Unless, we make a wishful assumption about the two girls - they like him.
Then it makes sense.
But Wu An didn't dare to make such an assumption. If it was really wishful thinking, he would be like a fool.
So he smiled, looked at the time, and it was time to practice painting. He stood up with a dry laugh, and said under the pretext of studying, "Don't worry, I will never abandon my friends. I'll go up and practice painting. Good luck!"
Having said this, he went upstairs under the gaze that seemed like a thorn in his back.
……
We practiced color today. Professor Gong said that this is Wu An's weak link and he needs to practice more.
Wu An didn’t have much understanding of the learning objectives of art. Professor Gong said that he should practice, so he just practiced.
But today when I was practicing colors, I was a little absent-minded.
The scene I saw on the basketball court after the game kept flashing in my mind.
——Tang Xiyue sat on a bench bathed in sunlight, reading a book quietly. The dust in the air froze as a result.
Perhaps because of his absent-mindedness, the effect of tonight's practice did not seem to be very good, which gave Professor Gong an excuse to criticize Wu An, and Wu An had to accept it humbly.
It was not until the end of the get out of class that Professor Gong seemed to really care about Wu An.
"I think your problem today is not your state, but your attitude." Professor Gong watched Wu An packing up his painting supplies, frowned and pointed out the root of the problem.
"Why?" he asked Wu An.
Wu An also said frankly: "There is a painting in my mind that I have always wanted to paint."
Professor Gong was stunned, made a "tsk tsk" sound, slapped his thigh, and said, "You have the desire to create, right?"
Wu An: “Ah?”
"If you want to paint, just paint. Don't hold it back." Professor Gong encouraged, "If you can create, then you are a painter, not a painter who just copies."
Then he said in a gentle and persuasive way: "Do you want me to teach you how to create? I can give you an extra lesson right now. How about one more lesson?"
He said this while moving his eyebrows up and down.
He seemed to really want to help, and was a little curious about what Wu An wanted to paint. Of course, the most important thing might be the 2000 yuan lesson.
So Wu An refused.
“I’ll just paint it myself.”
Li Yuhua paid for his lessons so that he could help her pass the art exam and the school exam, not to satisfy her own interests.
When Professor Gong heard that Wu An was going to refuse, his face immediately fell.
"Then you, take care of it."
He was tired, because he knew that if Wu An didn't want to attend classes, he would never be able to get tuition from him.
So, don’t waste your energy.
Wu An packed up his things, rearranged the canvas, picked up a pencil, and began to outline the painting.
He didn't take out his phone to open the picture for reference, because he felt that the picture in his memory was better than the one in his phone.
Soon, the picture in his mind turned into a simple sketch, and then Wu An recalled every detail and slowly added the details to the picture.
Maybe it was because I was concentrating on drawing a picture, so I was very focused.
Before I knew it, a sketch was ready.
It is just a simple picture of light and shadow, but because of the memories poured into it, the simple picture seems to be automatically filled with colors and comes alive.
After painting to a certain stage, Wu An stretched himself and decided to take a break.
As soon as he raised his hand, he saw four people standing behind him. He was so scared that he trembled all over and almost rolled off the chair.
Standing behind were Li Yuhua, Chen Anna, Wei Yuanyuan, and Professor Gong.
Li Yuhua's eyes were full of admiration, while Wei Yuanyuan and Chen Anna frowned. Professor Gong seemed to be judging the painting.
But the focus is not on him, but on the dangerous expressions on Wei Yuanyuan and Chen Anna's faces after they saw the painting.
Wu An: "...So, how did you get here?"
"..."
#21 You make me feel safe
Chen Anna smiled and answered, "How did you get here? Of course I walked up!"
Wei Yuanyuan nodded in agreement with an expressionless face: "Yeah, yeah!"
Then Chen Anna smiled and said, "Since the little brother hasn't come down for a long time, we came up to take a look. I didn't expect that the little brother was so serious about painting."
