I have a Secret
Chapter 74 They Have No Face (1)
The cemetery is very large, and rows of tombstones stay in their own places day after day, quietly waiting for relatives and friends to come to visit them.
The sky is bright and the sun is bright, and there is a gloomy and cold feeling in this place, which is pervasive.
Among the four, Lin Mao seemed less courageous than a sesame seed. He swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice, "Damn, it's really crowded here. Fortunately, I'm not alone."
As soon as he turned his head, Lin Mao looked at Xia Wei on the tombstone. His body shook violently, and he quickly squeezed from the far side between Huang Dan and Chen Shi, "When Xiao Wei was alive, I could I've been looking at her face for a whole day, why does my scalp feel numb just looking at it now?"
Shen Liang said, "Because she died."
Lin Mao shook his head, "I don't think it's just because of this. When I sleep these days, I always dream about her death. Are you the same as me?"
Shen Liang said that he never dreamed of it.
Lin Mao looked at Chen Shi, who frowned, "I rarely sleep and dream."
Seeing Lin Mao looking over, Huang Dan said, "I also dreamed about Xia Wei. In the dream, she was lying beside the bed, staring at the ceiling, with her mouth slightly open, as if she had moved, talking about something."
Lin Mao's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Tell me... what did you say?"
Huang Dan said he didn't know, and put on a look of serious memory, "Xia Wei didn't make a sound, I guess from the shape of her mouth..."
Lin Mao didn't do much this time, but Shen Liang asked first, "What is it?"
Huang Dan said, "Two words, goodbye."
Shen Liang frowned, almost impossible to check.
Lin Mao was startled at this moment, rubbed his arms and said, "Why, this is, aren't we here to attend the funeral? Why are we talking about this kind of thing in front of her tombstone?"
Huang Dan pursed his lips. In fact, like Chen Shi, he sleeps less and dreams less. He was just trying to test Lin Mao just now, but he didn't expect to attract Shen Liang's attention.
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Lin Mao couldn't bear it and said, "Xiao Wei died, I just realized that people will die as soon as they say they want to die, without warning, just like fate, when the time to die comes, there will be no delay for a second, that kind of What is life compared to, yes, the saying that life is thinner than paper is actually true, it’s too scary.”
He rubbed his face vigorously, "No, I'm going to the City God's Temple to pay respects to the City God, please bless and bless me, and buy a jade belt by the way, so that I can turn evil into good luck, and pass the college entrance examination next year with one book and two books .”
Shen Liang glanced at him contemptuously, "You can't even afford food, and you still want to buy jade? I think you might as well sell your kidney first."
Lin Mao glared at him fiercely, then turned his head when it was over, "Shu Ran, lend me some money."
Huang Dan said, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
He still has about [-] living expenses left, so he will go to the relatives of the original owner in the evening.
Chen Shi put one hand in his pocket, "There are a lot of fake jade in Chenghuang Temple. Things cost a few dollars and tens of dollars, and sell for hundreds of thousands. I don't know if I'm cheated. It's safer to go to the temple to have a look, and ask the host to open it." With light, jade has spirituality and can ward off evil spirits and disasters."
Lin Mao rolled his eyes, "Come on, that's for the rich, I'd better go to the Temple of the City God to try my luck."
He remembered something, "Chen Shi, are you wearing jade around your neck?"
Chen Shi squinted, "There is one, inherited from the ancestors."
Lin Mao looked envious, "It's so good, your ancestors left you such a treasure, and my ancestors didn't even leave me a fart. People are more angry than others."
Shen Liang said lightly, "It's better to ask for yourself than to ask for others."
Lin Mao, "Who can say this, but at the critical moment, you have to rely on others. If you tell someone like you, you won't understand."
When the topic changed, he laughed and said, "Chen Shi, can you take out the jade and open our eyes?"
Shen Liang's peripheral vision turned.
Huang Dan looked over, and there was a red rope around Chen Shi's neck, sticking to his neck, most of which were buried in the collar, faintly like a fairy.
The corners of Chen Shi's lips twitched lazily, "The jade on my body was given by a master many years ago. I'm afraid that if I take the jade out, it will scare the other people here."
Lin Mao didn't understand, so, "Others? Who? Aren't we the only ones here?"
Chen Shi slowed down his tone, and said quietly, "Not only that, there are many people here, and they are all looking at us."
Lin Mao, "..."
"Chen Shi, what nonsense are you talking about, I almost peed my pants in fright."
A laugh came from Chen Shi's throat, and when he saw a gaze sweeping towards him, he turned his head slightly, raised his slightly sharp eyebrows, and looked inquiringly.
Huang Dan withdrew his gaze.
The curvature of Chen Shi's lips remained unchanged. He straightened the collar of his shirt and looked at the girl on the tombstone. "It's a pity that I didn't see Xiaowei's cousin, and I don't know what's going on at her family."
Lin Mao smacked his lips, "The time of the rich is very precious. Once the praise ceremony is over, everyone will go to their own business."
Huang Dan said, "This place is pretty good."
"..."
Some people even said that the cemetery is good.
A few people chatted and chatted again. It really didn't look like they came to the funeral, maybe they were too young, or maybe the people underground left too suddenly and it was unreal.
Lin Mao snorted, "It's bad, didn't we agree to go to the flower shop to buy white chrysanthemums?"
Huang Dan was stunned and forgot.
Chen Shi and Shen Liang also had that expression, but no one remembered it.
The four people came to the funeral with empty hands, and they seemed to be very careless, but they didn't stop much on the way here, and it's normal to miss it.
He was in a hurry when he went out, and he encountered a car accident on the road, and the car drove halfway around City H, not to mention the extra [-] or [-] fares, but he still missed it.
Lin Mao comforted himself, "Xiao Wei won't blame us."
Huang Dan and the others remained silent.
The photo on the tombstone is a recent photo of Xia Wei. Judging from the collar, it looks like she is wearing a skirt. Her long black hair is loose on both sides, and one side of her hair is tied behind her ear, revealing the big earring on her earlobe. There is a smile on Zhang Qingchun's beautiful melon seeds, as if to say, "You guys came to see me."
Huang Dan didn't look at Xia Wei's face, but at the collar around her collarbone. Why does it feel like the one hanging in her closet?
With Lin Mao and Shen Liang present, when Huang Dan was inconvenient to ask Chen, he thought about finding an opportunity to ask.
Lin Mao snorted, and pointed to the photo on the tombstone, "I'm not delusional, am I? Can anyone of you help me see if there is a red spot on the left side of Xiao Wei's face?"
Huang Dan said, "There is one."
Lin Mao's complexion changed, "Didn't we surf the Internet all night? When she came out of the Internet cafe that morning, her face didn't have red spots yet. I saw it when I went to the studio to sketch at night. The next day she Something went wrong."
"It was almost eleven o'clock when we left the studio that night, and we separated when we got back to the residence. The police said that she died between two o'clock in the morning and 02:30 in the morning. She didn't want to live anymore, and she still had thoughts. Take a photo and send it to my uncle?"
Huang Dan was thoughtful.
Chen Shi looked at Lin Mao strangely, "Why did you even notice the little red dot and remember it so clearly?"
Lin Mao coughed, "Xiao Wei is completely in accordance with my ideal shape. I still remember that she was the last one to enter the classroom, wearing a white skirt, small leather shoes, long hair fluttering, and holding a long ear in her hand." Rabbit, Cupid's arrow hit me right away, if she hadn't told me repeatedly before that I wasn't the one she liked, and that I had to be a brother or get out, I would have held on to her life and death."
Chen Shi said oh.
It was the first time Huang Dan heard Lin Mao say these words. Xia Wei didn't mention a single word, and the original owner didn't have any relevant information in his memory.
Lin Mao scratched his face, "I'm still confused."
Shen Liang was very calm, "It's nothing to make a fuss about, she loves beauty so much, I don't know how many photos I have to take in a day."
Lin Mao said, "The problem is that she doesn't want to live anymore, and still wants to take pictures?"
