Chapter 23
Xia Yu's face was so calm that it was almost indifferent, an aura that strangers should not enter.
The students all noticed that their great master was a little abnormal, and one or two were moving away from each other with stools and drawing boards in their hands.In the Arctic Circle centered on Xiayu, only Hongmao, who has thick lines of nerves, and Hongmao's squad leader's daughter-in-law are left.
Three strokes and two strokes neatly outline smooth lines. With a 'snap', the tip of the pen broke off on the paper, leaving shocking marks.Xia Yu rummaged through the pencil case, her movements became more and more urgent, as if she wanted to turn the pencil case upside down.
But still couldn't find what she wanted.
She violently rubbed her loose long hair. The long hair that was originally as smooth as water is now messy like a lunatic.
She suddenly picked up the pen case, and the crackling pen fell to the ground, with the dull sound of wood hitting the ground and the crisp sound of the pen tip breaking.A brief but frenzied symphony.
The students who had been concentrating on it were startled, they turned their heads suddenly, and looked at Xia Yu together.
'Red Horse, lend me your eraser. ' Xia Yu said to the red hair in front of her without raising her head.
Hongmao was puzzled, he dug out the spare eraser from the box and put it on Xiayu's table.In the past few days, Xia Yu has an indescribably weird feeling. An art test is coming soon. Anxiety is a normal emotion, but it is too much to think about Xia Yu. 'Are you OK. 'Red Mao's words are worry and concern.
Xia Yu ignored him, but held the rubber rubber tightly in her hand, raised her wrist high, but lowered her hand, as if holding some life-saving medicine.
'it's okay no problem.Let's all leave, let's go about our business. 'The squad leader scanned the classroom, and then said slowly, his voice was faint, but very charismatic.One or two of them have gone back and re-engaged with art.But no one noticed, not even Hongmao himself, the squad leader's sharp gaze that was almost glued to Hongmao's body.
Hongmao was the last one to turn around. When he turned around, he could almost see the worry and concern left in his eyes, which he hadn't had time to put away.The squad leader's eyes tightened suddenly, and his pupils shrank suddenly, like a beast that has been robbed of its prey.
Holding the eraser in her hand, Xia Yu's breathing gradually changed from eagerness to calmness.She calmed down her terrible emotions, slowly calmed down, and recovered her usual calm and terrible self, just like the one who overturned the pencil case just now was not her.
She straightened her messy hair and stared blankly at the eraser she held tightly in her hand.
She wanted to pick up the eraser to erase the eye-catching dark line on the screen, but just picked it up and put it down again.She gently tore off the paper, and when she wanted to continue tearing it off, she smiled helplessly and hit her head heavily with her hands.
Shen Chai's words sounded in my ears again, "From now on, no matter how you paint, you are not allowed to rub or tear it.Let's talk about it when you understand. '
She still couldn't do it, she endured it for a few days, and she was almost on the verge of collapse.In order to prevent her habit of being handy, she cruelly put away the eraser.That's why there was an embarrassing farce today.
Fortunately, she has been silently supporting herself by her side.That gave her the motivation to persevere.
She looked at the eraser and put it on the table.If you don't need it, you don't need it, whoever is afraid of it, at this moment she seems to be possessed by Shen Chai.
Sister Shen must have her good intentions for asking her like this.She believes in her, she must be doing it for her own good.
In a terrible state of infinite anxiety and uneasiness, she has already sat in the examination room of the unified art examination.
Originally, she could pass the exam with her eyes closed, but she did not expect such a sudden situation.
Although she appeared the calmest among a group of art candidates with nervousness written on her face, the pen she held tightly and the sweat soaking through the paper still revealed what she was thinking.
Curls.Each candidate got the same small picture of the character, and the content of the test was to sketch according to the picture, with a time limit of three hours.As expected, all the candidates breathed a sigh of relief.
