Beyond The Outline

Shao Zhan doesn't know much about his classmates, but he often helps teachers in various subjects to approve homework and count scores. He can hardly forget the names he met. If he remembers correctly, there should be no one named Kang Kai in the entire second-year group .

And if it's someone from the school, they won't say "you come here quickly".

Then there is only one situation left, the person named Kang Kai in the contact list of Xu Sheng's mobile phone is from outside the school.

Should be friends.

In the chat box, the line 'typing' next to the contact flashed intermittently.

Kang Kai: If you don't come, I'm really going to die.

Kang Kai: Anyway, tomorrow is Saturday, so it’s okay for you to come out, brother, I’m waiting for you with my last breath!

Kang Kai: I'll give you one hour. If you don't arrive before six o'clock, you can collect the body for me.

Shao Zhan: "..."

Meanwhile, in the teacher's office.

"Shao Zhan," Zhou Yuan arranged the questions, then reached for the water glass next to him, "You copy down these ten questions first."

"Oh," Xu Sheng stood on the side with his head down, and he raised his head after two seconds of reaction, "...copy?"

Xu Sheng is now Shao Zhan. No matter what Shao Zhan said, the teacher would take the initiative to find him a step down. Zhou Yuan said: "Can you memorize it? You have a good memory, if you can memorize it, that's fine."

Excuse me.

I can't carry it.

Xu Sheng could only bite the bullet and pick up the pen next to him. Being stared at by Zhou Yuan, his hands trembled involuntarily.

He hasn't practiced the stack of copybooks that Shao Zhan bought for him for a while.

Perseverance is difficult, but giving up is easy. After giving up, Xu Sheng's word has long since been turned back.

Maybe it was because he was too restrained during that time, his words...

Even grassier and wilder than before.

Under Zhou Yuan's scorching gaze, Xu Sheng casually grabbed the A4 paper on the side, put his tail finger on the paper, and wrote the three words "Question [-]" as neatly as possible.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan only took one look, when the phone rang next to him, Zhou Yuan reached out to pick it up: "Hey, Director Gu, hey, tell me."

Xu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, his hands speeded up, trying to finish copying all the questions before Zhou Yuan hung up the phone, and then left the office quickly.

If he stayed in the office again, he was afraid that he would die and go back alive.

Although Xu Sheng didn't hand in homework most of the time, or just wrote "jie" when handing it in, there were always some teachers in junior high school who were too irritable and couldn't stand those teachers who kept talking to him about homework, and would Ask classmates to copy homework.

Originally, he couldn't even read the strokes and even the shape of the characters, so the speed of copying homework was extremely fast.

I didn't expect this skill to be used in copying questions now.

Xu Sheng quickly copied to the last question.

Zhou Yuan also meant to hang up the phone after chatting: "The implementation will start today, right? Okay, then I know."

Xu Sheng speeded up and finished copying the last few words together. The tip of the fountain pen fell to the end of the sentence and made a dot at the end of the sentence.

"Snapped".

Zhou Yuan hung up the landline and sat down. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said to Xu Sheng: "That's right, Director Gu told me just now..." When he said this, he happened to see that extremely chic point, So he stopped in the middle of the sentence.

No matter how fast Xu Sheng's hands were, he was still one step slower after all.

Xu Shengxin said, Shao Zhan, I have tried my best.

Zhou Yuan opened his mouth: "You...the word you..."

"Teacher," Xu Sheng put down his pen, frantically searching for key information in his mind in an attempt to survive: "...Actually, I've been practicing Kuangcao recently."

Zhou Yuan: "?"

Xu Sheng straightened up, and took a step back while grabbing the copied topic: "Didn't Teacher Meng ask me what happened to my words in the office last time?"

Zhou Yuan remembered that this really happened. At that time, Shao Zhan failed the exam, and the writing on the test paper was still floating: "Are you still practicing?"

Xu Sheng said: "I thought about it. I can't choose to give up just because this font doesn't suit me. It's easy to give up, but I choose to persevere."

Zhou Yuan: "..."

Xu Sheng: "I will continue to practice."

This is not necessary.

Originally, I could write well, so I practiced some wild cursive.

But Zhou Yuan didn't know what to say, he was silent for two seconds, and decided to skip the topic: "It's like this, just now Director Gu called and said that all the contestants will go to conference room [-] for a meeting after school today, just so you Here, I won’t give any further notice, you can go now.”

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he took another sip of tea, looked up and found that "Shao Zhan" was still standing in front of him, not moving: "What are you doing in a daze, Director Gu and the others have already arrived in the conference room."

Xu Sheng felt that the air around him became extremely thin, so thin that he could hardly breathe.

What happened?

competition?

Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief before he remembered that Shao Zhan still had such an identity.

He knew that Shao Zhan had participated in many competitions before. His name was hung all over the school's honor wall, and there were too many certificates to post. He was called the light of Linjiang No. [-] High School.

In fact, Xu Sheng has passed that wall of reputation countless times - he used to not only check the back door, but the camera near the front door was broken for a while, and he would also check the front door under Gu Yanwang's eyes during his first year of high school.

Jumping down from the high wall, you are facing the wall of honor.

He didn't look at the names carefully, but he had also seen rows of medals shining under the scorching sun, and passed by the person with the name of the medal countless times.

Xu Sheng took a deep breath: "I see."

