Chapter 225 The Beautiful Vase vs. the Stiff and Rough Man (18)
The first stop for the production team was an art exhibition... a scenic spot outside the city where you can fly kites, have a picnic, and camp.
Many young couples like to go there on weekdays because of its beautiful scenery.
More than an hour later.
Everyone was getting sleepy, and finally we arrived at this place.
He Suining got out of the car, raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun, and looked up at the sky. "Wow, the sky is so blue today."
Shen Que stood next to her and looked around. "Huh, why is no one here?"
"The show must have booked the entire venue."
He Suining saw an easel by the lake not far away, a picnic blanket spread out on the ground with lots of food on it, and several kites were also placed there. Clearly, the production team had carefully arranged everything to create a date-like atmosphere.
Su Niannian got out of the car with Shen Tan.
She looked up at Shen Tan, then at the easel by the lake.
With a look of delighted surprise, she exclaimed, "It's an easel! Shen Tan, are you going to paint later?"
Shen Tan is a painter, and a very famous one at that.
However, he was in a car accident a few years ago and hasn't been very active in the art world since. Even on some online platforms like VB, you rarely see him drawing anymore.
Su Niannian looked down at his hand with heartache.
She had searched for some reports online and had also heard him say that he knew Shen Tan had reduced his painting because of the car accident he had suffered years ago, but she didn't know the specifics.
However, this does not mean he cannot draw.
He used to love painting so much, how could he not want to paint anymore?
This must be instinct, right?
“I’ve always loved your paintings.” Su Niannian smiled shyly at him. “When I was little, my family arranged for me to paint, but I couldn’t continue because of the tuition fees. Later, I taught myself, and I even imitated your paintings. Would you like to take a look later?”
Shen Tan's expression was gentle.
He's always like this; no one can see his inner emotions beneath his gentle and refined exterior.
This made Su Niannian very nervous.
Her hands were clasped together, and her large eyes, adorned with exquisite eye makeup, gazed at him expectantly.
Just as she was extremely nervous, feeling fearful that her grades were about to be announced by the teacher.
Shen Tan spoke up, "Sure, I haven't painted in a long time either, let's paint together."
Done.
Shen Tan walked towards the easel with one hand in his pocket.
Su Niannian was overjoyed.
She almost couldn't contain the joy on her face, and covered her face to rub her cheeks.
awesome.
She knew that she had been trying very hard to communicate with Shen Tan these past few days. The two of them weren't completely without topics to talk about, and Shen Tan was very gentle, so he was easy to talk to.
So, while the atmosphere between the two might lack a bit of spark, it doesn't mean they can't have a conversation.
Now, Shen Tan is clearly moved by her.
No wonder people online say that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man.
It now seems to be true.
To be honest, if Shen Tan were to pursue her instead, she wouldn't let him get her so easily.
After all, things that are obtained too quickly are not cherished.
Meng Shile looked at Su Niannian as soon as he got out of the car.
I saw what she said to Shen Tan, and then she chased after Shen Tan.
He sighed in disappointment.
"You haven't given up yet?" Shen Que, who was watching Meng Shile, noticed his expression.
She looked helpless and crossed her arms.
I really don't know what he likes about that innocent, pure woman. Do men just like that kind of gentle and sweet girl?
That’s not right either.
Shen Que looked towards He Suining.
He Suining seemed interested in the easels by the lake and was standing there. Qin Huaichen had been standing in one spot ever since he got out of the car, his eyes following He Suining's retreating figure.
I don't know if he noticed it himself.
Like a stone gazing at its wife.
He Suining isn't the gentle and sweet type, but Qin Huaichen still likes her, doesn't he?
Meng Shile was exposed by Shen Que and gave her an awkward look.
At that moment, I felt a little shameless.
He really liked Su Niannian, but he felt very comfortable with Shen Que. One was a physical attraction, and the other was a relationship-based attraction.
However, Shen Que didn't seem angry.
Meng Shile scratched his head. "Aren't you angry?"
Shen Que shook his head.
angry.
How could she not be angry?
At first, she was genuinely angry, jealous, and furious. She was jealous that Su Niannian could so easily attract Meng Shile's attention, angry that Meng Shile was always led by the nose by Su Niannian, and furious at her own powerlessness.
But when did I stop being angry?
Shen Que looked at He Suining's back; she had already picked up the paint bucket placed beside her, seemingly preparing to paint.
