"Sister Lan, let's take a video."
Li Shi now calls Wang Yuelan "chaotic", including Sister Lan, Yuelan, Sister, etc., depending on his mood, and sometimes he calls "sister-in-law", well, most of the time.
He handed his cell phone to Wang Yuelan, discussed how to take pictures, and then asked her to turn on the video function while he walked towards the barbell in the corner.
"Nothing else. Just shoot me from behind. Be careful not to show my face."
The combination of the barbell being played with in Li Shi's hands was so relaxed and freehand. If he hadn't deliberately shown a set of shots of the barbell falling and hitting the mat at the end, it would have felt like playing with movie props.
After returning home, Li Shi sat on the sofa and used his mobile phone to edit out a few scenes showing half of his face. After watching it twice, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it and then sent it to Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan, who was at home, watched the video first, then pulled back the progress bar and calculated the weight based on the barbell plates. The estimated result made his eyes widen.
Immediately sent a message back to Li Shi: "Brother Shi, you are so awesome, you weigh more than 100 kilograms, and you play so easily!"
In the fitness circle, there are many people who can play with a barbell weighing more than 100 kilograms. Wang Yuan himself and his arm wrestling teammates can also play, but he has never seen anyone play so easily and freely like Li Shi. of!
What's more, Li Shi has a well-proportioned figure.
Absolutely amazing!
This suddenly reminded him of a story he had heard before about a migrant worker who shocked the fitness instructor by easily holding a 100 kilogram barbell in the gym.
…
Li Shi got up and came to the master bedroom. He had just changed into his pajamas, and when he heard the sound of water in the bathroom, a vivid picture suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but reveal a mysterious and meaningful smile on his lips.
"We just wash together. It's everyone's responsibility to save water."
He was eager to try, and immediately took steps towards the bathroom.
Li Shilong was walking like a tiger, and he was ready to do a good job... and wash up, but after taking only three steps, the mobile phone placed on the jewelry island in the middle of the cloakroom rang.
He went back and picked it up and saw that the caller ID said "Cheng Feng (Curator)".
Connected.
"Mr. Li, excuse me for disturbing you tonight. It's like this. We have already made arrangements for the paintings you submitted for exhibition. We are calling to discuss the introduction with you."
Because his sketch study has reached the (mastery) level, and now that he has changed his study program, Li Shi is not as active in participating in exchange activities for young painters as before, but he will still complete what he promised to others as scheduled.
Yesterday, Wu Feng sent someone to pick up the paintings. He selected one from among his paintings and asked his assistant Zhang Huijing to hand it over to the visitor.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Feng said again: "Teacher Li, there is an environment where every painter will speak during the exchange event. You can prepare in advance."
"Speech? What do you usually say in this kind of speech?"
This was his first time participating in such an event and he had no experience.
Cheng Fengdao: "You can say anything you want. Many painters will talk about their painting style, or introduce their experience of learning painting, or tell interesting things they encountered while learning painting. If the experiences or interesting things they tell are unique and have not been experienced by other painters, then Often gets a full house.”
"OK, thanks."
After chatting for a few more words, we hung up the phone.
Li Shi leaned against the island platform, looking out the window at the hazy night view of the river, thinking about his speech at the event the day after tomorrow.
"Is it too pretentious to say that I became a monk and reached this level in a short period of time?"
"How about you talk about your own art of painting by touching the bones? Well, it doesn't seem to be good..."
The method of drawing by touching bones may seem ridiculous to many people, especially those who are learning to draw, but have limited skills and are dull and "learn by rote". They may not understand this kind of drawing by touching bones at all. Establishing a perceptual understanding of the human body.
This replaces part of the role of physical anatomy. After all, in these days, there is no place to find an anatomy teacher.
Of course, this method cannot be used by ordinary people.
Firstly, he has a monster physique, keen senses, and amazing sense of touch; secondly, he has accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge of art and body anatomy through early studies; thirdly, it is very expensive.
"Forget it, let's see what others say first, and then we can act on the spot."
After thinking for a while, Li Shi remembered that there was someone waiting for him in the bathroom, the movement inside disappeared, and soon, Wang Yuelan walked out of it after taking a bath.
Li Shi turned around and looked straight at it.
