Two-dimensional Bai Xue

"Who do you think did it?"

"I have no idea……"

The continuous questioning made Zhenbai slightly out of breath.

Whenever the true white eardrum catches Rita's voice, she instinctively feels scared.

Seeing Rita's ferocious face, Jiming frowned, and finally relaxed, but still didn't stop her. It's better to say some things, so as not to have a hypocritical listless smile on his face every day.

"Who do you think made me give up painting?"

"Isn't it all for nothing?"

Rita's empty eyes pierced through Mashiro, making her stand still.

"……why?"

Afraid of hearing Rita's next words, Zhenbai held Jiming's clothes tightly, as if she felt a little bit more secure in this way. She just kept repeating this sentence as if she had forgotten other words...

"I'm not the only one who was forced by Zhenbai to give up painting, you know?"

"You really don't know, but this is Mashiro Shiina whom we yearn for, who we can't catch up to even if we want to, and who is more hateful than anyone else."

"Do you still remember the children who learned to paint in Grandpa's studio with me and Mabai?"

"remember."

"Have you noticed those children disappearing from the studio one by one every month?"

"..."

"When did someone disappear, do you remember?"

"……I"

"Maybe Zhenbai doesn't even remember his name or face?"

No words, her silence affirming the truth in Rita's words.

"The children in Grandpa's studio are different from the innocent children in the painting classroom. They are children who came from all over the UK and all over the world to learn professional painting and become famous painters. "

It must have been the same for Zhenbai and Rita at the beginning, Jiming quietly covered Zhenbai's hands that were so cold that there was no warmth at all, trying to give her some warmth.

"Everyone has a great expressive ability. Although they are children, they are already artists. However, in a studio where only geniuses gather, even geniuses become ordinary people... because it is the first time since birth. Painting opponents who are better than myself... The studio is such a place. Knowing that there will be competitors, there are several people who give up immediately because they can't stand it every year.

Because I always thought that I was special, but it turned out not to be like that. The reality presented in front of children is very cruel.However, as long as we are in the world of talents, these things are taken for granted.Yes, it is taken for granted, but our situation was a little different at that time, because of the existence of Zhenbai..."

"I……"

"That's right. No matter how hard we try, we can't become the same as Mashiro. We are completely inferior. Mashiro's eyes didn't look at us at all...Mashiro chopped up those who just lived and gathered for painting with an invisible knife. The children in the studio. The dreams of their peers who aspired to be painters were trampled on as calmly as they are now. Looking at Mashiro's paintings, one would think, 'Ah, our world is different.' I realized what true talent is. Even so, I still believed in myself and struggled painfully. When I raised my head thinking that I had made progress, I only saw that Mashiro had already reached a place ahead... as if she was the only one who had grown wings... ..."

After saying so much in one breath, it seemed as if she had uttered all the words accumulated in her heart for many years. Rita panted slightly, her face was flushed strangely, and she didn't know whether it was guilt or the pleasure of successful revenge.

Jiming gently hugged Zhenbai, who had blank and bewildered eyes, in his arms, and gave Rita a sideways glance.

It's still the same sentence, because he used to be an ordinary person without any talents, he could understand Rita's feelings, but he couldn't agree with her actions.

After all, she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who hadn't grown up.

"Are you finished? Go back to your room and go to bed after you finish speaking. It's getting late."

Perhaps because of Rita's influence, Jiming's voice also became colder.

Compared with Rita, whom he has not known for a long time, he is obviously more towards Zhenbai who gets along with each other day and night.

"No! I haven't finished talking!"

Rita's blue eyes were bloodshot, she opened her mouth, and wanted to continue venting her feelings, only to find that her throat felt as if it was burning, which may be the reason why she yelled too hard just now, and she was barefoot like this No matter what, he walked directly to the table, picked up the paper cup just now and drank the remaining water in one gulp, which made him feel much better.

This small action made the girl's accumulated aura disappear completely. Jiming, who was originally a little angry, had a strange face. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to laugh out loud.

"Rita..."

Mashiro, who has always been ignorant of these things, cannot breathe smoothly because of discomfort.

Feeling depressed for a while, Rita, who still had a lot to say, continued to talk on her own.

"There are so many children in the studio, and I was the only one left in the end. I gritted my teeth and persisted until now, but... I really can't go on!"