It is impossible to imagine painting a still life like I usually practice.Light and shadow are different. Candidates sitting in the last row and the first row will definitely not see the same picture, so there is no uniform standard for this.In contrast, this is the best test method.
Seeing the routine questions, she must be the only one sitting there motionless like Xia Yu.
The oppressive and murderous hostility spread inexplicably in the examination room, like an infectious disease, making Xia Yu unable to breathe.
She forced herself to pick up a brush and draw, and to be honest, she didn't want to draw at all.The disgust she had never experienced in her more than ten years of painting studies spewed out in an instant.In fact, what she is tired of is not the painting itself, but the painting method that seems free and easy but actually sticks to the rules.
She closed her eyes abruptly, and then opened them gently, her world seemed to have regained a brief clarity.She tried to grasp this feeling, but it was fleeting at her fingertips like smoke.
She bit the bullet and reluctantly held the brush and continued to draw, each stroke was smooth, but she didn't fully invest in her emotions.It was cold, as if he was painting silently instead of painting.
She sat by the window and glanced out the window.She gently closed her eyes, propped her chin with one hand, and let the wind blow the paper in front of her and the thin bangs on her forehead.
After sitting for a few minutes, she seemed to wake up.She turned to the room, gently picked up the pen, put the one she was drawing below, and pulled out the spare paper.
Simple three or two strokes outline the most familiar outline.The direction of every lock of the other party's hair and the arc of the smile seemed to be imprinted in her mind.She looked at her absolutely independent figure in the painting, as if she was standing right in front of her eyes.Smile to yourself like Pixel Day.A warm smile like the sun.
At that moment of smiling, she seemed to understand something.Just as the thick fog cleared, she stood under the blue sky and looked at herself affectionately and tenderly.
Obviously, I have never forgotten what I want to draw, but I just don't know how to draw it.At this moment, the questions that had troubled her for so many days finally had an answer.
Just go with the feeling.
It's just that she has no eraser.
She took a serious look at the person on the paper, and put the painting down again.Then, with a full face of hesitation, she picked up the previous painting and looked at it.It's too bad, there is no room for Yuantu to recover, what the hell has she done these days.
There was no eraser in the pencil case, and she kept her promise and didn't bring any eraser at all.
No, that's not the case.She suddenly heard Shen Chai's secretive smile before going out.You can tell at a glance that there is clearly a ghost.
After thinking about it, she opened the pencil case anyway.She prayed silently in her heart, this is the last chance, otherwise, she would have to hand over that shameful rotten work, that sketch that could not even compare to her level in the second year of learning to draw.
A miracle really happened.Full of fear and hope, she silently opened the pencil case.She found a piece of the most common and best-used eraser quietly lying in the pencil case, and a large box of pencils that Chen Chai got up early in the morning to sharpen.
She felt a warm current slowly flowing in her heart, and a smile filled her face.
She saw a little black mark on the edge of the eraser, so she gently removed the thin layer of paper on the eraser as she thought.
Sure enough, under the cover is Shen Chai's frivolous handwriting. Due to the limited space, it is only a short two-character 'spare'.Through the words 'strength through the back of the paper', she seemed to see Shen Chai in front of her, with the corners of her thin lips slightly raised.
There was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, she hadn't smiled like this for a long time, ever since she got into a bottleneck.
With a sweet heart, she used this loving eraser to gently wipe up the painting that she had judged to be hopeless.
Looking at the soft white in front of him, it seemed that the indifference and composure that had been lost before had returned.
She glanced at the clock lightly, and it was less than an hour.It is almost impossible to complete a detailed sketch of a character in an hour, but she still picks up the brush and starts to draw.
Even the experienced invigilator looked at Xia Yu with slightly surprised eyes, looking at this girl who didn't rush to start writing when there was a third of the time left in the exam.Either it's too bad, it's almost over, just draw whatever you want.Or it's really a genius, the kind that can pass through with closed eyes with confidence.
With this kind of attitude, Xia Yu went to single recruitment, and she applied to a school.
