City People [Rebirth]

Gao Zexin is preparing a college graduation gift for Lu Jia.

It was an oil painting, and he had been painting it for half a year, and he hadn't finished it for a long time, as if he was reluctant to part with it.

Gao Zexin's oil painting skills were only learned after going abroad.Although studying art is not the same as studying design, there are always similarities. Gao Zexin chose oil painting to study in order to add his own artistic cells and learn by analogy.Up to now, although they can't be called young painters, they can still get their hands on second paintings as gifts.

Perhaps because of the art design he studied, Gao Zexin has a particularly good grasp of the spatial structure, and his light and shadow processing can also make his oil painting teacher nod.But this is a gift for Lu Jia, and it cannot be overstated no matter how cautiously he paints, but the more he paints, the more reluctant he is.

He painted portraits of people, Lu Jia's youthful appearance in his memory.At that time, his face was still immature, full of rebellion and a little gloomy, he refused to wear school uniforms in school, skipping classes was commonplace, but his academic performance was exceptionally good, not like those bad guys The children seem to be fighting and making troubles, which makes the school a headache, so the adults still like him very much. They always feel that geniuses always have to be a little maverick.

That's why Gao Zexin hates him so much.Why, why should adults like them just because they have good grades and are obviously so disobedient, and they are going to be talked about by their parents?Even though Gao Zexin was older than Lu Jia, he hated his parents always saying the name of this neighbor.

While torturing himself with the past, he was reluctant to part with the unfinished painting in front of him.But no matter how slow the painting is, it still has to be sent out. Lu Jia will graduate in ten days, and he has to send it out before then.

He began to draw Lu Jia's pupils in the painting.He has never dared to take this step, because he was afraid of seeing Lu Jia's usual indifference in the pupils in the painting, and even revealing his thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Little by little, the pupils formed, and Gao Zexin broke out in a cold sweat.Lu Jia in the painting looks at him with mocking eyes like looking at a dead man.He didn't dare to look at it any more, covered the oil painting with a canvas, and called a courier to send the painting out.

It's good to send it in advance, but on the day of Lu Jia's graduation ceremony, he would not even want to see him.

……

Lu Jia was lying on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone. The game interface was suddenly replaced by the calling interface. After answering the phone, he found out that he had a courier. However, the courier was delivered to Lu’s house. Lu Jia said that he is not at home now. Let the family take care of it.

The courier said embarrassingly that the courier had to be signed for by himself.

Lu Jia said, "Okay, then please wait a moment, I'll go there right away."

He happened to go over to see his sister.

Lu Jia greeted Zhou Heyi, went to the kitchen to get the cheese butter finger biscuits made by Zhou Heyi, and then drove to Lu's house.

Since Lu Jia lived together with Zhou Heyi, she went home once a week to see her parents and her younger sister Lu Mu who was changing every day, and sometimes she would bring Lu Mu here to play.Lu Mu is three years old this year. He is smart and smart. His IQ and EQ are much higher than ordinary children. When he comes here to play, he won't make a fuss and is very cute. So Zhou Heyi also welcomes her to play here. This little girl's mouth , it's sweet.

Among the Lu family members, apart from Lu Jia, Lu Mu is the one who most hopes that Lu Jia can be with Zhou Heyi for a long time, because she is a small fan of Zhou Heyi, a snack food lover, and a cheese addict. abducted.

Lu Jia was not jealous either.In her previous life, Lu Mu was not so happy and free from distracting thoughts. At that time, she was very precocious, and she knew the situation of her family and why she was born very early. It's just that she felt very sorry for Lu Jia, who was an older brother. After knowing Du Zhixuan and Lu Wenlin's early years After his behavior, he also developed hostility toward them, so he was preoccupied and sharp-edged at a young age, but now he is so simple, he doesn't have to worry about his family business and his brother, how good it is.

The courier had been waiting at the door of Lu's house. Lu Jia saw that it was a half-meter-long board wrapped up. After signing for it, he carried it into the house. When he opened it, a letter fell out first.He picked it up and opened it, and there was a line of words and a signature on it:

Happy Graduation!

Gao Zexin.

Lu Jia felt some complicated and unspeakable emotions.

At the beginning, he only took Gao Zexin as a labor force, and his friends' words could be counted, but he never expected that Gao Zexin would have that kind of affection for him. Obviously, he would only talk to this person and never talk about it. A little warmth.

When Gao Zexin returned from studying abroad three years ago, Lu Jia brought Zhou Heyi and Gao Zexin to meet as he said at the beginning, but he found that his boyfriend and Gao Zexin, a friend, were not interested in each other.After that, on Valentine's Day, he and Zhou Heyi went to the bar to play, and happened to meet a drunk Gao Zexin. Perhaps because he was drunk, Gao Zexin actually confessed to him in front of the two of them.

