This competition is themed around the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. Yun Shudai has learned a bit about it, and the two-month submission period is plenty of time.
Since I don't have any announcements these days, I might as well participate. If I win an award, it would be a good step forward for this year.
In the past few days, she has looked at many illustrations about the 24 solar terms online, but she feels they are too ordinary.
She wanted to try something mythological, like the Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain, to "deify" these things, to see what the god of the Awakening of Insects would be like, and what the god of Grain Rain would be like.
While Yun Shudai was still deep in thought late at night, the phone suddenly rang. Looking down, she saw that it was Bai Muyin calling.
Are you asleep?
"not yet."
"at home?"
"Hmm." Yun Shudai said, glancing at the time, then quickly asked, "Is it noon where you are?"
"Yes, we just finished discussing things this morning. You haven't made any moves for several days."
"ah..."
"Shouldn't a girlfriend contact him frequently?"
"...I figured you must be very busy there and wouldn't want to be bothered."
“I didn’t say that.”
"Oh, how are things going over there?"
"Not bad. We initially expected it to take a month, but now it might be earlier."
"Let me know in advance when you're back, and I'll pick you up from the airport."
Are you home lately?
"Well, since there aren't any good announcements, I'll just stay home and rest. I've been participating in an illustration competition these past few days, and I'm working on the design."
Which organizer?
"From the Kyoto Fine Arts Association."
"come on."
"I will. You keep up the good work while you're working on that project over there."
Okay, good night.
"Bye-Bye."
After chatting with my boyfriend for a few minutes, all the anxiety in my heart vanished instantly. Indeed, the power of love is boundless.
The moment she put down her phone, an idea suddenly popped into her head.
He hurried to the computer and began his frantic typing.
It was already late, but Yun Shudai got inspired and forgot about the time, drawing until the early hours of the morning before stopping. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and she took a nap the next day before returning to her mother's place with her tablet in the afternoon.
She went to her father's study, where she remembered there was a copy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas that she could refer to.
Moreover, my dad's collection has a great atmosphere, which easily inspires me.
"Shushu, why are you back at this time?" Yun Mu had been attending classes at school these past two days, so his schedule was fairly regular. When he got home from get off work, he saw his second daughter hiding at home.
"Dad, I haven't been working lately, so I came back. I happened to be participating in a painting competition and wanted to come to your study to find some inspiration."
"What type of competition does Dad need to guide you?"
Yun Shudai, holding the Classic of Mountains and Seas she found in her father's study, said, "Dad, I want to draw the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, in the mythological style. Look, I'm doing research."
"There are countless myths and legends in our country. Do you want Dad to tell you a few? They're not in the books."
Yun Shudai's eyes lit up, and she quickly put down the book in her hand: "Dad, I'll go make you some tea."
Looking at his daughter's positive and optimistic attitude, Yun Mu felt a surge of joy.
When Yun's mother returned, she saw the father and daughter chatting and laughing while drinking tea in the living room.
"Shushu's back? What are you talking about that makes you so happy?"
"I'm listening to my dad tell me myths, like the Dragon King who brings rain, and the Spring God from the Eastern Bird Kingdom - the Black Bird. I've never heard my dad tell these stories before."
"Your dad likes to collect these little stories. Isn't Dai Dai busy lately?"
"Yes, I participated in a drawing competition."
As Yun Shudai got up to take her mother's bag, she talked to her about the competition.
