Chapter 45: Raising a Cub Day 45



【Will you accept support? 】

This is the line of words Wei Xu saw when he opened the card.

He placed the card on the table, thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe."

Du Shao picked up the card and read the question, then showed a look of surprise.

"Is this true? You're supporting me!"

Wei Xu nodded, indicating that his answer was serious.

"So," Lin Shuyi said with shining eyes, "If I work hard to make money and become a rich woman in the future, will I have the opportunity to support the academic genius?"

"That depends on who it is." Wei Xu said with a faint smile on his face and turned to look at Wei You.

Wei You immediately understood what he meant. He kicked him lightly with his right foot under the table and threatened, "Where's your backbone?"

Wei Xu, who was warned, slightly restrained his smile, but his eyes seemed to be rippling with microwaves, and he changed his words: "Brother is right to teach you a lesson, but I still won't accept it."

"Oh, what a pity!" Lin Shuyi showed a regretful expression, and it seemed that she was really interested in this proposal.

"It's not a pity. You can support me, or I can pay for it!" Zhang Zelong stood up and said.

"What do you have to support? There are plenty of people like you on the street."

"Brother Naxu is just good-looking, but not physically weak," Zhang Zelong did not hesitate to step on his brother in front of the goddess, "As a man, you still need to have a strong physique and stand up to protect you at the critical moment."

Lin Shuyi said lightly: "Then I can just hire a bodyguard."

Zhang Zelong thought about it and realized that it was true. His expression just calmed down, but then he came up with a new idea: "You can hire me as a bodyguard!"

Wei You was amused by the interaction between these young people. When he was enjoying watching the fun, Wei Xu leaned close to his shoulder and whispered, "I'm not as weak as he says."

Wei You didn't think much about it, and habitually educated from the perspective of an elder: "You still need to exercise more."

Wei Xu's smile did not diminish, and he said "Oh" obediently.

As the dusk deepened, the wind became colder and colder, with a biting chill.

The existing coats were not enough to withstand the cold wind of the late autumn night. After clearing the food on the table, everyone began to clean up the dishes and garbage, preparing to go back to their rooms to rest.

Because they spent too much time playing games, when they came out of the shower, the clock on the wall in the room was almost pointing to ten o'clock in the evening.

Compared with the leisurely and beautiful scenery of bamboo forest and lake during the day, the view of this room is much inferior at night.

Looking out of the window, one could only see a dark and blurry shadow, which made the atmosphere in the room seem a little eerie.

Wei You pulled up the curtains on both floor-to-ceiling windows, and the room suddenly became a lot warmer.

After playing with their phones for a while, they both lay down in bed to rest.

This bed is very big, the quilt is soft and has a comfortable fragrance, which can really make people sleepy.

Even though Wei You had just slept in the afternoon, he felt sleepy again as soon as he touched the pillow.

After turning off the lights, the whistling sound of wind blowing against the glass became surprisingly obvious, and the "whooshing" sound was a little scary in the darkness.

In such an atmosphere, the bed became particularly warm, comfortable and safe, and Wei You couldn't help but crawl into the bed.

"Brother." Wei Xu suddenly called out in the silence.

"Um?"

After a moment of silence, Wei Xu sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't say any more."

Wei You didn't want to know at first, but after hearing this, he became curious: "You did this on purpose, to keep me in suspense. Tell me now."

Wei Xu turned over, moved closer to him, and said in a low voice while leaning against the pillow: "Actually, I was listening to your recording while you were taking a shower just now."

"Recording?" Wei You asked first, and then he realized that this kid actually recorded the phone call.

He was just about to ask the other party to delete the recording when the person next to him said something else.

"As I listened, I had a reaction."

Wei You fell silent.

"Are young people particularly vulnerable to teasing?"

"When we were outside, you kicked my ankle under the table, and I was a little bit..." Perhaps because he was lying down while talking, the young man's voice was low and had a slightly embarrassed nasal tone.

"Was you like this when you were young?"

