distorted impression

Jiang Chengyue sat on the steps in front of the door, even a little dazed.

Originally, this was an ordinary self-introduction ppt for the start of school, but after being changed by him, Brother Lu, it seemed to have become some kind of precious artwork, and there was no trace of the original template at all.

This is the only one in the world, a unique self-introduction.

Facing the yard, Jiang Chengyue took a picture of a sunset, and emailed it to Lu Xu.

After 2 minutes and 15 seconds, a new email alert appeared on the bottom of the computer again. Lu Xu returned a picture of the sky and took a picture of a small piece of the spire of a Gothic building.

With a time difference of nearly 6 hours, two pictures of the sky with completely different styles were displayed on the laptop that Jiang Chengyue was holding.

His picture was casual and natural, and he took it with his mobile phone, without even focusing on it. Lu Xu was very particular about composition lines when taking pictures. Jiang Chengyue didn't understand the principle, but he just thought it was better than his picture.

The first-line connection brought by the cross-border mail eliminated his boredom for no reason. He accepted the picture, fearing that it would disturb Lu Xu's work, so he stopped delivering the mail.

Lu Xu, who is far away in Frankfurt, checked his mailbox countless times from afternoon to night, but found no new news. This caused him to keep a straight face when he went to the show the next day, with a high-cold aura that strangers should not get close to. , Those few Western fashion media who wanted to interview him were afraid to go forward for a long time.

During this week, Jiang Chengyue and several other members of Mengbai went to Barometer Records to record songs. The recording venue provided by the other party was well-equipped, comfortable, and the staff was technically online.The band Mengbai has gone to several performances, and has a certain degree of experience. The process of recording songs is very smooth, without any problems.

The first album contains all the original songs that Meng Plating performed in the livehouse and music festival this summer, and also specially recorded everyone's solo part, except for Jiang Chengyue, everyone has a piece of playing and singing.

Barometer Company is serious about making songs, and not long after the recording was finished, they began to design the album cover for them, using the dream plated logo that Lu Xu had drawn before.

When Jiang Chengyue got the album design plan, she immediately called the record company: "That logo can't be used directly, I have to ask first."

It's one thing to use it for band performances, but it's placed on the band's album for profit. Jiang Chengyue thinks it's necessary to ask Lu Xu for his opinion.

Designer Lu was too busy, and Jiang Chengyue felt that Lu Xu might not be able to pick him out of the many work emails he received every day, so he went around and asked Lu Nian, and got Lu Xu's foreign mobile phone number After entering the international access code and country code, he successfully dialed Lu Xu's phone——

"Hallo?"

On the other end of the overseas call was Lu Xu's familiar voice, and then he answered a sentence in German that Jiang Chengyue could not understand. It seemed that the person who answered the phone was not very emotional.

After the music festival that day, Jiang Chengyue heard Lu Xu's voice for the first time.

"Hello, Kyle." Jiang Chengyue greeted in a low voice, trying to say in the broken German that he learned from Lu Xu earlier, "Guten...Morgen! (Good morning)"

The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, then switched to Chinese: "Jiang Chengyue?"

Jiang Chengyue nodded, and after nodding, she remembered that Lu Xu couldn't see his expression, and said again: "It's me."

During the period of living with him, Lu Xu's Chinese has become very proficient, and occasionally he can even learn a few words of Sichuan dialect from him, but he suddenly felt that during the few days when Lu Xu went to Germany, his Chinese seemed to be Rusty again.

The phrase "Jiang Chengyue" made him uncomfortable.

but--

The cross-border phone calls were deducting money every minute and every second. Jiang Chengyue couldn't think about anything else, so she quickly speeded up her speech and said all the questions she wanted to ask: "Brother Lu, the band logo you drew for me earlier It’s so pretty, Barometer Records wants to print the logo directly on the back of our album, I don’t think it’s appropriate, and I want to ask your opinion directly.”

Lu Xu didn't understand: "?"

"Xiao Chengyue?" On the phone, Lu Xu's voice was joking, "Did you call specifically to let me practice Chinese listening?"

Jiang Chengyue: "..."

He was preoccupied with thinking about the phone bill, but he forgot that Lu Xu's Chinese was not good enough to hear such a fast speech.

There was no other way, he had no choice but to cut off the sentence, and then explain the matter to Lu Xu in half a sentence.