It was probably when He Suining first silenced Su Niannian with her retort.
Or perhaps it's when Su Niannian panics and shouts "I didn't!" to defend herself, only to have her true colors exposed by everyone in the end.
original.
Su Niannian, whom she had always regarded as a formidable rival, was so easily defeated.
That moment.
Shen Que stopped being angry. From then on, when he saw Su Niannian, he treated her like a clown.
As for Meng Shile...
She couldn't take back her feelings for him, but now she felt a deep sense of sympathy for him.
What kind of taste is that?
Even though I know she's a hypocrite, I still foolishly like her.
"I just pity you," Shen Que said helplessly, looking at him. "You like a hypocrite."
Meng Shile instinctively tried to explain.
Su Niannian isn't a pure and innocent person; she just misunderstood for a moment.
This is not.
She hasn't targeted He Suining these past few days.
pity.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Que knew what he wanted to say, and walked towards the kite. "Let's go fly a kite."
Meng Shile followed Shen Que without hesitation.
Why is he so obedient?
He Suining took the paintbrush and clipped the drawing paper together.
She used to enjoy painting, and seeing this easel felt strangely familiar, so she couldn't help but walk over.
As I picked up the paintbrush, memories suddenly flooded back.
It turns out she really can draw.
Furthermore, she admired a painter known as "The Clown," so her painting style became somewhat absurd and bizarre, reflecting the style of "The Clown."
I caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of my eye.
She glanced at it casually.
Su Niannian and Shen Tan were in front of another easel.
She saw herself in it too.
Su Niannian was stunned when she saw He Suining holding a paintbrush and scribbling on a piece of white paper.
She was surprised, "Sui Ning, you can draw too? How come you didn't mention it during the self-introduction? You're too modest."
[Here we go again, with that overly simplistic, self-righteous air.]
[They didn't say anything wrong; He Suining never said she could draw. She's probably just pretending in front of Shen Tan.]
[Ah~ no! I thought she had given up on liking Shen Tan and started liking Qin Huaichen instead.]
[Fight! Fight! ]
[Are you kidding me?! Wouldn't it be better if everyone just got along and lived happily together?]
He Suining didn't even bother to talk to her.
Holding a paintbrush, he immersed himself in his own world.
Su Niannian assumed that her guilty conscience had been exposed and smugly raised the corners of her mouth.
She turned to Shen Tan and said, "Shen Tan, will you teach me to draw?"
"You go first."
Shen Tan walked over to He Suining's side and looked at her without making a sound to disturb her.
Su Niannian was stunned for a moment.
She can draw; she's studied it for a few years, after all.
But the drawing is definitely just average.
She had originally planned to have Shen Tan teach her step by step so that the two of them could develop their relationship, but Shen Tan went to look at He Suining's paintings instead.
She was furious.
I simply put down my paintbrush.
She didn't want to humiliate herself.
"Let me take a look at Sui Ning's painting first."
Su Niannian looked on expectantly, her face beaming with a smile. As time passed, her expression gradually turned to astonishment, followed by disbelief.
He Suining's paintings are not particularly stunning.
She wasn't a naturally gifted artist; she relied entirely on her love and hard work in drawing, as well as her fondness for "clowns."
However, this painting might not look good to a layperson.
It looks really beautiful; at least the absurd and eerie atmosphere is captured.
Su Niannian seemed to be frightened.
They were close to Shen Tan.
Shen Tan glanced at her and moved aside.
Wow~
[A fairy is a fairy indeed! I never expected her to actually be able to draw. It's so beautiful!]
[Only someone with a dark mind would draw such disgusting words, ugh.]
[Haha, some of Su Niannian's "white lotus" fans are so sour they have nowhere else to criticize her, so this is all they can say. According to you, all great painters with bizarre and absurd styles are malicious people.]
[So what if it's a sour grapes? Anyway, a pure, innocent person wouldn't, hehe.]
"Sui Ning, why did you draw such a terrifying picture?"
He Suining had finished and was very satisfied with her painting, so she put down her brush.
Finally, I was in the mood to play with Su Niannian.
just now.
Xiao Hei suddenly sent her some data: "[Sister, the 'clown' you like is actually Shen Tan. His hand injury was indeed caused by a car accident, but it's not so bad that he can't draw. The reason he changed his account is because the car accident was caused by some of his crazy fans.]"