The last art academy in the country is the one where her father taught.
Can't tell why, she just wants to be admitted to this school.I just want to be admitted to this school, as if I am arguing with someone, and I must pass the exam.
However, she knew that she didn't want to go to this school, which was the heaviest memory of her childhood.
When she got the unified examination certificate a month ago and she only applied for one school, Shen Chai asked worriedly, but she just smiled confidently, "I have gone through that difficult period, and I understand everything.And, I must have it. '
She ranked first in the unified examination in the province, and she was the first in the province without any suspense.However, her real level is far more than the first in the province.It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the best in the national art examination, and that she is a rookie in art.
For her like this, what is so difficult about taking the school exam?In fact, a school had already offered her an olive branch, allowing her to be admitted regardless of her cultural achievements, which meant that even if she got a zero score in her cultural examination, she could still go there.It even included the No. [-] Academy of Fine Arts in the country that she had made up her mind to be admitted to.However, she refused one by one, she hadn't had enough fun, and she was taking the test with her true strength.
In fact, Shen Chai cannot be blamed for worrying.If it were her, she would definitely stick to her goal without hesitation.However, the person facing the test is not her, but Xia Yu.She didn't doubt her ability, but she was afraid that something unexpected would happen.After all, she has experienced too many accidents.In this life, Xia Yu is probably the only one who can make the heartless her miss her like this.
But when she saw the sunny and confident smile on Xia Yu's face, she finally felt relieved.There are so many accidents, Xia Yu is a person favored by fate.Since it was Xia Yu's decision, she just respected it.What should be said has been said.She shouldn't have anything to worry about, and leave the rest to Xia Yu to handle by herself.
Almost as soon as she entered the examination room, she became a famous figure. The invigilator said, "You are Xia Yu." 'It attracted the attention of all the candidates, and there was a whole whispering underneath.
'It's Xiayu who ranked first in the unified examination'
'Isn't she the first in the unified examination? Why is she here for the exam?I woke up laughing if I wanted her grades. '
'Is she Xia Yu? She looks so beautiful. '
Words like these, Xia Yu just fell out of his ears.She ignored the middle-aged male teacher who was smiling brightly, and started to draw with the paper on her own.
The teacher didn't feel embarrassed, he still stood next to Xia Yu with a smile, and didn't move much during the exam, just looking at Xia Yu like this.
As expected, she is Xia Yun's daughter. Like a father, like a daughter, she has the same attitude of being cold and indifferent to world affairs, and even the eyes that focus on painting are the same.The narrow-eyed teacher thought about it.Counting it, Xia Yun has been away for more than ten years, and I don't know how things are going.He said he went abroad to study, and he heard that he held a solo art exhibition two years ago, so he should be doing well.There is also such an outstanding and talented daughter, I guess she can wake up with a smile in her dreams.
Thinking of his old colleague's attitude, he suddenly had an idea that he must take Xia Yu as his apprentice, and see how the "awesome" Xia Yun would react when he found out.It's fun to think about.
Under the watchful gaze of the invigilator, Xia Yu handed in the paper ahead of time, not sure if it was to avoid the rush hour, or to meet Shen Chai who was waiting outside the examination room earlier.Just as he was about to leave, a fat figure chased after him.
"Classmate Xia, don't leave yet. I have something to tell you. Can you give me a chance?" The invigilator smiled all over his face, as if he had expected Xia Yu to turn around.
The refusal that had just come to her lips was retracted, Xia Yu stopped, and sighed helplessly.Then he turned his head and looked at the strange middle-aged male teacher blankly.God knows, this is her maximum limit.
You can't just follow your own temperament. It is a bit unreasonable to reject the school first, and then reject the professor.Not for himself, but also for Shen Chai.
Looking at Xia Yu who did not speak, the professor predicted that Xia Yu would agree.He watched Xia Yu speak slowly, cooperating with the bell ringing slowly at the end of the exam, "Wait for me to take the exam, I'll collect the exam papers first, soon." ' Then he rushed into the classroom at a speed that didn't match his weight.
