There haven't been any announcements these days, so you might as well take part. If you happen to win a prize, it will be a good improvement for this year.
In the past few days, she has seen many illustrations about the 24 solar terms on the Internet, but she feels they are too ordinary.
She wanted to try something with a mythological color, such as Jingzhe and Guyu, and "pseudo-deify" them. She wanted to imagine what the Jingzhe god looked like in her mind, and what Guyu would look like if it turned into a god.
When Yun Shudai was still thinking hard late at night, the phone suddenly rang. She looked down and saw that it was Bai Muyin calling.
"Are you asleep?"
"not yet."
"at home?"
"Yeah." Yun Shudai looked at the time and asked hurriedly, "Is it noon where you are now?"
"Well, we just finished talking about something this morning. You haven't been active for a few days."
"ah"
"As a girlfriend, shouldn't you keep in touch often?"
".I thought you must be very busy there and didn't want others to disturb you."
"I didn't say that."
"Oh, are you doing well over there?"
"Not bad. Previously it was estimated to take a month, but now it may be earlier."
"Then tell me in advance when you come back, and I'll pick you up at the airport."
"Have you been home recently?"
"Well, if there is no good announcement, I will rest at home. I participated in an illustration competition these days and I am thinking about my work."
"Which organizer?"
"From the Kyoto Art Association."
"come on."
"I will. You should also work hard while you discuss the project over there."
"Okay, good night." "Bye."
After chatting with my boyfriend for a few minutes, the anxiety in my heart disappeared overnight. It turns out that the power of love is infinite.
The moment she put down her phone, inspiration suddenly popped into her mind.
He hurried to the computer and started typing like crazy.
It was already very late, but Yun Shudai forgot about time when inspiration struck her, and she painted until the early morning. Fortunately, nothing happened, so she took a nap the next day and returned to her mother's place with her tablet in the afternoon.
She went to her father's study and remembered that there was a copy of Shan Hai Jing in his study that she could use for reference.
Moreover, my father’s collection here is very atmospheric and easy to generate inspiration.
"Shushu, why are you back at this time?" Yun Mu had been attending classes at school at a regular schedule these past two days. When he got home from get off work, he saw his second daughter hiding at home.
"Dad, I've been out of work lately, so I came back. I happened to be participating in a painting competition, so I wanted to come to your study to find some inspiration."
"What type of competition is it? Do you need Dad's guidance?"
Yun Shudai took the Classic of Mountains and Seas she found in her father's study and said, "Dad, I want to draw the 24 solar terms, something mythological. Well, I'm doing research."
"There are countless myths and legends in our country. Do you want Dad to tell you a few? They are 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."
Yun Mu felt relieved when he saw his daughter who was now positive and optimistic.
When Yun's mother came back, she saw the father and daughter drinking tea in the living room, talking and laughing.
"Shushu is back? What are you talking about so happily?"
"I was listening to my father telling me mythological stories, such as the king of the dragon clan who can bring rain, and the spring god from the Eastern Bird Kingdom - Xuanniao. I had never heard my father tell these stories before."
"Your father likes to collect these little stories. Isn't Dai Dai busy lately?"
"Well, I entered a painting competition."
Yun Shudai stood up and took her mother's bag while talking to her about the competition.
