Xiaobai Deformation Meter

"Really?" Xu Bai's eyes widened, and the flower arms that were still waving in his mind disappeared in an instant.

Han also seemed amused by her expression, and laughed too.

Han Qian glared at Han Ye, and said to her, "Of course, I still want to read your work. Bunting Studio only speaks on strength."

Xu Bai dug out the picture on his phone and showed it to Han Qian.Han also patted her on the shoulder and told her not to be nervous.

Han Qian watched casually, while Xu Bai listened attentively to what the two brothers had to say.

It turned out that the founder of the studio was Han Qian's grandfather, and Han Qian and Han were also cousins ​​of the same age.After the grandfather passed away, the studio was handed over to Han Qian, but it was also from this time that the lives of the two brothers had a turning point.

Only then did Xu Bai know that Han Ye didn't concentrate on painting after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, but clamored to open a game studio, so as to continue the dream of an Internet-addicted teenager, helping customers to level up and upgrade their equipment, each This kind of idleness, all the money he earned was spent on drinking and drinking, and he still owed a lot of debts. Now relying on this studio, he is living a mediocre life.

Han Qian's painting style is completely different. After graduation, he went abroad to study. He not only has a studio in the United States, but also got married. Now he is the father of two children.

Xu Bai unconsciously glanced at the patterns in the studio, she could recognize Han Ye's paintings at a glance, they were still so wild.The works of characters signed by Han Qian are much more realistic, they look like real people from a distance, and the color, light and shadow are well grasped.She herself is somewhere between the two genres.

There are also some students' works neatly arranged on easels.When Xu Bai squinted his eyes and took a closer look, he realized that she had already stood up.

"When was this painting finished?" Han Qian raised his head and asked her, holding his phone high.

She remembered that she finished the painting at the beginning of the year, and replied, "This month."

"Bring it after signing it. I'm considering whether to bring it back to the United States to participate in this year's art exhibition." Han Qian said with a relaxed tone, "I respect your wishes. If you refuse the auction, let's talk."

Xu Bai sat down and discussed with Han Qian.Being able to auction her is what she wishes for, she is going to die of poverty.But she had no idea what was so special about the work she drew while she was dozing off—she didn't even add lines, she just used the ever-changing color combinations to build the frame of the whole painting.

Han Qian actually admired her idea, so she was embarrassed to say that it was because she was too poor to buy a border pen...

Maybe it's her style to strike right and wrong, just like knowing Shen Yi.Her wish to work in a studio has finally come true!

"Is this your girlfriend? You really put your heart into the painting."

Xu Bai took the phone, and Shen Yi was sitting in the taxi looking back at her, with tears like diamonds shining in his eyes.

She showed a happy smile, and felt that people with high EQ like Han Qian were really scary.Just one compliment revealed her judgment on her sexual orientation and avoided embarrassment.

Han must have told Han Qian that she was a lesbian a long time ago, which is not uncommon in the art circle, so she took up the topic in a friendly manner.

"Besides painting, I care most about her."

Afterwards, Xu Bai said that she is still working at the unit.Han Qian didn't force her to come tomorrow, but just told her to think carefully. At the beginning, the salary was very low, and she had to go through the internship period. People who can draw may not be able to teach others how to draw.

"I'll only stay in China for two months, so I'll clean up this kid." Han Qianchaohan also nodded, "Then I'll go back and prepare for the art exhibition. You can answer me within two months, I believe you will come of."

"I will." Xu Bai looked firm, "Two months is enough, I will bring the painting the day I join the job."

She looked at Han Qian as if she wanted to look at an idol.Han Qian also looked at her, with an indescribable scrutiny in his eyes, as if he was confirming something, but he was not sure.

Xu Bai was a little confused, and felt that it would be better to keep his mouth shut in front of the boss.But after all, they are the same age, and they are also Han Ye's elder brother, and they still have the same dream. The two soon became drunk and unconscious at the hot pot restaurant, and chatted a lot about work.

"The two of you are so annoying, you are still talking about painting after drinking like dogs." Han also laughed, "Xiaobai, what happened to you afterwards? It's a pity that Yong'er got married. She was The dream girl of many boys."

"Who is Yong'er?" Han Qian frowned, "Aren't you going to get married and hang out with you? After the money is paid back, we should transfer the studio as soon as possible."

