No. 09 oil painting classroom on the second floor of Jingjie Studio.

Nine students sat around in a two-story semicircle, with the human skeleton and some decorations arranged by Huo Chuxiao in the center of the circle. They have been practicing sketching with Mr. Huo for the past few days. In just one week, the level and complexity of the still life changed day by day , as soon as I entered the classroom today, someone wailed at the still life.

But as soon as Huo Chuxiao entered the room, these voices disappeared instantly.

It's not that he is so strict, on the contrary, after a few days of contact, the students all think that Mr. Huo just looks cold, but he is actually very easy to talk, as long as he is not too outrageous in class, he can do anything.

A few boys always liked to bully the temperless teacher, Huo Chuxiao had a delicate face again, looking thin and weak, he was often joked by them in the first two days.

However, I have experienced several sharp and merciless comments, such as "the talent is very average", "your dream is to enter the A Academy of Fine Arts? Have you considered changing your dream, after all, you are so young", "the wiring is a little clean It's not illegal at all"...

The prickly heads were about to cry, but obediently stood behind Mr. Huo and watched him change the painting for themselves. They didn't have the time to tease, and only two words remained, "I'll change it."

It is often said that it takes 21 days to form a habit, but in just five days, the students have already formed the habit of "preparing to apologize at any time when Teacher Huo passes by me".

Even Teacher Huo never seemed to care about their apologies.

The windows of the oil painting classroom were wide open, and the air was filled with the smell of turpentine. Huo Chuxiao was also painting with the students, but suddenly heard a few arguments from the corner.

He has always been too lazy to care about these children chatting in private. In his opinion, it doesn't matter if these kids move out of the hot pot to eat, as long as the work is qualified.

But quarreling in class is another matter.

"give me."

"Don't—"

Huo Chuxiao frowned, put down his brush, a little annoyed that his painting was interrupted.

"Quiet."

The two boys who were fighting for each other paused, and one of them immediately let go of his hand as if he had let go of his strength.

Seeing this, the other party put on an unforgiving posture, but when he saw Huo Chuxiao standing up from the corner of his eye, he restrained himself.

Huo Chuxiao walked up to the two of them and asked, "Did you finish the painting?"

One of the boys immediately stood up and complained: "Mr. Huo, he stole from me."

"I do not have!"

"Fart, you got that box of paint from me. Or is that the only brand you can afford?"

Huo Chuxiao was too lazy to listen to such meaningless disputes, so he said straightforwardly: "We will argue after the painting."

Both students choked for a while.

Huo Chuxiao ignored their petty paint theft dispute. In broad daylight, there are surveillance cameras in the classroom. Isn't it easy to investigate this kind of thing?

He walked around behind the easels of the two, glanced at the sitting boy's painting, and said, "Get up."

Then he sat down and was about to change the painting when he suddenly noticed something strange in the kid's paint bucket.

He had already smelled the low-quality paint, and saw signs of mildew and re-blended turpentine after the expiration date, and the barrel was also very cheaply packaged, so he looked up at the boy.

The boy is thin and thin, at least five centimeters shorter than the other children of the same age in the studio, and his skin is also very poor, leaving only a pair of big eyes hiding behind the bangs that have not been trimmed for a long time. He lowered his head shyly and did not dare to look at him .

Huo Chuxiao took another look at the other boy, who was wearing the latest sneakers and a famous brand. All the oil paints were imported, an expensive brand that he would not easily buy.

After reading it, Huo Chuxiao didn't say anything, but stood up and took the paints he used, replaced the pile of bad-smelling low-quality goods, raised the brushes again, and said to the boy behind him: "Watch how I can modify your paintings." .”

Then he said to another child: "What are you doing in a daze, continue. Pay attention to the tone."

The originally domineering boy immediately said: "Yes!"

Teacher Huo said this, which means that there is nothing wrong with his painting. The little boy's emotions come and go quickly. He thought he was affirmed by the teacher, and immediately put the dispute behind him, and his mind was full of seriousness. paint.

A class doesn't end until noon.

The children still had classes in the afternoon, and they planned to go to a nearby restaurant for lunch together, and they all left the classroom one after another.

In the end, only Huo Chuxiao, who was still repainting, and the child standing behind him were left.

It took him a little more time to finish, put down his pen, get up and leave.

The boy called him quickly: "Teacher, your paint."

Huo Chuxiao glanced back at him, "Just put it there."

The boy froze for a moment, lowered his head and said nothing.

When he went out, he realized that Qin Huai had already stood outside the classroom at some point. He probably saw him changing the painting for a while, so he met each other and said with a smile, "Go to lunch?"

Huo Chuxiao nodded, bypassing him and leaving.

Qin Huai suddenly said: "At first I thought you were not a teacher."

Huo Chuxiao paused.

"But looking at it now, maybe I was wrong."

Qin Huai walked to his side.

"You know that Luo Ran did steal Xiao Deng's paint, right? But why didn't you say it just now?"

