"My two guests, your cups are ready. We can move on to the next step. Have you chosen the color?"

The waiter brought over two cups after baking. They had already been shaped and were indeed very good.

Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan took the cups they made and thanked the clerk.

Shen Zhizhu held the paint he had just selected in his hand, shook it, and said with a smile that was known as a happy emotion.

"I've chosen it. I wonder if there's any pink paint or bright yellow. I couldn't find it just now."

The clerk put one hand under her chin, thinking about where the paints were stored in the store. After a while.

"Yes, I'll get it for you right now. The first two customers used it, and there's no refill outside."

The saleslady gave a brief explanation, then looked at Xu Haonan and asked very considerately.

"Is this gentleman looking for anything?"

Xu Haonan shook his head. He had no talent for this. If he just painted casually, it would backfire.

He held several shades of green paint in his hand.

"Thank you. No thanks. I've already picked out what I want to use."

The salesgirl nodded.

"Then you two can find a place to continue, and I'll deliver the paint to you after I get it."

Shen Zhizhu wanted to use the bright yellow pigment to make the stamens. She had some purple-pink in her hand, but the color was a bit bright and she was afraid it would not look good after coloring.

That’s why I wanted to ask if there is any pink paint. It doesn’t matter if there is not, she can try to mix it with other paints.

"Honey, I'm looking forward to your final product, hehe."

Xu Haonan raised his thumb and gave Shen Zhizhu a very determined look.

"Look forward to it!"

He distinguished the colors of the paints, deciding which one to color first.

[It's all green. What is this drawing? Is it a tree or grass?]

The paint Shen Zhizhu got also contained several shades of green, but they were used to paint a few trees.

She became interested and leaned over to get a better look, but Xu Haonan turned his head slightly to block the view with his body.

Xu Haonan freed his hand and pushed Shen Zhizhu's head away, saying in a helpless tone.

"Now that you've seen it, there's no surprise."

Whether he was surprised or not is another matter, but the main thing was that being watched made Xu Haonan feel a lot of pressure.

"Okay, I'll wait."

[Anyway, we can see it today, so it doesn’t matter if we wait a little longer.]

Seeing that Shen Zhizhu gave up the idea of ​​watching, Xu Haonan breathed a sigh of relief.

The shop assistant also brought the paints that Shen Zhizhu needed, and then she started to work on her own creation.

She happily drew the patterns she had thought of in advance on the cup, humming a ballad, looking very happy.

It is a very happy thing to be able to complete handicrafts with people you like, even if you don’t chat much during the process.

Shen Zhizhu first used paint of the same color to draw the outline, and then slowly filled in the color. This way, the edges would not be drawn out due to shaking hands, which would be too ugly.

The drawing process was faster than the previous ones. Xu Haonan drew simpler patterns and did not plan to paint a large area.

Even so, he still spent a lot of time on it, because his hands could be used for work and hunting, but painting, which was a delicate task, was still a bit too difficult for him.

However, once the color is applied, it is difficult to erase. Even if there are flaws, you can only try to repair them, but there is no way to start over.

He gritted his teeth, used all his brain cells, and finally completed his design. When he looked at Shen Zhizhu, he was still drawing.

But it looks like it's almost done. He's completely immersed in it, looking serious, as if he's completing a unique piece of art in the world.

And this piece of art will be given to myself soon.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhizhu felt a sudden throbbing in his heart and felt a kind of plain happiness.

He did not interrupt Shen Zhizhu's creation, but took his own cup first and asked the waitress to help him complete the final process.

By the time he sat back, Shen Zhizhu had just finished.

"My painting is done, what about yours? Let's go find the clerk together."

Shen Zhizhu held the cup carefully to avoid getting the paint on his hands, and shook it slightly in front of Xu Haonan.

When she thought of a tough straight man like Xu Haonan drinking water from such a cute cup she made with pictures all over it, she thought it was so cute and very vivid.

"Huh? Where's your cup?"

She finally found that there was no one around Xu Haonan.

"After I finished the painting, I sent it to the clerk. Since you were so serious about it, I didn't call you."

"I thought I could catch up with you."

Because she knew that Xu Haonan was not good at painting, she thought that if she was a little faster, she could catch up with him and complete the final steps together.

But it doesn’t matter. Shen Zhizhu stood up and handed the cup to the clerk after Xu Haonan.

"What beautiful patterns! Both of your cups have unique shapes. I wonder if we can also make finished products like this in our store and display them in the store?"

"In our store, most of the customers choose semi-finished products and paint them directly. Very few are willing to spend an entire afternoon to make them from the very beginning. Perhaps they will be tempted when they see the beautiful cups you two have made."

The clerk's sincere compliment made Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan very happy. They were not stingy people, and besides, they were not the only ones who knew how to make the cup.

"Of course, whatever you like."

The two of them didn't go back to sit down. It would be done soon anyway, so they just waited at the door, looking at the large and small models on the shelves.

It's true that each one looks great.

Shen Zhizhu couldn't help but think of the small ceramics that he saw on many people's backpacks, mobile phones, and key chains in his previous life.

It will serve as a decoration and will look really good. She pointed her index finger at one of them.

"You can make some very small models, and then leave a small hole on the top, and use them as key chains or something like that. I think there will be a lot of people who like cute things who will buy them."

The clerk's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found the smallest one on the shelf and brought it to Shen Zhizhu.

"Is that so? Then leave some space for drilling?"

The salesgirl could imagine what Shen Zhizhu was talking about and knew this was an opportunity, so she chose the smallest one, wanting to know the approximate size.

Shen Zhizhu thought about it and gestured slightly with his hands.

"It can be smaller, but some people like it a little bigger, and it can be made into brooches. Small ceramic ones will also be very popular."
