Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qi Yuan slept for a day and a night. She felt that she had slept too long and her head was a little hot.

She splashed cold water on her face to clear her head.

Her stomach clenched a little. Maybe she was too hungry to eat anything.

She simply changed her clothes and went out.

After the rain, the old part of town had a wet, bleak, dilapidated look.

One could only wonder what the people in the old city had heard from Junshan the previous day.

The way they looked at Qi Yuan had become extremely friendly, completely treating Qi Yuan as one of their own.

Someone even greeted Qi Yuan this morning. “Morning!”

Qi Yuan was a little surprised, but she still replied gently, “Morning.”

… .

**Chinese Arts Academy**

Today’s school celebration was lively.

As there were many famous people invited to visit the exhibition areas of the various majors, the students all worked hard to perform.

The crowd was the biggest at the Painting Institute.

This was because Li Hongjun was here.

This person was more important than all the famous people present today combined.

Many students came because of his reputation. Even those who were not from the Painting Department rushed to the Painting Institute.

After all, the ability to see such a big shot was usually rare. If one was lucky, he might even be able to talk to the big shot.

At this moment, Li Hongjun was standing in front of a painting, examining it for a long time.

No student dared to disturb him so everyone just watched quietly. The master was looking at someone’s painting.

Then they all saw the signature on the painting. Qi Yanran.

Immediately, everyone looked at the beautiful and outstanding Qi Yanran enviously. It was as expected of the top student in the Chinese Arts Academy, as expected of the school belle.

Qi Yanran almost held her breath.

After looking at it for a long time, Li Hongjun asked, “Who painted this painting?”

These were Li Hongjun’s first words at the Painting Institute.

What it meant was that the painting had caught Li Hongjun’s eye.

Qi Yanran was wearing a golden gown, and her hair was tied up high, making her look noble. Surrounded by fellow students, she replied with uncontrollable joy, “Elder Li, this painting is my work.”

Li Hongjun looked at Qi Yanran’s dressing and temperament, then at this painting. He actually felt that it was a little strange.

He asked thoughtfully, “Is this painting of yours unfinished?”

Qi Yanran’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t dare to question him and could only bite the bullet and say, “Elder Li, you must be joking. This painting has already been completed. It must be because Yanran’s painting skills are rusty. I’ve embarrassed myself.”

Li Hongjun was famous for his bad temper. Seeing that his attitude was still kind, the students surrounding Qi Yanran also helped to explain.

“Elder Li, you can’t use your standards to watch us newbies in school.”

“Yanran is just being humble. Her work is already one of the best in our school.”

“Yes. Even the professor praised her paintings for being spiritual.”

Li Hongjun nodded. “Yes, there are emotions in this painting. It’s a good piece.”

As soon as she said this, almost everyone in the Painting Institute looked at Qi Yanran.

They were looking at Qi Yanran with admiration and envy.

Everyone knew that Elder Li never praised people easily.

It was one’s supreme honor to be recognized by the national painter Li Hongjun.

Qi Yanran tried her best to appear humble, but the smile on her face revealed her pride.

Her voice was a little sharp from excitement. “Elder Li, you flatter me. Yanran still needs to work harder in the future. You said that this painting is not completed yet, so can I privately ask you about this painting?”

Qi Yanran could tell that Li Hongjun was interested in this painting. Although her words were a little unruly, she had to seize the opportunity.

She wanted to take Li Hongjun as her master, but Li Hongjun never took in disciples.

If he could consult her privately, he would be able to obtain the status of an in-name student. In the future, her status in the Chinese painting world would be different.

Everyone knew that Li Hongjun never casually guided others’ paintings. However, Li Hongjun did not refuse immediately, as if he was considering.

There was hope!

Today, whether Li Hongjun agreed or not, Qi Yanran was in the limelight.

Qi Yanran’s breathing quickened, and the anticipation in her eyes intensified.

Li Hongjun was used to refusing, but this painting made him hesitate.

Nowadays, most people’s works focused on technical creation and lacked spiritual energy and emotions. Although he felt that the painting was incomplete, the emotions in the painting appeared to be very strong.

The suppressed despair that was revealed between the brush and ink even resonated with him. Although the image, temperament, and painting of the girl in front of him were very different, he thought the girl’s exaggerated arrogance might just be a front.

After considering it for a while, Li Hongjun said, “You can…”

Before he could finish, Li Hongjun suddenly stopped and looked at the entrance of the Painting Faculty

A girl had just broken in.

Everyone was wearing grand gowns and bright makeup.

And this girl was only wearing a simple white dress. She didn’t have any makeup on, and there wasn’t a single piece of jewelry on her. She only looked pale.

It was as if a drop of pure white paint had fallen into a large patch of mixed colors.

She seemed out of place, yet everyone’s attention was on her.

Qi Yuan arrived.

Of course, Li Hongjun was not looking at Qi Yuan’s appearance. He just felt that this girl was too similar to the soul in the painting, making him subconsciously stop talking.
