Usually, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Liu come to the studio in turn, and the two of them rarely appear at the same time.

After all, they are university teachers themselves, and their courses are full of uncertainties. Regardless of professionalism and rigor, they are far inferior to those art teachers who only open studios in terms of guidance time.

The high school seniors who come to this studio are almost all aiming at next year’s unified entrance exam questions, because it is said that these two teachers do participate in the questions every year.

Knowing the topic before the exam, you can also watch the teacher make a model painting and draw a picture. Compared with other people who knew nothing before entering the exam room, they have some advantages, at least they will not be clueless.

However, the polarization will be more serious, good paintings will be better, and poor ones will still be bad.

It is the so-called mud that cannot support the wall.

It was Teacher Liu who came over in the morning. He was still wearing a long gown and cloth shoes. It didn’t feel awkward when threw it into the street of the Republic of China built by some film and television city, but he really didn’t fit into this messy studio.

There was a layer of pencil dust on the ground, garbage like fruit peels and plastic bags scattered here and there, and a student’s bucket was overturned, and there was a large area of water there.

Teacher Liu picked the space to walk and asked as he walked, “Who was on duty yesterday?”

No one responded.

Teacher Liu usually gives people the impression that he is a very easy-going person. Another way of saying it is that he is easy to bully and has no dignity. He was not angry and asked again, “I ask you, who was on duty yesterday, does anyone know?”

Xia Wei raised her feet and put them on the wooden board under the easel, her short boots moved up and down, “Jiaojiao, wasn’t that you?”

Zhou Jiaojiao glared at Xia Wei. She puffed out one cheek and said inarticulately, “Teacher, I felt sick to my stomach yesterday.”

When she spoke, the steamed stuffed bun in her mouth sprayed out.

Pfft, a few boys next to her couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Teacher Liu waved his hand, telling her to finish the food in her mouth without choking, “Who’s today?”

Xia Wei said, “It’s me.”

Teacher Liu ordered, “Then you go outside and get a mop in, mop the water on the ground, and then sweep the garbage on the ground.”

Xia Wei was dumbfounded, “No, teacher, it’s not even evening and, aren’t all cleaned after class?”

She pouted, “I’m going to start painting.”

Zhou Jiaojiao groaned, “You didn’t even take out the drawing paper, drew on the drawing board?”

Xia Wei said in a volume that only she could hear, “Zhou Jiaojiao, if you don’t talk, no one will treat you as dumb!”

Zhou Jiaojiao replied with the same volume, “I want to tell you this too.”

Xia Wei snorted, turned around and smiled at Teacher Liu. She always looks good, and today she even put on colored lip gloss. This smile is in the same way as written in a book that people are more amorous than flowers, “Teacher, can I clean before I leave in the afternoon?”

Teacher Liu shook his head, wondering what is the difference between cleaning early and cleaning late? He didn’t care about it, “All right, as you like.”

Xia Wei made a scissors hand to Teacher Liu’s back. She proudly took out the red MP3, pulled out the earphone cable, and hummed “I Don’t Want to Grow Up”.

Zhou Jiaojiao gnawed off the last bite of the steamed stuffed bun, “Selling out sex appeal.”

Xia Wei smiled very brightly, “Have you not figured it out yet?”

She put earphones on one ear, “By the way, Jiaojiao, you bought three bottles of nail polish for one yuan, right? That kind of nail polish is too bad. Look at you, it falls off quickly after you put it on. It’s so ugly. It’s better not to paint.”

Zhou Jiao’s tender hands trembled, coldly stared at Xia Wei for once, then she moved her easel to Huang Dan’s side.

“Damn Xia Wei, she said that I bought three bottles of nail polish for one yuan. How could that be possible? It cost one yuan a bottle! She also said it was ugly for me to wear nail polish.”

Zhou Jiaojiao picked at the nail polish that had almost fallen off her nails, “My hands look like this, what can I do, besides, what’s wrong with my hands being fatter and my fingers shorter. At first glance it is a good old man’s plain and diligent, what do you say?”

“Xia Wei’s hands are slender and long, it was as frivolous as her face. It is said that the kind of hands are born to hold a brush, a hand that can draw. Hmph, the result is that the drawing is very rubbish.”

Seeing that the person next to him didn’t even fart, Zhou Jiaojiao bumped him with her elbow, “Hey, Shuran, did you hear me?”

The pencil that Huang Dan just sharpened broke, “……”

Zhou Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and snatched his pencil and knife, “I’ll sharpen it for you.”

But Zhou Jiaojiao’s usual pencils are almost all sharpened by her father. She sharpened Huang Dan’s pencil with pits and broken lead, which is not very helpful.

Seeing that the pencil was being sharpened and shortened, and he could no longer hold it, Huang Dan said, “Forget it, let me do it.”

Zhou Jiaojiao was embarrassed, was about to take one from the pen bag in the toolbox and give it to Huang Dan when she heard Xia Wei’s voice, “Shuran, for you.”

Huang Dan glanced at the pencil in Xia Wei’s hand, its lead was fine and comfortable to look at.