"Brother, why don't you speak?"

Wei You turned over and faced away from him: "Brother is asleep."

A faint chuckle came from the air, and he said, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

Wei You pulled up the quilt to cover his ears. It was unbelievable that his ears felt hot because of Wei Xu's words.

Maybe it was because it was dark now and he couldn't see Wei Xu's face, so the other person's identity in his mind became unclear.

For a moment, he even felt that there was a strange young man lying next to him.

The young man had a rather cold voice, but because of his intimate tone, there was a hint of orange warmth in his voice.

This voice lingered in Wei You's mind. The more he tried to ignore it, the more he couldn't ignore it.

Even if a straight man hears a particularly pleasant voice from a strange man, his body will show some reaction. Wei You could only comfort himself in this way.

·

Wei You didn't sleep well that night and woke up very early the next day.

To his surprise, Wei Xu got up earlier than him.

When he woke up, the other party had already finished washing up and packed up the things they brought.

Wei You opened his phone and checked the time. He frowned in confusion and asked Wei Xu, who was sitting on the sofa: "It's only eight o'clock. Why did you get up so early?"

Wei Xu shook his head: "Maybe it's my biological clock."

Wei You nodded and accepted the answer.

However, they had to get up early today. After all, several of these high school students had to rush back to school for self-study before 2 pm, and everyone needed to take the 10 o'clock minibus back to Xiangfang Town.

After Wei You finished washing up, the two of them carried their bags and went downstairs to have breakfast.

They were probably the first two to get up among the eight people, and when they arrived at the restaurant, there was no one at the table.

Boss Zhang, who was a part-time chef, greeted them and asked them to sit at the dining table and wait for a while. About five minutes later, he served each of them a prepared breakfast.

The breakfast is fixed, each person has a bowl of white porridge, a sliced ​​fried egg, a boiled egg and a side dish. Although the food is simple, it tastes quite good, especially the fried egg roll, which looks ordinary, but is surprisingly delicious when eaten with chopped pickled mustard and white porridge.

Not long after Wei You and the other man sat down, a few girls came downstairs to eat. As usual, the boss served everyone an identical breakfast.

"The egg rolls are so delicious!" Sure enough, the girls had the same opinion.

“Not greasy or oily at all, just right.”

"Boss Zhang is quite capable!"

Wei You ate up the egg roll and white porridge, but left the boiled egg untouched.

Wei Xu, who knew his taste, knew at a glance that he didn't want to eat egg yolks, so he took the egg, peeled it together with his own egg, took out the two egg yolks and put them in his own bowl, and put the remaining egg whites in Wei You's bowl.

This was their division of labor at home. Wei You picked up the egg white and ate it as usual, and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Some girls looked a little surprised.

A female classmate who was close to Liu Weiwei said, "You two brothers have a very good relationship. My sister won't eat anything I don't want."

Wei You paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not a waste."

That being said, he looked at Wei Xu who was mashing the egg yolk and mixing it into soy sauce across from him, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Come to think of it, he had never noticed this before. Is the act of mashing egg yolks into mayonnaise and then spreading it on egg rolls really something that people who like to eat egg yolks would do?

He couldn't help but recall the last time they ate eggs together. It seemed that two days ago, he was too lazy to cook, so he bought five tea eggs as a midnight snack.

At that time, he only ate the egg whites of two tea eggs, and gave the rest to Wei Xu. He still remembered that the other party drank a large glass of water after eating the tea eggs.

At that time I thought it might be because the egg yolk was too dry, but now I think, maybe Wei Xu doesn’t like to eat this either?

Thinking that he might have been taken care of by the other party several times without realizing it, Wei You felt his face getting hot for some reason. He coughed lightly, said "I'll go out for a walk", and stood up and left the table.

Wei Xu watched him leave the dining table, then lowered his head to look at the mushy egg yolk in the bowl, frowned slightly, and revealed a rare look of embarrassment.

·

After the trip, the two quickly returned to their lives of rarely seeing each other.

