On Xu Sheng's birthday, he had to go to the studio. Aunt Kang still had a class to attend, so Xu Sheng thought of painting a picture, so he set off from home in advance.
He sent a text message to Xu Yaping: Mom, I'm going out.
Xu Yaping: Pay attention to safety on the road. Mom took a half-day off today and can come over in the afternoon.
At the same time, there is a message lying on the chat interface, and the message time is zero.
Boyfriend: Happy birthday.
This summer seems to be extraordinarily long. At the end of September, the autumnal equinox, the temperature is still high. However, the temperature difference between day and night in City A is large. Xu Sheng put on a coat when he went out. He walked through the crowded place and walked out from the station entrance.
Xu Sheng stared at the phone screen for a while, and couldn't help but wonder what Shao Zhan was doing now.
Should be writing a question.
In addition to the college entrance examination simulation paper, we also have to practice the competition questions... After the third year of high school, the tasks of the Linjiang competition team have become more and more onerous.
Xu Sheng was very satisfied when he received a happy birthday at 0:00. He asked for a gift just casually, but if Shao Zhan was here now, he might be more satisfied.
There are only two months left until the December joint entrance examination. Many students in the studio came to the studio to participate in the training in advance after the first round of the school exam.
When Xu Sheng arrived, he saw a woman sitting not far from the door giving a demonstration to his classmates: "You interlining, the colors are too dirty, when you adjust the colors..."
It was windy outside, Xu Sheng was wearing a hat, and the broken hair on his forehead was still messed up by the wind. After he entered the door, he called "Aunt Kang".
"Coming?" the woman said.
Xu Sheng said "um", and the female classmate who was standing beside Aunt Kang, watching him change his painting, bent over at him and greeted him, "Assistant Xu."
Xu Sheng: "…"
Aunt Kang raised her eyebrows: "Know? When did you become my teaching assistant? Why don't I know."
Xu Sheng touched his nose: "It may be a bit of a misunderstanding."
Xu Sheng will come to the studio to practice painting on weekends, and spend most of the time hiding in a small room with Kang Kai.
Occasionally, he opened the door and went out to answer Shao Zhan's phone call. The phone hadn't been answered yet, and there was a short girl sitting in the empty studio during the lunch break. She was worried about the painting and looked like she didn't want to cry.
Girls can't keep up with the progress, and their drawings are always unsatisfactory. They sit alone and hold their breath.
She was about to draw back when she saw a person leaning on the wall beside her. The boy's eyes were raised with a smile, and the shredded light flashed like the ear stud beside her ear. He took it a little further, and appeared a little careless when he spoke: "Little classmate, try adding more ambient colors when you draw the main subject."
Girl: "Huh?"
Xu Sheng took the phone close again, it seemed that the person on the other side said something, he chuckled and said, "What a mess, aren't you the only person I've touched, don't say it, I'll change it for someone else. painting."
After Xu Sheng hung up the phone, she motioned for her to get up and make room.
When this girl painted the main subject, she used the same color for shades and sensitivity. For the brown ceramic jar, she directly used brown and white transitions, and there was basically no color.
Xu Sheng painted very slowly, and told her carefully how to paint reflections, what the basis of the color wheel was, and how to add ambient color to her for half an hour.
Maybe it was the "little classmate" that made her think she was a teaching assistant, and she had never seen him come to study in the studio before.
Xu Sheng also explained: "Last time you were not on the lunch break, I helped change the painting, and..." Xu Sheng took off the hood that covered half of his face and said, "Little classmate, I'm not a teaching assistant. ."
The girl was watching Teacher Kang's demonstration, but she couldn't take her eyes away from the moment the boy entered the door, until he pushed open the compartment door inside, leaned on the door and said a few words to someone before entering.
The girl said in her heart that she was not a teaching assistant.
It's a pity to think, no wonder I haven't seen him for so many days.
