Monster Apartment

Gu Bai is a very dedicated and responsible person. For example, he never defaults on homework, and when doing group assignments, he never delays the group due to personal reasons.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to choose to ask for leave just because of such a trivial matter as he didn't sleep well last night.

It's just that he is also very clear that his mental state of running away while walking is completely unsuitable for him to ride a small electric donkey on the road.

Si Yiming turned his head to glance at Gu Bai who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Gu Bai is currently curled up on the chair, hugging his bulging black backpack. There is a lot of food in the backpack today. The reason is naturally that he failed to get up to practice at dawn, and now he is very hungry. , can only be supplemented by force.

But besides being hungry, he was also sleepy.

Si Yiming saw that Gu Bai was holding a pear, nibbling it mechanically, while secretly dozing off bit by bit.

The senior brothers watched their junior brother sleepwalking being sent over by the boss who usually only saw it on TV and financial news, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Si Yiming said simply: "Gu Bai didn't rest well last night, so I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, it's okay." The senior brother in charge waved his hands again and again, exchanged greetings with Si Yiming and sent him away, only to see the junior brother who had put his backpack in the studio come out again, humming around There is no escalator running up and down.

"... Gu Xiaobai, what are you doing?"

Gu Bai replied: "Run around to refresh yourself."

Senior brother in charge: "..."

Fine.

Their task today is not too heavy. Apart from purchasing raw materials, they need to paint a layer of latex paint on the walls first, make up the necessary leveling, and then wait for it to dry before they can start to put on the walls.

Gu Bai wants to follow him to buy materials, because although he is not as tall as his seniors, he is definitely the strongest in the whole team. It is definitely the most suitable to help with materials or do other strength work.

However, his proposal was rejected by the brothers.

The brothers asked with concern why Gu Bai didn't rest well, and after getting the answer that it was because he had a terrible nightmare, seeing Gu Bai's slightly pale face, they simply assigned Gu Bai to the subbing group inside.

Gu Bai obeyed the organization's dispatch, and after seeing off the brothers who were going to purchase, he obediently returned to the studio and brought out two large jars of latex paint.

Three walls, two people left to paint.

Gu Bai and his senior brother brought out a large pile of newspapers from the studio, spread them on the floor under the wall, and by the way also glued a layer of handrails on the edge of the escalator.

This is to avoid accidentally staining other places when painting or coloring the wall.

When the newspapers were all laid out, Gu Bai took the initiative to move the small ladder out, and snatched the job that required a small ladder to get up the top two walls. The brother who was robbed of the job reminded him to be careful When he showed a bright smile.

The senior brother watched his smile for a long time, and while prying open the paint pot, he said, "Are you in a good mood today?"

Gu Bai touched his face, and realized that his expression might not be able to hide from his senior brother who was keen to observe details, so he touched his nose in embarrassment: "Mmm... very happy."

The senior brother looked up at the junior brother sitting on the small ladder, seeing his shy but very bright Xinyue, couldn't help but smiled along with him.

Human beings are always very easily infected by the emotions of others, whether it is positive or negative, so most human beings prefer to get along with people who love to laugh. For those who work hard, they always have a subconscious tolerance and favorite.

Just like Gu Bai, his smile is very contagious, his happiness is always simple and clear, even if there are two extra pieces of meat in the box lunch, his eyebrows and eyes will be frowned with joy.

The brother moved his shoulders twice, took out a few high-power lamps and turned them on for lighting, then picked up the brush and shook it to make sure there was no debris, then dipped the brush into the paint bucket.

"What's so happy about it?" He asked while brushing.

Gu Bai was also painting the wall over there, and when he heard him ask, he felt even more embarrassed.

"It's just a feeling..." Gu Bai's voice was not loud, but he could still hear it very clearly in the empty and quiet space, "It's just a feeling... It's really much happier to be with someone than to be alone."

"Of course." The senior brother smiled a little bigger, he thought that Gu Bai was referring to being happy to work with them, "It's very lonely to be alone, no matter what, make more friends, and often make appointments together Going out to eat, drink and play is the right thing to do."

Gu Bai thought for a while, it seemed that he often made appointments with Mr. Si to go out to eat, drink and have fun.

Nothing wrong.

Gu Bai happily brushed the paint, and chatted with his senior brother casually.

On weekdays, they were quite quiet when they were painting, but the senior brother said that he was very worried that Gu Bai would fall asleep while painting on the small ladder and cause a tragedy, so he had to chatter from time to time to prevent Gu Bai from being really sleepy and overturning the car.

This time, there are a lot of materials to be used. By noon, the walls have been painted, and the brothers in charge of purchasing have not come back.

Gu Bai and his senior brother ordered takeaway, and Gu Bai also contributed the fruits he brought.

After painting the walls and drying them, it is time to start drafting. The fact that the materials have not been purchased does not affect them to make drafts first.

Gu Bai couldn't compete with his senior for this job.

There are a total of five people in this team project, and the other four will paint the two walls separately, while Gu Bai alone is responsible for a wall of about six square meters. From the perspective of the construction period, Gu Bai's task is very heavy.

In particular, his paintings have many details, so you need to be more careful when painting them.

Gu Bai is also very aware of this, so he didn't grab it anymore.

During the three hours of waiting for the latex paint to dry completely, it was considered a lunch break after dinner.

