Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts is the highest hall that all art students aspire to. It not only ranks first among the eight major art academies in Huaguo, but also enjoys a high reputation internationally.
Qiu Xian's teacher, surnamed Lin, is seventy-five years old this year. When he was young, he was sent abroad by a public servant, and worked hard for more than ten years at the Repin Academy of Fine Arts. After completing his studies, he returned to teach in China. Now he is the honorary president of the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts, and has a nickname called "Lin Taoli". No matter who sees him, he will always address him as Mr. Lin.
Qiu Xian said: "Mr. Lin stopped teaching undergraduates for a long time. I was the last graduate student he took, and now he only has two Ph.D.s. Yiheng, you must know that Mr. Lin can write a recommendation for you. Letter, what an honor this is."
Xiao Yiheng is really talented in painting. Qiu Xian cherishes his talents and does not want to let his talent go to waste. But Qiu Xian also knows that Xiao Yiheng's performance in cultural courses has always been ranked first in the grade, and he has won countless academic competition trophies. No matter which university he applies for, he can get a full scholarship.
Let a child with top grades give up what ordinary people think of as a "prosperous road", and turn to choose a thorny and tortuous path of art... If other people know about it, they will definitely think she is crazy.
"Actually, the focus of this matter is not just 'talent', but whether you like painting or not. Talent is important, but your heart is more important. If you prefer physics and mathematics to painting, then of course the teacher I support you to go to BGI; however, if you think painting is more important, then I sincerely hope that you can become my junior brother." Qiu Xian looked at Xiao Yiheng, who was silent, and spoke from the bottom of her heart.
"...Thank you, teacher." Xiao Yiheng nodded with a solemn and serious expression on his face, "I will consider this matter carefully."
"It doesn't matter, you can think about it as long as you want." Qiu Xian folded the recommendation letter and put it back in the envelope, "This winter vacation, Huamei will also hold a winter camp, as long as this letter of recommendation is there, the winter camp will be held. A spot is reserved for you. Even if you don’t sign up, just report with this letter of recommendation and you can join the camp with other students.”
…
In the living room, Xu Jun held the baby in his arms and patted the baby's back awkwardly, but no matter what, he could not let the baby burp smoothly.
As an alpha, she has enough energy to stay up late to work, and she can stay up for two or three consecutive days while rushing for construction drawings, and she is still in good spirits; but when she became a new mother, she was overwhelmed by a little guy who weighed a few pounds. , When the child cried in the middle of the night, she would get up to feed him and change diapers.
Xu Jun tossed around clumsily for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking another person in the room for help.
"Classmate Li Cheng, will you take care of the children?"
Li Cheng was sitting on the sofa idle and playing with his mobile phone. Hearing this, his hands shook and looked at Xu Jun in shock.
He pointed to his blond hair and asked incredulously: "Look at my appearance, I will scare children and cry when I go out, I almost put 'Bear Child Killer' on my forehead, why do you think I will bring children ?"
"… uh, because you're an omega?"
"... Then are you still a woman?"
The omega boy and the alpha woman looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
Li Cheng put away his phone, walked through the pillows and dolls all over the floor, and walked to the cradle, wanting to see where he could help. Xu Jun was sitting on the small sofa next to the cradle. She held the child in her arms and patted his back.
When Yuyou was born, Li Cheng was only eight years old. His parents were still alive at that time, so naturally he would not let an eight-year-old child take care of a little one. So in the eyes of eight-year-old Li Cheng, Youyou is a cute little doll, and his parents are responsible for eating, drinking, and laughing. He only needs to play with his sister.
But now Li Cheng is seventeen years old and is about to become an adult. In his eyes at this age, the chubby full moon baby is like a time bomb, fragile and scary.
Li Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Isn't there a lot of baby care centers now? I read in the news that babies born in artificial wombs will go to the baby care center to be raised until they are three months old and then go home. Go to the baby care center, don't worry."
While patting the baby's back, Xu Jun shook his head: "The baby was born naturally, and the childcare center will not accept it. And even if they accept it, Qiu Xian is reluctant to send it there. The golden house and the silver house are not as good as the hut she built her own nest. She picked out every plush toy in the house for her baby, and she knitted every blanket by herself."