Xia Wei hehe, “Not bad right? I have worshiped a master, the master leads to the door only, and the practice depends on the individual. I only learned a little bit of the master’s superficial knowledge. The pencils he sharpened are really beautiful, like works of art.”

Lin Mao leaned over, “Both Shen Liang and I can testify that Xiao Wei’s master is not only good at sharpening pencils, but also good at drawing, and he doesn’t need a teacher to guide him.”

Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t believe it, “It’s real, better than Shen Liang in painting? Then why didn’t he come to the studio with you?”

Xia Wei put the pencil on the small stool next to Huang Dan, “He doesn’t need the teacher’s guidance at all. Does he still need to come here to waste time?”

Zhou Jiaojiao tutted, “Is he in the same class with you then? When did he learn art? Junior high school? Or did he start at a young age? If he doesn’t even need the teacher’s guidance, then he has at least five or six years of painting foundation.”

Lin Mao said, “He is a repeat student.”

“According to what I know, he was just exposed to art at about the same time as us. This is the difference between skilled and unskilled.”

Zhou Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, with a teasing expression on her face, “He is so good, if it’s all about talent, why does he repeat it? It’s fine if he doesn’t go to the Academy of Fine Arts, but he can’t even pass the undergraduate exam?”

Xia Wei lowered her eyes, “He didn’t sign up for any school’s single entrance exam.”

Zhou Jiaojiao knew that there were people who were so self-confident and overwhelmed, “Isn’t there still a unified entrance exam?”

This time Xia Wei didn’t speak, it was Lin Mao who said, “On the day of the unified entrance exam, he saw a car accident on the road, passed out on the spot, and missed the exam.”

Zhou Jiaojiao seemed to hear a joke, “Who would get dizzy after seeing a car accident? I once met a cat that was crushed by a car, and its internal organs were out. I didn’t even stand aside to eat and drink.”

Her nonchalant look, as if replacing the cat with a human would not be a problem.

Huang Dan, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyes, “Xia Wei, Lin Mao, that repeat student you said is afraid of cars?”

“Yeah, he is very afraid of cars. It has reached a kind of, how should I put it, it is abnormal, and he needs to take medicine.”

Lin Mao said while organizing his words, thinking of ways to describe it better, “He is usually a hooligan, quite arrogant, and not easy to mess with, but when he sees a car, he immediately becomes a different person. Nevertheless it’s kind of scary.”

Xia Wei seemed to remember something, and her face turned pale, “Well, it’s scary.”

“I’ve been in the car with him twice, and before he got in the car, he would be very nervous. After the car started and stopped, he kept his eyes closed the whole time, his body was shaking constantly, and his face was covered in cold sweat. His face is as pale as a ghost, really, I’m not exaggerating at all.”

Lin Mao spat and said, “What’s even more outrageous is that sometimes he was talking to us, and when he heard the sound of the car’s engine, something would go wrong.”

Zhou Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said, “Then he had a car accident before, which left a psychological shadow, or something happened to his family. This situation is definitely a psychological effect.”

Xia Wei scratched her palms and said softly, “I asked my master, and he said no.”

Zhou Jiaojiao said it was impossible, “Your master must not have told you the truth, if it wasn’t himself, then that was a very important person.”

Seeing that Xia Wei looked over, she shrugged, “It’s always been played like this on TV, seeing your lover die in a car accident with your own eyes will leave a deep shadow, and you can’t overcome it at all. Car, even afraid of hearing the sound of the car moving, it is very miserable.”

Xia Wei said firmly, “Don’t be ridiculous, my master doesn’t even have a first love.”

Zhou Jiaojiao said, “Xia Wei, aren’t you being funny now? You are not related to him anyway, why should anyone tell you?”

Xia Wei wanted to say that she had investigated secretly, and she couldn’t be wrong. The master just didn’t have a first love, and he didn’t like any girl, but she didn’t say it out, and felt that there was no need to tell Zhou Jiaojiao about it.

“He was the best painter in the studio last year. There are a lot of his paintings on the wall. The teacher thought it was a pity for him, and said that if he had time, he would come and paint for everyone.”

Lin Mao turned his head and shouted, “What do you say, Shen Liang.”

Shen Liang turned his back to them, facing the drawing board, and picked up the line draft of the beer bottle with a pencil, “Yeah.”

Zhou Jiaojiao admired Shen Liang from the bottom of her heart, and felt that good painters are very good people. She saw that Shen Liang admitted it, so she believed what Lin Mao and Xia Wei told, and couldn’t help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

“It turns out that there really are people like that. It’s so pitiful. If it weren’t for that problem, he would have been in the Academy of Fine Arts this year.”

Xia Wei pushed up the black-rimmed glasses without lenses, “It’s not pitiful, and it’s not your turn to sympathize, you’d better improve your painting skills, so that when you are criticized by the teacher, your father doesn’t know where to put that face at all.”

Zhou Jiaojiao stared at Xia Wei’s figure, “Shuran, Lin Mao, did you listen, is dead Xia Wei speaking human language?”

“She speaks human language, you don’t.”

Lin Mao glanced at Zhou Jiaojiao, “Why did you add a dead character in front of Xiao Wei’s name, you are not so familiar, besides, this is not flirting between lovers, it sounds weird.”

