Beyond The Outline

On Xu Sheng’s birthday, he had to set off to the studio. Aunt Kang still had classes to attend, so Xu Sheng wanted to go and draw a picture, so he set off from home in advance.

He sent a text message to Xu Yaping: Mom, I'm out.

Xu Yaping: Pay attention to safety on the road. Mom took a half-day off today and can come here this afternoon.

At the same time, there is a message lying on the chat interface, the message time is zero.

Boyfriend: Happy birthday.

This summer seems to be extremely long. By the end of September, on the autumnal equinox, the temperature remained high.However, there is a big difference in temperature between day and night in City A. Xu Sheng put on a jacket when he went out. He passed through crowded places and walked out of the station.

Xu Sheng looked at the phone screen for a while and couldn't help thinking about what Shao Zhan was doing now.

Should be writing the question.

In addition to the college entrance examination simulation papers, you have to practice competition questions... After the third year of high school, the Linjiang competition group's tasks have become more onerous.

Xu Sheng was already satisfied when he received a happy birthday at midnight. He asked for a gift just casually, but if Shao Zhan were there now, he might be more satisfied.

There are only two months left for the December entrance exam. Many students in the studio came to the studio to take part in the training in advance after the first round of review exams.

When Xu Sheng arrived, he saw a woman sitting not far from the door giving a demonstration to classmates: "You interlining, the colors are painted too dirty, when you adjust the colors..."

The wind was strong outside, Xu Sheng was wearing a hat, and his forehead was still messed up by the wind. After he entered the door, he called "Aunt Kang".

"Come?" the woman said.

Xu Sheng let out a "um", and the female classmates who were around Aunt Kang watching his change of painting bent at him and said hello: "Assistant Xu."

Xu Sheng: "..."

Aunt Kang raised her eyebrows: "Know? When did you become my assistant, why didn't I know."

Xu Sheng touched his nose: "Maybe a little misunderstanding."

Xu Sheng will come to the studio to practice painting on weekends, and spend most of the time hiding in a small room with Kang Kai.

Occasionally, he opened the door and went out to answer Shao Zhan's phone call. The phone was still unavailable. There was a short girl sitting in the empty studio during lunch break. She was worried about the painting, as if she wanted to cry or not.

The girl couldn't keep up with the progress, and the drawing was always unsatisfactory. She sat alone and suffocated.

She was about to draw back, but she caught a glimpse of someone leaning on the wall on her side. The young man’s eyes were raised, with a smile on her own. The light flickered like the earring on the side of her ear. I took it a little farther, and when I spoke, it seemed a little careless: "Little classmates, try adding more environmental colors when drawing the subject."

Girl: "Huh?"

Xu Sheng brought the phone closer again. It seemed that the person on the other side had said something. He chuckled and said, "What kind of mess, isn't you the only person I've tried? Don't say it, I'll change it. painting."

Xu Sheng hung up the phone and signaled her to get up and give her a place.

When the girl painted the subject, she used one color for both the depth and sensitivity. For the brown ceramic pot, she used brown and white for transition, basically without any color.

Xu Sheng drew slowly, and explained to her carefully how to draw reflections, what the color wheel is based on, and how to add environment colors. He talked about it for half an hour.

Perhaps it was the phrase "little classmate" that made her think she was a teaching assistant, and she had never seen him come to study in the studio before.

Xu Sheng explained: "You were not there last lunch break, I helped to change the painting, and..." Xu Sheng said, took off the hood covering half of his face and said, "Little classmate, I am not Teaching Assistant."

The girl was watching Teacher Kang's demonstration. She couldn't look away from the time she entered the door when she was young, until he opened the compartment door inside, leaned against the door and said a few words to someone before walking in.

The girl said it was not a teaching assistant.

It's a pity to think again, it's no wonder I haven't seen him for so many days.

When Kang Kai saw him, his first reaction was to throw a bottle of water in the past: "You only came to the studio for two days a week. Can you let go of the girl in our studio? The girl is pretty good. I asked about the assistant teacher every day. I thought my mother. What new recruits are really hired."