"What should I do? I can draw five or six drawings in one afternoon at that level." Lu Xu said nonchalantly, "Use it directly. You don't need to ask me about this kind of thing... No, you need to ask more." Just ask me, that's fine."

"Yeah, good!" Jiang Chengyue said, "Then I'll hang up first."

He reached out to press to hang up, when Lu Xu's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly lowered his tone: "In such a hurry? Are you busy going to rehearsal or busy meeting someone, and you just don't want to talk to me on the phone?"

Jiang Chengyue froze for a moment, her hand that was about to hang up the phone stopped.

"I don't want to talk to you, Brother Lu." He said with a good temper, "It's just that the mobile phone just reminded that the balance of the call balance is less than 20 yuan. It's expensive to talk to you like this. Come back early, and we will talk slowly in person."

Lu Xu snorted, his tone softened, but he still said firmly: "Then let's talk about another five yuan."

Jiang Chengyue gritted her teeth: "Okay."

Assistant Wang Xue, who was watching the fabrics at the fabric dealer, received an instruction from Boss Lu from Germany to charge Jiang Chengyue with 1000 yuan in phone bills.

As an assistant to a luxury brand designer, Wang Xue has top-notch execution ability. Before she can finish scolding Lu Xu in her head, she has already charged the phone bill in place.

Jiang Chengyue hung up the phone and explained the source of the logo to Barometer Records. After some discussion, the other party agreed to give Lu Xu 10% of Jiang Chengyue's album income as compensation for using the logo.

The big boss of the record company knew Lu Xu, and after watching the contract seesaw process, he couldn't laugh or cry: "If he draws, you can use it. He doesn't care about such a small amount of money at all."

"It still has to be given." Jiang Chengyue said seriously, "The meaning is different."

As soon as the voice fell, a text message came to his mobile phone, showing that a strange user reset his 1000 yuan phone bill.

Jiang Chengyue: "...?"

After the Juice Music Festival, Mengbai became a well-known band in the city, and several livehouses in surrounding cities sent invitations to them. Jiang Chengyue, as a drummer, also attracted much attention——

[Meng Pai's little drummer, at first I thought he could only look at his face, but I didn't expect him to be a powerful one. ]

[Hahaha yes, I am the drummer of Lizi Whisper. I met him once at a music festival. At that time, I saw that he was young, and I was eager to give him a few pointers. Later, when they bombed the field, I realized that his drum is At the level of a king, my face hurts. ]

[Yes, he is very stable, my brother recorded their records when he was working, and said that he has a lot of energy when he plays the drums. ]

After these few performances, Jiang Chengyue's strength was finally recognized in the local area. Bands such as Chifeng finally stopped slandering him in the group and only had a good-looking face.In addition, he has also received invitations from several local bands, saying that there is a shortage of drummers, or the level of drummers is not good enough, and he is hoped that he can assist in the performance.

Jiang Chengyue will start school in a few days. Considering that the first few days of school will be very busy, he rejected these invitations one by one and put all his energy on his band.

Jiang Chengyue applied for a personal short video account, but he didn't use it much, and only let go of one or two solo videos.Meng Zhe reminded him today that his account had more than [-] followers, and he just remembered that he still has this account.

Probably some people think that his outfits in music festivals and previous performances are very special, and they specially searched for all his outfits, so a picture of a fire on ins caught everyone's eyes .

The source of the picture is Kyle, the designer of NancyDeer.

Fans and fans who collected pictures out of curiosity took a breath——

"I'm not mistaken, designer Kyle? The little drummer I like, did you know the designer of NancyDeer?"

"I just said why Jiang Chengyue always wears Lu's clothes. This should not only be acquaintance, but also a good relationship."

Jiang Chengyue didn't know that someone was discussing him. He was originally running a program on his computer, but Lu Xu sent him an email, asking him to make a cross-country phone call. The reason was that he would spend the 1000 yuan call fee.

Jiang Chengyue turned on the hands-free, while reading the book and typing the code, he told Lu Xu what happened in the past two days: "School is about to start and I am too busy. I haven't watered a large piece of my cabbage for two days. It hurts so much."

"Can you believe it? Brother Ku and his ex-boyfriend reconciled. They reconciled for one night and broke up the next day. I always feel that they have a bag in their heads."

It was only after he finished babbling about the recent situation that he remembered the speed of speech. With Lu Xu's Chinese level, he could probably only listen to it at a low level.

The other end of the phone was silent, as if dissatisfied with his chatter.

