Reborn Troops

Master Zhongshan nodded, "That's right. What you need now is not to imitate others, but to find your own street style."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath, picked up the pencil again, and started drawing on the paper.

This time, her brushstrokes were no longer hesitant and the lines became smoother.

She drew a few curved metal pieces, a few irregular circles, and finally dotted the edges of the circles with a few small colored glass beads.

"Teacher, do you think this will work?" Zhou Wanwan raised her head and looked at Master Zhongshan expectantly.

Master Zhongshan looked at the pattern on the paper and nodded slightly. "Not bad, it already has some street style. But you can be bolder."

"Be bolder?" Zhou Wanwan was a little confused.

"Yes." Master Zhongshan walked to the corner of the studio and dug out a few rusty pieces of metal from a pile of old things.

Handing it to Zhou Wanwan, "You can try to incorporate these things into your design."

Zhou Wanwan took the metal sheets and looked at them carefully, and found that there were various lines and marks on them, and some places were even rusted beyond recognition.

She frowned. "These pieces of metal look so old. Can they really be used?"

"Old doesn't mean it has no value." Master Zhongshan said calmly.

“Sometimes, it’s these ‘imperfections’ that can bring out the most unique effects.”

Zhou Wanwan was silent for a while, then nodded, "I understand, teacher. I will try."

She sat back down at the table and began hammering at the pieces of metal with pliers and a hammer.

This time, her movements were no longer hesitant, but full of confidence.

She pieced several metal pieces together to form an irregular shape, then dotted the edges with a few colorful glass beads.

Just as she was about to take the next step, Qianqian suddenly poked her head in from outside the door, "Wanwan, are you still busy? Do you want to take a break?"

Zhou Wanwan raised her head and smiled, "No need, I'll be done soon."

Qianqian came over and saw the metal pieces and glass beads on the table. Her eyes lit up, "Wow, did you make this? It looks so special!"

"Yes, the teacher gave me some advice, which I found very helpful." Zhou Wanwan said with a smile.

Qianqian looked at Master Zhongshan, then looked at Zhou Wanwan, and suddenly laughed, "It seems that your inspiration comes as soon as the teacher comes."

Master Zhongshan smiled slightly and said, "I just gave her some inspiration. The real design still depends on her herself."

Zhou Wanwan nodded. "Teacher is right. I feel my thoughts are much clearer now."

Zhou Wanwan was immersed in her own design when she suddenly heard brisk footsteps coming from the door.

She looked up and saw her brother Zhou Guo standing at the door with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Sister, are you still busy?" Zhou Guo poked his head in, his eyes sweeping over the metal pieces and glass beads on the table, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm still designing." Zhou Wanwan smiled and put down the tools in her hands. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Guo walked into the studio, picked up a piece of metal, and looked at it over and over again. "What are these? They look quite special."

"This is the material my teacher gave me. He asked me to try making some street-style jewelry," Zhou Wanwan explained. "I think it's quite interesting."

Zhou Guo nodded, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "Sister, can you help me design some cool-looking bracelets?

I want to give some friends gifts recently, and I think yours would be really cool. "

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, "Bad-boy style?"

"Yes, it's that kind of rebellious, yet fashionable feeling." Zhou Guo said excitedly, "I think your current design style is quite suitable."

Zhou Wanwan frowned, "Bad-looking style... I haven't tried this style yet."

"It's okay, you can try it." Zhou Guo encouraged, "I believe you can do it."

Zhou Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Master Zhongshan, "Teacher, what do you think?"

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "There is no fixed boundary for design style. You can try different styles and find the one that suits you best."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try."

Zhou Guo clapped his hands happily, "Great! Then I'll wait for you outside. Call me when you're done."

After Zhou Guo left, Zhou Wanwan sat back at the table and began to think about how to combine street style with the cool style.

She picked up a pencil and drew a few rough lines on the paper, trying to capture that rebellious feeling.

Just then, Qianqian came over and saw Zhou Wanwan drawing. She asked curiously, "Wanwan, what are you drawing?"

"I'm trying to design some cool-looking bracelets." Zhou Wanwan replied, "Zhou Guo wants me to make a few for him."

Qianqian's eyes lit up, "Bad-boy style? It sounds interesting."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Yes, but I'm not sure how to design it yet."

Qianqian came over to look at Zhou Wanwan’s sketch, “Well, these lines are a bit too rough, they might look too hard.

Try adding something softer like tassels or a thin chain to balance it out.”

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense. I'll give it a try."

She picked up her pencil again and added some elements of thin chains and tassels to the sketch.

This time, her design looks more balanced, with both a rebellious and stylish feel.

"Teacher, do you think this will work?" Zhou Wanwan raised her head and looked at Master Zhongshan expectantly.

Master Zhongshan looked at the pattern on the paper and nodded slightly.

"Not bad, it already has some of the cool and handsome style. But you can be bolder."

"Be bolder?" Zhou Wanwan was a little confused.

"Yes." Master Zhongshan walked to the corner of the studio and dug out a few pieces of old leather with metal chains and rivets from a pile of old things.

Handing it to Zhou Wanwan, "You can try to incorporate these things into your design."
