Lin Ziyan's face turned red and he coughed slightly, "I just drew it casually."
"I think there is a prototype."
"The prototype is nothing! Look at your book, where does all this nonsense come from!"
Gu Yebai was noncommittal, but a scene became clear in his mind.
In the forest at dusk, two girls walked forward laughing and joking. One of them was the girl on Lin Ziyan's picture. She was yelling at her that day. Now it seems that the situation has become quite interesting.
There was some backlight on the other girl's face, her eyes were slightly squinted, her brows were light, but there was a slight hint of sadness in her eyes, and the afterglow seemed unable to penetrate her.
He was slightly lost in thought when the teacher on the podium suddenly said: "Who is Gu Yebai?"
He had to stand up.
"Professor Xia will have a meeting in City S tomorrow. He won't be able to come back over the weekend. Please let me tell you that the tutoring will be rescheduled to this afternoon. You should come to his office to find him after class."
As he spoke, Teacher Ma Zhe also glanced at Gu Yebai several times, as if he was also curious about what this boy who favored Professor Xia looked like.
A few words made the already noisy classroom fall silent, and then someone whispered: "Why Gu Yebai? It is Wei Zijian who should give this tutoring."
Lin Ziyan said loudly: "Gold is shining."
Gu Yebai frowned slightly. The teacher couldn't tell him after class. Professor Xia was famous, but he was too mediocre in the class.
There was a gaze behind him. When he sat down, he looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that that was Wei Zijian's position.
As soon as the class bell rang, several classmates, both male and female, came towards him. They seemed to want to inquire about Professor Xia. He pulled Lin Ziyan into the corridor as an obstacle and walked out of the classroom quickly.

Department of Fine Arts Administration Building.
"Gu Yebai."
Someone walked by the door of Professor Xia's office and suddenly called him.
Gu Yebai stopped. He was beautiful and had an outstanding temperament. He had met him several times.
"Hello." He greeted back.
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "Why do you always wear glasses?"
"I'm used to it." He replied calmly.
"Looking for Professor Xia?" Huai'an looked at the name on the door sign of the office.
"Yes, and you, this is the Art Department."
It was rare for him to tease, and he felt happy and said with a smile: "Professor Zhang in your department and my father are good friends. Someone gave my father a set of brand-name painting tools. He didn't need it, so he asked me to hand it over."
"Well, let's talk later."
She spoke in detail, not treating him as a stranger, but Gu Yebai just nodded and left.
"Wait a minute." She couldn't help but speak again.
Gu Yebai stopped and looked sideways at her.
"Although Professor Zhang is not as well-known as Professor Xia," she lowered her voice slightly, "but I heard that Professor Xia has a weird temper and never wants to teach his disciples independently. If you are interested, I can introduce you to Professor Zhang."
"No, thank you."
"You're welcome." Huaian felt disappointed and slowly turned around and left.
Gu Yebai didn't go in immediately. His eyes fell on the corner of the corridor. He paused before knocking on the door and entering.
At the top of the stairs, a handsome and gloomy face was revealed bit by bit. There was a trace of unknown emotion in his eyes, and he suddenly said alertly: "Who is behind?"
The visitor had no intention of avoiding him and waited for him to turn around.
"Zhou Huaian?" Wei Zijian was stunned for a moment, and a hint of anger was revealed in his heart, but his face remained calm.
"Why are you here?" He half-joked, "Are you looking for me?"
He chased Zhou Huaian, but the other party didn't agree, so he gave up and kept his head down, which was not his style.
"Great talent, is it fun to follow others?" Zhou Huaian said slowly.
"Zhou Huaian, what do you mean?" His eyes finally darkened slightly.
"I don't mean anything. I just saw someone sneakily following Gu Yebai, and I was just curious for a moment." Huai'an was unhurried, and there was even a smile on his lips.
"Is it because of him that you don't agree to me? Is this what you think of a talented girl from the Foreign Languages Department of G University?" He was unambiguous and sarcastic.
"Taste?" Huai'an smiled, "The great scholar Wei Wei told me about his taste. I also want to ask for advice. Are you sure you have the sharpness of a painter?"
"Just because Professor Xia chose him? Have you seen his stuff? He's at the bottom of the class."
Professor Xia chose him? Huai'an was startled, no wonder he rejected her kindness just now.
She just said lightly: "I guess it's because Professor Xia's eyesight is dim, but it's a pity that some people are not allowed in after three visits."
"I don't know what tricks were done behind the scenes to trap Professor Xia."
"If you are inferior in skills, why should you insult others?"
"Zhou Huaian, you are so kind. I treat you sincerely, and this is how you repay me?" Wei Zijian sneered slightly.
"Compared with some sanctimonious people, I am naturally better. Courtesy is the norm. I will return your words to you. Have you ever seen Gu Yebai's true level?"
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
"Great talent, doesn't it look good to show off your face here? It doesn't matter to me. Girls who like you will be very disappointed."
Wei Zijian was a smart man, and he just wanted to scare her, but seeing her calm and composed, he felt that he had seen the right person, which aroused the desire to conquer in his heart.
"Roses with thorns are the most beautiful, Zhou Huaian, just wait and see, you and I are not done yet." He let go and reminded softly.
"Ye Ling's column in "Primary Colors" will have something you want to know." Huai'an didn't say much, put this aside and left.
"primary color"? Wei Zijian felt a slight shiver in his heart. As an art student, it was impossible for him not to know about this authoritative art magazine, one of the top three in the country.
