Li Shi heard the surprise in his tone and said with a smile: "Brother, calm down, why are you so excited? Besides, we are just traveling."
Excited?
Sun Shouwen was stunned and thought, yes, why am I excited?
Even if Li Shi and the twins were having trouble while traveling, I was still on his side, not his girlfriend's side.
The figure of Chen Qiuye, a stunning woman in the world, flashed in his mind. He reached out and touched his cheek, and said with a smile: "Aren't you worried that your girlfriend will find out and you can't explain it? I tell you, this woman has the smallest heart. Well, if I find out that you are traveling with other girls, I will 100% make trouble with you. When I chatted a lot with other girls at the dinner party, my ex-girlfriend started a cold war with me. A few days..."
Li Shi smiled and changed the subject: "How are you and your ex-girlfriend doing? Can... can we renew our relationship?"
Sun Shouwen shook his head: "A good horse never looks back. The past will eventually pass."
He suddenly remembered something, and looked at the old classmate in front of him with some sigh: "I have to say that you are indeed much more handsome now than when you were in school, and you are also the kind of person with more temperament. It is no wonder that your sexual relationship is getting better and better. Even the little girls Everyone is attracted to you."
"Little girl?"
"Yes, that student of mine has been coming to me to ask about you in the past few days under the guise of introducing someone to her sister."
"That Concubine Zhang Jing?"
"Yes - today's students use their mobile phones to check Weibo, watch videos, and follow TV dramas and variety shows during the holidays. They know everything. Girls also read messy online articles, unlike us..." Sun Shouwen said softly. Shaking his head lightly, "I told her that you had a girlfriend, but she was quite disappointed. Oh, you said, why don't you introduce this child to her teacher?"
Li Shi smiled and said, "Why, do you have a crush on her sister?"
Sun Shouwen shook his head: "What? Her sister is a Ph.D. from Beijing Institute of Technology. Her real talent and good looks coexist. I am a poor teacher, so I don't want to be a toad who wants to eat swan meat."
Li Shi was stunned and looked at this old classmate in surprise: "This is not like you. You were the boss who dared to confess to the senior classmate in person!"
When Sun Shouwen saw Li Shi mentioning the past, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "A good man is not brave anymore. The older he gets, the more he realizes that there are some gaps that cannot be crossed, and no matter how hard he works, he can't cross them."
Li Shi looked at the smile on his face and felt inexplicably sad.
It seems that the cruel reality has dealt a heavy blow to this "monkey", and all his previous sharp edges have been worn away.
After two seconds of silence, he said: "It's not so negative."
Sun Shouwen smiled: "It's better for me to be more pragmatic. My family has contacted a matchmaker and we are going to go on a blind date in a few days."
Li Shi also smiled: "With your conditions, you will definitely be very popular in the blind date market. Maybe it won't be long before I can enjoy your wedding wine."
After a while, the two sisters Ailan and Aiya came back from the bathroom.
The four of them were eating, drinking, and chatting.
Sun Shouwen observed secretly and found that Li Shi and the two sisters seemed to be just ordinary friends. When chatting, they were very polite to each other, and it seemed that they were not beyond the scope of friendship.
only……
It was past four o'clock after dinner.
After they separated, Li Shi and the two girls just got into the car. The phone in his pocket vibrated a few times. He took it out and saw that it was Sun Shouwen who had just separated: "Brother, these two sisters are so good-looking, and with such two A beautiful woman is traveling alone, are you sure you can handle it?"
Li Shi couldn't help but blinked.
There was no reply, so he put away his phone. He glanced at his sister Ailan in the passenger seat and Aiya in the back seat, and said, "You should rest first when you go back. I will paint your portraits in the evening."
Upon hearing that Li Shi was going to paint for them, Aiya immediately said excitedly: "Okay, then I will also use the painting as a WeChat avatar!"
Li Shi knew that the subtext she was talking about was Lu Congwei's girlfriend Zou Die.
He had Zou Die's WeChat account and knew that she had changed her WeChat profile picture to the portrait he had drawn for her.
In fact, many people use portraits to make WeChat avatars, and there is even a business of drawing WeChat avatars on the Internet, but most of them are new or even beginner painters taking these orders.