Xu Bai was dumbfounded, talked about her intermittently, and sent the good news to Shen Yi all at once, swiping the screen with expressions.

Han also drove her home, she fell asleep and went to work the next day, but her heart was still in the studio.

[Great, Ah Bai can do whatever he wants, don’t worry about low wages, let’s take it step by step.It's almost time for the model test, I'm so nervous, what should I do if I still don't feel very good... The ranking in the comprehensive literature is not bad, but the math just gives me a headache. ]

Xu Bai got a little smoother here, and Shen Yi entered the most difficult college entrance examination warm-up, and she had to cry to her after each exam, for fear that she would not pass the exam.

Shen Yi's ups and downs made her anxious.She coaxed her and told Shen Yi to eat well first.

[Don't look at the last two big questions in mathematics, you still specialize in the basics.Exams are tricky, understand?As long as you can memorize other subjects, you won't be too bad. Only mathematics can widen the gap. You must not give up, but don't be too nervous, I will accompany you. ]

[I don't really want to cry in front of you, you are already very busy, but I can't help it...]

Xu Baiqiang cheered up and replied: [Little fool, you helped me get through the difficulties when I was the most tired. If you were tired, I would not abandon you.Your parents don't believe that you can be admitted to university, but I believe in you, and I will support you to the end. ]

[Ah Bai, it's good to have you. ]

[That is. ] Xu Bai opened the closet, and it was full of clothes and bags for Shen Yi. Although they were not expensive, she had been choosing them for a long time: [Except for buying things for my parents during the Chinese New Year, all my extra money is for you , they are waiting for you with me. ]

[It's okay, I don't need those, Ah Bai buy something for himself, don't spend money for me. ]

[I have nothing to buy. ] Xu Bai stared at the trousers he had been wearing for two years, and said casually: [I feel happier buying things for my wife, anyway, I look good in everything I wear, and I’m going to change jobs soon, so I want to save some money. ]

[I will work hard for Abai! ]

Xu Bai smiled: [Well, also for yourself. ]

Although her heart is gone, she still stayed through the unit's vacancy period and insisted on completing the last two months of work before applying for resignation. The process was greatly hindered.The factory director immediately called the acquaintance who introduced her, and the acquaintance immediately called Xu Wenhui.

She had said countless times at home that she would resign, but her father kept persuading her, on the surface to make her think carefully before making a decision, but in fact she didn't want her to leave at all.

"This is the longest job I've ever had." Xu Bai said patiently, "I've never been late for a day, I've never left a day early, I can do everything, just to prove to you that I can do Good thing. I left because the job wasn't for me and I just wanted to do what I loved."

"You are afraid of suffering and tiredness, and you don't want to stay up late!"

Xu Bai felt very aggrieved, but she was used to being criticized for a long time, and she also shouted: "Did you take me to the hospital to see a doctor? It was my mother who took me there! What is the difference between you and Liang Haimei? I'm fine, but I just can't let go of face!"

"Oh, what are you yelling at? You have come to collect debts from your father all your life." Bai Mingzhi hugged Yunyun and said, "Let me make a statement first. As long as you can support yourself, you can decide what you want to do. After you choose Don't change."

Xu Wenhui also said the same, but his expression was obviously unwilling, and in the end he could only let her go.

Xu Bai knew that what she said was too much, but she tried her best, no one can stop her this time, and she will not change again.

On the last day of work, she said goodbye to her master.She knew that the master stayed up late and his stomach hurts during menstruation, so she sent a packet of very pure brown sugar.The moment she turned around with her bag on her back, she admired from the bottom of her heart these people who stick to their posts, who spend their youth behind the scenes day and night, but no one can see them.

[Wife, I am free!I'm going to the studio tomorrow, so I need to prepare first. ]

[Okay, I understand, rest if you are tired. ]

Xu Bai wanted to take a break, but when his father said that she resigned because she wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep, he sat down and prepared the drawing paper.

After my grandfather passed away, my mother was afraid that my grandmother would be bored at home alone, so she took my grandmother to live at home for two days.

Whenever she got inspiration and was about to paint, grandma would walk around her and talk to her all the time.She simply put down her paintbrush, went to the living room to make a cup of tea and chat with her grandma.

"Your mother told me that if you want to be a teacher, you can go as long as you can make money." Grandma said with a smile, "It's a bit cold, Xiaobai, help me take off my socks."

