Eastern Star Spot

Liao Dongxing thought he was farting, so he sharpened his pen without realizing it.The utility knife slipped among the sawdust, and he cut two, then suddenly turned his head and asked, "Why don't you get married?"

Ye Ban was not surprised by his question, and was silent for two seconds before saying, "There's nothing to settle."

Liao Dongxing said: "Is it because you like men?"

"What identity do you use to ask me this question?" Ye Ban took out the fixer liquid from the cabinet, and was about to go to the balcony to process the picture. Hearing this, he gave him a meaningful look and said, "It's OK for gays to live abroad." Married. Not because of that."

Liao Dongxing turned off the power-saving mode that he usually doesn't look straight at people, put away his laziness and asked the bottom line: "Why is that?"

Leaf Spot had already walked out of the room, brushed and sprayed on the balcony, and brought the painting in after it was dry.

When Liao Dongxing thought he would not answer, he sighed and said, "Everyone is so boring."

He put on his coat and went downstairs, and Liao Dongxing followed him, lying on the handrail of the stairs on the second floor and looking down.

Ye Ban was putting on shoes in the entrance, and Liao Dongxing hung half of his body outside, and shouted, "Why are you going!"

Ye Ban raised her head and gestured to him for the car key in her hand: "I'm going to fix a picture frame, and I'll come back for dinner—you go in and be careful not to fall."

"Oh!"

Liao Dongxing retreated and closed the door with a bang.

During the meal, Liao Dongxing looked at the finished painting next to the sofa happily, and asked Ye Ban: "Hey, where are you going to hang this thing?"

"I'll keep it for you, don't hang it. I hang my own portrait at home, what does it look like?"

Liao Dongxing was greatly disappointed: "Then why are you framed?"

Ye Ban swallowed slowly, put down the knife and fork and said with a light smile, "Let you save it for your future self to see what kind of virtue the first portrait sketches from life."

Liao Dongxing picked up the steak he had just cut with his chopsticks, and said loudly, "You are the one who said I was a genius, and you were the one who said I was rotten. What's wrong with you? A genius is like the sun. Does it exist today or not tomorrow?"

"You have a lot of room to move forward, I mean your current level is far from what I want."

Liao Dongxing took another chopstick, and there was only a pitiful piece of steak left on the leaf spot plate.

When the little thief stretched out his chopsticks for the last time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and inserted the wooden chopsticks and steak together, and said angrily, "You're done? Don't you?"

Liao Dongxing: "The food in other people's bowls is delicious."

He pulled back his chopsticks as if nothing had happened, chewed and said, "I am Lu Bu among the Masha people in the car. If I step on the accelerator, they won't even see me."

Ye Ban then said: "Are you going to take the school exam?"

"what?"

"The joint entrance examination is just a stepping stone, and the school examination is a further selective examination. The colleges and universities set their own questions, and each school has its own characteristics. Schools such as China Academy of Art, Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts have professional examinations. stronger."

"Don't go."

Ye Ban was surprised: "Why?"

Liao Dongxing finished eating all the meat, put his chopsticks on the bowl, and said, "I don't want to go."

Today he was washing the dishes, so he urged Ye Ban, "Hurry up and eat, I'm going to wash the dishes."

Soon it will be the fourth monthly exam, and this time Liao Dongxing got the No.1 scholarship as he wished.

Before he could warm it up, he heard Pan Guomao say, "It's a good thing the man in aj is gone, otherwise there must be another fight."

Liao Dongxing always delayed receiving news, so he asked: "He doesn't learn anymore?"

"No," Pan Guomao explained, "He went to Hangzhou to study, and he seems to be taking some exams. Tsk, I guess he hates delaying him here."

Liao Dongxing stood there in a daze for a while.

In the office, Old Liu's eyes widened when he heard this, his thin eyebrows showed surprise, and he said, "Is there even a need to talk about it? Of course, is it out of his mind to give up this opportunity?"

Ye Ban sighed: "Maybe there are really pits."

So Lao Liu immediately understood, and he didn't understand anymore. He rushed into the classroom in a hurry, slipped Liao Dongxing to the office, and asked, "Why don't you go to the school exam?"

Liao Dongxing was silent for a few seconds, and said honestly, "No money."

"Are you stupid?" Lao Liu was furious, pointing at Ye Ban and said, "I have no money to borrow, isn't this a ready-made cash machine? I don't know how to do it!"

He didn't know they were living together.

Liao Dongxing's hair was messed up, and he seemed unexpectedly confused and ignorant of the world: "His money is his money, so what does it have to do with me?"

