short-lived physique

The past few days have been sunny days, and as soon as the dawn broke, I could vaguely feel the heat rising.

A young man with a small bag on his back hurried into the community, turning around in the community like a headless fly, with an ugly expression on his face.

He came to this city by car overnight, and it wasn't until he got off the car that he realized that he didn't know where Xiao Mu's house lived, and it took him a long time to barely remember the approximate location.But after entering the community, he scratched his scalp and couldn't remember which building and number Xiao Mu lived in, so he could only wander around here without a clue.

After a while, sweat drenched his front, and the original crisp white shirt was wrinkled.

Shi Jiting wiped the sweat from his forehead fiercely, frowning tightly.He was panting, his mouth was so thirsty, and he couldn't stop the resentment in his heart.

There was a grocery store right next to it, Shi Jiting walked in quickly, opened the freezer, and a blast of refreshing air-conditioning greeted him.

The boss looks about 50 or [-] years old, sitting on a small wooden chair and chatting with others.She squinted to see a guest coming in, but she didn't go up to say hello, just collecting money and changing money.

Shi Jiting picked up a bottle of mineral water, and suddenly heard the word 'Xiao Mu' mentioned by the boss, and immediately stepped forward.

"Boss, do you know Xiao Mu? He lives in this community."

The boss glanced at Shi Jiting, pointed to the mineral water in his hand, and signaled him to pay first.Shi Jiting didn't show it on the surface, but he was extremely disgusted in his heart.

After paying the money, the boss lazily said:

"I know, it's a pretty poor kid, do you want to find him?"

"Yes, I work in the same studio as him. I'm his senior brother. I need to find him for some things. Do you know where he lives?"

This sentence can be regarded as asking the right person. People in the community sometimes need to buy things but don’t want to go downstairs. They just call the store owner and ask her to deliver the goods to the door. The property owner does not know as much as the store owner.

"Go along this road, turn right at the intersection and then turn right again, the one on the left on the third floor of the second building will be there."

After Shi Jiting got the reply, he hurried out and walked to the door of Xiao Mu's house as the boss said.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning, and he stood outside the door and knocked on the door a few times, but there was no movement inside the door.Shi Jiting felt that he was standing here like a fool, and the anger in his heart grew stronger.

The weather was already hot, and after driving all night, I finally found my destination but couldn't see anyone. I wasted so much time.

The more Shi Jiting thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but increase his strength in knocking on the door, until his hands were all red, and there was no sound from inside.

"Damn it!" Shi Jiting gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice. It had been a long time since such an unsatisfactory thing happened, "Xiao Mu! Are you here! Xiao Mu!"

It was quiet in there.

He took out his mobile phone irritably, and the date was written on Tuesday.

Could it be at school?

troublesome.

A simple thing that was originally good has been turned into this. Can't this little bastard stay at home?What are you running around?Is it possible that he really thinks that he can enter the United States?

Shi Jiting didn't know where Xiao Mu lived, let alone which school he was in.Filled with aggrieved anger, Shi Jiting went to the shop owner just now, asked Xiao Mu's school and his age, and angrily drove over in the car.

……

in school.

Maybe it was because of the brief communication with Xiao Mu yesterday, but today the squad leader took the initiative to come forward to chat with Xiao Mu.

The voices of other people in the class subconsciously became much lower, and they secretly glanced at Xiao Mu.

They were really curious about Xiao Mu, they wanted to know what happened during the time when he disappeared, and also wanted to know why his leg was injured, but they couldn't help but be hindered by Xiao Mu's indifference from others thousands of miles away. Dare to go up and ask him directly.

So they silently put all their sustenance on the squad leader.

The squad leader didn't know Xiao Jiujiu of the group of classmates behind him. After he went home yesterday, the picture of the angel with wings drawn by Xiao Mu always appeared in his mind from time to time.

Even when I was sleeping at night, I had a rare dream. In the dream, an angel waving holy wings and emitting golden light descended from the sky. He stretched out his hand to catch the feather that fell from the angel. The moment the feather fell to the palm of his hand, he woke up. , I felt a little lost for the first time.

