A box of light gray blue

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, the dark studio became restless.Brother Sheng didn't make things difficult for them, he waved his hand to collect the homework, and then turned around and left the studio.

Fu Zhongzhou chased him out anxiously.Xu Chang glanced at it, and saw Fu Zhongzhou standing outside the door from a distance, throwing a bunch of keys over, and he caught them firmly.

Xu Yu suddenly remembered Fu Zhongzhou's words, and celebrated his birthday with him after ten o'clock.He dried the painting and handed it in, turned around and picked up his schoolbag and was about to leave.

"Hey, don't you work overtime today?" Lou Zhuo said hey twice, got up and asked him to go out, "Come on, come on."

He coughed twice in embarrassment and ignored her, and when he looked up, he saw Fu Zhongzhou turning the key and snapping his fingers at him across two rows of easels.There were quite a lot of students around, and someone looked at him suspiciously.

Xu Wei didn't dare to stay for a moment, and slipped out with her bag like Cinderella who stepped on her way home.

"Where are you going?" He and Fu Zhongzhou walked out of the studio, and saw a small box at the door, which looked like an ordered cake.

"The basement." Fu Zhongzhou lifted the box and smiled softly at him.He was a little abnormal today, walking away without holding someone's shoulder.

Xu Chang followed him down the stairs.It was the time when the evening classes were over, and a group of students came downstairs jogging and laughing, mixed with the smell of cigarettes and one or two swear words.

He stared at Fu Zhongzhou's hairy head illuminated by the light, "Do you...do you have to go to a place like the basement to eat cake?"

"It's quiet there." Fu Zhongzhou turned his head and blinked, "I don't want to be disturbed."

Xu Chang was taken aback, not knowing what he meant.

Walking from the fifth floor to the first floor, those noisy voices gradually disappeared.The door lock in the basement smelled of rust, and it took a long time for the key to open the lock.There was a rattling sound of iron chains, and the two of them pulled the door open together.

I didn’t think it was weird to come here during the day, but at this moment there was only one electric light in the basement, and the pale light shone on those scattered plaster faces. The studios on both sides were pitch black, which was indeed a bit scary.

Xu Yu couldn't control his rich imagination, his expression was normal, but his hands were tightly clutching Fu Zhongzhou's clothes.

"Are you afraid?" Fu Zhongzhou looked back at him with some doubts.

"No, I'm afraid you might fall." Xu Chang pushed him in with a cold face.

Snapped.

The studio lights were turned on.It was still the same as it was when Xu Yu came last time. Fu Zhongzhou's easel was placed in the middle, two chairs were scattered around the empty space, and a plaster statue of Molière stood quietly by the wall.

Fu Zhongzhou moved a high chair and put the cake on it. "Sit down, you said you came to celebrate my birthday with me."

Xu Chang was a little taken aback.

Although Fu Zhongzhou told him that it was not his birthday, he thought that no matter what, he would have a good night with his friends.He thought the basement was the secret party Fu Zhongzhou found.

"Is there no one else?" He looked around in embarrassment.

"Do you think this cake is enough for three people?" Fu Zhongzhou carefully opened the box, revealing the small and attractive cake inside.

Really only enough for two people.

This is interesting, Brother Zhou, who is called and hugged by his good brothers, actually only wants him to accompany him on his birthday.Xu Chang touched his nose, moved a stool and sat opposite Fu Zhongzhou.

"where's my gift?"

Fu Zhongzhou propped his elbows on his knees and smiled at him with his chin in his hand.His glasses were pushed up to his forehead, and a pair of eyes that captivated the girl in translation were looking at him with a smile.

The atmosphere is not good.Xu Yu once again regretted agreeing to celebrate his birthday with him, pursed his lips and took out the small paper bag from his bag.

The paper bag was well protected by him, without a single crease.Xu Yu yelled to the sky in his heart, swearing that he had never prepared a gift for others so carefully.

"Let's say it first, the customized payment cannot be refunded, and if you don't like it, keep it for me." He stuffed the paper bag into Fu Zhongzhou's hand, and said it casually, but his heart was tightened with tension.

He quietly stared at Fu Zhongzhou's expression, and subconsciously swallowed.He watched Fu Zhongzhou's fingertips turned slightly white, removed a small piece of tape used for sealing, and then took out the small velvet box from the paper bag.

