summer and roses

It's another April day, and the results of individual admissions from various colleges and universities for art examinations come out one after another, some are happy and some are sad.

Mucha's four fine arts colleges' professional test scores are quite high, and his joint entrance examination scores are ranked in the top 20 in the province. At present, the only thorny thing is the college entrance examination in June.Among the students of Yuan Ye Studio, Li Shu was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in City B, Guan Yunji's score also fulfilled his dream of going to City G, and most of the others got a not-so-satisfactory result.

So the professional course training came to an end temporarily, and when Mucha returned to school to start the final sprint with You Yi, there were only seventy days left before the college entrance examination.He never imagined that one day he would be able to study so hard.

"The schools you applied to are all top-notch schools in China, and the requirements for cultural courses are not low, at least higher than the second line. I know, Mucha, this is very difficult for you. You have studied hard...but if you fight to the death, you will feel very uncomfortable if you fall at this time." When Li Yan said this to him, his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

Mucha understands the truth, but it is really painful for him to study.

In the small garden next to the teaching building, crabapple flowers were in full bloom, and the petals of the blooming Yae cherry blossoms fell all over the ground after the rain.At the position by the window, Mucha was sitting, resting his chin on the outside and staring out in a daze.

On the podium, Lucky Cat was tirelessly talking about the two-mode test paper that he just finished the day before. The difficulty was too high, and most of the students failed the exam.He was jumping up and down with passion, pointing to someone to answer questions from time to time, which made everyone highly nervous.

"Muchia." Lucky Cat patted the desk, "Did you choose the right question?"

The young man whose name was called shook his shoulders, and he came back to his senses in an instant. He didn't get up, but lazily leaned on the table, raised his eyelids and asked, "Which question?"

He is used to the casual attitude of Lucky Cat, and repeated: "68 questions."

Mucha: "That's right, choose C if you are indecisive."

The whole class burst into laughter, and Lucky Cat's heaviness, which could not be active no matter what, seemed to leave the stage for a short time at this moment.The slightly chubby young teacher adjusted his glasses and said helplessly: "You can't be fooled in the college entrance examination, you can read as much as you can."

Mucha wanted to retort that anyone who can read should be fooled, but he didn't say anything, he gave a face-saving "um", and looked down at the test paper full of English.

It seems that it is not as hard to see as before.

Class day after day, after the irritability of putting up the countdown card at the beginning, the numbers became smaller and smaller, and both teachers and students became more and more calm, just doing questions, commenting, correcting mistakes and answering questions mechanically.

The flowers fell silently, the camphor was flourishing, and the flying catkins of the sycamore finally stopped wreaking havoc.

Another week of mock exams, Mucha stared at his passable math paper, compared for a long time with the tragic score of 50 a year ago, and patted the shoulder of the front table: "Look, isn't it a big improvement?"

"It's not bad, the average score this time is 110." You Yi showed him his test paper, "But if you want to get this score in the college entrance examination, you should not worry about the school."

Mucha made the calculations, and began to feel depressed: "I need to score at least 400 points in the exam before I can go to school in H City. It's so difficult."

You Yi: "Other schools in H City are too difficult to get into, and the better ones are Ben Yi."

The two of them sighed at the same time and fell into silence. After a while, Mucha folded the test paper and put it aside: "Forget it, let's take one step at a time. If I can solve trigonometric functions now, I am a victory."

You Yi made a "hmm" sound, turned his back and took out the almost full set of wrong questions from the drawer. Starting from the marked page, he repeatedly calculated the wrong questions many times-he studied them since junior high school. He wasn't so serious. In just one year, he unexpectedly restrained his heart, as if the prodigal son turned back and the cultist became a pillar of righteousness.

He knew in his heart that if this time he still played around and ended up doing whatever he wanted, the more than a year of getting along with Mucha would end in this summer.

This southern city is not Mucha's hometown.

After graduation, even if Mucha likes this place, she won't consider it as a family.

Unless he and Mucha have been together for ten or twenty years, he can become Mucha's concern.

Youyou doesn't want to mention his thoughts to anyone, other people might persuade him to have fun in time, saying that he thinks too much.His personality is extremely selfish, and he has changed a lot recently, but he still can't get rid of the selfishness in his bones.

Both he and Mucha are easy-to-change but very stubborn people, so they attract each other and rely on each other. Once they fall apart, neither of them will take the initiative to hold each other's hand——

So they don't fight.

