Chapter 80: The Night Intoxicated by the Spring Breeze
Zhang Jiaqi has not exposed Gu Caiwei to Gu Changge for the time being.
She was not so unfaithful, but she still forced Gu Caiwei to promise her that she would "never let Lin Yi take any advantage."
At night, Gu Changge found that his daughter had opened the door of a room that he had not entered for a long time, so he followed him curiously and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Why did you suddenly think of coming to the studio?" When she opened the door and came in, she saw that Gu Caiwei had already set up the easel and was about to start painting after a long absence.
After entering the junior high school, her studies became arduous, and my daughter rarely wrote.
Because I also have a job with the choir, I often go to the piano room. However, I don’t have to practice next semester. There are no rehearsals or performances in the third year of high school.
Everything makes way for the college entrance examination.
"It just... suddenly occurred to me."
After laying the paper, Gu Caiwei found that something seemed to be missing. She looked around: "Mom, is there a mirror at home?"
"What kind of mirror do you want?"
"It's a floor-to-ceiling mirror. I have to look at myself to draw easily."
Gu Changge thought for a moment: "I'll move it over for you. Just don't move it. The mirror is easy to fall."
After a while, the mirror was in place, and Gu Caiwei began to write.
Her hands are a little raw, she hasn't painted for a long time.
Gu Changge leaned against the door and looked at his daughter's serious look, and then remembered that when she was a child, she learned to paint and made a mess in the room, with paint everywhere.
"I asked you to study with Teacher Yan when you were a child. I originally thought that if you were interested, you would go directly to the Academy of Fine Arts in the future, which happened to be in Lin'an."
Teacher Yan was Gu Caiwei’s guide in learning painting, and she herself taught at the Academy of Fine Arts.
This was the path Gu Changge had envisioned for his daughter in the past.
"Hehe, I'm not good at painting. Singing is more interesting." Gu Caiwei stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
You're not famous for singing either.
However, Gu Changge didn't say this. His daughter couldn't hit her all the time, as it would affect her self-confidence.
The past is past, you have to look forward in life. Gu Changge talked about his plans:
"Xiaowei, next semester is the senior year of high school. In fact, the school no longer teaches new things. They are all reviewing. Your choir rehearsals will also be stopped."
"I think, I will discuss it with Teacher Zhao. You will not go to school next semester. You can go directly to the study abroad training class? You are far behind the schedule now."
Gu Caiwei drew a line crookedly, paused, stood up and said angrily:
"There's still a long time left in this semester, let's talk about it later. Mom, you're affecting my painting just by standing here, so hurry up and get out."
While acting coquettishly, she pushed her mother out with the hand holding the paintbrush.
Of course Gu Changge didn't resist, but it was a bit funny. As he walked out, he thought that his daughter still hadn't grown up.
…
"Son, I wish you a happy birthday in advance!"
Lin Yi's birthday is on a Monday, so Ms. Yu Xiujuan celebrated him in advance before he returned to school on Sunday.
She cooked a large table of dishes, all of which were Lin Yi's favorites. Then she took out a small cake that had been ordered long ago from the refrigerator, turned off the lights and asked Lin Yi to make a wish and blow out the candles.
The sense of ceremony is quite good.
In fact, Lin Yi didn't like this kind of thick cream cake, but he still ate a small piece to save his dignity, otherwise he would be criticized again.
After I went to college, I spent every year with my friends and never celebrated my birthday with my parents again. Today I can make up for this regret.
After having a full stomach, Lin Yi finally boarded the bus back to school.
"Lin Yi, come out for a moment."
During the second period of evening self-study, Gu Caiwei showed up on time as expected, with her hands behind her back as if she was hiding something.
She was dressed carefully today, wearing a checkered Mori girl-style long skirt with a thin rope to tie her waist.
It goes well with this warm spring night.
Although no hints were given before, Lin Yi knew that Gu Caiwei would not be completely silent.
Well, that's how confident you are.
He stood up and followed Gu Caiwei out of the classroom from the back door, and then asked, "Where are we going?"
In fact, Gu Caiwei had no experience skipping classes during self-study at night. She didn't know where to whisper without being discovered by the teacher on duty.
The answer is no.
Lin Yi did have the experience of skipping late-night self-study, so he knew that teachers on duty were everywhere.
"Let's go to the playground."
Gu Caiwei chose the spot where Lu Bowen confessed his love last time.
Lin Yiyi nodded. The playground is a good place. Although it is easy to be discovered in the open space, it is also easy to run away.
"Here we go, take it out."
Lin Yi spoke first and pointed behind her.
Gu Caiwei was very dissatisfied with his dull tone, as if she had no sense of expectation at all, but she still took out a small painting tube with her backhand.
Of course, Miss Gu would not act like Lin Yi, so shabby as to shock Zhang Jiaqi. This painting tube is quite exquisite and was carefully selected.
Lin Yi was actually quite looking forward to it. After he opened it, he pulled out a piece of drawing paper that was about the size of A3.
"How was it?" Gu Caiwei asked impatiently. Her expression was like a classmate who had just finished answering questions in class and was waiting for the teacher's praise.
"The light is too dark, I can't see clearly." Lin Yi smiled bitterly. They were not so arrogant as to stand under the big light of the rostrum.
"What..." Gu Caiwei muttered, then took out her apple and turned on the flashlight function, giving Lin Yi a clear picture.
I feel like a maid, she thought angrily.
Lin Yi saw it clearly this time.
The painting is not big or complicated. It is a cute cartoon girl sitting on a huge lotus leaf.
The lively eyes, slender figure, light posture and slightly floating skirt all record the artist's personal demeanor and expression.
"Quite good looking."
Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction. It wasn't that he didn't want to comment more, it was just that this layman couldn't understand the techniques and brushstrokes.
“Which is more beautiful, the painting or the person?”
Gu Caiwei originally wanted to ask this question, but immediately realized that she was acting coquettishly and stopped herself before she could say anything.
Lin Yi didn't know what she was about to say but stopped, so he asked himself: "Why did you give me a birthday gift today, even though it's tomorrow?"
"What do you mean, who else is celebrating your birthday today?" Xiao Gu turned the radar on his head to full power and immediately discovered the key point.
I don't want to be like everyone else.
"Oh my god." Lin Yi thought her reaction was inexplicable.
That's pretty much it.
In fact, classmate Gu Caiwei was overly worried. Apart from the fact that she took Lin Yi's birthday to heart, other people in the school, including her roommates, might give some "pens, notebooks and other gifts to ordinary classmates."
That's if they remember it.
At most, the other students would casually say "Happy Birthday" when they heard it in the classroom.
What, old bear?
If he could buy him a lunch in the cafeteria, Lin Yi would be regarded as someone who values friendship and righteousness.
So, why does love make people intoxicated?
Because the feeling of being cherished is really precious.
