Chapter 526: Ambiguity Escalates in the Studio
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye
Boss Cutie
Sheng Xinyi naturally felt that going to the bathroom should have been fine. But holding it in front of the person she liked was still a bit embarrassing—and the worst part was that she'd been caught.
Now, hearing Little White Dove's words, Sheng Xinyi felt the pressure lift.
"Thank you." Sheng Xinyi's eyes curved into crescents.
"I should be the one thanking you for being my model," Little White Dove said, the corners of her lips curling up without her even realizing it.
Sheng Xinyi leaned over and saw that on Little White Dove's drawing board was a clear, vivid sketch of herself, already at the coloring stage. The other's use of color was incredibly accurate.
Though it wasn't finished yet, the overall picture was already very clear.
"It's so pretty." Sheng Xinyi couldn't hold back her smile, and said sweetly.
"That's because the person in it is pretty."
After being praised by her crush, Sheng Xinyi secretly rejoiced. "N-no… Then, should I keep modeling for you?"
"I don't need that for now. Leave the rest to me—I've already got your outline in my head, clear as day." Little White Dove tapped his head with his paintbrush and spoke to Sheng Xinyi with great confidence.
Sheng Xinyi's eyes were full of admiration. "Okay."
"You can leave now. It smells like paint in here." Little White Dove was worried the smell might be too strong.
"It's fine, I actually quite like the smell in here." And your smell too.
That last part, Sheng Xinyi only said silently in her heart, too embarrassed to say it to Little White Dove's face.
Little White Dove continued painting.
Sheng Xinyi couldn't bear to leave, but just watching from the side felt like it would put too much pressure on him.
So she picked up a sketchbook and a pencil, and began drawing Little White Dove bit by bit, using him as a reference.
His brows and eyes were likewise clearly imprinted in Sheng Xinyi's mind.
Sheng Xinyi secretly glanced at him, then buried her head and drew.
As she drew, an auntie-like smile spread across her face.
Her mood was relaxed and pleasant.
Just as Sheng Xinyi was happily drawing with a smile on her lips, a shadow fell over her.
"Hm? Don't tell me you're drawing me…"
A familiar voice slipped into Sheng Xinyi's ears. Her breath caught, and then she was overcome with shame.
She immediately covered the sketchbook with both hands. "Don't look… it's too ugly!"
Sheng Xinyi had no real art foundation—she'd just gotten interested and drawn whatever came to mind.
"It's not ugly. Don't block it, I already saw it." Little White Dove said casually.
Sheng Xinyi simply stopped being coy and moved her hands away.
"I was just doodling, don't laugh at me."
Little White Dove glanced at it and could tell that this was Sheng Xinyi's first time drawing a person. The strokes were rather rough, but the drawing still had soul—his facial features were somewhat captured.
It was a doodle, but not that ugly. For a beginner, it actually showed quite a bit of talent.
"Not bad. At least you didn't make a joke out of me." Little White Dove nodded.
"I… how would I dare!" Sheng Xinyi's little face was completely flushed.
"Keep drawing." Little White Dove nodded.
"Can I really?" Sheng Xinyi was a little surprised.
Little White Dove raised an eyebrow. "I'm drawing you, so why can't you draw me? Seeing your drawing, I'm honestly thinking of taking you as an apprentice. I think you've got real talent."
After seeing Little White Dove's affirmation of her, Sheng Xinyi's mood became very joyful. She secretly snickered, exceptionally delighted.
She was no longer so lacking in confidence. Instead, under Little White Dove's encouragement, she grew bolder and bolder.
Though Sheng Xinyi's drawing skills couldn't be called refined, she drew Little White Dove with great seriousness and dedication.
Little White Dove glanced to the side.
A bright, beautiful girl sat in the light pouring in through the window, a sketchbook resting on her knees, her little face lowered as she drew earnestly.
She didn't talk much—maybe not a single word for over ten minutes—and it was so quiet that only the scratching of pencil on paper could be heard in the studio. It gave Little White Dove a feeling of tranquil, peaceful years.
Little White Dove's body and mind were completely relaxed.
He felt that after the noisy world, being able to have such a pure, quiet place was truly rare.
They drew all the way into the late evening.
Outside the studio corridor, there wasn't a single person left, and Little White Dove was getting a bit tired from drawing.
He felt soreness and swelling in all his limbs, and most importantly, he was both tired and hungry.
Just as Little White Dove's stomach was rumbling, he caught the smell of food.
This made Little White Dove even hungrier.
"So fragrant!"
Just as Little White Dove started to drool, he noticed Sheng Xinyi walking in with a lunchbox.
A smile hung on her pretty little face. "I got you food from the cafeteria. Here, eat up."
She handed the lunchbox to Little White Dove.
Little White Dove quickly opened the lunchbox and saw a very good balance of meat and vegetables—there were greens and meat, and the pork chop looked truly tempting.
Moreover, on top of the rice there were broccoli and side dishes, plus a few spoonfuls of minced meat sauce. The sauce soaking the rice was a light brown, and it was simply mouthwatering.
Little White Dove's appetite was completely whetted. "It looks delicious!"
He didn't hold back at all, immediately grabbing his chopsticks and digging into the rice.
"So good!"
Sheng Xinyi watched him eat heartily and lowered her head, secretly smiling.
"Why aren't you eating?" Little White Dove asked, puzzled.
"I'm on a diet…"
"You're still dieting?" Little White Dove found it hard to believe.
"I used to be fat, so I don't want to get fat again." Sheng Xinyi had gone on a diet for Little White Dove's sake. Back then, when she'd seen Suya, she'd felt inferior.
So it turned out the person she liked liked that kind of girl.
Not the chubby, ugly kind like her.
So Sheng Xinyi had made herself lose weight completely within three months. Whether it was fasting or exercising, no matter how hard it was, as long as she thought of Little White Dove, she felt it wasn't hard at all.
"Even if you're afraid of getting fat, you still need to eat carbohydrates, otherwise it's bad for your health." Little White Dove raised an eyebrow and said seriously. "Losing weight is about exercise—you can exercise more after eating."
Little White Dove directly handed the chicken leg to Sheng Xinyi. "Here, eat the chicken leg."
Sheng Xinyi's little face heated up. She leaned in and obediently took a bite.
She really ate like a hamster, taking small bites. Compared to Little White Dove's wild eating, she was clearly much more ladylike.
"Is it good?" Little White Dove asked.
"Delicious." Sheng Xinyi wore a smile.
Being able to eat together with the person she liked was, in itself, a satisfying and happy thing.
"Then eat a few more bites. I'll go running with you in a bit."
"Huh? Senior, won't you be very tired?"
"Tired? I'm a guy, how could I get tired?" Even if he was tired, as a man he couldn't admit it.
Sheng Xinyi smiled brightly, secretly rejoicing.
She really hadn't liked the wrong person. Senior Chen Ge was truly worth her liking.
He was a very cute boy.
After eating and resting for a while, Little White Dove stopped painting and went with Sheng Xinyi to the track to run a few laps.
Sheng Xinyi had already gone to the girls' dorm to change into sportswear, and Little White Dove waited for her at the track.