"What are you thinking about?" Mucha said suddenly, interrupting You Yi's thoughtful expression.

"In a daze." He said simply, "Is there something wrong?"

Mucha didn't take his mind-wandering seriously, he wandered around in a daze more often, and sometimes he couldn't tell what he was thinking when he asked more questions.With this beginning, he said naturally: "After a while... probably on May [-]st holiday, accompany me to Cheng Xiaolu's place. I made an appointment with her for a tattoo last time."

You You couldn't help looking at his pierced ears, the silver fish-shaped earrings were always worn, hidden in the long broken hair.Maybe the teacher noticed it, but at the last moment, no one reminded Mucha to pick it up.Later, Mucha also bought other earrings, the simplest one is a diamond, and some complicated patterns, but he still wears this fish most often.

Youyou raised his hand and rubbed his earlobe: "Oh, tattoo."

Mu Xia raised his eyebrows, looked at him with his slender eyes, and there was water in them: "Want to go together?"

His eyes are like a soul-absorbing abyss, but also like a quiet bottomless lake, Youyou stared at him for a moment, his heart, which was originally troubled by "fear of pain" and other hindering factors, suddenly moved, and agreed like a ghost: "Yes. "

Mucha's expression was surprised: "Really?"

You Yi hurriedly added: "It's not in a place exposed in Xia Tian, ​​I'm afraid my mother will say it once she sees it."

He respected and feared Jian Ziwen. Mu Xia had already learned about it. After hearing this, he smiled, as if he had thought of a very interesting idea, and said, "Don't worry, I will help you pick out the patterns when the time comes, and I will also draw the patterns for you."

"What to draw?" You Yi asked.

Mucha made a fool of herself: "You will know when the time comes."

The whispers were hidden in the wind at the turn of spring and summer. After Mu Xia finished speaking, she lay down on the desk, You Yi muttered something vague and turned around to do the questions with her back bent.

He picked up the ink pen and drew a little tiger on the draft paper.After drawing two flowers, Mucha felt slightly anxious, turned over the draft book, spread out a page of paper full of patterns, and then added a few strokes in the middle of the two flowers.

After finishing all this, he secretly took out his mobile phone to take a picture, and sent the picture to Cheng Xiaolu.

After 5 minutes, I received a reply from Cheng Xiaolu: "OK, very beautiful."

The students who are about to graduate have limited time, and Mucha wanted to build a flower arm, which sounded ambitious, but when Cheng Xiaolu said that it would take at least three times to get it all done, he set back the time aggrievedly.

It rained heavily that day in Xiaoman, and a certain date called "520" rarely caused a big commotion.

Since breaking up with Qi Shanshan, Lin Zhan has devoted himself to his studies. For the first time, he participated in the "study group" of You Yi and other four people that day, and tutored Mucha in mathematics and comprehensive literature.

At this time, it was only half a month before the college entrance examination, and the No. [-] Middle School finally suspended classes, and gave all the time to the senior three students to study by themselves.The teacher moved a small table and sat in the corridor. Students with questions went out to ask questions. The head teacher talked to someone one by one, for fear of having a psychological problem at the last moment. Lucky Cat was so exhausted from tutoring that he repeatedly mocked himself that he was going to get drunk after the college entrance examination. .

Mucha had a reason to ask for leave to spend a whole day with Xie Zeyuan—although he refused to admit it, with the guidance of this foreign language student council president, his English composition went from only single digits to 15 points, which is a good fortune The cat also praised it.

It was still only one station away from the No. [-] Middle School. The sun was shining brightly during the day, and there happened to be a big tree outside the booth by the window, covering most of the glare.There are still some mottled spots on the glass table, reflecting the colorful glazed splendor.

"Look at it." Mucha handed the title of the second volume to Xie Zeyuan, and took the answer to the multiple-choice question himself.

Xie Zeyuan snapped his fingers, called the waiter to refill his cup, and watched the others go away with a smile - they only ordered a pot of the cheapest green tea very unkindly, except for the two cups they brought, the rest The next three people will give away free lemonade. The boss must see a few familiar people, otherwise he will have to find a reason to drive away the customers.

The president of the student council took a sip of the lemonade, and scanned Mucha's test paper at a glance: "Well... well, you finally used this sentence pattern correctly, and it's okay to memorize it by rote. If you encounter similar types in the exam, you can directly use it... well, The subsections are pretty good, and the ending is not bad, it should be above the average score."

