soul resonance

After lunch, the dining table was cleared, and Xu Heqi took Zhou Duo to sit on the rattan bench in the living room to digest the food. After several months, Xu Heqi's appetite was trained by Zhou Duo.

The amount of food was twice as much as before, and his stomach was full. Xu's mother was afraid that he would hold on, so she quickly took out the digestion tablets from the drawer and fed him two.

Zhou Duo couldn't help touching his belly, and his hand was slapped away with a "slap", "Hey, don't touch it, I'm going to throw up." One didn't notice that he ate too much.

Zhou Duo couldn't help laughing, but he still retracted his hand obediently.

"Is it hard?" he asked.

"It's okay." Xu Heqi said and put his eyes on Zhou Duo's stomach, "You eat more than me, why don't you see that you are full."

Zhou Duo's stomach was as flat as usual, and taking advantage of Xu's mother's absence, Xu Heqi slipped his hands in, touched his abdominal muscles and sighed: "Where did you eat all this, it hasn't changed at all."

He rubbed his stomach again, it was protruding brightly, it was simply more angry than others.

"Xiaoqi, where did you put the brush at home?"

Xu's mother's voice came from the storage room, and Xu Heqi was so startled that he quickly pulled his hand out of Zhou Duo's clothes, "Wait a minute, I'll come looking for you!"

Zhou Duo: "..."

The drawing tools were found, and the rice paper was laid flat on the table. Mama Xu said that you should play slowly, and sat aside with a sweater that was almost finished.

"How do I draw this?" Zhou Duo couldn't start with a brush, and he had never seen a picture of dispelling cold.

"Come on, let's draw plum blossoms, that one looks better!" Xu Heqi took the brush from Zhou Duo's hand. He had never painted by himself before, but he had seen his parents draw, "Hey, how do you draw this plum blossom?"

It's difficult to pick up a pen, he knows how to draw, but he can't draw!

Zhou Duo silently took out his mobile phone, and when in doubt, ask Baidu first!

There are several ways to draw the nine-nine cold-dispelling picture. The artistic one is to draw a plum on white rice paper, with nine flowers in bloom. Each flower has nine petals. It is drawn on the day of the winter solstice. Next, every day in the future, smear a stroke on the petals, until the plums are dyed red, the days have gone through ninety-nine and 81 days, and spring will come.

There are also circles and words to represent, draw a nine-square grid on the rice paper, draw nine small circles in each grid, and fill it up according to the rule of "painting on the top and painting on the sun, left wind and right rain and snow", or Write nine characters in the Jiugong grid, each character is nine strokes, for example: "Weeping willows in front of the court cherish the spring breeze".

"Why don't we change it." Zhou Duo looked at the explanation on Baidu, and it was easier to write and draw circles.

Xu Heqi frowned, looked at Zhou Duo's phone, and still felt that Huamei was better, and the others were ugly.

"Wait a minute, I'll see how to draw." He searched on Baidu and copied a picture.

A branch of red plum protruded from Su Jin's vase, and nine flowers, each with nine petals on it.

"You also come to two strokes."

Although Xu Heqi doesn't know how to paint, it's not difficult to copy simple flowers. Zhou Duo is different. He really doesn't have any talent in literature and art, so he directly splits the fork for the painting.

A picture of dispelling cold is half image, half abstract.

"Hahahahahaha." Xu Heqi couldn't help laughing, "Mom, look at Brother Duo's drawing." He held up the picture.

Xu's mother took a look while she was knitting a sweater, and smiled, "It's okay, just have fun, just draw whatever you want."

Zhou Duo held the pen and stared blankly at the picture, he didn't expect it to be like this, that hand, it is out of control at all!

"Do it again!" After crumpling the paper, he took out another piece of paper and laid it out again.

Seeing that he was having fun, Xu Heqi asked him to draw while he sat on the side, resting his chin and watching.

Sheet after sheet of rice paper was wasted for painting, until finally there was only one that was barely noticeable.

"You draw the remaining half." Zhou Duo handed the pen to Xu Heqi, it was only meaningful for the two of them to work together.

Xu Heqi took the brush with a smile, and raised an eyebrow at Zhou Duo, "Let you see what a talented painter is!"

The paintings of talented painters are not geniuses, and compared with those after Zhou Duo's practice, they are not much better, but the painting skills of the two are unified after all, and one picture barely loses the sense of disobedience.

"When the ink is dry, I will find a frame to frame it, and I will paint it every day!" Xu Heqi stood up the painting, "I will take pictures for you every day."

"Okay, wait until next spring, there will be a complete picture of red plums."

They met in summer, fell in love in autumn, and waited together for a branch of red plum to bloom in the long and severe winter, ushering in spring.

"The drawing is finished." After knitting the last stitch, Xu's mother lowered her head and bit off the thread, "Come and try it on, see if the sweater fits well."

Zhou Duo blinked his eyes to calm down his emotions. He turned his head to look at the sweater in Xu's mother's hand. The sweater was foggy blue, loose in shape, with intricate and beautiful patterns. On the chest was hooked with a white thread similar to an ancient bronze musical instrument. s things.

