Chapter 165 I Want to... Fall in Love...
After returning to the dormitory, Ji Chen cleaned up the desk immediately. Yun Chuan also carefully offered up the four treasures of the study that he hardly used.
"Old Ji, take it easy. This is given to me by my master. If I break it, he might really kick me out."
After all, it was Ji Chen's first time painting, and Yun Chuan was afraid that he would not be careful and make his wolf-hair brush worn out.
Ji Chen spread the rice paper on the table and said with a smile, "Don't worry about this, I know my limits."
When someone on the side heard Fan Zhuo's words, they couldn't help but feel curious, "An Zi, what's your master's name? Why does it sound like he's a master?"
Yun Chuan put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "That's Lin Changsheng, have you heard of him? He's my master."
Yin Hao, who was standing by, looked at Yun Chuan with a flicker of his eyes behind his glasses, and said with some excitement, "That modern Chinese painting master Lin Changsheng?"
Yun Chuan nodded, "Yes, that's the one."
Seeing Yin Hao's excited face, Fan Zhuo asked, "Haozi, why are you reacting so strongly? Is he famous?"
Zhao Ran: "He shouldn't be very famous. If he were a really famous master, how could he accept An Zi as his apprentice?"
Yin Hao pushed his glasses. "No, this is indeed a master. Logically, a painter of Master Lin's caliber wouldn't accept An Zi as his apprentice. After all, An Zi's talent is not ordinary. Unless An Zi is an acquaintance or relative of his."
Yun Chuan: "Um... yes, he is an old friend of my grandfather, so I call him grandpa too."
"Fuck!"
"Old Lin has suffered so much. He must have been irritated by you, Anzi, a lot, right?"
Yun Chuan rolled his eyes at Yin Hao and said, "My art is abstract. You know nothing about art, Haozi! Master will understand me one day!"
Ji Chen put the inkstone away, stood in front of the desk, and said to the others, "Be quiet, I'm about to begin."
After all, painting requires a calm mind, and those who are always in a slump will also be affected.
When they saw Ji Chen's serious attitude, they immediately shut their mouths and looked at each other.
In fact, they didn't believe that Ji Chen could paint any Chinese ink paintings, but they still had to cooperate. Since he could convince people with "reason", they had to give him some face.
After greeting a few people, Ji Chen closed his eyes and fell into a brief contemplation.
Ten seconds later.
Ji Chen opened his eyes.
The wolf-hair brush in his hand has already fallen onto the drawing paper.
The wolf-hair brush draws lines of ink.
He wrote so quickly that it seemed as if he didn't even need to think.
The brush in his hand was like the most sophisticated instrument, and every stroke was perfect.
Start writing with a solid stroke, hold the pen up to write, and release the tip of the pen when finishing, using the pen smoothly.
But in just a few seconds, the outline of the willow tree, with its elegant and graceful appearance, appeared on the rice paper.
The expressions on the faces of Yun Chuan and the others nearby gradually began to change, and they exclaimed in surprise in a low voice.
"Holy crap! It actually looks like that!"
"Holy crap! Old Ji drew this. Is this a willow tree?"
"Oh my god, does Old Ji really know Chinese painting?"
“Not only will it, but it won’t look that simple.”
Ji Chen continued to maintain the speed of his hands, as if he had painted this picture thousands of times.
No need to think, no need to pause, no need to be bound by the size of the structure.
The brush in his hand seemed to be endowed with a soul.
The brush is used sideways to draw tree patterns, and the brushstrokes are flexible and natural, constantly outlining on the rice paper. The willow tree has a charming posture, an old trunk, and long, soft branches that droop and flutter in the wind.
The pair of sparrows perched on the willow branches in the picture are particularly eye-catching!
Although only a few strokes are used, the warmth and vividness of the poem are captured.
The two sparrows are slightly leaning against each other, and the dynamics are captured extremely accurately and vividly.
Everything in the whole picture seems to come alive under his pen.
The expressions on Yun Chuan'an and the others' faces had completely fallen into a daze, and they were completely unable to express the shock in their hearts at the moment with words!
While adding details to the two sparrows, Ji Chen's mouth corners unconsciously raised.
In fact, when he saw that scene today, the first person he thought of was the little girl Bai Lianwan.
And the feeling and state when the two are together.
In particular, when two sparrows snuggled together, the female sparrow stared at the willow branch in a daze, while the male sparrow tilted his head to look at her. His gentle and loving expression was very romantic and artistic.
"Why is it that when I see Old Ji painting, I'm f*cking shocked and given a hundred pounds of dog food?"
"This picture looks like they're showing off their love..."
"Old Ji, that's enough. You can even show off your love for your paintings. I'm going to be fed up with you every day... Although I don't understand painting, I can feel that Old Ji's paintings are really amazing."
Yin Hao pushed his glasses up, his eyes filled with shock and a faint blush on his face. "Indeed, the whole painting is in ink, without any superfluous colors, yet it manages to create a clear and distinct sense of layering. Especially these two sparrows, they are extremely vivid and yet interesting, making me... want to... fall in love..."
Yin Hao said this, but he couldn't help but feel puzzled. "I seem to understand what Old Ji wants to convey. But why is it sparrows instead of mandarin ducks playing in the water?"
At this time, Ji Chen had finished the last stroke and put down the pen.
A painting of sparrows on winter willows was thus completed.
Ji Chen looked at the two little sparrows on the willow tree, then smiled and answered Yin Hao's question, "Although sparrows are a very common bird, they are very loyal and brave animals."
"If its partner dies, it will be extremely sad, miss him so much that it will become sick and die of depression, thus committing suicide for love."
"Although this extreme love wasn't passed down by ancient people or written into poetry, I believe they are the true love birds, even more loyal than mandarin ducks."
"After all, although mandarin ducks playing in the water may look very interesting, they are inseparable only during the mating season. Once this period is over, they will find a new partner. So I prefer sparrows, which better represent loyal love."
Everyone in the dormitory looked at Ji Chen who was talking so much that they completely lost the ability to control their facial expressions and felt their knees go weak!
"Old Ji, what the hell are you not good at? You're a perfect example of a male protagonist in a novel. I'm going to write you as the protagonist of my next novel!"
"Old Ji is so arrogant, but seeing you makes me really want to fall in love..."
"My roommate is actually a hidden master of Chinese painting?" Yun Chuan said, already taking out his phone to take pictures. "I have to take a picture to show my master and cousin, to see what level Old Ji's painting is at. Is it as impressive as that Master Chen he mentioned?"
Yin Hao looked at the picture of winter willow and sparrow on Ji Chen's desk, and fell into deep thought after hearing Ji Chen's words.
If Ji Chen likes this kind of love that is loyal until death, then he would never play with two women at the same time.
So, what went wrong?