After finally falling asleep again, he dreamed of that angel intermittently.Until dawn, he was haunted by a feeling of worrying about gains and losses.

With two big dark circles under his eyes, the squad leader thought about it, and finally decided to ask Xiao Mu if he could give him that painting.

Recalling Xiao Mu's violent reaction to him touching his painting before, the squad leader felt a little uncertain.

Besides, that painting seemed to be crumpled up by Xiao Mu, and I don't know if he lost it...

The squad leader swallowed back the words on his lips, quite cautiously:

"Well, Xiao Mu, is there anything you don't understand in the notes I gave you yesterday?"

The boy on the opposite side gave him an inexplicable look, and the squad leader felt uncomfortable when he looked at him, and then he remembered that Xiao Mu didn't take the notes at all yesterday.

He grinned awkwardly, racking his brains and couldn't figure out how to catch the next topic.

Fortunately, someone asked Xiao Mu to go to the office at this time, and the monitor subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The people in the class were playing and laughing, and no one seemed to pay attention here.

The squad leader frowned and cast his eyes downward.

Do you want to look for that painting while Xiao Mu is away?

Anyway, he didn't want to steal anything, nor would he mess up Xiao Mu's things.

But he has never done this kind of thing before, and it is not a good thing to touch other people's belongings without permission...

Ahhh, but he really cares about that painting!If I can't find him, I will definitely suffer from insomnia again today!

The squad leader struggled for a long time, but honestly reached out to Xiao Mu's drawer little by little.

"Excuse me, is there someone like Xiao Mu in your class? I have something to do with him."

The squad leader withdrew his hand like an electric shock, his breathing became heavier and thicker unconsciously, and he looked towards the door with a guilty conscience.

The man standing at the door was estimated to be in his twenties, and his attire looked out of place with the students in this classroom.

His bangs were dyed in multiple colors, four thin braids were braided at the back of his head, and four round earrings were worn on one side of his ears, but this usually well-groomed hairstyle was wet with sweat and stuck to the face.

Most people in the class unconsciously put their eyes on the ripped jeans of the visitor.

It is true that no one wears ripped jeans on the street on weekdays, but they are basically worn by girls, and the holes on the top are no bigger than a palm at most.

This man's pants...

Rather than saying it was ripped jeans, it was better to say that two or three pieces of fabric were connected together with a few threads, and they fell loosely on his crotch.

Shi Jiting stood at the door for a minute. The class that was noisy just now was silent for half a minute after he asked the question. She secretly glanced at him thinking she was hiding.

It's just that no one answered his words.

It's really infuriating.

Shi Jiting's patience was running low, and after returning to this dilapidated and small town, nothing went well, and he had to be pointed out by a group of bumpkins who had never seen the market before.

Recalling that he was stopped by security guards when he first entered the school, Shi Jiting couldn't control his temper more and more.

"Is Xiao Mu in this class?!"

He kicked the iron door of the classroom with his foot, making a thud.

Now no one dared to go forward, and no one dared to talk to this person who saw clearly that he looked like a young man in a bad society, for fear of saying something wrong and causing trouble to his upper body.

The squad leader bit the bullet and walked up, "Who are you, what can I do with Xiao Mu?"

Shi Jiting barely restrained his temper that was about to explode, and his tone was still a little angry:

"I'm a senior in the same studio as him. I want to talk to him about the competition. Do you know him? Call him over."

The squad leader frowned unhappily, not quite believing that Xiao Mu, who was indifferent to a little withdrawn, would know such a person.Seeing that he didn't believe it, Shi Jiting took out his mobile phone and made two gestures, calling out the circle of friends he had posted earlier.

The squad leader leaned over to see that this circle of friends posted a landscape painting, which according to the person next to him was painted by himself.

Swipe down, hundreds of likes, hundreds of comments, all praises.

The squad leader couldn't understand the difference between this painting and other paintings at all, and he couldn't feel the aura or the rightness mentioned in the comments below. If he had to say it, he saw Xiao Mu's painting was beautiful yesterday.But at least he can know that this person is really not the social youth he imagined.

After confirming this point, the squad leader felt relieved:

"The head teacher called Xiao Mu away just now, he should be in the office now."

