Chapter 146: Mona's Portfolio Comments
"Gu Weijing ......"
Mona was momentarily sad, but soon, she banished the name from her mind.
What is in the past is in the past.
Now that she has made up her mind, she will no longer have anything to do with each other's lives, just like the message she sent to the boy ruthlessly.
Everyone is good to get together and disperse, there is no need to look back, and entanglement is not beneficial to either party.
"Wow, it looks great, can I get a cake?" Jerry's voice came from behind him, waking Mona out of a momentary slump.
Mona nodded, but did not refuse.
She opened the lid of the Lock lunch box and took out a delicate little cake carved with milkshakes, and set the rest aside for the students to pick up.
"Miss Sakai, [カツコ], Katsuko's Japanese spelling is written like this, help me see, is there a problem with the spelling?"
Mona handed the cupcake in her hand to Miss Sakai.
When this small cake is baked, the Japanese name of Katsuko is carved on the milkshake flower with pink food coloring.
She didn't take a special cooking class like Koukou. There are also servants brought from Mumbai who only make simple small cakes in the oven.
But Mona is very serious in whatever she does.
Whether it's baking cakes, dealing with interpersonal relationships, or managing the relationship between men and women, as long as she wants to do it, she will do it meticulously.
used to choose a suitable birthday gift for Gu Weijing.
It will not be inconvenient to return the gift to the other party because it is too valuable, nor will it appear too hasty and unintentional.
A few years ago, Mona deliberately took the time to learn how to carve cupcakes and write with coloring by following the tutorials of food bloggers on YouTube.
“MY LITTLE BOY FRIEND!” (My little boyfriend!) )
“BEST WISH!” (Best regards!) )
“SPECIAL DAY!” (Special birthday!) )
……
Whenever the other party celebrates their birthday, Mona will carefully bake a small plate of cupcakes filled with different and various blessings.
Sometimes,
The cake embryo will also be like the fortune cookies sold in the supermarket (note), and there will be one or two small pieces of paper or good luck coins with birthday wishes written in the middle, and each year has a different heart.
(NOTE: FORTUNE COOKIES, A VARIETY OF BISCUITS THAT WRAP DIFFERENT GREETINGS OR GOOD LUCK CARDS IN THE CENTER OF THE COOKIE, ARE VERY POPULAR IN WESTERN COUNTRIES.) )
This year, Mona no longer needs to bake cakes for anyone.
The skill of carving on the cake was used by her to please Miss Sakai by the way.
Mona looked up Miss Sakai's Japanese name on the Internet, and put a common Japanese blessing of "noble body and good health" in the sandwich in the center of the cake.
She felt that no matter how cold a girl was, she would be moved by such a heart.
It is also a natural thing to get closer to each other and even become friends.
Mona thinks her plan works.
In particular, according to her observations during this time, Miss Sakai is definitely not the kind of rich girl in school who likes to look at people with her nostrils.
Although this young lady doesn't like to talk, she is very cold about things other than painting.
But in fact, he is a very easy person to get along with, with a very good upbringing and a very soft personality.
Like a quiet flower cat, or a big soft doll, and Mrs. Sakai, who has sharp teeth and a mouth and likes to taunt people, is not at all like a mother and daughter.
In the improvement class, whoever asks her questions, she will answer seriously, the artistic level is really very high, and she is worthy of being a genius little painter who has almost killed almost all the juvenile awards in Dongying.
Being able to become a close friend with such a young lady, needless to say, the benefits of networking, Mona feels that it will be quite comfortable in itself.
It's worth putting your heart into the camp.
"Katsuko, will you try it? It's delicious. Mona said with a smile.
Mona considers herself to have had a lot of luck lately.
Not only was she able to successfully enter Mrs. Sakai's improvement class, but when she wanted to get closer to Miss Sakai.
Ms. Sakai's mood seems to be good today, too.
With the sensitivity of women, Mona found that Miss Sakai had rarely painted a light makeup this afternoon.
Katsuko Sakai, who has always been plain-faced, suddenly put on a light lipstick between her lips, and the whole person seems to be quite happy, and her right hand occasionally rubs the small bracelet on her wrist.
When I paint, the corners of my mouth are slightly upturned, and from time to time I hum a little tune softly.
Such a good mood is suitable for making friends.