Back at Tianjiao Mansion, the two sisters took turns going to the bathroom to take a shower, while the remaining sister and Li Shi sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and chatting.
After the two of them finished washing, they went back to the guest bedroom to rest together. Li Shi came to the workbench, took out his tablet computer, and opened a new book - "Beautiful Female Body Sketch" by neon painter Yamamoto Yuzo.
In my childhood, this country was unique in studying the female human body, whether it was movies, photography or painting.
They are particularly good at themes and styles that are highly stimulating to the senses and involve human relations and sex.
And often under the banner of "aesthetic".
"After completing the landscape sketching... and improving my sketching skills to (Proficiency+), I want to hit the realm of (Proficiency-) from the perspective of female portraits."
"(Mastery-) corresponds to the fourth stage of sketch learning: the research stage. At this stage, although drawing 'shapes' are still the main focus, subjective image expression is required."
“So, I had to learn from these painters who were good at expressing female imagery.”
Li Shi studied hard and gradually became immersed in books.
He didn't know how long it took, but it wasn't until Chen Qiuye sent a video call request that he suddenly woke up from the ocean of female art.
After connecting to the video, Chen Qiuye and Wang Yuelan wearing nightgowns immediately appeared on the screen.
"Didn't you work overtime today? Did you arrive at the apartment so early?"
During their stay in the capital, they had been living in an apartment arranged by the company.
After chatting for a while, Chen Qiuye got down to business: "There is no problem with the work and residence permit. By the way, Shitou, do you think we should consider a courtyard house? In the capital, I always feel that living in a courtyard house is the most authentic way..."
Li Shi smiled and said, "I've actually thought about this too."
The two of them discussed the topic of buying a house in the capital, and debated whether to buy a large flat, a villa, or a courtyard house.
Wang Yuelan sat aside and listened quietly. Occasionally she was asked by the two of them, and she would honestly express her thoughts. She mainly considered the kitchen, whether there was a large vegetable market around, and so on.
Finally, Li Shi made the final decision: "It's not urgent. It takes so long to apply for a work and residence permit anyway. Let's consider all three types first. The main thing is to see if we can find a house that is suitable and suitable in all aspects."
We talked about the conversation again before hanging up the video.
Li Shi continued to read.
After a while, something struck him.
"Subjective expression of imagery... is the same as photography. I have to decide on a theme first, and then create this theme from scratch."
After pondering for a moment, Li Shi opened his sixth notebook, picked up his pen, turned to a new page, and began to write:
Concept of the sketch work of Twin Flowers——
Keywords: cute, lively and quiet, next door, tender, sexy...saucy?
Estimated number of works: 5 (2) groups.
…
After Li Shi straightened out his thoughts with a pen, he began to consider the specific themes of the first group of works.
"My first impression of these sisters is that they are from next door and pure."
"The first set of paintings can be regarded as the first time to practice from the level of subjective image expression in the 'research stage'. It can be explored and developed from the characteristics of the model itself, so as to get the first shot."
Li Shi decided on the theme direction and suddenly felt the desire to create.
He looked at the time and saw that the hour hand had just passed eight o'clock in the evening.
Li Shi stood up and came to the door of the guest room where sisters Ailan and Aiya were resting. He reached out and knocked a few times.
After a while, a sleepy girl opened the door: "Brother Shi, what's wrong?"
Li Shi looked at her and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
The girl in front of me, who at first glance could not tell whether she was an older sister or a younger sister, was wearing pink pajamas, the style of a thin sweater, with long hair combed on both sides. Although she was bare-faced, she had delicate features and fair skin, and she looked She is very pure, and she also wears a brown bear hat on her head. It is furry, which immediately makes her look more cute.
Before he could speak, another girl who looked exactly like her stuck out a small head from behind. She wore a pink fox hat on her head. With her eyes wide open and blinking, she asked, "It's already dark. , Brother Shi, what time is it?”
Looking at the two pink girls in front of him, the creative fire in Li Shi's heart seemed to have been poured with two large basins of oil, and suddenly became more intense.
This kind of perfect girl next door is pure and lovely, and she is also a twin sister. She is doubly eye-catching and is so inspiring to create!
He suppressed the urge to get brushes and sketch paper immediately, and said softly: "It's already after eight o'clock in the evening, we can't sleep anymore, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night, and we have to get up early tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, my sister Ailan, who was wearing a bear hat, also woke up: "We have been sleeping for more than three hours. It was so fast. I thought we only slept for a while."
