A box of light gray blue

One week before the monthly exam, Xu Yu redoubled his efforts to paint, spending an average of ten hours a day in the studio.At first, he was a little worried that Fu Zhongzhou would be troubled by Zou You, but later he found that Ye Zhize's group was like a group of little boys every day, hugging him and leaving after school.

Fu Zhongzhou invited Xu Wei twice, but was rejected.However, when he drew past eleven o'clock in the evening, Fu Zhongzhou would come back with a box of supper without anyone noticing.

His night snacks are never the same, fried noodles, skewers, fried chicken, and milk tea.Although it is not very healthy, it is indeed an indispensable fuel for staying up late and working overtime.

Sometimes Xu Chang would stare at the supper in his hand and worry.

"Are you making me fat on purpose?"

"Don't worry, I'll get fat with you." Fu Zhongzhou smiled and took a bite himself, "I have several friends who are like this, and the training camp has skyrocketed by [-] pounds. Do you want to try it?"

"Shut up. Take it back and eat it yourself."

Sometimes Fu Zhongzhou didn't bring him supper, but Xu Chang could still see him from a distance on the way back to the dormitory.

When he walked past the basketball court, he could see a group of people sitting beside the vending machine from a distance, and Fu Zhongzhou was sitting among them.Sometimes he was smoking, and other times he was lying on the barbed wire and listening to their chat.

The night before the monthly exam, Xu Yu undoubtedly suffered from insomnia.One is that Qin Ping's snoring is too loud, and the other is that he has no idea.

He has recently entered a bottleneck period, and it feels particularly wrong to draw anything.After grouping up and sharing the same table with Lou Zhuo, he involuntarily tried to learn Lou Zhuo's painting techniques, but failed to learn them secretly, and even forgot his original one.

Many students said that they like his painting style, that his gray tones are beautiful, they like his rich sketches, and they praise his head portraits for their strong contrast.Only Xu Yu knew that the gray tone of the color could not attract the eyes of the marking teacher, the thick sketches looked dirty, and the contrast of the head portrait was too strong and unreal.

In contrast, he prefers Fu Zhongzhou's painting style, which is soft and real, controlling all subtle contrasts to a very small range, and at the same time can summarize the characteristics of things with a few strokes.

Why just can't learn it.

The more Xu Yan thought about it, the more he got into the corner, so he opened the class WeChat group and searched for Fu Zhongzhou's paintings.

As he was rummaging, a message came.

[Fu Zhongzhou: Haven't slept yet? 】

Xu Chang's back felt cold, and he turned back only to realize that he had accidentally "patted" Fu Zhongzhou.

【Xu Chang: ... You didn't sleep either.what are you doing. 】

[Fu Zhongzhou: Hmm... thinking of you. 】

This string of texts was thrown on Xu Yu's heart like a thunderbolt. He snapped his phone, and couldn't help but think of the feeling of Fu Zhongzhou's hand wandering over his face that night in the hospital.

On the other side, Fu Zhongzhou, who was lying on the bed in the same posture, was also staring at the phone, his heart beating like a drum.

Since the last time he quietly touched Xu Yu in the hospital, his energy has been divided by more than half by Xu Yu, and he can't even concentrate on painting.

If it wasn't for the fear of frightening the other party by confessing directly, he would have been unable to hold back.However, every time Xu Chang's attitude fluctuated between hot and cold, which made him completely elusive.

I went to sleep, I gave flowers, I ate chocolate, why didn't I pry the tip of the iceberg?

He put his phone by the bed and waited for more than ten minutes without receiving a reply.

Until the next day, when the two were assigned to the same examination room, Xu Yu didn't say a word to him.

The sketch test in the morning stumped a large number of students. This time, the question was the head of an old man with gray hair. Many students who were used to drawing black hair had no way to start, and the drawings they handed in were all gray.

Xu Chang sat in front of Fu Zhongzhou on the left, drawing very steadily throughout the process.

Finally passed the exam in the morning, Fu Zhongzhou just wanted to get up to find Xu Wei, but saw him running away in a hurry.

Is this hiding from him?

Fu Zhongzhou was so angry that he took out his mobile phone to call those cronies.

[Fu: Why can't I catch up with Xu Yan?Wait online, hurry up! ! 】

【Ye: Is Brother Fu in love with your brain?I've been thinking about this all day, and I can't help but confess. 】

As soon as Ye Zhize said this, everyone below agreed.

【Ye: Isn't your birthday coming up? Let's create an opportunity to confess. 】

Fu Zhongzhou's birthday is at the end of August, which is the day after tomorrow.In previous years, on his birthdays, he was forced to attend the birthday party Xie Yan gave him, and finally went home to eat a cake with his grandfather. This year without Xie Yan, he naturally forgot about it.

After careful calculation, it was indeed a good opportunity.All afternoon, his mind was on this, and by the end of the painting, the story in his mind had fast-forwarded to the two being together.Fu Zhongzhou was immersed in the plots he had made up in his own brain, completely unaware of how broken the color of the picture he was painting.

Until handing in the test papers, I ran into Xu Wei.

Xu Yu happened to finish his painting too, so he took his own painting and dried it with a hair dryer.He turned his head and saw the painting in Fu Zhongzhou's hand, his mouth reacted faster than his brain.

"Are you done painting?"

His voice was not loud, but the classmates next to him looked at Fu Zhongzhou in unison.

"Ah, the painting is finished." Fu Zhongzhou's eyes were dazed, and he didn't react at all.

Xu Chang realized that he had said something wrong, so he stopped immediately.

After handing in the drawing and leaving the examination room, Fu Zhongzhou chased after him with the painting bag on his back.Xu Chang glanced at him and asked tentatively, "You didn't play well today?"

