Chapter 269 267. Hands-on Teaching

In the clean and tidy lounge, the light was a bit dim, only a small spotlight shone down from the ceiling, and the cone-shaped aperture formed a funnel on the wall.

Li Lizhen was sitting on the sofa, and the beautiful light from the spotlight shone on her body, forming a beautiful halo, which looked extraordinarily holy and pure.

It’s just that Li Lizhen’s current dress has nothing to do with holiness. Chen Li’an loves this kind of contradictory contrast and conflict. After throwing the clothes scattered on the ground aside, he holds Li Lizhen’s hand to discuss why religious paintings use The most primitive state of the human body is considered holy.
After intense discussions, it often takes a short break to regain his thoughts. It took Chen Li'an a long time to recover from the shock just now.

Looking at Li Lizhen who was still empty, Chen Li'an suddenly understood the meaning of a word.

Unrestrained girl. Li Li is really a bold and unrestrained girl, unrestrained and unrestrained.

However, this kind of boldness will only appear in certain situations. On weekdays, when Li Lizhen and Chen Li'an are together, she still has an inexplicable sense of inferiority in her heart, and she is a little cautious in speaking and doing things.

Chen Li'an likes the current Li Lizhen more than usual, maybe this time is the real her.

After Chen Li'an rested for a while, he stood up and found a dry towel to wipe off the water stains on Li Lizhen's body.

After wiping, Chen Li'an looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already a quarter past five, and there was still more than an hour before the time he and Zhou Huimin agreed upon.

There was still plenty of time, and Chen Li'an was not in a hurry to go there. Seeing that Li Lizhen had regained his senses, he had a tender moment with her, and said something that should be said at such a time.

Li Lizhen, who rested in Chen Li'an's arms for a long time, glanced at the time and sat up with her hands propped up, and said to him, "Didn't you still have an appointment? Do you want to go there earlier."

"Well, the time is almost up."

Chen Li'an stood up and put on his clothes. He looked at the water stains on the floor and then at Li Lizhen. Li Lizhen, who had just recovered, blushed immediately, and her legs that were close together couldn't help but twist back and forth.

"Don't look at it, I'll clean it later, if you look at it again, I won't let you go." Li Lizhen looked up at Chen Li'an, her cold eyes became hot again.

Chen Li'an coughed and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Just pack up and go straight away. I'll contact you later when I have time."

"Hmm..." Li Lizhen's voice sounded somewhat disappointed, but she wasn't complaining at all. She said it was love, so don't have so many extravagant hopes.

Chen Li'an and Li Lizhen chatted for a few more words before leaving the lounge and went straight to the address Zhou Huimin gave him. It was neither a restaurant nor a studio, but went directly to her home.

Chen Li'an was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect to go directly to her house to look at the paintings. He wondered if he could have a meal. He is very hungry now, and he has exhausted a lot of energy just now.

Zhou Huimin also only started to be obsessed with painting this year, maybe because he has half retired and has nothing to do, but he is still very talented.

Zhou Huimin's home is beautifully decorated, like the Italian minimalist style that became popular later on. Many furniture have a sense of design and a warm feeling.

Chen Li'an quite liked this style, but Zhou Huimin had attracted his attention at the moment.

Under the simple and loose home clothes, the two slender and straight legs are wearing white long cotton socks. They are very beautiful under the light, playful yet sexy.

Chen Li'an really wanted to take a few more glances, but that was too impolite, so he had no choice but to look away.

Zhou Huimin's hair was just clipped casually with hair clips, and the slightly curly long hair was scattered on the side of her face, which looked extraordinarily gentle and charming, just like the perfect wife imagined by most men.

Zhou Huimin paid a little attention to her "casual" dressing tonight. In the past two days, she has watched all of Chen Li'an's movies, and she can still see news about him in the newspaper every day. She has feelings for Chen Li'an in her heart. Then understand a little bit.

For example, he likes Wang Zuxian, who has long legs. For example, he played the foot-loving hero in Nanjing's Christ very well.
These were enough for Zhou Huimin to see some of Chen Li'an's hobbies, otherwise he wouldn't be dressed like this today.

