A box of light gray blue

Back in the dormitory that night, the roommates who had been playing games all day watched Xu Huang come back with a rose and put it in a glass bottle by the window.

This bottle is a still life left behind when I was sketching before. The teachers were too lazy to open the door to return it, so they just let them take it away.

Qin Ping raised his head from the desk and saw Xu Chang carefully pouring water into the glass bottle.The bright red roses are beautiful against the slim bottle.

"Ah, why do you all receive flowers on Valentine's Day, but I am the only one who gives flowers to others!" Qin Ping groaned in dissatisfaction, "I want it, I want it..."

"Hey, Xu Yu." Peng Peng winked at him, there was also a glass bottle on the closet between him and Xiang Yong, with two roses stuck in it. "Who sent it?"

Xu Chang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who gave you yours?"

Peng Peng faltered and couldn't speak, and was slapped on the back of the head by Xiang Yong.

"Don't be distracted, go steal the tower."

"……Oh."

The dormitory was full of game sound effects, Xu Chang sighed, sat back in his seat, stared at the rose by the window in a daze.

At the fireworks show, Fu Zhongzhou walked over in such a slow manner and handed him a bouquet of bright red roses wrapped in old newspapers.

"What do you give me this for?" he asked.

"Of course it's a gift." Fu Zhongzhou smiled sheepishly, "Look, we're all celebrating the holiday together today, so of course we can't be like ordinary single dogs."

"Besides, I'd love to send you a rose too."

His eyes reflected the fireworks, flickering on and off, that kind of pure and gentle eyes controlled Xu Yu's whole body and mind.

Xu Chang pulled himself out of his memories, took out the old newspaper wrapped in roses from his pocket, unfolded it carefully, folded it again, and put it in the drawer very cherished.

He was happy and scared at the same time.He is afraid of breaking this ambiguous relationship, just like the little brother he has loved since childhood, who clings to him like Fu Zhongzhou every day, gives him gifts, even hooks fingers and hugs him.But when the manga fell out of the drawer, he realized that the ambiguity he had cherished for many years was just wishful thinking.

Fu Zhongzhou is so nice, he doesn't want this rose to be the last gift Fu Zhongzhou gives him.

Although he is a natural guy, his failure with his younger brother made him doubt his "liking".Even if there is a boy hugging him every day and saying "I like you", he will suspect that this is just relying on friends.

What's more, it's Fu Zhongzhou who is always jumping sideways on a certain boundary.

After washing up at twelve o'clock in the evening, Xu Yan lay on the bed and checked Weibo, and saw the latest news of Mrs. Xiaochuan.

[Small boat: Quickly paint a picture.Qixi Festival, what are you all doing? 】

The accompanying picture is a rose covered with thorns.

Xu Chang turned his head strangely to look at the roses placed on the window sill.The rose was leaning against the bottle alone, and the thorns on it had been repaired by the florist before it was sold.

Ah, it turns out that Mrs. Boat likes prickly ones.

He turned off the phone and threw it aside, stretching a lot.

good night.

Xu Yan very childishly blew a kiss to the window sill, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and fell asleep.

"Gossip, the monthly exam in August will be set on the 25th."

On Monday morning, when Brother Sheng announced the news, all the students in the classroom looked sluggish, but some of them were celebrating the festival sweetly, and some were staying up late in the dormitory as single dogs.

"Ah, when will Teacher Lu come back to teach us?"

"Yes, yes, when will Teacher Lu come back?"

What happened to Mr. Lu was only said to the outside world as a rescue, but everyone heard about it from various sources, and they all felt wronged for Mr. Lu when they mentioned it.

Brother Sheng was also very angry. Teacher Lu was still lying in the hospital, while Zou You was leisurely attending class in the studio next to them.But he has no evidence, and it is not easy to attack at will.

"Ms. Lu needs to recuperate," he tapped on the easel with his pointer. "If he recovers well, I believe he will be happy to take you to sketch."

When it was mentioned to go out to sketch, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Sketch? Where are you going? When?" Peng Peng was the most excited, his eyes sparkling.

"It's your favorite to play!" Brother Sheng knocked him lightly, "Secret it!"

"There are still ten days before the monthly exam." Brother Sheng paced back and forth in the studio, "Everyone, work hard, the classes downstairs are targeting us."

Xu Yu was drawing a sketch in his hand, Lou Zhuo pushed Brother Sheng while he was turning around.

"Hey, Xu Yu." Her voice was very low, she bent down and hid behind the drawing board, "You Zou didn't bother you, did you?"

"No." Xu Yu thought about it, after he came out of the hospital, he spent most of the time with Fu Zhongzhou.

Lou Zhuo frowned, "You have to be careful. Since Zou You dared to find someone to block Song Qinghan, he would definitely dare to trouble you."

"What are you afraid of, come and beat me once." Xu Yan snorted.

"It's not about fighting," Lou Zhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't let people take advantage of you. People like Zou You can do anything."

Xu Chang thought to himself what he could do, so he gave a wry smile.

"I can only hope that Zou You will not go to Fu Zhongzhou. He is so weak that he has to be surrounded and beaten." Lou Zhuo said half-jokingly.

"hope so."

After class, the "fragile" Fu Zhongzhou ran over bouncing around, holding all kinds of chocolates and lollipops in his arms.

"What are you doing..." Lou Zhuo glanced at him suspiciously, and saw him put a box of chocolates on Lou Zhuo's pencil case.