Her hair was still moist, and was not tied with hairpins or hairbands. Instead, it was combed to one side, revealing her delicate profile and ears. The curve of her jaw was perfect, making her look beautiful and charming.
After bathing, she wore a houndstooth pattern and white lace suspender dress on her clean, white and tender body. The clothing looked very high-end, but also very cool. It wrapped her breasts and tied her waist, which especially highlighted her S-curves.
Seeing Li Shi there, Wang Yuelan was stunned for a moment, then walked over with a smile: "Shi...wuwu..."
The word "tou" at the end was not said out after all.
But she soon felt it.
…
In the dead of night, some people like to smoke after-hours cigarettes, but Li Shi is different. He likes to read after-hours books.
Putting Wang Yuelan's lotus-like arms carefully into the quilt, he stood up and came to the study.
Turn on the dedicated study tablet, click on the "Smart Central Primary School" app, find the history textbook for the second grade of junior high school, open it, and start studying.
The third history textbook for junior high school students has begun to study modern history.
Modern history is a history of suffering and struggle.
Li Shi was immersed in learning and unconsciously forgot the time.
He studied from 11:30 to 2:00 in the morning. When he learned "Lesson 5: The Sino-Japanese War and the Great Powers' Carving Up of China", he couldn't help but frown slightly.
He had learned and memorized this historical knowledge when he was in middle school. Although his age and life circumstances were different now, he still felt angry when looking at this period of history.
"These robbers!"
"Especially on small days..."
Li Shi stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at the night outside the window. A few stars could be vaguely seen in the sky.
"You can go abroad next year and choose a small day as your first stop."
He remembered something and suddenly smiled. He turned to the bookcase and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstones for learning Chinese painting line drawing, and placed them on the desk in the middle.
Grind the ink, then pick up a brush, dip it in ink, and start writing a few large characters on the white paper:
In Jiefang's small days, he captured Rimi Ishihara and Yui Aragaki alive.
After he finished writing, he looked at these words and laughed.
He saw this sentence on the Internet. He knew very little about the entertainment industry in his childhood, but Satomi Ishihara and Yui Aragaki still knew about it. After all, they are the two most famous neon girls in the country. A star.
Li Shi has also seen their videos on Douyin and Bilibili. Judging from the videos, they are indeed quite stylish beauties.
Some pictures flashed through my mind, and I suddenly remembered that when I was checking information before, I found that the diamond market in Neon was very good.
"Xiaozi is heavily influenced by Western aesthetics and marketing. Diamonds have always been one of their favorite treasures. At the auction in Xiangjiang, many large diamonds were taken away by buyers from Xiaozi... If you go If so, you can learn about this aspect."
Affected by the rise of artificial diamonds, the status of diamonds in the hearts of young people in China has plummeted. However, in Western countries, as well as countries that are deeply influenced by the West, such as Neon and South Korea, diamonds are still the mainstream gemstone and are the choice for young people to court and get married. first choice.
Especially for colored diamonds larger than one carat, the market price is still very high.
"In fact, you don't need to go abroad to sell diamonds. Buyers at the large-scale auctions in Xiangjiang come from all over the world."
Li Shi thought about it. Now that he has resources in the auction line, and he plans to temporarily shrink his jadeite next year, can he sell colored diamonds to make money from foreigners?
"But don't worry, we'll wait until next year."
Now the deposit has exceeded 100 million. In addition, if Chen Yao's sales agent goes well in a while, there will be a sum of money. Li Shi's desire to make money is far less urgent than before.
He lowered his head to read the words on the white paper. As he looked at it, he suddenly discovered something. He was startled for a moment, then took out his notebook from the desk drawer, opened it, and looked at the writing on it.
"I didn't notice it before, but my handwriting seems to be very beautiful without even realizing it!"
He thought for a while, got up, opened the safe, and took out all the notebooks he had stored in it.
There are five notebooks in total. These are all the "portable notebooks" he has used since he obtained the learning panel and started studying. Each one is full.
Li Shi opened the first one in chronological order.
The first few dozen pages were records of his first project "Chinese". After a few months, looking at the above content, Li Shi's mind seemed to have returned to what he had read at night in a rented house. At that time...but he quickly focused on the handwriting.
