After the letter was opened, a line of graceful calligraphy jumped out, saying never to leave, to be with him all the time. It was clearly a romantic promise between lovers, but it drove Shen Liang crazy. His facial muscles trembled strangely, turned around and crawled to find the matchbox, lit the fire, threw the letter in, and burned the Chinese textbook together.

The flames reflected in Shen Liang’s eyes, and shone on his face, magnifying his nervousness countless times, presenting a gloomy state. He stared at the burning letter and textbook on the ground.

“Since you like me so much, then I can do anything to you, right?”

Shen Liang’s expression was complicated, with fear, restlessness, vigilance, and madness. His facial features were distorted, but his voice was very gentle, like a lover’s whisper, “Go where you should go, don’t come to me again, leave for good.”

The flames on the textbook and letter were spreading, roaring wordlessly and uncommunicatively and yelling.

Shen Liang wiped his face and wiped the cold sweat on his clothes. He smiled and said in a more gentle tone, “Don’t worry, I will go to the Academy of Fine Arts and bring your dreams with me.”

When the textbook and letter on the ground were almost burnt out, a gust of cold wind rushed in from the half-closed window. Those ashes and broken pieces of paper were blown up in an instant, Shen Liang was defenseless, his face was covered with ashes, he screamed and scratched.

Huang Dan next door was sketching Chen Shi. He immediately dropped his sketchbook and pencil and ran out when he heard the movement. When he saw the young boy in the yard, his eyelids twitched, “Your face……”

There were scratches on Shen Liang’s face. Blood dripped from the deep places, and blood oozed from the shallow places, he scratched himself, and ten nails were stuffed with flesh and skin, mixed with some ash.

At this moment, Shen Liang’s chest heaved greatly, and there was a sound of growling from his throat, and he stared with bloody eyes, like a devil.

Huang Dan frowned, and he called out, “Shen Liang.”

The sound was not loud, Shen Liang’s eyeballs rolled for a moment, he seemed to have regained some consciousness, but he didn’t seem to, he lifted his foot and walked towards Huang Dan step by step.

Huang Dan smelled the blood on Shen Liang’s body, he pursed his lips, and stood still.

Shen Liang was getting closer and closer to Huang Dan, and suddenly a series of footsteps came from behind, accompanied by Chen Shi’s voice, “Shen Liang, what do you want to do?”

The figure suddenly froze, and Shen Liang lowered his eyelids, “Nothing.”

Chen Shi approached Huang Dan, he glanced at Shen Liang, frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with your face?”

Shen Liang still had his eyelids lowered and didn’t raise his head. Beads of blood dripped slowly and landed on his white sweater, “I don’t know what allergy is this, and scratched it myself.”

Huang Dan said, “You were shouting.”

Shen Liang’s chest didn’t rise and fall so much, he wiped the blood on the sweater, “That hurts.”

Huang Dan wanted to look into the room, but Shen Liang had already run into the room before him, closed the window first, then came out and locked the door, “I’m going to the hospital.”

After saying that, Shen Liang turned around and left, and soon left the courtyard.

Huang Dan looked at the closed door, and then at the few drops of blood on the ground, “Shen Liang doesn’t seem to be allergic.”

Chen Shi wrapped his arm around other’ waist, “Leave him alone.”

Huang Dan removed the hand on his waist, walked not far away and picked up a scrap of paper with burnt marks on the edge, it should not have been blown in from the outside.

Looking at the words on it, Huang Dan knew it was a Chinese textbook for the third year of high school, and he also knew which text it was. He did a spot check on Chen Shi two days ago, and he couldn’t be wrong.

There are only three high school seniors in this yard, except for him and Chen Shi, the rest is Shen Liang.

Huang Dan couldn’t figure it out, he remembered this text by heart, it didn’t have any special meaning, why did Shen Liang burn it? Or did Shen Liang burn the entire textbook?

No, Huang Dan pinched the scrap of paper with his fingertips and exerted some strength, he knew what it was.

It’s that letter.

Huang Dan didn’t understand love before, but now he understands that when a person likes another person, there will be light in the eyes when looking at the other person, which cannot be hidden. When Shen Liang was with the girl from No. 1 Middle School, there was no light in the eyes.

Everyone in the studio thought that they were good at painting, that they were both talented and good-looking, and they were a good match, and they were very suitable as a couple.

However, the two have not had a formal relationship, and they say that they are good friends.

In everyone’s opinion, the change in the relationship between the two of them is a matter of taking a step forward. Whoever takes that step first will show that whoever likes the other person more.

Huang Dan doesn’t think so.

He used to think that Shen Liang just enjoyed being admired by others. The girl’s eyes followed him, and some kind of psychology would be satisfied.

