Why is first love so sweet?

As the college entrance examination approached, Sheng Yi felt that he had almost found his hand, so he put down his brush a little earlier that night.

Stretching out of the studio, he glanced at the cold curry and chicken wings on the dining table.

He had no idea when Rong Yu went home to cook, he was obviously so busy every day.

Walking to the dining table, he pinched a piece of potato in curry and put it in his mouth. It was very sweet, with tomato sauce added, which was his favorite taste.

Sheng Yi felt it was amazing, he didn't even know what kind of food he liked, but Rong Yu seemed to have communicated deeply with his stomach, and knew his preferences clearly.

Although he lost the memory of the past, someone helped him remember it.

Holding the dining table with his eyes down for a moment, Sheng Yi looked up at the clock on the wall and called Rong Yu.

"What's wrong?" Rong Yu rarely received calls from Sheng Yi, thinking that something happened to him at home.

"It's nothing, just ask my wife when she'll be home." Sheng Yi smiled lazily, flirting with the habit: "Am I going to stay alone in the empty room tonight?"

Rong Yu paused for a moment, as if he was calculating, and gave him the exact time: "Twenty past eleven."

"Let's go out for supper when you come back?" Sheng Yi sniffed pitifully, "I haven't been out of the house for almost a month. I'm going crazy. Only barbecue can cure me."

"Okay." A pleasant low chuckle came from the receiver, like a feather stretched out, making Sheng Yi's ears numb, "It's cold at night, put on more clothes, and wait for me at home."

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Yi raised his arms and cheered, and ran back upstairs to the bedroom.

It was already ten past eleven after getting dressed, and Sheng Yi tiptoed against the wall boredly at the entrance of the entrance, drooling at the thought of mutton skewers.

A little impatient to wait, Sheng Yi went out ahead of time, intending to go downstairs to pick up Rongyu's car.

The road in the villa area is very quiet, a family is having a barbecue in the yard of the opposite villa, and the smell of burnt meat is blown by the night wind.

Sheng Yi wore a hoodie and huddled in his down jacket. He didn't eat at night, and his stomach was pumped by the smell.

After waiting for 2 minutes, Sheng Yi looked left and right at the road in front of the villa.Momodou wanted to call Rong Yu, and asked him how many minutes it would be until he arrived, but he forgot his phone somewhere and didn't bring it out.

"Young man, do you live in the building opposite? I haven't seen it before." The neighbor uncle held up a handful of mutton skewers that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and called him across the courtyard door with a smile, "Come over and have something to eat together?"

"That's so embarrassing." Sheng Yi smiled shyly.

Rong Yu stopped in front of his house and called Sheng Yi in the car, but no one answered.

Rong Yu frowned, and dialed several times, but still no one answered.

He got out of the car and slammed the door, and walked home quickly.I searched all over the house but couldn't find Sheng Yiren, and finally found Sheng Yi's mobile phone on the dining table, and there was also a pair of sneakers missing in the shoe cabinet.

Rong Yu was stunned at the door for a few seconds, and when he ran out, the cashmere coat was blown by a gust of wind.

After driving around the entire villa area for a few laps, Rong Yu's lips gradually turned pale. Thinking of something, he drove the car home again and asked the neighbors who were having a barbecue.

"The guy in the blue down jacket?" The neighbor uncle saw the young man in front of him with a bad expression, and said in surprise, "He came to my place to eat something 10 minutes ago, and left again."

"Excuse me, did you see which direction he was going?" The young man's voice was hoarse.

The neighbor uncle asked his family a few words and pointed to the right direction: "It seems to be going there. Don't worry, such a big person can't get lost..."

"Thank you."

Before the words were finished, the young man had already ran out of the courtyard with the scarf in his hand.

"Sheng Yi!"

The starry sky on a winter night was clear and bright, and Rong Yu ran along the road in the biting cold wind, exhaling white mist.

"Sheng Yi!"

"Aviation—"

"Who is Hang Hang?"

Rong Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look over.

In the darkness where the street lights couldn't see, the boy sat on the bench and looked at him with a smile.

To calm down the unsteady breath, Rong Yu closed his eyes and calmed down, striding into the dark place with dim eyes.

Rong Yu's tone sounded calm, but his voice was extremely hoarse: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm going out for a walk." Sheng Yi raised his head to look at him, "I've been stuck at home for too long, so come out to get some air."

Sheng Yi didn't have the nerve to say that he was lost, it was too embarrassing.

