In the studio in the afternoon, sunlight came in from the window, elongating the shadow of the person in the middle of the room, and a few rays of light imprinted on his side face, as if covered with a shallow layer of white light.
The black pencil left smooth lines on the white paper. As the wrist brushed back and forth, the characters on the paper gradually became clear. The short hair is simple and energetic, the angular side face is sharp, the expression is serious and focused, and the man's The image stands vividly on the paper.
Luo Shaoheng backed away a little, nodded in satisfaction, and shouted to the worker next to him: "Hey, come here."
Hearing this, Shen Mucheng stopped what he was doing, got up and walked to his side, and was stunned when he saw the person in the painting.
"How is it?" Luo Shaoheng raised his head and asked him.
"... why are you painting me?" Shen Mucheng asked, the scene on the paper was the scene of him adjusting the easel just now, and the painting was very detailed.
"Does it look good?" Luo Shaoheng asked again.
It seemed to be praising himself if he said it was good-looking, but it was wrong to say it was not good-looking, Shen Mucheng simply didn't speak, and bent down to help him pick up the scattered drawing paper on the ground.
"For those who learn to paint, they want to show all the beautiful things with their own hands." Luo Shaoheng looked at Shen Mucheng's bent posture, and the lines drawn from his back were so perfect that he couldn't take his eyes off , the pen in his hand unconsciously sketched in the air, bringing out a rough line draft.
Shen Mucheng arranged the drawing papers and put them on the shelf beside him, and when he turned around, he saw Luo Shaoheng looking at him intently, his eyes seemed to be brightened, and he couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Luo Shaoheng smiled: "Take off your clothes."
Shen Mucheng was stunned, thinking he heard it wrong, and then heard him say: "Take off and sit over there, let's draw the one who took off his shirt first today."
"... I didn't agree." Shen Mucheng stood still.
"Huh?" Luo Shaoheng tilted his head and looked at him, with a smile on his lips, "Didn't you say that life is mine? You still care about the body."
"..."
"If you really don't like it, I won't force it."
"... I'll take it off."
"Well-"
The vibrating mobile phone next to him interrupted this dream, and those too beautiful pictures came to an abrupt end.
Luo Shaoheng reached for the phone and saw the name "Luo Yao" displayed on the screen. Luo Yao is his elder brother's son, although he broke off with his family because of Shen Mucheng's incident, he has always been in touch with Luo Yao.
"Hello." Luo Shaoheng answered the phone.
Luo Yao said that he had friends coming to play at the resort on weekends, and asked Luo Shaoheng to help arrange it.
Luo Shaoheng listened and said: "Two people, right? Okay, I'll arrange... Well, you have time to come and play with Xiaoguai. It's nothing, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Shaoheng put the phone back on the low table next to him.
The windows in the room were not closed, and the breeze brought in a little bit of chill. He pulled the blanket on his lap, continued to lie in the rocking chair with his eyes closed, and recreated the appearance of the person in the dream little by little, with the corners of his lips twitching A faint smile.
In the past six months, he has always dreamed of the past from time to time, especially after returning from the Ancient Rock Temple.
When Shen Mucheng woke up in the hospital, he found that he had lost his memory. The doctor said that his head was severely injured. Losing his memory was expected. He might remember it soon, or he might never remember it.
Shen Mucheng's family members couldn't be contacted, and the other party was still injured. Luo Shaoheng spent a lot of effort to rescue him, but he couldn't let it go. Finally, after thinking twice, he brought Shen Mucheng back to his place of residence.
But who would have thought that what was originally a decision that Yu Xin couldn't bear to make would eventually develop into a relationship of love.
Remembering how he confessed his love to Shen Mucheng back then, and Shen Mucheng's expression was blank, Luo Shaoheng couldn't help but chuckled softly.
He removed the hand covering his eyes, picked up the notebook next to him and started writing.
The habit of writing a diary was developed when he was in the nursing home. At that time, his heart was too depressed, and the negative emotions mixed in his heart almost squeezed his whole body into a ball, as if he was trapped in a secret place and could not find an exit. Can't speak to others either. After many times of fruitless communication, the attending doctor gave him a notebook and asked him to try to write out what he wanted to express in his heart. After a whole year, the only thing he wrote was "Shen Mucheng" "Three words.
After leaving the nursing home, this habit remained, but in recent years he kept his diary less frequently.
—I have been dreaming about him recently. He is still the same as before, but I am no longer the one he likes. I am really afraid that the next time we meet, will he recognize me.
Realizing what he had written, Luo Shaoheng stopped writing.
The next time we meet... I'm probably in my seventies or eighties. He smiled, and gently closed the book, his eyes just fell on the Buddhist bead bracelet on his wrist. After looking at it for a long time, he took off the beads, rested his fingers on the place where the words were engraved on the beads, and gently rubbed them, carefully touching the lines of the word "Shen", feeling peaceful in his heart.
On the weekend, Luo Shaoheng received a call from Luo Yao's friend who had already arrived at the resort.
Luo Shaoheng heard from Luo Yao that his friend came with his girlfriend and asked him to arrange a good room, but he didn't expect that there would be two boys coming, and he arranged a deluxe double suite for couples.