Li Shi and the sisters in pajamas will come to the living room.
Because he wanted to create, he would observe them carefully whenever he had the chance.
I didn't think that I would change to lighter clothes after wearing a thick coat before, but I realized that the two girls are quite flexible and not small. They should have a C.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat now?"
Li Shi asked first, thinking about the reason why he didn't let the customers starve to serve as models for him.
The sisters shook their heads in unison.
Aiya sat on the sofa, yawning, stretching her delicate body casually, and said with a smile: "I was so full from the afternoon meal, and now I'm not hungry at all."
After spending an afternoon together, she felt that she was quite comfortable with Li Shi, and she felt very relaxed.
Li Shi glanced at his sister Ai Lan again, and seeing Ai Lan nodding in approval, he said, "Then let's talk about painting for you first, and then we'll take you to try some local late-night snacks later. How about that?"
"Okay! Brother Shi, do you have any special late-night snacks in your area?"
My younger sister, who was still lively, asked first.
"Yes, in addition to the special spicy barbecue, there is also braised sand turtle with green pepper, which is one of the water fish you often call..."
After chatting about food for a while, Li Shi began to shift the topic to painting.
He stood up, walked to the workbench, came back with a notebook, and said seriously: "I think so, you two sisters are so beautiful that they deserve an in-depth creation for me, so I want to take the opportunity of this trip to give you You draw a series of works."
Seeing that Li Shi suddenly became so serious, the two sisters couldn't help but sit up straight.
"You have said that you like the painting I painted for Zou Die very much. In fact, the painting was created in a hurry, and my level at that time was not as good as it is now, so in my opinion, the painting is not special. Okay, this time, I want to use you two as models to draw better works! My idea is to draw five groups, including the 'sister next door', 'sexy socialite'...'the bohemian sister', etc. Waiting for the theme.”
"During the creation period, I need to observe you carefully, and I will definitely need to touch your bones just like I did with Zou Die..."
"So, in addition to some physical contact, in order to create the work in my mind, I may also stare at you like a wolf, a lover, a brother, etc., to capture your beauty and charm. The spreading point... will also require you to dress differently... I don’t know if you can accept it.”
From his experience in photography creation, Li Shi likes to explain his ideas clearly to the models. Even if they may not understand what you mean specifically, they can feel your serious attitude and know that you are carrying out the work. Real artistic creation, rather than taking advantage of them.
This is enough.
Seeing that he was holding a notebook and speaking so seriously, Aiya suddenly felt "very academic". Moreover, Li Shi also said that this time he would paint better than Zou Die's painting. She immediately nodded and said it was no problem.
My sister Ailan, on the other hand, was a little confused about one point: "Brother Shi, everything else is fine. It's just that in the theme you just mentioned, the 'bohemian sisters'... what does it mean?"
This theme was actually born out of the original keyword - "Saucy?", but of course he couldn't explain it that way.
Li Shi closed his notebook, looked at her, and said seriously:
"We all learned Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" when we were in high school. The idiom "romantic" comes from this famous work.
"The original text is - Madam's love for you, I look down on you for the rest of my life. Maybe I take her into my arms and realize my words within a room; or I let myself go out because of my entrustment. It means not being bound by worldly etiquette."
"The work I envisioned is to express this spirit of breaking the shackles of the world, being eclectic, broad-minded and bold, and having the courage to live out oneself!"
Ai Lan was stunned for a while after listening to it. She felt that Li Shi's creations were so high-end and deep. She thought to herself, unlike those who are trying to please others and seek fame and fame, this is the real artist.
Seeing that the two sisters were fine, Li Shi continued to communicate with them about the first set of works: The Sister Next Door.
"This set of themes is to show your youthful, beautiful and cute side. I originally thought it would be best to draw two pictures. Now your pajamas look very good, but there is still one outfit missing. I can only look at it tomorrow and can't spare the time. Go to shopping malls or when traveling to see if there are any suitable ethnic costumes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his sister Aiya immediately said: "Brother Shi, can I have a sailor suit?"
Um?
Sailor suit? Why would you bring a sailor uniform when you travel?
Ask for a monthly pass.
