whatever you do

"Actually, I never thought about dying. How simple it is to die."

"I came to this strange city and started living alone. I majored in art in college, because of my interest, and I have a bit of talent. My family is not short of money. My parents hired very powerful teachers to teach me since I was a child. I."

"At first I thought life was easy, but then I realized I can do nothing but paint."

"In the first two years, I worked in a cafe during the day and drew some illustrations part-time at night. The more I drew, the more people came to me to draw, and the asking prices became higher and higher."

"I slowly saved some money, and then I wanted to open my own coffee shop."

"[Wang] was originally a flower shop, and the owner was a rich second-generation girl like me. She didn't know the sufferings of the world, and opened the shop just for fun, so the business was very poor."

"I did a portrait of her and she loved it, and she heard I wanted to open a coffee shop and sold it to me for a very low price."

"I used the rest of the money to renovate and buy equipment. In fact, this store is very young and has only been open for a year."

"Okay, the story is over."

Jiang Ze's story was very long, and Ye Shu didn't know how to respond after listening to it. His heart felt like a ball of cotton stuffed, a little blocked and a little out of breath.

"Actually, today is April 4st. I'm joking. You don't really believe it, do you?" Jiang Ze said as he saw Ye Shu's bitter face and a bad mood.

"I'm not stupid, tsk, how can you look like a rich second generation?" Ye Shu joked with him, "This shoulder-length hair, this tasteless denim, these ripped pants, if you take a With a broken bowl and a dirty sack on his back, he looks like a tramp, a tramp who has just been cleaned."

"I am also a homeless man now, and I will always have a restless heart that wants to wander far away."

Jiang Ze said with a smile, "But I didn't lie to you about one thing, one of my paintings is very valuable, so you are really ignorant."

"Well, I don't know the goods, so is it too late now?" Ye Shu didn't refute him this time. In fact, he knew that what Jiang Ze said was true, but fortunately everything was over, and he was suddenly glad that he had met this Jiang Ze.

"Don't miss this opportunity. If you miss it, it will never come again. It's too late."

"Then I can barely pay fifty cents to buy one of your masterpieces, okay?" Ye Shu asked with a smile.

Jiang Ze pretended to be thinking, and finally gritted his teeth, "Eighty cents, it can't be less, I am also a person who needs to eat."

"Deal! I'll give you a piece. You don't need to look for it." Ye Shu took out a steel coin from his bag and stuffed it into his hand.

"Then God, what kind of painting do you want?" Jiang Ze tossed the money in his hand twice.

"You artist has no temper, so easy to talk."

"I'm not an artist, I'm just a painter. The customer is God." Jiang Ze walked to the table and took out a pencil and sketch paper.

"Then you can draw whatever you want." After Ye Shu finished speaking, he sat across from him.

Jiang Ze nodded. He took out a box of colored pencils, bowed his head and began to draw.

Ye Shu only noticed that his hand was sometimes drawing quickly and sometimes slowly on the paper, but he didn't notice what gradually appeared on the paper at all.

Jiang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the painting to Ye Shu.

The first time Ye Shu saw it, he felt that one dollar was too worthwhile!

The upper part of the painting is a blue sky, and the lower part is a golden wheat field. At the junction of the sky and the wheat field, there is a red balloon floating alone.

Two boys, wearing lovers' outfits, were walking in the wheat field holding hands. Jiang Ze's drawing was very similar, so Ye Shu recognized that the two people were him and Gu Nianchen without thinking.

"Is it because you are gay, so you think everyone is." Ye Shu pointed to the two people in the painting and said.

Jiang Ze knew that he didn't mean anything malicious, and he didn't care what Ye Shu said, "Don't you?"

"I..., I don't know." Ye Shu's voice lowered, he really didn't know, "It's strange, but I grew up so big, I really didn't like anyone, neither boys nor girls."

"I think I should be a person who is incapable of love. Besides, I'm sure Xiaotu is not. He has a girl he likes." Ye Shu didn't notice the disappointment in his tone.