After Shen Liang disappeared for a few days and came back, Huang Dan’s thoughts have changed. He feels that Shen Liang’s attitude towards the girl is a bit like the situation when he killed the chicken. He will first appease and comfort the chicken, and hope that when he wipes the chicken’s neck, it will be smoother.

No matter what kind it is, Huang Dan can tell that Shen Liang doesn’t have that kind of feeling towards the girl.

At that time, Huang Dan accidentally ran into the scene where the girl handed Shen Liang a letter, including the indifference on his face when he looked at the letter after the girl left.

Although Huang Dan failed to witness the follow-up, he was sure that Shen Liang would not keep the letter.

It must have been thrown somewhere.

Just now, when Shen Liang was about to recite the text, he found that the letter he had thrown away had come back again. He was very scared, so he lit a fire and burned the letter and the textbook together.

As for why Shen Liang yelled, it should be that the wind blew into the room when the letter and textbook were not finished burning.

Because the window was originally open, Shen Liang closed it before going out, and Huang Dan found that there was ashes in Shen Liang’s neck. He had a ghost in his heart, even if he touched by a little ashes or a scrap of paper on his body, he would be terrified.

Shen Liang scratched his face badly because it was covered with ashes.

Pushing all the way down, Huang Dan quickly sorted out his whole thoughts, feeling that the fog in front of him had faded a little, and he was one step closer to the truth.

Huang Dan stood in the wind and looked around the yard, bricks, tiles, moss, garbage in the corners, withered leaves, bare branches…… too many things were full of traces of corrosion by the years.

He looked to the second floor, and there were a few slender branches hanging down, like the old landlady who was about to die.

Where is the ghost?

Huang Dan stretched out his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows a few times. He really hoped to see a ghost, the sooner the better, one or two, or even a group is fine.

Can or cannot……

Or the ghost has always been by his side, but he didn’t notice it?

Huang Dan narrowed his eyes. He had just entered a state of contemplation when he was pulled out by the heat on his lips.

Chen Shi’s lips stayed on the youngster’s lips for a moment, “Classmate Zhang, stop thinking about it, go back and continue sketching for me.”

Huang Dan said that he was not in the mood to sketch anymore.

Chen Shi was not happy, took him by the hand and went back to the house, hugged him and kissed him as soon as the door closed.

Huang Dan was kissed and he felt hot all over, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back. He panted lightly, “Don’t make trouble, or I will have to take a bath again tonight.”

Chen Shi put his hand into the youngster’s padded jacket, bent his back, pressed against the other’s forehead, and said viciously, “Zhang Shuran, let me tell you, it’s useless to say anything, your mind doesn’t know who to run to.”

Huang Dan opened his mouth and was doing preparatory work to speak on the tip of his tongue. Before words could jump out, all the sounds that came out were eaten by Chen Shi, and his body was sticky. If he continued like this, he would really have to go to the bathhouse to take a bath at night.

“I’m in mood.”

Chen Shi squeezed the youngster’s chin, and he hummed lazily, “Really?”

Huang Dan nodded, “Yes.”

Chen Shi took a deep breath, and he scraped the youngster’s pencil tip, “Go, draw me more handsome.”

Huang Dan had just picked up the pencil, before he could grab the sketchbook, he was embraced from behind by two hands, and Chen Shi’s rough panting sounded beside his ears, “No, I can’t bear it, you help me first.”

The hand on the waist was very tight, and Huang Dan couldn’t turn around, so he could only twist his neck back, “I will when you sleep.”

Chen Shi kissed his eyes, nose, and lips, “Then I’m exhausted.”

Huang Dan said, “It will not break down.”

Chen Shi’s forehead was sweating, and his eyes were red. He brought the youngster to him, “It will break down, and there may be some sequelae and complications. My heart will also be hurt.”

Huang Dan，“……”

Chen Shi kissed the youngster’s ear, and lightly brushed his tongue, “Zhang Shuran, wife, help, help me, okay?”

Hearing his coquettish tone, Huang Dan was a little dizzy, and agreed.

Nearly an hour later, Huang Dan lay under the blanket, his head still hidden, cold.

Standing in front of the bed, Chen Shi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “That’s where it goes, ah? It won’t work. Will I still have a good life in the future?”

The people in the bed ignored him.

Chen Shi sat down, pulled the quilt down, reached into the quilt, touched the youngster’s smooth face, and couldn’t help pinching it, “Why are you so tired? Didn’t I give you head too?”

Huang Dan poked his head out, “There are two differences between us. One, I finish it within five minutes, but it takes you longer each time, with an average of half an hour. Two, when you give me head, it’s very easy and doesn’t take much effort, but when I give you head, the muscles on my face will all be sore.”

