Re-enactment of Boyhood [Rebirth]

Guo Jingyu sent Li Tongzhou off at the station, seeing him and Song Zhuoran leaving together, for a moment he wanted to go back together.

For more than half a year, I could see Li Tongzhou every day, and he suddenly couldn't accept the separation.

Guo Jingyu touched the tip of his nose and smiled.

It's really easy to go from frugality to extravagance. People who I couldn't see in my dreams before can see and meet people now, but I'm still not satisfied.

The life in the studio went on as usual, Guo Jingyu was a substitute teacher for three days a week, and arranged the rest of the time by himself.

He and Li Tongzhou started to exchange text messages, sometimes in the middle of the night without stopping. When he woke up in the morning while brushing his teeth, he could hear the phone beeping. When he looked down, he could see the other party greeting him good morning.

The dissatisfaction in Guo Jingyu's heart gradually calmed down.

Now it seems to go back to the time when the two of them communicated by text message. Because they have to go to class, it is almost impossible to make a phone call, but there are endless topics that I want to share with each other. I can send thousands of text messages a month. At that time, text messages cost a dime. One, when converted, is really a huge sum of money in love.

Guo Jingyu once again experienced the mood of that year.

But it's not the same. At that time, the two of them were relatively young when they just established a relationship. They used each other as girlfriends to coax each other. The Book Building bought a lot of books and read them carefully.

Now he doesn't do that.

Guo Jingyu sent text messages and began to tease the other party. In the first one, Li Tongzhou was still asking him if he had eaten, but in the second one, Guo Jingyu started teasing him, "There are several young couples in our studio. You didn't see them when you came, so it's special to get together. Tired and crooked, and give each other nicknames."

Li Tongzhou replied: "What nickname?"

"They called each other 'Baby'."

Li Tongzhou was quiet for a long time, and then he began to distribute study notes to Guo Jingyu as if nothing had happened, telling him about the questions he asked yesterday.

Guo Jingyu asked him: "Hey, Li Tongzhou, are you shy?"

"No."

"Call one and I'll listen."

"...wait for you to come back."

Guo Jingyu is much thicker than him, and in the text message he shouted very affectionately, saying everything he could and couldn't, "You're sorry, then I'll come, if you don't like 'baby' I'll call you baby, Is half of it done? Or Zaizai is also good, you are usually so obedient, you choose one of the two words? I will count to 3, if you don’t reply, I will customize it.”

Li Tongzhou was a little busy, and he replied after 10 minutes, asking, "What did you choose?"

Guo Jingyu said: "I won't tell you, keep it secret, I'll show you when I get back."

Run away after teasing, very exciting.

In the evening, Lao Cao came to the studio to deliver a new plaster statue, and Guo Jingyu helped to move it together. Lao Cao's eyes were sharp, listening to his mobile phone text messages ringing non-stop, he smiled and said, "Why, are you talking about a girlfriend?"

Guo Jingyu said: "It's not a girlfriend."

Lao Cao was a little surprised: "Can't you? Then who do you practice every day?"

"My wife." Guo Jingyu helped him arrange the plaster statue, took out his mobile phone and showed him the name of the person who read the information, the word "wife" was particularly conspicuous.Lao Cao still wanted to see more, but Guo Jingyu had already put it back, and said proudly after showing off, "It's formal, it's about getting married."

Lao Cao was so sore by this young man that his teeth ached, even those who entered the university campus hand in hand dared not say so sure, Guo Jingyu was only ten years old and settled down, he didn't believe it.

After finishing the plaster statue, Lao Cao stopped Guo Jingyu again, and said to him, "Didn't you say you wanted to take the Qingmei exam last time? I asked for you, and there happened to be a Qingmei teacher I knew who was leading a small class nearby. Let me introduce it to you, you go and learn."

Guo Jingyu thanked him, Lao Cao waved his hands and said: "If you pass the exam, it will be a matter of honor for the studio. I am quite optimistic about you, but your modeling foundation is so good, it would be a pity to go to the design exam."