Jiang Ze raised his eyebrows, what the hell are these two kids doing, he, an outsider, can see the pink bubbles when the two interact.Are you playing a game of crushing on each other?Although it's very ambiguous and innocent, isn't that a waste of good time?

He couldn't help smiling, "Come here, little leaf, Uncle Jiang asked you a few questions."

"The first question, what would you do if Gu Nianchen had a girlfriend? Think carefully before answering me."

"I will probably smile and bless him. Although I don't want him to have a girlfriend, it's good that he likes her."

"Will you be sad?"

"Yes." Ye Shu replied, thinking of this possibility, his heart ached.

"How do you feel when you see Gu Nianchen crying?" Jiang Ze remembered that Ye Shu came to him that day and asked him why he was crying alone for no reason, with a worry he had never seen on his face.

"It will be very distressing."

"Would you hate it if he suddenly held your hand or hugged you?"

"No." Ye Shu replied without hesitation.

"Have you ever held his hand and hugged him?"

"Have."

"Okay, if you still don't understand, replace Gu Nianchen with Shi Jiayang in the question I just asked, and answer again."

Ye Shu thought for a while, when Fatty Shi made a girlfriend, he would probably only bless him and not be sad; push away.

His mind went blank for two seconds, and then he asked blankly, "So, Uncle Jiang, do I like boys?"

Jiang Ze looked at his widened eyes and gave him the final blow, "Well, and you like Gu Nianchen."

Ye Shu was completely stunned, there was only one thought in his mind now, I like Xiaotu! I actually fell in love with my brother!Today is 4.1, God must have played a huge joke on him.

"Look at this painting, do you hate it or like it?" Jiang Ze's words pulled him back.

"I like it, I like it very much." Ye Shu said blankly. When he saw this painting, he couldn't help laughing.

"That's it, I did a good job today." Jiang Ze took a sip of coffee leisurely.

Ye Shu frowned even deeper, "But Xiaotu can't possibly like me."

"Ahem——" Jiang Ze choked on the coffee when he heard his words.

"What gave you such an illusion?" He asked Ye Shu after recovering.

"He has a girl he likes."

"Have you ever met someone Gu Nianchen likes?"

"No."

"Then how do you know he likes a girl?"

Ye Shu couldn't answer, Gu Nianchen didn't seem to have said that he liked girls, Ye Shu's heart suddenly jumped when he thought of this possibility.

Jiang Ze knew the answer by seeing his reaction.

"Even if the person he likes is not a girl or me, he said that I don't know that person." Ye Shu said disappointedly.

"What if he lied?"

"Why did he lie? Xiaotu can't lie to me." Ye Shu shook his head, but it was undeniable that his heart was beating faster and faster.

"Because I don't want you to know. He doesn't want to trouble you until he's not sure if you like him." Jiang Ze looked at Ye Shu and said seriously, "Do you know why he came to work here?"

Ye Shu raised his head, "Why?"

"I didn't intend to have him at first. He said he didn't want salary or drink coffee because he wanted to stay with you. At that time, he made me feel very distressed."

Ye Shu was silent for a while after listening, and suddenly he had the urge to cry, "Why is he so stupid?"

"At least he is very lucky, at least you also fell in love with him." Jiang Ze said with a smile, no wonder so many people like to match up with others, and seeing lovers get married, they can also feel happiness.

"Yeah, luckily I like him too." Ye Shu said in a low voice.

He suddenly thought of Gu Nianchen saying that he didn't want to make himself suffer, he didn't want to make himself sad, he thought of Gu Nianchen hugging himself tightly and crying, he thought of him saying that he was the light of his life, he thought of him saying that he was cute.

There was a burst of colic in his heart, mixed with soreness, throbbing, and imperceptible satisfaction and shyness, Ye Shu only felt that there was something ready to come out.

It turns out that those inadvertent heartaches and heartbeats planted a seed called "like" in my heart long before my own reason, and now it finally breaks out of the ground, and instantly grows into a standing tree, dancing wantonly The branch expresses its displeasure, laughing at its master's stupidity.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

"You're welcome, just pay more for my painting next time." Jiang Ze said with a smile.

"Yes, I will add [-] cents to you next time!" Ye Shu showed a big smile.

