偷窥闺房

After guessing for a long time, there was no result. In the end, this matter passed, replaced by discussions about Lin Qing.

Just as Gu Yuwu had said, Lin Xiaowan did not check her Speaker account. After complaining to Gu Yuwu, she threw this matter to the back of her mind. After returning from the village, she looked at the information regarding the Venus Hope Competition. After confirming the basic requirements, she quickly made a sketch.

When she was done, she quickly asked for Hong Minhua’s opinion.

Lin Xiaowan planned to draw Lin Qing wearing his own design while the background would be his fruit and vegetable garden. She planned to turn the vegetables and fruits into anthropomorphic characters as well.

Hong Minhua did not find any problem with her idea and even gave her a few pointers.

Lin Xiaowan noted Hong Minhua’s pointers down seriously.

Hong Minhua suddenly thought of something and asked, “There’s an art exhibition in two days. 1’11 be busy, but you can go with your Senior Brother Xiao Han to broaden your horizons.”

“Okay,” Lin Xiaowan replied with a nod.

The venue for the art exhibition was a remote exhibition hall. A stone path led to the small entrance, and if one did not pay attention, one would miss it.

After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Xiao Han opened the door for Lin Xiaowan.

The entrance of the art gallery looked deserted, but when they entered, it was a completely different world.

The interior was stylish, and the ceiling was very high.

People gathered in groups of twos and threes, whispering to each other.

The atmosphere was quiet and elegant.

One of the people from the organizing committee with white hair was very enthusiastic after he was introduced to Lin Xiaowan. He asked, “When did Professor Hong accept a new student? Why haven’t I heard of it?”

Lin Xiaowan hurriedly explained, “I’m not a professional. It’s just that my boyfriend has a good relationship with Professor Hong so she’s kind enough to teach me. My skills are only average.”

The other party did not seem to care about this. He laughed heartily and said, “There’s no need to be so modest. Professor Hong doesn’t have many students so I’m just asking out of curiosity.”

After that, the other party added, “Alright, let your senior brother bring you around and introduce you to the others. Your senior brother is a newcomer whom everyone is optimistic about!”

The paintings that were being exhibited were also for sale.

Xiao Han brought Lin Xiaowan around as they discussed the different techniques of each painting and the meaning behind them.

Lin Xiaowan nodded as she listened, looking as though she only half-understood what he said. Her expression was a mixture of awe and confusion. If she had come on her own, she would not have learned so many things.

However, it did not matter if she understood the meaning the artists were trying to convey or not. She found all of the paintings beautiful.

A few of Xiao Han’s paintings were also part of the exhibition. The one they were looking at had a strong sense of conflict. The background seemed to be of a war-torn place, but the subject was a little girl with pigtails sleeping soundly on the lap of a woman, who wore a slight smile and calm expression on her face.

Lin Xiaowan did not understand the painting much. She only felt that it was very impressive.

Xiao Han said, “The most important thing in painting is emotion. If you draw without emotions, even if the final product is beautiful, you’ll find that it can’t touch people’s souls.”

“I’m not trying to brag, but this is the painting that won me an award previously. 1 like it very much. Every time I see it, I feel like I’m the best artist in the world,” Xiao Han said with a laugh.

Lin Xiaowan still did not know how to paint with emotions. Perhaps this was the difference between her and professionals. She would paint based on her inspirations and her likes. Sometimes she liked the things she painted, and sometimes she would throw away the things she painted.

Xiao Han’s other painting that was part of the exhibition depicted a garden. There were many colorful flowers, and the painting looked very lively. In the sky, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds. It was so realistic that it looked as though it was a photo.

Lin Xiaowan could not help but marvel at the painting. She sighed and said sincerely, “You’re really amazing.”

Xiao Han laughed it off and said, “Why are you comparing yourself to me? It’s fine as long as you can surpass yourself. We’re on different paths after all.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded in agreement. She thought his words were reasonable.

When they left, it was a little cloudy.

Lin Xiaowan checked the weather forecast and saw that there was a high chance that it would rain. For this reason, she wanted to go home as soon as possible. She did not like being outside when it rained.

The duo walked along the path in the garden that led to the parking lot. They had just taken a few steps when Lin Xiaowan saw Gu Yuwu.

Gu Yuwu was with a few men and women, and one of them was holding a camera. They seemed to be filming something.

Lin Xiaowan paused in her steps. She was not far from Gu Yuwu, and as long as Gu Yuwu turned slightly, she would be able to see Lin Xiaowan. She was not sure if she should go over and greet Gu Yuwu since Gu Yuwu seemed to be engrossed in filming.

Seeing that Lin Xiaowan had stopped walking, Xiao Han asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Xiaowan shook her head. Before she could reply, Gu Yuwu suddenly turned around and saw her.

Gu Yuwu waved at Lin Xiaowan. Before walking over, she said to the people around her, “I’m going to greet my friend.”

When Gu Yuwu walked over, she looked at Xiao Han for a moment before she asked Lin Xiaowan, “This is…”

Lin Xiaowan said, “This is Teacher Hong’s student. We came to have a look at the art exhibition today.” Then, she asked Gu Yuwu, “What are you doing?”

Lin Xiaowan and Gu Yuwu were standing out of frame at this moment. She saw a few people holding treats in their hands and a cage.

Gu Yuwu replied, “Catching a cat. There’s a stray cat here, and I’m here to join in the fun.”

“Catching a cat? Why are you filming it?”

Gu Yuwu explained, “They’re filming content for their social media accounts. They usually filmed themselves helping strays. That’s what they’re doing today.”

The cat they were trying to catch today was a female stray cat. She had carried her kittens here. This was nothing. The problem was the female cat had somehow crawled into a crack in the cement wall..