Guo Jingyu smiled and said, "It's because I draw well that I want to try a style I haven't experienced before. There are so many chocolates in the box of life, it's a pity to eat only one, so it's fun."

Lao Cao froze for a moment, shook his head and laughed, "You dare to say that, you are young, I envy you a little bit."

Lao Cao took great care of Guo Jingyu and took him to that teacher Qingmei himself.

The teacher is also teaching in the studio, but the class is small, and most of his studies are related to creativity, and by the way, he helps analyze the exam questions over the years.The dress is completely different from Lao Cao's. He is wearing a handmade high-end suit and tie, and his windbreaker is placed on the fabric sofa beside him. He looks very elite.

Because they are acquaintances, when they saw Lao Cao, they were polite and took good care of Guo Jingyu.

When Lao Cao was about to leave, he said to Guo Jingyu: "The classes here are only open for two days on weekends. I adjusted the time for you to be a substitute teacher in the studio. You can just come over on weekends, and you don't need to ask the life teacher for leave. I greeted you."

"Thank you Brother Cao."

Lao Cao waved his hand, "Don't thank me, just promise me that if you really enter Qingmei in the future, don't dress like that, it's too coquettish."

Guo Jingyu said: "Don't worry, I like to wear ripped jeans, look, I'm wearing them today."

Lao Cao told him again: "Qingmei is different from others. The best thing there is design. In previous years, the exam questions were all kinds of strange. Take the year before last as an example. During the sketching exam, the teacher brought a newspaper and wrapped it up on the spot. Come on, throw it on the ground, let everyone start to draw, where did the students who went to the exam see this before, a lot of their mentality collapsed, and they didn’t draw well. There are also creative sketches, which are creative, basically silent writing , there are no characters, it all depends on the accumulation of the students themselves when they go out, otherwise, why do you think so many students around here go to the night market and the train station to paint at night!" He lowered his voice and said to Guo Jingyu, "I will give you Introduce this teacher, he is different from others, he has given exam questions, you must learn from them."

Guo Jingyu half believed what he heard.

It is true that the professional exams are difficult in the past, but it is not certain that the teachers have given exam questions later on. Anyone who opens a studio in this area will hire a few teachers from the Academy of Fine Arts with high salaries.

Guo Jingyu is not worried about his major at all.

He took the test once, and by chance, he still remembered the questions.

If it is said that he was only three to five points sure in the previous exams, then he can say that he has nine points in hand this time, not only the questions, but after so many years of experience, his vision and realm have changed. He is bound to win this college entrance examination.

After a few days of small class design class, the topic given by the Qingmei teacher was indeed only Guo Jingyu could understand and express it. He gave quite high marks and paid special attention to this new student. From time to time, I will take his pictures to explain to everyone.

A few days later, Fan Jiali was also sent here by Lao Cao to take a design class together. Fan Jiali's strength lies in her grades in cultural subjects, and her major can barely be regarded as an upper-middle class, but her understanding is not bad, and she is willing to endure hardships. Willing to take the time to learn.

After Fan Jiali came to the small class, she couldn’t get used to it at first. Design things were too unfamiliar to her. For example, Lao Cao only taught basic character sketches for the entrance exam, and the colors were still life gouache. Requiring students to paint half-length portraits in color, and sketching with hands, has far exceeded the scope of her previous learning.

It was very difficult for Fan Jiali to keep up with the schedule, but she gritted her teeth and tried her best to keep up with everyone.

She sat in the second row at the back. There were more than ten people in the small class, and Guo Jingyu was still the No.1 major here.

Fan Jiali watched the teacher paste his paintings on the wall as an example to explain to everyone, her eyes were full of envy, but when she looked at Guo Jingyu again, she found that Guo Jingyu had no reaction to these, either Keeping your head down and continuing to draw pictures, or looking at your phone, you don't look excited because of the praise, you've become used to it.

She bit her lip and tried her best to listen and take notes.