Xu Sheng unscrewed the bottle cap and sat down on the easel with his legs on the bar under the easel and said, "What are you talking about, I don't like women."

Kang Kaixin said, it's because you don't like it. If you like it, you have to.

As soon as Xu Sheng finished the draft, the phone kept shaking, and the class group was also very lively.

Hou Jun didn't know where he knew that today was Xu Sheng's birthday. He organized everyone in the group to send him a blessing.

Hou Jun: Brother Sheng, our previous friendship, we won't talk about gifts or gifts. I will come first, and the future is bright!

Tan Kai: The Academy of Fine Arts must pass!

Yuan Ziqiang: Kaizi, why are you stealing my lines?

Qiu Qiu: Happy birthday to Brother Sheng~ I wish the art test a success.

...

The students in Class 7 knew that Xu Sheng would soon put aside the cultural class and go to the studio to participate in the training.They didn't know what an art test was before. Now that they know it, they only feel that it is a very courageous thing for a person to take another step when everyone is walking the same path.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Yaping got off work, and the studio just finished class.

Aunt Kang set up a dining table in the small yard outside the painting room. Several people sat together and had a simple meal. The birthday cake was not big. When wishing to the candles, Xu Sheng flashed many pictures in his mind, and finally stopped. On a paper star: Well, this paper star and the person who folded the star.

"It's so big at the blink of an eye." Xu Yaping sighed after sitting back after making a wish.

Aunt Kang smiled at the dining table: "Yes, the first time I saw Xiao Sheng, he only reached my shoulder height."

The two talked about “training” from this topic. Aunt Kang said: “I want them to go to another studio for training together. My senior may be more suitable for taking them than me.”

Aunt Kang also takes training students, but Xu Sheng and Kang Kai are at a different level from ordinary students. They need to learn more than just the regular entrance exam.The name of the studio she recommended is "Three Primary Colors". This studio is well-known in City A. In the urban area of ​​City A, there is a dedicated dormitory area. It also teaches better than her in "design and modeling".

Xu Sheng listened absent-mindedly and looked down at the time frequently.

Seeing that they had no intention of stopping until 8:30.

Xu Sheng lowered his head and chatted with Shao Zhan secretly.

-what are you doing.

-For dinner, listen to my mom and Aunt Kang chattering.

Tomorrow is Monday. Xu Yaping wanted him to get up early and go back to school tomorrow morning. Xu Sheng couldn’t sit still and put his mobile phone away: "Mom, Aunt Kang, I went back to school early. There is a quiz on Monday. I didn’t bring my book. Come back, I have to go back and review."

Xu Yaping got up, although she was surprised, she didn't think too much: "I'm back to school so late?"

"..." Kang Kai was the only one who looked at him with a look through everything.

Kang Kai's mouth shape: Damn.

Xu Sheng also turned his back slowly, pulled up his hat and said: Shut up.

It was dark, and the reflection of the street light was stretched very long. Xu Sheng got in the car and sent a message to Shao Zhan: I want to see you.

The opposite came back quickly, with only three words.

-Come to the intersection.

-?

What intersection.

Xu Sheng thought about it a few times and didn't want to understand where this inexplicable intersection was, until Shao Zhan immediately sent a picture.

In the photo, there is sparse crowds at the intersection in the center. The shop on the other side of the intersection is half-hidden, and the corner of the photo shows half of the road signs. This place is so familiar to him that it is the street opposite the studio.

In order to adjust the angle when taking pictures, Shao Zhan held his mobile phone and accidentally took a few of his knuckles in the photo.

Shao Zhan went out in the afternoon to "buy gifts" and kept getting to this point. Although he couldn't celebrate his birthday together, he still couldn't help but got there by car—want to get off and see him at the intersection.

Xu Sheng looked at the scenery outside the window and thought that the terminal of this train was completely contrary to the studio: "...Fuck."

