A box of light gray blue

Fu Zhongzhou's body shook suddenly, and his half-closed eyes opened.

He looked blankly at Xu Wei, who had a complicated expression on his face, and then picked up his phone to check the news.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Wei guessed something.

"……girlfriend?"

Fu Zhongzhou did not reply to the message and exited the chat interface.

The soothing music wafted out of the earphones again, he took off his glasses tiredly, and rubbed his face.

"Ex-girlfriend."

"... Oh." Xu Wei sensed that he was depressed, so he didn't dare to ask again.This man could cry loudly when he was drunk, but he didn't know what he could do when he was awake.He finally knew that the "ex-girlfriend" was a low pressure switch in Fu Zhongzhou's place.

However, just as Xu Wei turned his head and drew for a while, Fu Zhongzhou took the initiative to ask: "Don't you want to ask anything else?"

His tone was calm, but Xu Wei heard a desire to confide.

Ask something else?Xu Wei remembered what Fu Zhongzhou said about "giving up Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts".He really wanted to know what was going on.He wants to know, what is the important thing that can make him give up the school that other people want to go to?

So he asked.

"Why not go to Tsinghua University, but Z University? The gap between these two institutions is too great."

Fu Zhongzhou froze for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.For a moment, he lowered his head slightly and secretly smiled. "I thought you were going to ask me how I broke up. Why don't you gossip at all. The group of students before asked me all about my personal information."

"Because I'm not interested."

"...you're quite interesting." Fu Zhongzhou took the blunt pencil from his hand, took out the knife from the pencil case, and sharpened the pencil while talking.

"...It is true that I did not apply for Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts. I have kept this matter from the school, so don't go around talking about it."

"Ah."

"My ex-girlfriend broke up with me. I thought, if I can fill in a school with her, maybe I can redeem it."

He said it calmly, but Xu Wei understood what a loss it was to him. Although Z University is a double-first class, according to Fu Zhongzhou's results, filling in Z University is a waste of points.

However, this person not only hastily decided his own future, but is even now sharpening pencils for his shabby students in this pre-examination training school.

Xu Wei scolded sincerely:

"You're an idiot."

Fu Zhongzhou's pen sharpening hand stopped.

Xu Wei thought he was going to be angry, but after waiting for a long time, he just smiled at him.

"Yeah, I feel pretty stupid too."

A closet contestant and a straight guy's first night of conversation ends badly.Xu Wei finished his painting before twelve o'clock, and walked out of the teaching building with his bag in hand.

Only the small green light with the words "Safe Exit" was still on in the building, which looked gloomy.Xu Wei felt nervous, but he couldn't bear to wait for Fu Zhongzhou, so he ran all the way back to the dormitory.

Back in the dormitory, the other three were still awake.

Peng Peng took a shower and was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone; Qin Ping was drawing sketches, and there were already a dozen of them on his desk.Xiang Yong set up his easel and was drawing an unfinished sketch.

"You are..."

Qin Ping's forehead was covered with sweat, "The lights are going to be turned off at one o'clock, and I still have ten pieces of homework to draw! Why did you assign so many homework on the first day?"

"I'm fine in class, just finish this picture." Xiang Yong raised his hand and wiped his forehead.He was tall and tall, sitting on the bench with his legs bent, it was really uncomfortable.

Xu Wei looked at these two people and suddenly felt that Fu Zhongzhou was kind.He turned around and patted Peng Peng, and asked, "How is your relationship going, boy?"

As soon as he spoke, Xiang Yong reacted faster than Peng Peng.

"Pengpeng, are you in a relationship?"

Peng Peng was anxious, and shouted at him: "No! There's no sign!" He lowered his voice again, "He is quite cute, but I feel... I don't seem to like it very much."

"..." Xu Wei couldn't understand these two people, but it would be nice to know one more friend.

He went into the bathroom to take a shower, and after a brief wash, he went to bed and lay down.

But as soon as he lay down, the phone rang.

Caller ID: Mom.

Xu Wei hesitated, put on the earphones, and answered.

"Hey."

"Little Anaconda, are you finishing get out of class?"

"No, I'm ready to sleep."

"Are you used to living in the dormitory? How do your roommates treat you?"

"Hmm. Pretty good."

