Return to the Road of God

There is a luggage limit when going abroad, and the suitcases also have specifications and sizes. Ye Yufan did not bring any large blueprints, heavy paints, etc. from China.

Learning art is no different than learning other things. There is no promise in the tuition fee to provide students with free painting materials. When Ye Yufan thinks about the prices in country A, he becomes a little anxious.

He found a painting materials store near the school, went in and saw that the prices of all kinds of utensils were ridiculously high, more than ten times more expensive than domestic ones!

A small gouache brush 7 bro... 70 yuan!

An A5-sized sketchbook is 25 bro... 250 yuan!

A box of ordinary 12-color tube paint is 49.9 bro... 499 yuan!

……

Ye Yufan wanted to vomit blood, did he enter the "Windsor Newton" artist store?Should it be so expensive!Grab money!I knew that when I came from China, I would bring nothing but paint!

What's more, Ye's father and Ye's mother only budgeted for Ye Yufan's tuition, accommodation and living expenses, but they didn't expect that Ye Yufan would need to buy painting tools to learn painting!

Naturally, Ye Yufan couldn't tell his parents about this, because he knew that every expense he had put on his family would be a great pressure, and it was just a sum of money saved when choosing a dormitory, which was a waste of money!

Ye Yufan chose several brushes and paints with the lowest price, prepared some drawing paper, and went to pay the bill. At this moment, he heard someone behind him say: "...This is the best painting supplies store in the city!"

The man spoke Mandarin, which was very clear and obvious in this country where most of the background sounds were foreign languages. Ye Yufan glanced back and saw that there were several Chinese people.

"Huh..." A girl snorted when she saw Ye Yufan.

When Ye Yufan saw that she was the person he saw in the first-class cabin on the same plane as him that day, he couldn't help being startled, turned his head, and hurriedly paid and left the painting shop.

"Let's go..." Another girl said, "He's still a handsome guy!"

"You have been surrounded by handsome guys since you were a child, can't you see enough?"

The girl asked Bai Qing: "Didn't Lustre's family sponsor a few people to come to the Royal Academy of Arts? That person just now couldn't be one of them, right?"

Bai Qing was looking at the door and thinking deeply, when she suddenly saw two familiar figures at the door, she said with a smile: "He's here, you can ask him yourself."

Guan Hongze pushed open the glass door, followed by Fu Tingxin.

Bai Qing: "Are you here to buy things too?"

"Well, it just so happens." Guan Hongze greeted the two people around Bai Qing, and introduced to Fu Tingxin, "This Tang Zhen is the daughter of the Tang Group, Fang Yi, and Meiji Airlines is their family's business."

Fu Tingxin put his hands in his trouser pockets and exclaimed, "Hongze, why are your friends so famous?"

Bai Qing explained: "You may not know it when you live abroad. When we were young, we had to participate in many social occasions, so we all knew each other."

Fu Tingxin: "They are also students of the Royal Academy of Arts?"

Fang Yi: "No, I'm from the School of Business. Xiaoqing and Zhenzhen are both students of the School of International Exchange."

The so-called International Exchange College, to put it bluntly, is a school specially set up for those second-generation rich officials and second-generation officials who can enter with money.

Fu Tingxin was surprised: "Then what are you doing here?"

Tang Zhen smirked and winked at Guan Hongze: "It goes without saying, of course I'm here to accompany Xiaoqing to buy things for Lustre!"

Fu Tingxin laughed "chih", and made Guan Hongze look embarrassed.

Bai Qing immediately changed the subject: "Hongze, didn't your family sponsor two students to come to the Royal Academy of Arts this year? Have they come? Tang really wants to see her!"

Guan Hongze looked at Tang Zhen hesitantly, and Bai Qing explained: "I just saw a handsome guy here, and Tang Zhen became a nympho. I wonder if he is one of the two students sponsored by your family!"

Guan Hongze: "..."

Fu Tingxin asked Guan Hongze: "Are those two winners of the Creative Painting Contest? Are they here too?"

Guan Hongze: "Yes."

Fu Tingxin: "Since they all learn to paint, let's call them out and get to know each other."

Bai Qing pondered: "However, I feel that the person I saw just now is a bit like the one we saw on the plane that day... Hongze, do you still remember the boy who was airsick?"