Zhou Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose. She has an apple face. Although she is not as beautiful as Xia Wei, she looks very cute. When she is unhappy, she will not arouse the disgust of others. “You are from the same county, and also from the same school, definitely will stand by her side.”

“Shuran, let’s take a look.”

Huang Dan remained motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhou Jiaojiao was speechless, “Lin Mao, Shuran has been in a daze since yesterday, I don’t know what’s going on.”

Lin Mao rubbed his chin, “He is advancing by leaps and bounds, and he uses his brain excessively, and needs to let go anytime and anywhere. People like you who live without brains will not understand.”

Zhou Jiaojiao, “……”

Lin Mao cursed suddenly, “Fuck, I almost forgot the business, let Shen Liang go to the teacher and tell about the alteration of our paintings, we can’t let that bastard get away with it.”

He pulled Shen Liang up and walked outside, “Go, go, talk about it.”

Shen Liang broke free, “Why don’t you say it yourself?”

Lin Mao’s eyes were originally small, and when he smiled, there was only a gap left, giving the feeling that he was planning something bad, and there were so many small calculations, “I can’t compare with you.”

“Classmate Shen, my drawing is so bad. It is definitely useless to talk to the teacher. You are different. You are the first in the total score of each exam, and the first in everything in sketching and gouache sketching. The teacher thinks highly of you. The teacher will take care of whatever you say.”

When Shen Liang heard this, the corners of his lips raised, “Just wait.”

The workshop is next to the studio, and it has three things in common with the studio. One is the small space, the other is the messy environment, and the third is poor sanitation. There is plaster and painting utensils in it, and a lot of paintings are piled up on the table in a mess.

Teacher Liu sat on a carved wooden chair and listened to Kunqu opera, holding a cup of tea in his hand. When he saw Shen Liang coming in, he asked what was the matter.

Shen Liang told him about the alteration of the painting.

Teacher Liu is not surprised, he also had a student days, “Are you sure the door is locked?”

Shen Liang said that he was sure, he was not guilty at all this time, “Zhang Shuran was the first to come to the studio this morning. When I came, he was waiting at the door, and the lock was hung on the door.”

Teacher Liu put the celadon teacup on the table, “Does Teacher Zhang know about this?”

Shen Liang said he didn’t know.

Teacher Liu asked, “Why didn’t you tell Teacher Zhang yesterday?”

Shen Liang pursed his lips, “We…… We thought that this kind of thing would never happen again, so we didn’t mention it to Mr. Zhang. After all, we are all in the same studio. It’s not good to be awkward. I didn’t expect that person to dare to do that again.”

Teacher Liu looked at the student in front of him, “So, do you think the people in the studio did it?”

Shen Liang scratched the back of his neck, “At first I thought it was a college student, but I think if the other party deliberately teased us out of boredom, he probably wouldn’t use the same method to do it a second time.”

Teacher Liu didn’t ask any more questions, he called everyone in the yard.

First, he briefly talked about the past two days. Teacher Liu said with his hands behind his back, “Since you have chosen this studio, you must learn to paint hard. I don’t care if the people inside are jealous or because of something, it’s wrong to do so, I hope everyone will supervise each other in the future, and don’t let anyone make trouble before the exam.”

His voice sank, and his face became serious, “If there is another time, I will punish severely!”

When everyone returned to the studio, they started whispering, guessing who did this dirty trick, and those who suffered the most must be excluded. Among the remaining people, who is the most suspect?

As far as jealousy is concerned, it is understandable to destroy Shen Liang’s painting, but the others…… are completely unnecessary.

No, the one who has made great progress in the past two days is also worthy of envy and jealousy. As for Xia Wei, where did she come to paint? She came to the catwalk. And it is hard to explain about Zhou Jiaojiao and Lin Mao as well. Anyway, they won’t pass the exam next year.

Huang Dan didn’t say much in the morning, and he didn’t even notice that he got pencil dust on his hands and rubbed it on his nose.

Lin Mao laughed out loud when he saw it, and said, Shuran, why are you so stupid?

Huang Dan is like everyone else, writing the initials and the date of the day on the corner of the drawing paper, “What?”

Lin Mao looked at his paintings, “Sure enough, God is fair. Your paintings are amazing, but people have become stupid.”

Huang Dan，“……”

Lin Mao said, “Go back and teach me, let me learn and understand.”

Huang Dan said, “Okay.”

Lin Mao watched him stand up, push the stool in and then turned to leave. It took him a long time to murmur in disbelief, “Hey Zhang Shuran, I just said it casually, you really agreed, such righteousness……”

Shen Liang said slowly, “Do you think others are as selfish as you?”

Lin Mao patted him on the shoulder, “Who are you talking about? Who is selfish?”

Shen Liang put the watch on his hand, “Whoever heard it, talking about only whoever”

Lin Mao gritted his teeth, “Those girls still say that you are a gentleman like jade, bah, you are a hypocrite with a double heart and a heart of a beast!”

Shen Liang turned cold, “Okay, Lin Mao, isn’t it because your goddess chased me back and was rejected by me, did it hurt your self-esteem? Is it necessary to remember it until now?”

