want to touch my muscles
Work related
, wryly smiling and wrinkling his eyebrows, it's all his own doing.
Xu Rongjing stayed at the art exhibition until the evening before leaving. His senior brother had improved a lot in painting recently. He deeply doubted whether this person found inspiration from the group of Yingying Yanyan around him.
After getting out of the elevator, Xu Rongjing didn't go to the parking lot to drive, but went to the gate to take a breath of fresh air.
He looked around, and suddenly found that it was not very far from the gym. He searched on his mobile phone, and it was indeed close, just two subway stops away.
After 10 minutes, Xu Rongjing looked at the TIME sign 50 meters ahead of him, and felt that he must be idle.He didn't drive, he took two subway stops to come here, but he was embarrassed to go in here, so he told Ren Lei that he would not come today at noon.
Xu Rongjing glanced left and right, turned right, and entered Lawson, who was diagonally opposite to TIME, bought a can of Coke and sat by the window, staring at the gym opposite in a daze.
Sitting so stupidly for half an hour at a time, he didn't even know that someone was staring at him at the door.
When Luo Yan came back from outside, he found that his regular cigarette was gone, so he wanted to buy chewing gum to chew, but when he entered Lawson, he saw that VIP with a lot of money sitting by the window.
After paying the money, he smoked a piece of gum and chewed for a while, and found that the VIP was still in a daze in that posture, and thought why he was staring at him, he was an idiot, threw the candy wrapper, turned around and left.
When he got to the traffic lights, he couldn't help but look back, the big white melon VIP was still in a daze, he suddenly felt funny, the light was green, he didn't cross the road, but he walked back, went outside Lawson, and stood by him Facing him, staring straight at him.
Xu Rongjing was still in a state of emptiness, and felt that a huge object was blocking his view, so he slowly regained his senses, only to be startled by the pair of dark eyes staring at him from outside the glass.
"Luo Yan?" He was surprised.
From the outside, Luo Yan saw that his mouth shape was calling him, and the surprise on his face made him even more amused.
Luo Yan walked in from the outside, Xu Rongjing's eyes followed him until he sat down beside him.
Luo Yan raised her eyebrows: "VIP, you're in a daze, do you drink Coke?"
Xu Rongjing: "What happened to Coke?"
Luo Yan opened his mouth, and mouthed to say—spermicide.
Xu Rongjing smiled: "There is no scientific basis for this, so it's not credible."
At the end, he added: "Even if it's true, it won't affect me much, anyway, I'm destined not to be able to carry on the family."
Luo Yan heard these words, and heard them very clearly.
Luo Yan didn't know why he got so stupid again, jokingly asked, "Are you the same?"
He wanted to take it back when he said it, but Xu Rongjing responded, "Yes."
The wind is light and the clouds are light.
Chapter ④
Luo Yan was shocked and wanted to laugh, he didn't expect the big white melon VIP to answer so frankly.
Luo Yan looked out of the window in the same posture as him: "I'll just ask casually."
"Well, I just wanted to trick you into asking," he turned to look at Luo Yan, and said with a smirk, "I said that on purpose."
Luo Yan tilted her head and met his gaze, "Huh?"
"I'm acting so obvious, you don't know what I mean?" Xu Rongjing's words were explicit and provocative.
Luo Yan grinned, they were all adults, how could he not understand what he meant, he just didn't expect Xu Rongjing to know his sexual orientation, and he didn't expect Xu Rongjing to be in the same category as him, "How old are you, maybe twenty , Young people, don’t be impulsive, you don’t know who I am.”
Xu Rongjing shrugged helplessly: "I'm 28, Tong Yan, you can't tell."
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, looked up and down at Xu Rongjing several times, "I really didn't see it..."
As for Xu Rongjing's delicate and innocent appearance, he would never have imagined that he was already 28.
Xu Rongjing: "If you don't understand it, just slowly understand it, and try to see what's wrong."
"I don't want to try." Luo Yan no longer giggled with him, but got serious.
Xu Rongjing took a sip of Coke, it was too sweet, he lost his breath...
Luo Yan's meaning was obvious just now, and he rejected him.
Luo Yan looked disillusioned: "We only met last night, today is the second time."
Xu Rongjing was silent.
Luo Yanxin said bluntly: "I don't believe in love at first sight, it all depends on appearance."
Xu Rongjing lowered his head slowly. To be honest, he dared to do that just now, and he had summoned up all his courage.
Luo Yan looked at him from the corner of his eye: "If I didn't look like this, would you have taken a fancy to me last night?"
"Actually, it's freshness. After a while, you won't have any feelings for me."
Xu Rongjing held the Coke in his hand, the can had already been crushed by him, he stood up and said with some anger: "Stop talking! I know!"
Lu Shu told him that he was very well protected. He had never suffered or suffered any grievances since he was a child, so as long as he was hit, the saplings in his greenhouse would be easily broken.
He walked around Luo Yan with his head down, threw the Coke into the trash can, opened the door and left.
Luo Yan watched him go towards the subway angrily from inside, gritted his teeth, what's the matter?Angry?
He hasn't said anything excessive yet, why is he so small-minded?
Luo Yan took another piece of gum out of his pocket and chewed it in his mouth. The more he chewed, the more unpleasant it became. When he was talking just now, he saw that the big white melon VIP's eyes were red. Didn't he say that he was crying?
Luo Yan twisted the package in his hand and bounced it into the trash can. He shouldn't have folded it back just now, he must be an idiot now.
Xu Rongjing went into the subway angrily, he failed to flirt, but was told a lot.
To be honest, he was very upset and felt very wronged.
What's wrong with love at first sight, love at first sight can also be beautiful.
He looked at Luo Yan with the eyes of an artist, and he believed in his own eyes that Luo Yan was definitely not bad, otherwise he wouldn't want to chase after him.
This time, he was beaten back without even chasing him.
If he wants to chase after him, he really can only think about it in the future. He can't hold back his face and confess his love so blatantly like today.
Xu Rongjing took off his glasses and leaned back on the subway chair, thinking about the muscle lines of Luo Yan sitting next to him just now, his heart beat twice again.
But let alone, now that he thinks about it again, he feels that Luo Yan's image in his heart has become a little taller.
"Xu Rongjing, you are superficial..." He scolded himself.
Xu Rongjing took the subway back to the parking lot of the art exhibition. He wanted to drive home, but he drove the car back to the studio unknowingly.
When I returned to the studio, it was the peak business hours in the evening, and there were many tourists who came to draw instant paintings on the first and second floors.
Seeing a handsome guy coming, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
When they reached the third floor, Lu Shu greeted him, and he could tell at a glance that Xu Rongjing was in a bad mood.
"What's the matter with you? Did Tiantian mess with you again today? It didn't rain."
Xu Rongjing put on an apron for himself: "God didn't mess with me, you did."
"Why did I mess with you?" Lu Shu said that he was innocent.
"Who asked you to recommend that gym to me."
"Aren't you quite satisfied in the morning? Why did you change your mind just after the afternoon?"
"Not satisfied, not satisfied at all."
Lu Shu finally understood, "Did you see Boss Luo today?"
Xu Rongjing didn't answer.
"Didn't you go to the art exhibition, why did you go to the gym again?"
"I didn't go to the gym." Xu Rongjing put on a headband and pulled all his hair up on his head, revealing a clean face with especially big eyes.
"You didn't go to the gym, why did you meet Boss Luo?"
Xu Rongjing pursed his lips: "I went to Lawson outside the gym."
"I went to watch someone's house with you, why didn't I find you so perverted before."
"You're a pervert!" Xu Rongjing walked back to his cubicle, "It was a coincidence that I met him, and I just sat in a daze at Lawson."
"and then?"
Xu Rongjing took the brush to adjust the color, "Then the environment is favorable and the atmosphere is good, so I will confess myself."
Lu Shu hesitated for a second: "Damn!"
"Teacher Xu, you can do it! Just confess to someone like that!"
"if not?"
Lu Shu leaned against the door, "It seems that you were rejected."
Xu Rongjing let out a "hum".
"It's okay, there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, why bother to fall in love with this grass alone, you will meet better ones."
Xu Rongjing didn't say a word.
Lu Shu observed his words and said, "What? You don't want to give up yet."
