Beyond The Outline

Chapter Thirty

The art joint examination is a unified professional examination organized by various provinces, and it is also a qualification examination for art students. Candidates are only eligible to apply for art colleges and school exams organized by art colleges and universities if they pass the exam.In the studio, the art candidates who are looking forward to various art academies are struggling to get an ideal score in the entrance exam.

They have to practice a few compulsory subjects continuously, and they have used drawing paper to stack up higher than others.

What is the concept of No. 1 in the city?

It's almost the same as a scholar who takes the college entrance examination casually.

Not to mention the first place in the city, as long as the candidates can enter the top 50, the studio where the candidates are located will be overwhelmed, and everyone flocks to learn painting the next year.

When the studio recruits students every year, it will also use the following as a slogan: how many top and how many did we have last year, and the passing rate is controlled at a few percent.

After Kang Kai said this, the classmate almost didn't hold the fan-shaped pen in his hand. After a thousand words, only one sentence came out: "Fuck?"

Kang Kai shook his head, and said in a strange tone: "You are still too young. There are people outside the mountains and mountains outside the mountains."

That classmate: "Really so amazing?"

Kang Kai didn't say much, only said: "Just now I asked you to meditate on something. Anyway, there are some people, you have to take it."

In fact, before he met Xu Sheng, Kang Kai had never seen such a person—or rather he was not a person, but a devil.Although their studio was small, his mother was not a simple character. He taught at the Academy of Fine Arts before, and later retired from the Academy of Fine Arts when he was in poor health. After leaving the hospital, he opened his own studio.

Under the teachings of Kang Ma’s words and deeds, Kang Kai considered himself a little talented in art, until a woman knocked on the door of their studio and brought a bunch of gifts: “Hello, I’m really sorry...I’m usually busy at work and he stays alone. I'm not at ease at home."

After being polite, the woman tenderly offered her offer.

When he and Xu Sheng met for the first time, they had only one impression: this man grew up too arrogantly.

Xu Sheng looks like this and it makes people feel distanced, but his personality is completely different, and his emotional intelligence is so high.In winter, he wore a black sweater with pale complexion and a smile on his eyes. The routine greeted him very deeply: "Hello, sister." Then he looked at Kang Kai: "Is this your brother? "

Just this sentence captured his mother. His mother wanted Xu Sheng to come to the studio every day, and smiled wildly: "What is your sister, alas, I'm all this age...just call me Auntie Kang."

Of course these are not important points.

The point is that when Xu Sheng stayed in the studio for no more than three months, Kang Kai's worldview was split.

It was a sketching class. His mother sat in front and acted as a model for them: "The sketching time is 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, I will collect the drawing paper. I will grade on the spot later."

In the last pile of drawing papers, there was a thin piece of paper that was obviously torn from the exercise book. The upper left corner of the paper was arrogantly written with a few words, the first big word was "Solution" ", the complete content is-solution: this question will not.

In addition to this line of words, a complete sketch of the composition was drawn on the paper. The handwriting is just an ordinary ink pen. It is impossible to use the traditional charcoal pen or pencil to deal with the virtual and real sketches, but it still captures the dynamics of women. Vivid and decisive.

The clothes pattern is drawn at random in two strokes at the joints, reflecting the sense of volume.

"..." Kang Kai looked at his mother halfway through the evaluation, and was stunned for a long time, "Who painted this painting?"

After a long time, sitting in the back row of the studio, because he didn't want to do his homework, the boy half lying on the table moved, holding a black pen between his fingers, and raising his hand: "The homework is too boring, just paint casually. "

Aunt Kang was silent for two seconds in surprise, before asking, "Have you studied before?"

"No," Xu Sheng sat up and put down the pen in his hand, ignorantly, "Is it difficult?"

Aunt Kang: "..."

Go up and see Kang Kai after that picture: "..."

At first he tried to treat Xu Sheng as his life's enemy, but after a while, he couldn't even see this man's car exhaust.