Lin Mao raised his middle finger to Shen Liang.

When he turned his head, he found Zhou Jiaojiao was looking at Zhang Shuran’s painting while changing her own, so he twitched, “Jiaojiao, what are you doing?”

“You think I want to? It’s all forced.”

Zhou Jiaojiao erased all the hard lines cut out, and re-drawn according to Zhang Shuran’s drawing. After such a change, she felt that the boundary line between light and dark and reflections were handled much better. Sure enough, it was easier to copy, but it was too difficult to draw from life.

“My dad said that he won’t give me pocket money if I can’t make it into the top 20 in the exam at the end of this month.”

Lin Mao tut tut, “Shushu’s trick is really ruthless, and it will definitely save a lot of money by the end of the year.”

Zhou Jiaojiao blew off the rubber scraps on the paper, and said impatiently, “Go, go, don’t disturb my drawing.”

Shen Liang stretched his neck to have a look, “You can’t even draw the shape correctly, why change the lines?”

Zhou Jiaojiao’s attitude was completely different from when she was facing Lin Mao, she laughed like a red apple, “Then you teach me.”

Shen Liang put his hands in his pockets, “There is no teaching, only more practice.”

Lin Mao was happy to see Zhou Jiaojiao deflated, and he said to Shen Liang, “Please help me correct it.”

Shen Liang turned back to the easel, took off the painting on the drawing board, put it on the long table in the corner, and put it together with his other paintings, “I can’t correct it.”

Lin Mao curled his lips, “So pretentious? He will come this afternoon, and I will ask him to correct it for me.”

Shen Liang paused the movement of sorting out the painting, “Is he coming to the studio?”

Lin Mao was taller than Shen Liang, so he easily put his elbow on his shoulder, and jokingly said, “Why, afraid he will steal your limelight, Shen Liang, It’s not that I’m telling you off, it’s fine if you put on such a ghostly look at school that you don’t want others to be better than you. But everyone here adores you, so you must hide your jealousy, otherwise it will be very embarrassing.”

Shen Liang pushed his elbow away without a word.

The force was so strong that Lin Mao was caught off guard, and when he stepped back, he stepped into the bucket, and he howled frantically, “Damn it, this is the Bonwe that LaoZi bought for less than a week——”

At the sink, Huang Dan was washing his hands with soap, and he was washing the pencil dust off his nose along the way. He saw Xia Wei not far away, wiping her boots with a wet paper towel.

The boots were off-white, with a black spot on the front, which was stained by pencil dust, and it was difficult to wipe off.

Huang Dan flicked the water off his hands. Looking from his angle, what he saw was Xia Wei’s side face. He doesn’t know if it was because of the white dress on her body, or because of some makeup she put on. He always feels that it is very white.

Xia Wei noticed Huang Dan’s gaze, twisted her neck and asked with a smile, “What are you looking at?”

Huang Dan was not embarrassed about being caught, he stepped forward, “Pencil dust is not easy to wipe off, go back and soak in using washing powder.”

Xia Wei said it was annoying to death, painting is really hateful.

Huang Dan searched the memory of the original owner, but found no relevant information. He asked in a casual tone, “Then why do you want to learn painting?”

Xia Wei removed the shredded paper from her boots, stood up and said, “I don’t want to be in the classroom.”

Huang Dan was stunned, he thought that Xia Wei would say that she was forced by her family, and hoped that she would take an undergraduate degree, or that her own humanity course was lacking, so she had to take the road of art and work hard, but he didn’t expect it to be the answer.

Art students spend less time on humanity classes than compulsory language and natural science.

Huang Dan’s eyes were half-closed, and he found that Xia Wei’s face was paler when viewed from such a close distance, which made the energetic and confident smile on her face look a little weird.

Xia Wei smiled and rolled her eyes, “Still looking?”

She groaned, flicking the big earrings on her ears with fingers, “I know I’m pretty, but if you keep staring at me like this, I’d be embarrassed.”

Huang Dan opened his eyes slightly, “You……”

Xia Wei’s smile remained the same, thinking that there would be a confession, she had already figured out how to refuse, and she often did it by herself, “Huh?”

Huang Dan said, “You have a bug on your neck.”

Xia Wei said, “What?”

Huang Dan pointed at her neck, “The bug, the match head and small build, it’s sucking blood on your neck, don’t you feel any pain?”

Xia Wei realized it later, she scratched her neck in panic, and screamed.

The bug, no idea where it went. There were several scratches on Xia Wei’s neck, all of which were bleeding. She scratched it herself, and the skin was still between her nails.

Huang Dan didn’t have a mobile phone, but Xia Wei did. He borrowed it and searched the Internet and handed it over, “If I’m not mistaken, it’s this one Tick.”

Xia Wei knew what the bug was, but she was not so afraid. She pinched her nails and went to the sink to wash them. “It’s disgusting.”

Huang Dan asked, “Do you want to go to the hospital?”

Xia Wei said it was all right, and she groaned, “It’s disgusting, Shuran, can you help me get the bag hanging behind the drawing board?”

Huang Dan went to get it for her.

