One by one

Yu Yiben was not called Yu Yi, but he had a very complicated name before he was ten years old.

When he was ten years old, his parents divorced. After Yu Yi transferred to a key elementary school in the city, he happened to meet a head teacher who liked to punish students for copying his name.

Yu day after day clamored to change his name for no other reason. His name, which was composed of dense horizontal strokes and vertical strokes, was enough to just copy it once.

He does not mean that.

So on a sunny afternoon, his mother took him to change his name and surname along the way.She thought that since the child was awarded to her, it should naturally follow her surname.

By changing the initials, the name follows Yu Yi's meaning, simple and simple.

When Mama Yu was young, she was so beautiful that she was known as a poppies.In Yu Yi's generation, he still inherited his mother's appearance, looking like a handsome embryo.

Growing up is even more incredible, living among thousands of flowers, only sticking to the leaves, not to the flowers.

Right now, Yu Yi is lying on the sofa with his long legs folded, reading magazines with gusto.His pupils looked almost transparent in the sunlight, and his eyelashes cast a small shadow.At this moment, he should be quiet and leisurely, but he looks a little disturbed.

If he had a choice, he really didn't want to do this kind of thing——

"Now, take off your clothes," the man said.

This kind of-

"Then turn around."

Yu put down the magazine expressionlessly, took off the only robe on his body, and turned around naked.

The sun cast a deep shadow under his shoulder blades, and at the same time the shutter sounded continuously.

"That's right, turn around a little bit and give me a profile." The man raised his head from behind the camera and pushed his glasses.

Yu Yi persisted in this position for 2 minutes before it died.He has been filming for a whole morning, posing in all kinds of unimaginable poses, his back is sore, his shoulders and neck are stiff.

"I said, can you take a break? My neck may be broken." Yu Yi said with a smile.

"How could the neck be broken? Didn't we just rest an hour ago?" The man muttered and stood up from behind the tripod.

"But we've been filming for a whole morning! One morning! Four hours!" The smile on Yu Yi's face finally couldn't hold back, and he flew into a rage without any transition, "Isn't it expected to be finished in three hours?"

Qi Shengying frowned: "I didn't expect you to be so photogenic."

"Can you speak like 'I didn't expect this question to be so difficult'?" Yu Yi raised the robe on the ground with his foot to cover his body, "I see that the boss you introduced to me last time was really reliable. Pu will return your favors, not even a dime of money, don't squeeze my labor."

"Yes, what Poppy said is right!" Qi Shengying put away the camera, "This may be the last time I shoot film, it's called the Golden Basin Washing Roll! It's called the Golden Roll, do you understand? Just be content with it."

"What's the matter, can't play with the film?"

Qi Shengying said with a smile: "That's not true. After all, I don't specialize in film photography. It's what artists do. The studio will officially start next month. I don't have so much free time. Besides, I still like digital colors. .”

Yu Yi was lying on the sofa, the midday sun made him drowsy, and he murmured absently.

"You're going to get married one day, remember to come to my studio to take pictures." Qi Shengying put on her coat and joked again as if reminding her.

This time Yu Yi almost gave a cut in disdain, turned over and fell asleep completely.

After that, Qi Shengying seemed to ramble on to him again, which sounded distant and vague.Yu Yi fell asleep.

In the afternoon sun, Yu Yi had many bizarre and varied dreams.He dreamed of the homeroom teacher who often punished him for writing his name when he was a child, the sound of radio broadcasting across the playground, and the misty winter at six or seven o'clock in the morning.

Those are all too far away.

Not only is the memory far away, but it is also a life that he cannot touch at all.

His cultural achievements in his youth were really not good, and his personality at that time was also very different from what it is now.Closed, refuse group activities.Rather than participating in the laughter on the basketball court in the afternoon, he prefers to hide alone in the music classroom and play the piano.At that time, his mother was no longer around.

The sudden weightlessness of his body made Yu Yi suddenly dazed and woke up.

He actually fell asleep on the sofa without knowing it, and slept all afternoon.Yu Yi sat up and stretched his waist. The satin robe slid down to his waist, just covering the area between his legs, making the waistline tight and smooth.

Then slowly, he heard footsteps and the sound of doors closing.

From the end of the hallway in the room, in the direction of the darkroom.

Yu Yi thought that the old man Qi Shengying hadn't left yet, and was a little puzzled.He just woke up, and his whole body looked dazed and soft.Yu Yi and Qi Shengying have been friends for many years, and brothers who have been in the same bathhouse, so they just put on their robes and walked towards the darkroom like a bird walking.

This photography studio is privately owned by Qi Shengying, and it is said that it was transferred to him by a friend of his back then.Others would never be able to get in without the key, so even if Yu Yi called Qi Shengying's name a few times but there was no response, he was not suspected.

The darkroom is at the end of the corridor, and there are two connected rooms.Yu Yi pushed open a door that was ajar, but saw no one, so he went to push another door.Unexpectedly, as soon as he leaned in, he was suddenly pulled forward, and almost fell headlong!

Immediately afterwards, the other party hurriedly slapped the door panel, and shut the door tightly with a bang, making Yu Yi tremble in fright.

