Chapter 373 Tilan on the Swing and in the Wind
In the next two days, Tilan was basically accompanied by the maids of the academy, visiting and touring the academy, and occasionally auditing their classes.
"This is a music class, are you all ready?" Standing on the wooden steps, the teacher, who was also wearing a maid outfit, held a baton in one hand and lightly pressed the glasses frame on the bridge of her nose with the other hand.
In fact, there was no need to specifically state that it was a music class, but during this class, a black-haired girl stood in a corner of the classroom and looked at everyone with interest. The teacher was afraid that she didn't understand, so she explained it briefly.
"Ready." The students in the classroom answered. They were now divided into two groups according to gender. The girls were all wearing black and white maid skirts, and the boys were wearing suits and tuxedos. They were separated in an 'A' shape, and each of them held a violin in his hand.
The violin is an instrument that can be played solo or in a group. Under the teacher's command, the students sat on square stools, straightened their waists, and put the violins in place. Then, as the teacher directed, the melodious music sounded. At first, it was as light as the birds in the mountains, with ups and downs and agility. Then the music became soothing, and then the rhythm gradually rose. The grand feeling of many people playing together slowly emerged.
Not only the performance of the instrument, but also the movements of the people were particularly consistent. There was a kind of neat beauty that was very pleasing to the eye and amazing.
After enjoying this music class, Tilan also saw the drama performance class, body shaping class, and gun practice class in the underground shooting range in the academy. It can be said that the campus atmosphere is very different from the previous academies.
The students here seem to know very well that everything they learn now is for their future work and foothold. There is no hesitation or complaint, and they don't think too much about competing with each other. After class, there are occasionally group performances organized by the school, such as a movie that needs a temporary music performance scene, or an ancient palace drama that needs many well-trained palace maids, maids, etc., or elite soldiers in combat, etc.
Students begin to get involved in some practical work during their school years, and then the teacher will help analyze and summarize the problems encountered after the end.
In the afternoon, Tilan sat in the garden of a palace scenic spot in the school. There were white circular corridor columns around it, a grass pool in the middle, and a swing.
Holding the rope of the swing with both hands, sitting on the wooden board and shaking gently, it is inevitable to feel relaxed and happy.
In the garden, there were only two maids besides Tilan. One was holding a white cat in the school and stroking it, and the other was standing not far from Tilan, watching the girl swinging on the swing with a slight smile on her face.
Compared to the 17-year-old Tilan, this maid is a little more mature, about 19 years old. She looks at the girl swinging on the swing like a younger sister. After spending the past two days together, she has indeed found that this girl is easy to get along with, without the arrogance of a big shot as imagined.
Looking at the blue sky in the distance, the girl slightly closed her eyes, feeling the touch of the wind passing through her side, and then slowly opened her eyes, looking at the scenery and flowing clouds in the distance, her figure passing by leisurely.
Just like this, after quietly enjoying this quiet for a while, the swing on which the girl was sitting slowly stopped.
"Are you tired of playing?" The maid standing by came over and helped the girl to stabilize the swing.
"Not really, I just want to stop for a while." Tilan replied a little embarrassedly.
"Sister Lola, do you want to try it?" Tilan jumped off the swing easily and stood on the grass.
"Me?" The other party tilted her cheek slightly, thought for a few seconds, and decided to agree to Tilan's proposal.
"I'll sit for a while, but not too long, otherwise it will have a bad impact." Lola helped Tilan comb her slightly messy hair.
"After all, you are still wearing a maid outfit. It is not in accordance with etiquette to indulge in pleasure like this."
Then she slowly sat down holding the rope of the swing. Tilan helped her push it gently, and then her light pink hair fluttered under the blue sky.
After spending a quiet and leisurely afternoon, Tilan, Mel, and several maids went to the theater in Bronze City to watch new movies at night. Not all movies are immersive, and some are watched directly on the screen. Such movies are more suitable for relaxation.
There is no intense study and competition pressure. Although the atmosphere of this school is closer to society, it is more plain and quiet. Even if they work hard, many people study and exercise quietly. There are rarely situations where they shout loudly or must let everyone know.