Xia Wei quickly trimmed her nails. She breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Huang Dan before responding to other people who came to see the situation.

At this moment, Xia Wei smiled beautifully, standing like a star in the crowd, attracting the attention of others, as if she wasn’t the one who yelled just now.

Huang Dan withdrew his gaze and temporarily saved all the messy information.

He thought of the person Xia Wei and Lin Mao talk about, and his nerve endings trembled slightly, wondering if it was…..

Lin Mao felt that the reason why his Bonwei suffered the calamity was due to Shen Liang. He didn’t go to the other party’s room to play at noon, and his heart was burning.

Huang Dan was about to take a nap, but Lin Mao dragged him out to play.

The campus of the Agricultural University is very large, and there are only a few people on the basketball court who are dribbling and passing the ball, sweating, and Huang Dan pulled in by Lin Mao, and they watch the game together.

Lin Mao looked itchy, “There’s a small supermarket over there, I’m going to buy basketball, shall we have a game?”

Huang Dan shook his head, “No.”

When he was in school, he spent his spare time reading books, and he didn’t like to make himself sweaty.

Lin Mao scolded, “Zhang Shuran, are you making peace with me? Wasn’t it you who kept saying that you will compete with me a few days ago?”

Huang Dan thought, it’s not me.

Lin Mao waved his hand, “Forget it, Chen Shi said he would stay here for two days, and then I’ll go play with him.”

Huang Dan knew that Lin Mao was referring to the repeat student who was very good at drawing and was very afraid of cars, “Was he born at the time of chenshi(7-9am)?”

Lin Mao said, “It’s not that chenshi, it’s Chen in a place facing east, and Shi is shi(time).”

Huang Dan said, “Understood.”

Lin Mao saw a boy jumping up from the ball hoop and dunking with one hand, so he stood up excitedly and jumped a few times, cheering.

Huang Dan was not in the mood to watch the game, “What is he doing here?”

“Visit relatives.”

Lin Mao sat back on the steps, gasped and said, “Damn, it would be good if LaoZi were taller, and jumping ability is also average. Ai, unlike that boy Chen Shi, when he jumps up and throws the ball, LaoZi can’t block it at all.”

Huang Dan wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Mao, this person, had already rushed to the playground.

Lin Mao didn’t talk to Shen Liang in the afternoon either, he held grudges and was small-minded. He didn’t seem to think that he had done anything wrong in the morning.

Huang Dan was not in the studio at the time, so he didn’t know what happened between Lin Mao and Shen Liang. He asked Zhou Jiaojiao, but the other party only said that it was because of some kind of goddess, the xiongdi turned against each other, and it was a big drama.

There are several sets of still objects in the studio. Most of the fruits on display are fake, and a few are real, arranged from fresh to until shriveled, then thrown away and replaced with fresh ones, and sometimes they are eaten by people.

Lin Mao secretly ate a small orange and found a fake one to replace it. He hurriedly destroyed the body and turned his drawing board to Huang Dan, “Shuran, how is it?”

Huang Dan flicked his paintbrush in the bucket and took a look, “The color is dirty and has no inherent color.”

Lin Mao scratched his hair, “Damn, help me correct it.”

Huang Dan said, “The paint is a bit difficult to cover, I will try it when your painting dries.”

Huang Dan only changed a bunch of grapes for Lin Mao, which danced very well in his painting, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the tricks in it.

Lin Mao’s eyes narrowed, and the small abacus crackled, “You correct one, might as well not correct it, the teacher will come over later, he must know that I didn’t paint it.”

Zhou Jiaojiao probed, “Don’t worry, the teacher won’t look at it when he comes, for fear of blinding his eyes.”

Lin Mao, “……”

Zhou Jiaojiao asked Huang Dan to look at the painting, “Shuran, take a look at the painting I painted this afternoon, isn’t it good?”

Huang Dan said, “There should be some violets in the reflection of the dark part.”

Zhou Jiaojiao’s perception is not lacking, she can understand it as soon as explain, and when understood she can master it. She hooked violet and stroked a few strokes on the reflection, “It’s done.”

Throwing the pen and palette into the bucket, Zhou Jiaojiao acted like a baby to her father, “Dad, I’m hungry, go and buy me something to eat.”

Father Zhou said angrily, “Only know how to eat all day long.”

Having said that, he walked out of the studio without delay to buy food for his daughter.

Xia Wei sighed, using pure white paint to highlight a large area, “Jiaojiao, I really envy you, my father doesn’t care about my life or death.”

Zhou Jiaojiao stopped touching her ponytail, “Envy me? Are you kidding me? My dad treats me like a criminal every day. I can’t go here, and I can’t go there. Didn’t you see that?”

Xia Wei began to draw a white line on everything to reflect light, but lightning would not work, “Not to know when one is well off.”

Zhou Jiaojiao snorted, “I really don’t know who does not know when one is well off.”

“Look at yourself. There are a couple of usable Marley paints in the studio. You can buy more than a dozen bottles of white paint at a time. It doesn’t matter who uses it. And your famous brand, basically the different clothes, Xia Wei, Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

Xia Wei laughed, “Jiaojiao, this time I finally admit that you are jealous of me.”