Mucha was still answering the multiple-choice questions, dazzled, and casually said: "Oh."

Xie Zeyuan said: "How much was your English in the last test?"

Caught off guard by the question, Mucha looked dazed. He didn't remember the grades, but You Yi, who was struggling with Wen Zong next to him, said: "He got 120 in the exam, and Lucky Cat was shocked, and asked him if he did the original question?" .”

Xie Zeyuan smiled while applauding: "Wow, congratulations! ——Did you really achieve the original question?"

Mucha said in a daze: "Yes, I just read Chapter C last week, and I have memorized the answers, CDBA."

Lin Zhan, who was seriously doing the questions next to him, couldn't help laughing: "He is really a talent. Others memorize the template, but you memorize the answer."

"Maybe I bumped into an article in the college entrance examination, and I can get 20 points." Mucha said nonchalantly, biting the head of the mechanical pencil, the sunlight flashed through his eyes.

Lin Po tilted his head: "By the way, I heard from Sister Xiaolu that you are going to get a tattoo at her place. What kind of tattoo are you going to do?"

Mentioning a topic of interest, Mucha immediately threw the rolled paper aside, rolled up his short sleeves and made a gesture to Ringo: "From here to the middle of the forearm, the lower part may be left, so you won't be able to see it if you wear long sleeves... the pattern is my own." painted."

"So cool?" Ringo's eyes lit up, "Can I have a look?"

Just as Mu Xia was about to agree, he caught a glimpse of You Yi next to him from the corner of his eye, and his words turned a corner: "Of course... no, you can watch it after I finish. Do a little every day, and you can watch it next week." La."

Lingo: "That must be expected, right Xiaoyi?"

The person named did not change his face and said very calmly: "Well, it must be pretty."

Perhaps because there is a topic, Lin Po will mention it every hour, and his words are full of excitement, and he even wants to follow. Lin Zhan, who is afraid that his sister will also be brought to draw flowers on his body, becomes nervous.When parting, he escorted Lin Po all the way home, even ignoring Xie Zeyuan who followed behind wagging his tail.

Watching them get on the bus, Youyou tapped his phone to hail a taxi, buried his head and said, "Brother Xiao Zhan really... don't know what to say about him."

Mucha spread her hands: "You can do whatever you want, they have a special aura among the top students, and they can easily coexist peacefully."

While talking, the taxi you took also arrived at the bus stop where they were waiting, and told Cheng Xiaolu's address, Youyou leaned against the window and looked at it for a while, then sat next to Mucha, warming the protruding bones with his hands on his knees .

Inexplicably, the gossip that Lin Zhangang and Qi Shanshan said when they broke up appeared in his mind: "Not everyone is so lucky. You like me, I don't like you, you like me, I like you, but I have something more important... ..."

The back of his hand was covered by the cool palm, his eyelashes fluttered, and he suddenly asked: "Will you not come back in the future? After graduation, you must go back to City G. If your father's job is transferred again——"

"No." Mucha replied firmly, "I'll go home when you're here, and if you want to go to G City, I'll take you to the place where I grew up."

He called this place "home", and Youyou's heart warmed up, he turned his head to the side and raised the corners of his mouth in a muffled voice.

Because they made an appointment in advance, Cheng Xiaolu was waiting in the store when they arrived.In the same studio with clear light and shadow, Cheng Xiaolu was lying in the armchair, with his long legs crossed on the window sill.

Hearing the sound of the wind chime, she didn't turn her head back: "Mu Xia is here, I've seen the picture you gave that day, and I designed it for you again... Go take a bath by yourself, sweating all over."

She was very disgusted in her words, Mu Xia didn't get annoyed, she lowered her eyebrows and agreed, and pulled You Yi by her hand: "I want a boyfriend too."

Cheng Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, and put his foot down from the window sill.She turned around, looked him up and down, her eyes rested on his wrist - T-shirt sweatpants, wearing a watch, a clean-dressed boy, no different from the last time he accompanied Mucha to get his ears pierced, A year seems to have left no traces, but some inexplicable feelings have changed.

"Do you want the same?" Cheng Xiaolu got up to prepare the tools with a touch of teasing when he said this.

Mucha took out his homework book from his backpack, took out a sheet of drawing paper and handed it over: "Give him this, the location... it's on the shoulder blades."

You Yi said that it was up to him to decide, so he couldn't help being taken aback at this moment: "Hey...?"