Although Zhou Huimin is said to be the head of the jade girl, but that is just a packaged character design, and she is not stupid and sweet.

Seeing Chen Li'an's reaction now, Zhou Huimin's mouth curled into a faint smile. She liked Chen Li'an's face, and she was also an artist. Although she had only met him a few times, she was full of affection.

After all, she is prettier than Li Ming, which woman would not like it.

Zhou Huimin looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Do you want to eat something? But I can only cook wonton noodles, so don't be disgusted."

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "No, the wanton noodles are very good."

More than ten minutes later, the two sat at the dining table eating wonton noodles and chatting casually.

Not long after the two finished eating, they went to see Zhou Huimin's painting, a gouache painting of a landscape that was not yet finished.

The colors are beautifully used, and the overall color matching is also very harmonious, which looks very comfortable.

But the only downside was that there was too much thick paint. Chen Li'an picked up the spatula and lightly touched the accumulated paint on the drawing paper. He was relieved to find that it hadn't solidified yet.

"Is the painting not good?" Zhou Huimin looked at Chen Li'an and asked.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said: "The painting is very good, but it's a bit too thick and looks stuffy, and it would be better to make it thinner. It would be better to add a little water when coloring."

Zhou Huimin said with some annoyance: "Then what should I do now, the paint has already been applied so thickly."

"Just adjust it, scrape off the top layer of paint, and paint again." Chen Li'an shook the scraper in his hand and said, "Can I do it?"

"Okay, I'm too happy to have you, a master, change the painting for me." Zhou Huimin said with a smile, her tone was a little playful, and she moved slightly closer to Chen Li'an.

The tip of Chen Li'an's nose was immediately surrounded by a faint fragrance, and the spatula raised in his hand paused in mid-air.

Chen Li'an turned his head slightly, took a spatula to seriously rework her drawing, and blocked all the messy thoughts in his mind.

Zhou Huimin glanced at Chen Li'an's profile in surprise, and seeing his concentration, he felt even more fond of him.

After a while, Chen Li'an scraped off a layer of thick paint on the painting, put the scraper into a bucket of water and washed it, and then said: "You start to color again, and I will teach you how to paint."

Zhou Huimin responded, picked up the palette and started toning, but he was a little uncertain when adding water, so he turned to look at Chen Li'an and asked, "How much water to add?"

"A little bit is fine, not too much, it's enough to moisten the paint." Chen Li'an explained in detail: "Adding water is mainly to increase the brightness of the color, and the color will be more vivid, but not too much, otherwise it will be too much." It would be too transparent."

Zhou Huimin nodded after listening, dipped a brush in some water and began to color.

Sitting beside him, Chen Li'an watched quietly, and suddenly thought of the scene when he and Bai Qing were learning to paint, and at that time, he was just as good as Zhou Huimin.

However, I am still much more talented than Zhou Huimin, most of the time I am self-taught, and I can draw inferences from one instance.

Zhou Huimin quickly finished adjusting the paints, picked up the paintbrush and started to paint again. Chen Li watched quietly for a while before he couldn't hold back and said, "You can change to a smaller brush, do you have a fan-shaped pen? Lighter and more breathable."

"No. Am I painting too heavily, but I can't control the strength of my strokes." Zhou Huimin looked at Chen Li'an for help.

Chen Li'an frowned slightly. This was his first time teaching someone how to draw. Unexpectedly, Zhou Huimin didn't even have a good foundation, but she has a good sense of color and good modeling ability, she doesn't look like a pure novice.

Chen Li'an glanced at her suspiciously, then reached out to take the pen in her hand, showed her a demonstration and said: "Sweep over, the front is heavy and the back is light, and when you lift the pen, pick it up."

Holding the palette, Zhou Huimin looked at Chen Li'an without blinking, feeling that Chen Li'an was exactly the same as the painter and artist she imagined at this time.

"Your paintings are much prettier than mine." Zhou Huimin looked at the strokes drawn by Chen Li'an on the drawing paper, and felt that the flowers he had drawn with a few strokes were much more beautiful than his own, with a kind of shyness waiting to let go a feeling of.

