Though Lin You hadn’t changed classes, half of his day was dedicated to attending art training, so his desk was always empty. Lu Qingyan turned his head, and instead of seeing Lin You’s delicate and fair profile, he saw the green and dense wutongleaves outside the window, blocking out the sunlight.
Nearly two months had passed and Lu Qingyan still couldn’t adapt to this kind of life.
Sometimes during classes, he would suddenly say to his side, “Lin You, pass me the pen.”
Or he would subconsciously reach out his hand, thinking that Lin You was still beside him, and just by reaching out, he could hold Lin You’s slightly smaller hand in his own palm.
But it all came to nothing.
In the palm of his hand, he only grasped a handful of air.
Lu Qingyan withdrew his hand and glanced at Lin You’s empty desk a few times.
It was only at moments like this that he truly realized how important Lin You working so hard so that their universities could be closer to each other was to him.
It hadn’t been long since they separated, and they were still at the same school, yet Lu Qingyan could already deeply feel the hardships of a long-distance relationship.
He couldn’t help but wonder how those actual long-distance couples managed to survive.
Taking advantage of being in the last row, where the teacher couldn’t see, Lu Qingyan took out a box of chocolates from his desk. Unlike the exquisitely crafted chocolates sold outside, these chocolates were somewhat odd in shape, the person making them seemed to be quite clumsy— the heart-shaped ones were crooked, and the maple leaf ones were wrinkled.
Lu Qingyan peeled one off and put it into his mouth, wincing at its overwhelming sweetness.
These chocolates were handmade by Lin You himself.
A few days ago, Lu Qingyan had hinted indirectly that he had expected to receive chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Although the portrait Lin You drew wasn’t bad, chocolate would have been nice too.
Lin You had sneered at that, teasing him about whether he had read too many school life shoujo mangas, which was why his teenage heart was running wild.
But the next morning, Lin You tossed a box of chocolates at him, pretending to be cool and nonchalant, saying, “The cake shop had a promotion last night, handmade chocolates were on sale, so I made a box for you.”
After Lin You finished speaking, he pursed his lips and his gaze drifted to the streetlamp outside the window, avoiding Lu Qingyan’s eyes. At the same time, his ears turned a faint pink, and his eyelashes even fluttered.
Lu Qingyan held the chocolates, maintaining a composed expression, but inside, he was thinking that if they weren’t in the classroom right now, he would definitely push Lin You against the wall and kiss him. He would caress his waistline, nibble, and kiss his lips until they cracked, and Lin You would have no choice but to beg for mercy with tears in his eyes.
Lin You’s embarassed yet pretending-to-be-cool appearance was simply a foul.
Now that Lin You wasn’t by his side, Lu Qingyan could only alleviate his lovesickness by eating a piece of chocolate made by his wife.

Ye Nanshan noticed and wanted to ask Lu Qingyan for a piece.
After all, it was a rare chance to be able to taste chocolate handmade by Lin You himself, no matter how peculiar they might taste.
But Lu Qingyan, who had always been generous, stuffed the chocolate into his desk and said stingily, “No more.”
Ye Nanshan was about to say something, but Lu Qingyan gave him an impolite look and said, “If you want to have some, go find your own partner. Stop thinking about other people’s boyfriends.”
Ye Nanshan was so infuriated that he raised his middle finger at Lu Qingyan.
If he had a wife, would he still need to watch Lu Qingyan show off his love like this?! Huh?
When classes were over in the evening, Lin You’s training took a bit longer, so Lu Qingyan waited for him outside his classroom.
Through the glass window of the classroom, he could see Lin You earnestly drawing on the easel in front of him. It was almost summer, and Lin You had discarded his school cardigan, revealing a white shirt, a deep red striped tie, and gray trousers, looking fresh and neat.
But perhaps he disliked the tie for getting in his way, Lin You had slung it to hang messily on his shoulder. Only because of his good looks that he could pull off such a style and still appear casual and handsome.
Lu Qingyan’s gaze lingered on Lin You’s slender waist for a while, unable to turn his eyes away for quite some time.
He didn’t know if it was because he saw Lin You through the boyfriend filter.
But no matter how he looked at Lin You, he found him adorable.
After twenty minutes, Lin You finally finished today’s assignment and walked out with some new classmates from the class. He was that person with great popularity wherever he went. He only joined this class two months ago, but he’s already made friends with everyone. They all smiled and said goodbye to him.
Lin You waved back at them before running to Lu Qingyan’s side.