Guan Hongze's heart trembled: "When did he leave?"

Bai Qing: "Only 5 minutes ago, you came here as soon as he left."

Guan Hongze asked, "Are you sure?" If that person doesn't even know a courtesan like Tang Zhen, it's even more impossible to have anything to do with them.

Bai Qing shook her head: "I didn't see clearly, it was just a feeling."

Yes, country A is so big, there are nearly a hundred colleges and universities alone, Ye Yufan didn't just come to the Royal Academy of Arts when he got off the plane in Carter...

Guan Hongze immediately took out his phone and asked Secretary Dong for the contact information of Guo Zhekai and He Yuexi.

After hanging up the phone, Guan Hongze asked Bai Qing beside him, "When will your brother move here?"

Bai Qing: "This afternoon."

Tang Zhen asked from the side: "Bai Mu wants to live with Luster and the others?"

"Well, he came to Xili last year and lived alone for a year, tossing his body into a mess," Bai Qing shrugged, "Brother, please ask Hongze to take care of him and let him move there this year."

Tang Zhen glanced at Guan Hongze, and said with a smile, "Lustre is also a young master, how can he take care of others!"

Bai Qing said: "There is a nanny in life, the eldest brother wants to let Xiao Mu get in touch with people more, he is too autistic."

Tang Zhen: "That's right! What about you? Don't live with them?"

Bai Qing said depressedly: "Brother disagrees!"

Bai Qing and Bai Mu's eldest brother, Bo Ling, is the hottest figure in the Bai family now, his words are more intimidating than those of Bai Qing's parents.

Bo Ling had always doted on his younger siblings. He knew that Bai Mu liked to draw since he was a child and was quite talented in this area, but Bai Qing only went abroad for the sake of Guan Hongze.This time when Guan Hongze was studying abroad, Bai Qing followed without saying a word. Although Guan and Bai's families were well matched, and even the parents of both parties wished they could marry each other, Bo Ling could tell that Guan Hongze had no intentions for Bai Qing.

Bo Ling was worried that this matter would make Bai Qing sad, but he had no position to pierce the piece of paper. After all, they were still children, so he could only tell Bai Qing to keep a distance from Guan Hongze. Girls always suffer, so Bo Ling would never agree to Bai Qing's idea of ​​living with Guan Hongze.

Tang Zhen asked: "What is the background of that Shin?"

Bai Qing said: "His uncle is the dean of Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts, and his grandfather is a generation of Chinese painting master Fu Ran."

Tang Zhen: "Oh... a family of artists!"

-

He Yuexi hung up the phone, and looked nervously at Guo Zhekai beside him: "The young master of the official family called me just now."

Guo Zhekai: "Hey, who is that?"

He Yuexi: "It's Guan Hongze, the future successor of Hongyun Group who sponsored us to go abroad..."

Guo Zhekai raised his head abruptly when he heard the words: "Why is he calling us?"

He Yuexi: "He said he was in Xili and wanted to invite us to his house for a cup of tea this Saturday."

Guo Zhekai shuddered, jumped up from the bed and said, "Hong! Door! Banquet!"

"You're so big!" He Yuexi kicked Guo Zhekai, "Damn you!"

Guo Zhekai was kicked and said, "Then let's go."

He Yuexi: "Should we bring some gifts? After all, the other party is our boss, and we will depend on him for our food in the future."

Guo Zhekai rolled his eyes: "You are right! But what should I give?"

"Wait!" He Yuexi said, "Didn't Teacher Ge say that we should suffer more outside!"

Guo Zhekai: "..."

Before going abroad, Ge Qinzhou did tell them not to be greedy for wealth and enjoyment, but to endure hardships and practice more.

But Guo Zhekai doesn't know what it means to endure hardship at all, and won't eat when he's hungry?Sleepy and sleepy?Although his family background is not good, Guo Zhekai never feels that he is suffering, and his mentality is very good.

He Yuexi opened her sketchbook and read: "A gentleman's journey, quietness is for self-cultivation, frugality is for cultivating virtue. If you are not indifferent, you will not be able to show your ambitions, and if you are not peaceful, you will not be able to reach far..."

Guo Zhekai: "What the hell is this!"

He Yuexi: "Ms. Ge wrote to me at the airport!"

Guo Zhekai: "Why didn't I!"

