product on his face. Xia Dongchan saw him in the lounge. He did not ask him where he went yesterday night, but looked very surprised, “Are you going to record the program like this?
Lin Ye nodded his head, his gaze landing on Xia Dongchan’s face.
When he had been standing upstairs and looking down, he had just felt that Xia Dongchan’s face was glowing under the natural light. Now that he was looking at Xia Dongchan up close, he realized that the other party had put on light makeup.
Xia Dongchan lowered his voice, “Look around you. Besides for you, no one else came here without putting on makeup.”
He dragged Lin Ye to the corner and sat down. He put some white powder on Lin Ye’s face and helped him put on some lipstick. Finally, he clapped his hands and passed him a mirror, looking quite satisfied, “Take a look.”
