summer and roses

Cruising didn't know where to go during the lunch break, Mucha touched the jade pendant hidden under the school uniform, and walked to the dormitory with the satchel.

He didn't find the right time to return to cruising - the two were lying on their stomachs together under the shade of a tree, but Mucha didn't mean to relax at all. On the contrary, he was tense, counting the overlapping heartbeats of the two, even wanting his own name. forget.

Mucha was able to confirm at that moment that a certain kind of affection had begun to germinate, and it intensified when he found out that You Yi did not resist the intimacy of the two of them.But he still has doubts. Is this out of mutual sympathy for "the same kind"?Or do you just want to get back a lost sense of security?

If it is these two feelings, is there any connection between them and heartbeat?

And the heart is moved, can you be sure it is a young crush?

I couldn't figure it out, but Mucha went to the high jump competition that afternoon.Maybe Youyou was right, he sat there, paralyzed on the artificial turf as if he was paralyzed, looking at the sandpit not far away, Youyou really broke the school record.

He didn't go up to congratulate, watching You You, Lin Zhan, Meng and a few others whose names he couldn't name, the only remaining males in the class huddled together.Mucha touched his pockets, wanting to smoke a cigarette, but the school uniform pocket was empty except for a mobile phone and a few coins, so he had no choice but to take out the mobile phone.

Unexplainably, Mucha turned on the camera while hiding from the teacher who was watching, and hurriedly took a picture.

It wasn't until he went back to the dormitory at night to take it out to charge and watch it that he realized that this perfunctory photo was okay.

The boys huddled together spread out, and his focus was on the cruiser, who was bending over to get the school uniform jacket on the sidelines, not looking this way, leaving a back view for the camera - waist, legs, and butt.One side of the trousers is rolled up, and the other side is stacked on the upper, half-covering the LOGO on the heel.

"I seem to have this pair of shoes too." Mucha lay on the bed, zoomed in on the photo, and thought absently, "But why did he choose this color?"

Thinking this way, he turned over, got up and knocked on the bed board.

During the sports meeting, there was no roll call in the evening self-study, and I didn't want to go to the cruise, so I came back early with him.

Soon there was a response from the upper bunk: "What are you doing?" Today's cruising is really exhausted, and now I have no energy to speak, and I even omit the title, I just want to end it quickly.

Mucha: "Why did you choose the fluorescent orange one?"

You Yi seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then realized that he was talking about sneakers, and replied lazily: "My sister chose it."

Mucha said "Oh", he doesn't like to find fault with other people's aesthetics, he was just thinking about how a person like You You would choose a ostentatious color, but he couldn't explain why this color was mysteriously suitable, and learned that it was Li Yan's handwriting It's not surprising anymore.He lay back on the bed face up again, fingers unconsciously touching his neck.

Still looking at that photo, this time I changed the focus.

Mucha looked at it, his face was a little red, he lifted the quilt with a dry cough and buried himself in it.With his fingers hooked around the red rope around his neck, he sat up after thinking about it, and called the other party's name: "Cruising."

"Ah." The boy on the upper bunk replied to him, he didn't even bother to ask anything.

Mucha wanted to laugh, but he held back.He stood up, stepped barefoot on the edge of his bed, reached the upper bed to watch the cruise, and showed his head, just in time to see the other party lying on his side playing with his mobile phone, his eyelids were half drooping and very tired, and he was about to fall asleep before the lights were turned off , Mucha reached out and poked You Yi's face.

The other two roommates were not there, Lin Zhan went to the balcony to make a phone call, and Xu Wenke would not come back until the lights were turned off.

"Oh." You Yi yelled, frowning as if annoyed.

The jade pendant around his neck was taken off, Mu Xia dangled a red string in front of You Yi's eyes, and his voice raised happily: "Don't want this? Then I will accept it, anyway, we are the same age."

You Yi bounced off the bed and almost hit the wall, he snatched the jade pendant: "Don't, my mother beat me to death."

Mucha was still lying on the edge of his bed, and naturally picked up the topic: "Your mother sent it?"

