the world in which he exists

Gu Tao sent a message to Gu Chaoming one night, saying that he had made a lot of money and asked him to go home to celebrate.

Gu Chaoming ignored and didn't reply as usual, he just felt that Gu Tao was rich and could calm down for a while, so he could have a relaxed life.

This money seems to be quite a lot, because Gu Tao didn't come to the school to look for him this week.

At first Gu Chaoming was still worried, afraid that Gu Tao would see him, but after a week passed, there was no sign of Gu Tao.

Gu Chaoming relaxed a little because of this.Every time he didn't see Gu Tao when he left school, Gu Chaoming would send Lin Jianfan a message.

Now that Gu Tao has money, the frequency of calling him has also decreased, and Gu Chaoming has been hoarding the text messages he sent and never read them.

Gu Tao temporarily left his world. Gu Chaoming knew that Gu Tao would definitely come back when he ran out of money. He knew that this kind of life was just a short-term relaxation, and this kind of life was always repeated.Gu Chaoming hoped that Gu Tao would not block his classmates and just come to him directly.Rather than worrying about Gu Tao coming to him, it is better to say that Gu Chaoming is waiting for Gu Tao to come to him.

Gu Chaoming doesn't know when this kind of life will end, his life is dark, Gu Zhaoming knows that his life is festering, but he can't change anything, he can't do anything, it's like watching a fish lose its breath and sink in the sea.

In the morning, after the second period of the big break, the exercises were disbanded, and the playground was full of people. Gu Chaoming, Cen Xili, and Su Bing squeezed in the crowd and walked forward with difficulty.

Gu Chaoming saw Lin Jianfan who was walking with Li Zhao in front, staring at the back of Lin Jianfan's head with thick hair.Following the crowd to a hurdle to be crossed, Cen Xili reminded Gu Chaoming when he saw that Gu Chaoming was about to fall, "Gu Shuai, be careful where you step."

Only then did Gu Chaoming look away from the back of Lin Jianfan Maomi's head, and Su Bing smiled gloatingly at him: "Gu Shuai, you are not afraid of falling when there are many people, just cast your eyes randomly, and you can stare at others in a daze while walking .”

Gu Chaoming glanced at him, and Su Bing laughed, "You're making money instead of losing money~"

Gu Chaoming raised his hand to beat him, there were too many people and Su Bing had nowhere to hide, so he took it honestly.

Breaking away from the crowd, Gu Chaoming and Su Bing wanted to go shopping together, and asked Cen Xili if he would go, Cen Xili said he would go up first.

Cen Xili parted from the two of them, followed the crowd towards the teaching building, and suddenly felt that the light around him was somewhat blocked.

This is what it is like to like a person, you don’t need to look, listen, or radar, you just need him to stand beside you, no matter how many people there are or how noisy it is, you can still feel his presence at once.

His breathing is special, every bone in his body is special, and all the special ones form a special existence that can be felt through the air just by standing beside him.

Cen Xili's body stiffened involuntarily, stiff and tense, like an unmanned solitary boat in the waves, moving with the flow of people.

You Xin walked beside him quietly.Cen Xili didn't speak, just kept silent, and couldn't help squinting at him.

You Xin is too tall, sneaky, unable to raise his head, Cen Xili can only see You Xin's blue and white school uniform jacket.

You Xin also didn't speak, just walked his way quietly, without Chen Haiyang not by his side, it was much quieter and saved a lot of wars.

Surrounded by the noise of chatting upstairs, only the two of them were silent, like a quiet area in a busy city.

Cen Xili enjoyed it very much.The crowd was crowded, some squeezed their way forward, some slowly let others overtake them, they kept the same pace all the time.

According to You Xin's pace, he had already walked to the front, but he still stayed by Cen Xili's side.You Xin moved closer, sometimes Cen Xili's shoulder could touch You Xin's arm.

When they touched each other, the school uniform sleeves of the two different arms had a wonderful reaction that could not be explained by chemical physics.The sleeves of the not-so-good school uniform rubbed against the dry autumn air, sparking invisible sparks, which made Cen Xili's shoulders burn hot.

Because of the flow of people, You Xin was sometimes close to him, sometimes far away, and the farthest was no more than a palm's distance away.The two of them were not good friends talking together, nor were they classmates in the same class, but they kept walking together in such a silent way.