There are four people in their family, besides parents and a younger sister.Xu Wei didn't know what to say, so he asked, "Is Xu Yun okay?"

"Okay, your sister is already asleep." There was a pause on the other end of the phone, "Do you still have contact with your former high school deskmate?"

Xu Wei was taken aback for a moment, not expecting why she would ask this.

"No contact, what's the matter?"

"Didn't you have a good relationship with her before?" On the phone, Mother Xu took a deep breath, and changed her tone with sincerity.

"I don't object to you looking for a girlfriend. If you are under a lot of academic pressure, you can find a girl to accompany you. If you are not used to living in the dormitory, you can move out and rent a house..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Wei felt the blood in his body rushing to his head.

"Mom, I'm going to bed. Let's talk about it next time. Good night."

"Hey, little anaconda! You..."

Nameless anger quickly burned through his body.He hung up the phone, pulled off the earphones, and threw the phone directly into the laundry basket under the bed.

"boom!"

The dirty clothes basket was next to the closet, Xu Wei didn't throw it correctly, and the phone knocked against the iron sheet, making a loud noise.

The sound of painting in the room stopped.The other three were taken aback, not knowing why he suddenly became so angry.

Peng Peng, who was facing the bed, realized something was wrong, and nervously rolled over and sat up from the bed.

Xu Wei was lying on the bed, covering his face with his arms, his chest heaving violently.

"I'm fine." He took a breath and didn't say anything more.Turned over and fell asleep facing the wall.

He closed his eyes, but it seemed like a beast was about to rush out of his body.The conversations in their family are always like this, like a pair of codes, there is always a different meaning between the explicit and the dark.

"Are you used to living in the dormitory?"——You haven't let others know that you like men, have you?

"I have no objection to your finding a girlfriend" - when will you be able to like the opposite sex like a normal person?

"If you are not used to living in the dormitory, move out" - don't get together with the students in the dormitory, it will embarrass our family.

He is the greatest decoding expert of their Xu family.No matter how cryptic the words were, he could see the real fucking order.

He has always had an inexplicable sense of shame about himself, and this feeling grows as he deciphers his parents' words again and again.

After one o'clock, the lights in the dormitory went out, and the light in the corridor spilled in through the crack of the door.Qin Ping probably hadn't finished painting yet, so he took his painting tools and went to the corridor to paint.

Xu Wei lay under the quilt, thinking wildly and fell asleep.

In his sleep, he dreamed that he was back in kindergarten.

Little Xu Wei was still a little kid at that time, he had a bad temper and liked to play tricks, and the children in the class didn't like to play with him.

Xu Wei couldn't move, as if he was nailed in place, watching his five-year-old self play pranks.

This day is the graduation ceremony of the big class, a group of children wearing robes, led by the head teacher to the stage to present awards.Parents are in the audience, holding up their mobile phones to take pictures of their children.

The little Xu Yun standing on the far side looked fierce and out of tune with the others, and no one wanted to stand with him.

There was only one white and clean child who followed Xu Yun like a follower.This kid was not liked by the other kids either, and was pushed to the side of the line, almost crying.

Little Xu Yun liked this little brother very much. Seeing his wronged appearance, he felt a desire to protect him.So he took his chubby hand and led him from the side to the middle, squeezing the other children to the side.

"Brother Nu is really amazing."

The younger brother blinked a pair of big eyes, and his rosy face was very cute.

Little Xu Yun's heart was beating wildly.The cutie in front of him was like a sweet peach, which made him want to take a bite.

The teacher set up the camera and said loudly to the children on the stage: "Get ready, the teacher is going to take pictures for you."

"three two……"

The children were laughing and joking, and no one paid any attention to the teacher.

"……one!"

"eggplant!"

The children jumped to their feet and shouted, the wind blowing their loose dark robes.

Little Xu Yun didn't pay attention to this lively scene. He looked at his little brother, and the more he looked at him, the more cute he felt.

So he took his little brother's fleshy face with his hands, pouted his mouth and stamped on the lips of this cute ghost.

When waking up in the morning, Xu Wei found himself numb.

He certainly wouldn't be perverted enough to react to a child, but he had to admit it was more complicated than that.

——In the dream, the face of that little follower... coincided with Fu Zhongzhou's.