Zhou Jiaojiao’s face turned red, and she said angrily, “Crazy, I’m too lazy to reason with you!”

Huang Dan next to them was surprised. He came here yesterday. Up to now, he has seen these two girls have similar quarrels many times. From time to time, they will be sarcastic, but they have never really turned their face

The same goes for Lin Mao and Shen Liang, who have never really used their hands.

It seems that apart from the relationship of studying painting in the same studio, there is some kind of connection between these few people, so that no matter what happens, they will not be completely deadlocked.

After a while, Xia Wei’s cell phone rang. She answered the phone and took the bag away with one hand, “Are you at the station? I’ll pick you up. It’s all right. I’ve finished drawing. Really, don’t care about whatever they do, ah? Can’t I go alone……”

After Lin Mao came back from the bathroom, he rubbed shoulders with Xia Wei. Hearing her words, he ran in and called Shen Liang, “Go, go, go to the station to pick up Chen Shi!”

Shen Liang was scraping the dry paint in the paint box with a knife, without raising his head, he said, “And taking him as an ancestor? Go if you want to, but I won’t go.”

Lin Mao took off his pocket knife, “What’s uncomfortable to go in. And we have to go out to eat together at night.”

Shen Liang walked out with his shoulders hooked by Lin Mao, “I don’t have any money with me.”

Lin Mao said, “When the time comes, it will be shared equally, and I will pay for your share. It’s interesting enough. If you are xiongdi, don’t force it anymore.”

Huang Dan’s voice sounded from behind, “Lin Mao, you didn’t take your bag.”

Hearing this, Lin Mao immediately ran back to get the canvas bag, and he said afterward, “Shuran, do you want to go?”

Just as Huang Dan was about to speak, Zhou Jiaojiao rushed ahead of him and said, “That’s your school’s, and Shuran doesn’t know him, so he will not join in the fun. Maybe it’s not good to put a hot face on a cold butt, right Shuran?”

Lin Mao said, “That’s fine, I’ll……”

Huang Dan interrupted Lin Mao, “My gouache painting is finished, there is nothing else to do anyway.”

Zhou Jiaojiao watched the two of them go out together, and couldn’t help but say to her father, “That repeat student must be very proud, why would Shuran go, isn’t this just making yourself uncomfortable?”

Father Zhou said, “It’s not a bad thing to make more friends.”

Zhou Jiaojiao curled her lips in disapproval, changed a piece of drawing paper and started practicing drawing.

It was a long way from the Agricultural University to the station. Shen Liang suggested taking the bus, but Xia Wei refused, saying that he had already arrived at the station, and we didn’t know when the bus would arrive.

“Stop talking nonsense, I’ll pay for the taxi.”

As soon as Xia Wei said this, just now those who were feeling it was unnecessary to take a taxi, and it was boring, not comfortable as public transport, Lin Mao and Shen Liang both shut their mouths.

Huang Dan was rushing to catch up, so he didn’t participate in that kind of discussion.

A taxi was stopped by the roadside at the school gate, Xia Wei sat in the front, and Huang Dan and the others went to the back seat.

“Dajie, go to the station.” (Dajie= big sister)

After Xia Wei finished speaking, she called, “We have already set off and will arrive soon, no, we agreed to pick you up, that’s all, don’t run away by yourself.”

The back seat is quiet.

Huang Dan and Shen Liang sat by the car door, and Lin Mao sat between them. If the car bumped, his head might hit the roof of the car. He has prickly hair, and he arranges his hair every once in a while.

There was only Xia Wei’s anxious voice in the car, “Why haven’t we reached yet?”

The driver was a middle-aged woman. She joked, “Student, it is a four-wheeled car, and doesn’t have wings, so it can’t fly in the sky.”

Xia Wei’s face flushed, “On the Internet, it says it will only take about 20 minutes.”

The middle-aged woman said with a smile, “The National Day is not over yet. If there are too many cars, it will be easy to get stuck in traffic.”

Xia Wei was speechless.

The middle-aged woman looked at the road conditions, “Student, are you going to pick up your boyfriend at the station?”

Xia Wei said no, and she didn’t say anything else.

When they arrived at the place, Xia Wei rushed to the front. She was running, her long hair fluttering behind her shoulders, and her two long legs in black stockings were very eye-catching.

Lin Mao muttered, “She actually wants to, but it’s a pity that Chen Shi doesn’t care about her.”

Huang Dan didn’t hear clearly, “What did you say?”

Lin Mao put his hands behind his head, “The flower has intention, but flowing water is ruthless, isn’t that what it said, right, Shen Liang?”

Shen Liang has been sullen since he got out of the taxi, he walked at the end, walking very slowly, “Well, that’s what it said, you understand the meaning better than me.”

Lin Mao cursed.

Huang Dan and the others were waiting at the door, and after a short while, they saw Xia Wei coming out of it, and there was another boy beside her.

The boy was tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, and a pair of basketball shoes on his feet. His one hand in pocket, bowed his head sideways, and said something to Xia Wei, with the broken hair on his forehead falling down, covering his brows and eyes meekly.

But the moment the boy raised his head, arrogance and sharpness shot out, and meekness was just an illusion.