Cen Xili couldn't help looking around, You Xin suddenly grabbed his sleeve and pulled him a little closer to her.

Cen Xili looked up at him, the stiffness in his shoulders spread to his entire arm.

You Xin gritted his back molars slightly, and let go of Cen Xili's sleeve: "There is someone behind, walk and watch the road."

The sound was flat, like a windless sea without waves.Cen Xili looked at him and smiled slightly, and said softly, "Oh."

There was a slight smile in the voice, like a fragrance floating in the air.

Cen Xili's eyebrows and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, You Xin was taken aback.Cen Xili's smiling spring breeze blew across a lake, creating wrinkles.

Gu Chaoming and Su Bing walked to the canteen together, and Su Bing walked to the snack stand in the canteen to pick out snacks.As soon as Gu Chaoming arrived at the canteen, he went straight to the freezer and bought a bottle of yogurt at the speed of light.

When I saw Lin Jianfan during the disbandment, I thought about whether to buy a bottle of yogurt. As for why I bought yogurt, who knows?He didn't want to drink it either, maybe the yogurt took a fancy to him.

There is no reason, and there is no reason.Gu Chaoming bought it quickly, and waited for Su Bing outside the canteen with yogurt.

When Su Bing came out, he glanced at the yogurt in Gu Chaoming's hand, then at Gu Chaoming, and then laughed inexplicably.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Chaoming had a ghost whose name he didn't know, and he kicked Su Bing to cover it up.

Su Bing deliberately pretended, and said in a strange tone: "Why do you want to drink yogurt all of a sudden? Oh, I see, you are going to deliver yogurt to my little Fan Fan at the front desk, no, it should be to send warmth."

Gu Chaoming squinted at Su Bing: "Send warmth? I also send love? Who said it was for him?"

Su Bing opened a bag of chocolate beans: "Who do you not give it to? You don't like to drink."

Gu Chaoming said stiffly: "What's the matter if I like it now, and what's the matter if I don't like it tomorrow?"

"Then why did you buy it and not drink it?" Su Bingneng read from Gu Chaoming's face: "I don't want to drink it, I'm giving it to others."

Gu Chaoming's mouth was too stiff: "I'll drink it later."

"Isn't it the same now and later? I'll help you insert the straw." Su Bing was about to grab it, but Gu Chaoming quickly changed hands to avoid the yogurt.

Su Bing laughed at him: "Gu Shuai, if you want to give it to others, you still don't admit it."

"Shut up and eat your beans." Sai Subing took a mouthful of chocolate beans, and Gu Chaoming walked a while and threw himself into the trap with yogurt: "I haven't seen many others recently, it's a bit strange."

Su Bing knew who Gu Chaoming was talking about, but he deliberately asked: "Who are you talking about? How do I know who you are talking about if I don't tell you the name?"

Gu Chaoming couldn't bear Su Bing, grabbed a handful of chocolate beans from the snack bag in Su Bing's hand and blocked his mouth: "Eat your beans."

Su Bing laughed, Gu Chaoming let go of him, and grabbed a handful of chocolate beans to eat.

Su Bing wiped his mouth, chewed the chocolate beans that Gu Chaoming stuffed in his mouth and said, "You stuffed so much, I don't want to look like that?"

"Handsome enough, what image do you want?"

Su Bing came over and nodded and said, "Well, I'm happy to hear that."

Su Bing got serious again and said, "He has changed a little these days."

Gu Chaoming threw a chocolate bean into his mouth, looked at Su Bing and asked, "What change?"

"Tell me first, is this yogurt for him?" Su Bing asked.

Gu Chaoming replied against his will: "No."

Su Bing clapped his hands and applauded: "Sao, continue to show."

Gu Chaoming kicked him: "I want to kick you, what happened?"

"Seeing how eager you are, I'd like to tell you," Su Bing said, "He hasn't helped them run errands for the past few days, and even refused to sweep the floor, although the refusal was a bit embarrassing."

"Knocked?"

"The reason for the refusal was a bit embarrassing. At first I saw that he wanted to refuse but he didn't succeed. After saying a few words, he had no reason to go again. Yesterday, he refused Yu Hangwei with the stupid reason of leg pain and asked him to run errands to buy snacks. "

Gu Chaoming remembered what he had chatted with Lin Jianfan after school that day, and it seemed that Lin Jianfan was doing what he said.

