The next day Jiang Lai went to school, met Liu Zhi in the car shed, locked the car and went up to say hello.Liu Zhi kept a polite smile at a distance, as if it was another him who went to wait for someone in the dark alley the night before.

"Happy birthday, I was a little confused and forgot to say it last night." Jiang Lai smiled.

Liu Zhi smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

"Liu Zhi, Jiang Lai..."

It is at least two or three hundred meters from the carport to the classroom. Jiang Lai was embarrassed and didn't know what to say next, so he heard Lao Tang calling his two names from behind.

Jiang Lai turned his head, and Teacher Tang got off the black [-]-bar, patted the bundled things on the back seat, and signaled the two of them to come forward to help.

Jiang Lai and Liu Zhi went together, Teacher Tang smiled and pointed to the package on the back seat.The two small bags were firmly tied to the seat with ropes. They looked small, but the rear tires were slightly flattened by the pressure.

"These are some picture albums collected by my classmates from the Academy of Fine Arts, and they have finally been mailed. The two of you helped me send them to the studio. I will share them with everyone during the professional class today."

After Teacher Tang finished speaking, he untied the rope binding the package, and motioned Jiang Lai and Liu Zhi to do it themselves.

Two students were arrested early in the morning, one was rushing to answer the math homework the night before, and the other was preparing to review vocabulary and prepare for the weekend English test, and they didn't seem very happy.Teacher Tang saw that he was distracted, locked the car with a smile and walked in front, "I won't let you help me for nothing, I will give you a small stove later."

Hearing the word "Xiaozao", Jiang Lai and Liu Zhi lost even more interest. The Xiaozao in the noodle soup was mostly boring chatter, talking about the market for further education in China over and over again, and no one liked to listen to it after a long time.

Before the morning self-study, the students on duty were cleaning, and the Tianguang Studio was covered with a fine layer of dust.Several people couldn't help coughing as soon as they walked in.

"Put it on the table." Teacher Tang stopped coughing for a while, asked Jiang Lai and Liu Zhi to put the package on the desk in the corner, and beckoned, "Come, let me show you this."

Jiang Lai and Liu Zhi looked at each other briefly, and at the same time became interested in the things in Tang Nian Pian'er's hands. They stopped the steps that were about to flee back to the classroom, turned around and walked to the teacher.

Mr. Tang was holding a well-known art magazine in China, and the first page was a small stove he wanted to teach two students.

"Look, what is this?"

Jiang Lai and Liu Zhiqi stared at the article together, but they felt hot all over after just a casual glance.

It turned out that the famous artist Shao Fanghua recruited 10 domestic art students to complete an art exhibition together.Painting works need to express their own reflections on the relationship with this era. First send digital photos to the designated mailbox. After the primary selection, Mr. Shao will personally communicate with the students online and finally select the works.

Although becoming one tenth of the many art students in the country is almost like catching the lottery, Jiang Lai and Liu Zhi are a bit arrogant in their bones. When encountering such a thing, they will not think it is a gimmick for the artist's publicity, but will be overwhelmed eager to try.

"Can we participate?" Jiang Lai asked bluntly.

Teacher Tang raised his eyebrows, "Why not? It didn't say graduate students, undergraduate students or high school students."

"But as for the work, is there time to create it now?" Liu Zhi unconsciously clenched his fists and began to think secretly.

"Today I will inform everyone about the news in the professional class. Anyone who is interested can try it, but I know that you two are the only ones in the class who are most likely to produce decent works. Whether it is your usual drawing or a new creation Yes, you can use them to try, but hurry up, the deadline is at the end of this month."

Jiang Lai clenched his fists secretly, then took out his phone from his pocket, "Understood, teacher, let me take a picture of this announcement first."

After a click, Jiang Lai quickly put the phone back into the inner pocket of the school uniform, and it was only then that Teacher Tang realized that this student was so bold that he actually used a prohibited electronic device in front of him.

However, Jiang Lai had already covered his pockets and strode far away, his brows and eyes were full of smiles, as if he was full of confidence in this event, Teacher Tang took a deep breath, turned his eyes and closed them, smiled and waved to let him go. They went back to the classroom first.

Jiang Lai and Liu Zhi walked in the corridor one after the other. From time to time, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the photo he just took to zoom in to see the details, then turned around and smiled and said to Liu Zhi, "I'll send you a copy too?"

Liu Zhi restrained his smile, moved the corners of his mouth, and said lightly, "No, thank you."

Polite, cold, distant.

Jiang Lai shrugged, and it happened that Sun Jingchen came up from the stairs after running, so Jiang Lai bid farewell to his new deskmate and went to attack his old deskmate.

Seeing Jiang Lai and Sun Jinghuan happily walking ahead, Liu Zhi was in a bad mood for no reason.