"Well, maybe." Fu Zhongzhou didn't care too much, "It's okay, it's normal to draw badly occasionally."

"Don't bring me supper next time," Xu Wei felt a little guilty, "running around to waste time."

"Then invite me to dinner today," Fu Zhongzhou smiled, opened the takeaway interface on his phone and handed it to Xu Wei, "I've wanted to eat this shredded chicken for a long time."

Xu Chang glanced at him, feeling his bright smile hit his heart.

"Next time, I have evening class today, so I can only treat you to the cafeteria."

"It's also okay."

So the two first put the painting tools back to studio 505, went to the cafeteria to grab a meal and went back to the dormitory to eat.

"Watching a movie while having dinner is already the highest treatment." Xu Yan went upstairs with a box of lunch and passed a row of boys waiting for boiled noodles, "Is there any movie you want to watch?"

"It's all right," Fu Zhongzhou followed behind him, "I'll watch whatever you want."

Xu Yu was taking out his room card to open the door, but found that the door of the dormitory was ajar.He frowned slightly, opened the door and went in, only to find that his roommates were not in the dormitory.

"Why don't you close the door..." He complained softly, turned on the light, and pulled out Qin Ping's chair for Fu Zhongzhou to sit on.

"Sit down for a while, I'll get the iapd and play a movie."

Just after the monthly exam, everyone's nerves were temporarily relaxed.Fu Zhongzhou sat on the chair very obediently, holding a lunch box to watch Xu Yu busy.

Xu Chang originally wanted to find any popular sci-fi movie to watch, but he paused for a while when he slid his finger over a movie.

It was a newly released foreign gay movie. Although it was deleted, edited and modified a lot before it was introduced, the implicit and passionate relationship between the two male protagonists still cannot be deleted.

He hesitated again and again, and clicked in.

Fu Zhongzhou obviously didn't know what kind of movie this was. He was holding the lunch box in a daze, pawing at the food like a hamster eating, and still staring at the titles that kept flashing on the screen.

"which movie is this?"

"Hmm...a literary film."

The two sat at the table, staring at the screen on the tablet.

Xu Yan lowered his head to eat, and kept looking at Fu Zhongzhou, trying to catch a change in his expression.

The story is about two boys who fell in love with each other from high school to college together, and separated under various pressures after entering the society.When the two met again in the end, they were both gray-haired old men.They want to fall in love again, but find that their love for each other has long since been wiped out by reality.

At the end of the film, the old man walked into the cemetery tremblingly, and put a kiss on the monument of his former lover.

The story is clichéd, but emotionally powerful.Xu Yu knew the plot direction before watching it, so when the two met for the first time, he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the final ending.

They only turned on a desk lamp, and sat in the dormitory at dusk, watching the male protagonist in the movie silently peeking at his classmates on the playground.That warm and secretive mood quietly grows at this moment.

However, before Xu Yan could wait for Fu Zhongzhou to see what was going on, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Finally finished the exam...ah!" Peng Peng opened the door and came in, startled by these two guys who were quietly watching the movie, "Wow, are you trying to scare me to death! Why don't you turn on the light."

He whimpered and turned on the light, and all the beautiful moods just now were broken.

Xu Chang stared at him coldly for a while, then unnaturally turned down the sound of the movie.Fu Zhongzhou didn't notice anything wrong, but happily shook the lunch box in his hand. "Xu Yu treats you, do you want to watch a movie together?"

"Wow, handsome guys are treated well." Peng Peng cast a sour glance at the screen, "I've seen this movie, so I won't disturb the world of the two of you."

Before Xu Yan could refute, he heard Peng Peng exclaim.

"Hey! Where's the love letter I put in the drawer!"

Hearing the word "love letter", Fu Zhongzhou and Xu Yu turned their heads to look at him at the same time, and stopped watching the movie.Xu Chang wanted to gossip at first, but when he turned around and saw Peng Peng propped his hands on the table with an uncomfortable expression, he immediately stopped talking.

"The door of the dormitory was not closed when we came back, and your drawer... seems to have been open all the time." Fu Zhongzhou comforted softly, "Don't worry, did you leave too quickly and put it somewhere else, you can look for it. "

Peng Peng cried out in anxiety, "Impossible, I've kept it here..." He started flipping through the pile of sketches on the table as he spoke, "Don't lose them..."

Xu Yan was also in no mood to continue watching the movie.He turned off the tablet, put down the lunch box and came over to help him find it. "Do you want to help? Maybe you fell out when you took the painting materials in the morning."

"No, no, no." Peng Peng quickly waved his hand, and continued to search for things on the table, but couldn't help but shed tears.

Ever since he got to know Fu Zhongzhou, Xu Chang had no problem seeing boys shed tears.Fu Zhongzhou winked at him from behind, motioning for him to appease Peng Peng.

Xu Chang patted him on the back, "No hurry, no hurry," he thought about his words, "Eh...they have caught up, so can I write another love letter."

The two comforted the anxious Peng Peng for a long time, and when they saw that Xiang Yong had returned, they immediately told Xiang Yong about it.

Peng Peng looked at him tearfully, as if seeing a savior.

Xu Chang and Fu Zhongzhou stood aside, eager to see how his childhood sweetheart Xiang Yong comforted him, but Xiang Yong silently opened his hands and hugged him into his arms.

"Sorry, I'll take him out to cry for a while."

Xu Wei was stunned by this wave of operations. He watched the door being closed, and Xiang Yong's voice came from behind the door.

"Okay, okay, I'll write you another letter later..."

"It's okay to write one a day, don't cry, treasure..."

The corner of Xu Yan's mouth twitched, feeling that these two people were more useful than watching a movie.

He glanced sideways at Fu Zhongzhou, and found that he seemed to be out of hearing, and continued to bury his head in his food, and asked him why he didn't show the movie.