Probably because he took a train, the boy’s face was pale.

Huang Dan was originally squatting on the steps like Lin Mao and Shen Liang. When he saw someone coming, he stood up, squinted his eyes, and used a probing look.

Lin Mao crossed over Huang Dan and ran up, chatting and laughing with Chen Shi, “My roommate is here too.”

When Huang Dan heard Lin Mao calling his name, he stepped closer and stood in front of the boy. When he was looking at the boy, his gaze could only fall on the other person’s Adam’s apple, so he had to look up.

The boy’s hoarse voice sounded above his head, “Shuran, right? Hello.”

Huang Dan looked at the hand that was stretched out. He reached out to hold it, but when he felt a rough touch, he forgot to let go.

Lin Mao and Xia Wei next to him failed to understand the reason why.

In the end, Shen Liang came over slowly, Chen Shi withdrew his hand and put it in his pocket again, which broke the weird atmosphere.

The group found a restaurant and had a meal.

The boy had a large amount of food, and the four of them ate a lot, Xia Wei ate the least, and she secretly paid for it.

Chen Shi rubbed his eyebrows, “Xia Wei, didn’t you tell me to pay next time?”

Xia Wei smiled, “Not much money.”

Lin Mao’s dog-legged laugh, “Miss Xia, accept me as your xiaodi, I promise to follow your lead.”

Xia Wei said disgustedly, “Open your eyes first.”

Lin Mao gave her a supercilious look.

Chen Shi turned his head and found that the young man was looking at him. He stroked the rim of his wine glass, “Since the station, you’ve been looking at me like this. Why? Have we met?”

Huang Dan said, “No.”

He recalled the scene when he left the station. There were many cars parked outside, and the boy showed an obvious change. His hanging other hand was also put into his pocket, and it was in the shape of a fist.

After getting into the car, the boy’s condition was even more serious than what Lin Mao described.

Huang Dan sat next to the boy, and didn’t dare to talk to him, because he was on the verge of collapse and would faint any time.

After eating a mouthful of food, Huang Dan looked again. Right now, the boy looked like a normal person, with a lazy arc on the corner of his mouth, and he looked like a different person from the car.

Noticing that the young man’s eyes were complicated, Chen Shi lit a cigarette and took a puff skillfully, “Lin Mao, your roommate is quite cute.”

Huang Dan noticed the boy’s little habit, he would take the cigarette case, turn it on the table twice, and then put the lighter on.

Lin Mao thought that his roommate would be unhappy, after all, no man likes to be described as cute, but he seemed to be mistaken, “Shuran, are you not angry?”

Huang Dan said, “Not angry.”

Lin Mao’s jaw almost dropped to the table, “Damn it, you indeed now……even I want to bully you.”

Huang Dan said, “You can’t bully me.”

Listening to his serious tone, Lin Mao didn’t close his mouth for a long time.

Xia Wei interjected, “Lin Mao, why are you bullying Shuran? What a nice guy he is.”

She changed out of her white dress at noon, and she wore a red plaid dress with a collar and loose hair that could cover the scratches on her neck, but her face was still very white.

At this moment, Shen Liang, who had rarely talked since Chen Shi appeared, farted.

The food on the dining table has not been removed, and there are two dishes that have just been served for a while, and they are still steaming. That fart is too inappropriate.

Xia Wei pinched her nose, “Who is it?”

Lin Mao also jumped up, “Shen Liang, did you release it? Damn, it’s you boy!”

Shen Liang didn’t change his face, “It’s just a fart, There’s nothing I dare not admit, but I didn’t release that fart just now.”

Except for Chen Shi, Xia Wei and Lin Mao all turned their attention to Huang Dan who was sitting with Shen Liang.

Shen Liang also looked over, with a look of holding his breath.

Huang Dan said, “There will be more.”

After he finished speaking, he stood up from the chair and walked not far away.

The next moment, Frrrt sound came from Shen Liang’s position. This time there was no Huang Dan, and it was impossible for him to blame anyone else.

Under Xia Wei and Lin Mao’s contemptuous gazes, Shen Liang covered his stomach with arms and went to the bathroom with a pale face.

Lin Mao asked curiously, “Shuran, how do you know that Shen Liang will release another one?”

Xia Wei was also curious and found it unbelievable.

Huang Dan said that he guessed, not fully sure, “He ate badly, when I went to the toilet just now, I heard him release several in the cubicle.”

Xia Wei and Lin Mao, “……”

Chen Shi on the opposite side laughed muffledly, “It’s really cute.”

After dinner, Lin Mao suggested that everyone go to an internet cafe.

Chen Shi leaned on the back of the chair, “Go tomorrow night, I’m tired from the ride today, and I don’t have much energy.”

Xia Wei said, “Then let’s go to our studio, it happens to be sketching at night.”

Chen Shi flicked the ash into the wine glass, “Okay.”

Huang Dan’s peripheral vision was withdrawn from Shen Liang’s face imperceptibly.

In the evening, Xia Wei was the model.

Teacher Liu also took a drawing board to draw, and the others sat around him so that they could take a look.