The corners of Chen Shi’s lips curled up, and he shrugged triumphantly, “That can’t be helped, Gege is born with it.”

Huang Dan said, “I know, you are still able to grow up.”

Chen Shi pressed up through the quilt, held up the youngster’s face and kissed him, “Little guy, I knew you were looking forward to that day, don’t worry, for you, I am willing to work hard to grow up, and then I will send you to the sky to watch the stars and the moon.”

Huang Dan’s mouth twitched, and he reminded seriously, “Don’t overthrow the seedlings.”

Chen Shi，“……”

Huang Dan yawned, with his head tilted to one side, and could fall asleep anytime, “It’s almost ten o’clock, go to sleep.”

“You don’t wash your feet, you’re so lazy.”

Chen Shi went to pull the small iron sheet under the stove to the end. He held the teapot in one hand and the foot towel on the rope with the other, kicked the basin to the bed with his feet, poured water into the basin and said, “Get up and soak your feet.”

Huang Dan lifted the quilt and sat up, rolled up his long johns and put his feet in the basin, sighing comfortably.

Chen Shi lowered his head and slipped his shoes, “Go to the side.”

Huang Dan made room for Chen Shi, “Has Shen Liang not come back yet?”

Chen Shi touched his toes and rubbed the soles of his feet with thick calluses, “I didn’t hear any noise.”

Huang Dan’s instep was itchy and painful, “Be gentle.”

Chen Shi propped his hands on the edge of the bed, leaned his upper body back, and looked at the back of the youngster’s head, “Hey, Zhang Shuran, do you like me?”

Huang Dan said, “Like you.”

Chen Shi snorted, but the corners of his mouth rose a little, “If I don’t ask, you wouldn’t tell.”

Huang Dan said, “I told you at the station.”

Chen Shi snorted again, and rubbed the soles of his feet upwards, clamping a piece of flesh on the youngster’s calf with his toes, with light force, “How long ago was that? If you like me, you have to talk about it occasionally, do you hear me?”

Huang Dan said, “You also didn’t say it occasionally.”

Chen Shi blurted out, “Nonsense, I tell you every morning when I wake up!”

After he finished speaking, there was a boom in his head, and the blood all over his body rushed to his face, “Damn it, Chen Shi, you are really hopeless.”

Huang Dan was taken aback, “I don’t know.”

Chen Shi stared at the youngster, his ears burning hot, “You sleep like a pig, of course you don’t know.”

“……”

Huang Dan said, “Then you can tell when I’m not asleep.”

Chen Shi turned his head, “Good idea.”

Knowing that he was shy, Huang Dan didn’t continue, just reached out and touched his chin. It was a little hard, “Let’s go to Carrefour tomorrow and buy you a razor.”

Chen Shi grabbed the hand on his chin, leaned over and took a few bites, “We both are men, why don’t you grow a beard?”

“Genetic problems, my dad has very little hair.”

Huang Dan lifted his two feet out of the footbath, straightened them in mid-air.

Chen Shi stretched out his hand to hold it and put it on his lap, frowning, he wiped it with the towel carefully, “Damn it, I’ve never served anyone like this before.”

Huang Dan’s lips curled up.

Chen Shi saw it, and his heart skipped a beat, “Zhang Shuran, you laugh……”

Huang Dan tilted his head, “Huh?”

Chen Shi swallowed his saliva, thinking that this kid was here to collect debts, seduce his soul all day long, he quickly wiped his feet, and hugged him directly into the bed without pouring the foot washing water outside.

Huang Dan woke up at night.

He got out of bed and urinated in the spittoon and went to bed. Chen Shi’s hands and feet were wrapped around him like tree vines, wrapping him tightly. Fortunately, it was winter and he didn’t feel the heat.

“Mr. Lu, are you there?”

System, “Speak.”

Huang Dan asked, “In what form does the ghost in area 120 exist?”

System, “All kinds of strange forms.”

Huang Dan asked again, “Are ghosts incorporeal, or are they just like people?”

System rarely asks instead of answering, “If it’s the same, what’s the difference between a human and a ghost?”

Huang Dan said, “I am asking Mr. Lu.”

System, “Humans are different, and so are ghosts.”

Huang Dan sees the dim light in void shining through the curtains, that is to say, some ghosts are entities.

If it is an entity, it will be difficult to find out if it is mixed in the crowd.

Chen Shi’s voice was vague, “Did you piss and shake the sleepiness into the spittoon as well?”

Touching the hand on his waist, Huang Dan’s fingertips slid in, and the touch was rough, still a little hot and humid, and he rubbed the callus in that palm with a bit of indifference.

Chen Shi’s breathing was heavy, and he exhaled on the youngster’s neck, “Sleep!”