His hand paused slightly.Xu Chang thought he didn't like it, and his whole body tensed up.

"This is..." Fu Zhongzhou pinched the small square box in his hand with a complicated expression, as if examining some family heirloom.

"Lighter," Xu Yu's answer was already a little nonsense, "I guess you should like it, so I bought it, maybe it's not suitable for you..."

When Fu Zhongzhou heard the word "lighter", he glanced at Xu Yu ignorantly, with a wonderful expression on his face.

"Ah... a lighter," he took three seconds to manage his expression, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I thought it was a ring, it scared me."

Xu Yu was in a cold sweat, and complained about the boss in his heart with some resentment.

The exquisite retro lighter was taken out, Fu Zhongzhou put the cold little thing in his hand, and looked at it over and over again.

"This watch movement is too beautiful." He raised his eyebrows lightly, his fingers brushed over the uneven gears, and then groped for the notch of the cluster of roses. "And this rose, it's really beautiful."

He got up and turned off the light.Xu Yan was lost in the darkness for a moment, he looked back with the light of the phone screen.Fu Zhongzhou carefully opened the cover, and his slender fingers flicked lightly on the rollers on the side.

There was a soft "呲", a beam of flames burst out from the darkness, and the red light shone on the faces of the two.

Fu Zhongzhou approached, almost sending the flames in front of Xu Wei.Xu Chang sat on the chair, and Fu Zhongzhou stood and leaned against the back of the chair behind him.The two were very close, probably because of the temperature of the flames, which made Xu Wei feel his cheeks were hot.

"Thank you."

The voice of the person in front of him was soft, like a kiss slowly passing over the skin.

Xu Chang froze in place, but Fu Zhongzhou moved the lighter.The flame slanted and deformed slightly under his movements, and finally stopped by the candle again.

There was only one candle on the cake, and it stood squarely among the strawberries.Fu Zhongzhou leaned over to light it, and the wax melted and dripped down.

Snapped.

There was a sound of metal clashing, and the flames were extinguished.

Xu Yan was a little lost, staring at the only light source in the darkness.Fu Zhongzhou silently sat back opposite him, with his hands folded.

"Then I'm going to make a wish."

His eyelashes fluttered twice, his eyes seemed to be asking Xu Wei for instructions.

"Well, I'll turn on the light after you blow out the candles."

"Aren't you going to sing me the birthday song?" Fu Zhongzhou tilted his head dissatisfied, "You are the only guest today, if you don't sing, I will have to sing by myself."

Sing?Xu Yu cleared his throat in embarrassment.Although he is not tone-deaf, he is always a little embarrassed to sing in this situation.

He wanted to evade and fool him, but when he looked up, he saw Fu Zhongzhou looking at him very stubbornly, so he scratched his head.

"Don't laugh if you can't sing well." He glared at Fu Zhongzhou and took a deep breath.

Happy birthday to you……

Happy birthday to you……

A gentle and deep singing voice flowed from his chest, Xu Yu's voice was emotionless, but it was so soothing that it didn't look like he was singing a birthday song, but rather like singing some kind of bitter love song.

Fu Zhongzhou hugged his knees, stepped on the edge of the chair, and listened to his singing with great enjoyment.

"It's over." After singing a song, Xu Chang touched the tip of his nose with a blushing face.He looked up and saw Fu Zhongzhou's mesmerized look, and suddenly felt a little funny.

"Do you still make a wish?"

Fu Zhongzhou came back to his senses after being called out by him, and twitched the corners of his mouth in a daze. "It sounds so good, I forgot to hear it."

He closed his eyes decently, clasped his fingers together and made a wish, then opened his eyes and blew out the candle.

The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, only a beam of moonlight came through half of the window.

Xu Chang fumbled for the phone, trying to turn on the flashlight.As soon as he stood up and touched the mobile phone in his pocket, he was suddenly hugged from in front of him.He was startled, subconsciously wanted to push the person away, and reached out to touch Fu Zhongzhou's arm.

"Ah, it seems a bit off."

Fu Zhongzhou chuckled lightly and pressed his voice close to his ear.

