Chapter 179 She Wants to Kiss and Hug Him

Ji Chen briefly exchanged a glance with Bai Lianwan, then smiled and said to Liu Zhijun, "Dean Liu, do you have any questions?"

Yesterday when he was in the painting exhibition area, he saw Liu Zhijun introducing the painting "Winter Willow and Sparrows" to the people around him, and he also learned from the discussions of the crowd that he was the dean of a calligraphy and painting academy.

When Liu Zhijun heard Ji Chen's address to him, he was somewhat flattered.

I didn’t expect Ji Chen to be following him!

After a brief moment of excitement, Liu Zhijun looked at Ji Chen and asked with a hoarse laugh, "I can see that this is a small freehand painting, Ji Chen, and it expresses your inner feelings. But why didn't you paint a mandarin duck or a magpie to praise love, but a sparrow?"

"After all, the most interesting characteristic of mandarin ducks is that they mate when they are still and fly in pairs."

"For thousands of years, mandarin ducks have been a beautiful symbol of harmonious and loving couples. They are also the embodiment of steadfast and pure love in Chinese literature and art. If I were to express my inner feelings, wouldn't mandarin ducks be a better and more appropriate choice?"

"And since magpies have always been associated with the story of meeting on the magpie bridge, it's very fitting that magpies have become a token of love."

"I've seen many artists paint sparrows, but generally, sparrows are used to symbolize perseverance and an unyielding spirit through their tenacious vitality and adaptability, or to evoke a sense of life. Why did you, Ji Chen, choose sparrows over birds more suited to celebrating love?"

This is the point that Liu Zhijun is most curious about this painting.

Not only Liu Zhijun was curious, but even Xie Jinglan was always curious about why Ji Chen used sparrows to paint his paintings.

I had originally planned to ask Ji Chen in private, but I didn't expect Liu Zhijun to bring it up.

When Bai Lianwan heard Liu Zhijun's question, her curiosity was suddenly piqued.

Before she knew that this painting was painted by Ji Chen, she had always wondered why the more she looked at the painting, the more she thought of Ji Chen and felt very warm.

She didn't think too much about the other things. After all, she wasn't that interested in Chinese painting. She just thought it was beautiful and meaningful.

When Ji Chen heard Liu Zhijun's question, he smiled and said, "Why do I paint winter willows and sparrows in freehand style? Actually, there are two reasons."

"The first reason is very simple. The day before yesterday, when I was passing by the winter willow tree in front of the school cafeteria, I saw two little sparrows clinging to each other, and that gave me inspiration."

When the students in the audience heard Ji Chen's answer, they were all stunned and realized it later.

"Holy crap! No wonder the willow tree in the painting looked familiar to me. It's the winter willow tree at the cafeteria entrance."

"Holy crap! Did he just pass by and look at the willow trees and sparrows, and then draw a profound and sentimental picture of dog food?"

"To be honest, if it were me, I would probably only have one thought at that time: should this pair of sparrows be steamed or braised?"

"Me too. Is this why I can't find a girlfriend because I don't have artistic talent?"

"No, there's another reason..."

"What's the reason?"

"Because you're ugly."

…

After hearing Ji Chen's words, Liu Zhijun paused, then continued to ask doubtfully, "What about the second reason?"

If I were simply looking at two sparrows clinging to each other, I wouldn't have expressed my feelings in the painting.

When Ji Chen heard Liu Zhijun's words, his eyes fell on Bai Lianwan who was sitting next to him. He smiled and said, "Because, when I saw these two sparrows together, I suddenly thought of the feeling of being with my little lemon girl, and also thought of what she said to me."

When Bai Lianwan heard Ji Chen's words, she raised her head almost subconsciously and met Ji Chen's eyes full of gentle smiles.

Ji Chen, were you talking about her just now?

What did you say?

When the students in the audience heard Ji Chen's answer, the familiar feeling of being abused at the school anniversary party suddenly came to their minds.

"What the hell, what's going on with this damn familiar feeling?"

"Oh my god, I have a bad feeling. Is it too late to escape now?"

"I felt something ominous, but I didn't want to run away. My curiosity was even piqued. What did Ji Chen's girlfriend say?"

"Yeah, what did the Queen say? As the future concubine, I must listen carefully (? ? ?ω? ? ?)?"

"Me too!"

…

Although Liu Zhijun noticed that Ji Chen didn't seem to be looking at him, his curiosity was aroused at this moment. He automatically ignored these small details and asked, "What did she say?"

Although Xie Jinglan didn't say anything, she was very curious about what Ji Chen's girlfriend said that he actually incorporated into the painting.

Ji Chen looked deeply at Bai Lianwan sitting in the seat and said with a smile, "Because she said that what she wants is a relationship of absolute loyalty to the other person, and that's what I want too."

"Although sparrows are common, they are more loyal than any other bird and only have one mate throughout their lives. So, when I painted the sparrows on the winter willow, I expressed my feelings through the painting..."

On stage...

Their eyes met in the air, and Ji Chen's sincere and unique voice faintly hit Bai Lianwan's eardrums. She could feel those affectionate, gentle and determined eyes, and her heart felt an indescribable throbbing, and all her emotions were rushing towards that person.

She couldn't describe how touched and satisfied she was at that moment.

She even wanted to rush over immediately, give a big kiss and hug to this guy who moved her so much, but she couldn't do that. She could only bite her lip secretly to keep what was left of her sanity, so as not to lose control and do anything impulsive.

And Ji Chen also wanted to hug this little girl, but he had to stay rational. Compared to a brief hug at this moment, he wanted to get everyone's blessings and wanted to hug her at any time in the future without any barriers, so he must not be impulsive.

Xie Jinglan, Liu Zhijun and others were even more shocked by what Ji Chen had just said!

They looked at Ji Chen in disbelief, and even couldn't believe that the words just now came from Ji Chen's mouth.

They even found it hard to imagine how seriously these two young children were taking their relationship and making promises to each other.

Xie Jinglan could also be sure that Ji Chen was taking the relationship between him and his girlfriend with an absolutely serious attitude.

His girlfriend is indeed very lucky to have met such an outstanding and loyal boy.

The students below the stage also reacted. Sure enough, it was another familiar bowl of dog food!

"Today, my heart was broken again, and I also ate a big bowl of dog food! Wuuwuwu..."

"I'm also heartbroken. Why isn't I the heroine? 嘤嘤嘤..."

"I didn't expect to lose the chance to become a concubine, and have to swallow such a large amount of dog food with tears..."

"Although I've been fed another mouthful of dog food, I have to admit that this view of love is pretty damn amazing! I've decided to fill up my fish pond and only keep one fish from now on!"

"Brother, wake up, there are no fish in your pond!"
