Chapter 24: Burning Naked Model?
Chi Yu eventually interrupted Qin Shengtian's conversation.
He didn't say anything, but after checking the glass door, he leaned against the desk, crossed his arms, and watched her leisurely.
The man's gaze was almost tangible, and Xin Mian quickly noticed it. She pursed her lips and awkwardly turned off the light on her phone screen.
The moment I met his gaze, I remembered Qin Shengtian's words in the chat box.
Her ears turned bright red instantly.
But when her gaze fell on the shattered glass door out of the corner of her eye, she composed herself and said, "Chi Yu, thank you for what happened last night..."
Actually, it wasn't just last night; she's been on Wangshui Island for almost two months, and he's helped her a lot with all sorts of things, big and small.
"Thank you?" He stood up straight as if he had heard something amusing, and walked towards her step by step. "Xin Xiaomian, is your 'thank you' just empty words?"
"Huh?" Xin Mian hesitated, "...Then I'll treat you to dinner?"
The man's tall and imposing figure slowly approached, almost enveloping her. She instinctively backed away, but there was a wall behind her, and after a few steps, she had nowhere left to retreat.
The familiar, crisp scent seeped into her nostrils, along with his aggressive, roguish aura, blatantly enveloping her.
Xin Mian suddenly jolted awake and quickly said, "Then... what kind of thank-you gift do you want? Just tell me..."
Chi Yu smiled silently, finally stopping and looking down at her.
He seemed to be enjoying her shy and helpless appearance within his circle of friends.
His malicious intentions were fully revealed.
He paused for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Last time, you drew a portrait of Fat Orange."
Xin Mian looked up blankly, "...Yes."
“Then paint one for me too, as a thank you gift.”
Xinmian: ? ? ?
"That simple?"
That made her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy just now.
"Is it simple?" He bent down, his gaze level with hers, and said, word by word, "You have to paint one that satisfies me."
“No problem,” she nodded confidently.
It wasn't that she was arrogant; since she could support herself with this, she must have confidence in her painting skills.
Xin Mian's previously stiff shoulders relaxed, she smiled with her lips pursed, revealing two small dimples, "I will definitely satisfy you."
Chi Yu stared at the dimples on her lips for a few seconds, then suddenly sat up straight, his Adam's apple bobbing heavily. "I've been busy lately, I'll draw them in a few days."
After saying this, he didn't wait for her reply and turned to leave the room.
Xinmian was left completely bewildered.
Is she busy lately?
They don't seem busy.
——
First floor living room.
Chi Yu took the fully charged phone and went straight out the door.
In Dongpu Lane, the withered branches and leaves have been cleaned up by sanitation workers and nearby neighbors.
But after a night of heavy rain, the stone road was still soaked, with small puddles forming in the gaps between the stones.
Chi Yu, however, seemed completely oblivious, looking down at his phone as he walked.
On the screen was the search engine page he had opened.
The search question is: What are some things to keep in mind when using a human model?
After the webpage link bar finished scrolling, a bunch of answers automatically popped up.
He examined each one carefully, his long, well-defined fingers slowly sliding down.
My gaze finally settled on two words.
[Nude Model]
As if he had seen something unexpected, Chi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, tapped his finger, and the page redirected again.

After making landfall on the coast, the typhoon's central winds gradually weakened, but since Wangshui Island was within the typhoon's typhoon circle, the rain only stopped briefly during the day the following day before starting to fall again.
It was several days later when the rain finally stopped.
The continuous rain dispelled the summer heat. Around 2 PM, Qin Shengtian came to No. 7 Dongpu Lane to find Xin Mian.
"Mianmian, about the part-time job as a children's art teacher that we talked about last time, my relative has given me a reply."
Xin Mian's eyes suddenly lit up. "What do you mean?"
“The principal of Wangshui Island Kindergarten happens to be at the kindergarten today, so we can go and meet her directly.”
Now?
Yes, now.
"Okay, let's go then."
Wangshui Island Kindergarten is also located in a residential area, but it is about a 15-minute drive from Dongpu Lane.
Stepping out of the alley, Qin Shengtian patted her car and said in a particularly boastful tone, "Let's go, get in!"
"Before riding on Brother Yu's heavy motorcycle, let me try out my little electric scooter first."
Xin Mian chuckled, took the helmet from her, and deliberately went along with her words, "Excuse me, little electric scooter driver, can I trust your driving skills?"
Qin Shengtian proudly raised her chin and patted her chest, "Of course! I'm a certified person!"
The two obediently put on their helmets and got on the electric scooter one after the other.
Because it had just rained and the roads were muddy, the journey, which should have taken 15 minutes, ended up taking more than 20 minutes.
When we arrived, the kindergarten gate was closed, but not locked.
Xinmian looked at the brightly colored gate and the graffiti on the walls, and peered through the railing into the room.
It's very large inside. After entering through the main gate, there's a main road with two grassy areas on either side, connecting to the open space in front of the main building.
The exterior walls of the main building are also covered with cute and exquisite graffiti, and they look quite new.
It's just that the typhoon had just passed, and the dead branches and leaves on the grass and open spaces hadn't been completely cleared yet.
"Is Wangshui Island Kindergarten newly built?"
The two entered the door together, and Qin Shengtian turned around and locked the door again before leading her inside.
