[Ink Painting Guru: I am soliciting for your expert opinion. I feel very mellow when I paint as of late. Let it be closeup or distant sceneries or portraits and that my characters feel livelier.]
When the others saw her comment, they weren’t sure what to make of it.
How could they not be lively?
They were already using facial wash and facial masks!
Nevertheless, after her words, the group turned their attention from the message of her paintings to her paint strokes.
Sure enough, when they studied it carefully, it was apparent that her techniques had improved!
Her characters were lively.
Her closeups and distant sceneries no longer felt forced and showy like they did before but gave a natural feeling that “they had always been there.”
They were truly superb!
[Huang Chuang: Can we borrow that for our exchange?]
Well, not really.
Gu Shishi wiped her sweat away.
Huang Chuang, having said that, also noticed a not-so-practical issue.
Nevermind that this was created with a specific purpose in mind.
How would they critique an ancient character using facial wash among their otherwise serious scenery, flower, and bird paintings at their ink painting exchange?
Uh.
Huang Chuang immediately recalled his message.
And resent a new one.
[@Ink Painting Guru, there will be an ink painting exhibition in town a week from now. Do you have any current work to exhibit?]
Gu Shishi couldn’t say that she has anything at the moment.
She had done a lot of practice ones but they were all free willed.
[Can we borrow the Picnic with Wife from last time? The exhibition is only for two weekends and your work will be framed in glass. We shall return it in perfect condition.]
Gu Shishi was taken aback a little. She even stopped typing and switched to voice chat.
“President Huang, didn’t I leave the painting with you?”
Huang Chuan, “… No, not really.”
The others at the association, “… … No, that was not the case.”
And that was when Gu Shishi found out that the boss had bought the painting the second she left.
And donated 50 million yuan.
Gu Shishi was so shocked that her paintbrush fell out of her hand.
Prodigal!
That prodigal man!
She could only tell President Huang that she would go and find out.
She really had no idea where the boss had been keeping the painting.
Did he plan on collecting all of her work?
By golly!
How sweet was that~
Gu Shishi immediately threw her hand over her heart.
A second later, she reached out her other hand and covered up the screen on Huajian’s promotional activity.
Prodigal Huo could not see it.
Absolutely not.
Liu Zhichao and the others were destinated to have a sleepless night the night before Double-12.
Gu Shishi, on the other hand, had dragged Huo Sishen into the bedroom uber early that night.
She would not allow the boss to participate in the Double-12 activity.
No way she would allow him to buy all of their own products!
“Let’s go to bed early tonight. You are returning to the office tomorrow, right?”
Huo Sishen looked at the clock and seemed pleased with her rare invitation.
He was very agreeable.
“Mmm.”
Going to bed early translated into laying down in bed early, engaging in activities that they both enjoyed until a certain someone fell asleep out of exhaustion.
He had no problem with that.
Gu Shishi hasn’t yet figured out what was going her when she was pushed down into the bed.
Owing to the bride halo, even though it had been two months, her heartbeat and her breathing still hastened, her cheeks blushed like flower buds. Biting down on her lip, her body trembled slightly. As though a pink mist had started from her delicate toes up, her entire body turned into a pink hue.
Her intention was to distract a certain someone.
So he wouldn’t notice her own shop and to try to beat out the others on orders.
Her goal had, of course, been accomplished.
She was the only thing in his eyes.
Even her cellphone that she had placed next to her pillow had been pushed off by his large hand and rolled onto their Persian rug.
Any word right now would just ruin the mood.
All he wanted to do was to study her carefully.
Enveloped by the hint of sweet rose smell, it gave him the strong urge in possessing it.
Then, without hesitation, to do exactly that.