Shen Liang's expression was calm, "I once read the autobiography of a foreign character. He killed himself. Before he killed himself, he recorded the whole process, detailed preparations, psychological changes, and even photographed it."
Lin Mao couldn't believe it, "No way?"
Shen Liang snorted, "I told you to read more, but if you don't listen, I think you will make yourself an idiot sooner or later."
Lin Mao, "..."
Once again, there was silence in front of the tombstone.
Huang Dan was sorting out his thoughts. So far, the position of the first suspect was still vacant, and he didn't think it was so appropriate to put anyone there.
There are dozens of people in the studio, the result is hard to say.
If it was done by a ghost, it would definitely involve some unknown past.
Huang Dan's head hurt a little, and somehow he remembered the story Zhou Jiaojiao made up, and his fingers moved nervously.
Probably because it was too quiet, Huang Dan was a little surprised, he looked up and found Lin Mao, Chen Shi, and Shen Liang were bowing to the tombstone, saying their final farewell.
After a pause, Huang Dan did the same.
After the last ceremony, Lin Mao licked his dry lips, "I said, brothers, should we go?"
Chen Shi withdrew his gaze from the tombstone, "Let's go."
Lin Mao is the smallest with the shortest legs, but he walked in the front, his T-shirt was blown up by the wind, he looks like that time when he fell in the studio and Huang Dan helped him up, He said to go back first, so he ran first regardless.
He is a selfish person, Huang Dan thought.
Shen Liang was a few steps behind Lin Mao, walking with a refined taste, the mask was worn for too long, and it melted into his bones.
Huang Dan looked back at the tombstone.
Chen Shi caught it, "What are you still looking at? Don't you want to? Or else you stay and stay with her for a while longer? Let's have lunch together or something."
Huang Dan ignored the banter in his words, but asked, "When did you and Xia Wei meet?"
Chen Shi walked slowly, "What?"
Huang Dan said, "Just ask."
The broken hair on Chen Shi's forehead was disheveled by the wind, his eyebrows were hidden in the shadows, and he seemed to be smiling, "I'm sorry, I don't answer random questions."
Yellow list, "..."
He quickened his pace to catch up, and asked repeatedly, "I'm not asking casually this time, I'm serious."
Chen Shi took his hand out of his pocket, and put it behind his head leisurely, "Tell me first, why you ask this question, are you concerned about Xia Wei's past, or are you just asking about me?"
Huang Dan said, "I'm not interested in your affairs, can you tell me now?"
Chen Shi twitched one corner of his mouth, and he laughed, "I don't answer questions raised by dishonest children."
Huang Dan changed his words, "I lied, I am very concerned about your affairs."
Chen Shi threw a disdainful look of "Xiao Yang, I have seen through you a long time ago, you are playing tricks in front of me, you are still a little tender".
Huang Dan was speechless.
Chen Shi answered that question, "She was in the second year of high school, and I met in the studio when I was in the third year of high school."
Huang Dan said, "It's the school belle."
Chen Shi shrugged, "There are a lot of boys chasing her from grade one to grade three, from this school to the school next door. One of the topics in our dormitory after the lights are turned off every day is how the girls in class two are doing."
"Anyway, I don't see any difference between her and other girls. It's not like she has two eyes, one nose, and one mouth. I don't think so."
Huang Dan said, "Your aesthetics are not good."
Chen Shi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I actually think you're a little cute."
Huang Dan lifted his eyelids, looking at the tall boy in front of him, "I'm not cute."
Chen Shi said, "Well, now I know."
Yellow list, "..."
He thought to himself, is he cute?Not cute, not at all.
Chen Shi in front suddenly stopped in his tracks, Huang Dan was caught off guard, and stopped when he was a few inches away from him, "Why don't you leave?"
Chen Shi turned his head, "Don't walk behind me."
Huang Dan didn't understand, "Huh?"
Chen Shi didn't say anything, he grabbed the young man and pulled him in front of him, "Let's go."
Huang Dan's eyes twitched slightly, "Does Shen Liang like Xia Wei?"
Chen Shi's eyes subconsciously swept over the young man's back, and when he heard the sound, his nerve endings trembled, "I didn't see it."
Huang Dan asked tentatively, "Don't you think the relationship between the three of them is weird?"
Chen Shi's eyelids drooped, and he yawned lazily, "I don't think so, I just think you're weird."
Huang Dan twisted his neck back, "Is there any?"
Chen Shi stretched out a hand and pushed on the boy's back, "What are you looking at, hurry up and leave!"
When Huang Dan heard the movement in front of him, he turned his gaze away.
Lin Mao put his arm on Shen Liang's shoulder, and was swung away the next moment. He went to put it on again, and was swung away again.
If it were another person, he would be angry if he was treated like this again and again, but Lin Mao didn't. Although he was cursing, he still put his face in front of Shen Liang with a playful smile, saying something that only they could hear.
Chen Shi also looked over, "Are you curious, Lin Mao and Shen Liang obviously have two personalities, how could they become friends?"
The yellow sheet is curious.
Chen Shi's eyes were half-closed, and he elongated his voice, which seemed to be telling a story, "I thought about it before, but then I found out..."
Huang Dan waited, and before he got an answer, he asked, "What did you find?"
Chen Shi clicked his tongue, "You are listening, I thought your three souls and six spirits had all flown to the sky to play."
Yellow list, "..."
Chen Shidou's boy continued, "They are the same kind of people."
Huang Dan was taken aback, right?With this information, he went to look at Lin Mao and Shen Liang who were waving their arms and legs in front of him again, and sorted out the clips about them twice in his mind.
Lin Mao's voice came, and he kept waving his arms, "Shu Ran, Chen Shi, you two are shitting behind, dawdling!"
Chen Shi still walked at the same pace, "Why are you walking so fast? I'm not in a hurry to reincarnate."
Huang Dan's face turned dark when he saw Lin Mao.
Hearing this from other places, it sounded like a joke. When he arrived at the cemetery, it made people feel uncomfortable, especially for Lin Mao who was so timid and afraid of ghosts.
Lin Mao was afraid of Chen Shi, so he scolded something, and took it as the past.
The Town God's Temple is not far from the Agricultural University. Huang Dan and the others took the bus. There were many people on the bus.
Huang Dan stood between Lin Mao and Chen Shi, Shen Liang was on Lin Mao's side, and the four of them stood side by side.
A few more people came up at the next stop, and the car was even more crowded.
I was already afraid of riding in a car, there were still people around, and the air was very turbid. Chen Shi's expression became more and more terrifying. A girl was sitting on the chair. Seeing him staggering, with no blood on his face, she stood up voluntarily, " Come and sit down."
Chen Shi changed after he got in the car, he didn't try to be brave, he thanked him and sat on the chair.
Huang Dan knew he couldn't look at it, but he still couldn't help it. He lowered the corners of his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the boy's arched back and tensed body. He turned his head and his breathing became short of breath.
The girl who gave up her seat just now turned her head and just saw a face covered with tears. She was stunned, wouldn't she?Of these two handsome guys, one is sick and the other just broke up in love?
Huang Dan was crying silently, Lin Mao and Shen Liang didn't know it at first, but they realized what was going on when everyone in the row of chairs in front of them looked over.
Lin Mao was dumbfounded, "Shu Shuran, why are you crying?"
Huang Dan cried and said, "Motion sickness."
Lin Mao, "..."
Huang Dan kept crying and crying, the aunt in front of him couldn't stand it anymore, got up and gave him the seat, "Student, come and sit."
"No need."
Huang Dan refused, it was useless for him to sit, he would still cry, his heart seemed to be grabbed by a hand, and he was tearing vigorously, invisible blood spurted out, Chen Shi's pain could not be alleviated, sooner or later he would be alive It hurts.
When they arrived at Di'er, Chen Shi and Huang Dan were both squatting beside the grass, one was panting and the other was sobbing.
Lin Mao and Shen Liang looked at each other several times, but were speechless.
Chen Shi slowed down, and he wiped off the cold sweat on his face, "Why are we like brothers and sisters?"
Huang Dan was wiping away tears, and smiled when he heard the words.
