summer and roses

"I think there's something wrong with cruising recently."

At the end of the big break, Lin Zhan said out of breath, took a bottle of water on Mucha's desk and unscrewed the cap: "You haven't drank it yet, give it to me for a while and then buy you a bottle after you recover."

He had just finished his exercise and was so tired that he wished he could set up a bed in the classroom and collapse.

After the beginning of winter, Yucai Middle School canceled the exercise between classes and changed it to running exercise.It sounds very novel, but in fact, the first and second graders line up around the 400-meter standard runway around the football field, while the third graders have a harder life, and there is not enough space on the playground. Can't be too fast or too slow, it looks like an idiot, and it's really torture to run down.

On the first day, Mucha tried it out of curiosity, and then he never talked about running exercises. During the big breaks, he would disappear strangely, and when everyone returned to the classroom, he would sit in his seat mysteriously again.

Either lucky S, or good-looking S, anyway, Mucha escaped so many inter-class exercises, Qi Shanshan never wrote it down in his notebook.Lin Zhan, as the monitor's underground boyfriend and key care object, was so envious that he was drooling.

When he was talking, Mu Xia was drawing a sketch with his head down, and upon hearing this, he said, "Drink whatever you want. What's wrong with the cruise?"

Lin Zhan: "Last night, you didn't know that you went to bed early. He poked me awake sneakily, and asked me with a small desk lamp, 'How to do this question'—you said, is this something normal people can do? It’s been almost two weeks since the half-term exam, so it’s not the time to be stimulated, is it? At twelve o’clock, I’ll ask you about the role of Hongshuihe cascade development!”

Mucha thought about it seriously, then asked him, "Where is the Hongshui River?"

"It's the Nanpan River, the Pearl River system that watered your childhood." Lin Zhan replied casually.

Mucha didn't refute at first, flipped through the book and protested: "My home is in the triangle area, not upstream."

"I'm sorry." Lin Zhan said, and after a long time to react, he slapped Mu Xia's desk bitterly, "Xiao Xia, where your home is is not the key, the key is that a little comrade who doesn't answer textbooks suddenly ignites. If you lose your enthusiasm for learning, I don’t think it’s possible, it’s a big problem.”

"It's pretty good." Mu Xia said, looking up and laughing, "Don't speak ill of others, the little comrade is back." Lin Zhan followed his gaze, and You Yi came in through the front door with a book under his arm. exercise book.

"What are you talking about? My intuition tells me that it's not a good word." You You put the exercise book on his desk, held the back of the seat, and immediately sat down facing the back row, "It's more strict to be honest and stricter to resist."

Lin Zhan stepped on the watermelon rind: "No, hey, Shanshan called me and left."

The instigator ran very fast, leaving an innocent Mucha behind. He smiled very calmly at the curious eyes of Youyou, and stretched out his hand to stroke Youyou's hair: "I'm praising you for studying very hard recently."

Cruise: "..."

Smoothing the goosebumps on his arms through the school uniform, You Yi said to Mucha sincerely, "Fuck you."

Mu Xia was as steady as Mount Tai, and continued to draw paper figurines: "Really, Lin Zhan said you asked him about Hongshuihe last night, why did you suddenly become interested in studying? Did you get scolded for failing the half-term exam?"

You Yi lay on his desk, and said with his tongue, "My name is Kao Zai, what's your name?"

It's been a while since the results of the half-term exam came out, You You's grades were not as bad as Mu Xia thought, he studied a little bit every day, but he was still in the middle of the class in the exam.Except for the appalling English and politics that needs to be memorized, other subjects are passable, and mathematics can even boast a good one.

On the other hand, Mucha only passed geography and English in six subjects. He didn't think so, and the teacher didn't bother to scold him.

Mucha thought for a while, then said seriously: "I mean... smashing through the Mariana Trench?"

You Yi grinned happily, showing his small white teeth, resting his chin on his forearm and looking up at him.Mucha didn't feel uncomfortable, they vaguely confirmed the relationship, but except that sometimes he teased you, it was still the same as before.

"Why, I finally found out that I'm very handsome." Mu Xia said without raising his head, put the sketch book on his right hand side, drew another paper and began to fill in the blanks.