"I can't forgive that kind of Mabai...so I hope you disappear and I hope you disappear soon, so that I can help you become a manga artist, teach you how to use a computer, and even assist you with the procedures for coming to Japan. All this is because I hope you draw Publishing my favorite but extremely boring comics, being criticized as worthless, and then not going well, you will know how we feel when you are physically and mentally hurt. I just didn’t expect you to debut!"

Because the emotion was too intense, Rita's beautiful big eyes were stained with layers of blood again, making her look extremely terrifying.

Jiming shrugged his shoulders, he knew the fact was like this, but when it came to his debut...should it be a credit or something?It seems that because he suffers...

Rita's pained and distorted expression made her empathize with her. She clutched her chest helplessly, where there was a burst of pain that was about to be torn apart.

"Rita..."

As she spoke, Rita couldn't help but see a layer of mist appearing in her eyes.

"Because I have been painting beside Zhenbai since I was a child, I yearn for Zhenbai more than anyone else."

"I recognize Zhenbai's talent more than anyone else."

"But why... why can't I catch up with you no matter how hard I try!!"

"Take the goal from others, no matter how much I pray, how hard, how much I desire, I can't get it, but I have it so easily and throw it away without interest. I really can't forgive you, really!!!"

"But why, even though you hurt me like this, I still have no way to hate you, no way to give up your talent, why..."

……

Chapter 230 Raiders in progress

Because you cherish this friend with Zhenbai very much.

Jiming just looked at Rita who was dripping with tears, shrugged his shoulders, and came to such a conclusion.

But he didn't say that yet, because Rita seemed to have a lot to say.

Really, why do I have to listen to a foreign woman complaining here in the middle of the night.

Ji Ming couldn't help complaining a bit, it seemed that after the incident, he wanted to enlighten the mood of the underage girl who lost her footing.

Zhenbai just grasped his hands tightly, so hard that even those hands that were usually drawn without confusion were trembling.

"When I was young, no, it should be said that I have been drawing since I was sensible."

Rita muttered to herself, her voice was not as cold or roaring as before, but as if she was talking to herself.

"During that time, both my grandpa and my parents would praise me for my good painting. They told me that I would be an excellent painter when I grew up. At that time, I didn't quite understand what this meant. Praise and continue to work hard to learn how to draw.

Jiming continued to listen quietly.

"But all this changed after Zhenbai came. At the beginning, I didn't have any other ideas. I just wanted to paint with the very powerful Zhenbai and make progress together, but my grandpa told me 'enough', because with Zhenbai Such an amazingly talented person exists, because he can't beat her, so forget it, and there is no point in painting any more..."

Rita covered her cheeks, her words exuded a breath of despair, being denied by everyone, being ignored by the true white that she only had Huahua in her eyes, that feeling was very painful.She really started to laugh at herself, she didn't know how many times better than Jiming.

Just listening to Jiming felt a burst of pain, and I don't know how Rita, who was still young at that time, endured it.

"But I like drawing, drawing is all I have! I have been drawing since I was a child. What else do I have besides drawing? But not only my grandpa, but even my parents said that to me...'Give up ', because of the existence of Zhenbai... Zhenbai took everything from me..."

Jiming could feel that Zhenbai's body began to tremble. She must have cared about her friend Rita very much to have this reaction.

"No matter who says it, even so, I have lived with Zhenbai for ten years since I was a child, and I have drawn pictures for ten years together every day. I don't want to give up painting just like this, and I also don't want to give up Zhenbai who grew up together... I I know, it's worthless and embarrassing for me to do this. But, but..."

Facing Rita like this, Zhenbai just stretched out his hand blankly as if begging, "Rita...don't say any more."

Rita was indifferent to Zhenbai's words, her vision was full of mist, and she looked at Jiming who had been watching coldly.

"It doesn't matter whether you have a good family, whatever you want, or your talents, people like you who are destined to stand in the spotlight from birth will never understand me!!"

Jiming's face was still calm, and his voice also said: "Is it finished?"

"It's over."

Rita rang out with a sobbing sound.

"After listening for so long, can I also say a few words?"

Jiming opened lightly, like Zhenbai who had lost his mind, looking down on Rita who was pear blossom and raining.

Although the meaning in the words was to ask for her opinion, Jiming spoke directly without waiting for Rita's consent.

"Miss Rita Einsworth, although it's not good for me to say this as a junior, but I can't complain, whether it's your parents or grandpa, it's really too bad."