After coming out of the neighbor's house, he forgot what he was going to do, thinking that he was out for a walk.This villa area is a bit big, and he is not familiar with this place. After walking not far, he found that the surroundings looked similar, and he couldn't find his way home at all.

Rong Yu's face was hidden in the shadow of the snow-covered pine branches, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

After a long time, a cold hand stroked Sheng Yi's cheek, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you want to eat barbecue?"

"Ah, yes." Sheng Yi finally remembered the agreement he made with Rong Yu, and suddenly said, "I'm here to pick you up, and while I was waiting for you, I even had a barbecue at the neighbor's house. Uncle roasted the kebabs really well."

"Yeah." Rong Yu's voice revealed a trace of fatigue, he wrapped the scarf in Sheng Yi's hand, and led him up, "Don't go out early next time, wait for me at home."

Sheng Yi lowered his head in embarrassment, and nodded obediently: "Got it."

Back in the car, with the lights on, Sheng Yi saw that Rong Yu's face was abnormally pale, and asked worriedly: "Xiao Yu, are you okay? Are you feeling well? Why don't we go home."

Rong Yu leaned on the driver's seat, closed his eyes tiredly: "I'm fine."

Sensing Rong Yu's undiminished tension, Sheng Yi felt that he should be scared by his disappearance.

Sheng Yi frowned in self-blame, rubbed his hands together, and leaned over to cover Rong Yu's frozen face, "I'm sorry, I won't mess around again..."

Ran.

The rest of the voice was hidden in Rong Yu's smelly coat.

"..."

Sheng Yi was held tightly in Rong Yu's arms, and the strength of his arms made his bones ache.

"Xiaoyu?"

Sensing the extremely suppressed emotions in this hug, Sheng Yi was too guilty to speak, raised his hand to comfort Rong Yu's back, "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

"It's you."

"Ok?"

"Navigation."

Rong Yu buried his head into his shoulder and neck, breathed and spoke softly: "You said that only I can call you that."

"You forgot all about it."

Going home after supper, Sheng Yi's stomach was soothed, he fell asleep on the bed with his clothes on.

Rong Yu knocked on the door with a cup of hot milk, but there was no response, and through the crack of the door, he saw a sweet sleeping person on the bed.

Rong Yu gently pushed the door open and went in, helped Sheng Yi take off his clothes and put on pajamas.

He was a little restless and wanted to hear Sheng Yi's breathing, so he sat down by the bed and stared quietly at the person on the bed.

Rong Yu didn't know that what he was recalling subtly coincided with Sheng Yi's dream at the moment.

It probably happened when I was seven or eight years old, but the picture in the dream was as clear as if it happened yesterday.

Not being rejected by Rong Yu once or twice, Sheng Yi's face became thicker and he ran to the opposite side every night.After the two families found out, they simply replaced the bed in Rongyu's room with a bigger one, and prepared an extra set of pillows and quilts.

The two boys went to the same primary school, took the same car to school every day, and played games and did homework together in Rongyu's room at night.

Although Rong Yu is still lukewarm towards Sheng Yi, Sheng Yi has already taken care of this tsundere, knowing that Rong Yu actually likes to play with him, and he will share with Rong Yu as soon as he has any good things.

But Sheng Yi has been raised by his family all the time, and he is used to being careless, so he still stepped on the thunder.

One night, he was lying on Rongyu's bed waiting boredly for Rongyu to finish using the bathroom, when by accident he was attracted by the diary on the desk.

Sheng Yi never kept a diary, so he was curious about what was written in Rong Yu's diary.

He lay on the bed, curiously opened Rong Yu's clean and tidy diary, and peeked at the secrets of his good friend with great interest.

"March [-]st, the weather is sunny. Today is still very boring, nothing new. Sheng Yi came to snatch my bed again, and he still drools when he sleeps. It's so dirty, I don't want to share a bed with him, but I can't drive him away He, he is too thick-skinned. Xiaojie sleeps better than him..."

Sheng Yi glanced at the bathroom door, gritted his teeth, turned a page and continued to read: "March [-]nd, the weather is cloudy. Today Sheng Yi has nothing to do to show hospitality, treat me to ice cream at school, and try to coax me. I I know, he just wants to copy my homework. I don’t want to lend it to him because my grades are so poor and I’m not self-motivated..."

"..." Sheng Yi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and read a few more pages.

Ever since I met him, Rong Yu's diary has nothing but complaints about him.