"It was given in the year of birth, so she believes that." You Yi said, and put it back on his neck again, the Guanyin was still wet with Mucha's body temperature, it was blown cold by the wind and stuck to his heart, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Mucha: "My parents don't care about this."

Youyou scratched his hair, and could only talk about his own business: "They are busy, I remember at the time... the next day my mother was going to some country in Africa with a strange name, and then she remembered that she couldn't spend time with me at night On my birthday, I went in before other people’s stores closed, and chose one in a hurry.”

Mucha's Adam's apple moved slightly, and said, "Is that so, it's good."

You Yi: "Is it? I think it's okay. They have always been afraid that I will lack love and company. Every time I come back, they bring a bunch of gifts, which is very hypocritical. It's really nothing. After all, even though I didn't have much company, I have grown up so much. "

So Mucha almost laughed, he lay on his stomach covering his nose, only his eyes were bent, reflecting a little light.

You Yi was originally sitting, as if afraid of Mu Xia's hard work, he thought about it, and moved a seat inside: "Would you like to come up and sit, if you want to chat, we can talk for a while."

He speaks Mandarin with a little southern accent, but his Erhua accent is not deliberate, especially soft when talking in a low voice, which can even be described as gentle.Mucha is more respectful than obedient, put his hands on the edge of the bed, stepping up the ladder step by step, his legs dangling and swinging, without any fear of heights.

"I don't have any friends." Mucha said, You Yi looked at him as if he couldn't understand the opening remarks, "Sometimes I envy you."

You Yi muttered and lowered his head, "What is there to envy..."

Mu Xia's language is not very good, so he thought for a long while while gesticulating and said: "Well, when I was in elementary school, I could still play with other people, but later I found out... After that, I didn't dare to play with boys, because I was afraid that others would see something wrong with me and call me perverted, and I wouldn't Dare to play with girls. After so many transfers, it seems that everyone thinks that men who play with a group of girls are sissy, and I don't...you understand."

You Yi said: "Understood, so I try to make myself look 'normal'."

Mucha: "Huh?"

"Or look a bit more aggressive." You Yi laughed when he said this, "Others won't look at you more when they think you're not easy to mess with, let alone speculate on who you like and who likes you. This is Ringo and As I said, she took me to play with Lin Zhan, and unexpectedly, my circle of friends is actually not very big."

Mucha said "Oh", and said, "It's not fierce at all, it was quite fierce at first, and would stare at people."

You Yi wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth halfway, he retracted it because he was out of words, and put his hand that was trying to hammer him back to his side, supporting the bed board.After a long while, he said dejectedly, "It was Ringo who asked me at the beginning... I don't want to admit it, but she said it's okay, but she just found it a little strange. Since it's so easy for her to see through, I don't want to be discovered by others."

In the few exchanges just now, Mucha won this round, looking left and right proudly.He didn't return to the cruise, and looked over his shoulder to see a sports bracelet on the bedside, a small Iron Man keychain, and a black iPhone.

Because of strict dormitory management regulations, the beds are forced to be tidy, the clothes are dark colors, and the only sneakers that reveal their personality are also said to be chosen by others.I don’t drink alcohol, but I smoke occasionally and it tastes sweet like toffee. I’m a bit rebellious, but I’m always hovering on the verge that my parents and teachers won’t get mad.

Everything is like a normal 16-year-old boy.

He suddenly wanted to ask You Cruise if this would be too hard.

"Are you..." Mucha adjusted his wording, and said in the puzzled eyes of the other party, "It's not because you're afraid of other people's gossip, but because of other reasons?" He pointed to the pile of things behind him.

The unfinished smile froze at the corner of his mouth, because Mucha thought about this thoughtless question seriously for a while.

From far away in the corridor, there was the sound of fighting in the dormitory next door, and the footsteps were messy, mixed with the words of the housekeeper who scolded them in a low voice.Mucha lowered his head, regretting that he had asked this question, the reason why he couldn't say it was limited by his language expression, and he didn't know whether You Yi understood or not - this question was actually embarrassing.

Just when Mucha wanted to interrupt his thinking and say it's all right, You Yi suddenly pondered and said, "...Maybe."

