what is your vision

After the misunderstanding in the New Year's Day album, neither Lu Yunchu nor Zhou Yanchuan talked about it again, as if the past estrangement never happened.

However, to Lu Yunchu's surprise, on a Sunday in early March, Zhou Yanchuan took the initiative to ask him.

"What do you want me to draw?"

"Well," Zhou Yanchuan nodded embarrassingly, "Didn't you draw me? I want to save one. I don't have anything else besides Chen Mingxuan's drawing for me during previous events. It's quite interesting."

It is not a strange request to want to keep personal portraits, although Lu Yunchu did not take out the picture album again during this period.

And now he has a new idea.

"How about I draw you a new one?" he said, "Those are too casual, you come to be a model, and I will draw it again."

Zhou Yanchuan was willing in his heart, but he was afraid that it would take up too much of his time, so he asked hesitantly, "Will it be too troublesome? Do you have time?"

"Okay, I'm fine today, do you want pencil drawing, or watercolor?"

"A pencil will do."

"also."

Lu Yunchu asked him to choose a pose he liked, but Zhou Yanchuan had no idea how to pose it. Finally, he sat on his sofa casually, leaning his elbows on the armrests, trying to appear relaxed.

Lu Yunchu was sitting on his side, facing the balcony. This angle of view was against the light, but it did not affect his ability to capture Zhou Yanchuan's detailed expression.Instead of using a drawing book, he clipped a large-sized sketch paper on the drawing board.

With just a few strokes, he outlined the sofa in the background and the balcony half covered by gauze curtains. He focused on the figures in the foreground. The drawing was not slow, but it was indeed much more detailed than the previous ones. After completion, he handed over to Zhou Yanchuan.

Flowing lines create a vivid image, even if it is a very realistic style, it is much more vivid than the effect of photos.

Painting wasted time, so Zhou Yanchuan left Lu Yunchu to have lunch at his home.

They lived opposite each other, and after careful calculation, there were quite a few cases of partnering in either family.The cooking styles of the two are different. Lu Yunchu has high requirements for shapes and pays attention to delicacy; Zhou Yanchuan moves quickly and is not too particular, but the taste is as he said, not inferior to the other party. Today at noon, he also cooked three dishes with ease. a soup.

Although they have cross-border thoughts, their daily chats are still irrelevant, but the types of topics are much wider than in the past.

They chatted about interesting recipes, special restaurants, work experience, and contacts between friends... Even if they couldn't get on the channel occasionally, no one showed a bored look.

Later, Zhou Yanchuan mentioned that he had attended a friend's wedding last month.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lu Yunchu felt a hint of envy from his tone, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "All your friends have married?"

"Mostly." Zhou Yanchuan didn't realize the private element in the topic.

Have you met someone with feelings?Lu Yunchu wanted to ask this question, but he didn't dare.He thought of the lady sitting next to Zhou Yanchuan at the Lantern Festival dinner.

If Zhou Yanchuan had someone he cared about, they would only go further and further apart in the future.He can play the role of a good friend in front of the single Zhou Yanchuan, but he can't guarantee that he will still be open and frank when facing his lover.

When he hesitated whether to continue to test, Zhou Yanchuan asked back: "Have you never thought about falling in love again?"

"No," Lu Yunchu blurted out, and he didn't feel relaxed at all when he heard Zhou Yanchuan throwing such a question, "Why do you care about such things?"

"Just ask." Lu Yunchu didn't know that Zhou Yanchuan was as nervous as him, and he was covering it up guiltily, "If you want to look for it, I can also help you find out if there is... a suitable person."

"No," his voice sank, "I can't fall in love with others."

"Why?" Zhou Yanchuan asked in surprise.

"I have someone I like."

If friends like Ning Ruowei or Bai Shan gossiped to help him connect, Lu Yunchu would at most just laugh it off, but from Zhou Yanchuan's mouth, no matter what he heard, it was very harsh.Maybe it was just an unintentional expression of enthusiasm, but it still made him unhappy.

But one thing he didn't understand was that Zhou Yanchuan had never had the habit of acting as the old man and meddling in other people's private affairs.

As for Zhou Yanchuan, he was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information and his mind was buzzing.

