Back to 90s small fishing village

In order to facilitate the reproduction work, Gao Yating put the paper brought back by Xu Caimei into a picture folder and put it in the freezer layer of the small refrigerator in the dormitory.

"Why put it in the refrigerator? Can't it just be dried in the sun?" Xu Caimei was puzzled.

"If you dry it in the sun like that, the paper will deform. When you reproduce the details, the proportions or the shape of the work may be offset because the paper is not flat enough. Don't worry, I don't see this situation where the work needs to be repaired. , I still have some experience.”

After a whole day passed, Gao Yating opened the refrigerator, took out the cool paper, and handed it to Xu Caimei.

After shaking off some fine ice residue on it, the entire drawing paper was indeed dry and flat.

In order to prevent the other party from grabbing hold of her in the future, Xu Caimei did not dare to delay and studied the design drawings on hand.

However, the ink smeared, turning the original design into a black mass. In addition, she only took a glance at it and only had a rough impression of the outline.

"Caimei, why don't you forget it? Anyway, you will only stay here for a year, and the endurance will be over. At worst, why don't you just walk around him in the future?" Gao Yating said, "This is what he sees. I deliberately made things difficult for you."

"Having said that, my opportunity to study was hard-won. If he interfered with it for me, wouldn't it be a waste of my efforts and disrespectful to those who couldn't come?

"Besides, since he is a capable person, restoring his design is also a kind of learning. It is a rare opportunity and I don't want to give up easily."

"Okay, Caimei, in that case, come on, if you need any help from me, just ask."

In the days that followed, unlike He Yifan's imagination, Xu Caimei did not come to talk to him on the pretext of restoring the design drawings, but instead avoided him everywhere.

Even if they met on a narrow road occasionally, Xu Caimei would just walk past him quickly without even looking at him. Occasionally their eyes would meet, and she would only nod to him cautiously.

This made him feel strange instead.

This person's purpose is not simple. Why bother thinking.

"What's wrong? I've been seeing you distracted lately?" The person who spoke was a girl named Emma.

Like He Yifan, she is also a rising star in the jewelry design major. Moreover, she has a strong interest in Chinese culture, so she often asks several Chinese students in her class for advice. Naturally, He Yifan cannot escape. .

The two gradually became familiar with each other.

"Hey, are the young lovers whispering in Chinese again?" A blond boy passed by and joked to them in French.

Emma smiled and pushed him away, then looked at He Yifan, waiting for him to answer her question.

"Nothing, just thinking of new designs."

"Have you finished the previous one?"

"No, I'm actually not satisfied with the design, and the manuscript was scrapped by a fool."

Emma looked surprised.

"Who is so careless?"

"I didn't remember the name. It should be similar to the previous ones, right?"

"Then did she harass you again later?"

"No, this is better."

"That's good, otherwise she might be in trouble." Emma chuckled.

"Speaking of which, who said that those who provoked me were all persuaded to leave?"    "I don't know, maybe because the student who couldn't work with me returned to China, so everyone took this matter to offend him. You will be reprimanded later, but that’s okay, at least it’s quiet around you now.”

"It's not really clean. After all, there are still people talking."

"Are you talking about me? You're so annoying!" Emma smiled and hit He Yifan on the shoulder, "I came to chat with you out of kindness."

"Sorry, I was just kidding. It's getting late, I have to go back and continue designing." After saying that, he and Emma waved and turned and entered the teaching building.

The boy who had made fun of them just walked out from behind a tree not far away.

"Emma, ​​why don't you tell him that you drove away those people? Maybe then he will thank you." The boy said with a sinister smile.

"It's useless for you to threaten me with this. As you can see, he doesn't care about those people."

"Then what are you going to do? Squeeze out the new Chinese transfer student? So that there won't be any other women around him who have thoughts about him?"

Emma walked up to the boy and stared into his eyes condescendingly, "You don't need to care about my affairs."

"Hey, yo, don't look at me with such a scary look. I don't want to meddle in other people's business. It's just that next year he will graduate and return to China. There will be no results for you."

"I will let him stay. He treats me differently than others. I have confidence."

After hearing this, the boy shrugged noncommittally, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and left.

After class, Xu Caimei returned to the dormitory and studied the design drawing again.

After staring at it for a long time, Xu Caimei suddenly lifted the paper and looked at Guangzi carefully.

Sure enough, although the ink stains the original lines, the scratches left by the pen tip will not disappear.

Xu Caimei carefully picked up the pencil and traced the direction of the handwriting.

There were relatively few modifications to the large outline, and it was basically done in one stroke. After a while, Xu Caimei sketched out the general appearance of the design.

However, the details gave her trouble.

The details in the picture are basically finalized after many revisions. The parts of the paper that have been wiped with the eraser will become rough. After absorbing water and drying, the rough lint will remain standing, and it will look like a small piece of paper if you look up close. forest.

The handwriting seems to be absent among the hair. With the author's modifications, some directions are completely different, and some are completely unclear.

Helpless, Xu Caimei had to go to the library and borrow all the books and acrobatics that published He Yifan's works.

Her idea is very simple. She understands the author's design style and habits, and based on his past design experience, she can guess the true appearance of the details when putting the works in her hands that need to be repaired.

It's a pity that nature doesn't fulfill people's wishes, so why do people have so many ideas? The style is changeable, and special emphasis is placed on detailed expression. After studying for half a month, Xu Caimei still didn't get any help to write the paper.

***
  He Yifan returned to the corner of the classroom, remembered the design drawing that had been flooded, sighed, and took out another piece of paper. Half an hour later, the drawing fell on the paper again from his mind, and it was still there. I fixed a few things I wasn't satisfied with.

After drawing the picture, he thought of Xu Caimei. He must have planned to put this matter aside, so he didn't come over to submit the drawing, let alone ask how to fix it.

Forget it, as long as she doesn't bother me, it's a good thing.

Thinking like this, he picked up the manuscript and walked towards the teacher's office.