Xu Bai went back to the bedroom and took out the socks and handed them to grandma. Seeing that grandma was struggling to dress, he said, "Let me do it."

She put her grandmother's feet on her lap, and suddenly thought of the puppy Ah Bai.She knew that grandma was very patriarchal, but seeing her lonely figure, she lost all anger in her heart.

"Thank you, Xiaobai is so good."

After finishing it, she continued to listen to her grandmother's chatter, feeling very relaxed, and occasionally made her laugh by acting cute.

"Cheng Peng gave you money because he has a stable job. I'm so poor, grandma, I'll spend it on you when I make money."

"You're talking like grandma wants your money. I don't want it. You just changed your job now. Don't worry." After that, grandma wanted to give her money.

The two slowly entered into sensitive topics.

"How old are you this year, have you found a boyfriend yet?"

Xu Bai licked the ice cream in his hand and said: "No, my vision is too high, I am so high-spirited, I can't even look down on those men."

Grandma didn't say anything, so she told her not to delay.At this time, she was really lucky to have an unmarried cousin who helped her block the knife.

"My mother is the one. She never cared about me. She knew how to play poker in one day."

Grandma slapped her lightly and scolded her, "That's wrong. If you didn't have your mother, would you have grown so big?"

Xu Bai fell into deep thought.Ever since she worked three shifts, experienced the hardships of this kind of work, and saw the change of her mother's family, she has forgiven her mother when she was young...

Except for the two deepest people in her subconscious mind——Liang Haimei and Xu Wenhui, she has taken a lot of things lightly, and no longer let them torture herself.

Xu Bai hoped that time could pass faster, and when Shen Yi joined her life, she believed that the haze of the past would dissipate.

With such good expectations, she took the painting hand-picked by Han Qian and stepped into the bunting studio.

"You're finally here." Wearing an apron, Han Qian turned his head to look at her, and began to paint again, "I don't have class today, so I can just do your business."

"Well, I'm here to join the job." Xu Bai put the painting on the table.

Han Ye took her to visit the remaining three floors. There was a terrace rest area on the roof, where she answered Han Ye's few questions and went through the interview for a while.After playing around with the formalities, she officially joined the Bunting Studio and became a trainee teacher.

Usually only Han Ye and a few other teachers are in the studio. During the period when Han Qian returned to China, there were more students, all of whom came here for the fame.

Han Qian didn't let her teach as soon as she came, but let her sit in the classroom and study like a student, and she had to draw during the period.

This week, Xu Bai was either accompanying Shen Yi or painting, and he quickly got used to this regular routine.

The day before Han Qian was about to leave, he explained some things to her, and then sat and chatted with her in the terrace rest area.

"The day Han Ye was beaten, I saw you very early."

"Oh, you were always behind me, right?" Xu Bai recalled the sound of those leather shoes at that time.

Han Qian nodded and said, "Later, I heard you talk about yourself. To be honest, I admire you a lot. Your experience is very special."

"My life has never been smooth." After Xu Bai finished speaking, he lowered his head.

"No, look at my younger brother. His life is smooth sailing." Han Qian said with a smile, "Everything has two sides. If you get it too easily, you won't cherish it. If you miss any moment in your life, you won't make today You, thank you for the journey you have traveled."

"I'll take it as if I've experienced all the pain in advance, and only happiness will be left in the future."

"Well, I'm going back too."

Xu Bai was a little curious, so he asked Han Qian, "Which city in the United States are you in?"

Han Qian blurted out: "Los Angeles."

"Well, it's sunny out there."

Xu Bai was a little disappointed, she always thought it was Yucheng, and she especially liked the feeling of drizzle in Yucheng.

Han Qian patted her on the shoulder like a good brother, and said, "Think carefully, do you want to sell that painting?"

Xu Bai was always puzzled by this matter, so he said, "This painting is very ordinary, what's the problem?"

Han Qian looked at her with the same hesitation as before.

"What's wrong?" Xu Bai encouraged, "It's okay, just tell me."

Han Qian seemed to have finally made up his mind and said, "Xiaobai, are you T?"

Xu Bai thought it was something, then laughed out loud, nodded and said, "Yes, I thought you knew."

Han Qian didn't smile, but just raised the corner of his mouth.

"You misunderstood, I am not talking about the T of Lala, but Transgender, that is, transgender people."
