The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Li Lanni was shocked by her mother's perceptiveness. "Huh? Of course, I did nothing." 

"Laaanni...?" 

Li Lanni's face went red. "I'm such a good girl. I'm absolutely adorable and obedient. What can I possibly do?" Before her mother could respond and bombard her with more questions, she kissed her face in a flurry. "I have incomplete homework, so I'll go up first. Goodnight!" 

Li Yuming chuckled as Li Lanni ran out of the dining room. Didn't she know her daughter better than anyone? The cheeky girl was probably up to something. 

...

The next day, in the Comic Arts studio. 

The tutor had to attend a meeting, so he was substituted by Miss Song. Miss Song was a middle-aged woman who was quite beautiful for her age. 

Cheng Yu couldn't hold back her awe. "Is everyone in Star Art so gorgeous?" 

Li Lanni shot her a look, but she couldn't deny it. Indeed, the deputy CEO was stunning, their tutor was handsome, and this substitute tutor was beautiful. 

Not to mention, she didn't want to admit it, but Jiang Xingyu was handsome too. His level of handsomeness was comparable to the pervert. 

Wait, why did that pervert invade her thoughts yet again?! Also, did she just think he was handsome? No, the main point was, he was starting to invade her thoughts more often lately.

"Trainees, you have a test today." The beautiful substitute teacher said, dragging Li Lanni back from her thoughts. 

"What?" The trainees were all shocked.

"No one mentioned a test!" a young man complained, and the few other trainees chimed in. 

"It's not difficult." Miss Song smiled. "You have  already prepared for it."

"What's the test?" Cedric was the only one who asked, earning glares from the other students who were still hoping she would change her mind. 

"That's the right attitude." Miss Song looked at Cedric with approval. "It's quite simple." 

"This month, we are going to draw the first volume of 'Until the end'."

Everyone was familiar with this name. It was a super famous web novel with hundreds of millions of views and tens of millions of fans. In fact, their tutor had asked them to read the first volume of the novel the previous day. 

'But wait, the comic adaptation was going to be drawn by them?' Everyone had the same thoughts running in their minds.

"Seeing the expressions on your faces, I think all of you have guessed already. You were asked to read the novel yesterday. So, today's test is to draw the first chapter of the comic. The time limit is forty minutes. I am looking forward to seeing some good art pieces. But as you draw, don't forget to keep the protagonist's character in your mind." 

After explaining all the requirements, she let them work on their own. 

Cheng Yu glanced at Li Lanni like she was a god. Her prediction had been right! Luckily she had read and understood it.

She looked back at her sheets of paper and started working. This was her forte. 

Li Lanni also started sketching.

Ten minutes later, a mini bang resounded. Everyone looked up from their sketches to see a distraught Ruby Chan sprawled onto her desk; her stationary casually shoved aside. 

"This inhumane world!" She complained. 

Miss song shrugged. If she disliked art, what was she doing in this class?  

Cheng Yu was going to mock her when she remembered something. It was none of her business. 

...

Thirty minutes later, most of the students were done. They were using fast-drying acrylic paint, so they didn't need to wait for long.

Miss Song picked up a few of the samples she liked to present as good examples. 

Cheng Yu's and Lanni's were definitely among them. 

Li Lanni was awed when she saw her friend's work. "Xiao Yu, you're so good at it." 

Cheng Yu knew her own abilities, but she was embarrassed. "Thank you. Yours is awesome too. You even remembered the protagonist's eye color." 

"Tch. It's just so-so." They heard an arrogant voice mocking them fro behind. 

Cheng Yu turned in displeasure to see Cedric looking down on their work. 

"Why don't you mind your business?" 

"But it's really so-so." He said as a matter-of-fact. 

Li Lanni harrumphed. "Why don't you show your work then, since you're so impressive?" 

"Sure." Cedric said while casually handing his paper to them. 

Cheng Yu's eyes went wide.

Li Lanni was startled. This... 

"What? Are you too impressed?" Cedric said, gloatingly when he saw their awed expressions.

Li Lanni was annoyed by this guy's high and mighty attitude, but she had to keep her mouth shut. 

Wasn't this too impressive? 

The female protagonist of the comic was a master of archery. 

According to Miss Song's instructions, the introduction page was of her shooting an arrow to the target. 

They all had to portray the same thing, but it looked at another level of difference in Cedric's work.

His female protagonist had an arrogant look on her face as she aimed, and most importantly, her gaze and pose were so perfect that it made one captivated into the scene in a second. She seemed as if she was an epitome of grace and beauty. The other few pages were just as excellent.

And his choice of colors and style was beyond anyone else's imagination. 

He had brought both his and the author's imaginations into life in just one picture!

The fans of the novel version would doubtless love the comic if the adaptation were Cedric's version. 

Li Lanni subconsciously covered her own work.

It was already perfect, but compared to Cedric's, it paled by a huge range. 

Cheng Yu's face didn't look any better. 

"How come Miss Song didn't use it as an example?" Li Lanni asked. This was the best version she had seen. 

"If it were presented, everyone would drop out of class," Cedric said in a monotonously.

Cheng Yu remained silent. 

Li Lanni had no way to refute this. Indeed, it was true. 

No wonder Ruby gave up. She must have snuck a glance at his sketch.

Poor girl...

Li Lanni was even more curious. "Since you are so good, why did you only get second place in the art competition the last time?" 

Cheng Yu didn't say a word, but she perked her ears, obviously wanting to know too. 

"I deliberately lost," Cedric said nonchalantly. 

Li Lanni now felt stupid for winning it.

Fine, you are talented. You have the right to be haughty.

The class continued. Cheng Yu was absent minded for the rest of the time. Even when the class ended, she still looked lost. 

Li Lanni was worried. Had she suffered a blow too?