Those crazed fans somehow found out about his private schedule and started chasing his car. He was on vacation with his parents at the time, and because of their reckless pursuit, a car accident occurred…
Shen Tan injured his hand, but his parents died in a car accident. From then on, Shen Tan's personality changed. After announcing his retirement from the entertainment industry, he created a new online account, and even his once sunny style transformed into something absurd and bizarre.
He Suining felt sorry for Shen Tan.
But that doesn't stop her from using him.
It's Su Niannian's fault for being so blind. If you're talking about dating reality shows, fair competition is understandable.
She's made it so obvious that she no longer likes Shen Tan.
Su Niannian, however, was like a human-machine, relentlessly finding fault with her.
Then she can't be blamed for retaliating.
He Suining wasn't angry at all when she heard Su Niannian's words. Instead, she laughed even more happily. "If it looks scary, it means I drew it pretty well. I've always loved drawing. My favorite artist, 'The Clown,' has this style."
I started learning to draw by imitating his style, and after seeing many of his paintings, my own drawings began to take on that style as well.
"So this is ah."
Su Niannian knew that the most famous young painter was Shen Tan, but she really didn't know much about the other people in the art circle.
I thought about it.
I took out my phone and searched, and sure enough, it found the answer.
The painter "Clown" has gained some fame, but compared to Shen Tan, he's worlds apart.
She was very dismissive.
As expected, He Suining is petty, and the person she likes is also petty.
But she certainly couldn't say that.
“This [clown] painting is indeed very good.” Su Niannian praised him first, then suddenly changed the subject and began to sympathize with him. “However, I’ve always felt that art comes from the heart. His paintings are so bizarre, absurd and terrifying, so he must have some twisted side.”
Shen Tan glanced at Su Niannian, said nothing, and his expression remained unchanged.
He Suining agreed with what Su Niannian said.
But after she added a few more of her own insights, the feeling changed. "I think if it's really as I said, I hope someone can save him in the future. People should live in the sunshine. For example, Shen Tan's paintings used to be very sunny. Just one glance at them can make you feel the beauty of life."
"Isn't that right, Shen Tan?"
Shen Tan's eyes suddenly deepened, and he smiled gently at Su Niannian, "Thank you for the compliment."
Su Niannian noticed the change in his attitude, and it was a change for the better.
He was immediately delighted, but blushed and said, "I'm just telling the truth, Brother Shen Tan."
They even started calling him "brother".
You're the kind of person who'd jump at the slightest glance from someone.
sometimes.
He Suining really admires Su Niannian's ability to execute.
[? ]
[So touching. Su Niannian is clearly very gentle, okay? Some people really see everything as dirty.]
[You can fake words, but you can't fake the framing you did that day. Being exposed and still maintaining your image—that's impressive, sis.]
[Shen Tan x Su Niannian, so sweet!]
[Can't we all just leave each other alone? Wouldn't it be fine if Shen Tan and Su Niannian, He Suining and Qin Huaichen were together?]
Yes.
If it were really like what the comments said, wouldn't that be great?
But Su Niannian just wanted to make things difficult for her.
This is not.
No sooner had she finished speaking than she couldn't wait to trip up He Suining, "Suining, do you think what I said is right?"
He Suining and she didn't get along in the first place.
If someone has a slightly short temper, they might even argue with you and say you're wrong, even if you're right.
It's possible that if I control my temper and agree with you, I'll get angry.
No matter how you calculate it, Su Niannian wins.
but.
He Suining really thought she was wrong, because she never thought that people in the dark needed redemption. "Maybe, Miss Su. You're just expressing your opinion, but I think people should save themselves, especially those who are deep in darkness. They understand that kind of pain best, so how could they want to drag others down with them?"
Those who live under the sun, in particular, should let this warmth continue.
Instead of dragging down warm-hearted people to keep you company.
That's right.
[Sister is right, let's applaud.]
[This reveals their personalities. Su Niannian is the kind of person who would risk her life to save someone, while He Suining is more rational.]
Su Niannian was taken aback by her words.
For a moment, I didn't know how to refute it.
Shen Tan's deep black eyes fell on He Suining, his face full of smiles, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"Okay."
He Suining suddenly saw Qin Huaichen walking towards them.
She didn't have time to play with these people.
I'm going to go play with other people now.
"I've finished my drawing, I'm going to go play with other people now. Goodbye, have fun!"
He Suining bypassed Shen Tan and ran happily towards Qin Huaichen, "Brother, look! I drew a picture."
