The two chatted and laughed, and after seven hours, the portrait was finally nearing completion.
When Shen Chuan saw the portrait, he was completely shocked.
"Fuck."
This painting was beyond his imagination. If one didn't look closely, it didn't look like a painting at all. Instead, it looked like a print or something developed in a photo studio.
The lifelike expression, the background that is so realistic that it can be mistaken for real, and the gentle smile in the eyes are all perfectly presented on the drawing paper.
The coloring is so perfect that it would be too much if it’s too much, and not enough if it’s too little.
Sun Yulan had been observing him the whole time. Seeing the surprise on his face, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of imperceptible expectation.
"Yu Lan, this is wrong. I asked you to draw a picture for me, not take a picture of me." Chen Chuan pretended to frown and said seriously, "I'll put this picture away for now, and you draw a new one."
Phew~
Sun Yulan couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed softly, saying disdainfully: "You are pretending so false!"
"What's that expression on your face? I'm telling you seriously, I want your hand-painted one, not a photo-printed one."
"Okay, stop pretending. I know you're praising me."
Sun Yulan couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, you've already noticed this. You have amazing eyes." Chen Chuan laughed exaggeratedly. "Yu Lan, this painting is beyond my imagination. Your painting skills are so superb."
He raised his thumbs again and looked at Sun Yulan seriously: "I believe you will become a great painter in the future and be passed down through the ages."
Hearing Chen Chuan's high praise, Sun Yulan couldn't help but feel happy, but she didn't notice the change in Chen Chuan's address.
"You are the first person who has praised my painting since I was a child."
"No way, you draw so well, and I'm the first one to praise you?"
Chen Chuan looked at her in disbelief, and suddenly found that she was forcing a smile, so he immediately changed the subject: "Hey, let's not talk about this. You drew a picture for me, how about I treat you to a meal?"
Sun Yulan looked at the watch on her hand, her expression a little hesitant.
"I'm taking the high-speed train back to Star City at 5:30, and I don't have enough time."
Chen Chuan took out his phone and saw that it was almost four o'clock.
"There's still an hour and a half left. Let's just grab a bite to eat on the street, and then I'll take you to the high-speed rail station. It won't delay anything."
After hesitating for a moment and seeing Chen Chuan's expectant eyes, Sun Yulan agreed.
"Okay, I'm actually a little hungry."
She packed her things and walked ashore with Shen Chuan, walking along the Tuojiang River towards the interior of the ancient city.
As a tourist destination, Fenghuang has countless snacks, including hot and sour noodles, snail noodles, stinky tofu, hot dry noodles, spicy soup, roujiamo, etc. In short, most of the delicacies from all over the world can be found here.
After walking a short distance, the two bought two roujiamo and ate them while walking.
The ancient city was bustling with activity, with countless tourists coming and going. The two of them hid in the crowd, chatting and laughing.
"Ah, you're from that Star City?"
"Why, do you think I'm from the same Star City as you?"
"Yeah, what do you do for a living?"
"I'll just travel around for now, maybe I'll become an investor in the future."
Sun Yulan paused and looked at him timidly: "Which areas should we invest in?"
"It depends on your interests. It doesn't have to make a lot of money. You can invest in interesting projects."
"Are you so rich?"
Chen Chuan looked around with feigned vigilance and whispered, "Keep a low profile."
Sun Yulan couldn't help laughing out loud, her spiritual eyes narrowed slightly, like a clear spring under the moon.
"This is so beautiful." Chen Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
God have mercy on him. This is the first time in his life that he has met such a cute and beautiful girl. It is hard for him not to like her.
"Yu Lan, I'm curious. You have superb painting skills, why do you want to be a teacher?"
Sun Yulan said softly: "Because since my grandparents' generation, most of my relatives are teachers, including my parents, my grandparents, uncles and aunts, all of whom are in the education system."
"That's not bad. With so many relatives and friends in the education system, this path can indeed be considered a bright avenue." Chen Chuan nodded slightly.
Sun Yulan said softly: "Do you think so too?"
"Of course. Every holiday is covered, and winter and summer vacations are complete. Plus, there are welfare benefits and a pension after retirement. Especially since your elders are all in this system, with their help, you will avoid many detours."
At this point, Chen Chuan keenly noticed the change in Sun Yulan's expression and immediately changed his words:
"However, although this path is good, it depends on whether you like it or not. If you can't live according to your own will in this world, it is obviously tragic."
Sun Yulan clasped her hands behind her back, a glimmer of hope flashed in her bright eyes, but then turned into indifference again: "Yes, but how many people can live according to their own will?"
"That's where freedom is so precious,"
The two walked and talked, discussing many topics. Although they only touched upon the subject and did not have an in-depth conversation, they established a certain basic trust between them.
Time flies, and Chen Chuan sent Sun Yulan to the suspended train forty minutes ahead of schedule.
The two of them smiled and waved goodbye, feeling a bit like meeting old friends in a foreign land.
After seeing Sun Yulan off, Chen Chuan returned to Tuojiang B&B and continued his journey. After nightfall, he bought a ticket for a dance performance.
That night, he lay on the bed and watched Douyin videos comfortably, while constantly looking through the wishes under his own works.
The number of comments below the work increased again, and his fan value exceeded one thousand, which made him think of drawing another comment to fulfill the other party's wish.