Saying that, Xu Jun pointed to the swaddle wrapped around the baby: "Look at this corner of the cloth, does the color look old? This is one of my shirts. Qiu Xian took off a corner and sewed it on the swaddle, because She said that it would smell like me. In fact, undifferentiated young children can't smell pheromones at all, but Qiu Xian can smell it. Nesting is not only for the children, but also for the omegas themselves."
Li Cheng didn't understand, but not every omega would have nesting behavior, at least he hadn't appeared so far. According to the book, after the marking behavior occurs, the omega will be full of nostalgia for the alpha pheromone, and even actively collect the things used by the alpha to build a nest.
It was inexplicable. He was also tagged (cough), so he didn't think Xiao Yiheng's pheromone had any special attraction.
Just when Li Cheng was wandering, Xu Jun next to him finally put the baby to sleep, and she gently put the baby back into the cradle.
Seeing this scene, Li Cheng felt more and more that it was not easy to raise children. After he got married, he would never raise a baby! It's scary, raising a baby is much harder than raising a duck...
Just as they were watching the baby around the cradle, the door to the study was pushed open. Qiu Xian and Xiao Yiheng came out one after the other, their expressions were calm, and it seemed that their private conversation had ended.
Li Cheng suspected that he must have been killed by curiosity in his last life. He especially wanted to know what they were talking about, but he was reluctant to ask Xiao Yiheng directly, because it would appear that he cared about him very much.
It was noon in the blink of an eye.
Qiu Xian left the two boys at home for lunch. This time, Xu Jun and her cooked together. They were quick and easy to make five dishes and one soup in 40 minutes. Although they were all simple dishes, Li Cheng was particularly supportive. I ate without looking up, and praised the delicious food again and again, and added three bowls of rice alone.
Xiao Yiheng couldn't help reminding him: "Aren't you afraid of eating up your abdominal muscles?"
"It's okay, go back and swim for three kilometers, and the abdominal muscles will come back." Li Cheng finally put down his chopsticks and started drinking soup, "If I weighed the scales now, I would definitely be two kilograms heavier than in the morning!"
Qiu Xian couldn't help laughing: "You're exaggerating too much. Both of us are quite average in craftsmanship. This is just an ordinary meal."
"It's delicious just because it's a home-cooked meal!" Li Cheng said seriously, "I have seven years... No, I haven't eaten this kind of home-cooked meal in almost eight years!"
Xu Jun asked curiously, "Don't your parents usually cook?"
Qiu Xian hurriedly gave her a wink and kicked her several times under the table. The female alpha was kicked with question marks by her wife, she really didn't know what she said wrong.
Li Cheng saw the movements between them and joked: "Mr. Qiu, please stop kicking her. The table you kicked is shaking, and it must collapse in a while."
"..." Qiu Xianna said, "How can I have so much energy."
The school staff knew that Li Cheng was an orphan. Qiu Xian hadn't mentioned this to her lover before. She didn't expect Xu Jun to accidentally touch Li Cheng's wound.
"My parents left early, so you don't have to feel sorry for me. It's been so many years, and I've already accepted it." Li Cheng smiled, sounding quite relaxed, "and she didn't mean it, She doesn't know about it either. Don't worry, I'm not that vulnerable, and I-"
"Li Cheng, eat fish." Xiao Yiheng, who was sitting beside him, suddenly picked a piece of fish for him, and it was the tenderest and most complete piece of fish on the tail. All the fish bones were removed in advance, and what landed in Li Cheng's bowl was a whole piece of fish flesh. "Eat fish and swim fast."
Li Cheng was taken aback: "What kind of feudal superstition are you doing?"
"It's not feudal superstition, it's a good sign."
With such an interruption, the matter about Li Cheng's parents was carried over so unknowingly, Li Cheng concentrated on eating fish, Xiao Yiheng concentrated on picking fish for him, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly good for a while.
Xu Jun's eyes fell on the two children, and he could see something faintly.
In order to celebrate the birth of Qiu Xian's baby, Li Cheng suggested everyone to raise a glass and "take one". They didn't drink, they drank ice Coke just out of the fridge.
There were crystal water droplets hanging on the outer wall of the beverage can, and the ice made the scalp tingle with one bite. Li Cheng drank too much and choked, and accidentally got on the front of his T-shirt.
He was wearing a light-colored T-shirt today, and as soon as Coke was sprinkled on it, it immediately turned a large piece of black.
