are you a cat

For the painting for the other two fans, Ye Chen drew it very quickly, and each took a rest day to complete the painting when he had ideas.

But the painting for the self-proclaimed Xu Yuxing fan has been dragging on.

Obviously the Lord is by his side, but Ye Chen has no idea.

It may be that the atmosphere of that photo is already very good.

In the album, several line drawings related to Xu Yuxing were drafted, with various angles and compositions, but Yechen was still not satisfied.

He kept procrastinating until August.

After entering August, the weather finally cleared up, and the sun was in the sky. Standing under the sun seemed to melt people, and each app pushed news related to high temperature warnings every now and then.

Due to the hot weather and high-intensity training, the students in the studio gradually became impetuous. Some skipped classes, and some completed homework according to the minimum standard or simply refused to hand in homework.

Especially in the past two days, the air conditioner in their classroom was also broken, and no matter how much the electric fan was used, the students' impatience and anxiety could not be removed.

Under this influence, even Yechen couldn't concentrate for as long as before, and his drawing efficiency dropped a lot.

Naturally, the studio teacher also noticed the overall atmosphere among the students, and decided to take everyone to sketch in the mountains to relax and escape the heat.

"Sketch?" Xu Yuxing turned his head when he heard the words, "Where are you going?"

Yechen was sitting in the co-pilot, with an open painting album on his lap. Xu Yuxing glanced at the black and white ink paintings on it. Yechen turned a page and looked up at him: "Qingcheng."

Qingcheng is located in the southwest of a county-level city managed by Rongcheng. It is a national 5A-level tourist attraction. It is surrounded by verdant forests and evergreen in all seasons.

With dense vegetation and fresh air, Qingcheng is the first choice for Rongcheng residents to escape the summer heat. At the same time, because of its beautiful scenery, various studios often organize students to sketch. There are two sketching bases at the foot of the mountain.

Yechen not only followed Mr. Yu to write life, but also went to play with Deng Xing and Bai Jingping twice, so he is quite familiar with Qingcheng.

Xu's family is not a native of Rongcheng, because Xu's father and Xu's mother like Rongcheng's culture and lifestyle, and gradually shifted their focus of work to the south. After Xu Yuxing was in junior high school, he settled here. Later, he stayed abroad all year round. city ​​but never been there.

The main reason is because he is lazy, every time the family prevents him from going out, he is willing to squat at home and practice the piano.

Xu Yu drove into the underground garage and asked Ye Chen, "When are you going?"

The notice from the studio is to leave next Monday, and the students have reserved time on Sunday to pack their luggage.

In fact, if you have a sketching base, you can rent or buy painting tools, but you also have the tools you are used to. Except for hardware such as drawing boards and chairs, you still bring your own paint brushes.

He was packing his things here, and Xu Yuxing was going in and out of his room as if he was going out tomorrow.

"Qingcheng is humid, there must be a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains, you prepare two sets of long clothes and trousers." He squatted beside Yechen's suitcase, and rummaged through the two pitiful sets of clothes in his suitcase, "You Is it too little?"

If Xu Yuxing went on a long trip for seven days, he could fill the suitcase with just his clothes.

Ye Chen only brought a few T-shirts and a coat.

It was not the first time for Yechen to go out to sketch, so he naturally knew how much to bring, so he didn't bother to talk to Xu Yuxing, and got up to organize the toiletries.

When he came back, Xu Yuxing had already stuffed a few clothes into his suitcase without authorization, and they were all long-sleeved.

Meeting his speechless gaze, Xu Yuxing said, "It's cooler over there in the morning and evening, so don't catch a cold by wearing more clothes."

Yechen: "..."

The distance between Qingcheng and Rongcheng is only about [-] kilometers, how much difference can there be if there is a temperature difference?

A jacket is enough.

Xu Yuxing went out again and got him an umbrella: "By the way, Xiaochen, I read that the weather forecast said that there might be rain next week, so take your umbrella."

Yechen raised the raincoat in his hand: "It's inconvenient to hold an umbrella."

After a while, he came in with a folded plastic bucket: "Children, why don't you bring a bucket for soaking your feet? Your feet are so tired after walking up and down the mountains all day."

Yechen said indifferently, "Thank you, no need."

Two minutes later, he squatted opposite Yechen: "Hey, Xiaochen—"

"Are you annoyed?" Yechen was so annoyed that he pulled his face and threw the things in his hands into the suitcase, and started to chase people away, "Get out."

"I--"

As soon as Xu Yuxing started, Ye Chenti slid his arms and pulled him from the ground, driving him out of the room.

Xu Yuxing: "Xiaochen, I am concerned about you."

Yechen: "Thank you."

Normally, Ye Chen would have packed his luggage by himself, because Xu Yuxing made troubles like this and that, which greatly reduced his efficiency.