Chen Shi was stunned, and said for a while, "You're really interesting. I've been here for a few days, and I haven't seen you smile once. You're crying so hard right now, yet you can still laugh."
This time I changed the yellow sheet and was stunned.
He heard Chen Shi say, "But when you laugh, it's really..."
This is where the words stop.
The middle of the sentence was annoying, but Chen Shi didn't have that awareness, and Huang Dan was not a person who liked to take the initiative, let alone clingy, so he didn't pester him to ask more questions.
Town God's Temple is also a wholesale market, very lively and crowded, if Shen Liang doesn't come, the atmosphere will be better, but Lin Mao seems to like to call him wherever he goes.
There was a fortune teller on the side of the road, so Lin Mao went over to him.
The old man looked at his face, counted with his fingers, and said, "Young man, do you have more dreams recently?"
Lin Mao was stunned when he heard it. Could it be that he was lucky and met an expert right after he came here?He nodded and said yes, "How do you know?"
The old man narrowed his eyes enigmatically, "It's the same person I dreamed about."
Lin Mao really believed this time, this is an expert, an absolute expert, and he doesn’t need money. He changed from squatting to squatting, and talked nonsense with the old man for a long time, but he didn’t expect to count and count, fifty would be nothing up.
It seems to have been calculated, but in fact the fart has not been calculated.
Lin Mao left and turned back, and saw the old man telling a girl's fortune. The girl said that she was sleeping and dreaming, and wanted to ask what was going on.
Next, the old man used the same routine, and stole more money from the girl's pocket than Lin Mao.
But fifty for the poor is not the same concept as one hundred for the rich.
Lin Mao was so angry that if Shen Liang hadn't pulled him, he would have rushed over to kick the old man, nagging about how much food he would buy for fifty.
Shen Liang said sarcastic words, "The old man didn't steal or rob, you handed over the money yourself."
Lin Mao put his foot on the stone lion, his heart twitched in pain, he hugged his leg and howled, "He lied to me, you liar!"
Huang Dan stood by Chen Shi and did not participate.
Chen Shi said, "I'm going to buy something to drink, do you want it?"
Huang Dan also went and asked for a cup of jasmine tea, which was paid by Chen Shi, saying that he bought the water last time.
So clear, Huang Dan frowned, "A glass of jasmine is two yuan and fifty, water is one yuan, then I will give you one yuan and a half."
The green tea in Chen Shi's mouth sprayed out, "What are you doing? This counts too?"
Huang Dan said, "You did the math with me first."
Chen Shi remembered what he said just now, he couldn't laugh or cry, "You really..."
He didn't finish his sentence again.
Lin Mao wanted to buy jeans, and he looked at them one by one. He was not very good at haggling the price, so he asked Shen Liang to help him pay it back.
Shen Liang is thin-skinned and has strong self-esteem. When buying things, he always finds the price and then leaves. He will not argue with the boss in the store.
"Go and buy drawing paper, and take a look here by yourself."
Shen Liang left after speaking.
Lin Mao scolded him from behind for his disrespect, and turned his head to stare at Huang Dan and Chen Shi.
The last pair of jeans sold for 20 yuan was thanks to Chen Shi.
There are several painting utensils in the Chenghuang Temple, and everyone in the studio will come here to buy, and the more people there are, the more discounts will be given.
Huang Dan and the others found Shen Liang in one of the stores.
Shen Liang was looking at the paintbrush, it was quite expensive, he hesitated for a while before making up his mind to buy it.
Lin Mao gritted his teeth and said angrily, "If my fifty hadn't been cheated, I would have bought such a good pen."
Shen Liang said, "Forget it, you will only buy two more clothes."
Lin Mao's thoughts were pierced on the spot, his face turned green, "How can I have a friend like you."
Shen Liang hehe.
Huang Dan bought two erasers, [-] pieces of drawing paper, and a dozen pencils. The money in his pocket was taken from the relatives of the original owner before going out. It was [-] in total, food and clothing, rent and painting tools. The sum of things like this cannot exceed this number, otherwise it will be over.
Chen Shi leaned aside, holding an album of paintings from home and abroad to read, "It doesn't look like he's quite rich."
Huang Dan said, "I have no money."
Chen Shi put the paintings on the collection and threw them back to the original place, "If you don't have money, you buy so many at once? It won't increase in value if you save them up."
Huang Dan said, "It costs two yuan to take the bus to come here."
Chen Shi's face twitched, "So, you are still planning carefully."
Huang Dan pursed his lips, "The money is not enough, I need to think more about it."
"Even if you want to break your head, you won't change the money. If you have the kung fu, you should think about how to improve your painting skills. It is better to strive for single-entry exams, and there will be more choices. After you pass the exam, your family So you won’t feel that the money spent on you was wasted.”
Chen Shi went outside to smoke.
Huang Dan lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, then put back half of the things in the bag.
That afternoon, Chen Shi went back to school.
He walked away alone, without saying anything, just put one hand in his pocket, raised the other and waved it, his back was neat and neat, as if he had nothing to miss.
What should Huang Dan do? Knowing that Chen Shi will come again.
One night, Lin Mao had a stomachache. He wanted to go to the toilet and asked Huang Dan to accompany him.
Huang Dan was too sleepy, "There is a spittoon under the bed."
Lin Mao said, "I can't pull out the spittoon by squatting down, Shu Ran, you can go with me, we will go back as soon as we go."
Huang Dan had no choice but to put on his clothes and go out with a yawn.
At this moment, the door next door opened suddenly. Lin Mao was startled and hid behind Huang Shandan.
Huang Dan twitched his mouth, at this moment the backside is the scariest thing.
Qi Fang had slippers on his feet, disheveled hair, and plaid pajamas, "Are you going to the bathroom too?"
Huang Dan nodded.
So the three of them walked together.
In the middle of the night, there wasn't even a mouse in the alley, and it was too quiet.
If you are alone, you will definitely feel the sound of footsteps behind you. After walking a few steps, you will look back. You will be afraid when you see something, and you will be even more afraid if you cannot see something. You can scare yourself to death by yourself.
Lin Mao had nothing to say, so he asked Qi Fang, "Are you really?"
Qi Fang stroked his beard and showed his white teeth, "I will always be eighteen."
Lin Mao rolled his eyes at the night sky, "Is university interesting?"
Qi Fang said, "It's not interesting."
Lin Mao guessed that Agricultural University was boring, and he might be able to change schools. Anyway, he didn't like it here, "You often play the guitar in the house, and we thought you were from the Conservatory of Music."
Qi Fang said, "It's just a hobby."
The three of them were chatting, but they didn't think the alley was difficult to walk, so they came out after making several turns. Before they got close, they could smell the body fragrance of the toilet itself.
The light inside is broken, just like the women's toilet next door, it's just a long strip, standing on it to pee, and the queen squatting.
If it's too late, pick up where there is space and solve it there.
The yellow sheet came out first, and they all came out behind him. Both of them had a smell on their bodies. There was no other way but to wait for the night breeze to blow the smell away.
Qi Fang looked up at the sky, "The moon is really round."
Huang Dan, "Yes."
Qi Fang cleared his throat, "I'm really good at fortune-telling, do you want to do it?"
Huang Dan said, "It doesn't count."
Qi Fang said mysteriously, "I know why you don't count, because you have no life to count."
Huang Dan didn't speak.
Qi Fang grinned, "I was just joking, isn't it funny?"
Huang Dan still didn't speak.
The smile on Qi Fang's face stopped, and he said awkwardly, "Sorry, I thought you didn't mind."
Huang Dan said, "Nobody doesn't mind."
Qi Fang scratched his hair, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, squatted on the side of the yellow dan, and smoked without saying a word.
Huang Dan smelled the smoke and thought of Chen Shi.
Lin Mao came out of the toilet without putting on his trousers, and he lifted his trousers up, "Damn it, it's pitch black inside, I was almost scared to death."
"What happened to you two?"
Qi Fang pinched out the cigarette, "I made classmate Zhang unhappy."
Lin Mao laughed, telling the truth or not, pinching Huang Dan's face with his hands.