Mucha: "You understand? My parents say that I speak strangely."

You Yi said: "It's easy to understand!"

This time, Mu Xia became poor at words, he hesitated, and heard You Yi continue to say: "It still has something to do with parents, I don't think they are here, some things should not worry them less. If it gets to parents' ears, Instead of what I said myself, what would they think? They would think that I don't trust them at all."

Mucha heard what he meant, and asked in disbelief, "Do you want to come out to your parents?"

You Yi nodded: "Sooner or later, when I meet someone I like... If he also likes me, I will tell my parents. I can't keep this secret, they will understand me."

Mucha didn't think about it, or even thought about it at all, it was too heavy for him.

"Anyway, everyone has their own ideas." You Yi said, leaning back, grabbed the pillow and leaned against his back, "I went to that kind of forum during the holidays before, and some people find unknowing women to marry and make do with for the rest of their lives... I don't think that's good."

He is a very kind person.Mucha thought suddenly, and agreed: "Yes."

You Yi couldn't continue talking, maybe the two teenagers talked about this kind of topic too deeply after all, he fell on the bed cross-legged after a while, and his head rested on Mucha's back, turning into a posture of leaning on him.

"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge." After saying this, Yu Yu began to laugh.

"When I have someone I like," Mucha said suddenly, "I'll tell you then."

Youyou moved but didn't move away from him. He shrank to the inside of the bed, but the single bed was only so wide that two teenagers who were nearly 1.8 meters tall felt cramped no matter how they sat.When Mu Xia said this, he lost the indifferent tone of the past, he said it very seriously, and didn't care whether You Yi took it to heart or not.

He actually took it to heart, and he couldn't say what the sudden emotion was, but he was a little flustered at a certain moment.

After Mu Xia finished speaking, he pushed back to the lower bunk, and You Yi lay flat on the bed.He thought about Mucha's words repeatedly, and felt that he should ask something, such as tell me why, why tell me.

When it was nearly ten o'clock, Lin Zhan finally came back from the phone call, with an unnatural expression on his face.

Mucha, who was lying on the lower bunk playing Tetris, noticed it with just one glance. He casually asked Lin Zhan, "What's wrong? Who's calling? You've been calling for 300 years."

"Ah?" Lin Zhan said dumbly. After finishing, the upper bunk poked out the head of Youyou, and he replied, "That...Qi Shanshan's. She asked me for something, we chatted for a while, and then...it's nothing. .”

A playful look appeared on Youyou's face: "Pretend, keep pretending."

Lin Zhan was annoyed, threw his schoolbag on his bed and said, "What am I pretending to be! It's not like you don't know!"

Mucha felt that the experience between the two people who had a lot of topics in common was very bad. He innocently raised his head and asked You Yi: "What's the matter? Is there something in the past between brother Zhan and the monitor that I don't know about?"

"Ex." You Yi said nonchalantly.

Mucha said "Oh" meaningfully, and Lin Zhan almost rushed to beat him.Youyou shrunk to the edge of the bed, and continued to mutter unconvinced: "Oh, it's true that you and Qi Shanshan are not clean, and she still likes you now, I can see that. Either you should make up, or if this continues affect performance."

"You know what..." Lin Zhan swallowed back the dirty words, sat at the desk and took out an exercise book, "I won't mention it."

Mucha was very interested in the embarrassment of Lin Zhan, who was usually a good guy, but he saw that the other party obviously didn't like to mention it.After thinking about who Qi Shanshan is, Mu Xia looked at You Cruise's eyes and coughed dryly: "I think the monitor is pretty good, he looks pretty, and he works hard in his studies. You are worthy of him."

Lin Zhan said, "Please forgive me, Mucha."

Satisfied with his gossip, Mucha shook his head and lay down again. He lifted his foot against the upper bed and kicked it a few times.

You Yi imitated Lin Zhan's words: "Forgive me, Mucha—"

His tail sound was very long, which sounded a bit coquettish to Mucha. He laughed, and before he could speak, he flew a book from Lin Zhan's side, and hit the male classmate on the upper bunk accurately.