Xu Rongjing put down the brush, changed a piece of drawing paper, took the wood again
The lead begins to roughly outline the frame.
Lu Shu lifted his stool: "Don't say anything, you and I don't know each other. I grew up wearing a pair of pants with you, and I can guess the little things in your heart."
Xu Rongjing: "Are you annoying?"
"You were deflated outside, and you lost your temper at me, I'm sad..." Lu Shu said so, but he was used to it long ago. Xu Rongjing's temper is like this.
"I think you just need to clean up. You have been used to going smoothly since you were a child. Boss Luo just rejected you. Then you get more and more courageous and go against the current."
"I'm not going." Xu Rongjing said firmly.
"Hey, now you're acting like an artist again. If you have a high spirit, then you will die alone forever."
Xu Rongjing turned his head and stared at Lu Shu, Lu Shu was not afraid of him, he raised his chin and said, "You won't be embarrassed, I'll go to the gym with you tomorrow, it's okay."
Xu Rongjing turned his head: "No."
"If you are angry now, I will treat you as a fart. Bring your gear tomorrow night and I will drive."
Lu Shu left his words and went outside to teach the students. Xu Rongjing threw the wooden lead into the pen tray after drawing the big frame. He stared at the outline on the white paper and wanted to get up and remove the paper, but the next I didn't think about it again for a second, picked up the paint tray next to it, and started to color.
It was midnight, Lu Shu finished packing and was about to leave, when he saw that the light in Xu Rongjing's cubicle was still on.
"Mr. Xu, are you still leaving?"
"Ah."
Lu Shu opened the door a little bit, seeing Xu Rongjing's seriousness in painting, he didn't bother again, "I'm going first, you go to the attic to sleep for a while after you finish painting."
"Ah."
Lu Shu closed the door for him, stood there for a while, sighed, then went downstairs to lock the door and left.
Xu Rongjing painted in the cubicle by himself for several hours. When he put down his brush and took out his phone to check the time, it was already four o'clock in the morning, during which time he went to the toilet twice.
From yesterday to now, he has only eaten a sandwich. He has been hungry for a long time, but he doesn't feel anything.
He stood up and stared blankly at the painting.
In the end, he got angry with himself again, picked up the easel, and threw the easel and the painting beside the big trash can on the third floor.
Afterwards, I didn't drag my feet at all. I took a shower, changed my clothes, and went to sleep in the attic.
The next day, Lu Shu got up early and bought glutinous rice cakes, soup dumplings, fried dumplings, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, to comfort Xu Rongjing who failed in his confession yesterday.
He opened the door with the key and walked to the third floor. He held the breakfast in his hand and looked at the easel next to the trash can and the painting on the easel, laughing uncontrollably.
He laughed and shouted: "Xu Rongjing! Wake up!"
The attic didn't respond.
"Xu Rongjing, Teacher Xu, Rong Rong, brother Rong, are you childish, you throw away after painting?"
Only the people in the attic responded: "No more! Throw it away!"
Lu Shu smiled and carried the breakfast up to the attic and put it in front of his bed, Xu Rongjing shrank under the quilt, "Really don't want it? Then I really throw it away?"
"Throw it away, stop talking nonsense."
"Here's the breakfast, you can buy what you like."
"Um……"
"What time did you go to bed last night?"
"04:30."
Lu Shu punched him: "Today's class is canceled for you, just sleep and go to the gym tonight."
"Don't go..."
Lu Shu punched him through the quilt again, then closed the door and left.
He came to the big trash can on the third floor and looked at the painting with his waist down. Xu Rongjing's masterpiece, what a pity to throw it away. Outside, each of his paintings sold for 10,000+.
He snapped his fingers, untied the painting, framed it, and secretly put it in the trunk of his car.
In the evening, Lu Shu pushed open the door of the attic again, "Go to the gym?"
Xu Rongjing also put the cat in the quilt: "No, I won't go if I say no!"
"Okay, then I'll go by myself."
"roll."
Lu Shu glanced at the breakfasts that had already been eaten, closed the door with a thud, and drove to TIME.
He knew that with Xu Rongjing's mentality of wanting to save face, he would never go with him today, it was just right not to go, otherwise how could he give Boss Luo a big gift.
After a while, Xu Rongjing sat up, grabbed the chicken hair that must have been fried, dragged his tired body to the door of the attic, opened the door a crack, and looked at the big trash can on the third floor from the crack.
The easel is gone, and the painting is gone.
Xu Rongjing pursed his lips, walked back a few steps, fell back on the bed, and covered his head under the quilt.
I really lost...a grandson...
"I've been painting all night!" He beat the bed twice as if venting his anger.
Chapter ⑤
Luo Yan had just finished cycling, sweat flowed down his cheeks to his perfect chin, dripped into his neck, and was finally absorbed by the sweat-wicking tights. He drank water, walked to the power zone, and prepared for the next round. When he turned around, He caught a glimpse of someone at the front desk waving enthusiastically at him.
Luo Yan racked his brains to think about this person, he seemed to be a teacher in the studio, Ren Lei's friend, he wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, put down the water bottle and walked to the front desk.
"Boss Luo!" Lu Shu warmly greeted him.
Luo Yan nodded her head symbolically, she was really unfamiliar and didn't want to talk to him.
"Boss Luo, I have a gift for you," Lu Shu moved aside, pointing to the tightly wrapped large rectangle leaning against the front desk.
Luo Yan didn't understand why this person gave him a gift suddenly, "What is this?"
Lu Shu smiled and said, "My friend's painting is the most suitable gift for you."
Luo Yan didn't understand, so he said coldly: "Take it back, my place is not a place to hang paintings."
In this heavy metal-style gym, hanging a picture always feels a bit awkward.
Lu Shu: "Don't, why don't you read it first and then decide whether you want it or not?"
"No need, thank you for your kindness." Luo Yan bluntly refused without saving face.
Lu Shu put his hand on the picture frame, what a mess, it's different from what he planned.
Ren Lei just finished leading the people downstairs, and saw Lu Shu who was standing at the front desk, "Shu'er, why are you here so early today!"
Seeing the savior, Lu Shu patted the painting under his hands: "Lei Zi, I'm here to deliver the painting to Boss Luo."
Ren Lei looked at the tightly wrapped rectangle, "What kind of painting? Can I take it apart and have a look? No one has ever given us Brother Luo a painting."
Lu Shu: "Of course, this painting is very good."
Just as Luo Yan wanted to stop it, Ren Lei had already started. He tore the outer wrapping paper with his hands and opened it, revealing half of the painting inside.
Ren Lei stared at the person on the half of the face in the painting: "Why does this person look so familiar to me..." He quickly removed all the remaining packaging that blocked the painting, "Wow!"
Ren Lei tugged Luo Yan's arm, "Brother Luo, this is you!"
"Yes, shut up."
Luo Yan is not blind, when he saw half of the painting just now, he knew that the painting was about him.The angle of the painting is the side face, and the surrounding scenes are familiar, so he frowned slightly.
Ren Lei asked: "Where is this? When did you become a mannequin?"
Luo Yan answered casually: "Lawson is opposite."
Luo Yan thought of something, and asked Lu Shu, "Is this your friend who drew this picture?"
Lu Shu enthusiastically replied: "Yes, I am a child."
Luo Yan asked blankly, "He asked you to give this painting to me?"
Lu Shu smiled embarrassedly, and said sincerely: "It's not...in fact...he threw the painting away, and I picked it up."
Luo Yan: "Throw it away?"
"Yes, he went back to the studio yesterday evening. As soon as he got back, he locked himself in the room and drew. He painted all night and then threw the painting away. I saw it as a pity. The painting on it was you again. I packed it for you." Lu Shu explained it in detail, not forgetting to observe Luo Yan's reaction.
Luo Yan made an inexplicable smile: "This bad temper."
Lu Shu thought to himself, it's cold, and after only a few days of acquaintance, Luo Yan knew that Xu Rongjing's temper was stinky and weird, wouldn't it be more difficult to develop.
Lu Shu sighed, forget it, he tried his best as a brother, "Then I'd better take this painting back."
Ren Lei snatched it down: "Don't, what a great painting! Brother Luo, don't you think so?"