Huang Dan dodged, "Your hands stink."
Lin Mao heard that his nose was about to fall off because of the smell, and there was no faucet to wash his hands here, so he had to endure it.
On the way back, Lin Mao talked to Qi Fang, but Huang Dan remained silent.
After that, Huang Dan and Lin Mao went to the studio to paint every day. They were not in the room during the day, and only came back to cook at noon. They never met Qi Fang again. The guitar sound was often heard at night, just like before, obviously a rough guy On the face, there was a smell of weakness.
Time passed quickly, I was painting in the morning, noon and evening, and it was a day before I knew it. The junior students in the studio didn't have any sense of urgency. Hehe, I am waiting for today to end and tomorrow to come.
In the third year of high school, it was troublesome. I started a lot of copying and practice, and the time period to test my mental endurance was these few months.
It's almost the end of the month, which means that the monthly exam is coming. Before that, Shen Liang's total score was ranked first. I don't know if there will be a change this time.
In the eyes of other people in the studio, Shen Liang is very good at painting, easy to talk, and very serious. Moreover, he has a young face, gentle and fair, and girls will like him very much.
When Zhou Jiaojiao talked about this exam, when Shen Liang might not be able to keep her No.1, several girls quarreled with her.
"Impossible. Zhang Shuran has improved, but the time is too short and sudden. There is no time to figure it out. Who knows if he won't be able to draw during the exam?"
"That is, Shen Liang is not the same as Zhang Shuran. He has always painted very well, and the foundation is there. There is no comparison between the two."
"That's right, and I found out that Zhang Shuran either doesn't come to the studio these days, or he can't finish painting, and he doesn't focus on it. Most likely he will be beaten back to his original form."
"Who said that Shu Ran's painting is getting better and better, and I think Shen Liang will not be able to draw well in the exam."
As soon as Zhou Jiaojiao said those words, she was besieged by several people. She was gradually defeated, and moved a stool to look for Huang Dan unhappy, "I'm so mad."
Huang Dan was pouring paint into the box, "It's nothing to be angry about."
Zhou Jiaojiao snorted, "Why not, it's too much, really, my dad is not here today, so he finally stopped following me. I haven't been very happy yet, and my good mood is gone. What are they doing? , isn’t Shen Liang’s girlfriend, what about it?”
Lin Mao was elusive, "You are not Shu Ran's girlfriend either."
Zhou Jiaojiao blushed, "I want you to take care of it!"
She secretly glanced at the young man beside her, and was relieved when she saw that the other party did not show any disgust, "Shu Ran, don't listen to their nonsense, you will definitely perform exceptionally well in this exam."
Huang Dan put grass green into the toolbox and replaced it with lake blue, "Shen Liang's painting is quite good."
Zhou Jiaojiao said, "He draws by feeling."
Huang Dan said in a firm tone, "You don't like Shen Liang."
Zhou Jiaojiao curled her lips, "Who would like someone who is duplicity, jealous, and puts on airs."
She shook her head, "I was wrong, there are still people who like it."
A girl from No. [-] Middle School was talking to Shen Liang, and the two of them were so close that their arms touched each other.
Huang Dan found that Shen Liang glanced at him, and that glance was filled with contempt, he was not considered a threat, and he felt that he was not even considered an opponent.
Probably in Shen Liang's heart, his only opponent is Chen Shi.
When Chen Shi is not around, no one can keep up with him. He will walk in the front and be the first to reach the finish line.
There was sketching in the evening, and only senior high school students came, not all of them, except for Huang Dan, Lin Mao, Shen Liang, Zhou Jiaojiao, there were only four other people who had to take turns to be models according to the list printed by the teacher.
Ken, who is not in the studio tonight, can't be counted in it, and Lin Mao is counted down.
Shen Liang frowned when he saw him twitching, "Lin Mao, I really don't understand what you're doing."
Lin Mao countered, "Why don't you go?"
Shen Liang said lightly, "You are in front of me, you haven't reached me yet."
Lin Mao's breath stuck in his throat.
Shen Liang looked at him, "You also saw that there were no problems in the studio during this period, which means that person dare not do that again."
Lin Mao's eyeballs rolled, and he thought about it, the two teachers had a meeting, and they spoke very well, the bastard who caused destruction will not come out to make trouble again.
Seeing that other people were waiting with their drawing boards, Lin Mao sat down on a chair.
Zhou Jiaojiao measured Lin Mao's eyebrows and drew two oval shapes on the paper with a pencil, "Lin Mao, can you open your eyes, I can't see the whites and eyeballs of your eyes."
Lin Mao opened his eyes, "Did you see it this time?"
Zhou Jiaojiao laughed out loud, "Don't open your eyes, it's too ugly, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night."
Lin Mao's saliva flew around, "Draw if you want to draw, don't force yourself."
Huang Dan is drawing Lin Mao's facial features. His eyes are small and thin, which is difficult to draw, but also easy to draw. The features are more obvious and easy to grasp at a glance.
More than an hour later, Teacher Liu came to the studio, "Why are you the only ones? Where are the others?"
Zhou Jiaojiao blew on the rubber crumbs on the paper, "It's either sleeping, or going to the Internet cafe to play."
Teacher Liu walked over and looked down at her painting, "Lin Mao has a single eyelid, but you have made double eyelids."
Zhou Jiaojiao said that she knew, "I think Lin Mao's single eyelid is too ugly, and it would look much better if he drew an extra line."
Teacher Liu said, "You are drawing from life."
Zhou Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and found an eraser to erase the two lines above the left and right eyes.
As usual, Mr. Liu began to comment on the paintings on the ground. He changed Zhou Jiaojiao's painting. He didn't move much, only moved the area of the eyes and eyebrows. The passerby in the painting suddenly became Lin Mao.
The so-called expressive eyebrows refer to a person's charm, and whose charm is painted on it, that is who it is.
Zhou Jiaojiao sighed, "Teacher is amazing."
Teacher Liu smiled and told her not to flatter her, "Be serious, there are two or three months until the single-entry exam, don't waste time."
These words are not only for Zhou Jiaojiao, but also for other people.
After the exam, everyone is happy.
The remaining paintings by Huang Dan and Shen Liang have not been seen, and everyone is waiting, hoping to hear the distinction between who is up and who is down from the teacher.
Mr. Liu saw their thoughts, and only said, "These two pictures have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are not the same."
Shen Liang's face darkened in an instant, and it disappeared in a flash.
Zhou Jiaojiao said, "How can there be no distinction between top and bottom? I think Shu Ran's paintings are more like Lin Mao. How about letting Lin Mao speak for himself?"
Lin Mao looked at those paintings with distaste, not only dislike, but also a little intrusive, which is different from looking in a mirror.
The sketches of human heads are not exactly the same as the person themselves, the bad thing is this, the person concerned will feel that he is looking at himself, and it seems to be looking at a stranger, which is weird.
Shen Liang smiled and said, "I also think that Shu Ran's paintings are more like Lin Mao."
Several other people said that his paintings are more similar.
Huang Dan is sharpening pencils, put them away after sharpening, and don't need to sharpen tomorrow, he doesn't like doing this job very much.
"Shen Liang thought that Huang Dan had been hit, and the smile on his face became wider, "Whether it looks like it or not, let Lin Mao speak for himself. "
Lin Mao cut out, "There's nothing to say, I'm much more handsome than what you drew."
Teacher Liu rarely joked, "Almost."
Lin Mao, "..."
Zhou Jiaojiao murmured something in Huang Dan's ear, as if to comfort him, lest he would think wildly before the exam.
Huang Dan said, "It's all right."
Shen Liang came over, "Shu Ran, you have made great progress, beyond my imagination."
Lin Mao hooked his neck, "Yes, yes, I think so too, Shu Ran, don't forget about the brothers when you develop in the future."
Zhou Jiaojiao said, "Shu Ran doesn't belong to the same school as you guys. After finishing the single-recruitment exam, I'll go back to make up cultural lessons."
The implication is, who will remember who when the time comes.
