The smile on Xian Xin's face froze for a moment.

Other students seem to be deliberately lowering their voices, but they can hear the real voices from time to time, "Wow, it's so cool." "135 points say that I haven't learned it, who believes it." "I seem to be very awesome."

Xianxin didn't seem to hear anything, just smiled, "You really know how to joke. We can discuss with each other when we have a chance."

Ni Lu looked at him and nodded.

Xianxin stood for a while, seeing that he didn't intend to say anything else, turned around and picked up her things, and walked out of the art classroom.

"Xianxin."

Ji Chen quickly followed.

"Where are you going next?"

Xianxin turned her face to look at him, and there was a glint in her slightly bent eyes, "Go home. I don't have any classes in the afternoon, and I have other exams tomorrow. I want to go back and read more. Although the exam It’s all high school content, but I haven’t studied it for a while, and I’m always confused, so I want to review it again.”

Jichen: "Then I'll take you to the school gate."

Xianxin smiled and declined: "No, I have a car and live nearby, so I don't need to send it. Jichen, you should go back and study as soon as possible. The entrance exam will have a certain impact on the future class placement, so you still have to pay attention."

So, when they reached the downstairs of the art classroom, Xianxin and Jichen parted ways.

After Xian Xin walked to a place where there were no people, she took out her mobile phone and made a call.

"Brother Cheng!"

"Well, I've finished the exam here."

"133 points."

"Well, not very happy, because it's not the best grade in the class."

"Brother Cheng, I don't want to go back. I'm too boring without you. Can I go find you? I won't bother you, right?"

"really?"

"Then I'll go there now!"

Xian Xin put down her phone, squinted her eyes with joy, and walked more and more briskly into the depths of the school.

"Ni Lu."

When the students left the classroom one after another, the art teacher left Ni Lu behind.

When the lanky student stood in front of him, the art teacher said, "You just said you never learned sketching?"

Ni Lu's hands were hanging by his legs, and the nails of his index finger unconsciously scratched the hard skin on his thumb, "Yes."

Art teacher: "But you draw well."

Ni Lu's eyes fell on his shoes, "I like drawing."

Art teacher: "Self-taught?"

Ni Lu nodded, "Yes."

Art teacher: "I saw your painting process, there are many problems in the painting method, and the steps are also wrong."

"I know, teacher." Ni Lu gently raised his eyes and looked at the art teacher, "I have read some teaching materials related to sketching before the exam, including basic and advanced ones. I have tried to follow the steps in the teaching materials. Painting, I can’t get used to it for a while. Because it’s an exam, I want to be safe, so I will draw according to my previous habits. I will try my best to get rid of these bad habits in the future.”

The art teacher was stunned.

I thought he didn't know his mistake, or knew that he would not correct it, so I thought about whether to persuade him.I never thought that this student's attitude is so good, and he is willing to change it, but he has become accustomed to the chaotic and chaotic painting style, and he can't change it for a while.

After a while, the gentle voice of the art teacher sounded again, "You said you like drawing, why didn't you take the art major?"

To be able to draw to this level only by self-study, this child has a talent in this area.

The nail-picking action that had stopped not long ago started again.

Ni Lu didn't know where his eyes fell, and he didn't answer this sentence.

I like it, so what?

The scope of job hunting for pure fine arts majors is narrow, and the employment pressure is high. It is too difficult to take this path.

Like now, it is enough to be admitted to a major that can learn painting and can be used after learning.

The teacher didn't say anything anymore, got up and took a book, and handed it to Ni Lu: "Take this textbook back and read it, it will help you improve your drawing foundation. It is worthy of recognition that you can draw by yourself. There must have been a lot of hard work behind it, but learning the basics well can save you a lot of detours on this road, and it won't be so hard."

Ni Lu took the book, opened a page, and saw a large number of handwritten notes on the yellowed pages. His fingertips trembled. He closed the book, folded his hands in front of his chest, and bowed deeply to the teacher.

Once the opening exams are over, the class time can basically follow the schedule.Ni Lu took some time, and for the first time expanded the range of wandering around the school from the campus, bought some daily necessities and school supplies, and at the same time found a job for himself.

I work in a cafeteria during the day, and a part-time job at a hot pot restaurant at night. If I have free time in between, I do some part-time jobs, handing out flyers and helping people carry errands.Take class seriously during class time, work to make money when you are not in class, and use the spare time to review and draw.Ni Lu will not let himself idle.

As a result, Ni Lu spent a very short time in the dormitory. He left around 302:[-] in the morning and would not come back until the lights were turned off at night. When he came back, he just slept. He basically had no communication with the other people in the [-] dormitory, except for Li Mi. .It was Li Mi who came together to chat with Ni Lu.

"Brother Lu, is it so late today?"

Li Mi was lying sideways on the bed, holding the bright mobile phone in one hand, and looking down with his head, he could only vaguely see a tall and thin figure by the dim light of the street lamp outside his head.

"Ah."

The lights in the dormitory had been turned off, and Ni Lu went to the desk in the dark, put down his schoolbag, took off his shoes and stepped on the floor with bare feet.Although he knew that no one else in the dormitory was asleep, he still tried to speak lightly.

Li Mi: "Didn't you say you get off work at 09:30? Why is it so late every day?"

Ni Lu: "You can't get off work until the guests have finished their visit."

Li Mi: "The business in the store is very good, isn't it?"

Ni Lu: "It's okay."

Li Mi: "Where do you work and what do you eat? Someday when you are free, Lao Xu and I will go to eat."

