It was September 18th, and the weather was fine.

Today is the first day of the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and except for the hard-pressed senior high school students, the rest have left school.

Ten o'clock in the morning, inside Fu Gui Yuan.

Lu You sat alone at the desk in the bedroom, holding the white cardboard with one hand to prevent it from moving, and holding the carving knife with the other hand, pressing a little bit along the thin black line on the cardboard.

In the huge room, only the friction between the blade and the cardboard makes a "creaking" sound.

Twenty minutes later, the blade returned to the starting point of the knife, and Lu You slowly exhaled a breath, and the tense nerves relaxed.

"Whew~ It's finally done!"

Lu You picked up the cardboard and broke off the excess to form a delicate pattern.

It resembles a picture frame on all sides, with a field of flowers at the bottom and two large and small figures standing on it.

After some meticulous modification, the edge of the pattern is cut and flattened, and it is really done.

Lu You put the cardboard in his hand together with the other pile next to him, adjusted the position in order one by one, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The next thing is up to Lao Liang."

At this time, a familiar and pleasant melody sounded in my ears. Lu You subconsciously showed a smile on his face, and he answered the phone as soon as possible.

[Good morning!] Boyfriend! 】

"Good morning, girlfriend."

[I didn't go over to accompany you, did you miss me? 】

"Little, not much."

Before school yesterday, Tang Wan told Lu You that she had something to do during the day today and couldn't go to Fuguiyuan to accompany him.

Even if Lu You didn't ask her what she was busy with, she could guess in her heart that nine times out of ten she was preparing a birthday gift for herself to create a surprise.

So she pretended not to know very cooperatively, and put on a depressed mood to let her let herself kiss and hug, which was too addictive.

This wave, blood mom earns!

[You can't say that! It doesn't reflect my place in your heart at all. 】

"I'm stupid and can't say nice love words. Why don't you show me how? ”

[You should say this, 'Wanwan, I miss you so much, every organ and every cell in my body is clamoring to see you...... 'yue, it's disgusting, I can't stand it, you better stop talking.' 】

"I'm not going to say it!"

Lu You rubbed the goosebumps off his arm and said, "When can you finish your work?" Can we meet today? ”

[Absolutely!] My Scarf...... Bah! I'll be done soon, and I'll be out in the afternoon. What about you? Are you done with your gift to Auntie? 】

Lu You very cooperatively ignored the word "scarf" that Tang Wan had said, and said: "My work is over, and I still need to paint and color, and hand it over to my tablemate in the first semester of high school." ”

[I remember, you made a 360° pop-up book, is it difficult?] 】

Lu You's gaze fell on the pile of cardboard that was beginning to take shape on the diagonal diagonal corner, and said, "If you want to start from scratch and do it all, it's still quite difficult." Mainly design patterns and post-painting, I'm really not good at it. ”

[And you won't?] 】

"There must be! I didn't learn to draw, so I didn't have any art skills. ”

At first, Lu You thought that one person could do all the work, but when he saw the angular blue robot he had drawn, he was very wise to find a professional.

No wonder Li Yu doesn't like to play Draw and guess with me, it makes sense.

[Then what part of the work are you responsible for?] 】

"Cut along a solid line."

[Nine folds? 】

"And threading cardboard with a needle and thread."

[Which needle?] 】

Lu You:(; a_a)

"Can you be a bit of a lady, you can't speak without opening your yellow mouth, right?"

[Slightly! I'll just say, I'll say! You have the ability to gag me. 】

"What's the block?"

【……】

[Sure enough, the saying "things gather by like, people by groups" makes sense. 】

Lu You chuckled, his eyes swept over the time in the upper right corner of the phone, and said, "Do you have anything else to say?" Without me, I hung up the phone and went to make lunch. ”

【What did you buy?】 】

"Yangcheng Lake hairy crab, spicy snails, cheese baked Australian dragon, boiled super large nine-section shrimp, nourishing duck soup, raw pickled large skin shrimp, oil consumption cabbage heart, and snow skin moon cakes."

[You! Can you eat so much alone? 】

"Well, it can't be helped."

Lu You sighed and said regretfully: "I originally wanted to eat with my girlfriend at noon, but unfortunately she didn't come, so I had to enjoy it alone." ”

[I didn't say I wouldn't come! But I really can't go out at noon, can you save it for dinner and then make a big meal? Please~]

"Okay, I'll tease you."

Lu You got up from his seat, came to the window, opened the curtains tightly, and the dazzling sunlight made him squint.

"I'll go out to find my classmates later, and I'll settle lunch by the way."

[Classmates? Male or female? What is the last name? Is it good-looking? Big breasts? Is the ass round or not? How does it compare to me? 】

"Man, you've seen it, Yuan Wenliang, and my girlfriend is Ye Hongshu."

[Oh, then you go, go home early after eating, don't let me stay alone in the empty room, lonely. 】

Lu You doesn't know what to use to describe his girlfriend, he can only say that he is very good and beautiful.

"I'll hang up, see you in the afternoon."

[Not allowed! I'll hang first! 】

As soon as the words fell, a crackling sound came, and the phone screen jumped back to the VX chat box.