I don't know if people are still on the phone.

Jiang Chengyue paused, lost his mind, and typed a wrong line of code.

He glanced at the mobile phone lying on the workbench guiltily, and slowed down his speech: "Brother Lu, I want to take a note, lend me a cheap pen, not expensive."

"The third drawer on the right." Lu Xu's voice came.

It turned out that Lu Xu was listening. Jiang Chengyue's mouth twitched, and she lowered her head to find a pen, but she heard Lu Xu say: "My work here is not over yet, and I have to stay for a few days."

Jiang Chengyue's fingers rested on the drawer for two seconds, suppressing the flash of disappointment in her heart, and then picked up Lu Xu's words: "...you are busy with your work, so you don't need to report to me."

He returned to the table, sat up straight, and clicked on Run.

He forgot to correct the mistake just now, and the computer ran out of a screen of garbled characters.

He frantically modified it, and when he came back to his senses, he remembered that Lu Xu hadn't made a sound for a long time, and his phone had been turned off long ago, and he didn't know what exactly Lu Xu heard.

The school's schedule is tight, and the freshmen will start military training on the second day of enrollment. After Jiang Cheng's monthly report, he hurried back to the old house to move some things to the dormitory. book for a while.

There was also a small episode at the freshman opening ceremony. According to the counselor's request, Jiang Chengyue briefly introduced herself in 3 minutes, using the ppt document that Lu Xu had corrected for him as the background. The senior of the Academy of Fine Arts asked people for his WeChat, which frightened him a lot. After asking, he found out that 12 of them were all for the ppt design, and he was thirsty for knowledge.

Lu Xu watched a show, bought some clothes, and returned to China three days early.The plane landed at the domestic airport in the morning, and the driver came to pick him up. It took just over an hour for Lu Xu to stand in the yard of the old house again.

Although he had only been away for more than a week, Lu Xu felt that the bristlegrass in front of the courtyard had grown a lot, and the flowers blooming under the glass swing seemed to have changed their posture.

The door was locked, and Jiang Chengyue was not at home.

You won't go out to play drums again, will you?

As soon as Lu Xu stepped into the door, he suddenly felt that the house seemed much more spacious.

One can of chili noodles on the island was missing, and the side of the bookcase on Jiang Chengyue was emptied.

There are 7 missing panda dolls on the windowsill.

Also, the row of gaudy and cheap ugly clothes in the closet on the second floor is about a third missing.

Obviously what was missing were some worthless things, but Lu Xu felt as if he had lost some priceless treasure, even a piece of his heart seemed to be broken, and the air began to leak.

He suddenly remembered that there was a rainy night when Jiang Chengyue left the key with him, but couldn't contact him, so he was so sleepy that he had to sleep on the swing in the yard——

What did Jiang Chengyue say at that time?

Let him stop abandoning himself, and move out after school starts, so as not to cause him any more trouble.

Lu Xu's eyes drifted from the ground to the desk calendar.

After the Juice Festival, he went out for more than a week.

It is now September 9rd, and Jiang Chengyue has already started school for 3 days.

Jiang Chengyue...has he moved away?

That day he lowered his head and wanted to kiss Jiang Chengyue's eyes. The desire in his eyes because of the alcohol that he hadn't had time to conceal, did he scare Jiang Chengyue after all.

Just after school started, Jiang Chengyue was in a hurry to move out.

Jiang Chengyue, don't want him anymore?

The weather at the end of summer is still a bit hot. When Lu Xu is away, Jiang Chengyue never takes the initiative to turn on the air conditioner. He always holds a small folding fan and fanning himself. The first thing Lu Xu does every time he comes back Just complain to him, and then turn on the air conditioner in the house.

Lu Xu didn't want to turn on the air conditioner today. He felt that the old house must be old, and the wind in the house was full of autumn wind.

Lu Xu never kept himself in a bad mood, so he called Assistant Wang on the spot.

"The house I bought in Hexi, is it ready?" Lu Xu asked, "The old house of the Lu family is really difficult to live in. There are many mosquitoes in the yard, and the structure of the house is also poor. It was originally designed for people to live in such a small area. Is it? Every time I have to go uphill for more than 500 meters before going home, why don’t I draw a design drawing when I have this time?”

"Yes, yes, yes, okay." Assistant Wang said, "It's been done over there a long time ago, and someone will come and clean it regularly."

