out of order

Lin Tianyin is the most famous painter in Shunyan City. There are only two kinds of students under him, either brilliant or extremely rich. Bai Fu belongs to the first type.

Bai Fu was quite thin, and he was not conspicuous in the crowd. On the first day he came to the Lin Fu Art Garden, he chose to sit in the corner of the studio, as if he didn't want others to notice him, but unfortunately things backfired. The younger brother took the initiative to find him.

"Are you the teacher's new student?" The leading boy put his arms in front of Bai Fu's desk and leaned forward to ask him.

Bai Fu didn't say a word, it was a tacit agreement.

"It doesn't look like a rich family." Another boy said after looking at Bai Fu.

"Since you can come to our place, you must have some skills. Come, let me see your paintings!"

The leading boy reached out to take the painting, but Bai Fu moved back the painting scroll that he was practicing in class.Unexpectedly, this move annoyed several people. One of the teenagers walked around behind him and snatched the scroll. Bai Fu wanted to get up but was held down by another teenager. The teenager holding the painting casually opened the scroll.

"That's all! Come and see!"

Several people gathered around, pulling the drawing paper in a hurry.

"Give it back to me." Bai Fu raised his head and looked at the young man in charge, and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"You hide it like this, I still treat it as a treasure, it turns out that you are at this level. Why did the teacher accept you?" The leading boy was very disdainful, "This kind of painting is not worthy of appearing in our art garden! After all, he was about to throw away the painting with a wave of his hand.

"What are you doing!"

A bright male voice came from behind, and all the teenagers turned their heads.Through the gap, Bai Fu saw a tall and straight boy with a face like Haoyue walking towards them.

"Yun Yi! You're here!"

"It's been a long time since you came to the painting garden. Where have you been these few days?"

Seeing who was coming, the youngsters who were messing around just now dropped their scrolls, and with flattering smiles, surrounded the young man called Yun Yi.Bai Fu picked up the scrolls and arranged them carefully.Yun Yi looked at Bai Fu with great interest, and after Bai Fu exchanged a glance with him, he lowered his head and went about his own business again.

In the Linfu Painting Garden, Gu Yunyi is always the focus.Although he is not a son of a wealthy family, he is loved by teachers and students because of his superb painting skills, straightforward and free-spirited person, and his handsome appearance.Bai Fu was just the opposite. He kept a low profile and barely passed every painting test. At the beginning, some people expressed curiosity about him, but over time, no one cared about him.

Bai Fu seemed satisfied with the status quo, until one day Gu Yunyi suddenly appeared in front of him, breaking his original calm.

"Hey, why don't you draw seriously?"

After a day of painting study, Bai Fu packed up his painting tools and walked out of the painting garden as usual, but Gu Yunyi was already waiting outside.

"What?" Bai Fu was taken aback.

"You can draw very well, but you deliberately hide your strength every time. Why?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Bai Fu didn't want to get entangled with him, and walked around him, but Gu Yunyi didn't expect to follow him.

"Where is your home?"

Bai Fu didn't speak, but just walked.But Gu Yunyi was not willing to let him go easily, and followed him all the way, asking him questions from time to time.At first Bai Fu could pretend not to hear, but gradually lost his composure.

"Master Gu, what are you doing with me?"

"Finally talking?" Gu Yunyi twitched his brows slightly, and said with a smile that is unique to young people, "However, I am not some young master, just call me Yun Yi."

Seeing that he was about to remain silent again, Gu Yunyi hurriedly said again: "Bai Fu, you will be kicked out of the painting garden if you continue like this. I heard Mr. Lin privately say that he was wrong at the beginning, and he doesn't want to teach you anymore."

"It's fine to leave the painting garden." Bai Fu said calmly.

"why?"

"I don't want to learn to paint."

"If you don't want to learn, why did you come here?" Yun Yi was surprised

Bai Fu didn't answer him, but stopped in front of a row of bungalows.

"I am home."

Gu Yunyi followed him into one of the rooms, and saw that the walls in front of him were very dilapidated, and there was nothing else in the narrow room except for a few necessary living utensils.

"where is your family?"

"I have no family."

The two fell into a brief silence.Uncharacteristically, Bai Fu spoke first: "It's okay, it's been a long time ago. Sit down wherever you want, but my house doesn't have anything to entertain you."

"Then I'm welcome."

Yun Yi opened the chair and sat at the table, looking as if he was going to stay for dinner, Bai Fu looked funny and helpless, what a cheeky guy, he thought.Bai Fu had no choice but to prepare dinner, and Yun Yi sat and chatted with him.

"Bai Fu, why don't you want to learn painting?" Just as Bai Fu was serving the porridge and pickles on the table, Yun Yi asked him seriously.

"You can also see that in my situation, life is a problem, let alone painting. I am very grateful to Mr. Lin for accepting me as an apprentice and waiving my tuition fees, but I really don't want to insist anymore. "

"that is it?"

"Is that not enough?"

"I thought you didn't like painting anymore." Yun Yi's expression relaxed, "If that's the case, you don't have to worry. Someone already wants to buy my paintings. If you get the money, I'll share half of it with you. You concentrate on it." Just paint."

"Why are you doing this?"

"You are so strange. When others help you, you still have to ask why."

"Obviously you're the one who is weird! We don't know each other well, why are you meddling in your business? I don't want your charity." The self-esteem of young people is always extremely sensitive, and Bai Fu became a little displeased, and his words became mean.

"Who wants to give you alms? The money was just lent to you first. When you become a great painter in the future, you have to pay me back with interest!" Yun Yi shrugged, laughed softly, his eyes were clear and tender. No malice.Seeing him like this, Bai Fu could hardly get angry anymore.

"Why do you think I'm hiding my painting skills?"

"Every time I pass the drawing test, I pass Mr. Lin's minimum standard. It's not easy to be so precise."

"Based on this, you can conclude?"

"Hahaha, of course not. Although you hide it in every possible way, I still found out once." Yun Yi approached him and said mysteriously.

"Which time?"

"Do you remember when Mr. Lin asked us to paint morning lotuses in the summer? I watched you secretly at that time. At first you painted lotus pictures on paper, with clear and elegant colors and appropriate shades, but later you Added a layer of ink, deliberately making the whole painting a little thicker. Since then, I have confirmed my guess, you don't want others to discover your true painting skills."

Bai Fu didn't expect Gu Yunyi to notice him so early.

"Since you found out a long time ago, why are you asking me now?"

"I'm just curious, and I'm satisfied when I get the answer. As for why you did this, that's your business. I didn't want to care about it at first, but now Mr. Lin has the idea of ​​letting you leave the painting garden, so I have to come Remind you."

"I didn't expect you to be so warm-hearted." Bai Fu was a little moved, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"I didn't expect you to laugh too!"

"Of course!"

Gu Yunyi used extremely exaggerated movements, pretending to be surprised, which made Bai Fu burst out laughing.

What a strange fellow!

Fate encounters always appear suddenly, and then come to an abrupt end unexpectedly.Bai Fu did not expect that this conversation was the beginning of their friendship, nor did he expect that only ten years later, the name Gu Yunyi could only be buried in memories that he did not want to touch.
