After a whole day of classes, Araki Haku's mind always lingered with one thing - 6 million.

In Bai Xue's memory, he never seemed to be bothered by money. His family was originally a wealthy family, so he had the financial resources to support him to contact famous painters and artists from all over the world, so that he could go to the best art schools in Europe and the United States for further study.

But Araki Haku has always been troubled by money, and he has never experienced what life is like without poverty.

Araki Haku's father, Hiroshi Araki, is a gambler and a drunkard, and he beats his wife and children when he has nothing to do. He rarely takes money home unless he wins a lot of money. However, the so-called nine losses out of ten gambles and relying on gambling to support the family is obviously unrealistic. So most of the time, Megumi Araki is the one who raises this family.

Japanese society is very strange, and if it were in some other country, a husband like Hiroshi Araki would not be able to stand it for anyone. But in Japan, Araki Haku's mother was able to endure such a man for 20 years, and she did not appeal to the court for divorce until he owed a loan shark and ran away.

However, the world is cruel, and if a person is too gentle with others, the more she will be hurt.

Araki Haku's mother is undoubtedly the most gentle woman in the world, so she can only lie in a hospital bed now, surrounded by the smell of disinfected water and boundless weakness.

Araki Haku had never only brought her good news, so the mother had no idea about the dangers her children were facing.

Megumi Araki was worried about her children, but she could only look at the sky outside the window in a daze. A bird suddenly leapt from the windowsill of her hospital room, spread its thin wings, and flew into the vast expanse of the sky.

The scenery along the way flashed through the eyes of the bird, and it seemed to enjoy the feeling of flying in the sky like this.

When the fly was a little tired, it landed on the windowsill of a classroom.

In the classroom, a girl with long hair was drawing something in front of the drawing board, but Asuka didn't understand, it just tilted its head curiously.

When he opened the door of the art department, Araki Haku found that there was only one person in the entire painting room, and it was the head of their art department, Reiko Sawada, a third-year senpai.

Reiko Sawada has dark and flowing waist-length hair, and she looks more mature than the average high school girl, with a sexy tear mole growing in the corner of her eye.

The most attractive thing about her is her breasts, which are big enough to make most girls die of shame. But no one knows that Reiko Sawada is not proud of this, in fact, she has always been troubled by her boobs.

Araki Bai walked into the classroom and greeted politely: "Senior sister." ”

Reiko Sawada nodded back at him and said, "Araki-kun, you're here." ”

Araki Shiro walked up behind Reiko Sawada with her schoolbag and looked at the watercolor she was drawing.

The painting is clearly based on the school gate seen through the window, and the students leave in groups of three or five laughing, while Reiko Sawada brings this picture to life. Even from the perspective of Araki Shiro's current professional painter, Reiko Sawada's painting skills are remarkable.

Araki Bai couldn't help but praise: "Senior sister, your painting skills have improved again." ”

Reiko Sawada was also not humble and said: "There is an old Chinese saying that if you sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." This is especially true for painting. ”

She paused, then said, "Araki-kun, you are one of the few truly talented people in our department, but I haven't seen you practice here for a long time. ”

Reiko Sawada didn't know what happened to Araki Bai, she just thought that Araki Bai, like other boys, didn't come to the ministry to report because she was playful.

Looking at the slightly reproachful eyes of the senior sister, Araki Bai only had a helpless wry smile in his heart.

He couldn't bear to be disappointed by his senior sister, so he said, "Senior sister, in fact, I was busy with family affairs, so I left early." However, I didn't give up painting, and I also had time to practice during this time, and my level should have improved. ”

Reiko Sawada was a little unconvinced, and said, "Araki, I won't blame you even if you regress, but you shouldn't lie to me. ”

Araki Bai put down his schoolbag, took a sketchpad and sat next to Reiko Sawada, and said, "Senior sister, I'll draw a picture here on the spot, you can help me taste it." ”

Reiko Sawada nodded.

Araki Hakuro took a pencil, looked at the students downstairs who had left the school for a few seconds, and then drew quickly with a stroke of the pen.

Even though Reiko Sawada knew that Araki Bai was really talented in painting, he was drawing too fast at this time.

You know, although the scenery around the school gate is still life, Araki Hakuro may have painted it more than once. But those students are all able to move, which brings unimaginable difficulty to painting, which requires strong memory and brain skills.

However, the picture shown in front of Reiko Sawada is no different from the picture she saw just now, the students in the painting are vivid, and even the smiles on their faces and the strange expressions are restored by Araki Bai.

Reiko Sawada didn't feel distracted, and her body accidentally leaned on Araki Bai's body.

Feeling the softness on his arm, Araki Haku's hand shook carelessly, and suddenly drew a long line on the painting that was about to be completed.

Reiko Sawada naturally felt it, and her face immediately turned red. After retreating a little distance, Reiko Sawada pretended to be okay and said, "Araki-kun, it seems that you are not lying, your sketching ability has improved a lot compared to before." ”

Araki Bai was also a little uncomfortable, he touched his head and smiled: "Senior sister, you have won the award." ”

Afterwards, the two sat in their respective chairs and were silent, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Araki Bai suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said, "Senior sister, I actually came here to ask you something. ”

Reiko Sawada smiled and said, "If it's painting skills, I can't seem to guide you, and your skills have surpassed me." ”

Araki Bai shook his head and said, "I wanted to ask you, do you know any rich people in Tokyo who know how to appreciate art and collect excellent paintings?" ”

Reiko Sawada wondered, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Araki Hakudo: "Actually, I have a painting in my hand, although this painting was painted by an unknown artist, but it is a rare masterpiece. Recently my mother was hospitalized and I wanted to exchange it for some money. ”

Reiko Sawada asked with concern, "Is your mother okay?" ”

Araki Bai said: "Everything is fine, as long as you get proper treatment, you should be able to recover." ”

Reiko Sawada thought about it for a while and said, "I do know some rich people who like to collect excellent paintings, but these people don't collect all paintings, and yours is a painting by an unknown artist......

Araki Bai said: "Believe me, if you have seen this painting, you will definitely be impressed, so I want to find a rich man who knows how to appreciate." ”

Reiko Sawada couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What kind of painting is it that makes you admire it like this?" ”

Araki Hakudao: "If you want to see it, I can show it to you then." ”

Reiko Sawada nodded and said, "My mother works at the Tokyo Museum, and she is friends with several wealthy people who are obsessed with art, so if your painting is really so good, I can recommend it to my mother and ask her to help sell it." The premise is that your drawing is really good. ”

Araki Hakumichi: "Do you know what type of paintings those rich people like the most? ”

Reiko Sawada said, "There are all kinds of genres, but my favorite is oil painting. ”

Araki Hakuro smiled and said, "Great, my painting happens to be an oil painting." ”

Reiko Sawada also smiled and said, "It's the weekend in two days, you can bring that painting to me." My family lives near Ikebukuro Station, and you get off the train in Ikebukuro, and I'll pick you up. ”

After agreeing on a time with his senior sister, Araki Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a little worried about whether he could sell his paintings, he was more confident in himself.

The paintings he paints must be masterpieces that people can't refuse.

Only those who have always held this belief in painting can stand at the top of the world's painting forest.