If Lu Yunchu showed a slight longing for love, Zhou Yanchuan might suggest in a joking tone, "How about you try it with me?"

Even if he is rejected, he can still prevaricate with "We are both bachelors anyway, it doesn't matter if we try" and continue to be friends with him.

But Lu Yunchu said that there is someone he likes, and it is impossible to fall in love with others.He was stunned by this unexpected situation, and then wilted.

"You, when did you have someone you like?"

"It's been a while."

After Lu Yunchu answered, Zhou Yanchuan immediately asked again: "Do I know you?"

Why ask so many questions... Lu Yunchu murmured in his heart.

Has it been discovered again?It shouldn't be, why did I find myself thinking about painting after I found out.

He slightly hooked his lips: "Why do you care about this?"

Zhou Yanchuan's breathing was stagnant, and his brain was running rapidly.Lu Yunchu was obviously shifting his gaze.

If it's someone he doesn't know, it's over if he directly denies it, why bother to keep it secret?Then it's someone you know.

I knew him and liked him for a while... By the way, he couldn't be referring to Chen Mingxuan, right?

Lu Yunchu knew Chen Mingxuan many years ago, but the first time he asked him to ride a horse, he talked about this topic, and he didn't say that he had someone he liked, but now he suddenly changed his mind. Could it be that the reunion at the Lantern Festival party brought back the old feelings?Zhou Yanchuan thought his reasoning was impeccable.

"Did you tell him?"

"I'm not going to tell him," Lu Yunchu stared at him and said, "He doesn't like men."

Zhou Yanchuan swallowed his saliva nervously.

Isn't that right, Chen Mingxuan is married, if he likes this person, he can only rot in his stomach.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to worry about the love he couldn't see, or whether he felt sorry for Lu Yunchu who fell in love with a married straight man. The two of them could be regarded as difficult brothers.

"Don't be sad," he tried to comfort the other party. "In the future, you will definitely meet someone who is destined. In fact, you can see more and don't—"

"Didn't you also say that?" Lu Yunchu had a premonition that he was going to say something he didn't like to hear, and interrupted abruptly, "We have to talk when we feel comfortable, don't worry about me."

"Oh." Zhou Yanchuan lowered his head, the good atmosphere was gone, and he was in a bad mood.

On the next Monday, when eating in the cafeteria at noon, Zhou Yanchuan's back seat was occupied by two unfamiliar female employees.

There are too many people in the company, it is impossible for him to remember everyone; and those two people seem not to realize that the boss of the group is at a table not far from them, and Zhou Yanchuan often eats in the lobby, and other people who have noticed have become Get used to it, don't be surprised.

The two girls talked without any scruples, and Zhou Yanchuan could hear some of what they were saying.

They were probably very good friends. After talking about work and life, they talked about their ex-boyfriend.One of the girls was filled with righteous indignation, talking about how boys don't know how to be considerate, and that they don't know where to find a good boyfriend.

Another girl said: "If you haven't left the singles by the age of 35... why don't we just live together."

"Really?" said the girl who complained before, "I'm afraid you will find me annoying."

……

Zhou Yanchuan didn't dare to take a breath, and was slightly confused: How can others talk about homosexuality so casually?

Or is it just a tacit joke?

Although now he also has plans to live with the same sex, but can he tease and test Lu Yunchu without any scruples?

I'm afraid not.

Knowing that the other party has his own heart, he was afraid of irritating Lu Yunchu with any ambiguous words.He doesn't want the other party to be sad even more than whether he is frustrated or not.

At least until his obsession with Chen Mingxuan is not so strong.

After Zhou Yanchuan finished his lunch, his assistant called and asked him when he was going to leave, as he planned to meet a client in the afternoon.

"Well... okay, there's time."

After he pressed the phone, he looked up again, and the two employees who were chatting vigorously just now stood in front of him, with embarrassed expressions: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now."

Zhou Yanchuan guessed that they had realized that he had heard the conversation, and he was afraid that they would mind, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, don't be too nervous during the rest time."

The girls nodded and left holding each other's arms, still looking like sisters.

He smiled and stood up, ready to go to the afternoon appointment with the driver and assistant.