There was a small blue watercolor stain on his face, like a sticker on his snow-white skin, and he was completely unaware of it.
Lu Qingyan reached out to wipe it clean for him and took the opportunity to give him a peck on the cheek seeing that no one was around.
Lin You didn’t mind his clingy behavior. The two held hands as they walked towards the stairs.
“What do you want to eat tonight?” Lu Qingyan asked.
Lin You thought for a moment and replied, “How about takoyaki? I also feel like having a crepe. I was so hungry during class; all I could think about was food.”
So they went and ate takoyaki and crepes.
The street behind the school was filled with restaurants and food stalls, and they would often run into their classmates every few steps. It wasn’t as cold as winter any more, and groups of students stood around, eating and chatting.
Lin You got a bit of a brown sauce on his lips and enthusiastically told Lu Qingyan about what happened during his art class.
Most of his classmates in this class were omegas, and today, a big gray moth had somehow flown into the classroom, causing panic and screams among the omegas.
“But that’s not the worst part. When I turned around, those two alphas by the wall were also so scared that they hid behind the table,” Lin You said with a look of intolerance. “In the end, I had to climb on the table and catch that moth myself. I mean, seriously, the mental resilience of you alphas are just too weak.”
Lu Qingyan, as an alpha, was unjustly implicated for no reason. He felt rather innocent, he wasn’t afraid of insects at all.
“By the way, did Cai Xiaoguo mention anything about summer school?” Lin You asked.
“He did. We only get a two-week summer break in our second year, and it’s separated, one in July and one in August, truly creative,” Lu Qingyan lowered his head and looked at Lin You. “And you? Are you also attending summer school?”
Lin You was just about to tell him about this.
He quickly finished the last bit of the crepe with a few bites and swallowed it down before casually saying, “Well, our art training plans have changed last minute too. You know right, the art class will have a training camp during the summer break.”
Their training camp wasn’t at their school but in a training base in the suburbs. That place was surrounded by picturesque scenery, but it was also quite remote. They could go for half a day without seeing another person, and the Wi-Fi connection was also unreliable.
Lu Qingyan had a bad feeling about this. He remembered that last year, the art class only had one month of training in their second year, and the remaining month was spent catching up on academic subjects at school.
“Why did it change?” he asked.
Lin You’s gaze wandered into the distance, and his voice grew quieter as he said, “This year, our art training will last for two months, and we only get ten days off. So, I won’t be able to join you at summer school.”
Lu Qingyan emotionlessly flattened the paper box in his hand.
Lin You guiltily turned his head away.
Just a few days ago, he had confidently assured Lu Qingyan that their art training would only last for one month, and they would have another month to be together. It wouldn’t be a loss.
Who would have thought the plans would change like this?
“When are you leaving?” Lu Qingyan asked.
Lin You’s voice was as quiet as a mosquito humming, “On July 5th.”
This meant he would have to leave right after finishing their final exams.
Lu Qingyan reached out and pressed the corner of Lin You’s mouth to help him wipe off that little bit of sauce.
In a seemingly calm tone, he suggested, “Is it still possible to oppose your decision to pursue art? Why don’t could reconsider? Science and engineering are pretty good too.”
Lin You quickly shook his head, grinned mischievously, and then jumped up to give Lu Qingyan a few kisses on his face, coaxing him like a little love scammer, “We’ll have a break in the middle of the training, and as soon as I go on break, I’ll come back to see you.”
Lu Qingyan was so coaxed by Lin You’s words that he had nothing left to live for. Although his heart was filled with despair, he couldn’t help but curve his lips when he was kissed.
As they walked together towards the school entrance, Lu Qingyan thought to himself that he was truly hopeless, destined to be trapped within Lin You’s palm forever.
When they reached the school building, one headed upstairs while the other headed to the first floor.
One went back to class for evening self-study, while the other went to class to continue drawing.
But after only taking a few steps, they both unconsciously stopped and turned around to look at the other.
Lin You, dressed in a white shirt and gray cardigan, stood on the dimly lit stairs. With his slim waist, long legs, fair skin, and fingers resting on the railing that were as delicate as green onions, he resembled very much like a beautiful youth stepping out of a manhua.
When he smiled, a small dimple appeared on the corner of his mouth, faintly visible in the dim light, so sweet that Lu Qingyan’s heart was about to melt.
Lin You blew a kiss to Lu Qingyan and said, “Wait for me tonight, let’s go back to our dorms together.”
Then, he quickly ran up the stairs.
Lu Qingyan stood in place for quite a while before smiling helplessly and heading toward his own classroom.