"You promised." Mucha winked his right eye at him, and pulled his fingers flatteringly, "It must be very suitable, and it won't be exposed. Only I can see when I take off my clothes at home."

The undisguised ambiguity between the words, and... Cheng Xiaolu pursed his lips, turned his back and smiled.

The feelings of a young man are so easy to guess, they can't hide anything, even this little trick with lust is a bit cute and childish.No matter how young, the marks are so pure.

Without waiting for Youyou to answer, she suggested: "I think it's pretty good, isn't this a butterfly?"

After saying that, the dim light in the studio could not cover You You's rapidly turning red ears, which went all the way up to his neck. He covered his face for a moment, probably thinking of some secrets belonging to the two of them, and said like a mosquito: "……All right."

In front of Cheng Xiaolu, Mu Xia never concealed his relationship with You Yi, after hearing his agreement, Mu Xia put his arms around You Yi's neck, and kissed him resoundingly on the corner of his lips: "You are the best!"

Youyou pushed him: "You can talk sweet words, I won't listen next time!"

Mu Xia was urged by Cheng Xiaolu to take a bath, and ran over briskly all the way: "Fart, you are so beautiful in your heart, where can I find someone as talented as me to draw pictures for you personally—"

"Get lost!" You Yi said, standing on the spot in embarrassment.

The sound of running water in the bathroom rang, and Cheng Xiaolu and him looked at each other awkwardly. After a while, Cheng Xiaolu, who had seen enough of the shy boy, pulled out his seat and smiled treacherously: "Come on, take off your clothes, let's do yours first." .”

Cruise: "..."

He suddenly felt cheated by Mucha.

When the person in the bathroom came out wrapped in a towel and bare-chested, the drawing had already been drawn on Youyou's side.Cheng Xiaolu consciously moved the stool away, and let Mucha look at the butterfly pattern on his shoulder blades: "Is it okay?"

"Awesome." Mucha said, responding in her own words.

Cheng Xiaolu was wearing a mask, and only saw a pair of crooked eyes: "His butterfly bones are very beautiful, and you can draw wings here, and you can think of it, and he is so small... With all due respect, it's a showy operation."

Mucha did not hesitate to accept her praise: "Thank you."

He took a picture to show You You the half-finished product, and as expected, he saw the red ears again, and couldn't help leaning forward to kiss them.Cheng Xiaolu in the back was cutting the thread, and You Yue let out his first cry of pain just like that when he was swallowed.

The tattoo is not big, Cheng Xiaolu's movements are skillful and he finished it very quickly.

The skin on the back that is not exposed to the sun is fair, and the bones protrude when the back is arched, and the butterfly wings outlined by the black lines are fluttering.

Youyou can only look in the mirror. He was not originally a lover of this career, and he didn't have much of the "gift" ritual sense of tattoos like Mucha.But here and now, he took a look, willingly admitting that it was fascinating.

He moved his lips, turned around and said to Cheng Xiaolu, "Thank you, Miss Xiaolu."

"Anyway, Mucha pays." She smiled, and pointed to the stool next to him for Mucha to sit on: "It's your turn."

Compared with cruising, Mucha's arm tattoo takes a long time, and he can only do part of it on the first day, and then slowly use the gaps in self-study for the past few days to complete the rest.

There was no picture for him to show, so Youyou plugged in the earphones beside him, and gradually guessed the general idea: there was his favorite rose flower, and there was a sentence surrounded by Mucha's favorite English. Generally speaking, although it was amazing, it was still unexpected among.

But when all the work was completed, he realized that he had guessed wrong.

On that muscular and beautiful arm, the tattoo extends from the shoulder all the way to the forearm. It is not as tense as the shadowy flower arm in the photo. Mucha's tattoo pattern is more like a painting——

Spiny vines and blooming roses weave a sea of ​​fragrance, and a boat floats in the waves.

"The name of the pattern is too silly, and the abbreviation is also very silly. It suddenly occurred to me that day that your name has such a great meaning, so I came up with this pattern." Mucha pointed to it and said, "I really wanted to keep you here .”

When the voice fell, he held You Yue's hand and placed it on his chest.

A heart is beating warmly.

The author has something to say: I ask questions all the time [x

Summer and Roses = Butterflies and Roses

One more sentence about the scores of art students: because I am a cultural student in the college entrance examination, I don’t know much about it. I asked some classmates, but it’s hard to remember after a long time. If there is something unreasonable, please feel free to point it out.