Zhou Heyi had known it for a long time and was unmoved, but Gao Zexin woke up after speaking and ran away. After that, they rarely saw each other, and it was difficult to have a pleasant conversation when they met.

To say that you can still be friends after breaking up, you have to have no other thoughts, let alone such a confession.The relationship between Lu Jia and Gao Zexin is just about sending blessings to each other during the festival. If Lu Jia is so lazy, they still send them in groups.

Lu Jia didn't know how Gao Zexin was feeling, but he didn't care much about it himself.He was big-hearted at first, and he didn't feel ashamed of him, so he lived his life as he should. This time, he was stunned because he couldn't remember when he met Gao Zexin last time.This person seems to have withdrawn from his life.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zexin would remember to give Lu Jia a graduation gift.

Lu Jia took a knife and began to unpack the package.The package was tightly packed, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and it was also tightly wrapped with tape. After unpacking it, Lu Jia discovered that it was a half-meter oil painting, which was exactly him.

Lu Jia in the painting is a bust, wearing a black sweater without any pattern, with one hand propping his chin, his face is slightly facing to the left, his eyes are slightly closed, and his eyes are scanning downwards. Behind Jia, there is also a large shadow side, gloomy and bleak.

Lu Jia was a little dazed, this was not the self he was familiar with.Now the shadow in his heart has almost disappeared, he can face his parents calmly, love and accept, and with Zhou Heyi's company by his side, he always has warmth on his body.The him Gao Zexin painted is more like the him in his previous life, the one who was burning with a black flame of hatred in his heart and didn't feel that there was any pleasure in the world.

Lu Jia took another look at the painting, then moved the painting into his room, placed it face inward, and covered it with another piece of cloth.In his heart, he didn't want people to see this side of him, not even a portrait.

Lu Mu went to kindergarten.She was in the elite class.In fact, both Lu Wenlin and Du Zhixuan didn't want her to stay with five or six-year-old children in some elite class and learn so many things. They felt that there was a son who was so smart that they couldn't understand the feeling of children looking at them with admiration. That's enough, her daughter Mu Mu can grow up normally, she doesn't know or like to learn something, and complains to them about her grades with a distressed face, but Lu Mu's IQ is very high, and she is willing to learn. Accept the knowledge that she doesn't understand, so after a compromise, let her go.

The parents sighed in unison when they thought about the scene where their daughter would keep skipping grades in the future, and a child would be mixed in with the adults.

The elite class was over, and the chubby little girl in a cute pink dress ran towards the house from the door. She saw her brother's car there!Brother is back, brother is coming to see her!

As soon as the door opened, Lu Mu saw Lu Jia stand up from the sofa and open his arms towards her.

As soon as Lu Mu took off, he jumped into Lu Jia's arms, and then Lu Jia threw her into the sky, playing a game of "throwing high".After lifting it a few times, Lu Jia rubbed his arms pretendingly, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why do you feel that Mu Mu is sinking again? Brother won't be able to lift Mu Mu if this continues!"

Lu Mu won't get hurt, she said proudly: "It's okay, although I'm heavy now, it's because I have to hurry up and eat well, when I care about my figure in the future, I will naturally lose weight !"

"Yo, you still know your figure."

"Oh, who am I, I'm as smart as my brother. Brother, I smell the butter cheese finger biscuits on your body, quickly take out the gift from Brother Heyi! Think about it, I have to be vegetarian when I grow up, Going on a diet and exercising all the time makes me sad, so sad that I can eat a catty of biscuits!"

Lu Jia conjured a bag of biscuits from behind like a magic trick, and handed it to Lu Mu: "Only eat three, or you won't be able to eat any more for dinner."

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Lu Mu went to wash his hands, came back and sat on the sofa, tied a bib for himself, opened the biscuit bag, tapped his fingers back and forth in the air, and carefully selected three biscuits that she thought were the biggest, and held them in his hands cherishingly. , chewing in small bites.Seeing that she was eating deliciously, Lu Jia couldn't help but took a piece from her tightly guarded bag and ate it.Although Lu Mu's face was pained, he didn't say anything.

She couldn't help feeling sorry for her brother, and she knew that brother He Yi listened to her brother, if he would be stingy, he would lose more.

Lu Wenlin came over and said to Lu Mu, "Mu Mu, can you give Dad a piece?"

Lu Mu shook his head vigorously and said, "Not good."

"But why did you give it to brother?"

"Dad, you don't know how to be ashamed. Dad is an adult, but my brother is still a child!"