Rita was taken aback by the information that Jiming half-closed his eyes. When she recovered, she was surprisingly not angry. Maybe she also had resentment towards her parents or grandpa?Is it just because of the shackles of morality or because she is well-behaved that she never speaks out?

"Zhenbai draws very well, I admit it. But is that why they made you give up drawing since you were a child?"

Jiming sneered, just the scattered situation from Rita's mouth made him extremely disgusted with the impression of Rita's parents. This is what he hated the most when he was in the Celestial Dynasty.

There is no need to overstate the importance of parental education in childhood when the Three Views were still being formed. Her parents instilled this idea in Rita since she was a child, and the other party can still persist until now. It can be said that she is very strong.

It can even be said that the root cause of Rita's pain now is Rita's parents.

Zhenbai stood behind the sofa and hesitated for a while. Even though Rita hurt her so much, she still regarded Rita as a friend in her heart. She was kind and didn't want Jiming, whom she also cherished, to quarrel with Rita. She still didn't understand Jiming What she meant was that Jiming was bullying Rita for her sake of 'making her way out'.

After a pause, Jiming then said mercilessly:

"Of course, your parents are terrible, but you are not much better. If your family tells you to give up, you give up? Is this your dream or their dream? Is this why you give up your own dream? Can't you Get rid of the expectations of your family, and step out of the shadow of Zhenbai for a while, and take a good look at your heart, what do you really want to do?"

Rita had lost her spirits, but her pair of clear eyes that were about to be broken gradually regained their light.

Normally, Jiming would never say these things to a girl, but now that the special situation requires special treatment, he continued to say things that sounded painful but were actually trying to persuade the other party.

"You are almost an adult, Miss Rita, you are now completely independent. So can you not care so much about other people's eyes, and really pursue your own dreams for yourself? Let's not talk about talent, but hard work In other words, can you really be sure that you are working harder than Zhenbai?"

Rita pursed her cherry lips, her breathing became a little rapid, and the light in her eyes looking up at the other party became brighter and brighter.

"At least in my opinion, you definitely didn't work hard in vain, so what qualifications do you have to say 'give up' now that you haven't even worked hard in vain?"

Staring at the delicate skin on Rita's face, Jiming's tone eased. He was really worried about being honest, and he had never done such a thing as consulting in his heart.

"Yes... Rita is really good at painting, I can't give up, I still want to paint with you..."

At this time, Zhenbai also walked to Rita's side with small steps, and her clear eyes reflected Rita's gradually firmer back.

There was a sudden silence among the three of them.

……

Chapter 230 Choose not to forgive him!

Rita, who still had two tear stains on her face, burst into tears suddenly and laughed, "Mr. Ming is so cunning, he sneaked in when a girl was weak, and now she is going to follow you straight away."

"Are you shaking M?"

Jiming couldn't hold back his complaints, he was just acting as the girl's spiritual mentor, as if he had accidentally captured her...?

"Maybe. Although what Mingjun said is not a gentleman at all, you are right. My life has been living under the wishes of others. I have never thought about what I really want. ...But now, I understand!"

Rita suddenly showed a bright smile at the two of them, which was different from the false smile that seemed to be wearing a mask before. This was genuine, heartfelt happiness.

It's like rain and dew sprinkled on the boundless desert, which is very moving.

Jiming nodded in relief. The knot between the two girls should be untied now, right?

Seemingly understanding what Jiming was thinking, Rita laughed again in order to slap him in the face, and said inexplicably.

"Even so, I still hate Zhenbai very much!"

The two of them were stunned. Jiming was stunned to accept his flag in seconds. As for Zhenbai, he was a little unclear about the sudden change in the conversation.

"While living in the same room, clothes and underwear are always taken off and thrown around, and I put the cauliflower that I hate on my plate..."

It's rare for Zhenbai to turn his head away, "...well"

"If you go out without telling me, you will get lost, and I will lead you back in the end. Don't care about the mess in the room, leave it all to me to clean."

"……sorry."

Zhenbai shrunk his head, thinking that he apologized sincerely.

"Using other people's paints without authorization, as well as brushes..."

Rita's face was full of smiles, and she counted them one by one with her fingers. Her expression didn't look like she was complaining or angry at all.

"sorry."

"The examples are too numerous to list."

"……sorry."

Zhenbai lowered his head, like a wronged kitten.

"I didn't know Rita was thinking about that."