"Because this is reality, how can we be full of enthusiasm and passion every day?" Behind the dressing mirror, Laura helped Tilan comb her hair, and then carefully arranged it into a slightly complicated but not too fancy hairstyle, and finally inserted a few gilded hairpins and matched them with a long hairband with small bells. The girl in the mirror showed the brightness of youth and the slightly immature but moving charm.
"It's done, Tilan really has a good foundation, and she looks so moving in any clothes." Laura couldn't help but admire. Although she had seen some stars, she was much more eclipsed by the one in front of her.
"No need to praise every day." Tilan raised her hand and adjusted the hair accessories slightly to make it more comfortable.
Soon, Tilan came out with Mel from the next room. Mel was also wearing a slightly beautiful purple tassel skirt today, and she was holding the gray moon cat in her arms as usual, but compared to two years ago, the gray moon cat is now a circle bigger. It is estimated that in another year, Mel will not be able to hold it every day.
"Where are we going today?" Mel spoke first, a little impatient and expectant.
"We are going to the river bank outside Bronze City. There will be a large-scale sketching event there, and the painters are all students from nearby art schools." Laura explained to the two.
"Great~" Mel happily raised the cat.
Riding the school's hovercraft, the group came to the outside of Bronze City. When they arrived, there were already many people present.
You can see that many people are painting with their drawing boards upright on the hillside where the breeze blows. Occasionally, there are students playing and talking about happy things.
The morning sun shines from one end of the river. It is not fierce, and there is still some coolness like dew in the air.
"Can Laura paint?" Walking on the embankment by the river, Tilan asked curiously.
"Not really, I paint very badly, so I won't show off." It's rare for this seemingly omnipotent maid to say something she is not good at.
"What about Heshia, I seem to have seen you paint in the school, especially when watching ducks swimming by the lake." Mel accidentally revealed the girl's bottom.
"That." Tilan thought that her painting skills were actually the same, and she didn't want to mention it in front of everyone.
"I was just drawing casually."
"In fact, painting doesn't necessarily have to be like the real thing. If you draw with this purpose, it will be too tiring." She made a small excuse for her behavior.
"If you really want to look like reality, you can use a photo. I think painting is actually a re-creation based on the scenery you see and a little bit of your own fantasy."
"It doesn't have to be exactly the same as reality. The emotions expressed in the picture are more touching and important."
"Hershia is so amazing~"
Mel said this catchphrase as usual. It seems that she started to like saying this sentence since the two of them came out together. Especially after the girl occasionally expressed her own feelings, Mel would say this sentence every time. After
so many times, sometimes people would mistakenly think that she was saying something sarcastic, but Heshia knew that this child was just simply expressing her feelings and had no other thoughts.
After spending a long time with Mel, I sometimes wonder if I have been too deeply poisoned by society and think too complicatedly.
At first, Tilan would modestly say that she was not that great, but it felt a bit hypocritical to say too much, and later she simply stopped refutation.
"Yes, Mel is also great." She responded with a smile, trying to catch the child jumping on the grass, but was dodged by Mel.
"No, if I am caught by Heshia, she will definitely touch my head again." Mel ran away with foresight, then put down the gray moon cat in his arms, and the man and the cat played briskly on the grass.
"The child has grown up." Tilan shook her head, and then continued walking on the grass with Laura.
At first, no one paid attention to the few people walking and blowing the wind, until a few painting students accidentally glanced at Tilan by the river, and immediately couldn't take their eyes away.
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it would be a bit monotonous if there were no people. But if there was a perfect figure that met the fantasy in the scenery in front of us, it would be a blessing from heaven for the painters. So many people slightly adjusted the direction of their drawing boards and began to focus on the three people walking by the river not far away.
The long hair like black silk was slightly lifted by the hairband in the morning breeze. The white dress covered the beautiful figure. Behind her was a sparkling river. The golden light of the morning glow sprinkled on the white dress and the river. The edges of the cheeks and the figure were stained with a faint golden halo, which was a kind of beauty beyond reality.
At first, only a few painters did so. Later, more and more people realized and noticed it, so they also changed the theme of their paintings and wanted to record this scene.
In this situation, Tilan thought there were only a few people at first, but she didn't expect that the impact would become bigger and bigger later, and it was too late for her to leave.