Lin Mao asked Chen Shi to correct his shape, but Chen Shi didn’t agree, “You painted Xia Wei as a man, I can’t correct it.”

“Where does it look like a man? Didn’t I draw her two big earrings?”

Lin Mao found something, so he erased Xia Wei’s face with an eraser, only to realize that he had sketch the other person’s oval face into a square face.

Chen Shi glanced at the young man beside Lin Mao. He moved his hand and wanted to change two strokes, but he held back and just pointed at one place., “Xiao Wei’s eyes are hooked in here.”

Lin Mao smiled ambiguously, “You have observed so carefully.”

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows, “I don’t know how many times she has been a model.”

Xia Wei is beautiful and very confident in her appearance. She has been a model the most, whether it is in this studio or in school.

Huang Dan noticed that Xia Wei’s eyes swept over here, not on him or Lin Mao, but on Chen Shi, and there was a clear admiration in that sight.

Seeing that the young boy was holding a pencil and didn’t move for a long time, Chen Shi lifted one leg forward and touched his back, “Stunned?”

Huang Dan said, “No.”

He heard the footsteps, the boy had already left, moved a chair to the back and sat down with his legs crossed to smoke.

Three hours later, everyone’s paintings were placed on the ground and placed together. It was easy to tell who drew well and who did poorly.

Teacher Liu made comments one by one, and when he arrived at Zhou Jiaojiao’s place, he shook his head with a smile, “If you weren’t here, I would have thought someone stepped on your painting.”

Amidst everyone’s laughter, Zhou Jiaojiao’s face was as red as fire, “It’s because the painting is dirty.”

Teacher Liu said, “However, the shape is a bit Xia Wei.”

Zhou Jiaojiao became proud.

Everyone knows that Zhou Jiaojiao’s shape is very inaccurate at ordinary times, no matter who is the model, she can draw almost the same, this time is an exception.

Xia Wei looked at the painting, looked at Zhou Jiaojiao, and found it unbelievable, “Jiaojiao, you look at my face every day, even watch attentively, isn’t it? Then how don’t you draw me alike?”

Zhou Jiaojiao wiped the pencil dust on her pants, anyway, she didn’t need to wash them herself, “Some people are so narcissistic.”

Xia Wei was too lazy to care about her.

Everyone sketched on the same model, and the faces they drew were all kinds of, and the portraits they could draw were pretty good, but the most fearful thing was that they were looking at a person’s face, and they didn’t know whose face they drew.

When Teacher Liu showed Zhou Jiaojiao’s painting just now, Lin Mao laughed loudly. When Teacher Liu said that his painting looked a bit like himself, he stopped laughing.

Zhou Jiaojiao said, “You and Xia Wei deserve to be in the same class, isn’t it Shuran?”

Huang Dan was absent-minded, “Huh?”

Zhou Jiaojiao sighed, “Pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Shen Liang’s painting method is the same as Teacher Liu’s. In many places, you can see the traces of grinding with fingertips or toilet paper. The lines are very delicate and soft.

Teacher Liu gave a very high evaluation, “The chin is drawn a little shorter, and the hair here on the neck would be better if it is thinner.”

Shen Liang wrote it down seriously, without any arrogance at all.

It was Huang Dan’s painting of Xia Wei, and the corners of the eyes were handled very well. After Chen Shi’s guidance, it was remarkably similar to Xia Wei.

Even Xia Wei herself felt like it, she said happily, “Shuran, besides Chen Shi, you are the one whose painting resembles me the most.”

Teacher Liu’s painting is right next to his. Xia Wei said so, but he didn’t show any change in expression.

Because of the little details in the corner of Xia Wei’s eyes, and he didn’t catch them.

Everyone can tell whose painting resembles more. Although Teacher Liu’s painting achievements can’t be compared to the current Huang Dan in all aspects, the form is indeed one point behind.

After finishing the sketching, everyone left together.

Xia Wei and Lin Mao asked Chen Shi one by one, where would he live at night, whether he would come to the studio tomorrow, and what time would he meet at the Internet cafe tomorrow night? There were many questions.

Huang Dan walked behind, and Shen Liang was beside him, exuding a gloomy aura silently.

“Has he ever touched your drawing?”

A voice sounded in his ear, Huang Dan came back to his senses, “No.”

Shen Liang laughed, “I think so, he doesn’t put others in his eyes, and whoever asks him to correct the painting depends on how he feels, which is bigger than the teacher’s ostentation.”

Huang Dan frowned, feeling that Shen Liang was acting strangely, but he didn’t say anything.

Shen Liang glanced at him, “I told you, you wouldn’t tell Lin Mao, would you? It’s fine too if you tell.”

Huang Dan said, “Then why did you tell me?”

Shen Liang shrugged, “Who told him to only give you pointers tonight, if it weren’t for him, that painting would be much worse tonight.”

Huang Dan ，“……”

He thought, Shen Liang is acknowledging that himself is not as good as others, but couldn’t control his jealousy.

Tonight, Teacher Liu locked the door himself. Before leaving the studio, he checked carefully, not letting go of a corner, to make sure that no one was hiding behind any drawing board before leaving.

The next day the studio exploded, because Xia Wei on all the paintings had no face.
