A box of light gray blue

The laundry room was so quiet that only the sound of the washing machine running could be heard.It is [-]:[-] in the morning, and only one of the washing machines neatly arranged in the laundry room is still spinning.The aunt in charge of the laundry room is waiting to get off work.

Xu Yan leaned against the wall, playing with his mobile phone while waiting for the washing machine to spin, and the dizziness also appeared at that time.He only felt that his eyes went dark, the ground under his feet seemed to be spinning, and something in his stomach was also churning.

The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

four hours ago.

Due to the absence of class in the afternoon, Xu Yan did not finish the sketching exercise in the evening well.Teacher Yu asked the students to take turns to be models, while the others had to quickly finish the drawing within 10 minutes.Everyone divided into four groups and sat down around the still life table.Xu Chang had only painted photos before, not real people, let alone one every 10 minutes.

The classroom was almost gone, only Fu Zhongzhou and Xu Wei were left.

"...you have to work overtime again today?"

Xu Yu didn't leave because he had to work overtime, but Fu Zhongzhou simply didn't notice that get out of class was over.He was wearing earphones and focused on drawing. When Xu Yan didn't leave, he subconsciously thought that get out of class hadn't finished yet.

By the time I took out my phone to check the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.

"Well," Xu Wei thought he was going to leave, "I still want to paint for a while, the things I drew at night are too ugly."

"You mean those classmates who are models?"

"……no."

Fu Zhongzhou packed up his things and was about to leave. He turned his head and looked at Xu Wei who was still drawing non-stop. After thinking for a while, he came back and sat down.

"Really, I haven't seen such a hardworking student for a long time."

Xu Chang kept his hands on the ground, "Don't talk to me in a teacher's tone." He kept his eyes fixed on his painting, although he didn't speak much, but the tension in his hands still revealed the anxiety in his heart.

Fu Zhongzhou approached and took off the earphones hanging on his ears. "Then... this classmate, do you need a model?"

As he spoke, he removed the photo of Xu Yu's head portrait that had been clipped to the side of the drawing paper, and his tone became more serious.

"What are you doing?" Xu Wei was interrupted by him, and turned around with some displeasure.

His tone was a bit unpleasant, but his expression was very stubborn.Fu Zhongzhou looked at him, and then gently took the blunt charcoal pencil from his hand. "Painting is not something that can be improved by working overtime and staying up all night." He said while picking up a knife, "The most important thing is to understand that you can't just look at the surface of the model, you have to observe the muscles and bones under the skin. .”

Xu Chang looked at his two hands sharpening the pen, and the tightness in his heart gradually eased.Fu Zhongzhou's fingers were very slender. He rested the tip of the pen on his right index finger, and pushed the blade with his thumb unhurriedly, peeling off the black charcoal core from the pen barrel bit by bit.

"...Thank you, I was too nervous." He sighed.

"You don't need to be so polite, tablemate." Fu Zhongzhou handed him the sharpened pen, "Let me be a guest model tonight."

"Okay, please have supper."

Torn paper, stickers.After Xu Yu prepared the tools, Fu Zhongzhou had already adjusted the lighting and sat on the high chair.

Although he knew that this man was good-looking, but the moment Xu Chang raised his head, he was still shocked by him.

Normally, Fu Zhongzhou's appearance could only be regarded as that of a handsome senior. Now that he took off his glasses, the dazzling light hit his face from the side, and Xu Chang really felt why he was so good-looking.

His high nose bridge and the slightly sunken position under the cheekbones look more three-dimensional under the strong light, and the dazzling light makes him half-downcast his eyes.He was sitting upright with his hands down, a strand of broken hair hanging on his forehead, his whole body was as solemn and beautiful as a sculpture.

Xu Yan couldn't think of any specific metaphors, he could only think of the plaster statue of Xiaowei placed on the locker.

Fu Zhongzhou saw him standing still, so he smiled at him.

"What? Isn't this angle okay?"

Xu Chang quickly retracted his gaze, "It's easier to draw on the three-quarter side, so turn it a little bit and don't look at me."

His guest model complied obediently, and while maintaining his posture, he did not forget to ask, "What's for supper?"

"You can eat whatever you want." Xu Huang finally avoided his direct gaze and began to write and draft.

"Can I wear headphones?"

"can."

Probably because it is Fu Zhongzhou, so Xu Chang drew it with extra care.When starting the model, he repeatedly determined the proportions of the facial features several times, and it took more than 40 minutes to start drawing light and shadow.