He suddenly discovered that the good things that belonged to him have been taken away bit by bit since Jiang Lai appeared.He also heard that Jiang Lai came in through connections, and he was not sure about it before, but just now witnessing Jiang Lai using his mobile phone in front of the teacher in front of his own eyes seems to confirm the authenticity of this statement.

Liu Zhi was a child who was loved by thousands of people since he was a child, and his journey went smoothly. Why should he be squeezed out by a related family at this time.

Think about how she and her childhood sweetheart Bai Xue are smiling like flowers beside Jiang Lai, and then think about how many times Teacher Tang gave Jiang Lai the green light, and this event, if there is no Jiang Lai, I will undoubtedly be the only one who can get it in the eyes of the teacher Students who produce works.

Although the chance of becoming one-tenth of the country's art students is very low, Liu Zhi feels restless and jealous for no reason when he thinks that Jiang Lai is among the people competing with him for that one-tenth.

Jiang Lai and Sun Jing exchanged homework and notes in the corridor, and went to make up their seats after entering the classroom.Liu Zhi, who arrived later, saw Jiang Lai writing the answers on his own paper while watching Sun Jing's problem-solving steps, and snorted softly.

"If you don't know how to do it, just let it go. How about you still have time to copy homework at this time?" Liu Zhi had a smile on his face, but his voice was cold.

Jiang Lai didn't care to raise his head, and wrote with the nib of his pen on the paper, "Well, I didn't dare to put down a pen after studying for more than an hour last night. I didn't expect it to be solved like this."

"Hmph." Liu Zhi curled his lips, took out his vocabulary book and pretended to read in the morning, but in his heart he just felt that Jiang Lai's excuse for copying his homework was too funny.

In fact, Jiang Lai had no hope of being able to hold an art exhibition with Mr. Shao Fanghua, but thought of giving it a try just because he thought this way of playing was very novel.

Moreover, he knew that he was passionate about other things for 3 minutes, but he was confident and daring to express himself only in painting, so he was really attracted to it.

In recent days, Jiang Lai has been preparing for the work.On Saturday, he took out all the paintings piled up in the warehouse to admire for himself.

With limited time and a busy schedule of studies, it would be too late to send out electronic materials to sign up for new creations at the end of the month, so he planned to choose one of the oil paintings in the last two months that fit the theme and sign up directly.

Jiang Lai was pacing in the yard, and he thought the circle of paintings around the walnut tree was pretty good. He walked around it again and again, and finally stopped in front of a gray canvas.

The last piece of work before school started, the gray sky was covered with clouds, and it was about to rain cats and dogs.

That is the most common weather in this ancient city in summer. There will be a heavy rain every evening, and then the light rain will patter until late at night. When I wake up the next morning, the city seems to be washed again. The air smells good and fresh, and I follow everywhere All became shiny.

Jiang Lai stood in front of the gray clouds he drew for a long time, unconsciously lost in thought.

Isn't this the relationship between myself and the world? I always think that I am facing a rainstorm, but in fact the rainstorm is very short. As long as I endure it, I will reap the boundless blue sky after the rainstorm.

He still remembers the situation when he painted the gray.That day, Bei Xiaowu next door to the courtyard wall was playing an annoying trumpet, shutting himself in the room and feeling uneasy about the upcoming new semester, and the quarrel with Jiang Bicheng before dropping out of school popped up in his head from time to time.

Whether it was impulsive, intentional to provoke Jiang Bicheng, or unintentional, he angrily confessed that he was gay to a living person, a person who in his opinion was an absolute authority.

Everything is like a thick cloud, pressing heavily on the chest, making it hard to breathe.

But he also knew that these things were just the most basic tests.Everyone who is about to enter adulthood will have a stage where they are afraid of this dark cloud and dare not stand on tiptoe and look up.

Jiang Lai clenched his fist unconsciously and clenched his back molars tightly. At that moment he made a decision - to be himself without hesitation.Instead of pretending to be very individual like before, I really hesitate in my heart.

But no matter how much trouble you encounter, you must give yourself time to stand on tiptoe, give yourself hope when you have no hope, give yourself a little attention when you don't pay attention, and understand yourself better when no one understands.

"Are you still thinking about it here?" Xue Man came out of the studio at some point and quietly stood behind Jiang Lai, admiring the painting in front of him together.

Jiang Lai was interrupted by the sudden voice, and was shocked, "Can you move over with a little noise?"

Xue Man tugged at a silk scarf tied around his neck, and pinned the hair hanging behind his ears, "I walked over while asking you if you look good, are you blaming me for being so dazed?"

Jiang Lai nodded perfunctorily, blinking his eyelashes, "It looks good, let's go, the smell of rice from Bei Xiao Wu's family has already wafted over."
