Chapter 151: Fearing that my wife was kidnapped

Next, Xia Qingxi went with Professor Guo to appreciate his paintings, while Principal Guo and Lu Jingqi talked about current affairs and some military matters.

Pu Yue didn't understand painting or military matters, and now she was left out and couldn't get a word in.

But she didn't want to go to the kitchen to help the teacher's wife and Xiaoxiu cook, so she could only sit there awkwardly.

After sitting for a while, she felt really bored, but also very curious. Can Xia Qingxi, who came from the countryside, really understand paintings?

With curiosity and contempt, Pu Yue said to Principal Guo:

"Principal, I heard that Professor Guo's paintings are very vivid and lifelike. I also want to go and appreciate them."

Since she said so, Principal Guo couldn't refuse. Besides, the old man was never stingy in showing his paintings to others. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Then he looked at Lu Jingchen beside him and invited him:

"Jingchen, come with us."

After a while, the three of them arrived outside Professor Guo's studio.

At this moment, Xia Qingying and Professor Guo were standing in front of a newly painted oil painting. The oil painting depicted lotus flowers in the early morning. There was a rising sun, large lotus leaves, a half-opened lotus flower, and dewdrops rolling on the lotus leaves...

The painting looked beautiful and lifelike as a whole, but Xia Qingying always felt that something was missing.

Seeing her thinking about something but not saying it, Professor Guo asked her honestly without any airs:

"Girl, do you think there is something wrong with the painting?"

"It's good overall, but..." Xia Qingying hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry, tell me." Professor Guo encouraged.

At this time, Lu Jingqi and the other two had already walked into the studio and happened to hear the conversation between Professor Guo and Xia Qingqi. Everyone couldn't help but look at Xia Qingqi. Lu Jingqi

and Principal Guo were a little surprised, while Pu Yue had a very disdainful expression on her face.

This girl from the countryside really doesn't know her place. She even dared to question Professor Guo's paintings without considering her own responsibility. Professor Guo is so highly respected. Is it her right to comment on his paintings?

Xia Qingxi did not notice the people behind her. Her eyes were completely attracted by the painting in front of her. At the beginning, she found that although the painting was beautiful, it was missing something. She was afraid that Professor Guo would think that she was showing off her skills in front of an expert, so she did not say much. Now that she saw that he was not angry, she said frankly:

"I think since the sun is painted and there is sunlight, then the lake and dewdrops should also be able to see light."

Lu was surprised that the people had already walked to the front of the painting. Pu Yue listened to Xia Qingxi's words and just found it funny. This country girl really thought she knew painting. She couldn't help but sneered:

"Don't let your imagination run wild. How can you see light on the drawing paper? I think that this painting by Principal Guo is already perfect. If you don't understand, don't make random comments."

"Who said that you can't see light on the drawing paper?" Xia Qingying's face was calm, but her tone was not weak.

Professor Guo was immediately interested when he saw her speak so firmly. The smile on his face was still very elegant. He asked:

"Girl, how do you think this 'light' should be expressed?"

After hearing what Professor Guo said, everyone looked at Xia Qingying at the same time. Lu Jingchen was worried, Principal Guo was curious, and Pu Yue was happy in the misfortune.

Under everyone's gaze, Xia Qingxing did not show any fear at all, and replied softly:

"Just use some white pigment and a few strokes to express it." She said it very easily, as if it was something she could do easily.

Professor Guo was more interested when he heard her say it so simply, and handed the pigment and pen next to her to Xia Qingxing, saying:

"Girl, you try it."

Pu Yue saw Professor Guo handing the pen to Xia Qingxing, and her eyes were full of sarcasm. She thought:

Who can't brag? If she really gets started, she will definitely show her true colors. She didn't believe that Xia Qingxing, a country girl, would really know how to paint.

Pu Yue pretended to remind her with a mocking tone:

"If you can't draw, don't force yourself. If you ruin Professor Guo's painting, it won't be able to be repaired."

"It's okay. This painting is for practice." Professor Guo looked at Xia Qingying kindly, pushed the pen in his hand in front of her, and said encouragingly:

"Don't worry, girl, just draw boldly."

Xia Qingying calmly took the pen handed to her by Professor Guo, and then sat down in front of the drawing board.

Several people stood behind her. Lu Jingxie's eyes unconsciously revealed worry.

He had seen Xia Qingxi's sketches, but he had never seen her oil paintings. He was not worried that she would not paint well and would embarrass him in front of everyone, but he was afraid that she would feel embarrassed. He was also worried that Pu Yue would say something sarcastic and make her unhappy.

Under everyone's gaze, Xia Qingxi confidently dipped her brush into white paint and drew some white dots on the "lake" from near to far, and then blurred the halo on the dots. After finishing the painting, she put down the brush, took the art scraper for mixing paint, dipped it in white paint, and drew a simple "x" symbol on the water droplets.

After finishing the painting, she put down the art scraper and stood up.

Just two strokes and it's done? Pu Yue's lips curled up unconsciously, as if she was waiting for something good to happen. But the next second, she suddenly heard Professor Guo beside her clapping with joy, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Good, good, good! Not bad, not bad."

On the picture, the little white pigment seemed to float on the lake, and the lake surface immediately became sparkling, looking so real, as if light was moving in the water.

And the 'x' on the dewdrops, from a close look, are just two simple white strokes, but from a distance, they become the flashing light on the dewdrops.

Just these two strokes perfectly present the light and shadow in the sun, making people immediately feel the real light on the dewdrops.

Even though Lu Jingchen was an amateur, he could see that the few strokes she added made the whole painting more reasonable and more realistic.

Lu Jingchen couldn't help but look at Xia Qingxi, with surprise and praise in his eyes.

He didn't know how many surprises his wife had.

Pu Yue, who was watching the show, was silent when she saw the painting. She never thought that this country girl could really paint oil paintings, and she couldn't understand why she could see the light after just two simple strokes.

"Girl, your few strokes are simply the finishing touch!" Professor Guo couldn't help but praise her again, and then couldn't help asking:

"Do you have to go to the army with this boy? Is it okay not to go? If you stay in Beicheng, I recommend you to study in university now. You have such a comprehension, it's a pity not to study art."

Lu Jingchen, who was standing by, was shocked to hear what he said, and his body unconsciously leaned in front of Xia Qingli, and quietly blocked her behind him. It was obvious that he was afraid that his wife would be kidnapped.
