farewell to sunset

In November, the north enters early winter.

Shen Youning is most annoyed by this time of year, the temperature plummets, the sky is cloudy, there is no heating indoors, the outdoors are stuffy, and the whole person's state is also the same as the recent weather, unhappy.

Today was Monday, and the subway in the morning rush hour was overcrowded. Shen Youning got on the train at the departure station and was lucky enough to grab a good seat.

It's interesting to say that Shen Youning, the deputy manager of the Engineering Technology Department of RA Construction Company, owns a real estate next door to the company, and two private cars drive alternately. Such an elite white-collar worker wants to compete for a seat with the general working class.

But I can't blame him. Shen Youning's parents live in the east of the city, and he has to go back for a weekend every month. On Mondays, his Phaeton is restricted. If he wants to go to the company in the west of the city, the best choice is to take subway line 1.

Why not drive another car?Because the other car was his birthday present, and the person who gave the gift was his best friend, the small boss of Anjiang Group, Jiang Yi.

It's not to say how precious the other party's heart is, but...

Driving a Lamborghini Aventador to work is a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?

Shen Youning is a low-key person, he would rather squeeze the subway than drive a sports car to show off. At this moment, his face is full of bitterness and hatred, and he misses the soft backrest of the Lamborghini very much.

The third stop was the transfer station. There were more and more people coming and going. Shen Youning leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes to rest, thinking about how to deal with that difficult Party A for a while.

In the chaos, a strong fragrance suddenly surged from the tip of the nose, sweet and astringent, I don't know what it is the smell of flowers.

Before opening his eyes, Shen Youning sneezed.

"I'm sorry..." A young man's voice was as crisp as a silver bell.

Shen Youning waved his hand subconsciously, before he could see the person in front of him clearly, the other person turned and left before him, and stood in the distance.

With his back to Shen Youning, he was dressed in black, making him a bit thin, the hand holding the railing was very white, the knuckles were red, as if frozen, and his dark chestnut hair, soaked in the winter cold, was shaking slightly. roll up.

Shen Youning has been in love twice, one in middle school and one in college. Although he has been vacant for four or five years now, his aesthetic orientation has never changed, delicate, petite, and fragile.

Like the person in front of you.

Even if you don't see the face, listen to the voice, look at the back, the sense of atmosphere is already enough, a 27-year-old man will not be easily moved, but he will inevitably keep his eyes a few times when he sees someone he likes.

Yawning, Shen Youning straightened the collar of his hoodie and straightened his back.

The next stop is the Central Business District, where the first batch of office workers arrive at the finish line, starting a new round of busy seven days.

The compartment suddenly became quite empty, and the boy on the opposite side just sat down, only then did Shen Youning see the bouquet of flowers that tickled his nose, white, green stems, small flowers, dozens of them crowded together in a cluster, as if elongated hydrangea.

Also like a bridal bouquet.

Shen Youning was numb by her own thoughts, pretending to be casual, and hastily swept across the other person's face.

Unexpectedly, his gaze fell, and he couldn't move it away for a moment. It was really a...too beautiful face.

The eyebrows are like spring mountains, the eyes are like autumn water, the face is like peach petals, the lips are like painted vermilion, coupled with the curly brown hair, it is so delicate that it does not look like a real person.

He was looking up at the road map, his lips were moving, as if he was counting the subway stations, and the bouquet of flowers was standing between his legs, and the fragrance did not diminish.

Shen Youning admitted that he was worthless, and also retracted the words that he was not tempted. He had met many beautiful boys, and this was the first time he had the urge to ask for a WeChat.

You have to be careful with WeChat, too abrupt and easy to offend people, besides, it's a little strange to contact people of the same sex, Shen Youning summed up his experience of being approached, and came up with a proper and thoughtful solution.

He took out his tablet, opened the drawing software, created a new drawing book, and tapped the pen tip on the screen.

Before high school, the family originally planned to let Shen Youning take the art test, but the child was too competitive in the culture class, so even if he took the ordinary college entrance examination, he could still enter the national TOP2.Since she has a background in art, Shen Youning didn't waste it. Both her undergraduate and postgraduate studies were in the Department of Architecture at University A, and she has been working as an architectural designer at RA since graduation.

The tablet is like his workbook, filled with various sketches, but never a portrait, maybe this is the first time.