After Shi Jiting found out where Xiao Mu was, he went to the office without even saying thank you, but he couldn't find Xiao Mu after searching around.

His attire frequently attracted the teacher's attention, so he had no choice but to go back to Xiao Mu's class, and found an empty seat to wait for Xiao Mu to come back.

I thought that Xiao Mu would be back in 10 minutes at most, but I didn't expect that Xiao Mu didn't come back when the class bell rang.This class is a self-study class. There are only sparse sounds of flipping books in the classroom. Shi Jiting hasn't attended a self-study class for many years. He is so boring that he is almost moldy. The switcher turns on the electric fan for a while and then turns off the electric fan for a while. I don't know if it is too cold or too hot or too idle.

Shi Jiting swiped his phone for a while, but there was nothing interesting on the phone, so he was too idle, so he took the initiative to sit next to the little boy who was talking to him just now.

"Hey, are you familiar with Xiao Mu?"

The squad leader looked around, pointed to his nose, and looked at Shi Jiting suspiciously:

"I?"

"Yes, talking to you."

"I don't know him very well."

"I think so, Xiao Mu's personality is hard to get close to, he probably doesn't have many friends in school."

The squad leader always felt that this person's words were annoying, and he didn't want to reply to his words for a while.But Shi Jiting didn't care whether he answered or not, and said to himself:

"When he came to our studio, his foundation was poor, and he couldn't keep up with what the teacher taught. If I hadn't brought him, he might not even be able to arrange the wiring."

"Hey, I don't know what's going on recently. I asked him to paint well and he didn't listen. There is an important competition to sign up for this month. He didn't have enough talent for painting, and he refused to work hard. I told him before. I said that I want to sign up, how did this pass the review?"

"I think it's better for him to be honest and learn from me for a while. It takes three to five years to learn something, and it's more than enough to go out and participate in some small competitions."

While talking, he turned over his early circle of friends to the monitor.

There are two paintings on the left and one right on it, both of which are landscape paintings, and the monitor can't find anything wrong with one, and the other looks dirty even to a layman like him.

Shi Jiting kept flipping through Moments, and picked out another painting by Xiao Mu.

This painting doesn't look like the previous one is full of immature and jerky traces of beginners, but it's not that good either.It's not that there is anything obviously bad about painting skills, anyway, the class leader considers himself a layman among laymen, so he can't judge whether the painting is good or bad.

But this painting makes people feel uncomfortable at first glance. Just one glance makes people unable to help but look away, and they are not in the mood to continue looking at it.

The comments below also feel the same as the squad leader.

'Is this drawn by that junior brother?Why is it so ugly! '

'I didn't expect that the senior brother's level is so high, but the junior brother is not very good, haha, the senior brother should teach the junior brother well. '

'This painting is too depressing, the tone is too dark, and the portraits of the characters are really not up to standard, brother, you should let the younger brother learn landscape painting from you. '

'It may sound a bit harsh to say, but you, a little junior, don't seem to have any talent for painting. '

The more you move forward in the circle of friends, the less frequently Xiao Mu appears. In recent months, only Shi Jiting shows off his own paintings, and there is no Xiao Mu at all.

A circle of people around the monitor's desk did not know when, whispering:

"Hey, I didn't expect Xiao Mu to be able to draw."

"It looks so good, I've seen these games on TV!"

Shi Jiting paused his fingers, letting himself stay in the photo of the certificate he received for a while longer, curling up the corners of his mouth, especially enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by adoring eyes.

"Xiao Mu doesn't seem to be as good at painting as his senior brother. I don't think his painting is good-looking."

That's right, that's right, these people have some vision.

"I think Xiao Mu's paintings are pretty good..."

Dissatisfied, Shi Jiting raised his head to look at the speaker, only to find that it was the little boy from before who spoke.

The people next to him looked at the monitor in surprise:

"No way, monitor, is your aesthetic so strange?"

"Squad leader? Do you think this painting looks good?!"

The squad leader shook his head, all he could think about was the painting of an angel that he caught a glimpse of yesterday.

No matter what, he felt that Xiao Mu who could draw that picture would not be the untalented and lazy junior that Shi Jiting said.