When Kang Kai saw him, his first reaction was to throw a bottle of water over there: "You only come to the studio for two days a week, can you spare the girl in our studio, the girl is a good person, but recently I've been asking about teaching assistants every day, and I thought my mother was my mother. What a new recruit."
Xu Sheng unscrewed the bottle cap, sat down on the easel, stepped on the bar under the easel and said, "What are you talking about, I don't like women."
Kang Kaixin said, you don't like it, but if you like it, it's okay.
As soon as Xu Sheng finished his draft, his phone kept vibrating, and the class group was very lively.
Hou Jun didn't know where he knew that today was Xu Sheng's birthday, so he organized everyone to send him a blessing in the group.
Hou Jun: Brother Sheng, we don't talk about gifts or gifts for our previous friendship. I'll come first, and the future is bright!
Tan Kai: The Academy of Fine Arts must pass!
Yuan Ziqiang: Kaizi, why did you steal my lines
Qiu Qiu: Happy birthday to Brother Sheng~ I wish the art exam a success.
…
All the students in Class 7 knew that Xu Sheng would soon leave the cultural class temporarily and go to the studio to participate in the training camp. They didn't know what an art test was before, but now that they know it, they only feel that it is a very courageous thing for a person to take a step forward and take another one when everyone is walking the same path.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Yaping got off work, and the studio just got off.
Aunt Kang set up a dining table in the small yard outside the studio. Several people sat together for a simple meal. The birthday cake was not big. On a paper star: Then, let's go, this paper star and the person who folded the star.
"It's so big in the blink of an eye." Xu Yaping sighed with emotion after making a wish to sit back.
Aunt Kang smiled at the dining table: "Yes, the first time I saw Xiaosheng, he was as high as my shoulders."
The two talked about "training" from this topic. Aunt Kang said: "I want them to go to another studio for training together. My senior brother may be more suitable than me to take them."
Aunt Kang usually brings trainees, but Xu Sheng and Kang Kai's level is different from that of ordinary students, and what they need to learn is not only the standard exam content. The studio she recommended is called "Three Primary Colors". This studio is well-known in City A. In the urban area of City A, there is a special dormitory area. It also teaches better than her in terms of "design and modeling".
Xu Sheng listened absent-mindedly and frequently looked down at the time.
Seeing that the two of them chatted until 8:30 and didn't want to stop.
Xu Sheng lowered his head and chatted with Shao Zhan secretly.
-what are you doing.
-Eating, listening to my mother and Aunt Kang chatting.
Tomorrow is Monday, Xu Yaping wanted him to get up early and go back to school tomorrow morning, but Xu Sheng couldn't sit still and put away his phone: "Mom, Aunt Kang, I went back to school early, there is a test in class on Monday, and I didn't bring any books with me. Come back, you have to go back to study."
Xu Yaping got up. Although she was surprised, she didn't think much about it: "Returning to school so late?"
"..." Only Kang Kai looked at him with penetrating eyes from the side.
Kang Kai's mouth shape: rely on.
Xu Sheng also slowly turned his back, pulled up his hat to make a mouth shape and said: Shut up.
It was dark, and the reflection of the street lights was stretched for a long time. After getting in the car, Xu Sheng sent a message to Shao Zhan: I want to see you.
The opposite side returned very quickly, and there were only three words.
- Come to the intersection.
-
what intersection.
Xu Sheng's mind turned around for several times, but he couldn't figure out where the intersection that appeared out of nowhere was until Shao Zhan sent a picture.
In the photo, the traffic at the intersection in the center is sparse, the shop on the other side of the intersection is half-closed, and half of the road signs are exposed in the corner of the photo. This place is so familiar to him that it is the street opposite the studio.
In order to adjust the angle when taking pictures, Shao Zhan held his mobile phone, and a few of his knuckles were accidentally captured in the photo.
Shao Zhan went out in the afternoon to "buy gifts", and he got to this point. Although he couldn't celebrate his birthday together, he couldn't help getting here by car. He wanted to get off the bus and meet him at the intersection.