He traced the outline of the other party with his eyes, and the vivid human figure jumped out on the paper, with a slender neck, straight back, narrow waist, thin legs, ten fingers clasping the bouquet from time to time, and eyes that occasionally looked at each other and flashed quickly.

The aunt next to her probably had never seen such a battle, she turned slightly to peek at Shen Youning's painting, the aunt didn't understand art, she simply thought that this young man was not simple, and his paintings really looked like that.

"Young man, do you draw manga?" The aunt couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

"No, it's just a hobby." Shen Youning was generous and decent, and found that the aunt was staring at his painting, and she even turned the tablet aside.

"Oh my, then your drawing is really good." The aunt paused, lowered her voice and pointed to the opposite side, "Isn't the painting...that young man?"

"En." Shen Youning nodded, and found that the person opposite looked over.

"The painting really looks like..." The aunt gave Shen Youning a thumbs up, and Shen Youning smiled back.

The boy tilted his head in doubt, probably thinking that Shen Youning didn't laugh at him, so he lowered his head again.

When the subway arrived in the city center, the newly cleaned carriages became noisy again. There were a lot of passengers at this station, and there was only an aisle wide for one person in the carriage.

A burly elder brother stood in front of Shen Youning, blocking his view several times. The painting in his hand was only painted. Shen Youning felt that it was inappropriate to poke his neck to look at others, so he planned to take a photo through the gap for reference.

It's not considered a sneak shot, is it?Shen Youning comforted herself, it was all for art.

He pretended to think seriously, but actually fiddled with the phone and adjusted the angle, trying to hide it.

Shen Youning had never done this kind of thing before, and before pressing the screen, his fingers shook a few times.

"Crack." The voice was not too loud, but at the same time, a blinding white light flashed on the phone.

???

Shen Youning broke down, did the flash not turn off?

The drowsiness pervading the carriage seemed to be awakened by this white light, and in an instant, the eyes of the surroundings all focused on Shen Youning.

At this moment, he should pretend to be stupid, because no one knew what was being photographed anyway, but Shen Youning was really guilty, and subconsciously looked for the look he cared about, and the two of them looked at each other, almost unrepentantly.

The other party's expression was very complicated, because just looking at the appearance, Shen Youning looked like a youthful student with a handsome face and "good guy" written all over his body, which had nothing to do with the current strange behavior.

Taking pictures, laughing with unknown meanings, frequent glances...

The boy looked at Shen Youning carefully, and found that the other person's eyes were fixed on him all the time, which was really scary.He ignored Shen Youning's hesitation to speak, and timidly slipped into another carriage.

Shen Youning pressed off the phone and tablet at the same time, and smiled helplessly.

His original idea was very good. He sketched people in the subway in the early morning, used the works to impress his lover, and sent the paintings to the other party as an excuse. Adding WeChat was a matter of course.

Shen Youning originally wanted the other party to think that he was just a simple artist, but now...he seems to have turned into a difficult pervert.

He wanted to explain just now, but they didn't give him a chance at all. The expression on his face when he left was written in four big characters, strangers should not come near.

For the first time in more than 20 years, I took the initiative, but who would have thought that the car overturned.

----------------

Filled with resentment, Shen Youning got off the subway, maybe because she was too inattentive, she just took the wrong exit.

Out of the station at Exit D, 500 meters longer than the normal route, Shen Youning went out today, trying not to be late, so he had to speed up his pace.

Reluctantly encountered another red light that was difficult to wait for, Shen Youning frequently looked at his watch at the intersection, counting down the seconds of the signal light irritably.

30, 29, 28...

Just ask for WeChat directly, no tricks, no elegance.

20, 19, 18...

How can I forget to turn off the flashlight, it is not turned on once in 800 years, just at this juncture.

10, 9, 8...

I should have apologized just now, I was so rude.

3, 2, 1.

"Hello, may I ask Huakang Building..."

Just as Shen Youning was about to take a step, a voice of inquiry sounded behind him.

He stopped and turned around.

This……

this is not……

The person who was still thinking about it just now fell from the sky, and the fragrance of flowers lingered again.

Facing the same familiar face, the expressions of the two were completely different. Shen Youning's eyes lit up, excited and pleasantly surprised, while the boy took a step back, wary and then dodged.

"Please wait a moment!" Seeing that the other party wanted to run again, Shen Youning said first, "I'm really sorry, but I didn't mean any harm."

