Chapter 63: A Story of a Desert Turning into an Oasis
For high school students, evening self-study does not mean the end of the day’s study. Everyone will basically continue studying until midnight after returning home or to the dormitory.
When I feel tired from studying, I can occasionally catch some fish for a few minutes, which is a rare chance to relax.
Some students in Class 12 were just slacking off and browsing their Moments, so they saw Tian Cheng's post...
"Wow? This is you, the student council, and Goddess Su?!!"
"Oh my god! They look alike! Even though they're cartoon characters, you can tell who's who at a glance!"
"This is such a great drawing! It captures each of your characteristics so well!"
"Who drew this, Orange?"
"Ah! I want it too! Who drew the orange for you? Tell me now!!"
"Which store did you draw this at? Send me the link!!"
At the beginning, there were only a dozen likes and seven or eight comments. Later, someone posted a screenshot of Tiancheng in the class group, and many students who had been lurking came out!
A lot of people asked Tiancheng which store they placed the order from, and they also wanted to place an order!
Most of the people who were shouting were girls, and a few boys also joined in the fun.
Tiancheng was tagged a lot in the group, and some people went to ask Zhang Xueyan, but no one came to disturb Su Xing.
Because there are not many people in the class who have Su Xing as their QQ and WeChat friends, and her image as a "cold goddess" in recent years has been too deeply rooted in people's minds, so how can such mundane things disturb her...
Not only students from Class XII, but also some people from other classes liked and commented on Tiancheng's post, asking for the artist and the link.
Tiancheng was shocked by everyone’s reaction!
She just wanted to show off, but she didn't expect so many people would want her profile picture!
She responded to everyone in unison!
Sweet Orange is the Sweetest: "I'm sorry, everyone. These avatars were not ordered from any store. They were drawn by my friend. She is very busy now and I can't bother her anymore! At least not in the next two months! After two months, I will have to ask her opinion to see if she wants to accept the order."
She was not sure whether Su Xing would want to take orders to earn extra money in the future, but she felt that during the last period of the college entrance examination, Su Xing would definitely not delay his studies for the sake of making money.
Although it seems that it only takes Su Xing about ten minutes to draw a portrait, if he draws more, it will also take a lot of time and energy!
So she didn't even ask Su Xing and just rejected everyone!
"Ah! No way! I want it so badly!!"
"That's too much! You can't let us place an order, but you still send it out to show off!"
"Eh? Not in the last two months? Is he also a senior in high school?"
“Isn’t he from our school?”
"I'll go ask the special class if there's anyone who's good at drawing stick figures..."
Sweet Orange was a little panicked by the bombardment!
She sent a private message to Zhang Xueyan.
Sweet Orange is the Sweetest: "Oh Xueyan, what should I do? Have I caused trouble for Su Xing?"
Zhang Xueyan had just rejected several classmates' inquiries, and when she saw Tian Cheng's private message, her expression became serious again.
The pieces were as big as fists: "Did you tell others that the avatar was drawn by Su Xing?"
Sweet Orange is the Sweetest: "I didn't, I didn't tell anyone! But they are already guessing if the painter is a senior high school student, or if he is from our school!"
The pieces were as big as fists: "Hold on! Let them guess, just don't tell them!"
Sweet Orange is the Sweetest: "Okay! Then... should I talk to Su Xing? I wonder if anyone has gone to ask her. She wasn't talking in the group just now. Is she angry?"
The piece was as big as a fist: "She is not that kind of person, don't think too much, she is probably studying, leave her a message saying you didn't mean to cause her trouble, and ask her not to admit that she drew those portraits, don't open the order now, once you open it, it will be wrong to draw for anyone or not!"
Now Zhang Xueyan was a little regretful. She shouldn't have fooled around with Tian Cheng and asked Su Xing to draw a profile picture...
Orange is the sweetest: "Good...?_?"
She left a message to Su Xing in private.
Sweet Orange is the Sweetest: "Su Meiren, I'm sorry. After I posted on WeChat Moments, many people asked me for the information of the artist. They also wanted to draw my avatar, but I didn't tell them. I really didn't mean to cause you trouble! Also... did anyone privately message you to ask you? If someone asks you, you must not admit that the artist is you, at least don't admit it before the college entrance examination!"
After Su Xing and He Xu finished their make-up lesson and hung up the video call, they saw Tian Cheng’s message.
She opened QQ again and looked through the group messages, then replied to Tian Cheng.
Can I stay awake? "It's okay. No one asked me. Don't take it seriously. Just go to bed after studying. Good night."
Tian Cheng replied to Su Xing's message in seconds, "I'm relieved that they didn't harass you. Good night! (*＾3＾)"
……
Su Xing lay on the bed, wanting to check Weibo for a few minutes before going to sleep.
When she clicked on Weibo, she saw that her number of followers had exceeded 20,000!
Oh my god!
Wake up and feel refreshed!
In her previous life, when did her Weibo followers increase so quickly?
Su Xing was so excited that he was no longer sleepy!
She felt that she was suddenly full of inspiration!
She immediately got out of bed, wanting to capture the inspiration of the moment!
Turn on the computer, connect the tablet, and use the pressure-sensitive pen to move flexibly. You can draw a line drawing in just a few minutes!
She looked at the line drawing and felt that there was nothing to modify.
At this moment, she truly felt the benefits brought to her by the 20% painting talent rewarded by the system!
She used to be quite confident in her talent for painting, but even when her painting was at its best in her previous life, it wasn't as smooth and inspiring as it is now!
She started to color.
From the line drawing to the coloring and then processing some details, it took more than half an hour in total!
Although it was still a simple drawing, it was a significant improvement over the eight posters she had drawn before!
She wanted to post this painting on Weibo to gain more followers.
However, she felt that simply posting the picture could not express even one ten-thousandth of the meaning of the story behind the painting!
So, she also edited a text, a true story...
The story will start in 1959...
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country attached great importance to desert control. On March 1959, 3, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Desert Control Team was established...
On April 4 of the same year, the sand control team held a meeting in Minqin County and announced the establishment of the Minqin Comprehensive Sand Control Experimental Station of Gansu Province in Shashanbao, Xuebai Township, Minqin County.
Since then, batch after batch of desertification fighters have left their footprints and sweat in the yellow sand...
After more than 50 years of fighting, the desert has undergone tremendous changes...
This propaganda poster drawn by Su Xing is a narrative painting, telling the story of the soldiers of the sand control team who are determined to turn the desert into an oasis...
