You Mian was about to get up and leave after speaking, but just as he turned around, Bai Peilan stopped him anxiously, "Wait! ”
You Mian didn't look back, but stopped.
After a few seconds in the silent private room, Bai Peilan's patient and restrained voice could be heard saying: "The preliminary round of the Star Cup is just a few days away, and the competition process of the three groups is the same, how are you preparing?" ”
You Mian frowned, turned around and lowered his eyes coldly to look at her.
Because of the posture, he once again looked at these people of the You family from this top-down perspective.
I saw Bai Peilan raise her chin slightly and look up at him, as if she knew that her approach was a little ridiculous, so she asked in a roundabout way: "The Xingchen Cup is indeed one of the best art competitions, even you may have worked very hard to prepare, not to mention Linlin, he has recently..."
Without waiting for her to finish, You Mian directly interrupted: "If you have something to say, let's talk about it directly." ”
The boy's beautiful amber eyes full of warm smiles were full of cold alienation at the moment, so that Bai Peilan couldn't help but look away after just one glance.
"There's no need for us to be so respectful." You Mian's words were exquisite, "I haven't seen any ugliness." ”
Bai Peilan's elegant face distorted for a moment, but she could only endure it for Bai Lin's sake.
Bai Peilan clenched her fingers, tried her best to put on a gentle smile and said, "I heard Jiyuan say that he talked to you about painting a few oil paintings for Linlin to participate in the competition, and now it's this time, do you still want to delay?" ”
The date of the preliminary round was approaching, and Bai Lin shrank himself in the oil painting studio at home and refused to come out for a single step.
Bai Peilan saw the pain in her heart, so she could only come to You Mian as a dead horse doctor.
You Mian was silent for a few moments when he heard this, and his cold pupils looked at Bai Peilan with a bad look, and denied: "You Ji is far from 'talking' with me, and I have never agreed to this matter. ”
Bai Peilan knew that You Mian couldn't agree so easily, but then she heard You Mian sneer again, and said, "What's wrong?" Bai Lin, who makes you proud, can't even draw an oil painting that can participate in the preliminary competition? ”
Bai Peilan paused suddenly, and then his anger was about to burn.
But You Mian lowered his eyes and swept her lightly, and said with a smile: "Are you angry?" Ms. Bai, this is not a begging attitude. ”
Bai Peilan forcibly suppressed that anger under a smile when she heard this.
"Then you say, how can I ask someone?" Bai Peilan looked at You Mian, she didn't believe that You Mian's indecisive, scruples, weak and easy-to-handle temperament really dared her to beg him.
It's just a child in a welfare home with no father and no mother.
So Bai Peilan's heart was slightly settled, and she sat on the tatami mat with a proud expression, looking like she didn't speak.
You Mian could guess what Bai Peilan was thinking at this moment with just one glance.
Do these people still think that they can use the so-called 'family affection' to shackle themselves? It's ridiculous and ridiculous.
So You Mian didn't leave, but sat back on the tatami mat, his back straight, and his eyes were cold.
Curly hair swept across his white forehead, long eyelashes that drooped slightly obscured a bit of amber eyes, and the exposed skin on his neck looked even whiter in the sunlight outside the window.
The boy sitting in front of Bai Peilan has an outstanding temperament and is extraordinarily noble.
Bai Peilan was very jealous of his appearance of being better than Bai Lin without professional etiquette guidance.
Who is the biological child of the You family, Bai Peilan has imagined driving You Mian out in her mind countless times, as long as this person is gone, who cares whether Bai Lin is smart or stupid.
It's all because he...
Without waiting for Bai Peilan's thoughts to continue to sink, You Mian's voice came coldly from in front of him.
"Didn't Ms. Bai ask for help?" You Mian picked up the warm teacup in front of him and took a sip, looking like he was waiting.
Bai Peilan didn't expect You Mian to really dare to let her beg him, and for a while she even forgot about her dignified and elegant demeanor, frowning and shouting: "You Mian!" What is your attitude? ”
You Mian lifted his eyelids and put the teacup back on the table with a click.
He didn't say anything, but it was enough to make Bai Peilan's angry emotions return.
Bai Peilan didn't forget the purpose of coming to You Mian today, on the one hand, she wanted him to restrain his arrogance in the show, and secondly, she wanted him to produce a few oil paintings for Bai Lin.
"The conditions are already here." You Mian said lightly.
