between the lips

As soon as these words came out, how dare Chu He say anything else, he wished he could hug someone and hug him right now, and he didn't want to waste a moment.

This countdown is dangerous and exciting. It is like a time bomb reminding them that they are destined to be separated, and it is like the aftermath of the doomsday making them cherish their present more.

When he was discharged from the hospital, Wei Yuhuai recovered most of his vitality and his fever subsided.

It was already twilight, and on the way back, I happened to pass by a crab, and Chu and Wei Yuhuai, who was also very hungry, went in together.

The restaurant is a typical colonial building. There are KUTTOROTTI (teppanyaki) stalls outside the door, and there are clean and comfortable booths inside.Chu He wanted Wei Yuhuai to try more special dishes, so he ordered the side dishes of Lamprais, dried tamarind fruit and Pol Sambol.The colors are very rich, green and bright yellow put together, it looks very tropical.

Chu He remembered that he still lacked a still life sketch, so he snapped one and prepared to go back to painting.

Wei Yuhuai asked gratifiedly: "You are very active in shooting material now, huh?"

Chu He smiled, "I've always been very positive, but I didn't dare to start writing. I was afraid that Teacher Gu would say 'garbage' again when he saw it."

"Teacher Gu? Oh, that realist master? I've seen the news." Wei Yuhuai never mentioned the plagiarism incident a year ago.

Chu He was very concerned about this matter, but for some reason today, maybe it was because the cicadas were too lively or the warm wind was too smoky. In short, Chu He was suddenly willing to talk: "News? What did you see?"

"Tell me that your entry is similar to his portrait."

"You are so tactful." Obviously, every media wanted to use the word "plagiarism" as a headline.

Wei Yuhuai didn't believe this at first, but when he heard this, the unfounded trust became even stronger.He picked up a piece of fish casually and asked, "Is this curry sour fish?" He put it in his mouth after getting affirmation, and started chewing.

He still likes to bite the fork when eating, and sucks the straw until it is full of tooth marks.

Chu He asked: "I don't want to know why I did this?"

"You didn't copy it, why did you get it?" The young man put on the chest scarf politely, and asked Chu He to fold it up and put it on, because the white T-shirt was already stained with curry.

Chu He ignored it and just asked: "So sure?"

"You're not that kind of person."

"We've only known each other for less than two weeks." Chu He thought it would be agitated or embarrassing to bring up the old things, but because of Wei Yuhuai's words, he was very calm, and even wanted to figure out where the trust came from.

"Some people have known each other for more than 20 years, [-] years or even a lifetime, what's the result?" Wei Yuhuai shrugged, and the stainless steel fork clicked in front of his teeth, "Some people haven't seen each other, so what?"

What he said was endless, but Chu He understood.

"You mean, we were lucky enough to be the part behind?" Chu He asked, ordering a cup of black tea, "Then if I say, I'm a victim, do you believe it?"

"Trust." Wei Yuhuai said very firmly, not like a romantic encounter who met by chance, but like an old friend who holds his hand and has been with him till now.

"Since you saw the news, how do you feel when you compare the two paintings?"

"I don't understand how you define plagiarism. At first glance, some places seem to have similar colors."

"Look carefully?"

"differ greatly."

"Actually, that painting is my Bi She." Chu He sighed, leaning back on the back of the chair, "I showed the sketch to Mr. Gu before I finished the next creation. He didn't have long I just drew my own work, but I had already finished three-quarters of the painting at that time, and I was about to graduate, so it was impossible to repaint.

"Of course, we all have our own ideas in our paintings. If we want to talk about similarities, we do have similar color habits. After all, he has taught me for so long, and the style will be more or less influenced by him."

Wei Yuhuai frowned, "You mean, that's not plagiarism at all? Is the news taken out of context and sensationalized?"

"Anyway, there is no standard for this thing. If everyone thinks it is like it, then there is nothing you can do about it. It's fair to everyone." Chu He replied calmly, but only he himself knew how terrible this hat was for the creator.

Wei Yuhuai was in a hurry, and he didn't care about handling the knife and fork lightly, knocking on the plate until it jingled, "You don't say that? Just let others splash dirty water on you?"

"He posted the painting first. I told you, but no one believed it. There are very few people who understand painting. In fact, everyone just wants news about a dark horse falling into the water."

"Then let Mr. Gu speak up for you!"

Chu He was helpless, and said in his heart that he would not tell this fool if he knew it earlier, so as to save others from worrying.

He sighed and said, "Mr. Gu and I had a quarrel after graduation, and we didn't talk much afterwards—that's why I didn't know that he also drew a picture with similar colors."

"You have to talk about the quarrel! Believe it or not, you talk first!" Wei Yuhuai was so anxious that he snatched the black tea from Chu He's hand, "Don't drink it, ancestor! For more than a year, because of those who scolded and sealed the pen, you can't do it!" After doing all these things, why don’t you dare to clarify for yourself!”

Wei Yuhuai really couldn't understand the hypocrisy of these people.Because of the difference in creative style, they parted ways, how could it be so long without contact?

"It's not that I dare not clarify..."

It's shameless to look back for Gu Ziweng.