"Compared with the latest notebook, the handwriting I write now is indeed much better than the handwriting in the first notebook!"
"The structure of the characters used to be loose, and although it wasn't ugly, it didn't have any sense of beauty at all."
"But the current characters are very comfortable to look at, and they actually have a relaxing beauty!"
Li Shi started from the first notebook and read page by page. After finishing the first notebook, he read the second one... He found that his handwriting did not become better overnight. He could see from these five notebooks It comes out that as time goes by, it naturally becomes better-looking step by step without even realizing it.
"But after I started learning to paint, the speed of improvement accelerated."
Li Shi spread out all five notebooks on the desk, looked at the handwriting on them, and suddenly realized that he had inadvertently improved his calligraphy ability to at least (proficient +), or even (proficient -)!
Because it is generally a gradual process, just like a person's weight. If you increase one or two taels every day, you won't feel it at all. Only when you unknowingly gain ten pounds, will you suddenly realize when you look in the mirror one day that you "suddenly" "Getting so fat!"
“I don’t practice calligraphy specially, but my personal accomplishment, especially my aesthetic accomplishment, is constantly improving with my study and increasing life experience.”
"And words are written every day."
"When I was learning painting, I also relied on my super physical fitness to greatly improve my brush control ability to an extremely high level."
“So, there has been such great progress without realizing it.”
"Speaking of which, you can choose to learn calligraphy first and brush it... No!"
Li Shi focused again on the latest notebook and the calligraphy he had just written.
"The free and beautiful feeling in this word has such a charm. This is not a simple improvement."
"Calligraphy is the same as traditional Chinese painting. What matters is the balance of form and spirit... tsk tsk!"
Li Shi couldn't help but stand up and walked a few steps back and forth in the open space next to the desk.
Then I adjusted my mood, and after meditating, I picked up a pen and wrote eight words on the newly laid white paper: Nebula and God's will, Tao follows nature.
When he was writing, he was just like painting, with the vast nebulae in the background of the learning panel appearing in his mind, and he finished it in one stroke without any hindrance.
The feeling was more comfortable and freer than when he was painting.
As soon as he started writing and reading the words, Li Shi was fascinated.
After a while, the corner of his mouth curled up, and a strong smile bloomed in an instant.
"My hidden talent in calligraphy is definitely much higher than that in painting!"
He felt that his talent in painting was relatively high, otherwise he would not have progressed so quickly when learning to paint.
I used to think that calligraphy talent should be similar to painting, but now it seems wrong.
I have made such progress unknowingly without even choosing to study calligraphy. This talent is probably enough to be described as "monster".
"It's just... I've been writing since I was a kid. Why didn't I realize that I was talented in this area before?"
Li Shi pondered.
After thinking about it, I feel that my talent in calligraphy may be hidden "deeply". Fortunately, I got a learning panel and had a unique experience. I watched "Nebula" repeatedly, which broadened my horizons and chest, and relied on my super strong body. I have a strong ability to control pens, coupled with learning along the way, especially the continuous improvement of aesthetic literacy and traditional literary literacy, this hidden talent can be revealed.
Li Shi rubbed his hands.
To be honest, discovering his devilish calligraphy talent made him more happy and excited than having a savings of over 100 million.
"When you have learned (proficient-) in history, you should quickly choose to learn calligraphy to see if everything is as you thought. If it is, then attack the master..."
Li Shi's eyes shone.
"It will definitely take a while to learn (to master -) history. There is no need to wait. You can learn calligraphy at the same time!"
Li Shi picked up the tablet and started checking various information.
How to learn calligraphy systematically?
How did calligraphers from ancient and modern times learn calligraphy?
…
Late at night, three in the morning.
Li Shi returned to the master bedroom and looked at the curvaceous woman under the quilt. He was still a little excited and couldn't help but step forward and lift the quilt.
Wang Yuelan opened her eyes drowsily, looked at him and asked confusedly: "Shitou, what's wrong? Is it dawn yet?"
"No, but I'm hungry."
When Wang Yuelan heard that her man was hungry, she immediately woke up a lot. She sat up and was about to get out of bed: "Then I'll go to the kitchen to cook. What do you want to eat?"
Li Shi hugged Xiaoman's waist and brought him over.
"It's so late at night, just wash some peaches and eat them."