If they ran away, most of the painters would probably lose all their efforts. For this reason, Tilan could only pretend not to care and continued to walk by the river until the sun gradually rose, the morning glow dissipated, and the sunlight became stronger. Then she returned to the embankment with the few people accompanying her.
At this time, some people wanted to come over and chat, but they were stopped by several maids guarding the side, so that Tilan could walk into the hovercraft and leave without any hindrance.
Seeing this girl whose name was not yet known leave by car, the painters present could not help but feel very sorry, because they didn't know how many times they could meet such a beautiful person in their lifetime.
Sitting in the car, several maids talked and laughed about the scene they saw just now.
"Heshiya, I don't know, at that time, several people looked at you in a daze, and the pen didn't move at all, and they didn't paint at all."
"There was another one who painted, but he felt dissatisfied anyway, and later changed the canvas more than a dozen times."
"I guess many people will post to find out who Heshiya is."
"Will she be recognized?" One of the maids asked curiously.
"It's hard to say. Although we put light makeup on Heshia and specially selected accessories and dresses of different styles from the past, Miss Heshia is too famous and many people know her."
"If she is recognized, I can only expose myself." Tilan was holding Mel's gray moon cat at the moment, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's not bad, everyone also wants to know what Heshia looks like in her daily life." A maid said that many of her friends are fans of Heshia.
"Heshia is too mysterious. Unlike other singers, she will participate in various activities and many photos will appear."
"Maybe the security of Edes Academy is very good." The girl thought.
Speaking of which, she really needs to show her face recently. After all, she is a singer and a public figure. If she doesn't show up for a long time, it will arouse all kinds of suspicion.
After returning to Five Colors and Seven Wounds Academy, Tilan contacted Edes Academy and discussed with the teacher in charge of external affairs. The academy also suggested that the girl make a short video or share something every 1-2 months to appease fans and followers.
"Unlike other bloggers, Tilan, you don't have to worry about using gimmicks or things that trigger topics to maintain popularity. You just need to simply share some things in your life."
"Because the people who come to see you are not looking for big news, gimmicks, or surprising things. More people are attracted by your singing, deeds, and appearance, and want to know more about you." Professionals explained to this slightly green singer.
"So, the original natural emotions and behaviors are more intimate, and even form a contrasting beauty with the gorgeous you on the stage."
"Got it."
In the next few days, when Tilan was thinking about posting something, the maids in the academy gave various suggestions. Some said to show off in new clothes, some said to travel and shoot, and some said to just edit the video of Tilan swinging on the swing.
Later, after everyone's vote and the girl's own choice, she finally chose to post the video of swinging in the garden that day.
There was no background music or extra stuff. Just the girl sitting on the swing under the blue sky, gently swinging up and down, with a pure beauty that was detached from the world. Perhaps it was also due to her own temperament, which made people easily think of this aspect.
For a full five minutes, without a single second cut, it appeared in the web page window of the Edes Academy's external publicity. Once released, it was quickly broadcast by various media and posted on various social platforms.
Countless people watched this simple video over and over again.
In the video, the girl was swinging back and forth leisurely, and the maid next to her was teasing a kitten. The breeze blew on the grass next to her. Under the bright sky, there was occasionally a slight sound of wind and the creaking sound of the swing rope. The snow-white skirt and hair swayed in the air. In the haze, it seemed to have returned to the simple childhood and the past.
"Although nothing was said, it seems as if everything was said. Perhaps this is the simplest and most unadorned happiness in life."
"I suddenly realized that I might have missed something very happy."
"Tilan is so pretty. I feel much more at ease when I look at this when I sleep at night. I was always anxious before."
"The powerful Tilan flying in the night sky, the student Tilan playing the violin, the white dress Tilan swinging on the swing, the quiet Tilan sleeping, I like them all~" A certain philanthropist replied, and there were tens of thousands of comments, most of which were likes and asking where there were photos of Tilan sleeping.
Three months after the winter competition ended, this girl once again became the hottest topic in the Four Leaf Crystal, overshadowing all kinds of news for a while. The news that Saint Ingo won the award also lost attention immediately, and the peripheral picture albums about this girl sold at a new high on the Star Network. Many people also left messages and petitions on the official website of Edes Academy, hoping that Tilan would publish more commemorative picture albums.
"With such charm, she is indeed a natural singer." Many important figures also expressed their sincere admiration.
