Draw a pen is to draw you

====

When Shu Nian arrived at the breakfast shop, he happened to see Zhu Ying sitting alone in the hall drinking soy milk with her eyes squinted.

It looks like the two haven't seen each other for a while.Shu Nian always ran to the studio, Zhu Ying and the little sisters went to Yunnan, and the rest of the time they both slumped at home with the air conditioner in a tacit understanding, let alone going out, if there was nothing special, they didn't even send any news A few words.

The similar habits are probably also the main reason why the two have been able to get along peacefully for so many years.

"Yo, goo."

Although Zhu Ying squinted her eyes, she easily met Shu Nian's gaze.She greeted Shu Nian, and Shu Nian walked into the shop and sat opposite her, chatting while waiting for the meal.

Knowing about Shu Nian's part-time job in the studio, Zhu Ying asked him, "Are you going to the studio at such an early hour?"

Shu Nian's expression was indifferent: "How can I remember that I told you that I was going out, and today is the day."

"Ah?" Zhu Ying glanced listlessly at the phone. It was a message sent by Shu Nian two days ago. She looked away guiltily and whispered, "I forgot."

"know."

"Where are you going?"

"Let's tentatively choose Xiamen, the seaside. But it probably won't be open for that long."

Shu Nian didn't care. Seeing Zhu Ying looking at his phone, he suddenly remembered that he should send a message to Qin Xun. He just opened the chat box when Zhu Ying asked again, "Do you still have contact with that one?"

Shu Nian subconsciously said, "Which one?"

"Just the one in the sketchbook." Zhu Ying bit the straw, "Didn't he come to the studio during the holidays? That's right, if he was in the studio, you probably wouldn't be working part-time there either."

Shu Nian raised his head, met Zhu Ying's eyes, and then silently turned to the other side.

Zhu Ying: "...What, he's in the studio?"

Now it was Shu Nian's turn to feel guilty.

He didn't tell Zhu Ying about his relationship with Qin Xun.

"Hmm..." Shu Nian scratched his hands under the table, "He's here to repeat the reading."

"Ah? Then you can bear it?" Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows, "I don't see you when you look up."

"Yes......"

Shu Nian looked for a long time and couldn't find a foothold, and finally he could only stare at the floor.

Zhu Ying: "...where are you looking?"

She was quite familiar with this look, and this man was obviously hiding something.

"that is......"

Shu Nian was heartbroken, said sooner or later, sooner or later, the longer the delay, the more Zhu Ying reacted, and said directly: "He and I, we are on good terms."

"......Um?"

Zhu Ying reacted for a while, then suddenly pushed the soybean milk to the side, and stared at Shu Nian with a puzzled face: "You mean good, literally?"

Shu Nian also looked at her with the same expression: "Otherwise? What a problem."

Zhu Ying looked at Soy Milk, then at Shu Nian, then at Soy Milk, and then turned to look at Shu Nian's phone screen.

It just so happened that Qin Xun's message flashed across the screen.

Zhu Ying: "Damn it!"

Her swearing was clear and powerful, but her voice was not loud. It was obvious that she deliberately restrained herself because she was in public. If there were only the two of them present, Shu Nian had no doubt that Zhu Ying would rush up and grab her collar and spit at her.

Shu Nian supported his forehead, his face was a little red: "Sorry."

"No, you, why didn't you tell me?" Zhu Ying looked around, gritted her teeth and asked Shu Nian in a low voice, "When did it happen? What happened when I was not in Rongcheng? What happened?" I’ll break up with you when I come back and you’ll be out of the order? You’re not enough of a brother, every time I make a boyfriend or break up, I’m definitely the first to tell you, you’ve held back for so long!”

Zhu Ying was heartbroken: "After so many years of love and love, it was finally paid by mistake!"

"I forgot." After Shu Nian answered the first question honestly, he reacted and said, "No, why did you break up again?"

"I'm not important, I'm used to it." Zhu Ying crossed one leg, as if eating melon, "What's the matter with you?"

Shu Nian didn't know where to start, and he didn't know how Qin Xun fell in love with him, so he only briefly described the relationship between the two of them to Zhu Ying.Perhaps Zhu Ying felt that just listening to the story was too pale, so she grabbed a handful of free small soybeans and ate while listening, and she had a "knocked, knocked" expression on her face at the end.

"...that's it, nothing special."

Zhu Ying was very pleased: "Very good."

