Chapter 5

"Xiao Ran, there is an art competition in the city. You can also participate in it." Mr. Liu looked at him with a kind smile.

Xiao Ran raised his head and said, "Can I also participate?"

"Of course, here is a registration form. You can fill it out first." With that, he took out a watch.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Xiao Ran picked up the form and began to fill it out carefully.

"The time for handing in the work is two weeks later. You may have to hurry up. You can prepare the work in these two weeks without using the studio."

"Well, I will."

The bright scenery in the suburbs came to my mind. I like it very much. There are no unnecessary impurities, and I can feel comfortable at will. Thinking of the blue sky that I inadvertently saw, the distant and vast clear sky, the dripping blue, my heart is about to melt.

A week after that, Xiao Ran often went to that place, slowly looking for inspiration and wanted to touch the dreamy depths of color. The painting gradually appeared on the paper, and Xiao Ran was full of heart. It didn't matter if he didn't participate in the competition.

"You left so early recently that you don't have to go to the studio?" Recently, Xiao Ran left in a hurry after class. Today, Lin Jimian asked before he left. My deskmate is packing up.

"Oh, I participated in an art competition, and the time is a little tight." Although there is little contact, Xiao Ran generally does not hide anything.

"How's the painting going?"

"It's almost over." After packing up the things, Xiao Ran took the painting tools and went out.

Lin Jimian thought, if you stay for a while, the guy Jiu should come soon. It's time to take him to find something to eat. Every time he stares at his prey, the dove's life is not very good. This guy is like a little greedy cat. Every time he follows him and eats his blood with relish. It is rare to eat a special taste, which can make him happy for a long time, so he always sticks to him every time. In fact, I only like the smell of blood, and the body is just left to him.

"What did you take?" Yang Xiaoheng, who was opposite, had a bad smile on his face, followed by several of his buddies, who also looked like ruffians.

"..." Xiao Ran didn't want to talk to him, so he went straight forward.

"Let me have a look." Yang Xiaoheng grabbed Xiao Ran's arm.

"It doesn't matter about your business, let it go." Xiao Ran said coldly. It may be a little troublesome today.

"You are quite strong today. I'm going to watch it!" After saying that, Yang Xiaoheng pulled the picture clip over with one hand. Xiao Ran grabbed it fiercely, but he was afraid of damaging the entries and could only let go.

"Oh, it's well painted. I took it, ah." Turn around and you're about to leave. Xiao Ran grabbed him and said, "Give it back to me!" There was obvious anger in his tone.

Lin Jimian saw what was happening outside through the glass, and also saw the anger gradually overflowing in Xiao Ran's eyes. He was finally angry, and the expression on his face was quite vivid. There was a good show today. So he lay down at the window and waited for the good play.

"What's your attitude?" Yang Xiaoheng became a little surprised. He seldom was so arrogant with himself. He had to teach him a good lesson today.

He took out the painting and shook it in front of Xiao Ran, smiling evilly. Xiao Ran immediately realized what he was going to do and reached out to grab it. Yang Xiaoheng was so strong that he pushed Xiao Ran to the ground. Without mercy, he tore the painting into a few pieces and scattered it in front of Xiao Ran.

At that moment, it was like a thousand pounds of hammer hitting Xiao Ran's heart, and a feeling of instant smashing suddenly completely annihilated him. Obviously, the flame of anger burned quickly in his eyes, and a fierce anger rushed up from the bottom of his heart. And the whole eyes are not as calm and indifferent as usual, gloomy and very frightening, like a violent beast that suddenly gets angry, which can tear its prey to pieces in an instant. Seeing this, Yang Xiaoheng's heart suddenly shivered.

Xiao Ran clenched his fist tightly and rushed to Yang Xiaoheng. He waved his arm and hit him in the face with a heavy punch, which caught him off guard, and his cheeks suddenly hurt hotly. Several people behind him were ready to take action. Yang Xiaoheng stopped them, "I'll do it myself!"

