Almighty painter

Chapter 444 Companion

Since it is not difficult to collect the five "color-enhancing" works, it is a process of exercising your thinking ability.

It is very unnecessary to complete a task just for the sake of completing it.

Gu Weijing put the finished landscape painting by the window to dry.

After leaving a brief note, he packed up his things and left the office.

"The key is still the finishing touch. As long as you skillfully find the core trick of a painting, the task will be mostly completed."

Thoughts swirled in Gu Weijing's mind.

"It's more like a puzzle game." He sighed.

Gu Weijing's paintings have a good sense of space.

This used to be the main reason why Brother Hao admired him so much in the first place.

Gu Weijing is not only a good young man who copied fake paintings and followed Brother Hao to become popular and popular.

He was simply thinking wildly while running and was too distracted...

She wore a quick-drying pink long-sleeved tracksuit with a fat Garfield cat on it.

Only by reading the entire painting accurately, studying the thoughts of all the creators, and looking down at the map of the entire maze from a very high altitude can we find the few paths leading to the ultimate potential of the work.

Some combinations of pen and ink can bloom gorgeous flowers on ordinary paper, while some combinations can only produce out-of-place evil results, cutting the picture into pieces and making it a mess.

Only constant research.

Every stroke creates new possibilities for the work.

"I'm a little short of breath, not serious, but I just worked hard at painting all afternoon today, so I'm a little tired... How about I be a little lazy today and stop running away?"

When Gu Weijing saw a light figure running by from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but think that some people were really filled with inexhaustible energy from head to toe.

To find the core of the pulse is to unravel the composition of a painting in your mind bit by bit.

It's like a swordsman sealing his throat with his sword.

Classmate Xiao Gu quietly retreated in his heart.

For example, the clouds on the sky canopy, and the mottled and weathered colors on Professor Vattle's landscape paintings.

The running shoes came into contact with the plastic track, and the almost imperceptible sound of brisk footsteps sounded behind him.

Finally, we walk on these roads composed of colorful paints, dots and lines, and reach the core of the temple.

The process of completing the system task at this moment once again allowed him to find some of the feelings he had when he was a child.

As long as the work is completely completed.

With serious deliberation and thinking, you can achieve pavilions and palaces that illuminate some shallow places and add luster to your work.

Gu Weijing tapped on his earphones, paused the English podcast that was playing on his phone, and gently pressed his slightly tingling right abdomen with his hand.

The playful girl with her hair braided into a classic half-crown bun ran past him in a hurry.

Other children scratched their heads in front of educational toys in the kindergarten.

Lost his temper.

Gu Weijing only needed to think quietly for a moment, and with a slight push or tap, the entire wooden tenon structure or the connected iron pieces would fall apart.

But legendary skill rewards should be obtained with great effort.

Luban Suo only has six mortise and tenon wooden strips interlaced horizontally and vertically.

There is a high probability that it will be a dead end.

His excellent spatial imagination makes him a good player in decryption games such as Luban Lock, Kongming Lock, and Jiulianhuan.

Garfield's big face, supported by his beautiful bulging breasts, looks surprisingly cute.

Gu Weijing may not have reached the advanced state of "being happy when seeing difficulties".

Either good or bad.

Gu Weijing couldn't help but frowned as he thought about it.

The numerous possibilities created by these brush strokes are like those magical staircases in Hogwarts that are constantly intertwined and combined in fantasy novels.

"Clap clap clap..."

The Nine Rings are just a bunch of bright silver metal rings hanging together.

once.

A painting contains hundreds of brushstrokes, and endless combinations of paints create endless combination possibilities.

The most complex nine-link chain in the world only requires 296 fixed steps to completely solve it.

At the end of the long staircase there were only sealed walls and empty curtains.

It's not like he finds it difficult.

Drawing is the most amazing set of spatial educational toys in the world.

Even without calculating the gains and losses, the process of gradually exploring the mysteries of the work is quite interesting for Gu Weijing.

Gu Weijing held the candlestick "Skills" in the dark, randomly picked a path paved by the brushstrokes he saw and walked down it.

Wearing yoga pants of the same color underneath.

The shape of the bone-flesh-yunting's calves is well-modified and outlined.

A wind-proof light blue short shirt was tied around the girl's waist, covering her thighs with equally soft lines and her waist and hips that shocked boys.