That night Mu Xia laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and after a few days, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought of that scene.

Although the conversation with You Yi was fruitless and did not reach a consensus, Mucha keenly sensed that the distance between the other party and himself was closer.You Yi is far less aloof than he looks, but his emotions are still serious.

After that day, Lin Zhan started to come home late occasionally, and only returned to the dormitory when he rang the bell to lock the door. Everyone knew what he was doing.Xu Wenke is still elusive, and the pressure of studying has not diminished at all.

Mucha gradually got used to the life in No. [-] Middle School. Sometimes after listening to the class, she realized that studying is not so boring.

On weekends, he routinely goes to Yuanye Studio. Yuan is also the teacher in the studio in name, and is also responsible for teaching him sketches and sketches. Li Yan guides the practice of color.Mucha didn't need to take the bus with him anymore, he knew how to reverse the car, and he also figured out a shorter shortcut by riding a shared bicycle.

This day, when riding a bicycle through the alley, Mucha ran over a sycamore leaf. He stopped the bicycle with his long legs, and looked back at the place he had just passed—the road was empty, so he found fallen leaves season.

He came to the city at the end of summer, when even autumn was almost over.

Time flies so fast, Mucha sighed, she was still a little melancholy when she walked into the studio to say hello to Li Yan.

Unknown plants were newly planted under the flower stand in the yard of the studio. When Mu Xia waited for Li Yan to take the easel, she asked her, "Sister, what are these? Did you buy them new?"

"Rose flowers." Li Yan said with a smile, "Xiao Yi picked it. It's rare for Teacher Yuan to agree with his aesthetics."

"What color?" Mucha asked casually.

Li Yan moved the easel to the middle of the yard, straightened up and sighed before saying: "I don't know, just look at luck, Xiao Yi chose one, and I chose one. Teacher Yuan said it was pink, Xiao Yi and him Bet it's red."

Mucha sat down consciously and opened the paint tray: "He still has this kind of interest."

Li Yan: "Xiao Yi? Yes, he used to grow flowers with me when he was free, but now he is too busy in class. After all, my uncle and aunt are engaged in plant research. He has learned more about it than others."

Mu Xia was very interested in hearing it, and just about to ask a question, Li Yan suddenly turned around and looked at him with slanted eyebrows: "I have a question for you."

"Huh?" Mucha sat up straight, and couldn't help but start beating his heart - he didn't like the feeling of being looked at by Li Yan like this, the other party's eyes seemed to see through everything, teasing him, but with pride and confidence.

Li Yan turned her head to look at the rose flower that had just started to sprout: "Do you like our little Yi?"

Being stunned by her question, Mucha suddenly felt like a glow on his back, and couldn't even raise his head.He stared at his toes and didn't speak for a while, when Li Yan thought he was going to acquiesce, Mucha said: "Not sure."

Li Yan adjusted the color for him, and he didn't know who to tell it to: "Kids are all like this, if you don't know it, it's easy to miss it."

Mucha said again: "No, I just want to think about it for a while."

"Are you afraid?" Li Yan asked him.

Mucha shook her head and didn't say yes or no, instead she asked Li Yan: "Sister, are you so concerned because you are afraid that I will ruin You Yi or because he told you that he has a crush on me, so you immediately come to see my attitude?"

Li Yan was defeated by him, his expression was at a loss for a moment, then he smiled again, took a paintbrush and touched the tip of his nose: "Test me? You are too young, Xiao Yi didn't tell me anything."

Mucha: "Ah."

Li Yan stroked a strand of hair: "I saw your sketch last week, you have nothing to do with him."

He was speechless, staring at the blank drawing paper for a while, then put away his teasing expression and said, "Then you have to keep it a secret for me, and I will tell him when I think it over, maybe it will be his turn then." Fear."

"He can't." Li Yan said, handing the pen to Mucha, "Let's draw roses today."

Mucha asked suspiciously: "It hasn't bloomed yet, what are you painting?"

Li Yan's slender fingers poked his heart: "It's blooming here, you know it."

The author has something to say: I finally clicked the question