He turned around, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw the puppet cat running into the box.

He drove Ning Ning out, and within 2 minutes Ning Ning stepped into the suitcase while he was not paying attention, squatted on the clothes and looked at him.

Yechen chased it away again, and when he turned around to pick up something, it had already stepped in with one foot, and Yechen caught it squarely.

Ning Ning and Ye Chen looked at each other, and kept still with one foot on the suitcase.

Seeing that Yechen didn't move for a long time, it stepped in with its hind feet very leisurely. After the whole cat sat in, it still tilted its head at Yechen like a cute one, and meowed sweetly.

Ye Chen laughed angrily.

When Xu Yuxing was around, Ning Ning was very well-behaved, squatting quietly by the side to watch Ye Chen pack up her things, only her little head was spinning around.

As soon as Xu Yuxing left, it was good, so he burrowed into his box whenever he had time.

This person and one cat made trouble for him as if they had made an appointment.

Just when Xu Yuxing knocked on the door, Yechen bent down to pick Ningning up.

Xu Yuxing prepared a small medicine bag for Yechen, which contained some cold medicine and other things to repel mosquitoes and relieve itching.

"Xiaochen, take this with you." He handed out the medicine bag as soon as the door opened.

Ning Ning was held up in the air by Ye Chen's armpit, and pulled out a long cat.

It looked at Xu Yuxing, and its tail swung slowly in the air twice.

Xu Yuxing glanced at its wagging tail, then moved his gaze up to Yechen's face.

Yechen stuffed the cat into his arms, and said angrily, "Don't bother me."

After speaking, close the door.

Xu Yuxing was stunned, and knocked on the door with his fingers: "Xiaochen, medicine bag."

Two seconds after the words were finished, the door swung open again, Ye Chen snatched the medicine bag from him with a sullen face, and locked it quickly without giving Xu Yuxing a chance to speak.

"Meow~" Ning Ning called softly.

Xu Yuxing looked down at it, and it also raised its head to meet his gaze.

The next day, I gathered at the studio at nine o'clock and set off for Qingcheng. I didn't have to get up early as usual, and I could have breakfast at home before going out.

Ye Chen took a steamed bun, and Xu Yuxing put a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge by his hand: "Have you checked everything?"

People who learn to paint sit in front of their easels for hours at a time, and young people of seventeen or eighteen are just at the age when they don't care about their posture, so they are prone to hunchbacks.

But Yechen's back is straight most of the time when he is sitting, even if he is tired and relaxed sometimes, he will straighten up quickly.

He has never talked much, especially when eating, his eyes are slightly drooping, he bites a steamed bun and occasionally scoops a spoonful of porridge, without making the sound of chewing food.

He was eating, and suddenly raised his eyelids to look at Xu Yuxing: "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Different from Ye Chen, Xu Yuxing is just as comfortable as he is. The bowl in front of him is already empty, and he is lazily leaning on the back of the chair with only one arm loosely resting on the dining table. How do you know I'm looking at you if you don't look at me?"

Every time Yechen met his rascal appearance, he didn't mind, so he rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Xu Yuxing put the last steamed bun in the cage into his bowl: "Eat more, you won't be hungry on the way later."

It takes less than two hours to take the bus from Rongcheng to Qingcheng, which is really impossible.

But Yechen didn't want to talk to him, so he silently finished eating and put the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.

Xu Yuxing sent him to the studio to gather.

A cooperative travel agency came to pick them up from the studio, and the car stopped downstairs. When they arrived, there were already a lot of people in the car, and there were a few private cars parked beside them. They were parents who sent their children here like Xu Yuxing.

After the teacher finished roll call and was about to leave, Xu Yuxing reminded Yechen: "Send me a message when you arrive."

Ye Chen nodded.

After getting in the car, he found a seat by the window, and just as he sat down, he was knocked on the window, and Yechen opened the window.

Xu Yuxing held a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it up. He never let Yechen smoke second-hand smoke.

While talking, the cigarette flicked up and down: "Be careful during the training camp, and send me a message every night when you return to the hotel to report that you are safe."

Whether it was voluntary or forced, Chen became independent very early, not to mention just going to Qingcheng, which is not too far away. He has been going out to play alone during the winter and summer vacations since junior high school.

Yu Xin and Ye Zeyang sometimes don't even know where he has gone, Deng Xing and Bai Jingping are too late to play by themselves, and no one has ever warned him before going out.

Although he thought Xu Yuxing was long-winded, he still nodded, "If I remember."

In short, there is no way to honestly accept other people's kindness.

The bus started slowly, Yechen turned his head and Xu Yuxing was standing beside the car smoking a cigarette, noticing his gaze and waving at him.

It wasn't until the bus turned the corner that Xu Yuxing was completely out of sight, and Yechen looked away.