Didn't they both run backwards.

Xu Sheng was too lazy to explain, and made a call directly.

"Brother, you are awesome," Xu Sheng said, "Guess where I am now?"

Shao Zhan leaned on the railing on the side and heard the sound of the whistle from the opposite side. He had a vague guess in his heart: "In the car?"

"It was on the bus back to school," Xu Sheng added, "I have half an hour to get to school."

Shao Zhan also rarely exploded a swear word. His swearing speech was completely different from his usual ethos. Xu Sheng could only hear him exploding in two situations, and in the other situation.

After Xu Sheng finished speaking, he felt that the situation between them was quite interesting. He leaned on the car window and laughed and asked, "...Should I come or you?"

"I'll come over."

Shao Zhan said, "You wait."

When Xu Sheng arrived at the school, Shao Zhan was still more than twenty minutes away from the station.

Running back and forth, sweating out, he went back to the bedroom and took a shower, and then waited for him when it was almost time.

Shao Zhan came back over the wall and walked up the stairs. Across the long corridor, he saw the teenager sitting at the door of his bedroom. Xu Sheng was too lazy to wipe his hair. He sent a message to Xu Yaping, and he saw it without raising his eyes. A dark shadow covered himself.

There is no need to wear school uniforms on weekends. Shao Zhan wears a white shirt with a tightly buttoned collar: "Get up."

Xu Sheng took a shower and put on a loose T-shirt with gloves, followed him into the room, and said casually, "What are you doing in the studio?"

Shao Zhan asked back: "What are you doing back to school?"

The answer speaks for itself.

After Xu Sheng entered the door, he suddenly remembered the phrase "still young" two months ago.There was too long a delay on the road, and the dormitory arrived early to turn off the lights. When the door was opened, I could barely see the furnishings in the house by the light of the sensor light in the corridor. When I closed it, there was only darkness in front of my eyes.

Xu Sheng drank all beverages at the dinner table at night, and the moment the door was closed, it was like drinking two pots of wine.

Relying on the light when he opened the door just now, he roughly recorded where Shao Zhan was, and he reached out his hand and touched the thin wrist of the young man—then he approached him, unscrupulously reaching his ear in the dark. Side: "Brother, try it."

"..."

Shao Zhan's kiss was pressed down fiercely, because it couldn't see the direction, it landed on the bridge of Xu Sheng's nose, and then it gradually went down.

Xu Sheng leaned on the door panel, his back hurting.

It took a while for Xu Sheng to adapt to the light in the bedroom, bumping into many obstacles all the way, and then going to bed. The time was turning 12 o'clock. He heard Shao Zhan in his ear and said: "Birthday happy."

Xu Sheng's half-dry hair stuck to the side of his face, slightly cool, but indescribably hot.

Both of them reacted, but Shao Zhan suddenly let go of him. Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes and was about to talk. Shao Zhan reached out to light up the lamp on the desk.

"Snapped."

His vision brightened for a moment, and Xu Sheng was still not used to it, half-squinting his eyes: "Fuck, do you still have this hobby?"

...

Xu Sheng's voice was already dumb, and after two seconds of hesitation, he said with no bottom line: "It's not impossible to turn on the light."

Shao Zhan did not answer. He raised his hand and slowly unbuttoned the first shirt button with one hand, followed by the second one.Xu Sheng's gaze didn't know whether it should fall on his well-knotted fingers, or the clavicle and abdominal muscles that were slowly revealed by the teenager... or it continued to the black belt around his waist.

Xu Sheng admired his boyfriend taking off his shirt with great interest.

It was not until Shao Zhan hung his shirt sideways on the back of the chair that he saw the altered tattoo on the shoulder blade of the boy. The mark was very new, glowing red, and it was just tattooed-the original non-mainstream flame. And wings, after the redesign, a scribbled letter "S" was added.

Xu Sheng was taken aback.

Shao Zhan didn't say much, only said four words: "Birthday present."