Bai Peilan finally put on a warm smile again, she folded her hands on her knees, and whispered, "You Mian, I beg you, I beg you." ”
"Please paint a few oil paintings for Bai Lin, isn't he your brother? Although you are not related by blood, we are family. ”
"What is it about helping each other as a family?" Bai Peilan hung up the villain's face, "Please, draw a few pictures for Bai Lin to ensure that he can advance all the way from the preliminary round to the finals." ”
"It would be nice if I could get the Gold Award!" Bai Peilan's eyes widened, and the desire in them was about to overflow.
You Mian looked at her and smiled lightly, got up and said, "Got it." ”
Bai Peilan anxiously tried to pull him but didn't hold it, grabbed it empty, she grinned rudely, "Then you agreed?" Good boy, good boy. ”
You Mian raised his eyebrows and denied condescendingly, "No, I just said, I know." ”
"I know what you're looking for." You Mian took out a voice recorder from his pocket and shook it, and said calmly in Bai Peilan's shocked expression: "Don't bother me before the end of the Star Cup, otherwise I will send out the words just now." ”
"As for Bai Lin." You Mian walked to the door and opened the door, sneered and said, "Let him stop slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, but as long as he can put a little time to eat, drink and have fun, he won't even steal a few paintings from me." ”
"You Mian!!" Bai Peilan's roar rang out from the private room behind him, but the boy still left without looking back.
You Mian walked out of the restaurant and into the street, the cool autumn breeze blowing across his cheeks, waking up the sadness and anger that had just been hidden under his calm face.
It's not worth it.
You Mian took a dashing step, thinking that it was not worth feeling sad for these people.
In the classroom of A University, Bai Lin slammed his mobile phone out after answering the phone, and his whole person was twisted with anger.
What does it mean that You Mian refuses to paint, and what does it mean that You Mian refuses to help?
Bai Lin's chest rose and fell violently from anger, and malice condensed in the bottom of his eyes.
It's just a few paintings, You Mian doesn't help, isn't there anyone else who can help? It's ridiculous.
The door suddenly opened in the empty classroom, and Bai Lin looked back in fright and found that it was actually the class leader.
The boy saw that there was still Bai Lin in the classroom and instructed: "I'll go first, remember to lock the door when you leave later." ”
As soon as Bai Lin barely showed a smile, he heard the squad leader frown and wonder: "No, isn't it an art history make-up exam today?" I remember that your name was also on the make-up list, Bai Lin, aren't you going to take the exam? ”
Facing the squad leader's puzzled gaze, Bai Lin smiled and said, "You must have read it wrong, I didn't fail the course, of course I don't have to take the exam." ”
The squad leader frowned even more suspiciously, "Really?" That could be my mistake. ”
The boy closed the door and left, the footsteps getting farther and farther away.
Bai Lin sat down in the chair relaxed, his face always with a cute smile on his face.
"Just an inconsequential exam." Bai Lin picked up the spatula and slashed a big cross on the canvas in front of him.
"What about the make-up exam, and what about failing the course?" He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "There's nothing that money can't solve." ”
The You family can stuff him into A-university, and they can also remove him from the list of make-up exams.
Bai Lin picked up the mobile phone that he had just thrown away, and randomly clicked on a school exchange group to start looking for a target.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to find a sculpture student who was asking for a part-time job.
Bai Lin looked at the three words of the sculpture department that fell in front of the person's business card and snorted coldly, he really had a relationship with the people in the sculpture department.
[Hello junior brother, I am Bai Lin, a junior in the Department of Oil Painting, and I saw that you were looking for a part-time job in the large group of the school's art academy, right? Interested in coming out and chatting? 】
In less than a few seconds, the other party replied in seconds.
[Hello senior! Okay, okay, I'm free. 】
The smile on Bai Lin's face became a little more real, and he typed and asked: [Senior brother, how are your basic art skills, can you paint oil paintings?] Can you send me a few of the previous works first? 】
The reply was a little slower, but it was sent quickly.
[I'm sorry senior, I'm from the sculpture department, these oil paintings were painted a few years ago during the training camp, you see, my current level may have dropped a little. 】
Bai Lin couldn't see any difference between these paintings and You Mian's, so he quickly agreed on a meeting time.
People who want to work part-time must lack money, and the things that can be solved with money are the easiest in the world.
Just as Bai Lin was about to leave, the door of the classroom was pushed open again.
The person who came this time was actually Huo Yanzhi.