Xiao Yiheng took out a tissue and handed it to him: "How old are you? Can you get yourself a drink of Coke?"
Li Cheng hummed: "Don't you know that this year is your father's birthday? If you are filial, take off your clothes and put them on for me."
He originally wanted to deliberately take advantage of Xiao Yiheng's words, but he never thought that Xiao Yiheng would actually take off his T-shirt and change Li Cheng's clothes without saying a word.
Li Cheng was startled, subconsciously suppressed the hem of his clothes, and screamed: "Xiao Yiheng, don't be a hooligan, there are outsiders here! My own clothes are well dressed, why should I wear yours?"
Xiao Yiheng raised his eyebrows: "Don't you think your clothes are dirty?"
"I still think your clothes smell bad!"
Of course Xiao Yiheng's clothes didn't stink. Not only did they not stink, but if you sniffed them carefully, you could vaguely smell a faint scent of alpine cedar. The T-shirt on Li Cheng's body, in addition to the smell of cola, also smelled of baby milk.
Li Cheng was tall, standing at 1.83 meters. Qiu Xian took out the longest T-shirt in the family and wore it on him like a tight-fitting t-shirt. Li Cheng had no choice but to face bitterly and continue to wear this shirt resignedly. A dirty T-shirt.
"Let's do it." Xiao Yiheng thought for a while, "Aren't you going to go to my house to get your homework in a while? I'll find you a coat, you can put it over your clothes, so that no one will notice."
Because they had to go to Xiao's house to get the clothes, they didn't bother Qiu Xian's house any more.
Qiu Xian stayed at home to take care of the baby, and Xu Jun sent the two children out of the community.
Along the way, Li Cheng has been covering the trace of Coke on his chest with both hands, looking silly, always worried that others will look at him.
Xiao Yiheng was helpless: "I told you and I to change clothes."
Li Cheng whistled, out from his left ear and in from his right ear, pretending he didn't hear it.
Xu Jun, who had been silent for a long time as the set, suddenly said, "... Actually, are you two in love?"
Xiao Yiheng: "..."
Li Cheng: "??? No, no, don't talk nonsense."
Xu Jun: "I've seen it for a long time, you two are going out alone today, are you going on a date?"
Xiao Yiheng: "..."
Li Cheng: "??? Really not, really not, you really don't talk nonsense!!"
Xu Jun nodded: "Don't worry, I won't tell you Teacher Qiu about this. After all, you still have to avoid the teacher when it comes to puppy love."
She showed an elder-like smile, patted Xiao Yiheng on the shoulder, and Li Cheng on the shoulder, her eyes full of blessings and relief.
Li Cheng: "There is a sentence, I really think you have misunderstood something."
What is going on in this world, why does the Little Tigers think that he and Xiao Yiheng are deeply rooted in love, Coach Wu thinks that he and Xiao Yiheng are in love with each other, Huang Yelun thinks that he and Xiao Yiheng's husband sing along, and now even Xu Jun thinks that he and Xiao Yiheng are in love!
What the hell are they talking about! love! Love! already? !
…
The taxi stopped downstairs at Xiao's house, Xiao Yiheng went upstairs to pick up clothes and homework, Li Cheng could only wait in the lobby on the first floor.
The brilliant community where Xiao's family is located is a well-decorated high-end community. The lobby on the first floor is resplendently decorated, and there are sofas for rest. The traces of Coke on Li Cheng's body had been blown dry, and only a brown stain remained.
Li Cheng always felt that people coming and going in the hall were staring at his chest.
He asked, "Can't I go upstairs with you? Didn't you say your parents weren't home?"
He had a very bad impression of Xiao's mother, and always felt that she was looking at people with her nostrils. If she was at home, he would never want to step into Xiao's house again.
Xiao Yiheng didn't answer directly, just shook his head.
Fortunately, Xiao Yiheng moved quickly, Li Cheng only waited downstairs for three or four minutes, and Xiao Yiheng walked out of the elevator with the homework he wrote that year, and a neatly folded school uniform jacket.
"Why is it a school uniform again... I really doubt if there are any clothes in your wardrobe that ordinary high school boys would wear." Although Li Cheng complained, his body was extremely honest. He put Xiao Yiheng's school uniform jacket on On his body, he quickly pulled the zipper to the top, wrapping himself tightly.
The freshly washed school uniform jacket still had the clean fragrance of washing powder, and in addition, there was a faint smell of pheromones surrounding him.