"Let's get off work, go find your little soil, and don't forget to treat me to a wedding candy." Jiang Ze waved his hand.

"Please eat until your teeth get cavities, hahaha." After saying that, Ye Shu took off his employee uniform and left.

He ran back to school, he knew where Gu Nianchen was in class, he suddenly wanted to see him, and wanted to tell him that Ye Shu liked Gu Nianchen.

When Ye Shu arrived at school, it was [-]:[-], and Gu Nianchen finished class at [-]:[-].

He stood at the door of the classroom, his heart was about to jump out.

He was thinking about how he should tell Gu Nianchen, whether this confession was too informal, and before he could come up with an answer, the familiar bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Ye Shu looked at the students coming out of the classroom, but he didn't see Gu Nianchen, he was a little anxious, just when he wanted to enter the classroom to have a look, someone patted his shoulder from behind.

He turned around abruptly, and saw Gu Nianchen standing in front of him.

"Why are you here, are you here to pick me up?" Gu Nianchen naturally took his arm and walked out.

"Well, I thought you were gone." Ye Shu looked at so many people coming and going around, and suppressed the impulse in his heart.

"I came out from the back door, so you can't see me from the front door." Gu Nianchen explained.

"Yeah, I'm stupid, I should stand in the middle and look at both sides." Ye Shu broke his arm from Gu Nianchen's hand, and then held his hand.

Gu Nianchen's hand trembled, but he quickly held it back.

Ye Shu felt like a flower was blooming in his heart, he had held hands with him many times, why didn't he notice it?

"Didn't you go to work? Why did you come back so early?" Gu Nianchen asked.

"Well, I'm back when I have something to do." Ye Shu paused and said, "Uncle Jiang told me his story. It can be written as a bloody novel. I will tell you when I have time."

"Yeah." Gu Nianchen nodded.

"Aren't you going to ask me something?" Ye Shu said excitedly and nervously.

"What's the matter?" Gu Nianchen asked cooperatively.

"I suddenly found that I fell in love with someone, and I want to come back and confess to him." Ye Shu noticed that after he said this, Gu Nianchen's hand shook, and then seemed to break free from his hand, Ye Shu hurriedly Hold it firmly.

Gu Nianchen looked at him with a puzzled look.

At this time they had already reached the downstairs of the dormitory, Ye Shu thought that the two silly children in the dormitory must be there, so he dragged Gu Nianchen to Xiyuan.

Gu Nianchen let him drag him along along the way, his head was empty, he felt that his state was like a walking dead.

Sure enough, there was no one in Xi Yuan, Ye Shu was very satisfied.

He let go of Gu Nianchen's hand, supported his shoulders with both hands, stared at Gu Nianchen's eyes seriously and affectionately, "Xiaotu, I like you."

No matter how many affectionate words you think about, the last thing you say is a simple and true "I like you."

When Gu Nianchen heard his words, tears flowed out involuntarily, this must be his auditory hallucination.

Seeing him crying, Ye Shu panicked. Was he too reckless? He stretched out his hand to wipe Gu Nianchen's tears, but didn't wipe much.

He simply stopped wiping, and hugged Gu Nianchen in his arms, hugging him tightly.

"It's okay, I'm here, I'll always be here." He said softly, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

When Gu Nianchen recovered, he pushed Ye Shu away.

"You said that you would never make such jokes again. Today is 4.1. I allow you to make one last time."

When Ye Shu heard Gu Nianchen say this, he suddenly wanted to give his past self a hammer.

"I'm not joking, really, I promise." Ye Shu said helplessly, he remembered that he had just made a joke about Gu Nianchen in the morning, this guarantee is not very credible.

"I don't believe it." Gu Nianchen said this lightly, then turned and left, he couldn't stand this kind of stimulation anymore.

The author has something to say: In fact, my original setting is that the two of them will have a crush on each other for a while, but suddenly I feel very distressed, so I should hurry up and get together, and spread sugar openly!

Uncle Jiang is really the biggest assist, reward him with chicken legs!

Sweet warning in the next chapter, very sweet~