Bai Lin has been busy with Xingchen Cup these days, and he really has no time to maintain a relationship with them, but now that he has someone who can paint for him, Bai Lin's mood has stabilized a lot.
He smiled at Huo Yanzhi, "Brother Huo, why are you here?" ”
Huo Yanzhi saw that he was packing up his painting tools, "Are you leaving?" I didn't come by luck. ”
Huo Yanzhi likes to stay by Bai Lin's side and watch him paint, and often sits for a day.
Bai Lin was also very willing to let him stay before, but recently, I don't know what's wrong, Bai Lin doesn't like it more and more when he is painting, and he doesn't like it anymore, saying that it will disturb his thoughts.
Huo Yanzhi came on this trip today because he really couldn't get through the entanglements in his heart.
More and more often, he recalled the time when he had accompanied You Mian in the sculpture classroom.
So much so that Huo Yanzhi wanted to hurry to Bai Lin's side to dispel those unwarranted thoughts.
But it seems unfortunate that he came today, Bai Lin does not plan to continue painting.
Bai Lin smiled at Huo Yanzhi's disappointed expression, forget it, who made him feel good today, since Huo Yanzhi wants to accompany him, then accompany him.
Bai Lin put down the painting tools under Huo Yanzhi's surprised gaze and set up the canvas again.
"Originally, I was bored and wanted to leave, but Brother Huo, you are here, I can continue to paint." Bai Lin smiled sweetly.
Huo Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, he walked to another easel where no one was sitting, dragged the man's chair and sat next to Bai Lin.
"Just when I don't exist, you draw yours, I try not to make a sound." Huo Yanzhi's sturdy arms were propped up on his knees, and his rough brows were frowning slightly, obviously bothered by something.
Bai Lin smiled, hid the canvas that had been damaged by the scraper just now, and replaced it with a new one.
Huo Yanzhi propped up his chin and suddenly asked, "Bai Lin, what color are you used to using to pave the bottom?" ”
Bai Lin was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "I don't pave the bottom, and sometimes I only use gray and white when I really need to." ”
The color is too heavy and too dark, which will affect his subsequent strokes.
Huo Yanzhi blinked, "Really?" ”
"Does Brother Huo also want to learn oil painting?" Bai Lin smiled, didn't take the question just now, and said: "The most important thing in learning to paint is the basic skills, don't learn those bells and whistles at the beginning." ”
Huo Yanzhi smiled lightly, his handsome appearance was very handsome.
But when Bai Lin started to draw, Huo Yanzhi's brows not only did not loosen, but became tighter and tighter.
Is Bai Lin's painting like this? Huo Yanzhi was a little puzzled, how could this be.
It's not new, it's not interesting, it's not even a good thing to look at.
Look again.
Huo Yanzhi gave himself an excuse, maybe Bai Lin hadn't entered the state yet, so wait and see.
Bai Lin's mind was not on the canvas, so he added left and right, and asked with a smile: "What did you all play in this issue when I was sick and absent?" Leaving me behind is it more fun than usual? ”
Huo Yan subconsciously denied, "No." ”
Bai Lin raised his eyebrows and made a cute expression, "What kind of date is it?" Brother Huo, who did you get into a group with? ”
Huo Yanzhi remembered the Q&A session before the water boat, remembered the incompatibility of a third party in the aquarium, and remembered the relationship between You Mian and Pei Huaiji.
The man's eyes sank instantly, "It's boring, it's boring." ”
Bai Lin smiled and tilted his head, "Is it because I'm not there?" ”
Huo Yanzhi thought of the little daisy that Yan Tingxuan gave away, and replied absentmindedly: "Hmm." ”
"Where's Youmian?" Bai Lin suddenly pronounced the name that Huo Yanzhi was thinking about, which made the man's brows jump.
But Bai Lin just asked: "Who is You Mian in the group?" ”
Huo Yanzhi was silent for a long time, and said softly with his chin covered: "I didn't pay attention, I didn't pay much attention to him, I don't remember." ”
Bai Lin smiled with satisfaction and continued to paint, his strokes were random and unorganized.
This time, Huo Yanzhi really felt bored.
He let his thoughts drift, and the first thing that came to his mind was what You Mian was doing now.
Is You Mian also in a sculpture classroom at University A? Do you dig in the mud with a clay bucket like before?
The scraper rustled on the canvas, which also made Huo Yanzhi come back to his senses suddenly.
The man hid his shocked look.
Huo Yanzhi was at a loss, what was he thinking just now?!
