System: Card drawing in progress

When she was in school, boys with good looks and wealthy families were very popular. Is it because she is older and there is a generation gap between her and these kids?

"of course can."

Shi Nianyi took out a new drawing board and a paintbrush from the backpack beside her. As a teacher, she habitually prepared an extra set of painting tools.

"Here, take it and try it to see if it works."

After taking the drawing board and brush, the boy still had a hint of insecurity in his eyes, but he nodded when he met his sister's affirmative eyes.

Following the example of other students, he set up his drawing board and started painting. He also painted the small lake in front of him. With just a few strokes, he outlined the size of the lake.

When I started writing, I felt a little uncertain and nervous, but as I went on, I felt more relaxed and natural.

Shi Nianyi was standing not far behind the boy and naturally saw this scene. There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

The students who were drawing nearby also noticed the situation here, and some of them who were not paying attention were already looking over here secretly.

The student in school uniform who was closest to the boy stretched his head and tried to peek at how the boy was drawing. He succeeded, but the result was a sharp stab in his heart.

I couldn't help but ask:

"No, buddy, is this your first time drawing?"

He lowered his voice, but the area was not large, so the students were not crowded and could hear each other's voices.

Except for a few students who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, everyone else paused with their brushes, pricked up their ears, and felt itchy in their hearts, wanting to see how the good-looking boy painted.

Judging from what Brother Wang said, his painting should be pretty good.

It’s a pity that they were some distance away, and even if they stretched their necks, they couldn’t reach or see it.

The boy glanced at Shi Nianyi behind him, then at the male student, his eyes full of admiration, and answered all his questions:

"No."

Before the students could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard his next words.

"When I'm feeling down, I'll pick up a pen and draw casually, but this is the first time I've done a serious drawing like this."

He felt like vomiting blood, as he thought he had the best talent in the class, but then he was crushed by someone else.

Shi Nianyi chuckled. She did not stop the students from asking questions. Seeing how they were so curious that they couldn't sit still, she knew that if she didn't let them get an answer, they would not be able to sleep at night.

From the way the boy paints, you can tell that he has no basic drawing skills and he just paints based on his emotions.

Suppress these brats and let them know that "there are always people better than you". Don't rely on their little talents and try to be too proud of yourself.

"Ha, now you know there are people out there who are better than you, right?"

She just said one sentence. With so many people watching, she couldn't give a long speech and had to save some face for her students.

Now let's turn the topic to the boy:

"You are not bad at drawing, but your basics are a little weak. A great building starts from the ground, and the basics are very important. If you want to learn systematically, you have to find a teacher to learn from."

A teacher is someone who teaches, teaches and resolves doubts.

She also didn't mind giving a few more pointers, fearing that the boy would waste his talent.

"I...have good talent?"

The boy was very happy with her praise. His gloomy temperament disappeared and he felt a little flattered. However, he hesitated after hearing the following words:

"Learn to draw?"

She pursed her lips, her eyes were already full of excitement, but then she thought of something, and the excitement faded away, leaving only sadness:

"Look again!"

Seeing the sadness in the boy's eyes, Shi Nianyi did not mention the matter again, but smiled and looked at other classmates:

"The time is up. Let the teacher see how the students draw."

Her smile made the other students swallow their saliva quietly. Somehow, Teacher Shi's smile was as gentle as ever, so gentle that it made their scalps tingle and made them a little scared.

He commented on them one by one, his words were sharp and went straight to the heart of the problem. Even though he saved the students' face, he still made them silent. If there was a crack in the ground, he had no doubt that they would come back and crawl into it.

"Is your teacher always like this?"

Brother Wang nodded earnestly:

"As long as it doesn't involve painting, Teacher Shi is still very gentle. I'll give you a piece of advice: never, ever, ever make Teacher Shi angry."

The three "tens of millions" are enough to show how terrible an angry Teacher Shi is in his heart.

"No way?"

Xi Lishen looked at the bookish teacher with a gentle smile and felt a little uncertain.

After exchanging their names, Xi Lishen had lunch with Shi Nianyi and a dozen other students before they went their separate ways.

After they separated, Xi Lishen did not go home, but wandered around until it got darker and fewer and fewer people were wandering around.

A dark city is not necessarily safe, especially in remote areas.

He had no choice but to return home. It was very quiet at home. No one was waiting for him, and no one left a light on for him. The luxuriously decorated house was like a cage that trapped him.

He ate out, but otherwise he would have had to find a way to fill his stomach.

There was no surprise or loss in his eyes. One could even say that he was used to it. After changing his shoes, he prepared to return to his room.

A housekeeper in her forties came out of the room and saw Xi Lishen. She said respectfully:

"Master, the master, the mistress, and the young master went out to eat together. Have you eaten? If not, I will ask someone to cook for you."

"Need not."

Ignoring the new butler's words, he walked straight to his room.

He had heard too many times that people were too respectful and not close enough, and that business was the only thing to do.

Now that she didn't speak, he knew what she was going to say next, and out of upbringing, he didn't interrupt.

After she finished speaking, he refused in one breath.

A professional housekeeper will not bully the master's child, no matter whether he is favored or not.

Especially the Xi family. The housekeepers trained by such a family with many rules will not be bad in any aspect, and the people they bring up are all the same as if they were cast from the same mold.

If someone is arrogant and dares to bully the master, he would have died in some corner long ago. "Be cautious in what you say and do" is the standard of their industry.

Of course, there are also people who bully others by taking advantage of their power. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and we should respect the diversity of species.

The reason why he didn't want to go home was that he didn't want to see his family, his parents who were like strangers to him, and his two younger brothers.

He and his two younger brothers were born to the same mother, the product of a marriage between two families, in order to produce powerful enough supernatural beings in the future generations.

This has nothing to do with him, a person who has not awakened his superpowers.