"Miss Sandnu......"
While Mona was thinking about how to get closer to Miss Sakai, Katsuko Sakai was also quietly looking at this Gu Weijing...... Well, "good friends".
The facial features are exquisite, the skin is fair, and she is the blank of a little beauty.
What is even more rare is that he has a confident personality and is very bold in doing things for others. Maybe it's a little scheming, but if she's a boy, she might appreciate such a girl.
It's just that she doesn't like Mona very much.
Except for the thoughts of some little girls in their hearts.
Sakai Katsuko also heard that after Mona was recruited to the promotion class, in the face of her mother's inquiry, she immediately clarified the relationship between herself and Gu Weijing in a very cold tone.
She liked the answer and didn't like it.
It's like the baby you fancie, not only afraid that others will find out that he is good and rob you, but also hate the way others kick him away like garbage.
A girl's mind is always complicated.
In short, Katsuko Sakai really doesn't have a good impression of Mona.
Looking at the carefully baked cake handed over by Mona, Miss Sakai's mood cooled.
"Sorry, it's just me...... Don't want to eat sweets these days. ”
Sakai Katsuko has a gentle personality, even if she doesn't like Mona, she is not a girl who can hand gifts to her classmates in person, and throw her face.
She made up a quick excuse in her mind, and put the little cake back.
"You don't want sweets, you're controlling your weight, Katsuko, but you're in good shape." Mona had some regrets.
She thought for a while: "In this case, I can make some more cakes tomorrow, can I substitute sugar, or do I want a lighter ......"
"Thank you, Miss Sandenu, but don't bother, I don't."
Sakai Katsuko pursed her lips, coldly rejected the other party's kindness, turned her head and said lightly: "By the way, although I'm very sorry, you still call me by my last name and call me Miss Sakai." ”
With that, Katsuko Sakai turned around and left.
"Snort...... A cake wants to buy people, and a toad wants to eat swan meat. ”
I happened to pass by Marley and happened to see this scene.
He laughed out loud.
There are only two girls among the six students in the advanced class, but they don't have a good relationship with each other.
An honest girl like her, who can only draw well, doesn't like Mona the most like someone who is good at drilling.
She has a terrible figure and is ugly, how many years she has been at Dulwich College, she looks at a person like Mona who has a mediocre level of painting, and with the help of a beautiful face and her boyfriend, she is thriving in school.
Finally, God rewards hard work.
Before graduation, I met Mrs. Sakai who wanted to open an advanced class at school.,Finally, I was in the limelight.,As a result, Mona didn't know what to do with it.,Stuffed in.。
She had long been unhappy with Mona.
Boys with hormones are willing to brag about pretty young ladies. And the girls are intriguing and tearing each other apart, and Marley doesn't have to save face for Mona.
"Marley, do you have any opinions?" Mona glanced at Marley in annoyance.
She's not a master of tearing like Coco. But she's the president of the student council, the biggest official in the student body, and there's a way to get some of the little sluts on the Dulwich campus.
Just staring at you every day to check your attendance and hair, and arranging for you to clean the studio, many girls can't stand it.
"Cut, I'm graduating soon...... People don't look down on a poor girl like you at all, what's bullish. Marley was reluctant to get into a confrontation with the president of the girls' student council, avoiding the fierce Mona's eyes.
"Scheming, sycophant......" she muttered away.
Mona clutched the lunch box of the cake so hard that her fingertips turned a little white.
Marley's words stung her a little.
Is Miss Sakai disgusted with herself?
She recalled Gu Weijing's clean smiling face again in her mind, every time she picked up the cake in the past, Gu Weijing would eat it very seriously, and then seriously praised her craftsmanship.
If this cake was baked for Gu Weijing to eat, no matter whether it was delicious or not, he would definitely eat it very happily.
Regrettably,
Mona doesn't need a boyfriend who can boast about her good food.
What she needs is connections, help, and a better stage and life. Gu Weijing can't provide it, but Mrs. Sakai and Miss Sakai can.
So
Even if Katsuko Sakai showed cold indifference to her, she could only pretend that nothing had happened and continue to grit her teeth and smile.
Mona took the lunch box into her bag and opened the portfolio of her handwritten corrections by Mrs. Sakai.