Huo Chuxiao turned around: "Because I'm only in charge of teaching painting."

Qin Huai smiled again: "The situation at Luo Ran's family is not good. To be honest, it's not easy to persist in learning painting. You also gave him your paint on purpose, right?"

Huo Chuxiao: "Inferior pigments will change color and affect the finished product."

Qin Huai's smile deepened, and there was something else in his eyes, like admiration.

"Are you interested in having lunch with me? I know a good French restaurant nearby."

Huo Chuxiao was expressionless: "Not interested."

After all, turn around and walk away.

Qin Huai was left alone in the same place, and he didn't get over it for a while.

That's hilarious, who wants to have lunch with someone they don't know?He was finally able to have some alone time...

Huo Chuxiao was about to leave the studio, but saw a familiar person standing at the door, approached, and was stunned.

"Little sister?"

The sister-in-law was dressed in a professional attire, as if she had just rushed here from somewhere, and when she saw him, she slapped him on the chest angrily.

"You heartless dead child, you didn't tell me about such a big event!"

Teacher Huo, who was awe-inspiring and inviolable in the eyes of the students, was obedient and cowardly in front of my sister-in-law at this moment.It's like being back to my old self.

The two of them came to a tea restaurant nearby, and after they were seated, the sister-in-law still looked out of breath.

"Marriage? The whole family is hiding such a big thing from me, isn't it!" She drank a sip of tea and said angrily, "During the month of my business trip abroad, they packed you up and sold you to Ji's family?"

Huo Chuxiao: "I am willing."

The sister-in-law slapped the table, startling the waiter who served the food.

"What are you willing to do? I think you grew up and don't know what kind of temperament you are? My good sister-in-law is also very biased, and she dares to do this only when she is sure of your temper. My brother is also... Ji's family Is that kid clear about his character and personality? Just send his son there! If the business is not well managed, it’s because they are not good at it? Selling children is nothing!"

Huo Chuxiao originally wanted to tell her that he had already agreed with Ji Zongming for a one-year deadline, but then he thought that the sister-in-law's anger had nothing to do with whether they divorced, so he shut his mouth embarrassingly and kept silent.

The sister-in-law scolded for a while, and Huo Chuxiao found out that she had returned to China last weekend, and she had been busy for a few days before returning home for a reunion dinner, only to find that Huo Chuxiao was missing from the dinner table. After asking, she finally learned about this thunderbolt from the blue sky news.She had a quarrel with her family, but she was destined to be unable to let go of her anger. Qi Birong said, "The marriage is over, what else do you want?"

Ask where Huo Chuxiao is now, there are so many people in the family, no one cares, only Huo Chuhong later secretly said that his brother resigned from his job, picked up a paintbrush again, and probably works in which studio now.

After Huo Chuxiao's wedding, he changed his phone number and made it clear that he didn't want to contact his family. Naturally, my sister-in-law couldn't get through to his mobile phone, so she asked around. Fortunately, she still had contact with Huo Chuxiao's college classmate Du Shaoning, so she found Jingjie.

When my sister-in-law saw him, she was angry and wronged for him.

"That kid from Ji's family, I heard that he came from a bad background?"

Huo Chuxiao lied: "I don't know."

"It seems that you are not welcome at home, and you were thrown into the army to exercise when you were just an adult?"

"I don't know."

"You..." The aunt was discouraged, "Forget it, you are also an adult, I don't say anything about you. I just ask you, what do you plan to do in the future? You don't really plan to spend the rest of your life with him for the sake of your family, do you? "

"of course not."

The sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the child is not stupid to the end.

She looked around Huo Chuxiao carefully again, and there was a little surprise in her voice: "Is it my illusion? I haven't seen you for a month, and I feel that Xiaoxiao is not the same as before?"

Huo Chuxiao: "Now that you have a family, there must be changes."

"Screw you."

The sister-in-law leaned over to him, her tone full of joy: "You started drawing again?"

"Ah."

"Painting is good. As long as it is something you like, my sister will support you no matter what you do in the future. By the way, do all of you who are engaged in art hold solo exhibitions? I happen to have a lot of curators in Europe. The contacts in the industry, when the time comes..."

As soon as they talked about work, my sister-in-law was radiant, and she dragged Huo Chuxiao to talk non-stop, eating a meal for almost an hour.

"Do you know something?" The aunt said casually as if she just remembered something, "Chu Hong also resigned."

Huo Chuxiao paused while drinking tea, "What?"

"When I went home that day, my brother was arguing with him about this matter, and he was also in a state of distress and full of lawsuits."

My sister-in-law still felt relieved when she thought of Huo Yuanshan's demeanor of being furious and reluctant to fight with his precious son.

But Huo Chuxiao was shocked far more than the others.

Shouldn't Chuhong be promoted to the position of vice president smoothly in the family business?How could you resign suddenly?

The plot is... collapsed again?