Luo Yan held the towel in his hand, thought for a while, and said coldly, "Leave it."
He looked at Lu Shu again: "Thank you, I'm sorry." Then he walked to the power zone.
Lu Shu was a little confused now. Is this interesting to his teacher Xu or not?
"Shu'er, wait a minute," Ren Lei hurriedly carried the painting back to the lounge, and then ran back non-stop and asked, "Who drew this painting?"
Lu Shu: "Didn't I just say that I'm a kid."
"Who are you kidding? Do I know you?"
Lu Shu thought for a while: "He said that you took him to practice on the first day he came here."
Ren Lei recalled, and suddenly clapped his hands: "Ah, is it that white, and then there is a mole on his face, and he wears glasses."
"That's right, that's him."
Ren Lei hooked Lu Shu's shoulder, "Dude!"
"What?"
"Are you interested in Brother Luo?" Ren Lei whispered, "Otherwise, why would you draw for him?"
Lu Shu cleared his throat: "This matter can only be felt, not expressed in words."
Ren Lei: "Didn't I worry about you being a child? I didn't dare to match, so he is?"
Lu Shu hinted: "When I was young, it was not easy to draw others."
"Understood, I understand," Ren Lei patted Lu Shu on the shoulder, "Secretly, I'm telling you that my brother Luo likes money from you. Today, Brother Luo accepted the painting, which means there is something going on."
Lu Shu's eyes glowed: "Really?"
"How many years have I been with Brother Luo, how can this be fake, let's help them when we have time?"
Lu Shu stretched out his palm and let the lightning strike, and the two secretly reached an agreement.
Luo Yan finished strength training, took a bath and changed clothes, went back to the lounge from the men's room, pushed open the door of the lounge, and could see the large painting on the sofa at a glance. I don't know if Ren Lei did it on purpose. It's not good where to put it, if you insist on putting it in such an eye-catching place, it's hard for him not to see it.
He leaned against the wall, looked at it for a while, then exited the lounge and went to the front desk.
Luo Yan pointed to the mobile phone next to the computer at the front desk, and said to the front desk: "Xiao Min, give me your work mobile phone."
"okay."
Luo Yan took the work phone, tapped the screen a few times, then handed it back, "Okay."
Xiao Min glanced at the WeChat contact interface, not knowing what the boss was doing just now.
Luo Yan went back to the lounge, sat in front of the computer and picked up his mobile phone. Just now he pushed Xu Rongjing's WeChat to his private account with his work mobile phone. Now he is facing that business card, hesitating whether to add friends.
After moaning for a long time, he threw the phone back on the table, and clicked on the boxing video quite agitatedly.
He made it so clear yesterday that if he wants to add friends now, it will make people think too much, so he thinks it's better to forget it.
As soon as the phone screen on the table lit up, Luo Yan glanced at it. He picked up Ren Lei's message and opened it.
Ren Lei: Brother Luo, that painting is quite expensive. It costs 10,000+. Shu'er said that he can sell it for this price if he draws it casually when he was young.
Ren Lei: Now that you have accepted the painting, you must thank him, otherwise it would be too bad.
Ren Lei: Brother Luo?
Luo Yan: You are bothering me.
Ren Lei: (crying)
Luo Yan exited the chat box. If he didn't accept the painting, there wouldn't be so many troubles. Why did he get so mad just now that he asked people to keep the painting.
Luo Yan frowned, clicked on the business card, and sent a friend request.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the other party agreeing, thinking that I was forced by something again.
Xu Rongjing, who was sleeping in the dark, naturally didn't find that he didn't have time to touch his mobile phone. He stayed up all night and shortened his life by ten years. For someone like him who devotes himself to painting, it is estimated that his life will be shortened by 20 years.
He lay on the bed in the attic, squinted his eyes and opened his hands in a daze, "Ah...it's past three o'clock..."
He woke up from this sleep, and actually slept for nearly 24 hours. Xu Rongjing stretched out his hand and opened the window next to him, and took a deep breath. The air at three o'clock in the morning... also smelled of smog.
Xu Rongjing lay down again, looked at the message on WeChat, the new friend in the address book had a "1" with a red dot, he clicked on it and his dazed head immediately sobered up.
The friend verification said: I am Luo Yan.
Xu Rongjing sat up from the bed, and immediately clicked through. He originally wanted to ask why he added him as a friend, but after thinking about it, he felt why he asked so clearly. Isn't it just a friend, which made him care too much.
Xu Rongjing put his phone aside, got out of bed and pulled on his slippers, the WeChat notification sounded.
Luo Yan: Thank you for your painting.
Xu Rongjing stared at these words back and forth several times, Huaer?What painting?
Hold!Lu Shu is a grandson!
Xu Rongjing: What kind of painting, I don't know.
Luo Yan sent a picture: this.
Xu Yongjing: I didn't draw it.
Luo Yan: Okay, if you say no, then it’s not.
Xu Rongjing almost lost his breath, the way of heaven is reincarnation, and the sky will spare no one.
Xu Rongjing didn't know why and didn't come back, he put his phone on the bedside table and went to take a shower.In the foggy and rainy room, the warm water washed away the tiredness all over his body. Xu Rongjing blinked and looked at the tiles. In fact, he was quite curious why Luo Yan didn't sleep at three o'clock in the morning. .
He shook his head, bewildered, his head is full of flames, after all these years, just these days are the only ones who are short of men?
He turned off the water, wrapped himself in a towel and went out.
At this moment, Luo Yan was sitting on a small stool beside the hospital bed, with stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes.When he arrived at his home at night, he received a call from his mother, saying that he had a stomachache, so he rushed to his mother's house in a hurry and sent him to the emergency room.A lot of age, appendicitis, is also a toss.
Luo Yan stared at the WeChat dialog box, Xu Rongjing didn't reply to him any more, he smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, why is this person so awkward, what he draws is what he draws, and he still doesn't admit it.
But still awake at three in the morning, this person's life is not very regular, is it like this for painters?
Luo Yan didn't feel sleepy at all, so she typed a few more words and sent them: VIP?
Xu Rongjing had just dried his hair when Luo Yan replied, VIP?Is this his "pet name"?
He replied: what?
Luo Yan: Have breakfast together?
Xu Rongjing: Are you convulsed today?
Luo Yan raised an eyebrow, why is this person so ignorant of good people?
Xu Rongjing then replied: Where is your treat?
Luo Yan looked at this sentence and smiled helplessly. This person must have a temper, and replied: I will send you the location at that time.
Xu Rongjing: OK.
The first WeChat conversation between the two ended successfully.
At six o'clock in the morning, Xu Rongjing drove his SUV and parked in front of a breakfast stand near the hospital.
He sat in the car, his gaze first fell on the four words "Dawang Breakfast" written on the peeled-off paint signboard, and then on the man sitting in front of the worn-out plastic table and chair.
Open-air breakfast, eat a mouthful, take a breath of exhaust gas, and wait for the best.
Xu Rongjing got out of the car and walked in front of Luo Yan. Luo Yan lifted his chin and motioned him to sit beside him.
Xu Rongjing cautiously picked a cleaner plastic chair and sat down.
Looking at his appearance, Luo Yan thought it was funny: "What? Great painter? Have you ever eaten at a roadside stall?"
Xu Rongjing said solemnly: "Our family rules don't allow me to eat roadside stalls."
Luo Yan bowed his head and ate a mouthful of tofu curd. Not only did he have a bad temper, but he also behaved like a dog.
Chapter ⑥
Xu Rongjing sat beside him upright, although Luo Yan didn't show it on the surface, he laughed at him eight hundred times in his heart.
Luo Yan turned around and said, "Boss, here's a full banquet!"
"okay."
Xu Rongjing watched as the boss brought up portions of breakfast, filling the table in front of him.
Luo Yan pushed his empty bean curd bowl aside: "It's all yours, you can eat whatever you like."
Xu Rongjing actually didn't want to eat it, but his stomach growled uncontrollably. He took out a pair of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick holder, took a bite of the deep-fried dough stick.
If you eat this once in your life, you won't die.
Luo Yan looked at his unwillingness to see death as home, turned his head to the other side, and secretly laughed a few times.