She wore a wide pink hairband on her head, and a strand of disobedient soft hair emerged from the restraints of the hairband, like a trembling tail standing high on the side of the coffee cat pattern on quick-drying clothes. .

No need to look at the face.

Gu Weijing knew who this was.

Know a woman by smell.

Distinguish color and know color.

They are required to bring their own sportswear to school.

Although the requirements for sportswear in school regulations are far more relaxed than those for regular clothes, Dulwich College is far from going as far as Eton and Harrow, which require their "little gentlemen" to wear semi-formal shirts for sports activities and so frantically pursue the so-called aristocratic style. .

The school gives male and female students a certain amount of choice.

Maybe it's powdered from head to toe, and it can hold down the clothes on your body, making you look youthful and charming.

A girl who doesn't look like a big pink jumping bunny.

After searching all over the school, only Kou Kou was found.

Ok.

Sometimes, Kou Kou does look like a big rabbit jumping around in the tree-lined campus, but in a quirky and cute way.

The big squishy rabbit ran briskly past him.

Didn't run far.

She turned around a few meters in front of her and started jogging backwards. A pair of dark eyes under her upturned eyebrows looked like the ripples of water in the paddy fields revealed after the wind blew through them.

Staring at him brightly.

"Coco? hello~"

Gu Weijing nodded to Kou Kou and wanted to say hello. "By the way, there's something I should do -"

"Shhh."

Kou Kou puffed up her cheeks, raised her fingers and pulled them between her lips, making a cartoon gesture of muting her voice.

"Close your mouth and inhale only through your nose. Extend the intervals between breaths. Take two or three steps and exhale, and run two or three steps and inhale. Keep it consistent. Usually I prefer to keep the rhythm of each inhalation on the right. On your feet, it depends on what rhythm you are more comfortable with."

Koko blinked.

"Follow the pace, sister will take you running."

After saying that, the girl turned around and ran forward briskly without waiting for Gu Weijing to react.

Gu Weijing stayed there for a few seconds and followed without saying a word.

The moment I saw Kou Kou.

Gu Weijing recalled in his mind what Mr. Sloth said to him last weekend.

[Sometimes, it seems silly to give up an entire forest for a tree. But a flower tree that will always bloom just for you in spring, summer, autumn and winter is also a style that those prodigals in the flowers can never touch...]

[There is never a perfect choice in the world, even if you want it... the important thing is to make a brave choice and understand what is most important to you. 】

【…】

The extremely philosophical words of Mr. Sloth, the master of emotions, continued to flow through his heart.

"It's time to get everything sorted."

Gu Weijing said to himself.

"After running, tell me everything you need to say clearly."

Gu Weijing made up his mind and took steps to keep up with Kou Kou in front.

Then he found out a little embarrassed.

This is not easy.

Kou Kou looks like a girl with thick lines and a carefree look.

Actually.

Gu Weijing understood very well that Kou Kou's thoughts were much more delicate and intelligent than many people imagined.

She seemed to have a gift for capturing the emotions in everyone.

He grasped the complicated look on Gu Weijing's body very accurately, and deliberately controlled the distance between the two people, not wanting him to speak.

Gu Weijing ran fast, and Kou Kou led him fast.

Gu Weijing could no longer run, so Kou Kou slowed down.

Boys have an inherent physical advantage over girls in sports.

But that also depends on who is with whom.

Gu Weijing is not fat.

His physical strength is definitely better than that of the nerds at school, but it is limited. Adhering to morning exercises can only make him pass the physical education exam.

A girl like Kou Kou who has been singing, dancing and practicing dancing since she was a child can beat him twice in terms of physical ability.

Kou Kou said she would take him away.

The entire running rhythm was firmly under Kou Kou's control.

a circle.

Two laps.

Three laps.

……

Neither far nor close, there was always a distance of about 5 meters between the two people.

Gu Wei had adjusted his breathing, but he was about to stop breathing again while running. When he was about to fall down from exhaustion, the flesh-pink figure appeared in front of him again.

"I used to run with my mother. My mother used to do musicals. I heard that when she was a child, my grandfather was a small businessman, and the family situation was not bad. To be honest, I always felt that my father was I married my mother, to a certain extent, because my grandfather’s family had money and could help him with his career.”

