Chapter 250 Peach Blossom Curse
When Ye Wanxi returned after removing her makeup, Du Yihuan and the others had already filled the picnic blanket.
Gao Min initially planned to stay and accompany Ye Wanxi, but unfortunately, a small problem arose at the company that required her to go back and resolve, so she had to go back with the photography crew first.
"Sister-in-law, sit here, sit here." As soon as Du Yihuan saw Ye Wanxi coming over, she immediately pulled her to sit next to her.
"Sister-in-law, you've been filming commercials all morning, you must be hungry, right? Come and see if there's anything you want to eat. These are all homemade and brought over, they're still warm."
As Du Yihuan spoke, she stuffed something into Ye Wanxi's hand. Zhang Xiaoxiao, sitting opposite them, stared at Ye Wanxi for a long time and said, "So this is what you look like."
Du Yihuan rolled her eyes at her: "What do you mean 'originally looked like this'? My sister-in-law has always looked like this."
Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled sheepishly and said, "I didn't mean anything by it. I was just a little surprised. The elf from before looks like a completely different person now."
Ye Wanxi chuckled and smoothed things over, saying, "You're the one talking! If I hadn't called you, you wouldn't have recognized me either."
"I was startled by those arrows and didn't react for a moment," Du Yihuan said stubbornly, then quickly changed the subject, "What kind of commercial are you filming today, sister-in-law? You even have to dress up as an elf."
"Game advertisement."
"A game ad?" Du Yihuan's eyes lit up slightly. "Which game? Do you play it too? Can we add each other as friends?"
Ye Wanxi mentioned an advertisement name, then thought about her own skill level—so bad that it would take her half a day to kill even a single monster.
He simply replied vaguely, "I don't play games much," and that was the end of it.
"Didn't you say you came here today to sketch and paint? What did you find?"
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, look at that picture over there."
Ye Wanxi looked in the direction Du Yihuan pointed and immediately saw a sizable sketchboard. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a particularly beautiful landscape sketch.
And if you look up, you'll find that the painting is incredibly lifelike and exactly the same as the beautiful scenery before your eyes.
“Caiyi’s landscape paintings are the best in their department, and even the old professors in the department praise her highly.”
"It's really beautifully drawn." Ye Wanxi said, then suddenly asked, "Besides landscapes, can you draw people?"
Wen Caiyi paused for a moment, then nodded shyly: "I can, but I'm not good at it."
"Your sketches have clean lines and steady strokes. Your grasp of form, structure, and shadow is also very precise. The reason you don't draw landscapes but figures is probably because you haven't met someone you want to bring to life on paper yet."
Wen Caiyi blinked, looking at Ye Wanxi with a surprised expression.
Ye Wanxi smiled at her, then suddenly asked a completely unrelated question: "Has anyone been pursuing you lately?"
Wen Caiyi was startled: "I..."
"Or rather, is someone harassing you?"
Du Yihuan and her companion were initially confused by the conversation, but their expressions changed drastically upon hearing the last sentence.
"Caiyi, did that senior Gao go and harass you again? Damn it, is that guy like a leech? I can't shake him off."
Du Yihuan was referring to a senior student named Gao, who was in the same department as Wen Caiyi but a year ahead of her.
Wen Caiyi just passed the postgraduate entrance exam this year, and she was immediately targeted by this senior student.
He sent flowers and gifts to Wen Caiyi every day, but she never accepted them because she didn't like him at all and had rejected him many times.
But this person really has no self-awareness. Despite being rejected so many times, he still wouldn't give up, making it known throughout the school.
This caused some low-class, chauvinistic, jealous women who were already extremely envious of Wen Caiyi's outstanding appearance and painting talent to gossip about her behind her back, saying that she was pretending to be aloof and playing hard to get.
Wen Caiyi is soft-hearted and doesn't know how to fight back when she's bullied.
It was Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was in the same school as her, who heard about this and ran to tell her brother. Her brother then went and gave the senior a good beating, and only then did the matter calm down.
Unexpectedly, less than a month later, someone has made a comeback!
Du Yihuan and Wen Caiyi were both very angry, and Wen Caiyi also felt a little wronged, her eyes suddenly reddening.
She had been well protected by her parents and brother since childhood, and was a complete novice in matters of the heart. She couldn't understand why he would keep pestering her even after she had clearly rejected him.
Ye Wanxi frowned as she looked at the group. "It's best not to go out alone lately, and especially avoid going to secluded and dark corners. Here's a little sign for you, consider it a gift for our first meeting."
Wen Caiyi looked at the delicate little tag handed to her. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of Ye Wanxi's words, she still carefully accepted it and said, "Thank you."
Du Yihuan had heard many of her sister-in-law's legendary stories, and when she heard her say this to Wen Caiyi, her heart skipped a beat.
"Sister-in-law, have you noticed something? Is Caiyi in danger?"
"Her eyes are full of spring, but the Red Phoenix Star has not yet moved, indicating that she has some romantic luck recently. However, this romance is not her true love, but what we often call bad romance. If it were just ordinary bad romance, it would be fine, but this romance of yours has its own branches and contains resentment. If it accumulates over time, it will become evil and may very well bring you bloodshed."
"A bloody disaster?!" Du Yihuan hadn't expected it to be so serious, and Wen Caiyi's face turned pale, completely at a loss.
Only Zhang Xiaoxiao looked completely bewildered: "What good or bad romantic encounters? What bloodshed? Are you fortune tellers? Yihuan, isn't your sister-in-law a celebrity? How come..."
Ye Wanxi cleared her throat and waved her hand modestly, "I am a celebrity, that's true, but this is just a side job, a side job..."
Zhang Xiaoxiao stared blankly: "Side hustle..."
The situation between Du Yihuan and the other person was even more complicated.
"..." That sounds so unreliable.
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't think too much about it and smiled obligingly, saying, "Then can you help me calculate it?"
"Do you think you'll be able to get into your desired special admission program soon?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao had only asked casually, but Ye Wanxi's answer hit the nail on the head, almost making her think that Du Yihuan had colluded with someone beforehand.
But then I thought again, and realized that Du Yihuan wasn't the kind of person who would do something like that.
"Yes, yes, please help me calculate whether I can pass the exam."
"It's all up to human effort." Ye Wanxi neither said yes nor no, but simply took out a small yellow card that was slightly different from the purple card she had just handed to Wen Caiyi.
"This is for you."
Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly took it, her face full of anticipation: "Will I pass the exam if I bring this?"
"...No, it can only improve your concentration, making your learning twice as effective with half the effort."