He came forward and grabbed Xiao Ran's neckline and punched him in the face. Xiao Ran staggered back a few steps and immediately raised his foot and kicked Yang Xiaoheng's abdomen, but was caught. Xiao Ran did not show weakness at all, and the two began to fight. Although Yang Xiaoheng also suffered from Xiao Ran a few times, Xiao Ran was originally thinner than him. In addition to his fists and feet that he often fought outside, Xiao Ran was not his opponent at all, and soon fell to the ground.

Yang Xiaoheng looked at the colorful person on his face. His hair looked messy, and the corners of his clothes were torn. The sleeves of the shirt exposed his snow-white arms. Several bright red scars on it were particularly conspicuous, and the bright red blood oozed from the corners of his light red lips. Yang Xiaoheng didn't seem to be relieved. He stepped forward and kicked him a few times, kicking and scolding, "Damn it, aren't you looking for death? Dare to mess with me, I don't want to live! Let me tell you, I have a lot of time with you!"

Although he felt pain, Xiao Ran still tried his best to suppress his throat and prevent it from making a sound. That was too unpleasant.

Yang Xiaoheng was tired and walked away with his buddy. Some onlookers next to him did not dare to provoke the bully and left after watching the play.

Xiao Ran bit his lip and slowly stood up. He didn't have any strength, but just stood stunned. Looking at the broken pieces of paper scattered on the ground, I suddenly felt that my whole heart had been dug out, and the warmth and softness in the bottom of my heart had disappeared. The beautiful color was broken, and the whole dream dissipated, leaving only the illusory gloom.

Just now, Xiao Ran's angry expression slowly tightened Lin Jimian's loose heart, which was the persistence he had never seen before. I have never cared so much about anything, because it is easy to get what you want and you won't cherish it. And this person has never argued for anything, only this one! What on earth do you care about?

Looking at Xiao Ran with a lonely face outside the window, Lin Jimian began to feel any pain in his heart that he didn't realize, and his heart seemed to be hooked by something.

The dove glanced out of the window, "Yi, what are you looking at?" I don't know when the dove approached, but Lin Jimian didn't notice it.

"It was agreed to take me to have a good meal today. Is it time to go? I'm hungry." Jiu looked at Lin Jimian with an expectant face.

"I have something to do today. Let's do it next time." When he said this, Lin Jimian himself was surprised. Looking at the disappointed dove's poor appearance, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll compensate you next time. You go first." After saying that, he pushed the dove.

"It was clearly agreed. You have never been like this before..." With a bitter face, he sighed and looked back at the strange thing today. Did you encounter something troublesome? Will he also be in trouble? Jiu thought to himself, let him solve it by himself and find something to eat first. Open the window and jump out.

Lin Jimian looked at the motionless man still standing out of the window and walked over.

Xiao Ran was in a trance, and his head was blank. A figure picked up the picture clip and broken drawing paper on the ground and walked towards him, and then recognized that it was his deskmate. Xiao Ran felt strange and looked at him.

"What are you still standing for? Let's go." Lin Jimian's tone was very soft. Seeing that he stood still and looked at himself doubtfully like a prison labor reformer with a scar on his face, he suddenly wanted to laugh. So he took his hand and left.

"You are quite brave today." At this time, don't forget to tease this person.

"Hey, where are you going?" Finally, Xiao Ran, who had recovered a little, wanted to break free, but his hand was held tighter.

"Go to the hospital. You think you look good like this." Lin Jimian looked back at the man who had lost his soul.

That's right. It must be ugly like this. Xiao Ran thought about it. I will go by myself." He suddenly pulled out his hand when he was unprepared. Take the picture clip and walk to the school gate. Lin Jimian frowned and looked at the stubborn back. He put his hands in the bag and followed him silently. He didn't understand why he followed him.

No one said anything along the way. Xiao Ran grabbed the picture clip more and more tightly, and his hands turned white. My mind was full of the scene just now, and I began to be numb and confused. Obviously, it was intact just now, and the feeling of fragmentation made his mind begin to swell, Yang Xiaoheng! I will definitely get it back!