On the second day after Lu Xu first came to this city, he bought a small villa of about 240 square meters and kept it there. He didn't intend to live in it, and he didn't bring it up until today.

Lu Xu didn't even open his suitcase. He found the picture on the table that he had placed here before his business trip. When he lowered his head, his eyes glanced at the soft ruler coiled on the corner of the table, and he saw his neatly folded coat and the mobile phone.

The phone uses face recognition, and the moment he picked it up, the screen lit up.

He has been out for so many days, and the battery is still 100%.Jiang Chengyue even remembered to charge him every day.

Lu Xu loosened his hand holding the luggage handle, and suddenly he didn't want to leave that much.

However, Jiang Chengyue's panda slippers were also missing from the shoe rack by the door, reminding him again that Jiang Chengyue started school and had already moved out.

He put his hands back on the suitcase.

but--

Few people would call his mobile phone number in China, but when the screen turned on, Lu Xu saw dozens of messages from [Bamboo Shoot].

Lu Xu was taken aback, remembering that he had told Jiang Chengyue that if he wanted to report the itinerary, he could send it to him.

He said that he would help Jiang Chengyue hold this kite line that represents social connection, so that Jiang Chengyue can go up to the clouds to meet the wind and migratory birds, but he can always return to his palm.

1 days ago

[Bamboo Shoots]: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

3 days ago

[Bamboo shoots]: Brother Lu, I'm on my way to my new school, and the outside temperature is 38 degrees, almost drying out.

5 days ago

[Bamboo shoots]: I just went out to pick up a courier package for the fourth and sixth level teaching assistants, but they said they couldn't deliver it.

Jiang Chengyue didn't care whether he would see these messages, and just sent him dozens of messages one after another.

From these few words, he pieced together a whole picture of Jiang Chengyue's life these days.Those small fragments of Jiang Chengyue's life should have been forgotten over time, but Jiang Chengyue chose to hand them over to him piece by piece.

Jiang Chengyue trusted him.

But Jiang Chengyue still wanted to move out.

Lu Xu turned his face back.

Just at this time, there was the sound of a key opening the door, but the door was unlocked and opened with a push. Jiang Chengyue rushed in a hurry and almost fell on the carpet at the door.

Both of them were stunned.

Lu Xu: "You want to move out?"

Jiang Chengyue caught sight of the suitcase Lu Xu was pushing, and half of her excitement was extinguished: "Brother Lu, do you still have to go?"

Jiang Chengyue came back from the school playground on a shared bicycle, her hair was wet with sweat, and she was still wearing the military training uniform that she hadn't changed in time. Hearing Lu Xu's question, she was stunned for two seconds.

"I'm starting school... The counselor said it's best to live in school during the military training." Jiang Chengyue lowered her head.

Lu Xu pressed his hand on the suitcase, scratching the leather handle.

"But..." Jiang Chengyue said again.

He wanted to live with Lu Xu more than the new roommate he just met.

He didn't know where this feeling of closeness came from, but he heard from Wang Xue that when Lu Xu returned to China, he didn't even have time to put down the things in his hands, so he rushed home from school.

He doesn't really want to move away.

However, Lu Xu is so busy with work, how shameless he continues to hang around here.

"But what?" Lu Xu asked him first, "Is it inconvenient to play drums at school? Or are you not used to sleeping in bed?"

Jiang Chengyue didn't speak.

Lu Xu really didn't seem to want to drive him away that much, and even gave him two good reasons to stay.

But he didn't want to use these two reasons to stay. He inexplicably felt that if he said it, he would be the first to be unhappy, as if he would lose something.

"Brother Lu, would you mind living with me for a while?" Jiang Chengyue thought for a while and said, "I quite like living with you."

The reason for not wanting to move is you.

"What am I supposed to do?" Lu Xu raised his hand, pushed his suitcase aside, and laughed at him a few words, "Stay as long as you want, no matter how much I go too far, I won't point to the door to let you move away."

"Okay." Jiang Chengyue smiled and rolled her eyes, "I just put the textbooks and some clothes in the dormitory."

"You don't have many clothes in total." Lu Xu laughed at him.

Jiang Chengyue went to take a shower and change clothes, while Lu Xu sat leisurely on the sofa on the first floor and answered Assistant Wang's call.

"Everything is ready in the house over there. You can move in now. Mr. Lu, I will ask the driver to pick you up and move there now?" Wang Xue asked.

"No, leave it alone." Lu Xu said, "I'll just ask."