Wei Xu went to school early and came back late every day. Wei You stayed at home for a few days and gradually became tired of staying at home.

When his cell phone ran out of battery and he returned to reality, Wei You took out the camera he bought when he joined a club in college. He would go out to take pictures when he was bored. After taking the pictures, he would select one or two sets of pictures that he thought were good, edit them and put them online.

To this end, he registered a Weibo account specifically to post the photos he took on a daily basis.

His shooting style is quite diverse. Sometimes he shoots mountain and river scenery, sometimes he shoots the urban style of a small town, and sometimes he will get someone's consent and take a group of photos just for him.

Neighbors living nearby, such as the couple who own the fruit shop and the owner of the breakfast shop downstairs, have all been on his Weibo.

Maybe it’s because he updates frequently that such a photography account with no marketing, no team, and no fixed style has accumulated a small number of fans.

However, most of these fans were like bought fake fans, who would only like posts occasionally and rarely make comments, until Wei You had a sudden inspiration and took a set of life photos of Wei Xu.

There were four photos, three of which were back views and silhouettes, and only one was a frontal photo. It actually triggered a lot of comments from fans, and the number of fans suddenly increased a lot.

Many people sent him private messages asking if the handsome guy in the photo was a professional model, whether he had a Weibo account, and some even asked if he wanted to date a model.

Wei You didn't understand whether they wanted to arrange a photo shoot or something, so he replied that the person in the photo was just his brother, not a model.

Afterwards, many fans left comments saying that the blogger’s brother was so handsome and begged him to come online again.

Wei You doesn’t plan to use this account for anything, but it’s still a happy thing that someone likes the pictures he edited.

Despite all indications that they just like handsome guys and it has little to do with his pictures.

All in all, Wei Xu's "first show" was more popular than expected, so Wei You planned to take another set of campus-style photos for him.

However, on the one hand, Wei Xu's study and life were very busy, and on the other hand, after entering December, the weather gradually became colder.

Every time Wei Xu was free, the weather was always bad, so the plan was delayed for three weeks. It was not until the end of December that he finally waited for a sunny Saturday.

That afternoon, Wei You and Wei Xu went to his school, Xiangfang High School, to take photos together.

Unlike Wei Xu's junior high school, Xiangfang High School is an old school that has been built for fifty or sixty years. Although it has been renovated and repaired several times, obvious signs of time can still be seen.

However, for photographers, these perfect traces have their own special beauty and charm. Compared with the beautiful scenery on the surface, they are more worthy of being recorded by camera.

There are not many people in the school on Saturday afternoons. When the weather is hot, there may be students living in the town playing basketball on the basketball court. In winter, the only sound on the campus is the silent wind.

Wei You thought this was a good idea. With so many people around, he was worried that Wei Xu wouldn't be able to relax in front of the camera.

I have to say that Wei Xu is really photogenic. His facial features are distinct, his shoulders are broad and his legs are long. His body proportions are excellent, and he can hold his own in both close and long shots.

The model is good-looking and is very obedient to the photographer's instructions. She has high emotional intelligence and can understand the mood described by the photographer. When taking pictures of Wei Xu, Wei You seemed to have regained the enthusiasm he had when he first signed up to learn photography.

Originally, I just wanted to take a simple set of photos of Wei Xu in the classroom and the playground, but because we worked together so well, we took photos while walking around, and one of us couldn't help but took photos for three hours, capturing every corner of the old school and even the abandoned old classrooms.

The last photo was taken in front of the honor roll at the school gate.

Wei You didn't plan to release this photo. He simply saw Wei Xu's name and photo on the honor roll and wanted to take a photo with him as a souvenir.

Before the photo shoot, Wei Xu suddenly asked, "When I graduate from high school, can you take graduation photos for me?"

Wei You thought it was not difficult, and replied, "Sure, no problem."

"That's the deal then."

After saying this, Wei Xu laughed.