Gu Bai was gnawing on the remaining fruit in the bag in the studio. He glanced at the planning whiteboard in the studio and the few design drafts on the whiteboard with magnets on it. On the drawing paper, he began to draw lines in a swish.

The senior brother was originally eye-opening to Gu Bai's appetite for gnawing on fruits one by one, but when he saw that he took a piece of paper and started to make a draft, he couldn't help but dragged the stool and moved over.

Gu Bai sketched the outline quite quickly, but it took only a few minutes to take shape.

It was a huge bird, and the picture was depicted from the side. Its wings spread out and its sharp claws protruded, like a giant eagle about to hook its prey.

But looking at Gu Bai's more detailed description, it is completely different from Eagle.

The tail feathers are slender, and the feathers on the top of the head are a bit like a peacock, but the beak is different from the shape of a peacock. At first glance, it looks like a very ferocious hook. The sharp claws on the feet are also quite suitable for hunting.

After Gu Bai wantonly hooked up this fighting posture, he found a blank space, put a tissue under his hand, and continued to hook up the normal flying posture.

When the red bird took off, it was accompanied by thousands of birds, and the scene was quite grand.

Although after a short period of time, those birds would be thrown off because they couldn't keep up with Suzaku's speed, but it was harmless, and this did not prevent Gu Bai from drawing the grand scene of Suzaku taking off.

The picture was not colored yet, so the senior brother looked at it for a long time and asked, "What is the picture, Phoenix?"

"No." Gu Bai shook his head, and replied with a more popular name for Vermilion Bird, "Suzaku."

The senior brother looked at it for a while, and felt that Gu Bai's drawing was too realistic.

It's not that they can't draw birds, beasts, insects and fish, but if they want to draw realistically without any sense of disobedience, they need a lot of reference materials, and even deliberately observe the real dynamics.

After all, video works always lack a touch of feeling, and that feeling is precisely the agility most needed in painting creation.

"You draw... as if you have seen it with your own eyes." The senior brother looked at Gu Baihua with his face propped up.

Because it is too real.

In terms of painting, in fact, some small details can reveal problems. For example, if the realistic works are not painted directly according to the real objects, then if you study the picture carefully, you can always find one or two violations.

The same is true of landscape painting.

And Gu Bai's paintings are all too real, as if he put the pictures he has seen on paper, after studying for a long time, he can't find any minor flaws, not even a little flaw.

There can be no perfect fictional picture in this world, unless it is based on real places.

Even Xuanwu's picture, which is full of romantic and fantasy colors, has a kind of attractiveness that makes people feel immersive.

Hearing his senior brother's evaluation, Gu Bai paused when he gnawed on the fruit: "I saw it in a dream."

The senior brother shook his head, and then praised him: "Probably because of your talent, our Gu Xiaobai is really good."

Gu Bai silently gnawed the remaining two bites of tomato in his hand, and didn't dare to make a sound.

He couldn't say that he had really seen it. After all, the brothers were still ordinary human beings, so it would be bad to scare him.

The senior brother patted him on the shoulder: "There is still an hour, I suggest you take a rest, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Gu Bai touched his no longer hungry stomach, and simply put down his pen: "Okay."

When the purchasing brothers came back, it was already close to the end of work.

In addition to various paint utensils, they also came with bulbs of various colors within museum specifications.

Gu Bai had just painted the large background and the line draft of the main body of the black turtle according to the proportions on Gu Bai's wall. When the seniors came back, he took a pen and followed them to make a color palette with paint.

After these swatches are dried, they will be placed in the dark room separated by the museum, and then they will light up the lights of various colors in the dark room to see the color difference under the light effect, so as to determine the time to use What color is the best color to paint the walls.

When Gu Bai was painting the first swatch, Si Yiming's figure appeared at the door.

The door of the studio was wide open, and the smell of paint was not very pleasant.

Mr. Si looked at the five people who were busy making swatches in the studio, thought for a while, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The five people in the room turned their heads in unison, glanced at Si Yiming, then turned to look at Gu Bai.

And Gu Bai also looked back, and after realizing that it was Si Yiming, he quickly waved the brush in his hand: "Mr. Si, wait a minute, I still have three swatches to get off work!"

Si Yiming thought for a while, looked around at the other people who had become stiff because of his arrival, and simply gave up on helping Gu Bai paint the coloring board.

"I'll wait for you in the car," he said.

Gu Bai smiled at him: "Good Mr. Si!"

Gu Bai's movements were quick, and after the swatches were painted, they were left to dry on the workbench, and they would be completely dry when they came back tomorrow morning.

He hastily said goodbye to several senior brothers, and then hurried out with his backpack on his back.

"They..."

"...Why is it the same as when I chased my wife before?"

"It's the same when I go to pick up my wife now!"

Several senior brothers pondered together for a while, took a deep breath, then you looked at me and I looked at you, bowed their heads and tossed the color palette seriously, and remained silent.

Gu Bai didn't know what the brothers were talking about, he got into the car with his bag on his back, and then he had a meal.

"Mr. Si..."

Si Yiming turned his head to look at him: "Huh?"

Gu Bai sniffed the faint smell in the car, and said while fastening his seat belt, "Why is there a smell of oily smoke in the car?"

Si Yiming's eyes drifted away, thinking of the scrapped ingredients at home today, he drifted back again, and said very calmly: "Your illusion."

The author has something to say: Si Yiming: Cooking is not fun.
