Chapter 49: Getting paint
Because Ruan Nianxi had the same expression the whole time, Xie Shu wasn't sure if she heard it.
But he didn't think too seriously.
Later, both of them were painting Sumo seriously, and their words gradually became less and less.
Xie Shu held the model in place with one hand and carefully painted with a pen in the other.
Ruan Nianxi also wanted to paint this to look better, and she was quite serious about it.
Because this is the work that Xie Shu and she want to complete together.
After all, Xie Shu has some art skills, so it is naturally impossible for Xie Shu to just paint a few single colors.
He would feel sorry for his status as an art student if he didn't change his senior status.
Moreover, he felt that the color was too single and did not look good, so he made some gradients and other embellishments during the coloring process.
Of course, he couldn't do all of this by himself. He was originally here to play with Ruan Nianxi, so the two of them must participate together.
So he taught Ruan Nianxi step by step how to mix and match colors several times during the process.
Color mixing is also a technical job. Some people with poor color sense or lack of basic knowledge cannot grasp the proportions at all, and there is also some theoretical knowledge about the brightness and purity of colors.
This was not in a classroom, so Xie Shu naturally said more, so he directly taught him what colors to add and mix.
Ruan Nianxi was also very nervous because of her many contacts with Xie Shu. At this moment, she had no extra thoughts to think about what had just happened.
Even her little face, which had always been stern, was now flushed.
Sometimes when Xie Shu came closer to talk to her, she was so nervous that she couldn't even say a complete sentence.
The self-service studios all have small painting palettes, which are different from the color palettes they use for training, and Xie Shu himself is keen on using high-grade grays, so their color palettes quickly ran out of space.
There is still a lot of paint in the color palette that is not dry. If you don't wash it off, if the later colors are mixed with the previous colors, it will affect their color matching.
"I'm going to wash the palette, please wait a moment."
Xie Shu stood up and prepared to wash the palette. At the same time, he also picked up the used gouache and prepared to wash it again.
There is a sink specifically for washing these in the self-service studio. After Xie Shu spent a few minutes washing them, he returned to his position.
When he returned the pen to Ruan Nianxi, his movements suddenly stopped.
He stared straight at her, and then couldn't help but chuckle.
"what happened?"
Ruan Nianxi was at a loss. She didn't even know what she had done.
"Nothing hahaha."
"..."
No matter what, he still smiles so happily...
Seeing that Xie Shu was staring at her face and smiling, she became even more curious.
Could it be something on her face?
Thinking about it, she reached out her hand to touch it.
"Don't, don't!"
Xie Shu immediately reached out to stop her hand, then gently pressed it down: "Don't touch your face."
"why?"
Xie Shu smiled and did not answer, but stood up again and took her hand and walked aside.
Suddenly being pulled by him, Ruan Nianxi felt a ringing in her ears. She forgot to think and what Xie Shu was laughing at just now.
She was like an unconscious body at this time, following Xie Shu step by step.
Within a few seconds, Xie Shu pulled Ruan Nianxi to the pool just now.
Under Ruan Nianxi's confused gaze, he reached out and took out a small pack of toilet paper from his pocket, opened it, and wet it with water. Then he turned around and bent slightly, put the wet tissue on Ruan Nianxi's cheek, and wiped it gently.
Xie Shu's sudden approach and his sudden intimate behavior made Ruan Nianxi, who was already dazed, feel like the world was spinning again, and he couldn't regain consciousness.
It was when Xie Shu wiped his hands vigorously that she suddenly came back to her senses.
Seeing the handsome face so close to him, she suddenly felt nervous. She subconsciously raised her hand, and then unconsciously put her hand on the back of Xie Shu's hand.
Her body stiffened again.
Xie Shu reminded her aloud: "Don't rub your face with your hands yet."
His series of actions and words made Ruan Nianxi, who had just regained consciousness, understand what was on her face.
Just now when Xie Shu was washing the palette, she seemed to have rubbed her face with her hands...
She raised her hand and glanced at her palm with some uncertainty, and sure enough, it had been covered in paint from some unknown time.
She was obviously very careful, but she still got rubbed on her hand.
So Xie Shu just laughed at her face...?
Feeling that her bad side had been seen by Xie Shu, Ruan Nianxi felt a little ashamed and annoyed, but she felt happy in her heart because of the close contact between Xie Shu and her.
Anyway, she stood there obediently and motionless the whole time.
After Xie Shu helped her wash off some paint on her face, he took out a piece of paper to help her dry the water droplets. Seeing that she looked stunned until the end, Xie Shu took the responsibility and pulled her back again.
After the two sat down in the corner again, Ruan Nianxi started to blush belatedly.
Why do you get shy so easily?
Why not just have a normal contact?
After all, the relationship hadn't reached that stage yet, so Xie Shu didn't tease her.
He looked away and stopped putting pressure on her. While sharing water and chalk with her, he spoke to her in a calm voice:
"This is normal. When I first started learning colors, I often didn't pay attention to the paint all over my body. At that time, it was a waste of clothes. If I didn't pay attention, my clothes would get dirty."
"Not only the colors, but also the sketching. My hands are dirty every class. Every time I finish class, my whole body is dusty. I feel like I can't even wash them off."
As if recalling some funny scene, Xie Shu couldn't help laughing again.
Ruan Nianxi listened silently without answering, and didn't know what to say.
During his training period, she was not with him and could not empathize with his mood.
Instead, she felt uncomfortable when she thought about what happened to her during that time.
Almost never came back.
But all my sufferings can only be swallowed silently.
It didn't matter, she had persevered anyway, and she could stand by his side again.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the two of them finished the coloring together. Xie Shu went to the boss to pay the money. After the boss confirmed that they wanted to take the ceramic doll away, he put it in his pocket for them.
While the boss was loading them with things, Xie Shu and Ruan Nianxi arrived at the pool just now.
After all, applying this kind of stuff will inevitably stain your hands.
Xie Shu inevitably rubbed some paint on his hands, not to mention Ruan Nianxi. Later, she was too focused and didn't pay attention to rub her face with her hands, causing her face to become stained again.