You Yi nodded, and poked his head to see what question he was doing: "English?...Hey, why is your English so good?"

"I learned early when I was young." Mucha said calmly, and he could write cloze while chatting with him. "My parents didn't quarrel every three days before, and they would work together to torment me. I was bilingual in kindergarten, and after I returned home after primary school Memorize words, and copy every mistake ten times. Before I transferred to the second year of junior high school, my score was no less than 90—a full score of 100.”

You Yi listened intently: "What about after transferring?"

Mucha paused for a moment to fill in the blanks, and said: "City B is full of talents, far behind them, and the questions are also difficult. Besides, at that time... no one at home cared about my grades. I said I wanted to go to the Academy of Fine Arts in the future, Dad Mom says whatever you want."

The other students were still noisy, and the noise of playing badminton downstairs could be heard from far outside, but their area suddenly became quiet.

You Yi felt that he should say sorry, he stretched out his leg and kicked Mu Xia's ankle, and just about to speak to comfort him, Mu Xia snatched his lines: "It's okay, just mention it casually, I feel ashamed."

"It's not embarrassing." You Yi scratched his hair and racked his brains, "Uncle and aunt just... use it up?"

Mucha: "Ah."

You Yi: "I definitely can't stand it."

The corner of Mucha's mouth curled up, and he smiled mockingly: "Otherwise, what can I do? They don't bother me, so what right do I have to talk about? But if you can, leave as soon as you can, otherwise there will always be time bombs at home. Same."

"Then who do you want to be with?" You Yi said, as if he lost his mind, "Your father...does he want to be with his first love at that time, or he will become a stepmother. You and your mother have to go back to G city……"

Mucha glared at him: "It's out of the question."

You Yi mentioned that when he returned to G City, he felt sad for a moment, and said sullenly, "Oh."

The topic became more and more serious. When young people mentioned marriage, they always had a God's perspective, and it was not so easy to really find a solution.Fortunately, the class bell rang at this time, and You Yi said hello and turned back to the front row.

Mucha slowly tidied up the odds and ends on the table, grabbed the eraser and flipped back and forth, shaking his head helplessly.

Those words just now, such as stepmother, divorce, returning to G city, and just changing someone else, Mu Xia can smash the thick math five-three on his head on the spot.Or make it bigger and pick up the stool.

But there was only a "thud" in his heart, like two flints colliding together, and bright sparks popped out. Before they ignited, they were extinguished by the uncomfortable eyes of the cruiser - there was Wanghu water in it, Sparkling in the moonlight.

Because he likes to cruise?

Yes, I really like it. When I see him, I want to touch him, bite his ear, and kiss the scarlet mole on the back of his neck.

But Mucha thought about it quietly, but still didn't know the reason.

Good looking?Funny talk, dedicated to friends?Because he longs for the attention and care of others?A sense of security beyond the boundaries of friendship?The infinite extension of ambiguity?

...don't know, not quite.

At the right time and place, love comes too fast like a tornado.

Mucha went to the studio on weekends as usual, last time he went there he was full of anxiety, but Li Yan was not there, Yuan also gave him a sketch, told him to practice more when he had nothing to do, and just draw the scene in his mind.

Parked the shared bicycle at the entrance of the alley, Mu Xia walked all the way with a few fluffy homework papers in his notebook, pushed open the door of the studio, just about to call Teacher Yuan, a woman in a beige coat came out of the room, as if expected until he will come.

Mucha stood at the door: "Teacher Li."

"Come in." Li Yan said, took his schoolbag and put it on the stool in the courtyard, "Did You Yi send you here?"

He didn't know how to answer the question for a while, so he pretended not to hear and handed her the notebook to change the subject: "The homework that Teacher Yuan assigned me last week, just these few sheets, can you help me look at it?"

Li Yan said: "Bring it."

Ever since they met on You Yi's birthday, they were very awkward, but when it came to business, there was no such atmosphere.Li Yan quickly looked at the sketches, and asked him: "The ones you just looked at the sketches or the ones you wrote silently?"

"Writing silently." Mucha said, "Teacher Yuan said it's better to memorize it in my head, no one will take pictures for me in the exam."