Luo Yan moistened her throat: "That's not how fried dough sticks are eaten."
Xu Rongjing couldn't wait to grit his teeth and ask, "If you don't eat like this, then how should you eat?"
Luo Yan put the soy milk bowl in front of him, pulled the fried dough sticks into pieces and put them into the soy milk bowl, "It tastes better when soaked, eat it."
Suspicious, Xu Rongjing threw the fried dough sticks on the chopsticks back into the plate, took a piece of fried dough sticks soaked in soy milk and put them in his mouth.
Luo Yan: "How is it?"
Xu Rongjing looked at him and said, "It's not bad." He quickly picked up a few pieces and stuffed them into his mouth, making his mouth bulge.
Luo Yan looked at it and smiled.
Xu Rongjing took out a piece of paper to wipe it, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and sent a WeChat message to Lu Shu: You don't need to bring me breakfast today, I ate it outside by myself.
At this point, Lu Shu will definitely not reply to him, but it will be fine as long as he informs in place.
Luo Yan then placed salted bean curds, egg cakes, meat buns, pumpkin cakes, horseshoe cakes, sesame balls, and shredded radish cakes in front of Xu Rongjing one by one. Xu Rongjing couldn't eat any more, so he put down his chopsticks: "I'm full."
"Is this enough?"
"Yeah." He probably ate three times what he usually eats today.
After Luo Yan ate all the rest of Xu Rongjing's food without saying a word, she got up, took out her phone, and went to pay the bill.
Luo Yan wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Let's go, great artist, why don't you stick around here after eating?"
Xu Rongjing: "Where are you going?"
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Everyone goes back to their respective homes, where else can they go."
Xu Rongjing was embarrassed, he thought Luo Yan was going to take him to another place.
Luo Yan looked at Xu Rongjing's face under the sun, thought for a while and said, "After eating this breakfast today, let's write off all the previous things. It's okay to make friends. After all, you gave me the paintings, right?"
Xu Rongjing snorted coldly, but refused to admit it: "I didn't draw it."
After saying this, he turned around and got into his ostentatious SUV. He drove the car next to Luo Yan, "Shall I give you a ride?"
Luo Yan pointed to the hospital ahead: "I have something to do in the hospital."
Xu Rongjing: "My girlfriend had a miscarriage? Or did my wife give birth?"
With his hands in his trouser pockets, Luo Yan felt that this person was in need of cleaning up: "My mother is hospitalized."
Xu Rongjing said "Oh", "Let's go."
Then he stepped on the accelerator, and it disappeared after a burst of dust.
Luo Yan shook his head, he was an idiot again today, looking for trouble for nothing.
Xu Rongjing first went home and put the changed clothes into the basket, the servant auntie would wash them when she saw it, and then packed a few new sets of clothes to take with her.
He opened the refrigerator. There were fresh cherries in the refrigerator, which had been washed and placed in a crisper. He took them out, lay on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and ate.
He ate too much greasy food in the morning, and he had to press it down.
This was the first time he had eaten at a roadside stall since he had lived for 28 years. The breakfast he had eaten since he was a child was either made by his aunt at home, or bought for him by Lu Shu in a high-end restaurant.
Knowing that it was his first time to eat a roadside stall, Luo Yan's expression just now was mocking him, right?
He gets angry just thinking about it.
The phone rang, Xu Rongjing took out the phone from his trouser pocket, looked at the caller ID, he turned on the speakerphone and answered, "Mom."
"Rong Rong, how have you been recently?"
"pretty good."
"Auntie said you seldom go home to sleep."
"Painting is so obsessed, I forgot the time, so I slept in the studio."
"Is the meal delicious?"
"Well, I ate, and I didn't miss a meal."
Xu Rongjing suddenly asked: "Mom, have you ever eaten at a roadside stall?"
"Street stall? No, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"It's okay, just ask."
You see, he is not the only one in the world who has never eaten a roadside stall!
Xu Rongjing chatted with his mother about trivial matters, and was about to hang up the phone, but his mother suddenly said, "Have you talked to someone recently?"
Xu Rongjing thought of Luo Yan: "No."
"Whether you like boys or girls, mom supports you, and mom wants you to be happy."
"Well, Mom, I know. If I have a partner, I will be the first to tell you."
"Okay, then mom hung up the phone."
"OK Bye Bye."
Xu Rongjing is a single-parent family. His parents divorced when he was ten years old. His mother is a pianist and toured the world. Later, he married a foreign conductor and settled abroad.
Xu Rongjing followed his father, his father was a photographer, he was out shooting films all year round, and he stayed at home for a few days, he grew up in this kind of life where only the nanny and auntie took care of him.
Maybe that's why he grew crooked and fell in love with men.
When he came out to his parents, her mother was taken aback, probably because she had been educated abroad for a long time, she immediately accepted it and wished him happiness.His father was even more amusing, and directly said, "As expected of his son, he has a free soul", and then hung up the phone to take pictures of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
So in this case, the only rough place is his master, who still refuses to see him.
Thinking of these elders, Xu Rongjing suddenly remembered that Luo Yan said just now that his mother was hospitalized.
After thinking for a while, he put down the fresh-keeping box in his hand, picked up his phone, and sent a WeChat message to Luo Yan.
Xu Rongjing: Give me your phone number.
Luo Yan: 189xxxxxxxx.
Xu Rongjing: OK.
Luo Yan: Why?
Xu Rongjing: I will harass you in the future.
Luo Yan: Nervous.
Xu Rongjing saved Luo Yan's phone number, then found a number in his address book, and dialed it.
In the hospital, Luo Yan was wiping her mother's hands by the hospital bed when her phone vibrated.
Looking at the unfamiliar number above, he remembered that Xu Rongjing asked him for a phone call an hour ago, so he went to the corridor to answer it: "Hello."
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Luo?"
"Yes, you are..."
"I'm here to give you flowers, and it's at the entrance of Mingyuan Hospital."
"Send flowers?"
"Yes, a gentleman who claims to be a VIP ordered it, is it convenient for you to go downstairs and get it now?"
"alright, please wait."
Luo Yan hung up the phone, VIP?Who else but Xu Rongjing.
Luo Yan went downstairs to pick up a large bouquet of lilies from the flower-giver and returned to the ward.
Lying sick, Zhang Yuefen looked at the bunch of flowers and asked, "Where did the flowers come from?"
Luo Yan: "Someone gave it to you."
Then he took off the above card and put it in front of his mother. It said-I wish my aunt a speedy recovery!
Zhang Yuefen asked kindly: "Who gave it to you?"
Luo Yan: "My friend."
"What kind of friend?"
"Mom, just ordinary friends."
Zhang Yuefen grabbed Luo Yan's hand: "You have no one around you these years. After I left, Mom was alone, quite deserted."
Luo Yan lowered his head and stirred the towel: "Yes."
Zhang Yuefen looked at the flowers with a smile and said: "Put these flowers in a vase. Mom likes them. The person who gave them must be a caring child."
"it is good."
Luo Yan went to the bathroom and poured out the water. After drying her hands, she found another glass bottle, arranged the flowers, and put them on the bedside. "Mom, I'm going out for a while."
"Well, let's go."
Luo Yan went outside the hospital, sat down on a bench in a corner, and lit a cigarette.
Then he took out his mobile phone and sent Xu Rongjing a WeChat message: Thank you for the flowers.
Xu Rongjing: Auntie, do you like it?
Luo Yan: Yes.
Xu Yongjing: Just as long as you like it.
Luo Yan hung her fingers on the keyboard for a while, and continued typing: When are you coming to the gym?
Xu Rongjing: I will come whenever you are free.
Luo Yan smiled: What?Still thinking about me?
Xu Rongjing: No, your big boss taught me personally, I have face.
Luo Yan: Okay, this Saturday.
Xu Rongjing: OK, I pay you a lot for the private education fee.
Luo Yan: Nervous.
Xu Rongjing was puzzled, what he said, Luo Yan scolded him twice for being crazy, he thought he was crazy, and even wanted to be brothers with him after rejecting him, get out, there is no pure socialist brotherhood!
Xu Rongjing opened the car door and got out of the car. Lu Shu was hovering at the door of the studio, "Mr. Xu, you are here! I forgot my keys today!"
