Maybe I can't have a normal youth

Chapter 25 What happened in the office

"Si Li." Zhao Bai'an followed them to Teacher Fang's personal office, and the door closed with a slam.

What caught my eye was a certificate hanging on the wall facing the door——No.30 Second "Aisongli" Award, Lifetime Achievement Award "Love", signed by Fang Zhihua.

Wow, isn't this one of the best awards in the art world?It's like the Grammy of the film industry and the Pulitzer of the journalism!An Ai Songli plus a Lifetime Achievement Award, there are very few contemporary artists with such honors.

Zhao Bai'an, who loves art, knows a lot about this award. She was lucky enough to go to an exhibition of "Ai Songli".The grand prize is not a thin piece of paper, but a trophy that looks like glass... no, crystal.The surface is smooth and the inside is frosted, full of artistic atmosphere.

Sure enough, Aisongli is extraordinary!

Besides, this competition is only held once every three years. I didn't expect this teacher Fang to be so powerful at such a young age!

In addition to the crystal certificate inlaid on the wall, there are also many trophies on the bookshelf next to the table in the room. It seems that Teacher Fang has won many other art awards.

"Oh, you're still too reserved." Teacher Fang walked behind the desk and sat down on the leather teaching chair. Si Li hugged the drawing board, bit her lower lip, and stood by the door with her head down, "Come on, sit down." Here." Teacher Fang pointed to a small wooden stool in front of the table.

After Si Li sat down, Teacher Fang raised her legs, which was very different from the one in the classroom.He waved at Sili and said, "Hey, why are you still holding that broken painting! Didn't I tell you that it's completely useless and you need to repaint it!"

Teacher Fang shook his hand impatiently, "Come here, give it to me." He waved at Si Li again.

Si Li still curled up and sat on the wooden bench.

"I asked you to give it to me!" Teacher Fang's voice suddenly increased, and he shouted at Si Li, "Give it to me!"

Si Li shook violently, let go of her hand holding the drawing board tightly, hesitated for a while, and finally handed the drawing board to Teacher Fang's outstretched hand.

"Hey~ You're so good. Isn't it?" Teacher Fang's tone finally softened again.

Teacher Fang turned the drawing board over and took a look at the oil painting in his hand, only then did Zhao Bai'an get a glimpse of its whole picture.

A girl in Ayton's school uniform stood under the peach blossom tree, and the breeze blew by, pieces of peach blossoms that were white and pink fell, and fell on the girl's hair, shoulders, and bag... Although the whole painting looks still There is no detailed outline, but the scenery is already moving and realistic.The girl in the painting faces the viewer and smiles.

It's just that this smile...

It feels fake and forced.Against the background of this smile, such a beautiful picture looks extremely inconsistent.

The entire painting was randomly smeared with a black marker, and the upper half of the girl's face happened to be completely erased, leaving only a forced smile.

After watching for a long time, cold sweat even oozes from the back.

It's really not a good painting.Even if the surrounding scenery is painted vividly, a few slight discrepancies can instantly collapse the entire beautiful atmosphere.

"It's just such a rubbish work, why do you care so much about it?" With a snap, Teacher Fang threw the drawing board into the trash can beside the table, "You don't want it? I'll do it for you!"

"I said, Si Li, why is it that what I said to you is useless?" Teacher Fang sighed softly, as if she was very helpless.

"How many times have I told you how important this competition is? Why do you seem to be ignoring it? You just show me this..." Teacher Fang pointed to the trash can to search for words excitedly, "Just show me this kind of rubbish? !"

And only Si Li's silence responded to him.

"What do you think? Talk!"

"say!"

"I...you...not you, did you say you want youth and beauty?" Sili opened her mouth with difficulty, her voice was so soft that she could only hear it with breath-holding concentration.

"Yes!" Teacher Fang nodded vigorously, as if realizing that he was a bit too much, "I did always emphasize the need to show youth and be beautiful before."

"After all, you also know that the paintings you gave me before are all unqualified. Devils, black, they are too gloomy. You will definitely not win this award!"

"Yes, I know you have worked hard. I can see it all, but Si Li..." Teacher Fang walked up to Si Li, leaned on the table, and opened her arms, "But it's not enough! It's not hard enough! You have to work harder! You know?"

Si Li just lowered her head, crossed her hands, and rubbed the thumb of her right hand back and forth against the tiger's mouth of her left hand.

"Ah, by the way, I happened to meet that friend of mine when I went to attend the charity gala held on the top floor of the World Financial Center last week. You know, it's the professor from the National Academy of Fine Arts that you like very much."

Hearing this, Si Li finally reacted, stopped rubbing her hands together, and looked up at Teacher Fang.

As if Mr. Fang had achieved his goal, he slightly nodded to Si Li, and smiled upwards from the corner of his mouth, "I mentioned you to her."

"I praised you very much. He said that there is a vacancy this year and he plans to recruit students."

Sili raised her head even higher.

"He seems to be very interested in you. How about I mention it to him a few more times if I have the chance?"

Sili's eyes began to become shiny.

"It's just that you are drawing like this now, so I can't praise you too much, can I? First of all, I have to be satisfied before I can tell the truth to others, right? Don't you think so?"

"Otherwise, my own students are actually not as good as I said. Wouldn't I lose face? I can't say such things against my will. Right, Sally? You wouldn't ask me so much, would you?" ?”

Silly lowered her head again.

"Besides, Si Li." Teacher Fang moved closer, and continued to speak close to Si Li's ear, "Think about your parents, and think about how much they expect of you. If you can reach today's level Didn’t it all depend on my Bole and my three years of careful cultivation?”

"If you fail to meet their expectations, how disappointed they will be! Isn't it, Sili? Are you worthy of their kindness and the kindness of nurturing them for so many years?"

"Two daughters, both go to Ayton. Your parents are just running a small business. You know that they are under a lot of financial pressure when you both go to this high school? Although they don't come when the parent meeting is held, you are You know they are busy earning tuition? Want to give you two a better life."

Sally's lips pursed even tighter.

"But, they often talk to me on the phone. Every time they hear me praise you, they will be very happy." Sili's lips trembled, and her eyes were obviously shaken, "You think, you don't want them to know You're actually not as good as I say you are? You don't want them to be disappointed, do you?"

"En." Sili finally gave a little response, her voice was not as ethereal as before.

"So, you also know how important this is, right? Aisongli this time."

ah!Is it Aisongli's turn this year?

"So, stop drawing such rigid rubbish works. You and I both know that your level is more than that, you are great! I believe you will be able to draw works that satisfy me and make me feel like I just did it three years ago. It was so amazing when I met you."

"I know that I have been under a lot of pressure recently. After all, I am in my third year of high school and I am about to go to school. I am also very wrong. I didn't think about things from your perspective. I may be too demanding of you and push you too hard. But I'm doing this for your own good too!"

"So, try your best when painting the next work, we are running out of time. Don't let me down again, okay?"

Silly nodded slowly but vigorously.

Teacher Fang smiled with satisfaction, patted Si Li on the shoulder, and left the office.
