TMISIU- chapter 31

Wei Ying did not go to Zhou Lusi, but Zhou Lusi took the initiative to find the door.

Zhou Lusi found the classroom and called Wei Ying out to the back door of the second grade classroom.

When she saw Lan Zhan in the last row looking at her, she pulled Wei Ying a little farther away and told him about a charity art exhibition.

On Sunday, the Gusu Art Museum would hold a large-scale charity painting exhibition, and Zhou Wanghan, as the former chairman of the Gusu Calligraphy and Painting Association, was naturally invited to participate.

The old man ignored the organizer’s naysayers and insisted on securing two booths for his granddaughter and only student, although the location was not very good.

“Don’t be embarrassed. It’s affirmation to be slammed by a professional painter. Just join in the fun. I think you can hand in the oil painting you finished last time. It fits the theme of this charity exhibition.”

While talking, Zhou Lusi glanced at the turquoise stone on Wei Ying’s wrist and smiled meaningfully.

She grew up not knowing how many small and large painting exhibitions she had participated in, and had long been accustomed to them, but this charity exhibition was indeed a rare opportunity.

Many young painters had scrambled to show their paintings, and even if they could not make a name for themselves, they could take the opportunity to meet more people.

Wei Ying agreed after thinking about it.

He was not interested in making a name for himself or meeting people, but he heard that the proceeds from the sale of paintings at this exhibition would be used as charitable donations for school in mountains, which he found very meaningful.

After confirming to participate in the exhibition, the first thing Wei Ying did was to go back to the classroom to find Lan Zhan.

He wanted to invite Lan Zhan to the exhibition to see his paintings.

But when he really arrived in front of Lan Zhan, he was inevitably a little nervous and rushed. He lay on his desk with his hands under his chin, looking at Lan Zhan eagerly and asking:

“Do you have time on Sunday afternoon?”

He did not open his mouth to invite, afraid that he was directly rejected.

Lan Zhan said, “I have something on Sunday.”

On Sunday, his cousin Lan Suyan left her son Feng Li to him, and she and her husband went on vacation. He missed it last time, this time it was not good to cancel it again.

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying’s bright and dark eyes and asked, “Why are you asking this question?”

Wei Ying hurriedly shook his head and said, “Nothing, just asking.”

Then he looked down and took out the textbook for the next class from the drawer.

Since Lan Zhan had something to do then forget it, there was nothing good about his paintings anyway.

He put the textbook on the desk, spread it out and looked down absent-mindedly.

Although he said to himself that it was nothing, he couldn’t help but be a little disappointed.

As soon as the club activities ended on Sunday, Zhou Lusi ran back to his grandfather’s house with Wei Ying to make preparations.

Wei Ying thought Zhou Lusi was going to prepare for the painting exhibition, but it turned out that the lady was going to put on makeup and dress up, so he was waiting boringly in the living room and teased Zhou Wanghan’s new parrot.

That parrot probably learned from Zhou Wanghan, and kept calling out: “Stinky girl! Falling in love again! Falling in love again!”

Wei Ying was happy, fed the parrot some food, and the parrot squawked more happily.

It was half an hour before Zhou Lusi came downstairs wearing a small dress and stepping on high heels.

She made a pistol gesture to the parrot and pulled up Wei Ying’s arm and said, “Let’s go, sister will dress you up.”

Wei Ying was taken aback, looking at Zhou Lusi’s almost unrecognizable face, his head shook quickly: “No, no, you, let me go.”

“No, you look like a junior high school student. When you stand there there is no momentum, do not worry, I won’t apply makeup, just a change of clothes.”

Zhou Lusi kindly pushed Wei Ying into the guest room, throwing a brand new black suit and a pair of leather shoes, then closed the door.

Boys were quick when changing clothes.

Before Zhou Lusi and her boyfriend had finished talking on the phone, the door of the guest room opened.

She looked over with her phone and was stunned.

Wei Ying was messing around with his cuffs at a loss.

This small suit from a major brand had a simple but well-cut style, lining the already slim person’s long leg and thin waist. There was a kind of noble and youthful spirit that she couldn’t say.