Huang Dan said, “You sleep yourself, leave me alone.”

Chen Shi’s forehead twitched, you fucking tickled my heart, how am I going to sleep? He turned over and pressed up, grabbed the youngster’s hand and pulled it to the top of his head, gnashing his teeth and said, “Zhang Shuran, you are doing something wrong to me just because you are a minor!”

Listening to his half-grievance, half-angry accusation, Huang Dan moved his restrained hand, implying, who is doing wrong to whom?

Chen Shi said that wasn’t it because you were unruly, “If you light the fire, put it out yourself.”

Huang Dan said, “I gave you head before going to bed.”

Chen Shi kissed him on the neck and bit his collarbone, “Don’t you understand the meaning of young and vigorous? Gege, I, am in such a situation right now. Slightest touch and I’m going to explode at any point. You can figure it out. If you dare to let go of it, this quilt can burn a hole.”

Huang Dan shuddered from being bitten, “It hurts.”

Chen Shi stopped biting and licked instead, making his cheeks, ears, and neck wet, “These days are cloudy, there is no sun, and the pants are not dry. If this one gets wet on my body, I will be going to the studio tomorrow in my free time. I don’t care, but I’m your man anyway, so I can’t embarrass you. Don’t you think so?”

“Can’t say no to you.”

Huang Dan pushed his head away from his neck and rubbed his body down.

After more than half an hour, Huang Dan came out of the bed. He was very tired and fell asleep after simply rinsing his mouth.

Chen Shi was still reminiscing, he smashed his mouth in the dark, the person in his arms fell asleep, but he lost sleepiness, “You only know to cause trouble for me.”

“Zhang Shuran, Chen Shi’s wife?”

“Um……”

“It’s nothing, just calling you, sleep.”

Chen Shi lowered his head, pinched the youngster’s face and kissed him, and stuck his tongue in. After a while, he withdrew and kissed the youngster’s hair, “I like you.”

The next morning, Shen Liang came back. The scratches on his face had been cleaned up in the hospital. His complexion was very bad, his skull seemed to be drilled by an electric drill, and he couldn’t close his eyes from pain.

When Wang Qi came to look for him, Shen Liang was about to drink the medicine, and the smell in the room was very unpleasant, mixed with the musty smell from wet clothes.

When Shen Liang opened the door and saw the person coming, his face showed displeasure, “Officer Wang, I have told you several times, that letter has been lost long ago, I haven’t read it.”

Wang Qi stepped in, “I’m here for something else.”

Shen Liang picked up the medicine and drank it in one gulp, his mouth was filled with bitter taste, his stomach rolled and he wanted to retch, “What else?”

Wang Qi didn’t sit down, but stood in the room, “According to the investigation, a few days before the accident, someone overheard you talking to the deceased, saying that if she wants to do something, she should do it. Have you ever said that?”

That sentence is weird.

After Wang Qi got this information, he thought about it that way, and he even wondered, did Shen Liang know that the girl would die?

But that is impossible, no one can predict tomorrow.

Shen Liang put down the cup and found a rag to wipe off the water stains on the table, “I can’t remember.”

Wang Qi stared at him, “No impression at all?”

Shen Liang looked apologetic, “I really don’t have any impression, I don’t know how many words I have to say in a day, how can I remember them.”

Wang Qi smiled, “Student Shen is right.”

He looked around the room calmly, and changed the subject, “How is your relationship with Chen Shi next door?”

Shen Liang said, “It’s okay.”

Wang Qi said, “He draws better than you.”

Listening to his tone of statement of the facts, Shen Liang’s eyes flashed a hint of evil, which disappeared in a flash, “It’s no big deal, there are many people who study art, and there must be someone who can draw better than me.”

He said with a smile, “Sometimes people tend to become a frog in a well. If you don’t go out, you will never know how big it is outside, and you will think how great you are.”

Wang Qi felt that there was something in these words, and there was sarcasm hidden in them.

Shen Liang’s unintentional gaze paused suddenly, and he saw something clearly. His pupils shrank, and his lowered hands trembled, “Officer Wang, I feel a little uncomfortable, and I want to rest.”

Wang Qi could see that his face was pale, “Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”

Shen Liang said no, just lie down for a while, “If there is any problem, Officer Wang can come to me at any time, walk slowly.”

Wang Qi raised his eyebrows. When he reached the door, he looked back and saw that the boy was already sweating profusely. “You really don’t need it?”

“I know my own body well, goodbye.”

After Shen Liang closed the door, he immediately walked to the side of the bed and squatted down, reaching under the bed to feel for it.

For a brief second or two, Shen Liang felt the hairs on that arm stand up, he fell back and sat on the ground, there was nothing under the bed, and the room was eerily quiet.