"Hotpot." Ni Lu unzipped his backpack, took out a few leaflets of hotpot restaurants, went to Li Mi's bedside and handed them to him, "There is an event this month, 188% discount for purchases of [-], and you can also get vouchers. Very affordable."

Hearing that it was hot pot, Li Mi sat up straight away, took the flyer and turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone to take a closer look, "It's okay, it's not far, just two stops away, Diancheng's special mushroom soup hot pot, I haven't tried it yet, it looks good eat!"

Ni Lu added: "There are spicy and non-spicy ones, you can choose."

"Then I will definitely choose the spicy one!" Li Mi's mobile phone light took a photo under the bed, "Brother Lu, are you taking a cold shower again?"

There was no hot water half an hour before the lights were turned off, and it was uncomfortable not to take a bath in this weather, so Ni Lu could only take a cold shower when he came back.

Ni Lu took out the clean clothes from the cabinet, "Well, simply wash them."

There was the sound of water in the toilet, Li Mi lay back and sent a message in the 302 dormitory group: "Brothers, let's go eat hot pot this weekend!"

Ji Pengyun: "Eat hot pot in such a hot weather? =_="

Li Mi: "Fight heat with heat! =w="

Jichen: "No, I have something to do this weekend."

Li Mi: "@许健柏老许, squeak!"

Xu Jianbai: "Squeak."

Li Mi: "=_,="

Li Mi: "Do you want to eat hot pot? I haven't eaten hot pot for almost a month. As a child born and raised in Hot Pot City, I don't feel happy without hot pot!"

Xu Jianbai: "Isn't your favorite the spicy Jiugongge? Can Diancheng Hot Pot satisfy you?"

Li Mi: "There are spicy ones!"

Ji Pengyun: "I can consider mushroom soup hot pot, but Jiugongge is fine. My chrysanthemum can't bear more."

Li Mi: "See, Old Xu, the minority obeys the majority!"

Xu Jianbai: "=_,="

Li Mi: "Whether to go or not to go or not to go or not..."

Xu Jianbai: "Go."

Li Mi: "=3="

Ji Pengyun: "=3="

Xu Jianbai: "..."

Ni Lu thought that Li Mi was just talking, but he did not expect to see him and Xu Jianbai and Ji Pengyun in the hot pot restaurant within two days.

Li Mi and the others found a table to sit down and greeted Ni Lu: "Brother Lu, recommend the special hot pot in your restaurant."

Ni Lu handed them the menu, took out a ballpoint pen from the breast pocket of his uniform, pressed the cap to pop out the nib, and wrote the date, table number and his job number on the order menu, "Now the store is promoting miscellaneous mushroom pots, and the feedback from customers is good. And the price is moderate, it is enough for the three of you to order a medium pot."

Li Mi, who was with Xu Jianbai, raised his head, "Then let's use the mushroom pot."

The other two were fine.

Ni Lu wrote "Miscellaneous mushroom pot, medium".

Ni Lu: "Ji Pengyun can't eat spicy food, should I put chili pepper in the pot of mixed mushrooms? Or add it to the hot pot seasoning?"

Ji Pengyun was a little surprised, "You know I don't eat spicy food?"

Ni Lu smiled at him, "I heard you said it before."

That is to say, Ji Pengyun and Li Mi mentioned it when they came back from eating Hunan cuisine on the first night of school, but Ni Lu listened to it and wrote it down.

Li Mi said: "Lao Ji can't eat spicy food, so I'll ask for a non-spicy one. I adjust the seasoning myself, and eat as spicy as I want."

Ni Lu is written on the order menu.

Afterwards, Li Mi and the others ordered several more hot pot dishes, more meat and less vegetables, and the three of them enjoyed everything.

The mixed mushroom pot is delicious and tender. Just drinking the soup is a kind of enjoyment, and then put the meat and vegetables in it to boil, it is so delicious that you even swallow your tongue.

Li Mi and the others also ordered three bottles of beer, one for each person, and drank while chatting. There were so many things to adapt and learn at the beginning of school, and it was rare to have such a comfortable time.

When the pot of soup was almost boiling, Ni Lu served them two small dishes of kimchi, which were crunchy, sour and refreshing, so that they could relieve the hangover.

Xu Jianbai thought it would cost money, but when he checked out, he found that Ni Lu was not written on the order menu at all.Ji Pengyun called Ni Lu and said quietly, "Did you forget to write the two dishes of kimchi?"

Ni Lu pursed his lips slightly, bent his back, and whispered, "I gave you that."

Two dishes of kimchi were not worth much, Ni Lu told the proprietress that the guests at this table were classmates from his dormitory, and they came here specially to eat hot pot, and he wanted to give them two dishes of kimchi, and the money would be deducted from their salary.When the proprietress heard it, she waved her hand, and gave it away directly.

After leaving the hotpot restaurant, Xu Jianbai hooked Li Mi's neck with his long arms, "Ni Lu is a bit bored, but he's okay."

Li Mi put his elbow on his chest, "Isn't that right, Brother Lu just doesn't talk much."

Ji Pengyun said: "When I was in high school, there was a classmate from an ordinary family in my class who was very sensitive. No matter what he said, he always felt that he was looking down on him. He was so sensitive that he would get angry every now and then. I was afraid of dealing with this kind of person. At first I thought that Ni Lu was like this too, but now I realize it's not."

Li Mi put his arms around their shoulders one by one, "We need to live in the same dormitory for five years. Only when we have a good relationship can we live comfortably!"

Xu Jianbai raised his hand to stroke his head, and scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who has a lot to do."
