Chapter 11 Chapter 11 The Picture of the Two Heroines

Pei Shuyu waited until the sunlight came through the window and into the room through the gaps in the translucent curtains. She closed her eyes and lay on the bed for a while. After the irritability she had just woken up dissipated, she sat up reluctantly.

What caught my eye was Ji Yan who was reading a book at the desk.

Because the curtains were drawn, the light in the room was dim. Ji Yan turned on a desk lamp and asked, "Are you awake?"

Pei Shuyu rubbed his eyes and joked, "Do you have eyes on your side?"

She felt for her cell phone beside her pillow, turned it on and checked the time. It was just past nine o'clock.

Seeing that she had no intention of going back to sleep, Ji Yan closed the book, stood up and opened the curtains.

Suddenly, large swathes of sunlight streamed into the room.

Pei Shuyu turned her face away, and while Ji Yan's attention was temporarily not on her, she stood up and walked quickly past Ji Yan, looking at the girl's expression from a close distance.

Everything works fine.

Pei Shuyu felt relieved and went to the bathroom: "Let's go out for a walk later."

Ji Yan returned to the table and pointed her slender fingers at the blue and white gradient bookmark tucked inside.

Pei Shuyu drew this on a rectangular card. At the top of the card, a light gray-blue ribbon hung from the pressed hole.

When Pei Shuyu came out, she saw Ji Yan staring at the small bookmark in a daze, motionless.

Are you still sad about what happened last night?

Pei Shuyu walked over calmly.

Ji Yan quickly put the bookmark in the book and pretended to be calm: "Have you finished washing up?"

Pei Shuyu smiled helplessly: "I told you that you have more than just those two eyes in front of you."

She casually flipped open the book, and the all-English paragraphs made her dizzy. Pei Shuyu, who never gave herself a hard time, simply pushed it open: "Wait for me to put on some sunscreen and then I'll leave."

The sunlight at the end of April was a little bit harsh, drying out the skin.

"In another month, you'll need an umbrella when you go out."

Pei Shuyu doesn't like summer because it's hot, stuffy, and sometimes makes her body sticky.

The art supply store that Pei Shuyu usually goes to is located on the commercial street in the city center.

At this time, there were not many people in the commercial street. Occasionally, one or two people could be seen holding up their phones to broadcast live. Pei Shuyu pulled Ji Yan away.

"By the way, what's the theme of this bulletin board?"

Pei Shuyu suddenly thought of this problem. When her class teacher came over, she only mentioned that she should make a bulletin board without even mentioning the theme.

Ji Yan shook her head: "No."

Pei Shuyu pondered as she selected the paints: "Then we should just be free to express ourselves as before. If that's the case, then the styles of our four classes don't need to be too unified."

Four classes.

Ji Yan's eyelashes trembled as she squatted down: "Four classes, it will waste a lot of time."

She opened and closed a can of paint, back and forth several times. "A class probably needs three evening study sessions, and your class also has work to paint in the cultural gallery. Can't we give the remaining two classes to someone else?"

"There's not only one art class among ten classes in the school, and you're not the only art student they know."

"Why do you agree to anything anyone asks of you?" Ji Yan asked calmly.

Pei Shuyu said "Ah" and smiled, "We were originally in the same class, there's no need to refuse."

Ji Yan repeated Pei Shuyu's last words in a low voice, laughed in an ambiguous tone, then stood up and retreated to the other side: "I'll wait for you over there."

Pei Shuyu was confused and looked in the direction where Ji Yan left in surprise.

Why did she feel that there was a subtle hint of irony in Ji Yan's words just now?

I probably didn't sleep well, so I had a wrong perception.

Pei Shuyu refused to waste time and continued to choose.

Suddenly, someone patted her on the back, and Hua Yu's voice filled her ears: "Hey, you came so early, isn't Ji Yan with you?"

Pei Shuyu tilted her chin towards Ji Yan's position and asked, "What about you? Can you wake up so early?"

Hua Yu had a bitter face and sneaked around the art supply store. He lowered his voice and said, "Stop talking. My mom sent a message to my class teacher early this morning asking about my grades. I was so scared that I found an excuse to sneak out before she replied."

Pei Shuyu: "...you will also save your life."

Listening to Hua Yu's complaints, Pei Shuyu felt that he was also a little bitter, inexplicably bitter.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, carrying a basket of selected painting materials. "Don't think too much. You might do well on the test this time."

Hua Yu: "I hope so, ah,"

She has always had a keen sense of gossip, especially about the people around her. When she looked up and saw where Ji Yan was, Hua Yu quickly grabbed Pei Shuyu and said, "Over there, over there, Ji Yan."

Not receiving the expected response, Hua Yu turned his head curiously.

Pei Shuyu obviously also saw the person who appeared next to Ji Yan, and stared at him straight in the eyes, as if she could stare a hole through the lucky guy.

Hua Yu was about to speak when Pei Shuyu shook off her arm and strode away.

Hua Yu touched his chin and said, "This person is even more gossipy than me. At best, I can only listen from a distance. Is this person planning to listen closely? This is immoral, too immoral. I have to go and pull her back."

Hua Yu found sufficient excuses for himself and ran after him for fear of missing any good show.

"Hi, classmate, I just saw you chatting with that person. Is she your friend? Can you send me her contact information?" The lucky guy pointed in Pei Shuyu's direction and asked.