"Huh! It really is! ”

Lu You shook his head with a smile, stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket, turned around to clean up the tabletop, and left the bedroom with a plastic bag containing cardboard.

……

Twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

According to the address information provided by Yuan Wenliang, Lu You came to a restaurant that was obviously outdated. The shop is small in size, but there is a constant stream of customers.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuan Wenliang, who was sitting in the central seat, waving at him.

"Brother Lu, here."

Lu You sat down opposite Yuan Wenliang, put the plastic bag on the table, and pushed it in front of him.

"Come, ask to send it to you on VX, and I'll take care of the rest."

Yuan Wenliang lifted the mouth of the bag and glanced inside, and said, "Your early design is also specially looking for someone to paint?" ”

"Yes."

"Then why don't you just find someone to customize? Save time. ”

Lu You smiled slightly.

"I'd love to."

Yuan Wenliang was silent, worthy of being a rich man, but capricious.

"It makes sense."

Lu You poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all in one go, and asked, "Have you ordered food?" ”

"No, I'm waiting for you to come."

"I've never been here, so you can recommend it."

"Preserved claypot rice, the taste is excellent."

"Okay, let's order this."

Yuan Wenliang immediately got up and walked to the counter, finished ordering in a few words, and took out two bottles of glass-packed soy milk from the freezer next to him, and returned to his seat.

"Brother Lu, I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance, and may the full moon be reunited."

As he spoke, he put a bottle of soy milk in front of Lu You.

"I don't have any mooncakes, so I'll send this?"

"Courtesy is light and affection is heavy."

"It's light enough."

Having said that, Lu You didn't dislike it, so he took a sip of the straw.

"Speaking of which, Lao Liang, there is something I have been unable to figure out, I hope you can help me solve my doubts."

"Please."

"You clearly said that you didn't know Ye Hongshu before, why did she find you directly? You weren't handsome at the time, your body was still weak, and you didn't have anything but a little personal character in your speech. ”

No matter how good Rao is Yuan Wenliang's temper is, his face can't help but darken.

"Brother Lu, can you be merciful?"

"I've already given you a lot of face, otherwise I can say it even more ugly, do you want to try?"

"No need."

Yuan Wenliang shook his head, he knew that he used to be quite a wastewood.

"I once asked Red Crisp why he came to me if we didn't know each other. It's just that I don't know her, but she knows me since elementary school. ”

This is an inappropriate romance plot!

Lu You suddenly became interested, and his ears pricked up, for fear of missing a word.

"Let's talk about it."

Yuan Wenliang held the cold glass bottle in both hands, lowered his eyes, and said, "My family has some achievements in calligraphy and painting, you know." ”

"Well, and then what?"

"When I was in elementary school, my grandfather would occasionally go to the Children's Palace to teach children how to draw, and he would often take me with him and use me as an example to teach them. And Red Crisp is one of the children in the audience. ”

"Then you don't know anyone? You can't be afraid of society at a young age, right? ”

Yuan Wenliang hit one of Galen's skills again, which was obviously a tacitization.

Lu You frowned, recalled the scene of the first conversation between the two, and said, "But I remember that you took the initiative to greet me, which is what the social fear will do?" ”

"That was the second greatest feat of my life."

"What is the first?"

Yuan Wenliang's face was a little hot, and he snorted: "Write love poems to Hongshu." ”

"Shhhh

Lu You's toes were clasped tightly, and there seemed to be 10,000 ants crawling all over his body.

"Don't you feel embarrassed?"

"Aren't you and Tang Wan also having fun?"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, retracting their gaze in various ways. After confirming the eyes, everyone is in love. When you meet someone you like, the bottom line clicks off.

"The topic is far away, you continue."

"Hongshu admires my paintings very much, but he is too shy to talk to me."

Lu You: ???

Shy? You say that a girl whose eyes can freeze people to death is shy?

"After I went to junior high school, my grandfather had a problem with his legs and feet, so it was inconvenient to go to the Children's Palace, and we lived in different areas, and we couldn't share the same school.

So she didn't see me again for three years. But the longing in my heart never faded. It wasn't until high school that we got to know each other through your mouth. ”

"it!"

Although Lu You himself has a beautiful girlfriend, it does not prevent him from envying Yuan Wenliang.

"Did you make up for the sky with your body in your last life, there is such a girl who has been thinking about you for so long!"

"Not impossible."

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter brought two claypot rice and put them in front of the two of them.

"These are the two preserved claypot rice you ordered, and one black pepper cowboy bone is not ready, you need to wait a while."

Yuan Wenliang smiled and said politely: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"You're welcome, please use it slowly."

Then, the waiter turned and left.

Lu You asked while disassembling the chopsticks, "Why do you have one more, can you eat it so much?" ”

"No, I'm going to come later, I'll give it to her."

"Huh? You're still going on a date today? Then I asked you to draw, wouldn't it be a trouble for you? ”

"It doesn't matter."

Yuan Wenliang turned the steaming rice with chopsticks, revealing the charred pot underneath.

Whether the claypot rice is well made or not, what you look at is a piece of pot, burnt but not mushy, crispy and delicious.

"I'm already worried about what I should do with Hongshu, and you just gave me a reason."

"How's she?"

"More than enough to meet your requirements."

"That'll do."