"But it doesn't matter, it's not a purely money-oriented marriage. The relationship between the two of them is okay. At least my parents are very good to me. Even though my aunt is pregnant again, my father is still very good to me. Auntie He is also very cautious in front of me, fearing that I may have opinions in my heart."

Kou Kou took the initiative to slow down her pace and suddenly spoke first.

Gu Weijing was out of breath from running and took two deep breaths.

With the influx of fresh air, her slightly confused brain finally realized that the aunt in Kou Kou's mouth refers to her stepmother.

The topic suddenly turned to some serious family issues.

Gu Weijing didn't know how to interface.

I could only say "hmm" softly.

"In those days, there were definitely no good places to learn music, singing and dancing in Myanmar. My mother actually spent more than half of her time in Thailand. In the 1990s, Thailand was one of the so-called four little tigers in Asia. Eight years before the financial crisis, it was developing rapidly and there were professional art schools. Before giving birth to me, she almost had the opportunity to study abroad at the Takarazuka Theater Company in Japan. It had always been one of her dreams. But at that time, I My grandfather’s business went bankrupt, so he didn’t have the money to bribe the examiners at the school to review the quota, and he couldn’t afford the expenses for her to pursue her dream.”

Kou Kou was half a body ahead of Gu Weijing and ran slowly.

The sound dissipated in the oncoming wind.

"She became crazy later, and this may be a big part of the reason. This is what adults told me. Anyway, since I started remembering when I was a child, my mother has always had that nagging look, a bit like Mrs. Xianglin , spending several hours every day immersed in the fantasy of being a leading actress in a theater. Even if there is no decent theater company within a hundred kilometers of our home.”

"The largest theater in the city was built by the British in 1892. It is older than my grandfather's grandfather."

"But she would also start to announce that she was preparing for performances inexplicably, and she would often take me running in the park, saying that an outstanding performer must maintain extremely regular physical training."

"I still remember the running program my mother asked me to do every weekend when I was a child. 30 minutes of constant speed running, no speed required, but the heart rate was required to be controlled at about 150 beats/min. 12 minutes of variable speed jogging, with the heart rate between 120 and 170 beats/min. Between times. Next is running with legs raised, sideways running, and back kicking..."

"At that time, I would often run into the night, and my whole body would be sunburned and covered with dust."

Gu Weijing imagined it in his mind.

Under the dim, deserted street lights of a dilapidated city park, a crazy woman ran past with a little girl wrapped in sunshine and dust, preparing for an imaginary performance scene that did not exist.

The entire scene is like a silent shot from an old-fashioned, yellowed film reel.

It's a bit weird.

Even more profoundly poignant.

"After running, we would go to a small shop on the street to eat a bowl of fried chicken cutlet rice. My mother wouldn't eat it, so she would watch me finish it. That was the only time a week that her heart could touch the high oil. An indulgent day of high-salt junk food, a habit she reportedly picked up while attending school in Bangkok.”

"She would say to me, Kou Kou, grow up quickly and become a woman. When you grow up, you will become a beautiful, pink and tender woman who can be a big star, just like It’s like magic in fairy tales.”

In front of Gu Weijing, the pretty, pink and tender girl turned her face and looked at him: "Running is very tiring, but I look forward to going out for a run with my mother every week, rain or shine."

Koko smiled and said, "My dad always thought I was greedy. Sometimes the weather is bad on weekends. He would say to me, 'Koko, dad went to the store to pack chicken chop rice for you, and today you and mom will Why don’t you go out?’ I rejected him every time.”

"I have never liked that chicken cutlet rice. Every time my mother takes me running, she is very quiet. In the empty park, there are only two people's footsteps echoing, and the footsteps sound like four people. The piano is played hand-to-hand. Very rarely, my mother will raise her voice and hum a song during rest. Sometimes it is Bellini's "La Sapienza", and sometimes it is Puccini's "Tonight with the Stars" ", and another time, it should be "My Heart Opens to Your Voice" by Camille Saint-Saëns. At that time, I didn't know the specific name of the movement. I just thought that such a mother was extremely beautiful. She was not A crazy woman, but a real pillar in my heart. At that moment, I really believed that she was preparing for some grand performance."

"Running is the most companionable thing my mother has ever given me in my life."

Koko stopped.

"Gu Weijing, do you know? Regardless of physical education classes, you are my second choice running partner in my life."