The painting in Li Yan's hand was drawn in his self-study class, boys playing basketball on the playground.She frowned slightly, and after looking at it for a while, she said in Mu Xia's worried eyes: "The character's form is well handled, and the overall relationship is not bad... It's just the effect of the background, you can pay more attention next time. If you have time , and carefully study how the light and shade of the picture are expressed."

Mucha agreed: "Thank you teacher."

She flipped through a few sheets and pointed out Mu Xia's inexperienced problems one by one. After finishing the last sheet, Li Yan put all the sketches in a small clip and handed them to Mu Xia: "Go to Yuan Ye. Let's continue practicing sketching today."

"Hey." After Mu Xia agreed to go out two steps, she turned her head and shouted, "Sister."

Li Yan smiled: "Now you know how to call me sister?"

Mucha: "Thank you that day... I didn't tell You Yi's mother."

Li Yan carelessly stroked the broken hair beside her ears: "It's okay, I don't want him to come out to his parents at such a young age, although he has done his own homework, it's not that simple - you are the same, You Yu You and I are both underage, whether you are dating or flirting, you can handle it yourself, there is a limit to everything."

She speaks slowly and sometimes seems very gentle, but Mucha knows that Li Yan is much stricter than Yuan Ye.Guessing that she wanted to slap her on the sidelines for a long time, Mucha nodded, turned around and entered the studio.

Wilderness Studio only starts to officially start classes around the training camp every year. At present, there is a girl besides Mucha as an official student. She has to make up classes on weekends. She comes to the studio on normal evenings, perfectly staggered with Mucha.

Sitting under the window of his studio, Mucha has experienced the north where the heating starts in November. In his impression, the south is affectionate and gentle, and the moist fog by the river and the gloomy sky have become the most profound signs of winter.It was a rare day when the sun was shining in the sky, and the leaves of the sycamore trees were about to fall off, but the ginkgo was just beginning to turn yellow.

"We won't be able to enjoy the ginkgo until next month. Then let Teacher Li take you to the park to sketch." Yuan Ye put away the pencil and paper, stood up and stretched like a big cat.

Mucha bowed to him, took his things and left.

When he left the hospital, he glanced at the bamboo frame in the corner. The rose vines climbed higher than in autumn, and the leaves trembled, trembling fragilely in the wind, which made people feel distressed.

Someone predicted whether the roses that would grow into bright red would live until spring. Mucha didn't know how cold it was in winter here. He kept thinking about this question when he walked out of the alley, and stopped in front of the shared bicycle he had ridden to take out his mobile phone. to unlock.

"Dudu-"

The horn sounded very close, and Mucha instinctively moved to the side to hide.Just after taking a step, he remembered that he was on the side of the street, and looked up in dissatisfaction in the direction of the horn.

At the intersection of the alley and the street, Youyou rode on a small electric donkey and smiled at him.

"Where did it come from?" Mucha sat in the back seat unceremoniously, crossed his body and hung the schoolbag in front of the small e-Donkey, and patted You Cruise's back to indicate that it was ready to start.

You Yi turned the key to start the battery car: "Mine, it has been parked downstairs without charging."

Mucha asked: "You minors can drive a battery car?"

"You just obey the traffic rules." Youyou elbowed him dissatisfied, "It's enough for the car to have a license plate. I don't think it looks like a minor. The traffic police usually don't come to check if they don't commit crimes."

Mucha gave a meaningful "Oh" and said enthusiastically, "Where are you going?"

You Yi whistled: "Little Ciba."

From birthday to today's little glutinous rice cake, Mu Xia put one arm around You Yi's waist, he was wearing a thin baseball shirt with a T-shirt inside, and he was blown by the cold wind while driving.

He didn't ask why Youyou didn't say it in advance, there is no need to say something too obvious.

When passing through a traffic light, Mucha rested his chin on Youyou's shoulder, and brushed his lips against the side of his face.He heard Youyou laughed lightly, and pretended to be annoyed to tell him to sit down and not make any small movements, so he simply put both hands into the pocket of Youyou's coat, hugged him in front of him, and went to look at the backwards landscape.