It must be very difficult for someone who can’t say no, Gu Chaoming thought.

"It seems that he can't take it anymore." Su Bing looked at Gu Chaoming and nodded thoughtfully, then continued: "Gu Shuai, it's not like you said something to him again?"

Gu Chaoming raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Su Bing swallowed the chocolate beans in his mouth and asked, "Then did you say it more tactfully?"

Gu Chaoming nodded with certainty, he should have said it in a tactful way...

Su Bing said to Gu Chaoming: "Don't think that everyone has an indestructible heart like me."

Gu Chaoming glanced at Su Bing: "Have you eaten too much chocolate beans? Are you still King Kong, a primary school student?"

"Reminisce about your childhood," Su Bing laughed, "By the way, Gu Shuai, how is your house search going?"

Gu Chaoming shook his head: "I went to see it that day, but it wasn't very suitable. I planned to look for it when I was free on Sunday, but my mother said that she would come to see me, so she couldn't go."

"Your mother came to see you? Go ahead, I'll help you pay attention to the house."

As Su Bing said, Gu Chaoming looked at him, paused his footsteps, and Su Bing was secretly helping him again.Su Bing always took his needs to heart and secretly went to help.Gu Chaoming's heart warmed up, it's great for him to have such a friend.

Su Bing said: "I think it's better to choose a hidden one, so that your father can't find it. It's best to go around and stun people. I'll find it for you and send it to you later. "

Gu Chaoming responded with "Yes", he wanted to say thank you, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at Su Bing, and the same for Cen Xili.They always care about him silently and give him warmth. Gu Chaoming is glad that there are still them in his world. Without them, Gu Chaoming thinks his world should be dark.

Just as he entered the classroom, the preparatory bell rang, Su Bing teased Gu Chaoming, stretched out his hand and asked, "Do you want me to bring it to him for you?"

Gu Chaoming kicked Su Bing: "Go back to your place."

Walking into the classroom, he looked at Lin Jianfan's seat and walked back to his own seat, only to find that Lin Jianfan's seat was not him, but someone else.

Looking at his position again, Cen Xi stood at attention and was talking to Lin Jianfan.Gu Chaoming walked over to Lin Jianfan and asked, "Why are you here?"

Cen Xili explained to Lin Jianfan, "He and Liu Guangyu changed places."

Liu Guangyu was sitting next to Gu Chaoming, and Gu Chaoming seemed not to care.

"Do you also change the poodle class? Watch out for her explosion."

"Just now the English teacher said to switch classes with the biology teacher, and this class will be biology." Cen Xili said.

No wonder they dared to change places, Gu Chaoming looked at Lin Jianfan who was sitting across the aisle, hesitated for a while and risked being complained by Su Bing, or threw the yogurt on Lin Jianfan's table: "This is for you, don't you like to drink it?" ?"

Seeing Fan took it, Lin smiled brightly: "Thank you."

The mobile phone on the table vibrated, Gu Chaoming picked it up and saw that it was the house information sent by Su Bing, and Su Bing immediately sent another one: "I have seen it." There was a squinting smile behind it.

Gu Chaoming glanced at Su Bingna, Su Bing laughed at him, and Gu Chaoming gave Su Bing a long-distance middle finger.

The biology teacher's voice was still dragging on for so long, making people fall asleep. Gu Chaoming felt that if the school selects the teacher who can best lull students to sleep, the biology teacher must be the first, and it is well-deserved.

When Gu Chaoming was writing his homework underneath, he could even make him feel sleepy.After finishing his homework, he looked at Lin Jianfan who was next to him. Lin Jianfan was also doing his homework just like him, and the finished yogurt was placed on the table.

Gu Chaoming smiled when he saw the yogurt box beside the table, and quietly asked Lin Jianfan, "What homework are you doing?"

Homework and the hypnosis of the biology teacher made Gu Chaoming a little tired, lying on the table and looking at Lin Jianfan.

Lin Jianfan looked at him and said nothing.

"If you don't tell me if you're writing some cheats for a top student, you can't share it with us bad students."

Seeing Fan, Lin Jian quickly said, "No, I'm not a top student either."

Seeing his flustered look, Gu Chaoming smiled: "I'm just joking, you're in a hurry."

