4、bunny and cheetah 顾延珏 ...

顾延珏的钢笔在便签纸上沙沙滑动,Alexander看着他骨节分明的手指在纸上游走,留下深蓝色的墨迹。那张便条被推过来时,还带着淡淡的雪松香气。
[顾延珏]
[格***区枫叶街23号]
[电话:079×××××××]
Alexander的指尖轻轻拂过纸面,墨迹还有些湿润。"Thanks."他咬了咬下唇,鼓起勇气问道:"Do you...live alone in Gr*****?" 声音轻得像羽毛拂过琴弦。
“Yeah, I am an international student.”
“That's cool.” Alexander表面强装镇定,内心却因与顾延珏住得近而窃喜:“So……how long have you been in the U*?”
“It's been over a year.”
Alexander正欲接话,突然被一阵铃声打断,这才意识到已经上课了,于是冲顾延珏做了个噤声的手势,全神贯注地看向讲台,但眼角的余光却不时瞥向顾延珏。
顾珽趁机塞来一张纸条:[You look like a bunny sneaking peeks at carrots.] 旁边画着一只竖着长耳朵的兔子,正鬼鬼祟祟地偷看。
Alexander看到纸条上的内容,差点笑出声,连忙用书本挡住,轻咳一声来掩饰,然后在纸条下方回道: [And you look like a……cheetah waiting to pounce.] 画了只龇牙咧嘴的猎豹,尾巴还得意地翘着。Alexander写完后将纸条递给顾延珏,努力控制自己的表情,眼睛却忍不住弯了弯。
被传回来的纸条上写[Caught red - handed. You clever little bunny, you've seen right through me. Guilty as charged—I've got my eyes on you.]
Alexander脸颊有些发热,继续在纸条上回应[Well, you'd better not pounce too hard.] Alexander假装不经意地抬头看了顾延珏一眼,又迅速低下头。
顾延珏嘴角勾起一抹势在必得的笑,快速在纸条上写下回复,指尖轻轻将纸条推回,眼底盛满笑意[Only if you promise to run slow enough for me to catch. ]
纸条传回来时,Alexander发现顾延珏在"catch"下面画了道波浪线,墨迹因为用力过猛有些晕开。他的耳尖瞬间红了,像被晚霞染红的云朵。
Alexander感受到顾延珏的目光,脸上的温度更高了,好在教授此时转身在黑板上写板书,才让紧张到有些慌乱的自己有了喘息的机会[We'll see about that.] Alexander匆匆写完便将纸条塞给顾延珏,手指不经意触碰到顾延珏的手,像被烫到般快速收回。
顾延珏指尖残留着若有若无的温度,快速在纸条上写下回应,不动声色地把纸条压在Alexander的笔记本下[Game on, bunny. ]在末尾画了只吐舌头的猎豹简笔画,等Alexander翻开本子时,正巧对上顾延珏慌乱又带着笑意的眼神。
Alexander翻开本子看到纸条上的内容和简笔画,嘴角忍不住微微上扬:“ It seems like you really have a thing for this game.” 将纸条小心翼翼地收好,故作镇定地翻开课本,用余光悄悄看了顾延珏一眼。
顾延珏压低声音,把身子微微倾向Alexander,嘴角挂着得逞的坏笑:“Oh, I'm all in. Especially when the prize is a certain adorable bunny who's way too good at making my heart race. ”温热的呼吸拂过耳廓,让Alexander差点从座位上弹起来。
顾延珏飞快地冲Alexander眨了下眼睛,然后假装一本正经地看向黑板,手指却在桌子上轻轻敲着欢快的节奏。
Alexander脸唰一下红了,一直红到耳根,好在教室里灯光昏暗,不太看得出来。Alexander努力控制自己的心跳,假装专注地看着黑板,用几乎只有自己能听到的声音轻声说道:“You're……quite the teaser.”
“You're the most adorably bashful bunny I've ever seen.”
Alexander假装咳嗽来掩饰自己的羞涩,趁机用余光偷瞄顾延珏:“Well, you're……大脑飞速运转,想找个合适的词来形容顾延珏“ a rather cheeky cheetah. ”
顾延珏凑到Alexander耳边道:“The honor’s all mine. I’ll wear the “cheeky cheetah” title with pride, especially when it comes from my favorite blushing bunny.”
Alexander被顾延珏的话弄得耳朵痒痒的,脸也更红了,好在这时下课铃响起,连忙站起身来,故作镇定地收拾东西:“Well, it’s been……an interesting class.”
顾延珏利落地合上书本,故意慢悠悠地将纸条叠好塞进兜里,挑眉看向Alexander:“ The most interesting I’ve had in ages. ”顾延珏凑在Alexander耳边压低声音:“Though I think the real highlight was sitting next to you. Care to make our next 'class' a coffee break.”
Alexander看着顾延珏近在咫尺的脸,心跳漏了一拍,下意识地往后退了一步,结结巴巴地说:“ I……uh……sure. ”试图让自己镇定下来,然后清了清嗓子:“ When and where?”
“How about tomorrow afternoon at that cozy café on Elm Street? 3 p.m.? I’ll save you a seat—and maybe a fewHow about tomorrow afternoon at that cozy café on Elm Street? 3 p.m.? I’ll save you a seat—and maybe a few more cheeky lines. ”顾延珏眨眨眼,笑着把背包甩上肩。
Alexander努力平复着心中的悸动,装作若无其事地耸耸肩:“ Sure, sounds good. ”嘴角不自觉地上扬“See you then.”他看着顾珽倒退着走向门口,阳光给他的轮廓镀上金边。
顾延珏冲Alexander比了个“OK”的手势,眼里闪着光:“Can’t wait. And hey——”Alexander看着顾延珏在门口眨眼:“wear something comfy. I might need to chase you down if you try to bolt.”话音未落,他已经消失在走廊的光晕里,只留下Alexander站在原地,手里攥着那张带着体温的便条。