After a few minutes, Shen Liang went to find a broom, swept out the scrap of paper under the bed, and burned it without looking at it.

After doing this, Shen Liang’s nerves were still tense, and he began to rummage around the room, turning things around in a mess, and finally he found several scraps of paper, all of which were letters with words on them.

After confirming that it was really gone, Shen Liang quickly lit a match and threw it in. After the shredded paper was completely incinerated, he closed his eyes, took a long breath, and felt like came back to life.

Wang Qi stopped in the alley, shielded himself from the wind with his hands, and pressed the lighter to light a cigarette.

As a law enforcement officer, he must decide the case absolutely based on evidence, and he cannot rely on imagination, brainstorming, guessing, thinking, or feeling to determine the direction of the case.

Wang Qi stood there smoking a cigarette. Now that he had checked everything that needed to be investigated, all the evidence was unfolded before his eyes, but he still only came to one conclusion, the girl committed suicide.

But Wang Qi just couldn’t believe it.

He exhaled a puff of smoke, remembering a joke made by a colleague. The colleague said that they are policemen, not Taoist priests, and they can only arrest people.

The manpower and material resources in the bureau are limited, and they are busy investigating other cases every day. Only Wang Qi can’t let it go, but he feels that every one piece is clear before his eyes and there is nothing to investigate.

Just like that Shen Liang, Wang Qi noticed his abnormality, but couldn’t find out his murder motive, the opportunity to commit the crime, not to mention the way of committing the crime is beyond human ability.

Wang Qi rubbed his forehead and murmured to himself, “It’s so fucking evil……”

The whole morning, Huang Dan didn’t see Shen Liang, and he stopped to think about things after painting for a while. On the left was the smell of candy wafting from Zhou Jiaojiao’s mouth, and on the right was the smell of tobacco from Chen Shi’s mouth and nose, which was endless.

Eating candies has its own hidden dangers, as you can tell by looking at Zhou Jiaojiao. She put a lot of candies in the bag hanging under the easel, and some of them have turned into candy wrappers.

“Shuran, help me take a look.”

Zhou Jiaojiao turned the easel towards Huang Dan, “I think my painting is better than yesterday.”

Huang Dan looked at it, “Well, the progress is not small.”

He was not surprised by Zhou Jiaojiao’s progress. He had already discovered that she was talented, but she was in a loose state every day, so it could be said that she didn’t take it to heart.

Zhou Jiaojiao smiled happily, “Really, then, Shuran, do you think I can be admitted to university at my current level?”

Before Huang Dan could make a sound, Chen Shi on the other side spoke, “He’s not a Daluo immortal, how would he know if you can pass the university entrance exam?”

Zhou Jiaojiao hmph, “It has nothing to do with you.”

Chen Shi glanced past Huang Dan and looked directly at Zhou Jiaojiao. He was smiling, but it made people shudder.

Zhou Jiaojiao bit down on the candy in her mouth.

When Huang Dan heard the movement at the door, he saw that Teacher Zhang and Teacher Liu had come over. The college students had winter vacation, and they had plenty of time, so they came to the studio every day to give guidance.

Teacher Zhang was wearing a black leather jacket, no sweater inside, just a thin sweater, and Teacher Liu next to him was wearing a cotton gown, which was about the same length as Zhou Jiaojiao’s big down jacket, and both of them wanted style rather than warmth.

The teacher came, and the studio became quiet. There was no sound of moving the easel and chairs, only the rustling of pencils.

If it wasn’t for Huang Dan, Chen Shi wouldn’t even come to the studio, he had finished his painting long ago. Teacher Liu came over to see that there was nothing to say about the painting, so he asked him to go out and finish smoking before coming in.

Chen Shi lazily walked out of the studio, half of the cigarette in his mouth didn’t burn its butts, and the people he was waiting for came out.

Huang Dan washed his hands with soap at the sink. It was very cold and his fingers were stiff. He rubbed them and brought them to his mouth to exhale, “Go to Carrefour?”

Chen Shi said yes, “Hurry up.”

Huang Dan followed Chen Shi, left the studio far away, turned across the main road and walked to a secluded path, his hands were wrapped in warm palms.

Chen Shi covered the youngster, and used his own body temperature to drive away the cold air, “You know me well, right?”

Huang Dan hummed, “I know.”

Chen Shi looked around, and quickly kissed the youngster on the lips.

After leaving the gate of the Agricultural University, across the road is Carrefour. Huang Dan and Chen Shi went to the bookshelf on the second floor to look for books to read. There was no need to pay for rent, and if they were lucky, they could find a place to sit.