There are envious and jealous people in the small class. Some local students who have been taking the exam for two years are suddenly overwhelmed by the newcomers. They feel somewhat uncomfortable. Some people say in a joking tone: "Teacher, Guo Jingyu This year is going to be stable and beautiful, right?"

The teacher had a good temper and said to them: "It's hard to say, but the chance of being selected is still very high."

The teacher talked about three-dimensional composition at night, Guo Jingyu didn't stay to listen, got up and packed up his things and was about to leave, Fan Jiali saw her walking over and asked in a low voice: "Guo Jingyu, don't you listen to the three-dimensional composition at night?"

Guo Jingyu shook his head: "I don't plan to take the exam for the School of Architecture, so I won't listen to that one for now."

Fan Jiali was a little ignorant, Guo Jingyu said to her: "I suggest that you also choose the departments in advance, don't learn everything, and focus on what you are good at."

Fan Jiali was a little frustrated, "I don't seem to be good at drawing anything. Before I came here, I thought my level was good, but the people in the small class are too good."

Guo Jingyu said with a smile: "There is still more than half a year. If you have time, you can draw more portraits with busts and hands." If he remembers correctly, this is one of the topics for the Qingmei exam next year, and it can be regarded as revealing a little bit to Fan Jiali , As for whether she listens or not, it all depends on herself.

The days of studio training were boring, Guo Jingyu did not make new friends as before, he went to play with his classmates on weekends, he became busy, and spent all his time and patience on the major and Li Tongzhou.

Sometimes Lao Cao couldn't stand it anymore, and would drag him out to have barbecue together.

Lao Cao drank beer by himself and brought him juice. After a few cans of beer, Lao Cao began to talk about envying him, saying that he was not so young and arrogant.

Guo Jingyu just smiled and didn't say anything.

Only he knew in his heart that the one-year deadline was getting closer and closer, and he had so much, but compared with that person's safety, these were nothing.

In early June, Gu Yu contacted him.

When Guo Jingyu answered the call, he thought it was a scam call. After hanging up twice, he realized that it was his cousin who was going to study abroad. He smiled and said, "Cousin, why do you have such an accent now? I didn't hear it just now. come out."

Gu Yu said: "Don't mention it, my roommate is from the Northeast, I just came here two months ago and got me wrong!"

Guo Jingyu was amused: "Why did you remember to call me? Last time I went back to see grandma during the Chinese New Year, I heard that you still don't let uncle see you?"

Gu Yu was a little embarrassed: "I haven't mixed up yet, I don't want them to come."

Guo Jingyu: "I understand, but you should always call home to report that you are safe."

Gu Yu smiled and said: "Hey, I know, why do you say the same thing as grandma, she also told me so."

"Because our family thinks so, uncle don't bother to put down his face and tell you, it's the same with grandma and I, remember, if you have anything to do, you must go to home first."

"I'm really embarrassed to tell my family now..."

"what happened?"

"Jing Yu, do you still have any money on you? I bought two high-end computers here, and I also signed up for an extra training class. I can't afford to pay this month's rent." Gu Yu was very embarrassed. After finishing speaking, he immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll issue an IOU for you, one year at the latest, and I'll pay you back as soon as I make money, with interest!"

Guo Jingyu thought for a while and asked him, "How long will the training class last?"

Gu Yu said: "It depends on the individual. I think there is still too much new knowledge to learn, and I can't finish it in a while." When Gu Yu mentioned this, his tone was a little excited, and he sounded very immersed in it.

Guo Jingyu said: "Then it will be calculated on a yearly basis. It is not an option for you to borrow money like this. Let's start a small business together. Aren't you just in a foreign country? There are many and cheap cosmetic brands over there. You can help me buy them for you." , mail it back, and we will share the money we earn.”

"Purchasing on behalf of others? I'm quite willing, but you can't ask for leave for the training class here, maybe you don't have much time."

"Don't worry, you don't need to waste too much time. One or two days every half a month is enough for centralized buying. You will be responsible for buying, and the rest of the sales will be left to me."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