Lin Mao said with a smile, "Student Jiaojiao, Shu Ran and you don't seem to be from the same school."
The sky is bright and the sun is bright, and there is a gloomy and cold feeling in this place, which is pervasive.
Among the four, Lin Mao seemed less courageous than a sesame seed. He swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice, "Damn, it's really crowded here. Fortunately, I'm not alone."
As soon as he turned his head, Lin Mao looked at Xia Wei on the tombstone. His body shook violently, and he quickly squeezed from the far side between Huang Dan and Chen Shi, "When Xiao Wei was alive, I could I've been looking at her face for a whole day, why does my scalp feel numb just looking at it now?"
Shen Liang said, "Because she died."
Lin Mao shook his head, "I don't think it's just because of this. When I sleep these days, I always dream about her death. Are you the same as me?"
Shen Liang said that he never dreamed of it.
Lin Mao looked at Chen Shi, who frowned, "I rarely sleep and dream."
Seeing Lin Mao looking over, Huang Dan said, "I also dreamed about Xia Wei. In the dream, she was lying beside the bed, staring at the ceiling, with her mouth slightly open, as if she had moved, talking about something."
Lin Mao's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Tell me... what did you say?"
Huang Dan said he didn't know, and put on a look of serious memory, "Xia Wei didn't make a sound, I guess from the shape of her mouth..."
Lin Mao didn't do much this time, but Shen Liang asked first, "What is it?"
Huang Dan said, "Two words, goodbye."
Shen Liang frowned, almost impossible to check.
Lin Mao was startled at this moment, rubbed his arms and said, "Why, this is, aren't we here to attend the funeral? Why are we talking about this kind of thing in front of her tombstone?"
Huang Dan pursed his lips. In fact, like Chen Shi, he sleeps less and dreams less. He was just trying to test Lin Mao just now, but he didn't expect to attract Shen Liang's attention.
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Lin Mao couldn't bear it and said, "Xiao Wei died, I just realized that people will die as soon as they say they want to die, without warning, just like fate, when the time to die comes, there will be no delay for a second, that kind of What is life compared to, yes, the saying that life is thinner than paper is actually true, it’s too scary.”
He rubbed his face vigorously, "No, I'm going to the City God's Temple to pay respects to the City God, please bless and bless me, and buy a jade belt by the way, so that I can turn evil into good luck, and pass the college entrance examination next year with one book and two books .”
Shen Liang glanced at him contemptuously, "You can't even afford food, and you still want to buy jade? I think you might as well sell your kidney first."
Lin Mao glared at him fiercely, then turned his head when it was over, "Shu Ran, lend me some money."
Huang Dan said, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
He still has about [-] living expenses left, so he will go to the relatives of the original owner in the evening.
Chen Shi put one hand in his pocket, "There are a lot of fake jade in Chenghuang Temple. Things cost a few dollars and tens of dollars, and sell for hundreds of thousands. I don't know if I'm cheated. It's safer to go to the temple to have a look, and ask the host to open it." With light, jade has spirituality and can ward off evil spirits and disasters."
Lin Mao rolled his eyes, "Come on, that's for the rich, I'd better go to the Temple of the City God to try my luck."
He remembered something, "Chen Shi, are you wearing jade around your neck?"
Chen Shi squinted, "There is one, inherited from the ancestors."
Lin Mao looked envious, "It's so good, your ancestors left you such a treasure, and my ancestors didn't even leave me a fart. People are more angry than others."
Shen Liang said lightly, "It's better to ask for yourself than to ask for others."
Lin Mao, "Who can say this, but at the critical moment, you have to rely on others. If you tell someone like you, you won't understand."
When the topic changed, he laughed and said, "Chen Shi, can you take out the jade and open our eyes?"
Shen Liang's peripheral vision turned.
Huang Dan looked over, and there was a red rope around Chen Shi's neck, sticking to his neck, most of which were buried in the collar, faintly like a fairy.
The corners of Chen Shi's lips twitched lazily, "The jade on my body was given by a master many years ago. I'm afraid that if I take the jade out, it will scare the other people here."
Lin Mao didn't understand, so, "Others? Who? Aren't we the only ones here?"
Chen Shi slowed down his tone, and said quietly, "Not only that, there are many people here, and they are all looking at us."
Lin Mao, "..."
"Chen Shi, what nonsense are you talking about, I almost peed my pants in fright."
A laugh came from Chen Shi's throat, and when he saw a gaze sweeping towards him, he turned his head slightly, raised his slightly sharp eyebrows, and looked inquiringly.
Huang Dan withdrew his gaze.
The curvature of Chen Shi's lips remained unchanged. He straightened the collar of his shirt and looked at the girl on the tombstone. "It's a pity that I didn't see Xiaowei's cousin, and I don't know what's going on at her family."
Lin Mao smacked his lips, "The time of the rich is very precious. Once the praise ceremony is over, everyone will go to their own business."
Huang Dan said, "This place is pretty good."
"..."
Some people even said that the cemetery is good.
A few people chatted and chatted again. It really didn't look like they came to the funeral, maybe they were too young, or maybe the people underground left too suddenly and it was unreal.
Lin Mao snorted, "It's bad, didn't we agree to go to the flower shop to buy white chrysanthemums?"
Huang Dan was stunned and forgot.
Chen Shi and Shen Liang also had that expression, but no one remembered it.
The four people came to the funeral with empty hands, and they seemed to be very careless, but they didn't stop much on the way here, and it's normal to miss it.
He was in a hurry when he went out, and he encountered a car accident on the road, and the car drove halfway around City H, not to mention the extra [-] or [-] fares, but he still missed it.
Lin Mao comforted himself, "Xiao Wei won't blame us."
Huang Dan and the others remained silent.
The photo on the tombstone is a recent photo of Xia Wei. Judging from the collar, it looks like she is wearing a skirt. Her long black hair is loose on both sides, and one side of her hair is tied behind her ear, revealing the big earring on her earlobe. There is a smile on Zhang Qingchun's beautiful melon seeds, as if to say, "You guys came to see me."
Huang Dan didn't look at Xia Wei's face, but at the collar around her collarbone. Why does it feel like the one hanging in her closet?
With Lin Mao and Shen Liang present, when Huang Dan was inconvenient to ask Chen, he thought about finding an opportunity to ask.
Lin Mao snorted, and pointed to the photo on the tombstone, "I'm not delusional, am I? Can anyone of you help me see if there is a red spot on the left side of Xiao Wei's face?"
Huang Dan said, "There is one."
Lin Mao's complexion changed, "Didn't we surf the Internet all night? When she came out of the Internet cafe that morning, her face didn't have red spots yet. I saw it when I went to the studio to sketch at night. The next day she Something went wrong."
"It was almost eleven o'clock when we left the studio that night, and we separated when we got back to the residence. The police said that she died between two o'clock in the morning and 02:30 in the morning. She didn't want to live anymore, and she still had thoughts. Take a photo and send it to my uncle?"
Huang Dan was thoughtful.
Chen Shi looked at Lin Mao strangely, "Why did you even notice the little red dot and remember it so clearly?"
Lin Mao coughed, "Xiao Wei is completely in accordance with my ideal shape. I still remember that she was the last one to enter the classroom, wearing a white skirt, small leather shoes, long hair fluttering, and holding a long ear in her hand." Rabbit, Cupid's arrow hit me right away, if she hadn't told me repeatedly before that I wasn't the one she liked, and that I had to be a brother or get out, I would have held on to her life and death."
Chen Shi said oh.
It was the first time Huang Dan heard Lin Mao say these words. Xia Wei didn't mention a single word, and the original owner didn't have any relevant information in his memory.
Lin Mao scratched his face, "I'm still confused."
Shen Liang was very calm, "It's nothing to make a fuss about, she loves beauty so much, I don't know how many photos I have to take in a day."
Lin Mao said, "The problem is that she doesn't want to live anymore, and still wants to take pictures?"
Shen Liang's expression was calm, "I once read the autobiography of a foreign character. He killed himself. Before he killed himself, he recorded the whole process, detailed preparations, psychological changes, and even photographed it."
