The frequent and consecutive thunderstorms probably exhausted Tan Yin's luck. After that, the weather forecast showed sunny weather for a whole week. Seeing that there was no hope of rain, Tan Yin simply went to remove the plaster. With her father restricting her financial resources, she began to pay attention to various work-study opportunities. Although Jiang Yilu generously expressed that it was no problem to "support" Tan Yin, Tan Yin always felt that she had hands and feet and could not always rely on the kindness of friends.
Fortunately, there are still many opportunities for part-time jobs. Tan Yin found a job as a takeaway deliveryman in a high-end Chinese restaurant in the center of City A. He only needs to be on call to take orders during busy weekends. There are actually such jobs near University A, but near the university town, there is too much cheap labor, and the wages for part-time jobs are not high. On the contrary, the jobs in the city center pay a lot more.
When Jiang Yilu entered the dormitory, Tan Yin was counting money on a calculator.
"Don't forget it! The field sketching site for the next architectural landscape sketching class has been decided. It's Lanruo Village in the western suburbs!"
Tan Yin threw away the calculator and said excitedly, "Really? But Lanruo Village is a bit far, and it's not possible to go back and forth in one day."
"So Teacher Lin and the department head negotiated for it. This time we can sketch for one day, stay for one day, and return to school the next morning."
Tan Yin was not in the mood to count the money now. She had wanted to go to Lanruo Village for sketching for a long time. City A is an ancient city with a long history. It was once the ancient capital of many dynasties, and Lanruo Village is the best preserved ancient village building complex. Many buildings were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and are very unique.
Jiang Yilu was still reporting her latest intelligence: "Also, the list of groups for this sketching has come out! Didn't we say last time that we would be divided into four groups, each with a team leader? I got the list from the class committee, and you and I are not in the same group." She winked at Tan Yin, "But you and Chu Hang are in the same group, and he is your team leader."
Tan Yin was completely immersed in the excitement of going to Lanruo Village to sketch, and didn't care about other details. She liked painting, and she loved sketching even more. In fact, she did very well in all courses related to painting. In her freshman year in the Department of Architecture, she studied Chinese and foreign art history, sketching, sketching, and architectural pen drawing. In the first semester of her sophomore year, she studied gouache and architectural sketching, and her grades were even top-notch.
Unfortunately, architecture does not only require the ability of arts and liberal arts. Science and engineering skills are equally important for architecture. Mechanics, water, electricity and heating equipment technical operation, functional thinking, and logical deduction and analysis are all indispensable. In the first semester of the sophomore year, under the pressure of several courses such as building structure, digital building foundation, and building mechanics, Tan Yin relied on his own efforts and finally succeeded in getting the first place in the department, the last one. This glorious achievement is still hung on the banner of Zhixing Building...
"There aren't many hand-drawing courses this semester. CAD drawing, architectural design, and architectural mechanics B are more important. If you want to save your final GPA, you have to work hard on this sketching!"
Without Jiang Yilu's reminder, Tan Yin couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this: "How could an unruly soul like me be trapped in these shitty rules and regulations? I was going to apply to the Fine Arts Department of University A! But my dad refused to let me take the art exam and forced me to study architecture. Does he know that this is killing a future artist!"
Tan Yin became more and more indignant as he spoke: "He insisted on using his experience as a contractor to conclude that architectural designers make more money, and that those who study art can only go out to paint billboards for others. But why doesn't he see that those masters can get millions of dollars just by drawing a few lines with a pen! If we, the architectural dogs, draw a few lines and hand them over to the client, won't you be beaten to death on the spot by the client?"
Jiang Yilu thought for a moment: "But Tan Yin, most of those who studied painting did not become masters..."
Tan Yin was ambitious: "If it were me, I would definitely be Master Tan. You see, I just drew a cartoon casually, but it caused a sensation in the campus forum..." As she was talking, she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what did you say about Chu Hang just now?"