Candidates walked out of the examination room one by one, and when they saw Xia Yu standing at the door with a cold face, they all stared at him with envious or thoughtful eyes.
As if these gazes had nothing to do with her, she just crossed her arms and remained expressionless.
Fatty professor was the last one to walk out of the examination room, holding a dozen test papers in his arms, and glanced at Xia Yu who was waiting at the door silently, "Let's go." '
Then he walked forward step by step and turned his head three times, as if he was afraid that Xia Yu would run away.
Finally, after walking through the long corridor, the two came to the examination office.
The conference room was temporarily requisitioned as the office of the examination committee, and there were several middle-aged and elderly professors holding test papers standing in twos and threes.
'Yo, Lao Yu is back.I thought you died somewhere, so slow.Hey, who is that little girl behind you? Your daughter is not, your family is a son.Oh, it must be your adopted daughter. '
Everyone else looked up when they heard the sound, and only then did they see Xia Yu behind Professor Yu.
Xia Yu smiled helplessly, as a greeting.
At this time, the professor surnamed Yu said, "You just died." 'He was full of unexplainable pride' This is Xia Yun's daughter. '
'Yo, that little Xia Yun hasn't come back for a long time.He didn't come back to see us either, his daughter is already that old. 'I thought the professor complained like a wretched woman.
Xia Yu's heart turned cold. Sure enough, it was because of her father.I thought I had stepped out of his shadow, but now it seems...
She really wanted to turn around and leave, but she held back.She looked at the people in the office coldly, with an emotionless smile on her face.
Those dull little old men didn't notice the change in Xia Yu at all, they were still chattering.
'Xia Yun's daughter, she should be the first in the unified examination, she did well in the examination, she is indeed his daughter. '
'By the way, what are you bringing her here for now? I haven't finished the exam yet. A professor put down the test paper in his hand and looked at Professor Yu.
He was in a bad mood, he couldn't let them know his intentions, so he tried his best to cover up, "She is so good, why do I still need to take the exam?"I don't care who her father is.I'm not trying to keep her here quickly, but don't be snatched away by other schools. '
The professor sneered and thought to himself, he is not as stupid as Lao Yu thought, he has been working with him for so many years, and he still doesn’t know what kind of single person he is, ‘You want to take advantage of Xia Yun’s absence and accept him The daughter is an apprentice, this relationship, ha ha. '
"It's all seen by you." He had a harmless smile on his face, and he was already thinking about it in his heart.He had to act quickly, he didn't want to see Xia Yu being snatched away by those old things.There is no reason not to miss the opportunity in front of you.He turned his face and looked at Xia Yu with what he thought was the most sincere eyes, "Student Xia Yu, are you willing to be my apprentice? I mean..."
Sigh, other people in the conference room looked at the professor's flattering attitude with disdain.Even if they don't want to admit it, they all hope to accept Xia Yu as their apprentice. One is that she is Xia Yun's daughter, so they can take advantage of it.Secondly, based on the information they know, she is a real genius and a potential stock that can make money without losing money.
Xia Yu listened to them with a blank expression, and then smiled coldly, "Are you finished? I'm leaving." 'The door slammed with a bang, and then left without looking back.
There was silence in the meeting room, and the professors stared at each other speechlessly.Then they looked at each other helplessly, and said in unanimous agreement, it really is Xia Yun's daughter, even strangers are not allowed to enter, and they have the same attitude towards accidents.
'Apprentice, my apprentice, return my apprentice, it's all your fault. 'In the conference room, Professor Yu's wailing came.
Someone comforted Lao Yu, "Anyway, she signed up for this school, so it means she wants to go to it."Don't worry, I will definitely come back, and we will talk about it when the time comes. 'He said he was comforting Lao Yu, but he was actually comforting himself.