Chen Shi walked around several bookshelves, and when he found the small chair, he called Huang Dan over.

Huang Shan holds a book in his hand and reads.

Chen Shi was reading “The Magic Apprentice”. After reading a few chapters, he glanced at the youngster next to him, and found that the book in the other’s hand was covered in dense English. Then he looked at the book cover, and it was also in English, “Can you read it?”

Huang Dan said, “Understandable.”

If someone else said that, Chen Shi wouldn’t believe it, but the one in front of him had already shown an extraordinary side, so it was really hard to say. He took his own book in front of the youngster, “Do you read this kind of fantasy?”

Huang Dan raised his eyes, then shook his head the next moment, “Don’t read.”

Chen Shi lowered his voice, “That’s so boring, I’ll introduce you to one, and I’m sure you’ll want to read the second one after finishing one.”

Huang Dan said, “Read properly, don’t talk.”

Chen Shi’s face twitched, and he changed his posture to continue reading “The Magic Apprentice”.

After Huang Dan read for 20 or 30 minutes, he stood up and put the book back on the shelf, curiously took a fantasy book and sat back to read it.

Chen Shi asked, “How is it?”

Huang Dan said, “It’s not good to read.”

Chen Shi scanned what he had read, and found that he had read it, but he had read it in fear in class, and couldn’t stop reading it, “Isn’t it good? Then you tell me a good one.”

Huang Dan said, “Our interests and hobbies are different.”

Chen Shi hummed, “I see, the difference is not even a tiny bit, so it’s not easy to handle. In the future, if we eat in the same pot, the pot may be smashed, and no one will have to eat.”

Huang Dan was speechless.

Someone came over, it was a couple, holding hands, talking and laughing while looking for a book.

When Chen Shi looked over, envy suddenly emerged. He didn’t know when he and the youngster would be able to hold hands so openly. He lost interest in reading books, and even the exciting plot became boring.

“Let’s go.”

Huang Dan put the book back to its original place, followed Chen Shi to buy a razor, and weighed some fruits.

The persimmons in the rice jar had been eaten long ago, so they bought a few this time, and the red ones may not be as sweet as the ones grown on the trees at home.

When he got to the elevator, Chen Shi suddenly said, “Zhang Shuran, let’s have a photoshoot.”

Huang Dan was slightly taken aback, “Okay.”

So the two asked the staff of Carrefour, and after a while, they stood at the place where the photo was taken and paid the money to go in.

Huang Dan didn’t understand this, so he didn’t say anything, but looked at Chen Shi flipping through the fantasy gallery, saying that this one was a bit ugly, that one was ugly, and it is disgusting.

“How about we switch?”

“If you don’t want to change it, this is the only one, even the ugly ones will be photographed.”

Chen Shi pulled down Huang Dan, and the two squatted in the frame of the screen, with unnatural expressions on their faces.

It is inevitable to take a couple photo for the first time.

Chen Shi coughed and smiled handsomely at the screen, “Come on, follow me, say cheese.”

Huang Dan said, “Cheese.”

Chen Shi pressed the camera button, and took pictures several times in a row. He was getting closer and closer to the youngster. He hugged him from behind first, rubbed his chin on his shoulder, and leaned his head forward. It was very intimate.

Huang Dan asked when Chen Shi kissed his cheek, “Will we be found out?”

Chen Shi said it was all right, “Just one picture, the filming will be finished later, I have already told the boss that you are my Didi.”

Huang Dan’s mouth twitched, “We don’t look alike.”

Chen Shi touched the youngster’s slender waist, “One is like father, one is like mother, or one is like mother and father, and the other is like grandparents. It’s okay. Listen to me and relax.”

Before Huang Dan could relax, Chen Shi pressed the camera button with a blank expression on his face.

After filming, Chen Shi went to find the boss.

Huang Dan was standing outside with the things he bought, and after a while, Chen Shi came out with a small bag in his hand, walking briskly, “The boss said that we two xiongdi have such a good relationship.”

Chen Shi developed the two photos of the face-kissing, “Look at how stupid you are.”

Huang Dan looked silly, “You are so handsome.”

Chen Shi was stunned for a while, then he laughed, his eyebrows raised, “That’s right, you can’t find another one even with a lantern in your hand, hold on to it carefully, and don’t let me go.”

Huang Dan said, “I will.”

Chen Shi’s Adam’s apple rolled, the other party really wanted to kill him. He suppressed the heat in his chest and gave another photo to Huang Dan, “Keep it, don’t lose it.”

Huang Dan put the photo in his wallet, “Okay, won’t lose it.”

Chen Shi smiled in satisfaction, and put the rest away by himself, “Leave the rest to me, and I’ll show you when we go to university.”

Huang Dan agreed.