"Sorry, that brat Luo Yao misled me." Luo Shaoheng looked at the two young men in front of him with some embarrassment and apology, noticed that one of the ears was red, and said quickly, "I'll immediately change the front desk to a standard room."
"Actually, that's true." Gu Bai rubbed his nose, and reached out to hold Ji Yu's hand firmly beside him, "Although it's not a girlfriend, it's just a boyfriend."
"..." Luo Shaoheng was stunned, this situation is a bit of a turn!
Luo Shaoheng really didn't expect that Luo Yao's two friends were actually a couple, let alone that the two had already obtained the consent of their parents, which meant that their relationship was blessed and supported by their elders.
Looking at the calm faces of the two young men, he was astonished but couldn't help but think of his mother who had always been aloof and treated everyone with estrangement and politeness but was not close.
After her mother found out about him and Shen Mucheng, she broke her favorite blue and white porcelain cup, threw it at her feet, and scolded him for embarrassing the Luo family.
At the beginning, for the sake of Shen Mucheng, I chose to be desperate and leave the family that gave birth to me, but I never thought that I would end up in the end of being separated from heaven and man forever.
Luo Shaoheng's resort is located at the foot of Yunshan Mountain. There are two famous scenic spots in Yunshan Mountain. One is the natural hot spring; the other is the stone temple on the top of the mountain.
The next night, Luo Shaoheng took Gu Bai and the others to visit the stone temple on the top of the mountain. In addition to the stone temple on the top of the mountain, there are many residents at the foot of Yunshan Mountain on the trails outside to set up stalls to sell some special products and souvenirs for tourists to buy back as souvenirs. Most of the souvenirs are small objects, mostly made of wood, such as small wooden carved hang tags, small combs with engraved letters, small lotus flowers carved from fragrant wood, retro oiled paper umbrellas, etc. They are not expensive, but they are more exquisite in workmanship.
Luo Shaoheng took the two of them to the stone temple to pray for blessings, and then wandered on the path so that the two of them could pick up some small objects to take back as souvenirs.
"Would you like to buy one? Many small objects in Yunshan have the connotation of blessing. You can keep them for yourself or bring them to friends." Luo Shaoheng stopped in front of a small stall and pointed to the Some small ornaments asked the two of them.
"Let me take a look." Hearing what he said, Ji Yu began to choose in front of the stall. There are various styles of small wooden signs hanging on the shelf, and one or two words of blessing are engraved on them. In addition, there are also some small wooden carvings on display, which look very simple and cute.
"Boss, can you help me engrave other words?" Gu Bai asked the stall owner as he touched a small wooden sign next to him that was not engraved.
"Yes, but it will take two days to pick it up. It will take some time to paint the lettering. What words do you need to engrave?" the stall owner asked.
Hearing that it will take two days, Ji Yu hesitates, he and Gu Bai will go back tomorrow.
Luo Shaoheng saw his worries, and said, "I'll just help you get it. Luo Yao comes over often, so I'll ask him to get it for you."
Ji Yu thought it was feasible, thanked Luo Shaoheng, and then he and Gu Bai chose a small wooden sign of the corresponding style, and told the stall owner about the engraving requirements. After paying the money, he turned around and saw Luo Shaoheng staring at a small wooden sign in a daze, and asked, "Brother Shaoheng, don't you engrave it?"
"Huh?" Luo Shaoheng came back to his senses, put down the wooden sign and said with a smile, "I already have it, have you finished choosing? I'll take you to look elsewhere."
The three of them chatted while walking, and Luo Shaoheng introduced them to some special customs of Yunshan. When he saw the small stalls he was interested in, he would stop and choose. In disbelief, his lips moved silently.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yu asked when he saw him stop suddenly.
"Mucheng... Shenmucheng!" Luo Shaoheng yelled as if he had been awakened by him, and ran forward.
Gu Bai and Ji Yu didn't know why, after looking at each other, they followed in confusion.
At this moment, Luo Shaoheng felt that he was going crazy. This feeling was like walking dead for so many years and suddenly found that he was still alive. The person he had been thinking about suddenly appeared in front of him without warning. Will be wrong.
The trail is not wide, but there are many tourists. It is not pleasant to bump into the crowd, but he doesn't care at all. He just wants to go to the front and grab that person. But in this kind of situation, there was no way to squeeze through smoothly. Finally, at the end, he didn't see the person just now, and there were strange faces around him, except for his lover.
When Gu Bai and Ji Yu came to Luo Shaoheng's side, they found that his expression was a bit dazed. He was obviously a man of thirty years old, but at this moment he looked like a child who had lost his way.
"Brother Shaoheng, are you okay?" Ji Yu asked softly.
Luo Shaoheng slowly came back to his senses, restrained his emotions, and smiled at him: "It's okay, it's just that I just saw a friend I haven't seen for a long time, but I didn't see anyone when I caught up."
"Could it be a mistake?" Gu Bai asked.
"Maybe." Luo Shaoheng said.
But how could you admit your mistake? That is the person I have loved for twelve years, and the most portraits of people he has painted are his lovers, how can I admit my mistake.
At this time, on another trail going down the mountain, a man suddenly stopped in his footsteps and turned his head to look towards the top of the mountain.
"BOSS?" The person next to him asked in a low voice.
"Did you hear that?" The man frowned slightly, "Someone called my name?"