He couldn't tell what musical instrument it was, but it didn't affect his high opinion of the dress.

"Go and try." Xu Heqi poked him.

Zhou Duo looked at him in confusion, this was made by Xu's mother, and it should be for Xu Heqi, why did he ask him to try it.

"Xiao Duo, come and try." Mother Xu waved to Zhou Duo, "Thanks to you for taking care of our Xiao Qi these days, Auntie doesn't know how to thank you. You knit one too."

"The craftsmanship is mediocre, don't be disgusted with it!"

Zhou Duo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this sweater was knitted for him, and he couldn't react.

"Stupid, why don't you hurry up and try?" Xu Heqi poked him again, and then he came back to his senses, and quickly walked to Xu's mother in three steps at a time.

"Thank you...thank you, Auntie." Zhou Duo's eyes were red, he took off his clothes, took the sweater and put it on.

"Do you like it? It's okay, it's the right size."

"I like it, it looks great, thank you, auntie." Zhou Duo thanked repeatedly.

He has never had a sweater knitted by his mother, and he has never even received love from his mother. When he was a child, he always couldn't figure out why the child next door kept yelling at his mother every time after school, so he imitated the other party. Calling like that, wanting to know the reason behind it, but all I got was impatient and disgusted eyes.

He hated that look, and he couldn't understand why the child next door would cry out day after day under such look.

It wasn't until later that he saw the other party's mother lovingly listening to the other party's call, and gently hugging her into her arms, that he realized that mothers are different from mothers.

Wearing a sweater on his body, it is warm and comfortable, and the curved eyebrows of Xu's mother made him realize the maternal love that he never had before.

It turns out that maternal love is so full of nostalgia, so people can't help but call out again and again.

"Why do I think I'm more handsome than me?" Xu Heqi came over and pulled Zhou Duo to look around, "No, I have to compare with you, don't take it off and wait for me!"

He quickly ran back to his room, and soon came out wearing a sweater that was almost exactly the same as Zhou Duo's, the only difference was that his chest was a crane hooked with white thread.

Zhou Duo then understood that the pattern on his chest probably had something to do with him.

"Duo" is an ancient musical instrument. It was a big bell used in the announcement of political and religious laws or wars in ancient times. Zhou Duo didn't know it himself, but Xu's mother found it.

"Brother, look at me!" Xu Heqi winked at Zhou Duo.

"You look good in it!" This is the truth, the sweater is foggy blue, and the fairer skin complements it better, Xu Heqi happens to have cold white skin.

"They all look good, each boy is handsome in his own way." Xu's mother smiled and looked at the two of them, and seeing that they were wearing the same clothes, she said, "It looks like you are wearing brotherly clothes. You have a good relationship, and you should continue to be friends." ah!"

Zhou Duo and Xu Heqi looked at each other, what kind of brotherly outfit, this is clearly a couple outfit!

"Mom, I have something to tell Brother Duo, let's go back to the room first!" Xu Heqi pulled Zhou Duo to his room.

Zhou Duo glanced at Xu's mother nervously, afraid that she would find out something, but the other party just said softly: "Go, play by yourself."

As soon as the two of them arrived at the room, they locked the door behind them. Xu Heqi happily threw them on the bed, "Brother, it's a couple outfit. It's a pity, we have different shapes, otherwise we can wear them differently."

"This is already very good." Zhou Duo put his arms around his waist and let him lie in his arms, feeling very satisfied. Not only was it a couple outfit, but Mother Xu wove it for them by herself.

How could this luck be so small?

"I'm so happy today." Zhou Duo was very nervous when he came here, but now he is only happy. Mother Xu is really nice, which gave him a different understanding of the word mother, "Thank you for bringing me here. your home."

Xu Heqi got his hand into Zhou Duo's clothes, pinched it, and said in a threatening tone: "Are you being polite to me?!"

"I'm not polite to you, but I really thank you." Thank you for your willingness to love me.

Xu Heqi suddenly looked at Zhou Duo with serious eyes, "Brother, I really like you, do you know that?"

He didn't know what Zhou Duo's past was like, and he didn't understand what happened to him, but he was not a piece of wood, he could feel that Zhou Duo had always been quite insecure.

After being with him, although the other party didn't say anything on the surface, he always felt that Zhou Duo was always concerned about his gains and losses, so even if he couldn't confess to his mother now, he still wanted to bring her over to give him a sense of security.

Let him understand that he is as serious as he is in this relationship and that he won't leave him for any other reason.

"I know." Zhou Duo never doubted Xu Heqi's heart for him. He just felt that he was not good. There were many things in the past that he couldn't tell, which bound him like a shackle, preventing him from escaping from the abyss.

He turned his head guiltily, not daring to look at Xu Heqi again, it was clearly his own problem, yet he wanted the other party to comfort him.

Xu Heqi sighed in his heart, he thought today would be an opportunity, but it seems that he has to take his time to open the other person's heart little by little.