It was only after Xu Sheng left the office that he saw the message from "myself".

10 minutes ago.

S: I'll wait for you in the classroom.

---

The students disperse the fastest after school on Friday, and the crowd rushes out. There are also many students who stay near the school and gather to hang out on the commercial street outside the school. The campus is extremely deserted by the noisy crowd at the school gate.

When Xu Sheng returned to the classroom, Shao Zhan was sitting on the desk with his back to the podium, with his long legs bent and resting on the ground. A gust of wind came in through the wide-open back door, and the T-shirt on the young man was slightly raised.

Shao Zhan is worthy of being the former Nanping school bully, and sitting there casually is stronger than Xu Sheng's usual posture.

Some students came out from the next class to pack up their things, passed by the door of Class [-], and couldn't help but glanced at "Xu Sheng" a few more times.

After Xu Sheng arrived, Shao Zhan raised his eyes.

The two spoke at the same time.

——"Your friend is looking for you."

——"Competitors are going to the conference room for a meeting."

Done.

Both of them were silent.

For a while, I don't know whose experience is worse.

Xu Sheng scratched his hair: "Which friend of mine? Let him cool off by himself, I don't have time to talk to him."

Shao Zhan unlocked the phone screen, turned the phone over, and turned the chat box to him: "This man named Kang, he said that if you ignore him, you can only help him collect the body."

on the phone screen.

Kang Kai: Please, please help me.

Kang Kai: Didn't you promise to help me?

……

"..." Xu Sheng took a cursory glance, remembering the casual promise that he would be Kang Kai's mentor that night, "...fuck."

Xu Sheng thought of Kang Kai's virtue of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself when he went crazy, and said with a headache, "You have to go."

Shao Zhan: "Address."

Xu Sheng: "I'll send you the address later."

In the current situation, there is no way to exchange the mobile phone and WeChat ID, otherwise Aunt Kang and the others will easily find out, so Xu Sheng said: "We will talk about changing the mobile phone when we come back."

"What about your contest?"

Meng Guowei started talking to Shao Zhan about the competition as early as when he was at the Green Boat Base.

At that time, I only asked about Shao Zhan's intention, but did not inform the exact time and process content.

Shao Zhan: "It should be just a simple meeting. I haven't received any competition notice yet. The contestants are not in the same class. Sometimes they will organize training."

It's better if it's just a simple meeting.

Xu Sheng was relieved.

The most urgent situation right now is for Shao Zhan to see Kang Kai. Shao Zhan is a science student, what can he guide Kang Kai?

Before Xu Sheng mentioned it, Shao Zhan took the initiative to ask. He got down from the table, stood up straight, and put the dialog in front of Xu Sheng: "Explain, who is he?"

It is inconvenient for Xu Sheng to say too much about the studio, and he doesn't know what to say, mainly because of the current situation, he will soon be participating in the competition student meeting as "Shao Zhan", and time is urgent.

In the end Xu Sheng only said: "Kang Kai...he is an acquaintance in the studio, a friend. I took art...interest classes when I was young."

And that's more or less the case.

Shao Zhan raised his brows and asked again: "Is there anything else?"

Xu Sheng didn't know what the point of his question was: "What else?"

When Shao Zhan spoke, the coldness in his eyes and his tone sank together. When he approached him, Xu Sheng only felt that the other party's breath was very close to him, so close that he could clearly see the scene reflected in his pupils, mixed with fine light: "No other relationship?"

After the students on duty in the classroom finished their duty, the fan stopped.

The only thing left is the wind blowing through the hallway.

Xu Sheng tentatively said, "He will occasionally kneel down and call me Dad, does that matter?"

Shao Zhan: "..." Forget it.

In the end, the two agreed that Shao Zhan would go there first, and try to hold Kang Kai back if he could. Xu Sheng also tried to find an opportunity to get out of the competition meeting.

The competition meeting was really similar to what Shao Zhan said, and everyone was routinely organized to sit together and give lectures.

Gu Yanwang was impassioned on the stage: "It's time for our happy competition training again—"

Xu Sheng lowered his head and fiddled with his mobile phone under the stage the whole time.

- did you get out of the car?

And the other side.

Shao Zhan walked into the community according to the address Xu Sheng gave, and through the crack of the door, he could see the paintings on the wall inside the door, as well as scattered easels.

-arrive.

He had just finished replying to Xu Sheng's message when a person came out of the door. He was not tall, holding a blue bucket in his hand. He lowered his head and saw someone blocking him, so he raised his head.

The water in Kang Kai's bucket flickered: "Brother Sheng?"

Shao Zhan didn't know him at all, let alone how close he was, so he took a step back, opened the distance and forced a "hmm".

Kang Kai also held a hook-lining pen in his hand, and he said excitedly, "Wait a minute, I'll change the water, you go inside and wait for me first."

Shao Zhan glanced roughly at the rows of easels in the studio, and there were no traces of painting just now. After eliminating them, only the compartment on the right was left, and the lights in the compartment were also on. The wet paint tray was placed on the table, and the bucket was not seen. The pens scattered on the paint tray were the same color as the person who had just left.

Shao Zhan pulled an empty chair beside this position and sat down.

Sure enough, not long after, Kang Kai came back with a bucket in hand. He pointed to the easel in front of him, and the first thing he said was: "Please help me see this painting."