Ji Yan's face turned cold, and she looked at the person that Cai Tou Man was pointing at. In just a few seconds, the person he was pointing at appeared in front of her.

Ji Yan narrowed her eyes and spoke slowly and steadily: "She's here."

The lucky guy scratched his head, quickly pulled up the friend code on his phone, and handed it to Pei Shuyu: "Classmate, I just saw you picking out paints. Are you also an art student? You can scan..."

Before she finished speaking, Pei Shuyu pulled Ji Yan over and protected her behind her. She smelled the smell of smoke and subconsciously took a step back, her eyes fixed on the boy's colorful hair.

Such hair color and smell of cigarettes are absolutely not allowed in Yuelan High School.

A student like Ji Yan who only cares about studying cannot be harmed by such people.

It was bad enough to have her uncle's family to blame.

Pei Shuyu's tone was not very good: "There are so many people here choosing paints, are you going to ask each one if they are art students?"

Caitou Man was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Pei Shuyu was too lazy to talk to him anymore. She grabbed Ji Yan's wrist and led him to the cashier, muttering to herself, "Don't bother with people like that. They have colorful hair, smell of cigarettes, and they're wandering around everywhere. They don't look like good people."

Pei Shuyu frowned, feeling that this was a bit wrong. "Of course, what I said is a bit absolute. I don't rule out the possibility of good people. But the one just now didn't look like a good person."

The coldness on Ji Yan's face melted away. She bent her lips, held Pei Shuyu's hand, and followed her footsteps lightly: "Yeah."

Hua Yu and Cai Tou Nan, who had originally prepared to watch the show, stared at each other in amazement.

It’s over before it even begins?

On the way home, Pei Shuyu clearly felt that Ji Yan's mood was much better than when she was in the art supply store.

She was happy with it.

It's so hard to get a vacation, there's no need to ruin your mood with insignificant people.

After placing the painting materials he had bought at the entrance, Pei Shuyu took off his sun-protective clothing, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then took out his tablet to log into a certain platform software.

She has a Weibo account on Big Eyes, and Ji Yan knows this account.

She usually shares her daily drawings when she has nothing to do, of course, not the kind drawn in the studio.

Occasionally, I will take orders depending on my mood.

Because she is a student, she will tell you in advance that she can only paint on weekends and the submission date will be later. If you can accept this, please make an appointment with her later.

Seeing that the deadline for the order he had accepted some time ago was approaching, Pei Shuyu did not delay any longer and started writing.

The person who commissioned the work only requested a line drawing and gave a general description of the appearance, leaving the rest to Pei Shuyu to create on his own.

Pei Shuyu held the pen, thinking about how to express the posture of the line drawing.

A figure appeared in her peripheral vision, and Pei Shuyu's eyes lit up. She called out to the person pouring water, "Ji Yan."

Ji Yan looked at her and asked what was wrong.

Pei Shuyu shyly approached with the tablet in her arms: "Be a model for me?"

Ji Yan: "What?"

Pei Shuyu clasped her hands together and said, "Please, please, it's too late. Be my model and give me some inspiration quickly."

Looking at the pitiful pleading of the person in front of her, Ji Yan couldn't say no. She turned around and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Pei Shuyu said, "Just follow my instructions."

Since the author did not have any specific posture requirements, it would be better to let Ji Yan sit there, holding a book quietly.

The background scene can also be shown.

Ji Yan stiffly opened the book she had been reading this morning and asked, "Is that so?"

Pei Shuyu: "Lift the book up a little, more naturally."

He first sketched out the rough outline, and when refining the line drawing, Pei Shuyu felt something was wrong.

She looked at the line drawing on the tablet, then at the person sitting on the chair not far away, and quickly came to Ji Yan. In the other person's surprised eyes, she put her arm through Ji Yan's waist and pressed Ji Yan's left hand down a little.

She walked around the high chair, stuck close to Ji Yan's lower back, held Ji Yan's calves, and moved closer to the footrest of the high chair.

The breath beside her ear felt hot against her skin. Pei Shuyu nodded subconsciously, then felt the stiffness of the person in her arms. She smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a matter of adjustment."

"Okay." Ji Yan's voice was a little hoarse, and the beauty vein on her neck was throbbing, suddenly attracting attention. Pei Shuyu couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Ji Yan's body trembled slightly, as if she couldn't sit still. Pei Shuyu pinched the back of her neck and said, "It will be quick."

Her nostrils were filled with Ji Yan's scent, which smelled very pleasant.

Not the scent of shower gel and shampoo.

She leaned over to Ji Yan's neck curiously: "It smells so good, is that perfume?"

Why didn't she remember that Ji Yan had the habit of wearing perfume?

Ji Yan gripped Pei Shuyu's hand a little tighter, her heart beating so hard that it seemed to shatter her eardrums.

"No."

Pei Shuyu: "Hmm?"

Ji Yan's voice trembled: "I didn't spray perfume, just start painting quickly."

Thinking that it was her first time as a model and she wasn't used to it yet, Pei Shuyu didn't waste any more time and returned to her original position to paint.

After establishing the basic framework, Pei Shuyu said, "Okay, thank you."

Half an hour later, Pei Shuyu finished the line drawing and opened his eyes to show it to the owner to see if there was anything that needed to be changed.

As soon as I entered Weibo, a red dot caught my eye.