He spoke very fast, and he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with others if he spoke slowly, "I didn't deliberately take pictures of you. I usually like to draw. I was just sketching people on the subway. Later, there were many people on the train, so I continued to draw for convenience. I just took a picture, I'm going to delete it now..."

Shen Youning was in a hurry, and after deleting the photos, he handed over the phone for the other party to check, but the boy didn't answer, and glanced at the screen of the phone out of the corner of his eye.

Indeed deleted.The boy's expression relaxed a little, and he nodded slightly.

"That... the picture I drew just now, would you like to take a look at it?"

The boy looked at Shen Youning again. Looking at his appearance, he was tall and legs long, with a straight back; looking at his appearance, he had square lips and a straight nose; the most important thing was that the other person's brows and expressions were really soft, even though his tone was hasty, his eyes were as still as still water.

Not like the bad guys.

The boy didn't move, and Shen Youning acquiesced in the other party's agreement. He opened the tablet and said embarrassedly: "I haven't had time to color it, it may be a little scribbled."

Shen Youning has single eyelids, he is calm and handsome when he lowers his head, and looks like a Korean drama hero when he raises his eyes and smiles, with dimples on his cheeks, and a gentle breath around his body.

He handed the tablet to the other party, the boy hesitated for a few seconds, and then took it.

The people on the screen are both familiar and unfamiliar. They only look at their appearance, but the overall atmosphere is warmer and full of sunshine.

Shen Youning held her breath, all her attention was on the other party's expression.His eyes lit up for a moment, and the petals in his arms trembled accordingly.

"The painting is really good..." the boy murmured, looking up at Shen Youning again, a little embarrassed, "So you are really a painter, I... just misunderstood you."

Shen Youning breathed a sigh of relief, laughed twice, smoothed things over and said, "I'm an amateur painter, not a painter, and I was rude first, so I should apologize to you."

The boy continued to look at the painting, and Shen Youning took advantage of the victory to pursue, "If you like it, I...send it to you?"

"Can you send it to me?" The boy spoke softly, "Thank you then, I... turn on a Bluetooth?"

"Oh...Bluetooth, bluetooth...OK", it was hard to save a little image, Shen Youning didn't dare to act rashly at the moment, he couldn't say anything about adding WeChat, and sent pictures to the other party without distracting thoughts.

"Did you just ask for directions?"

"Yes, I want to go to Huakang Building, do you know where to go?"

Shen Youning was overjoyed, "I work in Huakang Building, RA Construction", he took out his badge and confirmed his identity, "How about... let's go together?"

"I'm an architect, so I usually draw." Shen Youning added.

The boy thanked him again, and followed Shen Youning. He walked slowly, always half a step behind Shen Youning.

Shen Youning slowed down and waited for him, but found that this half step seemed to be deliberately dropped, and the other party was unwilling to stand beside him.

Shen Youning took the initiative to distance himself and walked on the left side in a very gentlemanly manner. He was speechless all the way, and when he passed by another exit, he pointed out to the other side and told him that it would be closer to exit the station from here.

"Do you have a temporary access code? Can I scan the door for you?" Shen Youning said as he walked downstairs to Huakang Building.

"No, thank you." The boy paused, and then said, "I won't go in, I'll go to that store."

He pointed to the left side of the building, and Shen Youning noticed an orange-red signboard, and asked, "What is this for? Why didn't I notice it before..."

"It's a dessert shop." The boy said, "It just opened on the weekend."

"Do you only sell desserts? Is there coffee, tea or something?"

"There are all of them. The coffee can be poured by hand, the tea can be brewed by hand, and the desserts are all handmade. There are cakes, toast, chocolate..." The boy said a series of words, obviously talking more.

"Just right, I'm tired of the company's instant." Shen Youning thought that he was late anyway, and said, "I'll go buy a cup and try it."

"Now... now it may take a long time." The boy wondered: "I am the only one working in the store, or... I will send it to you when I finish it?"

Shen Youning was taken aback, then reacted quickly, "So you work here? I thought you were also a customer."

"No need to deliver, it's too troublesome. I'll come over at two or three in the afternoon? Are you still open?"

"It's open," said the boy.

"See you this afternoon. My name is Shen Youning, and I work next door to you."

"I..." The boy hesitated for a moment, and said, "My name is Tang Nuo."

Tang Nuo, Shen Youning chewed each other's name carefully, and called out, the resonance resonated in the throat, and the throat was itchy.