Wei You froze this scene. In the photo, the sunlight leaking through the tree branches fell on the young man's fair and handsome face, as if adding a hazy time filter.

The corners of Wei Xu's lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were filled with a gentle smile as he gazed into the camera.

·

When I returned from school, the sun was about to set and the temperature, which had been relatively warm during the day, dropped again.

The two of them went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables. When they passed by a fruit shop, Wei You saw the beautifully packaged snake fruits on the stall, and then he remembered that Christmas was just a few days away.

"Would you like to buy some apples?" he asked Wei Xu. "They are still cheap now. They will probably be more expensive in a couple of days."

Wei Xu shook his head: "I don't like apples."

Wei You had already started to pick apples in front of the stall, saying, "Why not? Apples are so nutritious."

Wei Xu raised his eyes to look at him and said calmly: "You left on Christmas Eve several times, did you know that?"

Wei You turned around in surprise: "Really?"

"You don't care, so you definitely don't remember."

Wei You felt a little guilty, so he didn't respond.

In the end they didn't buy the apples because Wei You asked the price and felt it was not worth it. Since Wei Xu didn't like them, it would be a waste to buy them home.

Carrying the vegetables back to the residential building, Wei You took out his key and opened the door as usual. Just as he was about to go in and change his shoes, he suddenly heard an unpleasant "creaking" sound from behind him as the old iron door opened.

Both of them turned around in surprise and saw an unexpected person appear in their sight.

Wei You was slightly stunned.

Although he had never seen this person in real life, he recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

The woman with beautiful appearance and contradictory temperament is Wei Xu's mother.

The author has something to say: The date in the diary of the first two chapters was wrong, October was written as November. It has been revised and it will not affect the reading. Just keep it in mind.

October 19, 2014 / Sunday / Cloudy

I don’t know if he really has a bad memory or he has become accustomed to my occasional outrageous words. I said those things last night, but he didn’t get angry. Does this mean that there is really hope for me?

I just came back from Sun Lake today, and I was attending evening self-study when I wrote this.

Even though only half a day had passed, I already missed him a little.

Fortunately, I can see him again when I go back later.

Also, I really don’t like eating eggs, but I’m still happy to eat the egg yolks left by my brother.

October 31, 2014 / Friday / Cloudy

Recently my brother has started playing around with the camera. He often goes out to take pictures during the day and edits them on the computer at night.

I have no objection if he takes pictures of other things, but forget it if he takes pictures of beautiful women. I will definitely be jealous.

Followed his Weibo.

Don’t let me catch you taking pictures of pretty girls, brother!

November 1, 2014 / Saturday / Cloudy

A very funny thing happened today. At noon, my brother forgot to plug in the rice cooker when he was cooking. I found it when I came back. Then we waited for another half an hour for the rice to cook.

Sometimes I really find that he is a little confused. A few days ago, he forgot to take out the clothes that are easily stained from the washing machine, and ended up washing one of my school uniforms pink.

When I came back, he told me about it very embarrassedly, with a red face, looking so silly and adorable.

Thinking about it now, I really want to hug him and kiss him.

November 7, 2014 / Friday / Light rain

The midterm exam is coming soon, but I always feel it’s a pity that there won’t be a parent-teacher meeting after the exam this time.

We have so little time to meet, I miss him so much!

November 12, 2014 / Wednesday / Cloudy

The midterm exam is tomorrow.

I don’t know if it’s because the exam is coming up, but I encountered something particularly speechless today.

When I was having lunch in the cafeteria, two freshman girls actually bowed to me like they were praying to Buddha, and even said something like "May the God of Study bless me..."

It's speechless, it's outrageous!

November 29, 2014 / Saturday / Sunny

Today my brother suddenly said he wanted to take a photo of me.

I have never been a model before, so I was very nervous. I was afraid that the photos would not look good and would affect the image of me in his mind.

The result seemed pretty good, and he seemed quite satisfied.

He has been retouching my photos just now. Seeing him enlarging my face again and again, I always feel a little shy.