Lin saw Fan holding a pen and staring at Gu Chaoming, Gu Chaoming said to him: "You write yours, I'll sleep first."

Gu Chaoming closed his eyes, faced Lin Jianfan and lay down on the table to sleep in this position.

In the darkness with eyes closed, drowsiness gradually rose. In the haze, Gu Chaoming heard the sound of Lin Jianfan's pen tip across the paper, mixed with the sound of the video played by the biology teacher on the podium.

Gu Chaoming fell into a deep sleep, and Lin saw Fan glanced at him, seeing that his chest rose and fell evenly, and his nose breathed evenly, as if he was asleep.

After making sure that Gu Chaoming was asleep, Lin Jianfan turned over the draft paper that he had hurriedly turned over when Gu Chaoming came to ask him a question just now.

On that page of draft paper was a boy sitting and doing his homework. In the painting, the boy lowered his head slightly, looking serious.

Seeing Fan tilting his head to peek at him, Lin continued to complete the painting.

After finishing the painting, Lin saw Fan peeking at Gu Chaoming's sleeping face, and picked up his pen again. Soon there was another boy sleeping on his stomach on the draft paper. The sleeping face was quiet, and it was the same boy who was sitting and doing homework.

Gu Chaoming woke up, he didn't get up, but quietly opened his eyes to see what Lin Jianfan was doing, and was soon discovered by Lin Jianfan who stole the painting of him.

Gu Chaoming opened his narrow eyes to meet Lin Jianfan's gaze, and Lin Jianfan kept staring at his eyes that were about to be opened curiously.Under Lin Jianfan's gaze, Gu Chaoming had no choice but to surrender, opened his eyes and sat up, clearing his throat just after waking up.

Without warning, Gu Chaoming suddenly pulled his neck to see what Lin Jianfan was doing, Lin Jianfan immediately closed the draft book in a panic.

Seeing that Fan moved too fast, Gu Chaoming didn't see anything, and pretended to say, "I've seen it all. Your yogurt drawing is quite good."

yogurt?Didn't Gu Chaoming see it?Lin Jianfan flipped through his draft book again.

"Have you studied it before?" Gu Chaoming asked, "Oh, by the way, when you introduced yourself, it seemed that you had learned to draw."

It seems that Gu Chaoming didn't see it, Lin saw Fan Song and nodded in one breath.

Gu Chaoming pointed to Cen Xili and said, "Xili has also learned it, and he wrote all the blackboard newspapers in our class."

Lin Jianfan smiled and said, "Then I can come and help in the future."

Gu Chaoming poked Cen Xili who was beside him with his elbow: "You will have helpers when you report on the blackboard in the future."

Cen Xili turned slightly to look at Lin Jianfan, and said to Gu Chaoming: "Is it Fan? He can draw, I know, as long as you and Auntie Su don't make trouble."

Cen Xili bypassed Gu Chaoming and said to Lin Jianfan: "When drawing a blackboard newspaper, don't let him and Su Bing get close to the blackboard."

"Isn't it just that one time?" Gu Chaoming said.

Cen Xili couldn't help sighing.Once when Cen Xili posted a blackboard newspaper, Gu Chaoming and Su Bing stayed to help, and they agreed to help, but the two of them were fighting in the classroom, fighting with brooms and other things.

Cen Xili was standing on a chair and drawing with chalk in his hand. Behind him was the sound of the two of them fighting with brooms.

As soon as Cen Xili finished drawing, the two of them accidentally poured water on the blackboard newspaper. If they painted it, it was as if they didn't draw it, which made Cen Xili angry.

Lin Jianfan looked at the two of them and smiled, and asked Cen Xili, "I heard you won the award?"

When mentioning the words "winning the award", Lin Jianfan saw that the smile on Gu Chaoming's face gradually disappeared and returned to a normal look, even a flash of displeasure, obviously not wanting to talk about it.

As the saying goes, which pot is not open and which pot is to be lifted, Lin Jianfan felt that he mentioned that the pot was not open.Seeing that Fan Gang was hesitant to say something else and skip this topic, Cen Xili smiled in his usual style and said, "It's just a small award."

That's right, Lin Jianfan picked up the pot of unboiled water.Cen Xili won a not-so-famous award, and the main character of the painting submitted was You Xin, which was why Gu Chaoming didn't want to mention it.

