Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life-Chapter 58 - He wanted her to sleep…. With…. Him?! (6)

Chapter 58 – He wanted her to sleep…. With…. Him?! (6)

“I am lacking in my foundation?”

That was what Luo Zheng hated to hear the most.

That was the sore spot inside him.

Gu Shishi merely smiled lightly and pointed at the peonies on his paper.

The flowers were all squished together like a sea of fire and exude a pressing aura.

But they were fundamentally wrong.

“The leaves seem to be easy, but they are difficult to master. First you must experience it and observe them in nature. The leaves grow in groups of 3-5 in various sizes; the petals have layers, some are the primary ones, others are secondary….

“You started drawing before you have that figured out, so when you looked at it closely, all the discrepancies became very obvious.

“Plus, we are talking about the techniques of hook, lift, pause, and file in painting and the way you handle them is not precise enough. While you don’t have to focus on the nitty gritty details when it comes to artistic conception, that’s not to say to just rush through everything…

“You must use both your eyes and your hand.”

“Starting today, practice using your paint brush for an hour a day, observing flowers for 30 mins. In three-months’ time, your peonies would go up an entire level.”

Using her fingers, Gu Shishi gestured the second closest wall from them.

“Then we will be able to look at it from 3-5 meters.”

Luo Zheng’s face turned from dark to pale, then from pale to dark.

She said the exact same thing as Old Man Huang.

This was about artistic conception, not sketching, but they all wanted him to go observe real flowers!

This is painting, not calligraphy, but they wanted him to practice using his paintbrush!

What a hassle!

He didn’t want to listen to any of these words back then.

But this woman said the exact same thing today.

“Do you know Huang Zhong? What is your relationship with him?”

Luo Zheng squinted his eyes in a threatening way.

“Eh? I don’t know who that is.”

Gu Shishi searched her memories but nothing came up.

He was probably never mentioned in the book.

“Pardon me. I have other students to tend to. Keep at it, you will get there.”

Gu Shishi thought about it for a second and finally gave him an encouraging smile.

This was an art school after all.

Luo Zheng gritted his teeth so hard he could crush them.

His purpose was to trick her, but instead, he got a lecture from her straight to his face!

Have him practice for three months, then his work could be looked at from 5 meters away?!

His face was burning up.

He stood up abruptly.

“Dear, just ignore….”

Zhao Xian squeezed his hand.

“Go away!”

Luo Zheng threw her hand away in anger.

Zhao Xian was so angry she was shaking.

Luo Zheng, too, was gritting his teeth.

“Awesome. Just awesome. Gu Shishi, then you paint one to show me!”

“Eh? You know my name?”

Gu Shishi paused for a second.

Then she shook her head without thinking.

“I am not your instructor, and I have other students to tend to.”

Having said that, she didn’t care who he was but turned and walked to a student near her to address his questions.

Luo Zheng slammed his palm forcefully down on the table.

Then he walked with large steps to Store Manager Liu Li.

“I want to take Gu Shishi’s class! Sign me up now!”

Gu Shishi turned and looked at him in surprise.

Luo Zheng snickered, “How much is a lesson with her? $300? I will take all of her time this month!”

Gu Shishi didn’t think he’d be that persistent.

Luo Zheng was quickly brought in front of Gu Shishi by the helpless-looking shop manager.

“Shishi, starting at 3 PM, he will be your student.”

Luo Zheng laughed out loud.

One could see the mockery in his eyes.

Three o’clock came quickly. Even though Zhao Xian had almost ripped the paper in front of her into pieces, there was nothing she could do to stop him from taking Gu Shishi’s lessons.

“You are quite persistent,” praised Gu Shishi with a smile.

Luo Zheng snickered with his eyes squinted and threw the paintbrush over, “Now, you draw and show me!”