Xu Rongjing took out the key: "The pig's brain is talking about you
Xu Rongjing stayed at the art exhibition until the evening before leaving. His senior brother had improved a lot in painting recently. He deeply doubted whether this person found inspiration from the group of Yingying Yanyan around him.
After getting out of the elevator, Xu Rongjing didn't go to the parking lot to drive, but went to the gate to take a breath of fresh air.
He looked around, and suddenly found that it was not very far from the gym. He searched on his mobile phone, and it was indeed close, just two subway stops away.
After 10 minutes, Xu Rongjing looked at the TIME sign 50 meters ahead of him, and felt that he must be idle.He didn't drive, he took two subway stops to come here, but he was embarrassed to go in here, so he told Ren Lei that he would not come today at noon.
Xu Rongjing glanced left and right, turned right, and entered Lawson, who was diagonally opposite to TIME, bought a can of Coke and sat by the window, staring at the gym opposite in a daze.
Sitting so stupidly for half an hour at a time, he didn't even know that someone was staring at him at the door.
When Luo Yan came back from outside, he found that his regular cigarette was gone, so he wanted to buy chewing gum to chew, but when he entered Lawson, he saw that VIP with a lot of money sitting by the window.
After paying the money, he smoked a piece of gum and chewed for a while, and found that the VIP was still in a daze in that posture, and thought why he was staring at him, he was an idiot, threw the candy wrapper, turned around and left.
When he got to the traffic lights, he couldn't help but look back, the big white melon VIP was still in a daze, he suddenly felt funny, the light was green, he didn't cross the road, but he walked back, went outside Lawson, and stood by him Facing him, staring straight at him.
Xu Rongjing was still in a state of emptiness, and felt that a huge object was blocking his view, so he slowly regained his senses, only to be startled by the pair of dark eyes staring at him from outside the glass.
"Luo Yan?" He was surprised.
From the outside, Luo Yan saw that his mouth shape was calling him, and the surprise on his face made him even more amused.
Luo Yan walked in from the outside, Xu Rongjing's eyes followed him until he sat down beside him.
Luo Yan raised her eyebrows: "VIP, you're in a daze, do you drink Coke?"
Xu Rongjing: "What happened to Coke?"
Luo Yan opened his mouth, and mouthed to say—spermicide.
Xu Rongjing smiled: "There is no scientific basis for this, so it's not credible."
At the end, he added: "Even if it's true, it won't affect me much, anyway, I'm destined not to be able to carry on the family."
Luo Yan heard these words, and heard them very clearly.
Luo Yan didn't know why he got so stupid again, jokingly asked, "Are you the same?"
He wanted to take it back when he said it, but Xu Rongjing responded, "Yes."
The wind is light and the clouds are light.
Chapter ④
Luo Yan was shocked and wanted to laugh, he didn't expect the big white melon VIP to answer so frankly.
Luo Yan looked out of the window in the same posture as him: "I'll just ask casually."
"Well, I just wanted to trick you into asking," he turned to look at Luo Yan, and said with a smirk, "I said that on purpose."
Luo Yan tilted her head and met his gaze, "Huh?"
"I'm acting so obvious, you don't know what I mean?" Xu Rongjing's words were explicit and provocative.
Luo Yan grinned, they were all adults, how could he not understand what he meant, he just didn't expect Xu Rongjing to know his sexual orientation, and he didn't expect Xu Rongjing to be in the same category as him, "How old are you, maybe twenty , Young people, don’t be impulsive, you don’t know who I am.”
Xu Rongjing shrugged helplessly: "I'm 28, Tong Yan, you can't tell."
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, looked up and down at Xu Rongjing several times, "I really didn't see it..."
As for Xu Rongjing's delicate and innocent appearance, he would never have imagined that he was already 28.
Xu Rongjing: "If you don't understand it, just slowly understand it, and try to see what's wrong."
"I don't want to try." Luo Yan no longer giggled with him, but got serious.
Xu Rongjing took a sip of Coke, it was too sweet, he lost his breath...
Luo Yan's meaning was obvious just now, and he rejected him.
Luo Yan looked disillusioned: "We only met last night, today is the second time."
Xu Rongjing was silent.
Luo Yanxin said bluntly: "I don't believe in love at first sight, it all depends on appearance."
Xu Rongjing lowered his head slowly. To be honest, he dared to do that just now, and he had summoned up all his courage.
Luo Yan looked at him from the corner of his eye: "If I didn't look like this, would you have taken a fancy to me last night?"
"Actually, it's freshness. After a while, you won't have any feelings for me."
Xu Rongjing held the Coke in his hand, the can had already been crushed by him, he stood up and said with some anger: "Stop talking! I know!"
Lu Shu told him that he was very well protected. He had never suffered or suffered any grievances since he was a child, so as long as he was hit, the saplings in his greenhouse would be easily broken.
He walked around Luo Yan with his head down, threw the Coke into the trash can, opened the door and left.
Luo Yan watched him go towards the subway angrily from inside, gritted his teeth, what's the matter?Angry?
He hasn't said anything excessive yet, why is he so small-minded?
Luo Yan took another piece of gum out of his pocket and chewed it in his mouth. The more he chewed, the more unpleasant it became. When he was talking just now, he saw that the big white melon VIP's eyes were red. Didn't he say that he was crying?
Luo Yan twisted the package in his hand and bounced it into the trash can. He shouldn't have folded it back just now, he must be an idiot now.
Xu Rongjing went into the subway angrily, he failed to flirt, but was told a lot.
To be honest, he was very upset and felt very wronged.
What's wrong with love at first sight, love at first sight can also be beautiful.
He looked at Luo Yan with the eyes of an artist, and he believed in his own eyes that Luo Yan was definitely not bad, otherwise he wouldn't want to chase after him.
This time, he was beaten back without even chasing him.
If he wants to chase after him, he really can only think about it in the future. He can't hold back his face and confess his love so blatantly like today.
Xu Rongjing took off his glasses and leaned back on the subway chair, thinking about the muscle lines of Luo Yan sitting next to him just now, his heart beat twice again.
But let alone, now that he thinks about it again, he feels that Luo Yan's image in his heart has become a little taller.
"Xu Rongjing, you are superficial..." He scolded himself.
Xu Rongjing took the subway back to the parking lot of the art exhibition. He wanted to drive home, but he drove the car back to the studio unknowingly.
When I returned to the studio, it was the peak business hours in the evening, and there were many tourists who came to draw instant paintings on the first and second floors.
Seeing a handsome guy coming, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
When they reached the third floor, Lu Shu greeted him, and he could tell at a glance that Xu Rongjing was in a bad mood.
"What's the matter with you? Did Tiantian mess with you again today? It didn't rain."
Xu Rongjing put on an apron for himself: "God didn't mess with me, you did."
"Why did I mess with you?" Lu Shu said that he was innocent.
"Who asked you to recommend that gym to me."
"Aren't you quite satisfied in the morning? Why did you change your mind just after the afternoon?"
"Not satisfied, not satisfied at all."
Lu Shu finally understood, "Did you see Boss Luo today?"
Xu Rongjing didn't answer.
"Didn't you go to the art exhibition, why did you go to the gym again?"
"I didn't go to the gym." Xu Rongjing put on a headband and pulled all his hair up on his head, revealing a clean face with especially big eyes.
"You didn't go to the gym, why did you meet Boss Luo?"
Xu Rongjing pursed his lips: "I went to Lawson outside the gym."
"I went to watch someone's house with you, why didn't I find you so perverted before."
"You're a pervert!" Xu Rongjing walked back to his cubicle, "It was a coincidence that I met him, and I just sat in a daze at Lawson."
"and then?"
Xu Rongjing took the brush to adjust the color, "Then the environment is favorable and the atmosphere is good, so I will confess myself."
Lu Shu hesitated for a second: "Damn!"
"Teacher Xu, you can do it! Just confess to someone like that!"
"if not?"
Lu Shu leaned against the door, "It seems that you were rejected."
Xu Rongjing let out a "hum".
"It's okay, there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, why bother to fall in love with this grass alone, you will meet better ones."
Xu Rongjing didn't say a word.
Lu Shu observed his words and said, "What? You don't want to give up yet."
