Chapter 17: The Painting is Complete

After the knock on the door, Hai Linlin shouted to please come in. The door of the studio was just hidden, and someone pushed it open and entered. Hai Linlin and I stood up almost at the same time and shouted, "Teacher Ou." ”

Teacher Ou was standing at the door in a black coat, saw the two of us, and said, "It's you two, you're still painting so late, I said who is still in the studio so late, I thought someone forgot to turn off the light and lock the door when they left, and when I got to the door, I heard someone talking inside." ”

Mr. Ou entered the studio and looked at several paintings inside, some of which were finished and some of which were semi-finished products. He walked up to the painting that Hai Linlin was painting, looked at it for a while, nodded slightly, and showed appreciation in his eyes. Turning his head and asking Hai Linlin if the painting was painted by her,

"Yes. Hai Linlin replied, "It will be done in two or three hours." ”

"I think you seem to be in the third class. Teacher Ou asked, "How many points did you score for your graduation project?"

"9 points. She said.

"Oh. Teacher Ou said: "This time, only 5 people scored more than 9 points, and I have an impression of those 5 paintings, which one is yours and what are you drawing?"

"The one of a woman holding a candle. Hai Linlin replied.

Teacher Ou thought for a while and said, "Oh, I remember, it's the one hanging next to Yu Qi." He thought about it for a while and said, "That painting is really good, and it is very skillful, and it is rare to see such a good work in the graduation exhibition in the past few years." ”

Hai Linlin said: "Thank you, Mr. Ou, I hope you will give me more advice in the future." ”

"The painting is kept. Teacher Ou said: "Don't be like Yu Qi, if it weren't for me, he might even throw away his graduation work." ”

Hai Linlin turned her head to look at me, and then said to Teacher Ou, "Okay, I also plan to collect it well, and I'm going to send it home with some things in a few days." ”

Mr. Ou said that he was going to his storeroom, and when we left, remember to turn off the lights and lock the door, and then go to his own storeroom, and my graduation work is in that storeroom. Soon after Mr. Ou left, Hai Linlin and I also left the studio. When leaving, Hai Linlin tidied up all her painting tools, turned off the lights in the room, put on her windbreaker, and locked the door. She took the key to the studio with her, and handed it to the management office when she left the school.

There were a few students walking under the streetlights scattered around the campus, and Hai Linlin and I walked side by side.

"Are you quite familiar with Teacher Ou?" said Hai Linlin, "It's rare, Teacher Ou never seems to have remembered the names of his students." ”

"Well, it's okay. I said, "I don't know why he was so impressed with me." ”

As I was about to get to the door of her dormitory, I asked her, "When will you make the rest of the changes to that painting?"

"Just for a few days. She said, "I'll go to the English cram school one night when there's no class." ”

"I'll go and say hello to me. I said.

I was very nervous when I asked this, I was very worried that she didn't want me to be next to her at the end of the closing stage, but my request has already been said, and it is difficult for her to say no, and it is very difficult to refuse a person's request in this situation, and it is difficult to make any excuse. Because of this, I fear that my request will put her in a difficult position. I was also prepared that if she rejected me, even if it was a very blunt refusal, I would never have any doubts or sadness, I believe it was just her habit of painting.

She nodded gently at me, "Okay, no problem. Call you when the time comes. It's not early, let's go back to the dormitory early, I'll go up first, goodbye. ”

I waved goodbye to her and watched her enter through the door of the dorm building and ascend the steps upstairs.