"Yes, it was expanded on the original site of the old garden the year before last."
After Wangshui Island began to vigorously develop its tourism industry, its annual income increased significantly. With money, many things that it wanted to do but couldn't do before could now be put on the agenda.
The kindergarten was renovated at that time.
A larger venue allows children to be happier and more comfortable when raising the flag, doing exercises, and playing games.
After walking a few steps, a middle-aged woman of medium build came out of the main building and said with a smile.
"Tian Tian, is this the teacher Xiaomian you mentioned?"
"Principal Fang!" Qin Shengtian waved to her cheerfully, and then whispered to Xin Mian, "This is Principal Fang. She's in her fifties. She's been a teacher at Wangshui Island Kindergarten since I was in kindergarten."
Xin Mian nodded slightly and obediently greeted Director Fang, "Hello, Director Fang, I am Xin Mian."
Director Fang smiled and said, "I heard Tian Tian mention you a few days ago. I was planning to meet you last week, but the typhoon disrupted our plans."
The three of them entered the main building together. It was spacious and bright, and the walls were still covered with cartoon graffiti.
Near the entrance, there is a designated area for the class to collect little red flowers. There are several small tables next to it, with colorful toys neatly arranged on them.
It's clear that the newly renovated Wangshui Island Kindergarten embodies everyone's cherished hopes and aspirations.
“Tian Tian sent me your artwork before,” Principal Fang said warmly, leading them on a tour before heading into her office. “To be honest, I never expected to find such a talented artist to be a teacher for the children.”
Xin Mian can make a living by drawing, and most of the work she takes on is children's drawing books, which is a perfect match for the teacher that Principal Fang is looking for.
Upon meeting her today, I found the young woman to be sweet and gentle in appearance, soft-spoken and patient, with excellent skills and a good temperament.
Director Fang couldn't be more satisfied.
Xin Mian smiled shyly, her lips pursed, after being praised so directly.
The communication between the two parties was pleasant. She then asked some more detailed questions, such as the specific number of classes per week, the time and location of the classes, and the number of students in each class.
After everything was confirmed, the tuition fee was quickly settled.
Xinmian only needs to teach three classes a week, corresponding to the small class, middle class and large class respectively, with each class lasting 1 hour, from 4 pm to 5 pm.
This is an interest-based course, and not all children participate. Currently, there are about 10 children in each class.
Xinmian asked detailed questions, and Director Fang answered them all. The communication between the two sides went smoothly, and the matter was settled immediately.
It was only a little past 4 o'clock when I left the kindergarten.
The two did not go straight back; Qin Shengtian drove her electric scooter to the "late" entrance.
Li Ke was still there, but this time he wasn't at the front desk. Instead, he was sitting in front of the computer, playing a game with his teammates.
In the midst of the intense battle, he even had a moment to look up at them, "Sister Tian Tian, Sister Xin Mian, wait a moment, I'll be there after this round..."
Qin Shengtian was used to it and waved her hand, "Isn't Brother Yu in the store?"
Li Ke: "Not here."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Jing-ge from next door isn't in the shop either."
"It seems they went out with Brother Hao."
Qin Shengtian didn't come to see them with any important business. Xin Mian tugged at her sleeve, "Why don't we go back?"
Qin Shengtian seemed to remember something, her eyes lighting up. "Mianmian, let's come to my house for dinner tonight?"
“You haven’t been there yet, which is perfect because my parents have been asking me to take you.”
Xin Mian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Qin Shengtian immediately called her parents, and after finishing the call, she excitedly dragged her out the door.
"Let me take you for a ride on my electric scooter along the coastal road after the rain."
——
At this moment, the gym on Wangshui Island, which had just reopened after the typhoon, was not crowded with people.
In the somewhat empty space, occasional wails and screams echoed.
It came from the innermost boxing ring.
Chi Yu stood shirtless on the boxing ring, his hands clasped in boxing gloves. Sweat dripped from his temples, and his half-wet black hair hung over his forehead.
His exposed muscles bulged, and he stared sharply at his opponent.
Yang Chengjing was dressed similarly, indicating that he had already fought a round. He sat sweating profusely under the boxing ring, watching with schadenfreude as Liu Haoyuan was being beaten one-sidedly on the stage.
"Ah! Brother Yu... no... what have you been doing these past few days?"
"Ouch! Brother Yu, go easy on me..."
"Ah! Yang Chengjing, stop laughing, come and take my place..."
Yang Chengjing laughed, not only ignoring him, but also taking out his phone to record the entire process of Liu Haoyuan being beaten.
A few minutes later, Liu Haoyuan finally couldn't hold on any longer, conceded defeat, and collapsed on the boxing ring, giving up entirely.
"...That's inhuman..."
"Brother Yu, are you crazy...?"
I don't know what triggered it these past few days. My muscles were already quite impressive, and I've been going to the gym every day.
Not satisfied with just working out, he invited the two of them to box.
Is this what you call boxing?
This is called a one-sided beating!
Liu Haoyuan wailed and complained several times, but received no response. He turned his head and realized that Chi Yu had already left the boxing ring and was walking to the locker room when he passed a full-length mirror and stopped.
He stood there, staring intently at himself.
A few seconds later, with an expression of great satisfaction with his own physique, he strode away.