From now on, in Kang Kai's mind, the word Xu Sheng is basically equivalent to opening up against the sky.

There is a long row of wash basins in the studio, and the taps are close together to facilitate students to wash painting tools after class. The tiles are stained with traces of unwashed colorful dots of paint.

Xu Sheng, who was hanging out against the sky, had washed his hands. Kang Kai was already waiting for him at the entrance of the studio. He squatted on the edge of the flowerbed at the entrance of the studio. Seeing Xu Sheng came out, he patted his trouser legs: "Go to the station? I'll give you a ride."

Xu Sheng: "It's not a few steps away. If you have this skill, it is better to go back and change your profile picture."

"Fuck," Kang Kai said, "we have not seen each other for such a long time, and we know to laugh at me."

Xu Sheng laughed and stopped joking.

After walking out for a while, Kang Kai said, "I went back to the warehouse and saw that the drawing paper was moved. Have you ever been back?"

"When the school just started," Xu Sheng reacted for two seconds before remembering the date of the "last time" Kang Kai said, and said, "I was there once, and I went back and took a look."

That warehouse belonged to Kang Kai's friend, and it was abandoned for many years, and it was useless. Later, Xu Sheng was loaned to Xu Sheng to store the painting tools he used before.At the moment when everything was sealed and locked, Kang Kai, a bystander, was uncomfortable watching from the side. Xu Sheng hung the key around his neck without a word, and never mentioned it again.

Kang Kai: "I wanted to contact you often, but in the end you didn't reply."

Xu Sheng: "It's okay, you can still contact if you want to contact in the future."

Kang Kaixin said that the Sixth Middle School has always been known for its many rules, and it is too rigid: "Linjiang Sixth Middle School has not many rules?"

"It's quite a lot. There are always more than 500 school rules," Xu Sheng said, adding, "But when have I obeyed the rules?"

...

This thought consciousness!

Kang Kai really felt that his brother was really awesome.

Kang Kai felt his emotions in his heart, and then remembered that Xu Sheng didn't say that in the studio just now. He said that he didn't reply to him because the school was strict.

"No, you just said...Why are you saying excuses for a while?"

Xu Sheng: "I lied to you just now."

Kang Kai: "Fuck!"

There is a bus every 15 minutes. When the two of them walked to the station, the 2nd bus just came in slowly.

"Send here." Xu Sheng said.

Kang Kai didn't reply. After a while, he suddenly called him: "Brother Sheng."

Xu Sheng looked back.

Kang Kai didn’t know whether he should mention this again. Xu Sheng said that after he stopped painting, the topic became sensitive invisibly. Finally, he said: “I really think if you go to the entrance exam, what Qing Meiyang Beauty is not a problem."

As the sky dimmed, the lights of the slowly approaching bus struck straight on, and the scattered lights covered Xu Sheng’s eyebrows. He couldn't see what his expression was at the moment. Finally, he said, "Go away."

When Xu Sheng arrived home and found that there was no one at home, he looked down on WeChat and saw the message Xu Yaping had sent him half an hour ago.

-Mom has gone to the company, and something happens temporarily.

-You only had so many bites for dinner. If you are hungry, order something to eat.

Xu Yaping is busy at work. She worked as an HR in a private company. When she gave birth to Xu Sheng, she lost her job and stayed at home for a year. When she came back, she found that the society was changing day by day. .

In order to support the family, she lived very tired and worked under pressure.

Anyone who sees it must boast: it's not easy.

Xu Sheng couldn't ignore these two pieces of news. He sighed and said: I see.

Xu Sheng stepped on his slippers back to the room.

The phone rang twice again.

This time the notification bar icon flashes for group chat messages.

The official class group of the seventh grade of senior high school has a special official name: love each other family.

It seems that Hou Jun took this name.