Lin Mao couldn't believe it, "No way?"
Shen Liang snorted, "I told you to read more, but if you don't listen, I think you will make yourself an idiot sooner or later."
Lin Mao, "..."
Once again, there was silence in front of the tombstone.
Huang Dan was sorting out his thoughts. So far, the position of the first suspect was still vacant, and he didn't think it was so appropriate to put anyone there.
There are dozens of people in the studio, the result is hard to say.
If it was done by a ghost, it would definitely involve some unknown past.
Huang Dan's head hurt a little, and somehow he remembered the story Zhou Jiaojiao made up, and his fingers moved nervously.
Probably because it was too quiet, Huang Dan was a little surprised, he looked up and found Lin Mao, Chen Shi, and Shen Liang were bowing to the tombstone, saying their final farewell.
After a pause, Huang Dan did the same.
After the last ceremony, Lin Mao licked his dry lips, "I said, brothers, should we go?"
Chen Shi withdrew his gaze from the tombstone, "Let's go."
Lin Mao is the smallest with the shortest legs, but he walked in the front, his T-shirt was blown up by the wind, he looks like that time when he fell in the studio and Huang Dan helped him up, He said to go back first, so he ran first regardless.
He is a selfish person, Huang Dan thought.
Shen Liang was a few steps behind Lin Mao, walking with a refined taste, the mask was worn for too long, and it melted into his bones.
Huang Dan looked back at the tombstone.
Chen Shi caught it, "What are you still looking at? Don't you want to? Or else you stay and stay with her for a while longer? Let's have lunch together or something."
Huang Dan ignored the banter in his words, but asked, "When did you and Xia Wei meet?"
Chen Shi walked slowly, "What?"
Huang Dan said, "Just ask."
The broken hair on Chen Shi's forehead was disheveled by the wind, his eyebrows were hidden in the shadows, and he seemed to be smiling, "I'm sorry, I don't answer random questions."
Yellow list, "..."
He quickened his pace to catch up, and asked repeatedly, "I'm not asking casually this time, I'm serious."
Chen Shi took his hand out of his pocket, and put it behind his head leisurely, "Tell me first, why you ask this question, are you concerned about Xia Wei's past, or are you just asking about me?"
Huang Dan said, "I'm not interested in your affairs, can you tell me now?"
Chen Shi twitched one corner of his mouth, and he laughed, "I don't answer questions raised by dishonest children."
Huang Dan changed his words, "I lied, I am very concerned about your affairs."
Chen Shi threw a disdainful look of "Xiao Yang, I have seen through you a long time ago, you are playing tricks in front of me, you are still a little tender".
Huang Dan was speechless.
Chen Shi answered that question, "She was in the second year of high school, and I met in the studio when I was in the third year of high school."
Huang Dan said, "It's the school belle."
Chen Shi shrugged, "There are a lot of boys chasing her from grade one to grade three, from this school to the school next door. One of the topics in our dormitory after the lights are turned off every day is how the girls in class two are doing."
"Anyway, I don't see any difference between her and other girls. It's not like she has two eyes, one nose, and one mouth. I don't think so."
Huang Dan said, "Your aesthetics are not good."
Chen Shi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I actually think you're a little cute."
Huang Dan lifted his eyelids, looking at the tall boy in front of him, "I'm not cute."
Chen Shi said, "Well, now I know."
Yellow list, "..."
He thought to himself, is he cute?Not cute, not at all.
Chen Shi in front suddenly stopped in his tracks, Huang Dan was caught off guard, and stopped when he was a few inches away from him, "Why don't you leave?"
Chen Shi turned his head, "Don't walk behind me."
Huang Dan didn't understand, "Huh?"
Chen Shi didn't say anything, he grabbed the young man and pulled him in front of him, "Let's go."
Huang Dan's eyes twitched slightly, "Does Shen Liang like Xia Wei?"
Chen Shi's eyes subconsciously swept over the young man's back, and when he heard the sound, his nerve endings trembled, "I didn't see it."
Huang Dan asked tentatively, "Don't you think the relationship between the three of them is weird?"
Chen Shi's eyelids drooped, and he yawned lazily, "I don't think so, I just think you're weird."
Huang Dan twisted his neck back, "Is there any?"
Chen Shi stretched out a hand and pushed on the boy's back, "What are you looking at, hurry up and leave!"
When Huang Dan heard the movement in front of him, he turned his gaze away.
Lin Mao put his arm on Shen Liang's shoulder, and was swung away the next moment. He went to put it on again, and was swung away again.
If it were another person, he would be angry if he was treated like this again and again, but Lin Mao didn't. Although he was cursing, he still put his face in front of Shen Liang with a playful smile, saying something that only they could hear.
Chen Shi also looked over, "Are you curious, Lin Mao and Shen Liang obviously have two personalities, how could they become friends?"
The yellow sheet is curious.
Chen Shi's eyes were half-closed, and he elongated his voice, which seemed to be telling a story, "I thought about it before, but then I found out..."
Huang Dan waited, and before he got an answer, he asked, "What did you find?"
Chen Shi clicked his tongue, "You are listening, I thought your three souls and six spirits had all flown to the sky to play."
Yellow list, "..."
Chen Shidou's boy continued, "They are the same kind of people."
Huang Dan was taken aback, right?With this information, he went to look at Lin Mao and Shen Liang who were waving their arms and legs in front of him again, and sorted out the clips about them twice in his mind.
Lin Mao's voice came, and he kept waving his arms, "Shu Ran, Chen Shi, you two are shitting behind, dawdling!"
Chen Shi still walked at the same pace, "Why are you walking so fast? I'm not in a hurry to reincarnate."
Huang Dan's face turned dark when he saw Lin Mao.
Hearing this from other places, it sounded like a joke. When he arrived at the cemetery, it made people feel uncomfortable, especially for Lin Mao who was so timid and afraid of ghosts.
Lin Mao was afraid of Chen Shi, so he scolded something, and took it as the past.
The Town God's Temple is not far from the Agricultural University. Huang Dan and the others took the bus. There were many people on the bus.
Huang Dan stood between Lin Mao and Chen Shi, Shen Liang was on Lin Mao's side, and the four of them stood side by side.
A few more people came up at the next stop, and the car was even more crowded.
I was already afraid of riding in a car, there were still people around, and the air was very turbid. Chen Shi's expression became more and more terrifying. A girl was sitting on the chair. Seeing him staggering, with no blood on his face, she stood up voluntarily, " Come and sit down."
Chen Shi changed after he got in the car, he didn't try to be brave, he thanked him and sat on the chair.
Huang Dan knew he couldn't look at it, but he still couldn't help it. He lowered the corners of his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the boy's arched back and tensed body. He turned his head and his breathing became short of breath.
The girl who gave up her seat just now turned her head and just saw a face covered with tears. She was stunned, wouldn't she?Of these two handsome guys, one is sick and the other just broke up in love?
Huang Dan was crying silently, Lin Mao and Shen Liang didn't know it at first, but they realized what was going on when everyone in the row of chairs in front of them looked over.
Lin Mao was dumbfounded, "Shu Shuran, why are you crying?"
Huang Dan cried and said, "Motion sickness."
Lin Mao, "..."
Huang Dan kept crying and crying, the aunt in front of him couldn't stand it anymore, got up and gave him the seat, "Student, come and sit."
"No need."
Huang Dan refused, it was useless for him to sit, he would still cry, his heart seemed to be grabbed by a hand, and he was tearing vigorously, invisible blood spurted out, Chen Shi's pain could not be alleviated, sooner or later he would be alive It hurts.
When they arrived at Di'er, Chen Shi and Huang Dan were both squatting beside the grass, one was panting and the other was sobbing.
Lin Mao and Shen Liang looked at each other several times, but were speechless.
Chen Shi slowed down, and he wiped off the cold sweat on his face, "Why are we like brothers and sisters?"
Huang Dan was wiping away tears, and smiled when he heard the words.
Chen Shi was stunned, and said for a while, "You're really interesting. I've been here for a few days, and I haven't seen you smile once. You're crying so hard right now, yet you can still laugh."