He will be very obedient in many things.

In the afternoon, Shen Liang came to the studio with that miserable face. Anyone who saw him would ask a few questions, and he would answer, saying that he was allergic.

Zhou Jiaojiao shook her head, “It’s so pitiful.”

Huang Dan asked her, “Why do you say that?”

Zhou Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, “Shen Liang’s face is almost gone, isn’t it pitiful?”

Huang Dan looked at Shen Liang, that face was a ghastly sight, “It’s an allergy, doesn’t it look like it to you?”

Zhou Jiaojiao said it didn’t look like it, “I’m allergic because I have little red spots on my body. His condition is not this, and I’ve never heard of anyone with that.”

Huang Dan didn’t say anything more.

At three o’clock, a middle-aged woman came to the studio, she was the mother of the girl from No. 1 Middle School.

The middle-aged woman came to the studio to take away her daughter’s painting tools, and she suddenly yelled, “This is not my daughter’s drawing board.”

Teacher Zhang and Teacher Liu both came to ask about the situation, “What’s going on?”

The middle-aged woman was in a bad mood. She questioned everyone in the studio with a sharp voice, “Who changed my daughter’s drawing board? Is it you?”

The people who were asked shook their heads and said they didn’t know.

The middle-aged woman glared at Shen Liang, she knew that he was the closest to her daughter, “You must have done it!”

Shen Liang showed a puzzled expression, “Ayi, why would I change her drawing board?”

The middle-aged woman couldn’t answer, and she didn’t leave, so she went crazy in the studio, and was finally taken away by the police, saying that she had a mental problem.

Huang Dan searched in the studio, and found several drawing boards piled up in the corner and in the yard, some were old and dirty, and some were still new, but he hadn’t observed it, so he didn’t know if there were the girl’s drawing board inside.

Chen Shi asked in a low voice, “What are you looking for?”

Huang Dan said to look for a drawing board, “Do you know what marks are on the drawing board that girl used?”

Chen Shi secretly flicked him on the forehead, “You are stupid, I have enough to do, and not idle or crazy to pay attention to other people’s drawing boards?”

Huang Dan，“……”

He went to ask Zhou Jiaojiao, she didn’t paint much in the studio, but got along well with other people, so maybe she knew by name.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t know about it.

“Shuran, didn’t you listen? That aunt lost her daughter and became mentally ill. What she said was crazy, so don’t take her seriously.”

Huang Dan said, “When she said about the drawing board, it was normal.”

Zhou Jiaojiao blinked her eyes, looking very interested, “How do you know?”

Huang Dan said, “Feeling.”

Zhou Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him, “I feel it too, that aunt is crazy.”

This little episode didn’t stay in the studio for long, and it was covered up by the dreams and longings that popped out of the mouths of senior high school students.

Huang Dan looked at Shen Liang and saw that he was concentrating on painting gouache, and there was nothing unusual, so he couldn’t help but frown, feeling that something was wrong.

Within a few days, everyone ran to the exam center, brought their documents and money and got up early to queue up for registration.

Huang Dan can see Zhou Jiaojiao every day, and he feels a little strange, “Didn’t you say that you have to take the exam to several colleges? Why didn’t you sign up?”

Zhou Jiaojiao said that it hadn’t started yet, “The money in my card is gone. I’ll sign up when my dad puts the money in the card. There’s still time.”

Huang Dan asked her which college she applied to.

Zhou Jiaojiao said it all in one breath, “Shuran, do you think college is really wonderful?”

Huang Dan said, “It’s not good, very busy.”

Zhou Jiaojiao was taken aback, she curled her lips, “But I heard many people say that college is easy and life is fast.”

Huang Dan said, “That’s a lie.”

Zhou Jiaojiao scratched her face, “I believe you, Shuran, you won’t lie to me.”

She groaned, “If that is the case, when I won’t be able to enter the university, then the regret in my heart will not be so great.”

Huang Dan said, “You haven’t taken the exam yet, how do you know you won’t pass the exam?”

Zhou Jiaojiao said, “I have to plan for the worst. I’m not like you and Chen Shi. You are good at drawing. As long as you go back to school to catch up on humanities lessons, you will be fine.”

“Not only is my painting average, but I’m also not good at humanities subjects. I may not be able to pass the exam with a score of 300.”

Huang Dan said, “There is still time.”

Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t scratch her face anymore, she lowered her head to pick nail polish, “It’s too late.”

Huang Dan looked, the hand under his eyelids was the first thing he saw when he traveled over, it seemed that the nail polish on Zhou Jiaojiao’s hands was always in a mess, and they were all the same color too.

As soon as the year is over, the single-entrance exam begins.

There are fewer people in the studio, either in the exam center or preparing for the exam.