When he came back to his senses, the sketchbook had already outlined the outline of a character leaning on an off-road vehicle and holding a cigarette between his fingers.

"Brothers, how is the change this time?" Shao Fan shook his head following the music.

He is connected to the computer on the keyboard, and is playing the final version of the arrangement that he has revised twice.

Fang Wan followed the rhythm: "I think it's okay."

It’s okay, it means less than [-] points above the passing line.

Shen Mu kicked her feet, and the chair wheel slid to Shao Fan's side, and she directly pulled back the progress bar of the music playback: "This section is better than the previous one after being revised, but I still feel that it is almost the same. Little How do you think?"

Wen Zhihao, who was named, nodded.

"Actually, I also think this part is almost too close," Shao Fan called out another demo, "I also changed a version, listen to it."

The other version added electronic music, which is more soothing and quiet, and tends to be post-rock.

Everyone listened and shook their heads together: "Not very good."

Shao Fan fell into a bottleneck.

He collapsed and threw himself into the sofa: "I really can't do it anymore, I can't write."

"Brother, what should I do?" He came to his senses after speaking, and asked strangely, "Why haven't you left yet?"

On Xu Yuxing's lap was the sheet music that had been revised several times, and the red carbon pen was spinning between his fingers: "Where am I going?"

"Go and pick up Xiaochen from get out of class." Shao Fan said.

Ever since Yechen started training, Xu Yuxing was always the first person to leave the studio.

"Didn't I tell you?" Xu Yuxing took the violin and tried to play a new song, "The kid followed the studio to Qingcheng to sketch."

"Sketch..." Shao Fan fell on the sofa, looked at the chandelier above his head and said silently twice, then suddenly sat up, "Let's go too!"

Xu Yuxing stopped to look at him, and the more Shao Fan thought about it, the more he felt it made sense: "Let's go collect folk songs."

Those who engage in creation will always encounter various bottlenecks after frequent output. If they stay in the studio and scratch their heads, they can’t write a good song or can’t write a good song. Why don’t they go out for a walk, clear their minds and see if they can collide? Come up with new inspiration or collect useful materials.

The teammates had no objection, Shao Fan asked: "Then let's think about where to go?"

Xu Yuxing's phone that was left on the sofa turned on, and it was Yechen who replied to his previous message.

Xu Yuxing typed: Haven't slept yet?

Ye Chen: Getting ready for bed, I just finished playing cards with my classmates.

Qingcheng is a mountain, and the front mountain is basically a scenic spot. There are not so many cultural relics and historic sites in the back mountain, and the scenery is better. The tourist facilities in the mountain are complete, and there are many hotels.

But also because it is a mountain, it is not like an ancient town where you can go shopping in the night market or something. When you enter the night mountain road, the road is rugged and dangerous, so you can only play in the hotel or go to the hot spring.

However, although the temperature drops after nightfall on the mountain, even wearing short-sleeved clothes feels a bit cold, but it is August after all, and there are not many people going to the hot springs.

Going out to sketch is also considered relaxing for art students. You don’t have to sit in front of the easel from opening to closing your eyes like in the studio. Basically, everyone is free to move around at night.

The boy who lived with Yechen was bored and went to the front desk to buy a deck of cards. He called two people over to Fight the Landlord, and the three of them dragged Yechen in.

In fact, Yechen's roommate was too skilled, so he was called out halfway, so he gave Yechen the cards and asked him to help him play.

In the end, when he came back after solving the matter, he found that classmate Yechen's card skills were quite good, so he pestered Yechen and called him brother and father, and asked Yechen to take him to fly.

A group of children don't gamble, and put stickers on their faces when they lose.

Xu Yuxing asked him, "Did you win?"

Putting down the phone, Ye Chen looked at himself in the glasses covered in notes.

No matter how good your card skills are, you are afraid of encountering a pig teammate who can't drag you.

He was about to take off the note that flew up into the sky when he breathed out, when he suddenly heard: "Don't move!"

The roommate of the pig teammate also came over with a note sticking to his face after seeing off his cardmate, happily holding his mobile phone to take a selfie with Yechen.

After shooting, not only sent it to Yechen, but also sent a circle of friends with a spirit of sharing.

So what Xu Yuxing received was not a two-word reply like "win" or "no", but a photo.

The strange boy in the photo has a silly look on his face.

And Yechen's face was full of notes, but he couldn't stop his angry eyes.

Xu Yuxing smiled, saved that photo, and imported it into Photoshop software to cut out Ye Chen and make it into a wallpaper.

After setting, send a screenshot to Yechen for viewing.

Yechen replied with a long series of question marks: Are you sick? ? ?

Xu Yuxing: How cute.

Ye Chen wished he could crawl out along the screen and strangle the person opposite him to death.