Gu Chaoming had seen that painting. Gu Zhaoming didn't know much about painting, but he knew beauty and ugliness. When Cen Xili took them to the studio and saw the painting, Gu Chaoming was indeed surprised.

The colored drawing paper is fixed on a wooden drawing board, and the edge of the drawing board is stained with colorful paints, while the person in the painting stands by the window and smiles faintly.Outside the window is a red gradient cloud like a burning cloud, but the birds that happen to fly by also melt into the burning red.

Warm, vigorous, vital.

Gu Chaoming does not comment on the painting skills, but only knows that he was amazed by this painting at that time.The painted people hadn't bothered him so much then, and he hadn't folded his arms.

The person in the painting walked up the stairs after running and walking beside Cen Xili, silent and did not speak.

It's his character, and it's not his character.

You Xin's silence today is completely different from when Gao Yi asked him to be a model.Today's You Xin has been silent, only saying a few words, but that time when You Xin was a model for Cen Xili, he talked as much as a small talker, and could even be said to be a bit noisy.

Cen Xili tricked You Xin into being his model on the grounds that he couldn't find a model for the competition.On the surface it was just a coincidence, but in fact it was planned by Cen Xili for a long time.

Bad thoughts that only he knows.

"Then what am I going to do?" You Xin agreed without the slightest doubt.

"Just try to stay as still as possible." Cen Xili said while arranging the painting tools.

"Should I find a pose or a scene? Have you figured out how to draw it?" You Xin asked as he walked beside Cen Xili.

Cen Xili shook his head, and then You Xin turned left and right in the studio, looking for things that could be used as props, raising and lowering his hands and feet, looking for good-looking poses.

Seeing him so busy, Cen Xili smiled faintly after setting up the drawing board.

You Xin took out a textbook from his schoolbag, leaned against the window and put on a melancholy pose and asked Cen Xili, "How about this?"

Cen Xili looked up at You Xin who was pretending to be melancholy, and just smiled without saying a word.You Xin moved another chair and placed it in front of Cen Xili's drawing board, sitting on the chair and asked, "How about this?"

Cen Xili still smiled.

You Xin sat on the chair and said, "Don't just smile, has the master artist thought about what to paint? I, a little model, are good at posing."

Cen Xili said: "The great painter hasn't figured it out yet, so you can pose in whatever pose you want, and I'll paint as you pose."

The great painter had no ideas in his head, but just watched his model change poses constantly.

He just wanted to paint him, and he didn't think about the rest.

You Xin asked: "Free play?"

Cen Xili said, "You can do whatever you think is good."

During the period, You Xin changed several props and poses, but finally chose the simplest one—standing by the window.

"I'll just stand here, and you can draw whatever you want." You Xin said.

Before long, You Xin, who was trying to keep still, discovered the disadvantages of this posture. Standing is too tiring.From time to time, he was lazy to look at the trainees training on the playground outside the window, and from time to time he looked at Cen Xili who was hiding behind the drawing board and was serious about drawing.

Cen Xili's hair was hanging down softly, and he raised his arms, waving them up and down on the drawing board.You Xin regretted it, and should have chosen a chair to sit on.

You Xin looked at Cen Xili, who was serious about painting, in a daze to relieve boredom. The studio was very quiet. You Xin stared at Cen Xili, at the way he blinked, and at his waving arms.

Not long after, You Xin asked, "Is the painting finished?"

Cen Xili shook his head: "Not yet."

After a while, You Xin asked again: "Have you finished the painting yet?"

Cen Xili said, "Not so fast."

You Xin didn't realize that she said coquettishly, "Your model is tired."

Just two words "your" are enough to make Cen Xili stop writing.

Cen Xili calmly put away his pause, continued to draw, and took away his little beating silently.

"Then please... my model... eat."

my model.

After countless revisions, the drawing finally satisfied Cen Xili.

Later, when coloring, Cen Xili held the palette and looked at more than 20 colors on the table. When he was drawing the line draft that day, Cen Xili's eyes were all on his model, and he had long forgotten the color of the sky outside the window that day.

Cen Xili looked at the boy in the painting, and the paintbrush in his hand stretched out to the hot and passionate red in the palette.

There is a gradient of red outside the window, and his model is red, hot red.

And he was the flying bird that was annihilated in the scorching red.