This time I changed the yellow sheet and was stunned.
He heard Chen Shi say, "But when you laugh, it's really..."
This is where the words stop.
The middle of the sentence was annoying, but Chen Shi didn't have that awareness, and Huang Dan was not a person who liked to take the initiative, let alone clingy, so he didn't pester him to ask more questions.
Town God's Temple is also a wholesale market, very lively and crowded, if Shen Liang doesn't come, the atmosphere will be better, but Lin Mao seems to like to call him wherever he goes.
There was a fortune teller on the side of the road, so Lin Mao went over to him.
The old man looked at his face, counted with his fingers, and said, "Young man, do you have more dreams recently?"
Lin Mao was stunned when he heard it. Could it be that he was lucky and met an expert right after he came here?He nodded and said yes, "How do you know?"
The old man narrowed his eyes enigmatically, "It's the same person I dreamed about."
Lin Mao really believed this time, this is an expert, an absolute expert, and he doesn’t need money. He changed from squatting to squatting, and talked nonsense with the old man for a long time, but he didn’t expect to count and count, fifty would be nothing up.
It seems to have been calculated, but in fact the fart has not been calculated.
Lin Mao left and turned back, and saw the old man telling a girl's fortune. The girl said that she was sleeping and dreaming, and wanted to ask what was going on.
Next, the old man used the same routine, and stole more money from the girl's pocket than Lin Mao.
But fifty for the poor is not the same concept as one hundred for the rich.
Lin Mao was so angry that if Shen Liang hadn't pulled him, he would have rushed over to kick the old man, nagging about how much food he would buy for fifty.
Shen Liang said sarcastic words, "The old man didn't steal or rob, you handed over the money yourself."
Lin Mao put his foot on the stone lion, his heart twitched in pain, he hugged his leg and howled, "He lied to me, you liar!"
Huang Dan stood by Chen Shi and did not participate.
Chen Shi said, "I'm going to buy something to drink, do you want it?"
Huang Dan also went and asked for a cup of jasmine tea, which was paid by Chen Shi, saying that he bought the water last time.
So clear, Huang Dan frowned, "A glass of jasmine is two yuan and fifty, water is one yuan, then I will give you one yuan and a half."
The green tea in Chen Shi's mouth sprayed out, "What are you doing? This counts too?"
Huang Dan said, "You did the math with me first."
Chen Shi remembered what he said just now, he couldn't laugh or cry, "You really..."
He didn't finish his sentence again.
Lin Mao wanted to buy jeans, and he looked at them one by one. He was not very good at haggling the price, so he asked Shen Liang to help him pay it back.
Shen Liang is thin-skinned and has strong self-esteem. When buying things, he always finds the price and then leaves. He will not argue with the boss in the store.
"Go and buy drawing paper, and take a look here by yourself."
Shen Liang left after speaking.
Lin Mao scolded him from behind for his disrespect, and turned his head to stare at Huang Dan and Chen Shi.
The last pair of jeans sold for 20 yuan was thanks to Chen Shi.
There are several painting utensils in the Chenghuang Temple, and everyone in the studio will come here to buy, and the more people there are, the more discounts will be given.
Huang Dan and the others found Shen Liang in one of the stores.
Shen Liang was looking at the paintbrush, it was quite expensive, he hesitated for a while before making up his mind to buy it.
Lin Mao gritted his teeth and said angrily, "If my fifty hadn't been cheated, I would have bought such a good pen."
Shen Liang said, "Forget it, you will only buy two more clothes."
Lin Mao's thoughts were pierced on the spot, his face turned green, "How can I have a friend like you."
Shen Liang hehe.
Huang Dan bought two erasers, [-] pieces of drawing paper, and a dozen pencils. The money in his pocket was taken from the relatives of the original owner before going out. It was [-] in total, food and clothing, rent and painting tools. The sum of things like this cannot exceed this number, otherwise it will be over.
Chen Shi leaned aside, holding an album of paintings from home and abroad to read, "It doesn't look like he's quite rich."
Huang Dan said, "I have no money."
Chen Shi put the paintings on the collection and threw them back to the original place, "If you don't have money, you buy so many at once? It won't increase in value if you save them up."
Huang Dan said, "It costs two yuan to take the bus to come here."
Chen Shi's face twitched, "So, you are still planning carefully."
Huang Dan pursed his lips, "The money is not enough, I need to think more about it."
"Even if you want to break your head, you won't change the money. If you have the kung fu, you should think about how to improve your painting skills. It is better to strive for single-entry exams, and there will be more choices. After you pass the exam, your family So you won’t feel that the money spent on you was wasted.”
Chen Shi went outside to smoke.
Huang Dan lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, then put back half of the things in the bag.
That afternoon, Chen Shi went back to school.
He walked away alone, without saying anything, just put one hand in his pocket, raised the other and waved it, his back was neat and neat, as if he had nothing to miss.
What should Huang Dan do? Knowing that Chen Shi will come again.
One night, Lin Mao had a stomachache. He wanted to go to the toilet and asked Huang Dan to accompany him.
Huang Dan was too sleepy, "There is a spittoon under the bed."
Lin Mao said, "I can't pull out the spittoon by squatting down, Shu Ran, you can go with me, we will go back as soon as we go."
Huang Dan had no choice but to put on his clothes and go out with a yawn.
At this moment, the door next door opened suddenly. Lin Mao was startled and hid behind Huang Shandan.
Huang Dan twitched his mouth, at this moment the backside is the scariest thing.
Qi Fang had slippers on his feet, disheveled hair, and plaid pajamas, "Are you going to the bathroom too?"
Huang Dan nodded.
So the three of them walked together.
In the middle of the night, there wasn't even a mouse in the alley, and it was too quiet.
If you are alone, you will definitely feel the sound of footsteps behind you. After walking a few steps, you will look back. You will be afraid when you see something, and you will be even more afraid if you cannot see something. You can scare yourself to death by yourself.
Lin Mao had nothing to say, so he asked Qi Fang, "Are you really?"
Qi Fang stroked his beard and showed his white teeth, "I will always be eighteen."
Lin Mao rolled his eyes at the night sky, "Is university interesting?"
Qi Fang said, "It's not interesting."
Lin Mao guessed that Agricultural University was boring, and he might be able to change schools. Anyway, he didn't like it here, "You often play the guitar in the house, and we thought you were from the Conservatory of Music."
Qi Fang said, "It's just a hobby."
The three of them were chatting, but they didn't think the alley was difficult to walk, so they came out after making several turns. Before they got close, they could smell the body fragrance of the toilet itself.
The light inside is broken, just like the women's toilet next door, it's just a long strip, standing on it to pee, and the queen squatting.
If it's too late, pick up where there is space and solve it there.
The yellow sheet came out first, and they all came out behind him. Both of them had a smell on their bodies. There was no other way but to wait for the night breeze to blow the smell away.
Qi Fang looked up at the sky, "The moon is really round."
Huang Dan, "Yes."
Qi Fang cleared his throat, "I'm really good at fortune-telling, do you want to do it?"
Huang Dan said, "It doesn't count."
Qi Fang said mysteriously, "I know why you don't count, because you have no life to count."
Huang Dan didn't speak.
Qi Fang grinned, "I was just joking, isn't it funny?"
Huang Dan still didn't speak.
The smile on Qi Fang's face stopped, and he said awkwardly, "Sorry, I thought you didn't mind."
Huang Dan said, "Nobody doesn't mind."
Qi Fang scratched his hair, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, squatted on the side of the yellow dan, and smoked without saying a word.
Huang Dan smelled the smoke and thought of Chen Shi.
Lin Mao came out of the toilet without putting on his trousers, and he lifted his trousers up, "Damn it, it's pitch black inside, I was almost scared to death."
"What happened to you two?"
Qi Fang pinched out the cigarette, "I made classmate Zhang unhappy."
Lin Mao laughed, telling the truth or not, pinching Huang Dan's face with his hands.
Huang Dan dodged, "Your hands stink."