It was dark in the room, not even a ray of light.If Yu himself hadn't come here, it would be hard to feel that such a dark place really existed.He had seen this room before, it was not big, but at this moment he was in the darkness where he could not see his fingers, but the boundary of the space seemed to disappear.No, in this complete darkness, it was as if space no longer existed and time stood still.

The unprecedented feeling made Yu Yi feel fresh, but the rough treatment just now made him a little annoyed.

"What the hell are you doing? Why don't you say anything?"

In the darkness, no one spoke for a long while, Yu Yi felt his back in the darkness.At this moment, not far from him, it seemed that a voice finally came from the direction of the door just now: "I am not Qi Shengying."

then who are you?Yu Yi asked instantly in his heart.Immediately afterwards, another instinctive fear took over his emotions.

"I'm here to develop the film, Qi Shengying should have told you." The other party said again, "You fell asleep when I came."

"He didn't tell me that someone would come to develop the film." Yu picked up the phone and was about to call Qi Shengying.

A hand suddenly pressed him accurately: "No, there is no light here. Didn't you see the Do Not Disturb sign on the door just now?"

"How do I know, you didn't lock the door again." Yu Yi was a little annoyed, always feeling that the other party was blaming him, "Let me out."

"The lock here is broken. Normally, I should lock it. I just pried off the film cover when you came in. You can't go out or open your phone until you're done."

Just as Yu Yi was about to speak, the other party said again: "I heard that you are all in these volumes."

Yu Yi fell silent.

Depending on the situation, the man in the room should be Qi Shengying's friend, or he was invited to help develop his films.And the films to be developed are the ones taken this morning.The other party obviously knew about it in advance, so it is not a suspicious person from this point of view.

However, if someone really came to develop the film, why would Qi Shengying let him sleep naked on the sofa without even talking to him from the ward?

I had a vague impression that Qi Shengying whispered something in my ear before going to sleep, maybe I fell asleep so fast at that time that I didn't hear Qi Shengying's words.

After figuring this out, Yu Yi survived for the time being.Although this dilapidated place is only a few square meters in size and you can't see your fingers, since the film in the opened roll was taken by me, no matter what, it's the hard work of me and Qi Shengying all morning, so I shouldn't ruin it by playing petty temper at this time.

"Are you really here to develop the film? Why doesn't Qi Shengying do it by himself."

"I don't know." The other party seemed to have moved from the door, and there was a small sound of metal friction and collision in the darkness, "Twelve volumes, fortunately, only the first volume was opened just now."

Yu Yi knew what he meant, and he didn't know if the glimmer of light that came in would affect the first volume that was opened.

"Are you his student?" Yu Yi had nothing to do, and the surroundings were dark again. He looked around with wide eyes, as if he was very new to this wonderful feeling.

"No." The man said briefly.

"friend?"

"That's it."

Hearing the other party's perfunctory, Yu Yi didn't bother to ask any more questions.

After a while, he became curious again: "I can't see anything clearly in this house. How do you develop and project the film? Do your photographers have owl eyes, or do they have night vision goggles? What, isn’t there a bit of red and purple light in the darkroom?”

The other party didn't answer. Yu Yi thought that he might have been surprised by him, and was about to make amends, but he heard him say: "The small darkroom is only limited to taking out the film and rolling it on the roll rack. The steps of developing the film can be done outside. Get out soon."

Yu Yi became interested, he didn't pay attention to everything about this person just now in the chaos.Now that I have calmed down and listened again, the man's voice was deep and magnetic, very pleasant to the ear.From the very beginning, Yu Yi had never seen the appearance of a man, so his voice seemed to have a unique sense of vision in the dark.

This is a very "hard" man.Yu thought.

He has a tall stature, but he is silent but never introverted and comfortable. His appearance should be more angular than that of ordinary men.And when he is focused, he sounds indifferent to everything in the outside world - he should have a pair of indifferent eyes.

"Can you teach me?" Yu Yixiao asked, "I want to learn too, especially I want to develop my own negatives once."

"Developing films is tiring and nothing interesting." The man replied.

Yu Yi wrapped his robes, and rubbed his hand against his lips: "It's okay, it's better than doing nothing. By the way, what's your name?"

"Luo Lian." The man said.

Sure enough, it was as expected, and it gave people a tough feeling like the voice.

"Aren't you curious about who I am?" Yu Yi asked again.

"Yu Yi." The man replied, "I've heard your name several times."

"Oh?" Yu Yi was completely interested, "What have you heard, tell me?"

"Are you still learning?" Luo Lian said suddenly, "Come here."

It was an unintentional remark, but Yu Yi didn't expect that Luo Lian was really willing to teach him, so he smiled and walked towards the direction of the voice.It's just that I walked several steps in a row, but I couldn't find where the man was.He couldn't help scolding his mother: "Where are you? I can't even tell where you are!"

"Here." Luo Lian spoke again, and it sounded right in front of him on the left.

Yu Yi took a step forward, but his feet were suddenly caught by something, and he fell forward suddenly!

A hand stretched out diagonally and caught him accurately.But before Yu Yi could stand still, he withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded.

Luo Lian's voice could be heard in the darkness as he frowned slightly: "Why aren't you wearing clothes?"