Everyone's portfolio has been revised by Mrs. Sakai herself.
Almost everyone's paintings are full of criticisms, whether they are proportions, details of the brush, or inspiration.
Ask them to correct the comments again.
Even Miao Anwen, who has the best painting skills and painted 18 imitations of famous paintings by different masters in his works, was scolded by Mrs. Sakai for his lack of creativity.
She wanted to see how her portfolio was doing after being instructed by her private tutor.
Mona flipped through her half-finished portfolio,
As soon as I saw the "Self-Portrait" on her homepage, Professor Cruz had punched a huge cross with a red pen, as well as a comment about the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.
Put the cart before the horse!!!
Mona recognized the English proverb, "The carriage runs before the horse," which translates roughly to "putting the cart before the horse."
This is a common art criticism, but it is the worst kind.
Mona's face was a little bad.
The painting was the least likely to go wrong, and it was a line drawing that the graduate student at the Royal College of Art had spent a few weeks directing.
Or self-portraits, a subject that can never go wrong.
Mona was always happy with the painting.
Professor Cruz, however, gave such a bad review.
"How can this painting of mine be so bad in the eyes of the professor?"
Mona was a little incomprehensible.
She believed in Mrs. Sakai's artistic vision, but she was a little confused and confused, and she didn't know what the problem was.
Mona thought for a moment and walked over to Komatsu Taro, who was leaning against the window and looking down to play with his phone.
"Teacher Assistant, can I ask you what Mrs. Cruz's comment means?" Mona asked.
"It means...... Say you drew badly. ”
Komatsu Taro just glanced at Mona and shook his head impatiently.
He was texting Katsuko Sakai to ask the other party out to play, so he was not in the mood to teach the little girl to draw.
"I'm sorry, teacher, can you tell me how to correct it?" Mona pleaded.
"It's almost time for class to end, let's talk about it next time." Komatsu Taro waved his hand.
"However, next time Professor Cruz asks us to hand in the revised draft......
"Don't pester me, don't you understand the words, I said I'll talk about it next time." Komatsu-senpai impatiently shook off Mona's entanglement and walked to Mrs. Sakai, who was packing up her things.
"Auntie, Katsuko specially painted makeup for me today, it's so beautiful." Komatsu said.
"For you—"
Mrs. Sakai paused as she was arranging her handbag, glanced at Komatsutaro, and then said meaninglessly, "Probably." ”
"Komatsu-kun, girls are to chase, you have to find a way to make her happy, find a way to have a common language, and find a way to make her like you. You're a few years older than Katsuko, and you're also a veteran of the love scene. ”
After a pause for a few seconds, looking at Komatsu-san, who thought of herself as good and jubilant, Mrs. Sakai couldn't help but say.
"Auntie, this ......" Komatsu Taro's face turned red.
"Okay, you don't have to hide it in front of me, as long as you are clean and clean now, Katsuko is alone, and I have no intention of pursuing the absurdity before."
Mrs. Sakai knocked Komatsu for a few words before she said with some pity: "I'm just reminding you, a girl like Katsuko, if you don't bother to chase her, she may have to run away." ”
Ran away?
Komatsu Taro always felt that Mrs. Sakai had something to say, which made him feel that it was not good.
"What do I need to do to please Katsuko?"
"It's your business." Mrs. Sakai stopped talking, stepped on her high heels, and walked out of the classroom.
"Professor, could you please wait a minute, I want to take a few minutes of your time." Mona waited at the door of the classroom.
She wanted to figure out what was wrong with her work.
Mrs. Sakai hesitated for a moment and looked at her watch.
"The hotel car has already come to pick me up, I'll give you three minutes, what's the problem?" Mrs. Sakai has a bad temper, but she is quite responsible for teaching.
Not to mention anything else, a serious student like Mona has a limited level, but she will not be annoyed by the teacher.
"I don't quite understand what you say about my Self-Portrait."
Mona handed over her portfolio.
"Comments?"
Mrs. Sakai taps Mona's portfolio with her fingertips.
"Miss Sandnu, isn't my comment clearly written on it, you are painting too much of the original, you are painting a self-portrait? Or a fashion show? What is the key to the portrait, it must be to return to the character. ”
"You're a person, you're not a clothes rack." Mrs. Sakai criticized.