He Yuexi: "You were so excited at the airport that you were looking for a place to draw..."

Guo Zhekai: "What's the meaning of that stuff written by Mr. Ge?"

He Yuexi: "Let's live thriftyly and don't spend money recklessly. He also said that in life, we must always pay back!"

Guo Zhekai: "I understand!"

He Yuexi: "What is your understanding?"

Guo Zhekai: "Wealthy people can't be obscene, and mighty people can't be subdued!"

He Yuexi clapped her hands together: "Well said!"

Guo Zhekai: "When the time comes, let's go see that official, what should we call him? Boss?"

"The boss is his father!" He Yuexi sighed, "Let's call him Young Master."

Guo Zhekai: "...do you still give gifts?"

He Yuexi: "Why don't we each draw a picture for him!"

Guo Zhekai: "Good!"

……

In the afternoon of that day, Ye Yufan took the first Western art history class at the Royal Academy of Arts, which was taught in English, and the names of some painters were completely unclear, which made him feel very difficult.

After class, he went to the 0133 studio to meet his team members, but when he arrived, he saw the studio door was closed, and he waited for half an hour for someone to come.

It wasn't Fei Lina who came, he let him in after hearing that Ye Yufan was a member of his team, and then left him alone.It was already an hour and a half after Feilin arrived. She didn't explain to Ye Yufan why she was late, but told him vaguely that the 0133 studio was full, and it was very difficult for him to accept him as a new member, although she couldn't study together often. , but you can find them if you need help with anything.

After making such a big circle, just to say such a sentence, Ye Yufan was really speechless.

He tactfully said: "Actually, you can tell me in the email."

Felina smiled, and could speed up her speech. Ye Yufan was already a little impatient with waiting, and it was difficult for Ye Yufan to understand what she was saying.

Although he didn't quite understand what the other party said, Ye Yufan could tell from the other party's tone and attitude that they didn't welcome him.

As for why?This Zhang Qi told him at the beginning that Westerners don’t need any reason to dislike Easterners. Regardless of their superficial politeness, in fact racial discrimination is still very serious. Only strength can make them shut up.

Ye Yufan finally understood that Fei Linna's late arrival and deliberately speeding up his speech were all embarrassing for him.

Indeed, if a group is full of people from English-speaking countries, you and the other party must have communication problems, and even if you insist on joining them, you will be excluded.

Back in the dormitory, Ye Yufan slumped on the bed exhausted.

But Felina wasn't the main cause of his bad mood, but that class.Ye Yufan roughly calculated that every class he took in this school would cost nearly 1000 yuan in tuition when converted into RMB.

Just because I don't understand, should I waste all this money?Although it is said that cultural courses do not require exams, and the final grade is based on the work, the creator's thinking is the root cause of the level of the work.

What can determine the depth of thought?It is culture class.

Those words of Andrew are actually just to comfort myself who is new here. It seems that no matter what, I have to climb over the mountain of language...

In the early hours of the morning, the phone rang twice, and Ye Yufan didn't wake up to check it until he got up in the morning.

This time, not only Jiang Bing, he also received a letter from Jiang Xue.

"Ye Yufan, are you okay in country A? My brother told me your email address, hehe... Let me tell you two things. The first one is that the art history teacher asked about you in class yesterday. , he asked, "Who is that, why didn't he come?" It turns out that he has already remembered you: P... One more thing, do you still remember the old man we met when we went to sketch together? So he It was the former principal of Yigao! Teacher Huang even specially called Li Le to question him, haha, Li Le is going to be miserable! I look forward to your reply~"

Ye Yufan raised the corner of his mouth, and replied: "Thank you for your letter, I'm fine, and wish Li Le good luck."

Then I clicked on what Jiang Bing sent, and it was still the same as before, a letter with only one short sentence: "Jiang Xue asked me for your email address."

Ye Yufan replied: "Well, I received her email."

After 1 minute, Jiang Bing replied: "She is very mobile!"

Ye Yufan: "Why did you reply so quickly! Are you in the Internet cafe again?"

Jiang Bing: "Hey, Xiao Nizi said she wanted to check the information, so she asked the family to buy a computer."

Ye Yufan: "..."

After chatting with Jiang Bing, Ye Yufan felt much better. After waking up, he opened the English book he brought from China and started to read.