Xu Rongjing put down the brush, changed a piece of drawing paper, took the wood again
The lead begins to roughly outline the frame.
Lu Shu lifted his stool: "Don't say anything, you and I don't know each other. I grew up wearing a pair of pants with you, and I can guess the little things in your heart."
Xu Rongjing: "Are you annoying?"
"You were deflated outside, and you lost your temper at me, I'm sad..." Lu Shu said so, but he was used to it long ago. Xu Rongjing's temper is like this.
"I think you just need to clean up. You have been used to going smoothly since you were a child. Boss Luo just rejected you. Then you get more and more courageous and go against the current."
"I'm not going." Xu Rongjing said firmly.
"Hey, now you're acting like an artist again. If you have a high spirit, then you will die alone forever."
Xu Rongjing turned his head and stared at Lu Shu, Lu Shu was not afraid of him, he raised his chin and said, "You won't be embarrassed, I'll go to the gym with you tomorrow, it's okay."
Xu Rongjing turned his head: "No."
"If you are angry now, I will treat you as a fart. Bring your gear tomorrow night and I will drive."
Lu Shu left his words and went outside to teach the students. Xu Rongjing threw the wooden lead into the pen tray after drawing the big frame. He stared at the outline on the white paper and wanted to get up and remove the paper, but the next I didn't think about it again for a second, picked up the paint tray next to it, and started to color.
It was midnight, Lu Shu finished packing and was about to leave, when he saw that the light in Xu Rongjing's cubicle was still on.
"Mr. Xu, are you still leaving?"
"Ah."
Lu Shu opened the door a little bit, seeing Xu Rongjing's seriousness in painting, he didn't bother again, "I'm going first, you go to the attic to sleep for a while after you finish painting."
"Ah."
Lu Shu closed the door for him, stood there for a while, sighed, then went downstairs to lock the door and left.
Xu Rongjing painted in the cubicle by himself for several hours. When he put down his brush and took out his phone to check the time, it was already four o'clock in the morning, during which time he went to the toilet twice.
From yesterday to now, he has only eaten a sandwich. He has been hungry for a long time, but he doesn't feel anything.
He stood up and stared blankly at the painting.
In the end, he got angry with himself again, picked up the easel, and threw the easel and the painting beside the big trash can on the third floor.
Afterwards, I didn't drag my feet at all. I took a shower, changed my clothes, and went to sleep in the attic.
The next day, Lu Shu got up early and bought glutinous rice cakes, soup dumplings, fried dumplings, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, to comfort Xu Rongjing who failed in his confession yesterday.
He opened the door with the key and walked to the third floor. He held the breakfast in his hand and looked at the easel next to the trash can and the painting on the easel, laughing uncontrollably.
He laughed and shouted: "Xu Rongjing! Wake up!"
The attic didn't respond.
"Xu Rongjing, Teacher Xu, Rong Rong, brother Rong, are you childish, you throw away after painting?"
Only the people in the attic responded: "No more! Throw it away!"
Lu Shu smiled and carried the breakfast up to the attic and put it in front of his bed, Xu Rongjing shrank under the quilt, "Really don't want it? Then I really throw it away?"
"Throw it away, stop talking nonsense."
"Here's the breakfast, you can buy what you like."
"Um……"
"What time did you go to bed last night?"
"04:30."
Lu Shu punched him: "Today's class is canceled for you, just sleep and go to the gym tonight."
"Don't go..."
Lu Shu punched him through the quilt again, then closed the door and left.
He came to the big trash can on the third floor and looked at the painting with his waist down. Xu Rongjing's masterpiece, what a pity to throw it away. Outside, each of his paintings sold for 10,000+.
He snapped his fingers, untied the painting, framed it, and secretly put it in the trunk of his car.
In the evening, Lu Shu pushed open the door of the attic again, "Go to the gym?"
Xu Rongjing also put the cat in the quilt: "No, I won't go if I say no!"
"Okay, then I'll go by myself."
"roll."
Lu Shu glanced at the breakfasts that had already been eaten, closed the door with a thud, and drove to TIME.
He knew that with Xu Rongjing's mentality of wanting to save face, he would never go with him today, it was just right not to go, otherwise how could he give Boss Luo a big gift.
After a while, Xu Rongjing sat up, grabbed the chicken hair that must have been fried, dragged his tired body to the door of the attic, opened the door a crack, and looked at the big trash can on the third floor from the crack.
The easel is gone, and the painting is gone.
Xu Rongjing pursed his lips, walked back a few steps, fell back on the bed, and covered his head under the quilt.
I really lost...a grandson...
"I've been painting all night!" He beat the bed twice as if venting his anger.
Chapter ⑤
Luo Yan had just finished cycling, sweat flowed down his cheeks to his perfect chin, dripped into his neck, and was finally absorbed by the sweat-wicking tights. He drank water, walked to the power zone, and prepared for the next round. When he turned around, He caught a glimpse of someone at the front desk waving enthusiastically at him.
Luo Yan racked his brains to think about this person, he seemed to be a teacher in the studio, Ren Lei's friend, he wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, put down the water bottle and walked to the front desk.
"Boss Luo!" Lu Shu warmly greeted him.
Luo Yan nodded her head symbolically, she was really unfamiliar and didn't want to talk to him.
"Boss Luo, I have a gift for you," Lu Shu moved aside, pointing to the tightly wrapped large rectangle leaning against the front desk.
Luo Yan didn't understand why this person gave him a gift suddenly, "What is this?"
Lu Shu smiled and said, "My friend's painting is the most suitable gift for you."
Luo Yan didn't understand, so he said coldly: "Take it back, my place is not a place to hang paintings."
In this heavy metal-style gym, hanging a picture always feels a bit awkward.
Lu Shu: "Don't, why don't you read it first and then decide whether you want it or not?"
"No need, thank you for your kindness." Luo Yan bluntly refused without saving face.
Lu Shu put his hand on the picture frame, what a mess, it's different from what he planned.
Ren Lei just finished leading the people downstairs, and saw Lu Shu who was standing at the front desk, "Shu'er, why are you here so early today!"
Seeing the savior, Lu Shu patted the painting under his hands: "Lei Zi, I'm here to deliver the painting to Boss Luo."
Ren Lei looked at the tightly wrapped rectangle, "What kind of painting? Can I take it apart and have a look? No one has ever given us Brother Luo a painting."
Lu Shu: "Of course, this painting is very good."
Just as Luo Yan wanted to stop it, Ren Lei had already started. He tore the outer wrapping paper with his hands and opened it, revealing half of the painting inside.
Ren Lei stared at the person on the half of the face in the painting: "Why does this person look so familiar to me..." He quickly removed all the remaining packaging that blocked the painting, "Wow!"
Ren Lei tugged Luo Yan's arm, "Brother Luo, this is you!"
"Yes, shut up."
Luo Yan is not blind, when he saw half of the painting just now, he knew that the painting was about him.The angle of the painting is the side face, and the surrounding scenes are familiar, so he frowned slightly.
Ren Lei asked: "Where is this? When did you become a mannequin?"
Luo Yan answered casually: "Lawson is opposite."
Luo Yan thought of something, and asked Lu Shu, "Is this your friend who drew this picture?"
Lu Shu enthusiastically replied: "Yes, I am a child."
Luo Yan asked blankly, "He asked you to give this painting to me?"
Lu Shu smiled embarrassedly, and said sincerely: "It's not...in fact...he threw the painting away, and I picked it up."
Luo Yan: "Throw it away?"
"Yes, he went back to the studio yesterday evening. As soon as he got back, he locked himself in the room and drew. He painted all night and then threw the painting away. I saw it as a pity. The painting on it was you again. I packed it for you." Lu Shu explained it in detail, not forgetting to observe Luo Yan's reaction.
Luo Yan made an inexplicable smile: "This bad temper."
Lu Shu thought to himself, it's cold, and after only a few days of acquaintance, Luo Yan knew that Xu Rongjing's temper was stinky and weird, wouldn't it be more difficult to develop.
Lu Shu sighed, forget it, he tried his best as a brother, "Then I'd better take this painting back."
Ren Lei snatched it down: "Don't, what a great painting! Brother Luo, don't you think so?"
Luo Yan held the towel in his hand, thought for a while, and said coldly, "Leave it."
