Chapter 238 Ji Ye and Nanami Ye

"It's strange, you're not pretending to do anything that will kill us?"

After leaving the house, Natsume Naoki walked through a street with a steady pace and in the same state as usual. He didn't stop until he couldn't see himself from any window in his house, and then he opened his school bag and checked it.

After the zipper was opened, there were neatly six separate volumes. He knew it was "Jockey Zhizu" without picking at it, because it was so familiar. He had read these books hundreds or thousands of times. From the thickness, the paper on the sides,

You can tell which copy is which by looking at its newness and age, etc.

In addition to the separate booklet, there are some necessary items for today, such as brushes for painting, etc., which were all prepared when I decided to sign up after returning home last night.

After all, I am not sure whether I will directly learn skills from Teacher Nanami after signing up, and I am not sure whether these things will be prepared in the painting class or I will pay for it at my own expense.

Even if you don’t need to prepare it yourself, it’s good to take it home and use it as an after-school practice.

At least Natsume Naoki never had the habit of doing all his studies in class, and even more than 70% of his study time was squeezed out of the sponge by himself after class.

Get on the train at Menkagebashi Station, take the Toden Arakawa Line, a famous cherry blossom sightseeing route, and transfer to the Yamanote Line at Otsuka. After about 30 minutes, Naoki Natsume got off at Hamamatsucho.

The bustling scenery is more eye-catching than the single-family villa on the Kanda River. After all, it is close to the commercial mecca near Odaiba. There are more than ten or twenty izakayas nearby.

Not far away to the north is the Imperial Palace, but unfortunately it is obscured by high-rise buildings. To the west, Tokyo Tower stands tall and tall. You can see it no matter which direction you look at it, as long as you lean on the west-facing window.

Hamamatsucho Nishi 1-chome is the address of Mr. Nanami's painting class. In a high-end community, a villa of several hundred square meters is rented as the base for the painting class.

Maybe it’s not a rental, Naoki Natsume thought after coming to the community. The actual person in charge of the tutoring class on the business card is Himeno, a teacher who teaches painting at Tokyo University. He is better at sketching and often brings famous young painters around the world.

I flew to sketch, and I can’t count the places I visited. It is said that I just came back from the Maldives not long ago, and I vowed never to go there again until the Maldives is flooded.

The reason why I think this villa is not for rent may have something to do with Ji Ye.

After Asai gave him the painting class business card, Natsume Naoki checked online and checked the level of the painters on the business card except Mr. Nanami. He found that almost all of these painters were top-notch, but they were good at different fields.

Among them, Jiye, who is in charge of taking the lead, is powerful and really rich, living a life of luxury and luxury.

This reminded him of the school doctor in Qihai. The school doctor in Qihai seemed to enjoy luxury, spending money every day and being lavish.

Inexplicably, he thought of the school doctor. Natsume Naoki suddenly realized a problem. The salary of the school doctor in the university should not be too high. So where did Nanami's school doctor get so much money to squander?

While thinking about it, he explained the situation to the security guard and entered the community.

"Why haven't you arrived yet? There will be new students coming today!"

On the second floor of a villa with a very large area, Himeno was pacing in the bedroom with messy hair.

She was on the phone, deliberately lowering her voice. There were students on the first floor who were practicing painting.

They are said to be students, but in fact they are mostly people from society. Only two of the five or six people are college students. They are art students at Tokyo University. Himeno is their tutor. The rest are people in the art industry who come to study.

, improve your professional skills.

Natsume Naoki guessed correctly, this was not the villa Himeno rented, but her home in Shibuya.

Using your own home as a venue can save a lot of money, and you don't have to worry about commuting. For example, she slept until now and went to the private bathroom to clean herself up while talking on the phone.

"Aren't they learning sketching?" Nanami's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's rare that I don't need to be on duty at school today, so forcing me to get up early would be a bit unsatisfactory."

"But you are the teacher!" Jiye didn't even mention it and he was just getting up. "Originally, I really didn't need you today. The students who came in the morning learned sketching, and in the afternoon they taught board drawing and cover painting. There were very few children who came to learn comics.

...But the new students who are coming today are different, they are here specifically for you."

Himeno thought about the connections from the Amamiya Foundation and felt that this student should not be neglected: "The backstage is very tough, so I have to give him some face."

After a long time, Nanamiye yawned and replied: "Okay, I understand, but I do it for your sake, not for any background or connections."

Jiye breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she would reject this new student who came because of her relationship.

Finally, before hanging up the phone, Ji Ye thought of something and decided to try again: "Xiaoye, are you really not going to teach oil painting? I remember that you were quite good at oil painting before. Why did you suddenly stop painting?"

Nanamiye on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and then replied: "Because I don't want to draw anymore."

"Okay... I know my temper, and no matter how much others try to persuade me on my decisions, it's useless. But if you change your mind at any time, you must tell me." Jiye sighed, and his voice became much softer.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang on the first floor.

"That's it, drive carefully on the road. My students should be here." Ji Ye hung up the phone, ran out of the bedroom, lay down on the railing on the second floor and shouted to the first floor, please wait, and then hurried back

Duwei looked in the mirror and combed his hair to make sure his appearance was not so bad, then he went downstairs.

"Don't watch the excitement, concentrate on painting, I will check on you later." Ji Ye said a few words to the students who were painting death gray plaster and gauze, and then opened the door of the villa.

"Hello, is this a painting training institution?" Natsume Naoki saw that the person who opened the door was a woman. He was stunned at first, but then showed an expression of joy on his face: "My name is Natsume Naoki, and I was introduced to sign up to study.

of!"

"Natsume, I've heard about it, come in and tell me."

Jiye led him into his villa, poured him a glass of water, and the two sat in the living room and talked.

"You are looking for connections from the Amamiya Foundation, right?" Himeno said with a smile: "I also have cooperation with their company. Now that Miss Amamiya has spoken, the matter of signing up is a certainty. All you need to do is

Just explain your simple personal information and study direction to me, and I will formulate a study plan for you."

Natsume Naoki asked: "Then how do I pay the tuition?"

"It's not necessary. Miss Amamiya has already paid your tuition when she said hello. You just need to study with peace of mind."

Himeno's words stunned Natsume Naoki, but if you think about it carefully, it was unexpected and reasonable.

Given the nature and style of the little rich woman, it would be unbelievable not to pay her this amount.

Natsume Naoki silently made a note of this matter in his mind, waiting for an opportunity to exchange money or something else in the future. He cannot owe this favor, he owes too much...

hiss.

If you owe too much, why don't you pledge yourself to me?

It seems like there is no disadvantage.

Putting these things behind for the time being, Natsume Naoki looked at Himeno with a sincere expression.

"Teacher Nanami, I am your fan, and I am here to study this time because of you!"