The smile became more and more terrifying: "This painting looks great."
"Oh, this...thank you for the compliment." Wu An laughed dryly with a tense face.
Then he explained honestly: "I saw a scene this afternoon and it seemed very interesting, so I wanted to draw it, so I drew it."
"Where did you see this scene?" Chen Anna continued to smile.
"The woman in the painting looks so familiar." Wei Yuanyuan widened her eyes and continued expressionlessly.
"Oh, this..." Wu An looked at the painting, then looked at them.
Then he looked at Li Yuhua again and subconsciously looked for help.
But Li Yuhua looked like she was watching a show.
Wu An felt beads of sweat on his forehead.
He was thinking whether to tell the truth or make up a lie.
But his brain was in a mess - just like the feeling when he was doing the questions when he was not Li Yuhua.
Suddenly, he panicked and used his body to cover the painting, lying, "This... I saw this painting on a poster on the street. It looked very beautiful, so I wanted to copy it, so I drew it."
"Is that so?" Chen Anna's expression did not ease.
Wei Yuanyuan also expressed deep doubt: "I, why do I feel that the woman inside looks a lot like Tang Xiyue?"
"No, how could I draw her?" Wu An continued to laugh dryly, his eyes hiding elsewhere, "Isn't she a standard female model figure? So she looks a bit like her, right?"
"Then, what's the matter with this school uniform, stockings, glasses and ponytail?" Wei Yuanyuan continued to question.
"Ah... this might be a coincidence." Wu An swallowed.
"Little brother, was what Sister Yuanyuan said just now really a coincidence?" Chen Anna tilted her head.
"Yeah, yeah!" Wu An nodded vigorously.
"..."
"..."
"..."
After looking at each other, Chen Anna and Wei Yuanyuan still chose not to believe it.
Chen Anna pouted and said, "Little brother would rather draw other girls than me."
"Even if it's not the woman named Tang Xiyue that Sister Yuanyuan mentioned, the painting was based on her impression. Every painter has a reference object in his mind. Little brother, your reference object is her, right?"
Chen Anna pouts as she reasoned, looking very unhappy.
Wu An laughed dryly: "Maybe... a little bit..."
And Wei Yuanyuan made a sour sound: "Damn it, Wu An, do you want to find another girl to study and cheat together?"
"No, it's not like that!" Wu An waved his hands quickly.
"Then you also said that you wanted us to get acquainted with that, that woman." Wei Yuanyuan's cheeks puffed up more and more.
"That's because everyone can discuss studies with her!" Wu An swallowed again: "She is the top student in the grade. If we can study with her, everyone can make progress."
"Hmm, hmm!" Wei Yuanyuan looked like she didn't want to listen to the explanation.
Wu An had a headache and didn't know what to do for a moment.
After a long while, he sighed.
"Come to think of it, it's just a new friend. Is it necessary for you to be like this?" he said, rubbing his temple.
"I just feel that the little brother won't be able to study with us in the future, and I'm angry!" Chen Anna expressed her emotions without hiding her feelings.
Wei Yuanyuan also snorted and said, "I don't want to study with other people, especially that girl."
"It feels so disgusting!" She pouted again after saying that.
After hearing what they said, Wu An probably understood what was going on.
"Are you worried that after I become friends with Tang Xiyue, I will not come to study with you?" Wu An breathed a sigh of relief.
The two girls did not answer.
But that's about it.
So Wu An smiled and promised them, "Don't worry, I will definitely accompany you to study."
"I definitely will!" he promised seriously.
Perhaps because they felt Wu An's promise, Chen Anna and Wei Yuanyuan's expressions eased a little.
Chen Anna pouted and smiled: "Well, little brother must not run away!"
"must!"
"No, you can't change your mind!" Wei Yuanyuan also stared at him and demanded.
"No, no." Wu An continued to promise.
"..."
An inexplicable crisis was thus eased.
Wu An finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that it was almost half past ten, he hurriedly packed up his painting supplies and left the studio.