When Li Cheng put on this coat, it was as if Xiao Yiheng was holding him in his arms.
Li Cheng suddenly felt a little hot, and he pulled down the zipper a little to get some air.
Xiao Yiheng didn't notice Li Cheng's discomfort, he handed the homework to Li Cheng: "This is the homework of "National Health Education Class", although it is stipulated to write 600 words, but I wrote 800 words at the time, which should be enough You refer to it."
As expected of a scholar, even the elective coursework has been completed so well, the handwriting on the manuscript paper is clean and clear, and the strokes are neat and beautiful. Li Cheng's word is an out-and-out "ant body", densely packed in small groups. Compared with Xiao Yiheng, it is really a sky and an underground.
Li Cheng secretly compared the words of the two in his heart, and the more he compared, the more frustrated he became.
Forget it, even if Xiao Yiheng is so good in other places, if he puts him in the swimming pool, he will still be unable to swim against him.
Li Cheng borrowed his homework and left happily. He has to hurry back to the dormitory to catch up on his homework. As for the 1,200-word essay, he has to hurry up and write it.
The school uniform jacket on his body hugged his body warmly, the smell of alpine cedar surrounded his nose, Li Cheng walked briskly, and for some reason, his mood became extraordinarily bright.
Xiao Yiheng stood at the door of the unit building, looking at Li Cheng's retreating back, as if the sun was also walking away with him. It was not until the boy's figure completely disappeared that Xiao Yiheng let out a slow sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the elevator.
The elevator stopped at the floor where Xiao's house was. The visual electronic doorbell on the gate of Xiao's house accurately recorded Xiao Yiheng's entry and exit time.
Now that technology is advanced, almost every household uses electronic doorbells, and every person who appears outside the house will be recorded by the camera. For other people's homes, this electronic doorbell is used to prevent thieves and theft, but for the Xiao family, it has another effect.
Xiao Yiheng returned home and put on slippers at the entrance.
A camera placed at the entrance suddenly made a mechanical buzzing sound and turned towards Xiao Yiheng.
After the camera made a "di" sound, the voice of Xiao's mother came out.
"Yiheng, why did you come home so late today?" The camera moving from side to side radiated red light, like mother Xiao's eyes, "I said earlier, you shouldn't be that teaching assistant. Can that teaching assistant give you extra points, or can he recommend you to college? Also, why did you suddenly go out after you just returned home, and what did you go out for?"
After the intensive problems came down, Xiao Yiheng's expression did not change. He pretended that the network was broken and he couldn't hear the sound at all. He changed his slippers and went back to his bedroom.
Fortunately, Xiao's mother has not been so mad, and has not installed a camera in his bedroom, which can give Xiao Yiheng a chance to breathe.
The young alpha threw himself into the bed, took out his mobile phone, and after some operations, opened a private bank account.
Every money in the account is the money he has saved after entrusting Mr. Qiu Xian to help him consign his works in the past three years.
Now, this amount of money has accumulated to a very considerable amount. If Li Cheng sees it, he will definitely shout.
And this account was bluntly named "FXXK U MONEY" by Xiao Yiheng.
Xiao Yiheng opened another account book, which filled up every expense that Xiao's parents paid for him one by one.
New Year's money, food, clothing, housing, transportation, cram school, medical expenses... Raising children costs a lot of money, and the Xiao family has always pursued elite education. In the past seventeen years, they have spent a lot of money on Xiao Yiheng, only In order to let Xiao Yiheng realize their unfinished dreams for them.
Every penny they spend on Xiao Yiheng will be returned to them by Xiao Yiheng.
After three years of accumulation, "FXXK U MONEY" is about to catch up with the total expenditure in the accounting book.
It's a little bit more, but it's enough.
In a little while, he was free.
The author has something to say:
The concept of "fxxk u money" comes from an interview with Lucy Liu.
The economic foundation is always the cornerstone of freedom. Only after saving enough money to settle down can we have the confidence to say to the boss: "fxxk u! I quit!" ("Fuck, I quit, I am gone").
I saw in the comments, everyone has been discussing how Xiao Yiheng and Li Cheng are together/after he chooses the artistic route, how to talk to his parents and how to make them accept it.
But Xiao Yiheng didn't plan to reverse his parents' views at all, he planned to run away directly hhhhhh.
