After the sweet Valentine's Day, the Spring Festival holiday has also come to an end.
Xu Tingchuan was about to start work as usual, and his work after the Spring Festival was exceptionally busy.
Meanwhile, Ni Sitian received good news: the ISBN for her previously written novel has been approved, and it's ready for typesetting and printing.
Everything is proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner, and life is peaceful and peaceful.
On Friday, Ni Sitian went to Wu Miaoshui's painting class as usual.
When she arrived at the other side, it was Jiang Yun who opened the door for her.
Jiang Yun looked at her with a bright smile and wished her a Happy New Year.
Ni Sitian replied with a "Happy New Year," and after entering the house, she asked him, "Where's the teacher?"
"The old man has gone out and will probably be back in a while. I'm waiting for him too," Jiang Yun said with a smile.
Ni Sitian nodded, not taking it to heart. She took off her scarf and hat and hung them on the coat rack in the entryway. Carrying her sketches, she walked to the studio on the second floor as usual.
Jiang Yun glanced at her retreating figure as she went upstairs, her smile immediately vanishing. She narrowed her eyes slightly, then turned and went into the kitchen to make tea.
Ni Sitian began to paint intently in the studio. Wu Miaoshui had assigned homework before the New Year, and although she had finished it long ago, she felt that some parts of the painting were not satisfactory and wanted to make some revisions.
I erased some of the lines with the bread, but when I tried to start over, I hesitated because I hadn't thought of a better way to handle it yet.
“Add more shadow here to create depth and a sense of three-dimensionality.”
Jiang Yun's voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw him carrying tea up and placing it on the low table where she kept her art supplies.
"Thank you." Ni Sitian smiled faintly at him, then turned back and began to make corrections as he had instructed.
His approach may be correct, but her own skills are limited, and the layers she applied were somewhat stiff, resulting in the painting still lacking a sense of three-dimensionality.
She tilted her head and looked at it for a while, then decided to erase it and start over.
A pair of hands reached through her shoulders and neck, grasped her hand holding the pen, and guided her hand to make corrections on the drawing.
"When you draw this side, be lighter, and apply the shadow at an angle like this..." His head was close to hers, and she could clearly feel his breath.
Ni Sitian froze for a moment, then quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
Jiang Yun's hand, having missed its target, awkwardly stopped in front of the easel. He quickly realized what had happened, withdrew his hand, straightened up, scratched his head sheepishly, and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I was just too engrossed in the drawing. When I saw problems with the painting, I couldn't help but want to change it. I'm sorry..."
Ni Sitian felt that she had overreacted just now, shook her head, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'll do it myself, after all, it's homework assigned to me by the teacher."
Jiang Yun nodded. "Then I won't bother you anymore."
He then walked outside.
Ni Sitian watched him close the studio door before turning around and looking back at the canvas.
She felt the warmth of Jiang Yun still lingering on the places her hand had been touched. She frowned and put down her paintbrush.
She simply took out a wet wipe from her bag and carefully wiped her hands, removing his warmth and leaving only the cool sensation of mint. Only then did she stop and throw the wipe into the trash can.
Although she may be overreacting, she felt quite uncomfortable with physical contact from other men.
And she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but Jiang Yun's smile always reminded her of Qin Mubei's sunny and energetic appearance in high school.
Ni Sitian shook her head, clearing her mind of all distractions, and continued working on her drawing.