He looked at Lu Shu again: "Thank you, I'm sorry." Then he walked to the power zone.
Lu Shu was a little confused now. Is this interesting to his teacher Xu or not?
"Shu'er, wait a minute," Ren Lei hurriedly carried the painting back to the lounge, and then ran back non-stop and asked, "Who drew this painting?"
Lu Shu: "Didn't I just say that I'm a kid."
"Who are you kidding? Do I know you?"
Lu Shu thought for a while: "He said that you took him to practice on the first day he came here."
Ren Lei recalled, and suddenly clapped his hands: "Ah, is it that white, and then there is a mole on his face, and he wears glasses."
"That's right, that's him."
Ren Lei hooked Lu Shu's shoulder, "Dude!"
"What?"
"Are you interested in Brother Luo?" Ren Lei whispered, "Otherwise, why would you draw for him?"
Lu Shu cleared his throat: "This matter can only be felt, not expressed in words."
Ren Lei: "Didn't I worry about you being a child? I didn't dare to match, so he is?"
Lu Shu hinted: "When I was young, it was not easy to draw others."
"Understood, I understand," Ren Lei patted Lu Shu on the shoulder, "Secretly, I'm telling you that my brother Luo likes money from you. Today, Brother Luo accepted the painting, which means there is something going on."
Lu Shu's eyes glowed: "Really?"
"How many years have I been with Brother Luo, how can this be fake, let's help them when we have time?"
Lu Shu stretched out his palm and let the lightning strike, and the two secretly reached an agreement.
Luo Yan finished strength training, took a bath and changed clothes, went back to the lounge from the men's room, pushed open the door of the lounge, and could see the large painting on the sofa at a glance. I don't know if Ren Lei did it on purpose. It's not good where to put it, if you insist on putting it in such an eye-catching place, it's hard for him not to see it.
He leaned against the wall, looked at it for a while, then exited the lounge and went to the front desk.
Luo Yan pointed to the mobile phone next to the computer at the front desk, and said to the front desk: "Xiao Min, give me your work mobile phone."
"okay."
Luo Yan took the work phone, tapped the screen a few times, then handed it back, "Okay."
Xiao Min glanced at the WeChat contact interface, not knowing what the boss was doing just now.
Luo Yan went back to the lounge, sat in front of the computer and picked up his mobile phone. Just now he pushed Xu Rongjing's WeChat to his private account with his work mobile phone. Now he is facing that business card, hesitating whether to add friends.
After moaning for a long time, he threw the phone back on the table, and clicked on the boxing video quite agitatedly.
He made it so clear yesterday that if he wants to add friends now, it will make people think too much, so he thinks it's better to forget it.
As soon as the phone screen on the table lit up, Luo Yan glanced at it. He picked up Ren Lei's message and opened it.
Ren Lei: Brother Luo, that painting is quite expensive. It costs 10,000+. Shu'er said that he can sell it for this price if he draws it casually when he was young.
Ren Lei: Now that you have accepted the painting, you must thank him, otherwise it would be too bad.
Ren Lei: Brother Luo?
Luo Yan: You are bothering me.
Ren Lei: (crying)
Luo Yan exited the chat box. If he didn't accept the painting, there wouldn't be so many troubles. Why did he get so mad just now that he asked people to keep the painting.
Luo Yan frowned, clicked on the business card, and sent a friend request.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the other party agreeing, thinking that I was forced by something again.
Xu Rongjing, who was sleeping in the dark, naturally didn't find that he didn't have time to touch his mobile phone. He stayed up all night and shortened his life by ten years. For someone like him who devotes himself to painting, it is estimated that his life will be shortened by 20 years.
He lay on the bed in the attic, squinted his eyes and opened his hands in a daze, "Ah...it's past three o'clock..."
He woke up from this sleep, and actually slept for nearly 24 hours. Xu Rongjing stretched out his hand and opened the window next to him, and took a deep breath. The air at three o'clock in the morning... also smelled of smog.
Xu Rongjing lay down again, looked at the message on WeChat, the new friend in the address book had a "1" with a red dot, he clicked on it and his dazed head immediately sobered up.
The friend verification said: I am Luo Yan.
Xu Rongjing sat up from the bed, and immediately clicked through. He originally wanted to ask why he added him as a friend, but after thinking about it, he felt why he asked so clearly. Isn't it just a friend, which made him care too much.
Xu Rongjing put his phone aside, got out of bed and pulled on his slippers, the WeChat notification sounded.
Luo Yan: Thank you for your painting.
Xu Rongjing stared at these words back and forth several times, Huaer?What painting?
Hold!Lu Shu is a grandson!
Xu Rongjing: What kind of painting, I don't know.
Luo Yan sent a picture: this.
Xu Yongjing: I didn't draw it.
Luo Yan: Okay, if you say no, then it’s not.
Xu Rongjing almost lost his breath, the way of heaven is reincarnation, and the sky will spare no one.
Xu Rongjing didn't know why and didn't come back, he put his phone on the bedside table and went to take a shower.In the foggy and rainy room, the warm water washed away the tiredness all over his body. Xu Rongjing blinked and looked at the tiles. In fact, he was quite curious why Luo Yan didn't sleep at three o'clock in the morning. .
He shook his head, bewildered, his head is full of flames, after all these years, just these days are the only ones who are short of men?
He turned off the water, wrapped himself in a towel and went out.
At this moment, Luo Yan was sitting on a small stool beside the hospital bed, with stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes.When he arrived at his home at night, he received a call from his mother, saying that he had a stomachache, so he rushed to his mother's house in a hurry and sent him to the emergency room.A lot of age, appendicitis, is also a toss.
Luo Yan stared at the WeChat dialog box, Xu Rongjing didn't reply to him any more, he smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, why is this person so awkward, what he draws is what he draws, and he still doesn't admit it.
But still awake at three in the morning, this person's life is not very regular, is it like this for painters?
Luo Yan didn't feel sleepy at all, so she typed a few more words and sent them: VIP?
Xu Rongjing had just dried his hair when Luo Yan replied, VIP?Is this his "pet name"?
He replied: what?
Luo Yan: Have breakfast together?
Xu Rongjing: Are you convulsed today?
Luo Yan raised an eyebrow, why is this person so ignorant of good people?
Xu Rongjing then replied: Where is your treat?
Luo Yan looked at this sentence and smiled helplessly. This person must have a temper, and replied: I will send you the location at that time.
Xu Rongjing: OK.
The first WeChat conversation between the two ended successfully.
At six o'clock in the morning, Xu Rongjing drove his SUV and parked in front of a breakfast stand near the hospital.
He sat in the car, his gaze first fell on the four words "Dawang Breakfast" written on the peeled-off paint signboard, and then on the man sitting in front of the worn-out plastic table and chair.
Open-air breakfast, eat a mouthful, take a breath of exhaust gas, and wait for the best.
Xu Rongjing got out of the car and walked in front of Luo Yan. Luo Yan lifted his chin and motioned him to sit beside him.
Xu Rongjing cautiously picked a cleaner plastic chair and sat down.
Looking at his appearance, Luo Yan thought it was funny: "What? Great painter? Have you ever eaten at a roadside stall?"
Xu Rongjing said solemnly: "Our family rules don't allow me to eat roadside stalls."
Luo Yan bowed his head and ate a mouthful of tofu curd. Not only did he have a bad temper, but he also behaved like a dog.
Chapter ⑥
Xu Rongjing sat beside him upright, although Luo Yan didn't show it on the surface, he laughed at him eight hundred times in his heart.
Luo Yan turned around and said, "Boss, here's a full banquet!"
"okay."
Xu Rongjing watched as the boss brought up portions of breakfast, filling the table in front of him.
Luo Yan pushed his empty bean curd bowl aside: "It's all yours, you can eat whatever you like."
Xu Rongjing actually didn't want to eat it, but his stomach growled uncontrollably. He took out a pair of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick holder, took a bite of the deep-fried dough stick.
If you eat this once in your life, you won't die.
Luo Yan looked at his unwillingness to see death as home, turned his head to the other side, and secretly laughed a few times.
Luo Yan moistened her throat: "That's not how fried dough sticks are eaten."