"Chu Hang and you are in the same sketching group this time, and you are the team leader. Do I need to remind you? Because in the last class, two seniors got into a fight over a senior girl during sketching, and they directly damaged the ancient buildings they were sketching. Another senior was addicted to smoking while sketching, but his cigarette butt caught fire and almost burned down the entire orchard... So starting from our class, the team leader scoring system was introduced in the sketching class. The team leader will score the team members' degree of cooperation and team contribution, and the teacher will refer to the team leader's score when grading the homework."
"… "
Jiang Yilu looked sympathetic: "You drew that kind of cartoon for Chu Hang, and made him look so effeminate. He will definitely not forgive you."
"I've thought of it! The previous comics! I can change them!" Tan Yin slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "If Chu Hang is willing, I can continue serializing and change his image. I can set him to learn from his mistakes and exercise his muscles, so that he is no longer as weak as in the comics. In the setting, he will return as a king six months later and become a man among men! At the same time, he will no longer look down on socialist brotherhood! Because in his eyes, those men are not as strong as himself! And he finds that the one who is in love with women is the real him! Later, I will change the style of painting and turn this story into a stud harem. In order to highlight his masculinity, I can arrange more than 20 girlfriends for him. Do you think this is okay? After a period of serialization, the image of Chu Hang in the previous comics can be erased!"
Tan Yin thought for a moment and said, "Although this is a bit of a workload, and I need to think about the natural turning points and handle them well in order to change the style of my paintings and avoid being criticized by readers, I think I can do it if I try hard..."
"Should Chu Hang thank you again?"
When Jiang Yilu said that, Tan Yin also wilted. It was already like this, so she really didn't need to have any wild thoughts. Could Chu Hang forgive her? He must be stupid!
Tan Yin felt that she might not pass her architectural landscape sketching class.
*****
With anticipation and trepidation, Tan Yin finally welcomed the on-site sketching of architectural landscapes. A group of more than 50 people from the Department of Architecture were carried by two large trucks to Lanruo Village. In order to facilitate the counting of people, Teacher Lin asked everyone to sit according to the group before getting on the bus. Tan Yin's group had a total of 13 people, five women and six men. Chu Hang, as the team leader, got on the bus after counting the team members. Tan Yin deliberately slowed down and rubbed against him. At this time, the rest of the people on the bus might have formed groups and sat almost all the way. Tan Yin made a small calculation and prepared to sit next to Chu Hang wherever he sat...
Unfortunately, dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. As soon as Chu Hang got on the bus, he found an empty seat next to Zhang Chen. He turned his head and glanced at Tan Yin coldly, then walked towards Zhang Chen. However, just as he was about to sit down, Zhang Chen, who was sitting by the window and looking at the scenery outside, turned his head and almost jumped up from his seat: "Chu Hang! You can't sit here!"
Chu Hang frowned: "Why can't you sit here since it's empty?"
Zhang Chen touched his nose. He saw Tan Yin behind Chu Hang and suddenly thought, "Because I want to sit with Tan Yin!"
"… "
Zhang Chen said stubbornly: "It's not tiring to work with a man and a woman! Chu Hang, find someone else!"
Chu Hang pursed his lips and said nothing. He obviously didn't care about Zhang Chen's unreasonable behavior. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at Tan Yin: "Do you want to sit with him?"
Tan Yin shook her head and said sincerely: "No! I want to sit with you!"
Chu Hang looked back at Zhang Chen, his handsome face calm and composed: "Did you hear that? She doesn't want to sit with you, and I don't want to sit with her, so you sit with me."
This self-righteous bandit logic stunned both Tan Yin and Zhang Chen for a moment. Chu Hang closed his eyes and rested after sitting down, but Zhang Chen was still restless. He pretended to look at the scenery, but at the same time he couldn't help but stealing glances at Chu Hang with a vigilant look, as if he was afraid that he would be taken advantage of.
Chu Hang naturally didn't know why Zhang Chen suddenly became so nervous today, but Tan Yin knew it very well. Not long after the car started, she stood up and walked to Zhang Chen: "Well, I feel a little carsick. How about changing seats with you? I want to sit in the front row by the window..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Chen stood up and said, "Sit down, sit down!"