The little glutinous rice cakes that make someone think so much that they don't hesitate to ask the boss for WeChat are really delicious.Auntie used a small cart to pack a huge tin can, shook it out with her hand and then cut it off, wrapped it in sesame powder, dripped a little brown sugar, it was sweet and glutinous, but not greasy, and it was very enjoyable to eat one bite at a time.

You You drove Mu Xia across several streets, and finally each of them ate four portions, otherwise they felt that they would not be able to pay back the money.

This street is full of ginkgo trees, matching some old low buildings, with black tiles and white walls among the green, yellow and yellow leaves.As the sun sets, the orange light shines on the asphalt road, and the zebra crossing is dazzling.

"It's so beautiful." Mucha sighed indistinctly with a small glutinous rice cake in her mouth.

"What?" You Yi asked him.

Holding a toothpick, Mucha pointed around the street: "Look at this composition, this color is very beautiful. Make it stronger, like Matisse."

You Yi couldn't understand, and he didn't know who that horse was, he swiftly forked a piece of glutinous rice cake from the small plastic bowl that Mu Xia was holding: "Then you can draw a picture some other day, don't you just like this ."

Mucha was inspired by what he said, he handed the small bowl to You Yi to hold it, and took out his phone to take a picture.

There was no axial symmetry, Mucha was dissatisfied, ran to the middle of the road, and yelled to be careful while cruising along the street, he waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, took several pictures quickly, and stepped back in three or two steps.This time period has not yet reached the evening rush hour, and the old street is quiet, otherwise Mu Xia's actions just now were sudden and dangerous, and something might happen.

You Yi was too lazy to reprimand him, wiped the brown sugar off his mouth, and slapped Mucha on the back of the head: "Skin!"

"At that time, I will draw you in the middle and sit on the white line in the middle of the road. Don't all young artists like to take pictures like that now? It looks cool and different." Mucha said, showing him with his mobile phone, it is obvious excited.

You Yi smiled: "Really?"

"Ah." Mucha pointed at the street, and put his arms around his shoulders, "I like it here, and you and I like it too."

As soon as this remark came out, You You stopped talking, he fixedly looked at Mu Xia's bright eyes when he mentioned the scenery and paintings, his throat tightened, and he suddenly felt that he was very unreasonable.

Although it's not a perfect day, it's still a beautiful day. He should say, "I like you too".

But he was stuck in the throat.

If he couldn't speak out, he would be unable to get over the hurdle in his heart. Even if he loved Xia to death, if he couldn't speak out, he still wouldn't be able to get out of his psychological shadow.Originated from his confusion and low self-esteem in adolescence, he likes being at a loss when he is alone.

Mucha knows better than him.

You Yi was speechless, so he had no choice but to pull Mucha into the battery car: "Let's go, find a place close to your home for dinner, and then I'll send you back—where is your home?"

Mucha said the name of the community, but You Yi couldn't understand it, so he stopped the battery car nearby and checked it with the navigation.

The parking place is very close to the residential area. At sunset and dusk, a mobile phone store in a row of stores next to it turned up the stereo very loudly.The King of Pop's song is sung in the evening wind, "Love comes too fast like a tornado, you can't escape the storm circle and you can't escape in time."

Mucha quietly listened to half of the song, and hummed along with the accompaniment.

"Mucha." You Yi called him, and the voice was not loud between the two of them, scattered in the wind, "Next time, don't go to class, let's play video games, masturbate, whatever - let's go on a date !"

A certain word was pronounced very heavily, and Mu Xia suddenly felt elated.Other people's heart flowers are flowers one by one, he is a cluster of fireworks, jumping up to the sky and exploding in the splendor of the dusk.

You Yi was driving the battery car, and quickly patted the arm holding his waist with one hand, the battery car was unstable for a moment with this movement, Mu Xia quickly motioned him to hold the handlebar: "You want to kill me! "

"Damn it, it's my first time leading someone." You You said, and was kissed behind the ear the next second.

Anyway, because of You Yi's words, Mucha was very happy for a few days.

The author has something to say: Strictly speaking, it’s still in the ambiguous period. If you like it, you like it, but you don’t know whether you should fall in love or not. Do you have similar experiences ww(.
