between the lips

This is a low and small single building with a red and white roof and blue stone walls around it.There are camellias and cannas planted in the yard, but due to long-term neglect, weeds grow above the ankles.

Wei Yuhuai frowned, carefully tiptoed across the flowerbed, and after entering the door, he deliberately wiped the mud around his feet with a wet towel before stepping on the carpet.

The owner, Chu He, walked into the living room without changing his shoes and said, "It's been a long time since I cleaned it. You don't have to be so particular about it, just come in with your shoes on. You sleep on the left side, and I sleep on the right side."

Wei Yuhuai didn't know why Chu He had such a demeanor as a host, he just thought he was acquainted, and obediently carried his luggage into the house.

Chu He lay on the bed, his body finally relaxed after a day of running around.He lit a cigarette, and through the light smoke, he saw the pile of paintings again.Some have only a few sketches, some line drafts are roughly completed, and some color blocks have been laid, but none of them are finished drafts.There are also huge differences in style between them.

He is the last student of Mr. Gu Ziweng, a master of realism. He has aura and is willing to work hard, and he has high hopes.

Mr. Gu and him were both teachers and friends, but when he went to France to participate in a competition, he suddenly saw a painting on the street - the earth was used as the canvas, if there was no shadow, it was an ordinary oil painting landscape, but in When the first ray of sunlight falls in the morning, the shadows of tall buildings also become paint, and the long rectangle acts as the dark side to cut out a beach on the "painting".What's more, as the sun moves, the shadows on the painting will change into different shapes, but they all complement and integrate with the painting.

Chu He found it very interesting. After that, he also began to try many novel ways of expression. Daily necessities such as water cups, tape measures, and watches have become tools for painting.However, although creative art has been developed for many years, it is still in the stage of children's educational education in China.Mr. Gu disapproved of his so-called "innovation" very much, and criticized him together with his fanart, and even stubbornly asked him to change his graduate tutor.

Gu Ziweng is nearly seventy years old, with the aloofness of an artist and the temper of a child.Chu He was so stubborn that he really changed his mentor. After handing over the design and having a big fight with Mr. Gu, he never spoke a word to him again.

Even until the big incident a year ago, Chu He never looked back.

The past is like a revolving lantern.Millet Weng, the streets of France, the Austrian art exhibition, and finally, inexplicably, passed on a gentle face.

"Strange..." Chu He said to himself, "Why do you remember him?"

Having said that, the hands don't obey.Neither Chu nor himself knew when he drew that face.

The brush strokes under the lamp are gentle and smooth, and the people in the brush are also gentle and gentle, wearing glasses that look cool.But when the mouth was drawn, Chu He suddenly didn't know how to continue.

The Wei Yuhuai in his impression was all smiling, polite and distant, but he also felt that he was awkward like this.It’s not that strange, after all, when all strangers mentioned Wei Yuhuai, they would say “mature and responsible”, but Chu He always felt that it was not the real him, but more like putting on a pleasing appearance in front of others.

It's poor.Chu He thought, Wei Yuhuai was so cute when he was obviously drunk.

Thinking of this, Chu He left blank, his mouth was empty.He happened to catch a glimpse of a dried flower in a vase in the room, and with an idea, he placed it on top of the drawing paper, then brought a desk lamp, and adjusted the direction of the light source so that the shadow of the flower fell just under the face of the person in the painting.

Thus, Wei Yuhuai's face was divided into light and dark parts by light and shadow. Half of the lips evoked a professional smile, and under the glasses was a calm and indifferent expression; Very cute, slightly open like a child who wants to eat candy.

Chu He stared at the painting and couldn't help laughing.

"It's funny." Chu He's brows and eyes were curved, he picked up the notebook, and moved the angle according to the desk lamp.

After being illuminated by the strong light, Chu He could see his sunburned hands in the afternoon, which would turn red hot and reveal layers of white skin.

Chu He hesitated for a while, then suddenly remembered Wei Yuhuai's words in the car - "Come to my room" "It's just replenishing water, it doesn't hurt"...

Chu He went out without any hesitation, raised his hand and knocked on the door of Wei Yuhuai's room.

Wei Yuhuai was wearing loose ice silk pajamas, exposing his fair neck.Because of the white skin, the red patch on the chest was very obvious.Hiding his hands behind his back, his eyes were very dodgy.

"Good evening." Chu He said.

"Bring body lotion, right? Wait a minute." Wei Yuhuai guessed it all at once, without closing the door, he went into the room and searched for a minute.

Chu He stood at the door bored, poked his head in and looked in, saw that the door was open, and he was in his own home again, so he walked in without thinking.

Although he was still trembling in the car (nor did he) wonder if Wei Yuhuai would take advantage of him, but now he was very courageous, as soon as the door was closed, he walked in.

Chu He saw the people in the room turning their backs to quickly pack something on the table, perhaps because of the sound of footsteps behind him, Wei Yuhuai's movements were a little messed up, but he was still very calm, and he changed the bottle and bottled it. Into the bag, "Sorry for the long wait."

Chu He shook his head, "No, thank you!" When he took the paper bag, he saw that Wei Yuhuai's legs were standing firmly in front of the cabinet.

If I remember correctly, the cabinet was always empty.

"I thought you were cleaning the table, but it's pretty clean." Chu He mentioned casually.

Wei Yuhuai's face suddenly changed, and he said evasively, "It was a bit messy just now."

In fact, he was just chewing on the straw secretly, and hurriedly put it away when he heard the knock on the door.

While speaking, the cabinet was shaken by Wei Yuhuai's retreat, and a bright yellow round cup rolled down like this.

"...Wait!" Wei Yuhuai had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately put it behind his back—but Chu He still saw it clearly.

The little tiger bared its teeth and danced its claws to show its teeth, its nose was wrinkled, and the word "king" on its forehead was round and fat.There is a straw on the base of the semicircle, which has been bitten all over with teeth marks.