Although it is indeed just a very ordinary story, Zhu Ying has been watching the whole process as a bystander, and always feels that it is not easy for Shu Nian's character to be able to successfully get out of the singles. After listening to it, she couldn't help but want to applaud. She inadvertently sighed: "Who would have imagined that people who would die after leaving the studio would suddenly be together. You lost your sketchbook on impulse, and you didn't even have a souvenir. You regret it now."

The small steamed buns that Shu Nian had just ordered for his family were sold out and needed to be steamed, and the boss packed them up right now.Shu Nian took the steamed bun, hummed, something flashed in his mind, and slowly turned his head to look at Zhu Ying while holding the plastic bag.

"?" Zhu Ying hadn't reacted yet.

"You," Shu Nian frowned, "how did you know I threw away the sketchbook?"

Zhu Ying: "..."

Mom, it's over.

"...I bumped into it by accident, and I thought it would be a pity to just throw it away, so I just took it back." Zhu Ying then confessed to Shu Nian that she had "picked up" all the sketchbooks. process.As she spoke, she poked her neck up like a bluff, trying to make herself look justified.

"Besides, you have been painting for so long, and that notebook can be regarded as recording the progress of your painting skills. This is spiritual property, and I also think about it for you! You see, you regret it now."

Shu Nian: "...I haven't said anything yet. Why are you in such a hurry."

Zhu Ying hugged her head and said, "Then I'll return the drawing book to you, so don't get angry."

"Okay, okay." Shu Nian said.

Shu Nian waited downstairs for a while, and Zhu Ying ran down with a sketchbook.The book itself is a bit old, and because the pages are glued together, even if Shu Nian has been very careful when using it, it will be easy to come off after a long time.Zhu Ying carefully glued down the fallen paper, smoothed the folded corners and curled edges, and pressed it into the pile of books, making it flat and well protected.

"Look, I kept it well, and I'll return it to you if you want more." Zhu Ying said, still a little proud.

Shu Nian reluctantly took it and flipped through it casually.There are quite a few pages in the sketchbook. If you look at it from the beginning to the end, it is not difficult to distinguish the change of the artist's painting skills, from the original slightly jerky to gradually smooth and sophisticated, and occasionally try unfamiliar ones. Drawing methods—for example, the combination of line and surface drawing has changed to a single line drawing, and the material has changed from charcoal to ballpoint pens, etc. Dozens of pages of sketch paper are not thin or thick, which seems to record the changes and experiences of Shu Nian in the past year. growing up.

The only thing that remains the same is probably the model.

The model's clothes range from summer clothes to autumn clothes, and then from autumn clothes to winter clothes, with different poses and different expressions. The first few pages of the drawings are relatively rigid, and then they become more dynamic and closer to the person.

Shu Nian felt a little emotional in a trance.

It turns out that in just one year, people can undergo so many changes unconsciously.

The refreshing feeling of the morning gradually receded, and the sun became brighter and hotter.Zhu Ying raised her hand to cover half of her face. Seeing that Shu Nian hadn't moved for a while, she shook his arm: "Sticky? Why are you in a daze? The sun is so bright, if you stay any longer, you'll get tanned. I won't accompany you." You are gone."

Shu Nian looked up, glanced at her, and closed the sketchbook.

"Thank you, you go back first... Ah yes, and this." Shu Nian handed the breakfast in his hand to Zhu Ying, and said, "Take me home for a while."

Zhu Ying: "...Ah? Why do you..."

"I suddenly... suddenly remembered something, I need to go out." Shu Nian hugged the sketchbook in his arms, as if there was something really urgent, he ran towards the gate of the community.While running, he turned his head and told Zhu Ying, walking quickly, "Tell mom that I'll be back in a while, thanks!"

"Hey! Tong Shunian!"

Zhu Ying knew that Shu Nian didn't exercise normally, but it was really rare for him to run so fast this time.She looked down at the plastic bag in her hand, walked towards Shu Nian's house very honestly, and cursed in her mouth.

"What..."

Qin Xun sent Shu Nian the sketch homework he drew yesterday, and stopped looking at his phone after he started drawing—Shu Nian had told him to send messages to each other only when he was resting.

This morning's class is still sketching avatars.Qin Xun finished laying out the shape, but Cai Cai, who was supposed to be at the front desk, came to him and asked him to come out with him before he finished laying down the colors.

Qin Xun temporarily put his wrist on the easel and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cai Caichong gestured to him: "Shu Nian is looking for you."

"Who?"

Qin Xun heard it, but he remembered that Shu Nian told him that he would go on a trip this morning, so he was suspicious for a moment.At the same time, he stood up and followed Cai Cai out.