Xu Sheng looked at the scenery outside the window and thought that the end of the train was completely opposite to the studio: "...Fuck."
Didn't they run away.
Xu Sheng was too lazy to explain, so he made a phone call directly.
"Brother, you are awesome," Xu Sheng said. "Guess where I am now?"
Shao Zhan leaned on the railing beside him, and when he heard the whistle coming from the opposite side, he had a faint guess in his heart: "In the car?"
"It was on the bus back to school," Xu Sheng added. "I still have half an hour to get to school."
It was rare for Shao Zhan to utter a swear word. The tone of his swear words was completely different from his usual eccentric attitude. Xu Sheng could only hear him swear in two situations, and the other situation was in bed.
After Xu Sheng finished speaking, he felt that the situation between the two of them was quite interesting. He leaned against the car window and asked with a smile, "... Should I come or you will come back?"
"I'll come over."
Shao Zhan said, "You wait."
When Xu Sheng arrived at the school, Shao Zhan still had more than 20 minutes to arrive at the station.
Running back and forth, sweating profusely, he went back to the dormitory to take a shower, and then waited for him when it was almost time to look.
Shao Zhan came back over the wall and walked up the stairs. Across the long corridor, he saw a young man squatting at the door of his bedroom. Xu Sheng was too lazy to wipe his hair. He sent a message to Xu Yaping and saw it without looking up. A dark shadow covered in front of him.
There is no need to wear a school uniform on weekends, so Shao Zhan wore a white shirt with a tightly buttoned collar: "Get up."
Xu Sheng took a shower and put on a loose T-shirt, followed him into the room, and said casually, "What are you doing in the studio?"
Shao Zhan asked back, "Why are you running back to school?"
The answer speaks for itself.
After Xu Sheng entered the door, he suddenly remembered the phrase "still young" two months ago. After a long delay on the road, the dormitory arrived early to turn off the lights. When I opened the door, I could barely see the furnishings in the house by the light of the sensor lights in the corridor.
Xu Sheng drank beverages at the dinner table in the evening, but when the door closed, it was like drinking two pots of wine.
With the light when he opened the door just now, he roughly wrote down where Shao Zhan was, and when he reached out, he really touched the boy's thin wrist—then he approached him, and in the dark he leaned into his ear without any scruples. : "Brother, try it."
"… "
Shao Zhan's kiss was pressed down hard, and because he couldn't see the direction clearly, it landed on the bridge of Xu Sheng's nose, and then gradually went down.
Xu Sheng leaned against the door, his back hurt.
It took a while for Xu Sheng to get used to the light in the bedroom. He bumped into many obstacles along the way, and then he fell into bed. As the time turned around 12 o'clock, he heard Shao Zhan leaning in his ear and said again: "Birthday. hapiness."
Xu Sheng's half-dry hair was pressed to the side of his face, slightly cool, but indescribably hot.
Both of them reacted, but Shao Zhan suddenly let go of him, Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, Shao Zhan reached out and turned on the lamp on the desk.
"Snapped."
The vision suddenly brightened, and Xu Sheng was not quite used to it, so he half-squinted his eyes: "Fuck, do you still have this hobby?"
…
Xu Sheng's voice was already hoarse, and after hesitating for two seconds, he said with no bottom line: "It's not impossible to turn on the light."
But Shao Zhan didn't answer. He raised his hand and slowly unfastened the first shirt button with one hand, followed by the second one. Xu Sheng's eyes didn't know whether to fall on his knuckled fingers, or the clavicle and abdominal muscles slowly revealed by the young man... or continue to the black belt around his waist.
Xu Sheng admired his boyfriend taking off his shirt with great interest.
It wasn't until Shao Zhan hung his shirt sideways on the back of the chair that he saw the altered tattoo on the boy's shoulder blade. The wings, after a redesign, added a scribbled letter "S".
Xu Sheng was stunned.
Shao Zhan didn't say much, only said four words: "birthday gift."