Before Tan Yin could react, he ran away like the wind.
*****
Chu Hang opened his eyes almost as Tan Yin sat down. He frowned and glanced at Tan Yin coldly: "You are a girl, can you be more reserved?" As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Hang was about to get up and change seats.
At this moment, Tan Yin only wanted to repair her relationship with Chu Hang so that she could get a high score in the team leader's evaluation. She came here to negotiate and surrender. When she saw Chu Hang was about to leave, she grabbed him without thinking much. Because Chu Hang had already stood up, Tan Yin raised her arm and just happened to reach his pants...
At this moment, she was holding Chu Hang's pants tightly, as if she was going to pull his pants down if he tried to leave.
Chu Hang's face turned completely black: "Let go."
Tan Yin was afraid that he would run away if she let go, so she kept pulling her pants and said sincerely: "Chu Hang, I actually wanted to come here to apologize to you today, please give me a chance..." Tan Yin rolled her eyes, "And other seats are not empty now." While speaking, Tan Yin kowtowed and brushed off the non-existent dust on Chu Hang's seat, "Please sit down, leader, please sit down!"
What Tan Yin said was true. There were originally only a few empty seats on the bus, and now they were already filled with everyone's luggage, sketching tools and the like.
Unfortunately, Chu Hang's temples throbbed subconsciously when he saw Tan Yin. He felt that something bad was going to happen. He slapped Tan Yin's hand away and said, "I won't sit down. I'll stand. Don't talk to me."
"My grandma said it's still very dangerous to stand in the car while it's driving!"
Chu Hang said coldly: "It's more dangerous for me to sit with you."
"If you stand up, be careful not to be hit by the scattered luggage..."
"How can you ..."
Before Chu Hang finished saying the last word "can", the bus suddenly braked for a turn. Someone's schoolbag on the luggage rack above Chu Hang's head slipped out and hit Chu Hang's nose steadily. Soon, a line of blood flowed from under Chu Hang's straight nose...
Tan Yin quickly pulled Chu Hang to sit down, took out a tissue to cover his mouth, and said earnestly: "I have advised you not to stand while driving. This is the traditional wisdom passed down by the older generation! Fortunately, your nose is not padded, otherwise the prosthesis would fall off!"
…
Chu Hang was so angry that he couldn't say a word. What kind of jinx is Tan Yin? He always felt that he would never feel comfortable whenever he met her. Was the meaning of her existence just to suppress him
Tan Yin was still unaware of it, and she enthusiastically took out a box of things from her bag: "This is the red dates, peanuts, longan and wolfberry porridge that I specially prepared for you. What a coincidence, it's just right for you to replenish your blood!" After that, she respectfully presented the bowl of porridge to Chu Hang, staring at Chu Hang with her bright black eyes, with an attitude of "Your Majesty, please."
Chu Hang was so angry that he almost went to heaven: "You did it on purpose."
"ah?"
"Tan Yin, I'm not picky about food, but there are only four things I don't eat." Chu Hang said word by word, "Red dates, peanuts, longans, and wolfberries."
This is a bit embarrassing...
Tan Yin took back the porridge awkwardly: "I'm sorry." At this point, Tan Yin didn't beat around the bush. She said directly, "But I just want to tell you that I have realized my mistake. It was wrong for me to draw that kind of comic for you before. It not only affected your reputation, but also made up a story out of nothing. I will stop serializing indefinitely! I will also apply to delete the previous posts!"
"It's too late." Chu Hang's nosebleed had stopped. He took away his slender fingers and looked at Tan Yin coldly, "No matter what you do, you can't change the negative impact on my image in the comics that have already been serialized."
Chu Hang's tone was full of gritted teeth, and his expression was extremely ugly. Tan Yin looked up and finally ran out of energy.
I'm afraid it's impossible for Chu Hang and I to resolve our differences...