Fu Zhongzhou is very dedicated, and when he is tired from sitting, he closes his eyes and rests for a minute or two at most.

Once Xu Chang started to paint the details, his thoughts went far away from the painting.When he drew the corner of Fu Zhongzhou's mouth, he thought of his smiling face.Is he so popular with girls because he looks good when he smiles?When I draw the eyes, I can't help but think of the eyes shining on the stage.

He is obviously so popular, but he told him on the rooftop that he has no interest in socializing at all.

Xu Chang couldn't understand this deskmate anymore.

After an hour and a half, Xu Huang finally put down the drawing board.

"Thank you." He said to Fu Zhongzhou, patting the pencil dust on his hands.

Fu Zhongzhou's eyes lit up, "Did you finish the painting? Let me take a look."

He jumped off the high chair and walked around behind Xu Huang.

"Hmm...it's much better than the ones drawn in class." Fu Zhongzhou looked very satisfied, "Although the degree of completion is not very high, but...the paintings are very handsome."

"..."

Xu Yan was a little speechless, but still fulfilled the agreement and ordered a takeaway.

The school does not allow students to order takeaway food, so they can only sneak into the woods and let the delivery boy deliver it through the iron railing.

Two cups of milk tea, two skewers. The kebab shops in City C never close before two o'clock. Even if all the delivery guys in the city are off work, the shops still have ways to warm up the citizens.

The two of them were not too dirty, so they ate while sitting on the steps of the corridor.Open a thin layer of tinfoil, and the aroma of skewers overflows.Roast lamb, roast duck gizzards, squid skewers... served with choking extra-spicy chili powder, it is simply a masterpiece in the world.

"City's specialty nightlife," Fu Zhongzhou raised the skewer in his hand and touched his, "I'll take you out to experience it next time."

"I'll take you there next time" is not the first time Xu Wei has heard him say it. What is he doing?Accept him as a younger brother?

Thinking about it this way, Fu Zhongzhou doesn't seem to have any friends here.In other words, his friends are already preparing to go to college.

It seems to be a bit miserable.Thinking of this, Xu Chang pushed his skewer towards him.

"Why me again?" Xu Wei asked while taking a sip of milk tea, "Isn't it because you don't know other freshmen?"

"That's not true," Fu Zhongzhou hugged his knees and took a bite of squid skewers, "Because I really like you."

Xu Yu was stunned, a pearl milk tea stuck in his throat, choking him to cough hard.

It was only when he coughed until tears were about to flow out that he belatedly figured out what this sentence meant.

"I haven't seen such an interesting person for a long time," Fu Zhongzhou smiled and patted him on the back, not particularly aware of his abnormality. "It looks arrogant, but who knows that he is actually a good student who gets nervous every day if he doesn't draw."

Xu Wei wiped away the tears that didn't seem to exist, and avoided his hand, "Oh, you are also very interesting. Why don't your little fans know that you are a crying bag who hugs others when you are drunk?"

Fu Zhongzhou didn't seem to care at all, and couldn't help laughing at what he said.

As the night wind blew, his laughter put people in a good mood, and all those inexplicable pressures were left behind.Xu Yan also smiled and swept away the skewers contentedly.

Xu Chang, who originally planned to wash his clothes and go to bed, did not expect that he would lie down in the hospital because of this supper.

He is now lying on the hospital bed in the emergency room, his head is groggy, and the nerves in his whole body seem to have become particularly sensitive, and his whole body tingles when he moves a little.

"Slight food poisoning," the nurse said while applying medicine to the back of his hand, picked up the needle and shook it, "long-term lack of sleep, and still have a fever, are you young people making fun of your body like this now?"

Xu Yan leaned weakly on the pillow and watched the nurse insert the needle into the vein on the back of his hand without saying a word.

His first reaction was that he didn't know how long he was going to lie in the hospital, and his second reaction was whether something happened to Fu Zhongzhou.

He took out his mobile phone and sent several messages to the other party with difficulty, but got no response.He knew that his sudden illness was not just because he ate a not-so-clean supper against the wind, but when he thought of Fu Zhongzhou, he still felt a little flustered.Fu Zhongzhou looked very thin, and his physique was definitely not as good as his.

Xu Wei hesitated for a while, but still called him.

After seventeen long beeps, someone over there answered the phone.

"...Hey..." Fu Zhongzhou's voice was sleepy, vague, mixed with dissatisfaction of being woken up, as if he was raving in a dream, "Why..."