Sheng Yi was furious.

He was so kind to Rong Yu, this guy actually said bad things about him in his diary!

When Rong Yu came out of the shower, he saw Sheng Yi sitting on the bed turning his diary, raising his eyebrows provocatively.

Before Sheng Yi could get angry, he saw the pretty boy's expression suddenly turned cold, he walked over and snatched the diary, and pointed at the door coldly: "Get out."

For the first time, Sheng Yi was driven home by Rong Yu.

A seven or eight year old boy with a brain stalk, Sheng Yi felt that Rong Yu was just a white-eyed wolf, and decided not to play with him again.

The two inseparable good friends didn't speak for a week. They had cold wars at school and cold wars at home.

Sheng Yi's mother was quite surprised to see her son sleeping at home for a week and not clinging to his little friend.After asking the reason, Sheng Yi was given a severe lesson.

Only then did Sheng Yi realize his mistake.

The next day at school, Sheng Yi took the initiative to find Rong Yu to make up.Rong Yu is an emotionally restrained child, no matter how much Sheng Yi makes trouble with him, he is always calm and gentle.This time it was particularly difficult to coax, no matter how much Sheng Yi smiled, he ignored him.

Rong Yu is withdrawn by nature, apart from Sheng Yi, who is shameless and skinny every day, he has almost no other friends.At noon, I would rather go to the rooftop to have lunch with my lunch box alone than talk to Sheng Yi.

In the evening, Rong Yu was frowning at the desk while doing his homework, when he heard Sheng Yi calling him in the yard: "Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu!"

Sheng Yi yelled outside for about 10 minutes, Rong Yu looked up at the window and hesitated a few times, but still didn't open the window cruelly.

Tang Yun couldn't stand it anymore, and went upstairs to persuade him: "Xiaoyu, Sheng Yi came to apologize to you, you will hurt your friend's heart by doing this."

Rong Yu sighed, put down his pen and went downstairs, and asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Sheng Yi yelled until his voice was smoldering. He held the grown golden retriever and smiled flatteringly at him: "Xiaoyu, don't be angry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have peeked at your diary. I haven't read your diary these days. I didn't sleep well, can I sleep with you?"

Seeing that Rong Yu didn't speak, Sheng Yi raised his hand to promise: "I don't drool."

While speaking, he mobilized Rongyu's favorite Xiaojie: "Xiaojie, say something for me."

Xiaojie seemed to really understand, humming "woo woo", lying down at Rong Yu's feet and resting his head on his feet.

Rong Yu's brows were slightly loose, and he lowered his bushy eyelashes hesitantly, looking at some poor dogs who followed suit with their masters.

In fact, he hasn't slept well in the past few days. Although no one kicked him at night, he has to wake up several times during the night.

The starry sky at the end of summer was blazing and bright, and the boy was still carrying the little yellow schoolbag that pretended to be Xiaojie smashing his window, and took out a brand new diary from it and handed it over graciously: "Xiaoyu, I have seen your secret , I'll show you my secret too. I'm sorry, don't be angry with me."

"I don't want to read your secret." Rong Yu turned his face away with disdain.

In the middle of the night, Sheng Yi was drooling in Rong Yu's bed, and Rong Yu was lighting a lamp in front of his desk, resting his chin on Sheng Yi's diary with great interest.

The diary is obviously written in the past few days, and there are only a few temporarily scratched-out contents in it.

[September [-]th, the weather is fine.Xiaoyu still ignores me today, does he really hate me?Just because I drool in my sleep?Just because I always copy his homework?Xiaoyu is also good-looking, but he is actually narrow-minded, and I don’t know what those girls like about him...]

Rong Yu was angry and funny. At the end, he noticed that Sheng Yi had written two words in the lower right corner of the paper.

"Navigation..."

"My nickname."

Sheng Yi didn't know when he woke up, lying on the bed dangling his two calves, holding his face and smiling: "Only my mother calls me that. This is my biggest secret, you can't tell others."

Rong Yu lowered his eyes slowly, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile unconsciously, "Yeah."

At the age of 12, on a snowy winter night, Sheng Yi's mother died of stomach cancer.

The night after the funeral, Sheng Yi lay on Rong Yu's bed, crying loudly under the quilt.

Whether it's happy or sad, Sheng Yi's emotions always come quickly, and he never hides them.I am used to hiding under the quilt when I cry, as if this would make me less ashamed.