Cai Cai said: "He said he has something for you, so hurry up."

The management of the studio is more flexible than that of the school. Although the painting process is uninterrupted, it is still allowed to go to the toilet and get water in the middle. If someone comes looking for it, just report to the teacher and go directly, but the action must be fast. Don't delay the progress of painting.

Qin Xun ran out, and Shu Nian was already sitting and waiting in the reception area.

Qin Xun had already prepared that he would not see Shu Nian for at least a week, but today's incident was really unexpected. As soon as Qin Xun saw someone, he couldn't help but want to reach out to pull him, but Shu Nian noticed very quickly. Realizing his intention, he put his hands behind his back and lightly cleared his throat.

Cai Cai sat down at the front desk and buried himself in sorting out the accounts.It's only a few meters away from here.

Qin Xun: "..."

Shu Nian was a little embarrassed. In fact, he didn't feel this way on the way to the studio. At that time, he didn't know what was beating his head, so he just wanted to go to the studio.When I actually meet someone, I don't know what to say.

"Didn't you say you were leaving in the morning, why did you come here again?"

It was Qin Xun who spoke first.Shu Nian's fingers were twisted together again, with the sketchbook in his arms.

Shu Nian said, "It's nothing special."

"Then you came here specially?" Qin Xun laughed and tilted his head to look at him.

"Not specifically..."

Shu Nian's tongue was tied, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt strange, why did he have to come here at this time, even if he wanted to deliver it, it would be the same to deliver it later.In the current situation, it is not a good idea to send it, or not to send it.

But now that it’s all over, Shu Nian still handed the sketchbook forward, and said carelessly, “I just suddenly remembered that this was drawn by me when I was doing exercises before. It may be helpful to you.” , bring it to you."

"Huh?" Qin Xun took it and turned it over to look, "Draw it casually?"

"Yeah." Shu Nian watched his movements and nodded slightly nervously.

Since it was something I drew casually, why did I send it now?Qin Xun had such a question, but after a quick look at the picture book in his hand, he immediately had the answer.

The person above this is clearly himself.

The characters in the first few pictures are not particularly obvious, but you can recognize your own things just by looking at the clothes.Not to mention those in the back, anyone in the studio who came to recognize him would know it was him.In the whole book, there are not even some extra supporting roles, and there is only one protagonist.

Qin Xun turned to the last page, and his heart beat faster and faster.

So this is what he looks like in Shu Nian's eyes, such a thick book.

It was a real surprise.

"Shu Da, you are spying on me."

Qin Xun snapped the sketchbook together and narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

"...whatever you think." Shu Nian's tone was a little impatient to be exposed, "Anyway, the thing is given to you, it's your business what you want to do with it, you can lose it...keep it Just watch."

"Of course we have to keep it." Qin Xun hugged the sketchbook tightly, "Take it as a family heirloom."

"This is the first time that Shuda gave me something. I will take it back with me in a while, and sleep with it in my arms every day. I usually put it on the desk and stand it, so that I can see it when I open my eyes. I will also bring it when I come to the studio. Put it in a school bag, and when you get tired of painting, take a look at it, and it will be used as a magic remedy."

Shu Nian: "..."

Qin Xun wanted to say something else, but Cai Cai suddenly pointed his head and said, "You two said that you are about to go back to the classroom, and I will see Teacher Dong come out to arrest people later."

"Oh, good." Qin Xun said immediately, "I haven't finished painting yet."

Shu Nian also said, "I should go back."

Qin Xun hummed, stepped forward to approach Shu Nian, stretched out his right index finger and entangled Shu Nian's little finger.

"Then before you leave," Qin Xun said in a low voice, "Can I have a parting kiss?"

Shu Nian's outer ear pinna turned red rapidly, and the corners of his eyes repeatedly glanced in Cai Cai's direction.Qin Xun knew what he meant, so he pouted and took a step back, and raised the sketchbook in his hand with some disappointment: "Then I'm leaving, this--I owe it first."

Both of them knew what "this" was.Although Qin Xun said so, his feet still stood there without moving. Shu Nian hesitated for a while, seeing that Cai Cai really didn't intend to raise his head, he stepped forward and half-paced his feet, and gently kissed Qin Xun's side face.

Qin Xun: "...This is the second time."

sneak attack.

"No way," Shu Nian turned his face away, "I don't like to owe people anything."

This time Shu Nian didn't run away.

Cai Cai, who was sitting at the front desk, was lost in thought while staring at the monitor screen.