Xu Rongjing couldn't wait to grit his teeth and ask, "If you don't eat like this, then how should you eat?"
Luo Yan put the soy milk bowl in front of him, pulled the fried dough sticks into pieces and put them into the soy milk bowl, "It tastes better when soaked, eat it."
Suspicious, Xu Rongjing threw the fried dough sticks on the chopsticks back into the plate, took a piece of fried dough sticks soaked in soy milk and put them in his mouth.
Luo Yan: "How is it?"
Xu Rongjing looked at him and said, "It's not bad." He quickly picked up a few pieces and stuffed them into his mouth, making his mouth bulge.
Luo Yan looked at it and smiled.
Xu Rongjing took out a piece of paper to wipe it, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and sent a WeChat message to Lu Shu: You don't need to bring me breakfast today, I ate it outside by myself.
At this point, Lu Shu will definitely not reply to him, but it will be fine as long as he informs in place.
Luo Yan then placed salted bean curds, egg cakes, meat buns, pumpkin cakes, horseshoe cakes, sesame balls, and shredded radish cakes in front of Xu Rongjing one by one. Xu Rongjing couldn't eat any more, so he put down his chopsticks: "I'm full."
"Is this enough?"
"Yeah." He probably ate three times what he usually eats today.
After Luo Yan ate all the rest of Xu Rongjing's food without saying a word, she got up, took out her phone, and went to pay the bill.
Luo Yan wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Let's go, great artist, why don't you stick around here after eating?"
Xu Rongjing: "Where are you going?"
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Everyone goes back to their respective homes, where else can they go."
Xu Rongjing was embarrassed, he thought Luo Yan was going to take him to another place.
Luo Yan looked at Xu Rongjing's face under the sun, thought for a while and said, "After eating this breakfast today, let's write off all the previous things. It's okay to make friends. After all, you gave me the paintings, right?"
Xu Rongjing snorted coldly, but refused to admit it: "I didn't draw it."
After saying this, he turned around and got into his ostentatious SUV. He drove the car next to Luo Yan, "Shall I give you a ride?"
Luo Yan pointed to the hospital ahead: "I have something to do in the hospital."
Xu Rongjing: "My girlfriend had a miscarriage? Or did my wife give birth?"
With his hands in his trouser pockets, Luo Yan felt that this person was in need of cleaning up: "My mother is hospitalized."
Xu Rongjing said "Oh", "Let's go."
Then he stepped on the accelerator, and it disappeared after a burst of dust.
Luo Yan shook his head, he was an idiot again today, looking for trouble for nothing.
Xu Rongjing first went home and put the changed clothes into the basket, the servant auntie would wash them when she saw it, and then packed a few new sets of clothes to take with her.
He opened the refrigerator. There were fresh cherries in the refrigerator, which had been washed and placed in a crisper. He took them out, lay on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and ate.
He ate too much greasy food in the morning, and he had to press it down.
This was the first time he had eaten at a roadside stall since he had lived for 28 years. The breakfast he had eaten since he was a child was either made by his aunt at home, or bought for him by Lu Shu in a high-end restaurant.
Knowing that it was his first time to eat a roadside stall, Luo Yan's expression just now was mocking him, right?
He gets angry just thinking about it.
The phone rang, Xu Rongjing took out the phone from his trouser pocket, looked at the caller ID, he turned on the speakerphone and answered, "Mom."
"Rong Rong, how have you been recently?"
"pretty good."
"Auntie said you seldom go home to sleep."
"Painting is so obsessed, I forgot the time, so I slept in the studio."
"Is the meal delicious?"
"Well, I ate, and I didn't miss a meal."
Xu Rongjing suddenly asked: "Mom, have you ever eaten at a roadside stall?"
"Street stall? No, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"It's okay, just ask."
You see, he is not the only one in the world who has never eaten a roadside stall!
Xu Rongjing chatted with his mother about trivial matters, and was about to hang up the phone, but his mother suddenly said, "Have you talked to someone recently?"
Xu Rongjing thought of Luo Yan: "No."
"Whether you like boys or girls, mom supports you, and mom wants you to be happy."
"Well, Mom, I know. If I have a partner, I will be the first to tell you."
"Okay, then mom hung up the phone."
"OK Bye Bye."
Xu Rongjing is a single-parent family. His parents divorced when he was ten years old. His mother is a pianist and toured the world. Later, he married a foreign conductor and settled abroad.
Xu Rongjing followed his father, his father was a photographer, he was out shooting films all year round, and he stayed at home for a few days, he grew up in this kind of life where only the nanny and auntie took care of him.
Maybe that's why he grew crooked and fell in love with men.
When he came out to his parents, her mother was taken aback, probably because she had been educated abroad for a long time, she immediately accepted it and wished him happiness.His father was even more amusing, and directly said, "As expected of his son, he has a free soul", and then hung up the phone to take pictures of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
So in this case, the only rough place is his master, who still refuses to see him.
Thinking of these elders, Xu Rongjing suddenly remembered that Luo Yan said just now that his mother was hospitalized.
After thinking for a while, he put down the fresh-keeping box in his hand, picked up his phone, and sent a WeChat message to Luo Yan.
Xu Rongjing: Give me your phone number.
Luo Yan: 189xxxxxxxx.
Xu Rongjing: OK.
Luo Yan: Why?
Xu Rongjing: I will harass you in the future.
Luo Yan: Nervous.
Xu Rongjing saved Luo Yan's phone number, then found a number in his address book, and dialed it.
In the hospital, Luo Yan was wiping her mother's hands by the hospital bed when her phone vibrated.
Looking at the unfamiliar number above, he remembered that Xu Rongjing asked him for a phone call an hour ago, so he went to the corridor to answer it: "Hello."
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Luo?"
"Yes, you are..."
"I'm here to give you flowers, and it's at the entrance of Mingyuan Hospital."
"Send flowers?"
"Yes, a gentleman who claims to be a VIP ordered it, is it convenient for you to go downstairs and get it now?"
"alright, please wait."
Luo Yan hung up the phone, VIP?Who else but Xu Rongjing.
Luo Yan went downstairs to pick up a large bouquet of lilies from the flower-giver and returned to the ward.
Lying sick, Zhang Yuefen looked at the bunch of flowers and asked, "Where did the flowers come from?"
Luo Yan: "Someone gave it to you."
Then he took off the above card and put it in front of his mother. It said-I wish my aunt a speedy recovery!
Zhang Yuefen asked kindly: "Who gave it to you?"
Luo Yan: "My friend."
"What kind of friend?"
"Mom, just ordinary friends."
Zhang Yuefen grabbed Luo Yan's hand: "You have no one around you these years. After I left, Mom was alone, quite deserted."
Luo Yan lowered his head and stirred the towel: "Yes."
Zhang Yuefen looked at the flowers with a smile and said: "Put these flowers in a vase. Mom likes them. The person who gave them must be a caring child."
"it is good."
Luo Yan went to the bathroom and poured out the water. After drying her hands, she found another glass bottle, arranged the flowers, and put them on the bedside. "Mom, I'm going out for a while."
"Well, let's go."
Luo Yan went outside the hospital, sat down on a bench in a corner, and lit a cigarette.
Then he took out his mobile phone and sent Xu Rongjing a WeChat message: Thank you for the flowers.
Xu Rongjing: Auntie, do you like it?
Luo Yan: Yes.
Xu Yongjing: Just as long as you like it.
Luo Yan hung her fingers on the keyboard for a while, and continued typing: When are you coming to the gym?
Xu Rongjing: I will come whenever you are free.
Luo Yan smiled: What?Still thinking about me?
Xu Rongjing: No, your big boss taught me personally, I have face.
Luo Yan: Okay, this Saturday.
Xu Rongjing: OK, I pay you a lot for the private education fee.
Luo Yan: Nervous.
Xu Rongjing was puzzled, what he said, Luo Yan scolded him twice for being crazy, he thought he was crazy, and even wanted to be brothers with him after rejecting him, get out, there is no pure socialist brotherhood!
Xu Rongjing opened the car door and got out of the car. Lu Shu was hovering at the door of the studio, "Mr. Xu, you are here! I forgot my keys today!"
Xu Rongjing took out the key: "The pig's brain is talking about you