Rong Yu is not very good at comforting people, sitting on the bed in his pajamas, quietly looking at the shaking quilt ball.

A boy's sobbing voice came out from inside the quilt ball: "Xiao Yu... Only you know my secret now."

"Hmm." Rong Yu hugged his knees and lowered his eyes.

A white hand stretched out from under the quilt, grabbing Rong Yu's pajama pants, "... Only you can call me that in the future."

Rong Yu looked at the hand, hesitated for a moment, lay down, and gently hugged the boy inside through the quilt.

The heavy snow swirls in the dim light of the window, fluttering and falling, making noise quietly.

Sheng Yi huddled under the quilt, feeling the sense of security given by the youthful weight of the young man's arms.

The young man behind him called him softly: "Hanghang."

……

Sheng Yi opened his eyes suddenly, his eyelashes were still a little wet.

Because the voice in the dream was too deep, it lingered for a long time, echoing in my ears empty.

The night light in the room was on, Sheng Yi lowered his head and buried his face in his knees, pulling away his emotions from the fragments of memories he had recovered.

After a long time, Sheng Yi came over slowly, saw the pajamas on himself, and gently pulled his lips.

Sheng Yi calmed down, put on his coat, and went downstairs to the studio.

Rong Yu wrote medical papers in his room until midnight, went to the kitchen to pour water, and saw that the light in the studio was on.

The boy was wearing navy blue pajamas and a cardigan jacket.The fluffy hair on the forehead was slightly messed up, slightly blocking the focused and quiet eyes.

Sheng Yi dipped in the high-gloss color to embellish the eyes of the vivid portraits.

The person in the portrait is infused with soul by that stroke, as if he will blink in the next second.

Rong Yu recognized the person in the portrait.

A woman with a warm smile looks tenderly at the child outside the painting.

The time spent in the studio passed quickly, and it was the day of the entrance exam in a blink of an eye.

Rong Yu gave him a final check in the car.

"Admission card."

"Bring it."

"ID card."

"Have."

Rong Yu got out of the car and opened the trunk to ask him to check the test equipment: "See what's missing?"

Buckets, small benches, various types of pencils and gouaches, gouache paints, palettes, rags, washi tape, rechargeable hair dryers, paper towels, fixer...

Sheng Yi is very familiar with these things, and he can tell if they are lacking at a glance: "Almost. I will take sketching and sketching in the morning, so I don't need so much."

"Check carefully." Rong Yu pressed his head helplessly, "I can't enter the examination room to give you things."

Surrounded by high school students aged 21 or [-], Sheng Yi felt that a [-]-year-old who was taking the art college entrance examination must look strange in the eyes of the people around him.

So he was a little unsure.

In fact, only Sheng Yi himself felt strange.

Even standing with a bunch of high school students, Sheng Yi didn't look out of harmony.

He is even an eye-catching and beautiful boy in the eyes of others, and everyone is guessing which school he is.

During this period of time, Sheng Yi's physical condition has recovered a lot, he was fattened up by Rong Yu, and he has recovered to a slender body with a healthy and beautiful appearance, and he no longer looks so thin.

Sheng Yi's skin was still very fair, but it no longer looked sick, but made his handsome features more colorful.Although the color of the eyes is light, the innate bright smile in the eyes is very energetic.The whole body is shrouded in an aura of youth that is more dazzling than anyone else.

Although it was the second time to take the joint art exam, Sheng Yi was still somewhat nervous.

Sheng Yi purposely stood in front of Rong Yu to distract himself, and joked, "Xiao Yu, get in the car first, it's too dangerous here, and there are a hundred female high school students around who are interested in you."

Rong Yu glanced around, he had a bit of a cold, and he wore a mask today, so he didn't know who those girls were looking at.

Sheng Yi's gaze unintentionally lingered for a second longer on the unique-looking small bench in the hands of a girl. The girl was looking back at him, smiling generously and waving at him.

Sheng Yi thought this girl knew him, and was about to turn around to ask Rong Yu, when Rong Yu suddenly pressed the back of his head and pushed him forward on the shoulder.

His forehead rested on his broad and strong shoulders, and the faint fragrance of laundry detergent wrapped him into a strong and gentle private realm.

It was like injecting him with a tranquilizer, which instantly calmed his anxiety.

In order to build up someone's self-confidence before the exam, Rong Yu obeyed Sheng Yi's positioning of his marriage relationship for the first time.

The voice was full of affection and came from above.

"Husband, come on for the exam."
