From a perspective that Gu Xinghe cannot see.
Lekaya, standing behind him, also closed her left eye, trying to better empathize with his perspective.
With her left hand covering his eyes, Rekaya held Gu Xinghe's hand with her right hand, pressing her thumb against the paintbrush.
"When measuring the proportions, you must first determine the highest point of the plaster statue, and then..."
Rekaya demonstrated directly to Gu Xinghe, following her own instructions.
They were measuring proportions with paintbrushes, and their right arms, both raised straight, were pressed tightly together.
Unlike her own slender and thin arms, her skin was pressed tightly together with his.
Rekaya could almost feel the burgeoning power emanating from the smooth lines of the other's muscles.
She glanced at Gu Xinghe's nape, which was now directly exposed in front of her.
A seemingly readily accessible weakness, and a hidden power waiting to be unleashed beneath the muscles.
This gave Lekaya a sense of contradiction, as if she were both fragile and powerful.
After a moment, she turned her attention back to the painting in front of them.
With just a few strokes, Rekaya took Gu Xinghe's hand and corrected some of the unbalanced proportions in his painting.
At this moment, the painting on the easel in front of him clearly looked more harmonious.
In Gu Xinghe's observation and understanding, Elaine, a teacher at the academy, has always been serious and fair.
Apart from Carol and Lekaya, she treated almost everyone else the same.
However, against this backdrop, Carol and Rekaya's attitudes toward him always seemed somewhat unclear.
Judging from their inner thoughts, Carol and Lecaya are not his followers from a previous life, like Chris and the others.
No, that statement might not be appropriate.
It should be said that, in their minds and memories, the two of them clearly did not know Gu Xinghe before.
The reason they have a special attitude towards themselves is...
Carol, whose inner thoughts matched her words, had told him the reason before he even entered the school—
[He smells so good! I'll stay close to him and take advantage of the opportunity to eat him!]
The natural relaxation and intimacy felt when interacting with Theresa and others was different.
This is the intimate yet dangerous experience when facing Carol and Rekaya.
It often made Gu Xinghe feel like he was dancing on a tightrope, with a sense of excitement and horror.
It was the sharp, rubbing sensation between Carol's teeth as she gently licked his fingers.
It was the profound meaning revealed in the way Rekaya's gaze swept across the back of his neck as she stood behind him, meticulously guiding him in his painting.
However, in any case, perhaps he had glimpsed a corner of his future through the Mirror of Erised.
But the future is not static, and he cannot take everything for granted.
The most important thing is naturally the present moment.
Looking at the painting before him, which was even more vivid and lifelike than before, Gu Xinghe turned his head and smiled at Rekaya.
"Thank you, Lekaya."
"You're welcome."
Lekaya's face was slightly flushed.
Perhaps it wasn't until the guidance ended that she realized she had just been quite "assertive" in instructing others to revise their paintings.
Even when she just got up, she left the teddy bear that she almost always carried with her on her seat.
At this moment, the little bear, who was sitting alone on the chair, was placed by its owner in a position facing Gu Xinghe.
The little bear has a cute and innocent expression on its face.
He stood motionless, staring at the direction where Lekaya and Gu Xinghe were interacting intimately, looking rather lonely.
At this moment, Rekaya seemed to finally remember her teddy bear.
She released Gu Xinghe's hand, which was still gripping the paintbrush, and stepped forward to pick it up, holding it in front of her face to cover her cheeks, which were now flushed.
Meanwhile, Carol looked at Gu Xinghe's painting, which had become even more beautiful with Rekaya's help, and couldn't help but admire it once again.
"Not bad! As expected of my sister, she gave excellent guidance!"
Seeing Carol looking around distractedly, Elaine stepped forward and said.
"Gu Xinghe's drawing is indeed quite good."
"But Carol, you're already looking at others? You haven't even finished your own sketch!"
She tapped Carol's forehead with the tip of her index finger, but Carol, unwilling to comply, began to sway her head in response to the pressure of her finger.
"What? You can only draw so well because of Rekaya's guidance..."
"No, it's because Gu Xinghe's paintings were originally very good..."
Listening to the conversation between the two sisters, Carol and Lekaya, Gu Xinghe also looked towards Carol's painting—
Although the plaster sculpture head used as a model will naturally have different expressions and demeanor when viewed from different angles.
For example, from Gu Xinghe's perspective.
The expression on the statue appears resolute and powerful, and the sharp profile further emphasizes the figure's unwavering character.
From Carol's perspective, she would likely be seeing the person's face directly.
From this angle, the expression on the statue's face appears much softer.
His lips were slightly upturned, as if he were giving a smile of affirmation and encouragement to the front.
But on Carol's canvas, Gu Xinghe only saw—
Avant-garde art with an abstract style that is indeed somewhat difficult for modern humans to understand.
No, at this level, it would be very difficult to save him no matter who gives the guidance, right?
The comments in the live stream at that moment perfectly expressed Gu Xinghe's thoughts.
"Really? But I think Rekaya definitely deserves some credit."
If I had Lekaya's guidance, I'm sure I could draw even better than you!
"Let's have Ms. Elaine be the judge!"
For some reason, the focus suddenly shifted to him. Gu Xinghe looked at Carol, who was about to challenge him.
At this moment, Carol's tone was full of enthusiasm for a life-or-death battle with Gu Xinghe, and she looked at Elaine.
"Okay, sure, I'm quite interested too."
Seeing that Carol was being quite persistent, Elaine readily agreed.
A moment later, looking at the paintings that both of them had created under Rekaya's guidance.
Elaine rested her index finger on her chin, looking thoughtful.
But Gu Xinghe heard that she was thinking more about how to persuade Carol later.
Carol, meanwhile, was holding the rabbit doll by its ears, looking at her expectantly.
"No matter how you look at it, Gu Xinghe's drawing is definitely better!"
Elaine pointed to Gu Xinghe's painting on her left.
"Eh? Eh hey hey!"
But upon hearing Elaine's words, Carol's body slumped in mid-air, her excited expression freezing on her face.