It was the first time for Zhou Huimin to feel the gap between himself and a professional painter so intuitively, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Chen Li'an drew a few more strokes before returning the pen to Zhou Huimin and said, "You have a try, just follow what I just said."

"it is good."

Zhou Huimin took a deep breath, picked up the brush and tried a few times following Chen Li'an's technique, her beautiful eyebrows could not help but frown.

It seems that the painting is even worse...

Chen Li'an couldn't help but said: "Wrist, use the animation pen on the wrist, don't use the sketching method, the forearm can't be drawn with the big arm."

Zhou Huimin froze for a moment, tried to move her wrist, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Is that so?"

"No, that's right..." Chen Li'an raised his hand to hold Zhou Huimin's as he spoke.

The moment Chen Li'an's warm hand grasped Zhou Huimin's palm, she shrank subconsciously, and the smooth back of her hand slid against Chen Li'an's palm.

The greasy touch made Chen Li'an react, he let go of Zhou Huimin's hand and said, "Sorry, it's like this, when the wrist is down..."

Zhou Huimin couldn't help laughing when she saw Chen Li'an withdrawing his hand to demonstrate earnestly, his round eyes became crescents.

He is really as Li Lizhen said, a gentle and gentlemanly person.

Zhou Huimin suddenly raised his wrist and put it in Chen Li'an's hand and said, "I don't understand you like this, please teach me."

Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Zhou Huimin, then held her hand and said, "Okay."

Under the warm light, two people sat side by side, practicing again and again in mid-air with their brushes in hand, a warm and romantic atmosphere spread quietly.
On the other side of the Xiangjiang River, Ji Fa was working overtime with Wang Zuxian and the others at this time. After finishing the report at hand, Ji Fa couldn't help but stretched her waist and looked at Wang Zuxian and asked, "How are you doing this?" If you don't go back later, will Chen Li'an wait anxiously?"

Wang Zuxian looked at Ji Fa with her head tilted and said, "He said he has an appointment tonight, and he might go back later. It shouldn't be over yet."

Ji Fa suddenly thought of the woman who chatted with Chen Li'an that day, looked at Wang Zuxian and asked, "Who did he date?"

"A painter, I don't know the details." Wang Zuxian said while sorting out the documents: "Li'an didn't tell me so clearly, and I didn't ask."

Ji Fa looked at Wang Zuxian and wondered if she didn't ask on purpose. With Chen Li'an's flirtatious personality, even the painter he was dating was probably a beautiful woman, otherwise he wouldn't have dated until the evening.

It should be the woman who discussed watercolor with Chen Li'an that day, she looks very pure, she is the kind that Chen Li'an likes.

"Then have you thought about marrying him?" Ji Fa asked gossip again.

Wang Zuxian was stunned for a while before saying: "I thought about it before, but now I don't want to."

Ji Fa asked again, "Why?"

A trace of helplessness flashed in Wang Zuxian's eyes, and then said lightly: "There is no reason, I just don't want to."

Seeing Wang Zuxian like this, Ji Fa couldn't help sighing softly, people like Chen Li'an are really the natural enemy of women!

Fortunately, she didn't think about putting any emotion into it, otherwise she would be like Wang Zuxian now.

Ji Fa couldn't help but think of Bai Qing. She seemed to have figured it out now, and would no longer dream of capturing Chen Li'an one day.

As a man, unless you take the initiative to deliver it to your door, don't try to catch his heart.

More than an hour later, Wang Zuxian returned home. As soon as she opened the door and went in, she saw that the lights on the second floor were on, and there was still a box of packed raw porridge on the dining table on the first floor.

From the bathroom on the second floor, there was the sound of pattering water and Chen Li'an humming, it sounded like he was in a good mood.

Wang Zuxian also had a faint smile on her face, feeling that this is not bad now, and whether she gets married or not is actually not that important, and it has no effect other than a piece of paper.

Not long after, Chen Li'an's surprised voice came from the bathroom.

"You're back, are you tired? Slide up carefully."

"I'm so tired today, I want to wash with you, I want you to give me a massage."

"Thank you for your hard work, you want a full set, my big star!"

"It depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will reward you."

"Guaranteed to satisfy you!"