Both of them were wearing short sleeves, Xu Huang's chin was resting on his shoulder, and his nose was filled with the pleasant smell of washing powder.Xu Yu was hugged by him suddenly, his heart almost jumped out.

He couldn't see anything, his upper body was surrounded by Fu Zhongzhou's body temperature, this warm feeling made it difficult for him to control himself.After all, being hugged suddenly by someone you like is unbearable to anyone else.

He didn't know which fu zhongzhou was going to make a fuss about, or whether he was just making fun of him.

Xu Yu suddenly felt very sad.He can always be comforted by the touch of his body, whether it is Fu Zhongzhou or the former Zhou Zheng.

He thought of Zhou Zheng, the astonished expression on his face after learning of his sexual orientation, and the little movement he couldn't help but take half a step back.

Fu Zhongzhou's breath was right next to his ear, as if he was brewing something or waiting for an opportunity.This person is a naughty child in his bones, passionate about everything, so innocent that people feel a little pitiful.

Compared with his pure thoughts, Xu Yan felt that his thoughts were too dirty.

It can't go on like this.Xu Chang gritted his teeth and pushed the man away from him.

"Turn on the light later."

"Huh? What's the matter..."

He stood firmly in front of Fu Zhongzhou, and there was no place on his body that touched him.Fu Zhongzhou suddenly lost his support point, and grabbed his hand in a panic, but he blocked it.

"Just say it."

Xu Yan pinched his wrist gently, and Fu Zhongzhou immediately stopped moving, and let him let go obediently.

In the dark, they couldn't see each other.Xu Yan closed his eyes, as if speaking to the air in the darkness.

"There's something I want to tell you, maybe you don't care if you know it or not."

He paused, the person in front of him did not speak, but was listening quietly.

"I like men, and I have a crush on you." He took a deep breath, as if he was trying to untangle the chains around his body.

"So, if you... don't mean that to me," he felt a little gibberish, and wiped his face with annoyed hand, "...Of course I know it's impossible, anyway... Please don't always Get your hands on me."

At this point, Xu Yu realized that the inexplicable friendship between the two of them had come to an end.Although his emotions can be regarded as tragic, the scene of Fu Zhongzhou climbing up Kongtong Mountain overnight could not help appearing in his mind.

The two were relatively silent in the darkness.

Suddenly, there was a light "pop", and a small flame burst out between the two.Xu Chang's expression was exposed in front of Fu Zhongzhou's eyes, and he felt a little bit retreated.

Fu Zhongzhou held the lighter in one hand, and a small flame was burning in his eyes.

"You said you have a good feeling, what kind of good feeling is it?"

Xu Chang didn't expect his focus to be here, so he didn't realize it all at once.

"Just... the kind you want."

Snapped.

The flames disappeared.Xu Chang panicked, wondering if Fu Zhongzhou would be angry.Just as he was about to turn around and turn on the light, Fu Zhongzhou hugged him up again.

Xu Chang was a little anxious, and pushed his shoulder a little harder. "Hey, did you understand what I just said?"

Fu Zhongzhou didn't know why he laughed softly, and hugged him even tighter.

"I heard it, I heard it very clearly." He laughed loudly, and suddenly kissed Xu Wei's face, "How do you know I'm not interested in you?"

He kissed so loudly that Xu Yu froze in place on the spot, his cognition of this straight man collapsed like an avalanche.

"You...don't make fun of me." He pulled the man off his body, walked quickly to the door and turned on the light.

The surrounding environment was finally exposed to daylight. Standing by the door, Xu Chang saw Fu Zhongzhou smiling at him.The smile on his face couldn't be stopped, it didn't look like he was playing a prank.

Xu Chang was a little shaken.

"You... Seriously?"

"Could it be fake?" Fu Zhongzhou hooked his fingers, "Come quickly and cut the cake."

He held the candle and pulled it out, threw it aside, and handed the knife to Xu Wei.The two shared the cake, their heads very close to each other.Xu Chang held a knife and fork in his hand, but his mind became a mess.

He divided the cake into two and handed it to Fu Zhongzhou, but he grabbed his hand.

"I'm serious." Fu Zhongzhou spoke sincerely, gently holding Xu Yu's hand, "I said I like you, do you want to try it with me?"

Seeing that Xu Yu didn't respond, he said again word by word:

"I'm not straight, I like you."