Lao Liu paced back and forth a few times in a circle with a diameter of two meters, turned around and slapped the table, and said, "I know what you think, but you just can't open your mouth. I have a thick skin, so let me tell you." He looked at Ye Ban, "Old Ye, are you willing to help him... Or, Liao Dongxing, are you willing to let me help you? There is nothing embarrassing, to be honest, just nod if you want."

Liao Dongxing lowered his head, time froze on him.

He didn't nod or shake his head, watching Lao Liu jumping, he hated the iron and said: "Your brain is filled with pencil dust, right? What's the matter? My master paid me for my college tuition. What's the matter with you nodding your head? Less meat and less skin?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he stretched out his hand and slapped him on the back: "In the end, it's better for you not to do it yourself."

Liao Dongxing left the office without saying a word. Lao Liu stared at his back for a while, then turned to Ye Ban and sighed: "This kid's temper has changed, so he didn't fight me like this."

Ye Ban sat down to drink tea, and said flatly, "Ten thousand years of dog temper. I just said it before, but I won't say it now."

Old Liu saw that he didn't look like he wanted to worry about this matter, so he said nervously: "Hey, you don't really care about this matter, do you?"

Ye Ban deliberately teased him, and said unhurriedly: "What does it have to do with me?"

Old Liu was in a hurry: "Didn't you care about him the most before? This kid is so pitiful. You just want to die like this? What about Renyi brother? Renyi!"

Leaf Spot was unmoved: "It was in the past, but the situation is different now."

"What's the difference?" Lao Liu threw the cup in his hand on the table, "Tch, you won't help me."

He took out his phone to check the balance.

Ye Ban didn't even look at it and said, "Do you have any money to help? Let's borrow it all."

Old Liu was taken aback by what he said. He had worked in the studio for several years and saved a lot of money, but there were many relatives and brothers who were suffering from the autumn wind, and they lent them out one by one. He really didn't have any savings on hand, otherwise he would have already He threw money at Liao Dongxing.

Ye Ban: "Next time, save more money for yourself, and remember to ask someone to write an IOU to write an IOU for borrowing money."

Lao Liu scratched his head, he was a frugal person, he ate and slept in the studio, and his clothes were still used a few years ago.Usually there is basically no expenses, and I am frightened by the balance of my bank card every time, and then borrow it out one by one, so I often don't know the deposit.

The text messages had already arrived, and he saw that there were really not many.

A real poor man.

Liao Dongxing went back to his seat to draw a picture, his phone vibrated, he opened it and saw a photo sent by Ye Ban, which was all kinds of consultations from You Ziyi.

The chat history is very long, with almost all explanations and precautions.

At the end, the tall boy in AJ who couldn't beat Liao Dongxing sent a short thank you in a cheery and inspirational tone that didn't match other people's designs——

Thank you Teacher Ye!I'm going to pursue a better self!

Seeing that, Liao Dongxing got goose bumps all over his body.

He looked up, and because the entrance exam was approaching, the atmosphere in Class Two was obviously much quieter than before. From the time when no one was seen after class to now, almost everyone was burning.

A banner was hung on the back wall at some point, with white numbers pasted on a red cloth.

42 days.

"Speaking of which, my birthday is coming soon." Shen Jiu also looked up at the numbers on the wall.

"a few more days?"

She counted with her fingers: "Six days."

Pu Jie looked up and tried to recall: "That's... Sagittarius?"

"Correct."

Jiang Yu, who was rushing to do homework in front of him, said "hey", then turned around and said, "Do you live on the Gregorian calendar or the lunar calendar?"

Shen Jiu said: "Just the one on the ID card, Gregorian calendar...Gregorian calendar."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "My lunar calendar is on the same day as your Gregorian calendar, which is also next Wednesday. And Ah Peng, he is only one day behind me."

That was a coincidence.

Shen Jiu said excitedly: "Then let's celebrate our birthday together next week! Tuesday night at twelve o'clock, spanning our three birthdays! Have fun again before the entrance exam!"

They all took out their mobile phones to look at the cake shop, and Pu Jie stroked her chin: "We are destined to meet from a thousand miles away."

Liao Dongxing was painting, listening to their chat, suddenly remembered that his birthday seemed to be a few days later, he quickly checked his ID number, and found that it was next Wednesday.

The odds are even lower than winning the lottery.

But he wasn't about to say it.

"There are so many shooters and thieves in our class." Pu Jie sighed.