Lin Mao heard that his nose was about to fall off because of the smell, and there was no faucet to wash his hands here, so he had to endure it.
On the way back, Lin Mao talked to Qi Fang, but Huang Dan remained silent.
After that, Huang Dan and Lin Mao went to the studio to paint every day. They were not in the room during the day, and only came back to cook at noon. They never met Qi Fang again. The guitar sound was often heard at night, just like before, obviously a rough guy On the face, there was a smell of weakness.
Time passed quickly, I was painting in the morning, noon and evening, and it was a day before I knew it. The junior students in the studio didn't have any sense of urgency. Hehe, I am waiting for today to end and tomorrow to come.
In the third year of high school, it was troublesome. I started a lot of copying and practice, and the time period to test my mental endurance was these few months.
It's almost the end of the month, which means that the monthly exam is coming. Before that, Shen Liang's total score was ranked first. I don't know if there will be a change this time.
In the eyes of other people in the studio, Shen Liang is very good at painting, easy to talk, and very serious. Moreover, he has a young face, gentle and fair, and girls will like him very much.
When Zhou Jiaojiao talked about this exam, when Shen Liang might not be able to keep her No.1, several girls quarreled with her.
"Impossible. Zhang Shuran has improved, but the time is too short and sudden. There is no time to figure it out. Who knows if he won't be able to draw during the exam?"
"That is, Shen Liang is not the same as Zhang Shuran. He has always painted very well, and the foundation is there. There is no comparison between the two."
"That's right, and I found out that Zhang Shuran either doesn't come to the studio these days, or he can't finish painting, and he doesn't focus on it. Most likely he will be beaten back to his original form."
"Who said that Shu Ran's painting is getting better and better, and I think Shen Liang will not be able to draw well in the exam."
As soon as Zhou Jiaojiao said those words, she was besieged by several people. She was gradually defeated, and moved a stool to look for Huang Dan unhappy, "I'm so mad."
Huang Dan was pouring paint into the box, "It's nothing to be angry about."
Zhou Jiaojiao snorted, "Why not, it's too much, really, my dad is not here today, so he finally stopped following me. I haven't been very happy yet, and my good mood is gone. What are they doing? , isn’t Shen Liang’s girlfriend, what about it?”
Lin Mao was elusive, "You are not Shu Ran's girlfriend either."
Zhou Jiaojiao blushed, "I want you to take care of it!"
She secretly glanced at the young man beside her, and was relieved when she saw that the other party did not show any disgust, "Shu Ran, don't listen to their nonsense, you will definitely perform exceptionally well in this exam."
Huang Dan put grass green into the toolbox and replaced it with lake blue, "Shen Liang's painting is quite good."
Zhou Jiaojiao said, "He draws by feeling."
Huang Dan said in a firm tone, "You don't like Shen Liang."
Zhou Jiaojiao curled her lips, "Who would like someone who is duplicity, jealous, and puts on airs."
She shook her head, "I was wrong, there are still people who like it."
A girl from No. [-] Middle School was talking to Shen Liang, and the two of them were so close that their arms touched each other.
Huang Dan found that Shen Liang glanced at him, and that glance was filled with contempt, he was not considered a threat, and he felt that he was not even considered an opponent.
Probably in Shen Liang's heart, his only opponent is Chen Shi.
When Chen Shi is not around, no one can keep up with him. He will walk in the front and be the first to reach the finish line.
There was sketching in the evening, and only senior high school students came, not all of them, except for Huang Dan, Lin Mao, Shen Liang, Zhou Jiaojiao, there were only four other people who had to take turns to be models according to the list printed by the teacher.
Ken, who is not in the studio tonight, can't be counted in it, and Lin Mao is counted down.
Shen Liang frowned when he saw him twitching, "Lin Mao, I really don't understand what you're doing."
Lin Mao countered, "Why don't you go?"
Shen Liang said lightly, "You are in front of me, you haven't reached me yet."
Lin Mao's breath stuck in his throat.
Shen Liang looked at him, "You also saw that there were no problems in the studio during this period, which means that person dare not do that again."
Lin Mao's eyeballs rolled, and he thought about it, the two teachers had a meeting, and they spoke very well, the bastard who caused destruction will not come out to make trouble again.
Seeing that other people were waiting with their drawing boards, Lin Mao sat down on a chair.
Zhou Jiaojiao measured Lin Mao's eyebrows and drew two oval shapes on the paper with a pencil, "Lin Mao, can you open your eyes, I can't see the whites and eyeballs of your eyes."
Lin Mao opened his eyes, "Did you see it this time?"
Zhou Jiaojiao laughed out loud, "Don't open your eyes, it's too ugly, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night."
Lin Mao's saliva flew around, "Draw if you want to draw, don't force yourself."
Huang Dan is drawing Lin Mao's facial features. His eyes are small and thin, which is difficult to draw, but also easy to draw. The features are more obvious and easy to grasp at a glance.
More than an hour later, Teacher Liu came to the studio, "Why are you the only ones? Where are the others?"
Zhou Jiaojiao blew on the rubber crumbs on the paper, "It's either sleeping, or going to the Internet cafe to play."
Teacher Liu walked over and looked down at her painting, "Lin Mao has a single eyelid, but you have made double eyelids."
Zhou Jiaojiao said that she knew, "I think Lin Mao's single eyelid is too ugly, and it would look much better if he drew an extra line."
Teacher Liu said, "You are drawing from life."
Zhou Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and found an eraser to erase the two lines above the left and right eyes.
As usual, Mr. Liu began to comment on the paintings on the ground. He changed Zhou Jiaojiao's painting. He didn't move much, only moved the area of the eyes and eyebrows. The passerby in the painting suddenly became Lin Mao.
The so-called expressive eyebrows refer to a person's charm, and whose charm is painted on it, that is who it is.
Zhou Jiaojiao sighed, "Teacher is amazing."
Teacher Liu smiled and told her not to flatter her, "Be serious, there are two or three months until the single-entry exam, don't waste time."
These words are not only for Zhou Jiaojiao, but also for other people.
After the exam, everyone is happy.
The remaining paintings by Huang Dan and Shen Liang have not been seen, and everyone is waiting, hoping to hear the distinction between who is up and who is down from the teacher.
Mr. Liu saw their thoughts, and only said, "These two pictures have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are not the same."
Shen Liang's face darkened in an instant, and it disappeared in a flash.
Zhou Jiaojiao said, "How can there be no distinction between top and bottom? I think Shu Ran's paintings are more like Lin Mao. How about letting Lin Mao speak for himself?"
Lin Mao looked at those paintings with distaste, not only dislike, but also a little intrusive, which is different from looking in a mirror.
The sketches of human heads are not exactly the same as the person themselves, the bad thing is this, the person concerned will feel that he is looking at himself, and it seems to be looking at a stranger, which is weird.
Shen Liang smiled and said, "I also think that Shu Ran's paintings are more like Lin Mao."
Several other people said that his paintings are more similar.
Huang Dan is sharpening pencils, put them away after sharpening, and don't need to sharpen tomorrow, he doesn't like doing this job very much.
"Shen Liang thought that Huang Dan had been hit, and the smile on his face became wider, "Whether it looks like it or not, let Lin Mao speak for himself. "
Lin Mao cut out, "There's nothing to say, I'm much more handsome than what you drew."
Teacher Liu rarely joked, "Almost."
Lin Mao, "..."
Zhou Jiaojiao murmured something in Huang Dan's ear, as if to comfort him, lest he would think wildly before the exam.
Huang Dan said, "It's all right."
Shen Liang came over, "Shu Ran, you have made great progress, beyond my imagination."
Lin Mao hooked his neck, "Yes, yes, I think so too, Shu Ran, don't forget about the brothers when you develop in the future."
Zhou Jiaojiao said, "Shu Ran doesn't belong to the same school as you guys. After finishing the single-recruitment exam, I'll go back to make up cultural lessons."
The implication is, who will remember who when the time comes.
Lin Mao said with a smile, "Student Jiaojiao, Shu Ran and you don't seem to be from the same school."