"Take it back and eat it with Song Qinghan." Fu Zhongzhou seemed to be giving gifts to the children in the kindergarten, and distributed a lot of lollipops to Lou Zhuo. "When I came this morning, the seats were full of chocolates and lollipops."

Xu Chang secretly scolded him for showing off his popularity.He glanced at the postcards and letters that couldn't fit in Fu Zhongzhou's messenger bag, and wanted to burn them all with his backhand.

"I want it too!" Peng Peng took two candies from Fu Zhongzhou, "Thank you Brother Zhou!"

Seeing that Fu Zhongzhou was about to divide the gift in half, Xu Wei still stayed by the side like a neglected child.He felt a little embarrassed, so he pretended not to see it and continued to sketch.

Peng Peng ran away after collecting the things, and Lou Zhuo went out to find Song Qinghan very tactfully.Fu Zhongzhou hugged the things in his arms and moved towards them lightly.

"Brother Xu?"

Xu Chang hummed a syllable from his nose.

"Hmm. What's the matter?"

"These are all for you." Fu Zhongzhou said, and stuffed the remaining chocolates into his schoolbag.Xu Chang's schoolbag was hanging on the back of the chair, and it was stuffed bulging by him.

"What are you doing for me? It's all sweet." Xu Yan looked at him with some displeasure.

"Here, I'll give it to you." Fu Zhongzhou was stared at fiercely by him, and pushed his glasses back a little.

Seeing that he was going to take out that set of gifts again, Xu Chang stopped immediately.If you accept it, just accept it, at worst, you will distribute it to your roommates later.

"Brother Zhou!"

Ye Zhize appeared at the door of the studio, "Going to the cafeteria for dinner?" He walked in and saw Xu Chang behind Fu Zhongzhou, "The handsome guy is coming too."

Xu Chang always felt that his tone was like that of a staff member in some romantic place, who stood up with black lines and was about to leave. "No, I'll eat instant noodles."

"Don't, don't," Ye Zhize grabbed him, and then grabbed Fu Zhongzhou, "I heard that today's cafeteria is offering hot pot, and we're going to ask our fellow diners to join us for a table."

"Eat hot pot in August? Are you poisoned by hot pot..."

"Hey, let's go, Yimei's cafeteria is very conscientious."

In mid-August, when the temperature is officially the highest, not to mention eating hot pot, even going to a place with a lot of people like the cafeteria, Xu Wei feels that he is going to pass out from the heat.

Throughout noon, he sat by the electric fan, sweating while eating.

Ye Zhize had more than a dozen meal friends in total, and everyone ordered three hot pots, as if it was Chinese New Year.

Xu Yan sat next to Fu Zhongzhou, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion. He always felt that these people would sneak a glance at him from time to time, as if they were looking at some rare specialties imported from abroad.

So he quietly told Fu Zhongzhou this idea in a very timely manner.

"Because you look good," Fu Zhongzhou praised unabashedly, "It's normal to stare at you."

Xu Chang naturally did not believe his nonsense.

After eating and drinking enough, all the meal friends dispersed under Ye Zhize's winking, leaving Fu Zhongzhou and Xu Yan behind.

"There are still four and 10 minutes for class, do you want to go back to the dormitory and sleep for a while?"

"No, I'll go to the studio to sleep." Xu Yu was about to be heated by the 38-degree heat, "Qin Ping has been snoring all the time recently, and he would wake him up with a smile when he took a nap."

"Pfft, group life is really interesting." Fu Zhongzhou thoughtfully stretched out his hand to cover him from the sun.

Xu Chang was a little embarrassed and wanted to push his hand away.Fu Zhongzhou didn't insist anymore, and ran side by side with him quickly across the basketball court and back to the teaching building.

"By the way," Xu Kui glanced at his bag, "Those postcards...you put them away."

Fu Zhongzhou was startled, "Yes."

They walked upstairs side by side, but Xu Chang was silent.When he reached the studio door, he hesitated and asked:

"Is there a girl you like?"

"No," Fu Zhongzhou replied firmly this time, "It's just a habit to put away other people's handwritten things."

"You used to be like this too? Does Xie Yan not mind?" Xu Yan couldn't help asking.

Fu Zhongzhou smiled and sighed, leaning against the wall, looking at the excellent homework posted in the corridor.

"I don't mind, I still quarreled with me about it. But I think it's a heart no matter what. Although I don't know how to associate with them, I can't bear to throw a person's sincerity and love into the trash can."

He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Am I a scumbag?"

Standing opposite him, Xu Chang suddenly understood why the boy in front of him was so attractive.In this era, things written by hand are too precious, every stroke is written with the love of the writer.

He also wrote letters in his own hand.It was a long time ago, when Mrs. Xiaochuan was still a little transparent.During the New Year, the boat was traveling in Province Y, and wanted to exchange postcards with netizens.Xu Yan drew the pattern of the postcard by himself, wrote a whole sheet of what he wanted to say, and finally posted it to a tourist hotel in Province Y.Although he did not receive a reply afterwards, he still remembers the feeling when he wrote the letter, even a few years later.

Thinking about it this way, how can a person who is so gentle and kind, who can't bear to break the love of others, not make people's hearts flutter.

"Yeah, a scumbag." Xu Yan hooked the corner of his mouth, and gave him a brainstorm before entering the studio, "But a scumbag is also very attractive, not bad, keep it up."