There was also an illusion that this teenager was from a superior background.

The boyfriend on the phone is pushing her, Zhou Lusi said in a good mood: “Don’t urge, I will find the beautiful brother in front of me to fall in love.”

Then snapped the phone and hung up.

Wei Ying suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Lusi when he heard the words, his expression a little frightened.

Zhou Lusi laughed out loud and said in her heart that… I would not dare.

She looked around Wei Ying a few times and kept nodding before saying: “This set of clothes is really good, it’s true that people look good in anything.”

Wei Ying was accustomed to wearing school uniforms, and asked uncomfortably, “Xue jie, why do you have boys’ clothes?” And it fit him perfectly.

Zhou Lusi said in a perfunctory tone: “I have a cousin who is about the same height and skinny as you. This is the clothes he bought but never wore so I lent it to you.”

Wei Ying nodded and said thank you, thinking that he must be more careful not to get his clothes dirty.

The two people were almost ready.

Zhou Lusi double-checked their makeup in the mirror, and then walked downstairs with Wei Ying.

Before he reached the first floor, he heard the doorbell.

Wei Ying saw that it was inconvenient for Zhou Lusi to step on high heels, so he walked quickly to open the door.

The door opened, and the clear sky outside instantly spread out. Wei Ying couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

He saw Lan Zhan looking at him in the sunny light.

The feeling at that moment was indescribable, as if the whole world was overexposed, only the person in front of him was clear and bright.

It was so bright that he couldn’t move his eyes.

When he looked at Lan Zhan, he didn’t know what expression he should put on his face or what words to say, only the joy and heartbeat that steamed up in his eyes and the corners of his mouth could not be hidden.

“In love again! In love again! In love again!” The parrot suddenly started yelling.

Wei Ying suddenly recovered, feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly stepped back a few steps, welcoming Lan Zhan in. Clenching his fingers, he asked in a whisper.

“Don’t you have something to do on Sunday? Why are you here?”

Lan Zhan walked into the door, looked down at Wei Ying calmly, his eyes went from the slightly pink cheeks to the thin narrow waist, then to the slender straight legs, then fell back to the pair of slightly twinkling eyes. He said flatly.

“There’s something. So I came over.”

Wei Ying felt that Lan Zhan’s gaze made him a little hot in the face, and was about to ask what the matter was, when another little boy of five or six year old rushed in at the door, fluttering his arms and bumping into Lan Zhan’s legs.

“Aw–” Feng Li covered his nose in pain, raised his head and glared at his uncle with anger. He rolled his eyes and saw Wei Ying.

His eyes lit up and he wowed, “Good-looking gege. ” Then he ran over and hugged Wei Ying’s leg.

Wei Ying was a little at a loss, bending down to look at the little boy on his lap, neither hugging nor driving him away.

Zhou Lusi stepped on high heels and saw this scene, laughed and said, “Oh, the little one and the big one are just the same.”

Lan Zhan took a look at Zhou Lusi.

Picking up Feng Li’s arm and pulling him from Wei Ying’s leg, he threw him aside and said to Wei Ying, “This is my nephew. It may be a bit annoying, sorry.”

Feng Li was furious, and hurriedly blinked at Wei Ying and said, “Gege, don’t listen to uncle’s nonsense, I’m not annoying at all.”

Wei Ying couldn’t help but smile when he looked at the little one and the big one.

Zhou Lusi said happily, “Li Li, this is your uncle’s classmate. Don’t mess up the seniority.”

Feng Li didn’t like this big sister who always likes to rub his face, and didn’t understand the seniority. He just wanted to lean over to Wei Ying, shouting gege.

But his uncle Lan Zhan always carried him away with one hand before he could hug his legs.

“Are you going to the art exhibition with us?” Wei Ying asked Lan Zhan with a smile on his lips, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable joy.

His secret love suddenly turned clear after a few days of rain, and the sky burst. It was almost certain that Lan Zhan liked him.