Huang Dan and Chen Shi only planned to apply for one college, so they went to sign up and continued to paint in the studio, not in a hurry.

Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t come after the new year.

Huang Dan didn’t know Zhou Jiaojiao’s contact information, and asked Mr. Lu who didn’t tell him.

“If you sigh again, I’ll spank your ass.”

Chen Shi threw the ballpoint pen on the paper, “That Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t come because she had something to do at home, and you sighed all day long, how important is she?”

Huang Dan thought, of course it is important.

If Mr. Lu doesn’t disclose it, it means that it involved the mission. He didn’t find much information on Zhou Jiaojiao. If no one comes, the line will be cut off.

Huang Dan sighed, not only because of Zhou Jiaojiao, but also because of Qi Fang next door to Shen Liang.

During this period of time, Qi Fang has not come back, the door has been locked, and the old lady has not brought anyone to see the house, which means that he is still renting it.

Suddenly losing news of the two of them, Huang Dan suffered from insomnia.

Chen Shi thought he was facing the exam, so was under a lot of pressure, that’s why he couldn’t sleep well, “It’s okay, I’m here to accompany you.”

Huang Dan said, “I’m going back to school after the exam.”

Chen Shi took his hand and played with it, “If I missed you and missing you wouldn’t do, I will go to your school to find you.”

Huang Dan’s eyebrows relaxed.

Chen Shi hummed songs for him, including “The Only One”, “Mice Love Rice”, and “Two Butterflies”. Picking this kind of corny croon, wait for the person in his arms to fall asleep before slowly falling asleep.

On the 13th, Shen Liang went to take the exam for the Academy of Fine Arts. When he walked out of the college, he looked very high-spirited.

This single-entrance exam went very well. Whether it was the shape or the color tone, he felt that he had grasped it very accurately. There is a feeling of flowing clouds and flowing water, and a high score in the test is already guaranteed.

At the gate of the campus, Shen Liang looked up and saw a familiar figure, who was from the school studio. From his dejected expression, it could be seen that he did not do the exam well.

Shen Liang walked over to say hello, patted him on the shoulder, and asked knowingly, “Ge, how did you do in the exam today?”

“Ai, it’s not good, I can’t get over it.”

Shen Liang pursed his lips, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, “Don’t worry about it too much, just do your best for things like exams, besides, isn’t there a next time? It will take some time for the single-entrance entrance exam to end. If you adjust your emotions well, you will have time to apply for other colleges.”

The boy nodded helplessly, his emotions fell to the bottom, and he didn’t hear the complacency in Shen Liang’s tone at all, “Shen Liang, how about you, how did you do in the exam?”

Shen Liang said seemingly indifferently, “Me? I feel pretty good this time.”

Hearing this, the sad look on the boy’s face became even stronger, and he reluctantly chatted for a few more words, then he greeted Shen Liang politely, and left alone.

Opposite the back gate of the college was a residential area, Shen Liang crossed the road, a ball bounced and rolled towards him.

A little kid with a watermelon head stood in the distance, looking at him expectantly, “Da Gege, can you help kick the ball over?”

Shen Liang hesitated for a moment, and the ball rolled past him and headed towards the road.

When the ball came over just now, Shen Liang didn’t pick it up. Now that it’s rolling backwards, it’s even more impossible to go back to pick it up. He thought in his heart that the less trouble, the better. He doesn’t know this kid himself, so let the other party find someone else to pick it up. Well, he doesn’t want to get into this trouble.

Thinking of this, Shen Liang pretended not to see it, and continued walking.

However, just as Shen Liang started to walk, what he didn’t see was that the ball slowly rolled to the middle of the road. A motorcycle fully loaded with steel bars was coming at a high speed. The people on the motorcycle didn’t see the ball on the road, and the front wheel ran straight into it.

The ball is round, and so are the wheels, and accidents happen so suddenly.

The speeding motorcycle was like a cannonball, heading in the direction of Shen Liang in front and smashed over.

Shen Liang, who was in a good mood, was walking, when suddenly his eyelids twitched wildly, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart. Just when he was feeling at a loss, a cool wind blew past his ears.

Shen Liang saw his body getting farther and farther away from him. This was a scene he had never seen before. After thinking for a while, he realized that the body was still standing by the side of the road. It was not the body that was far away from him, but his head. Leaving the body, flying farther and farther.

What kills him? Is it the motorcycle that has been scattered and smashed already?

But who is she? The girl who is standing next to his body, holding his hands.

Shen Liang felt that his consciousness began to blur. He saw that the girl looked familiar, but it was too late to think of her name, only a paragraph appeared in his last consciousness.

——I will always be by your side, guarding you, and never leaving you.