Lan Zhan lifted Feng Li away again, nodded and said, “Take him to the exhibition to cultivate his artistic cells.”

Feng Li was held by one arm and finally woke up: “Uncle, you lied to me again? Where is the arcade?”

Zhou Lusi rubbed Feng Li’s face and said with affection, “Li Li, you are still too young.”

Feng Li walked out of the gate in despair and went to sit in the garden, sulking.

Zhou Lusi was about to say let’s go when she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten her perfume, and after a few words, she walked upstairs again.

Only Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were left in the living room, and a parrot that finally closed its mouth.

The atmosphere suddenly calmed down, as quiet as a soft and dense pool of water.

Wei Ying’s previous calmness ran clean.

He glanced at Lan Zhan at first, then suddenly averted his gaze, but didn’t know where to put his gaze, so he lowered his head and fiddled with the cufflinks he hadn’t buttoned just now.

“Come here.” Lan Zhan said to him suddenly.

Wei Ying’s heart jumped, maybe it was too quiet, but he actually felt that Lan Zhan’s voice was lower than usual, which made him a little itchy.

He bowed his head and walked to Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, lifted it up, and started to button the shiny cufflinks slowly, the cufflinks flickering in the flick of his fingertips.

Wei Ying breathed very lightly, staring at the button and Lan Zhan’s slender finger, the tips of his ears were inexplicably hot.

After the button was fastened, Wei Ying actually felt a sense of relief, and the agitated heart calmed a little bit.

He raised his head and said softly to Lan Zhan, “Thank you.”

Lan Zhan looked at him. His gaze slowly moved down and then fell on the side of his neck. He whispered to him: “Turn around.”

Wei Ying was startled, and turned back obediently to Lan Zhan.

Then he felt a hand smoothing his shirt collar, and he obediently bowed his neck and lowered his head slightly, exposing the back of his neck and collar in full.

The living room was so quiet that you could hear the sound of fingertips rubbing the fabric of the collar, but the hand suddenly touched the weak and sensitive skin of the back of his neck gently between movements.

Wei Ying couldn’t help but tremble.

Obviously he couldn’t see it, but he actually felt inexplicably as if a line of sight was actually falling on the back of his neck.

This feeling made his cheeks hot irresistibly.

The pulse on the wrist was beating, the heart in the chest was beating, and the arteries in the neck were beating, as if the whole world was beating incessantly.

The time seems to be short and long.

After finally finishing up, Wei Ying turned around and said “thank you” to Lan Zhan again, but this time the voice was lower than last time.

He casted his trembling gaze with nowhere to go to the corner of the living room, just to meet the parrot’s gaze.

The parrot tilted his head to look at him, making him feel a guilty conscience.

When Zhou Lusi packed her cosmetics and perfume and went downstairs, she felt that the atmosphere in the living room on the first floor was a bit strange.

She first looked at Wei Ying and found that the boy, who was even more beautiful today, had wet eyes and slightly red cheeks.

She suddenly looked at Lan Zhan aside suspiciously, the old friend’s expression was still indifferent and calm, and there was no flaw at all.

Zhou Lusi glanced at the parrot in the corner of the living room again, wishing the parrot to tell her what happened here just now.

But the parrot did not understand and began to scold her at the top of its lungs.

“In love again! In love again! In love again!”

Zhou Lusi hit the parrot twice with the pistol gesture, and said to the two: “It’s getting late, let’s take the kid Feng Li and go!”

Once other people were there, Wei Ying instantly felt that he was more natural. He walked out the door with the two of them.

Lan Zhan walked into the garden and relentlessly lifted Feng Li, who was squatting on the ground with a branch and poking in the mud.

Feng Li flapped his wings like a chicken, shouting “gege help” to Wei Ying.

Wei Ying laughed and couldn’t help but say to Lan Zhan. “Lan Zhan, you should be gentle with the little children.”

Zhou Lusi sarcastically said, “Will he be gentle with others?”

Lan Zhan let go of Feng Li’s hand and glanced at Wei Ying in silence.

Wei Ying again had an inexplicable sense of weakness.