All the students in the official group, including the teacher, were there, and no one spoke. The reason for the resurrection of the zombie group was that Tan Kai was cautiously surrounding Meng Guowei in the group to find out about the monthly test.

Tan Kai: Teacher Meng, when will the monthly test results be released?

Meng Guowei: Soon!

Hou Jun appeared very quickly, and it was obvious that they had discussed with Tan Kai.

Hou Jun: How fast is it soon?

Meng Guowei: Don't worry, we are speeding up the time to review the papers, and we hope you can come over on Monday to talk about the monthly examination papers.

Xu Shengxin said:...It doesn't have to be so fast.

Of course, the people in the class group wished that the results would be released later, and they were disappointed after hearing the news.

Hou Jun: Good teacher, the teacher has worked hard. In fact, we care more about your health than your grades.

Tan Kai followed suit and sang double reed: Yes, don't tire yourself too much, it doesn't matter if the results are released later.

Xu Sheng silently liked these two in his heart, exited the group chat and clicked the other one.

Just looking at Shao Zhan's head, he can almost make up Shao Zhan's face.

Xu Sheng recalled how he played with Xu Sheng's name in the examination room. The more he recalled, the more guilty he was.

S: Did you watch the group?

S: Next Monday... Would you like to ask for a leave?

When Shao Zhan received the news, he had just finished writing a set of papers.

Shao Zhan leaned on the back of his chair and rarely took time out of various test papers, motioning him to continue and say: Then.

S: Then I first look at the specific results, and Lao Meng's reaction, and then think about countermeasures.

Shao Zhan: It's all dead, but you still have to choose the day?

S:...

The old people living downstairs in residential buildings like to listen to operas, and their ears are not easy to use, so the sound of the TV set must be loud, and the babbling sound from the old-fashioned TV sets keeps coming out.Most houses in Nanping District are very old. There is a big difference between this and the urban area. There are not many middle schools, and news is relatively blocked.

Two rooms and one living room, the house is empty, only Shao Zhan alone.

The place where the photo frame was originally placed in the living room has disappeared, leaving only a rectangular trace.

Shao Zhan went to the kitchen to pick up a glass of water and was about to write another set of papers, when the phone rang again.

S: As compensation, I will bring you breakfast next week?What do you want to eat.

S: Or something else, anyway, I owe you once.

S: You can do whatever you want.

You can do whatever you want.

Fuck.

After the last sentence was sent out, Xu Sheng realized that it was very ambiguous.

After two seconds, withdraw directly.

Meng Guowei said that they are stepping up the examination of papers, which is true.

Teachers in No.6 Middle School have no holidays on weekends. They work overtime to approve the test papers. If they are faster, they will be able to count the transcripts and the average of each class.

When he replied to the class group news, he was in the office with several stacks of test papers in front of him. In order to ensure the fairness of scoring, the column where the name of the student number can be seen on the side was sealed. They did not know the end of the test papers being approved. Which candidate did it... But there were accidents.

At this point, Meng Guowei took off his glasses and raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, trying to relieve eye fatigue.

"Mr. Meng," the Chinese teacher of the next class just finished the examination papers at hand, and asked involuntarily, "Have you approved Shao Zhan's papers?"

Meng Guowei put on his glasses again and said, "I didn't approve it. It should be with you?"

Shao Zhan's handwriting is beautiful, and his test scores are high. Teachers in various subjects can recognize him without looking at his name as long as he has been approved.Of course, in addition to Shao Zhan, there is also a particularly easy-to-recognize Xu Sheng, whose writing is so bad that he can't even see it.

The Chinese teacher next door said that it was weird. The Chinese test paper was approved by two teachers. She turned over the newly approved test paper again and confirmed that she must have not approved it, and guessed: " Is the number complete? Confirm that you have received it? Are you really there?"

Meng Guowei hasn't finished the approval yet, and there are not many sheets left. He glanced through it, and the handwriting on each test paper was not like Shao Zhan wrote: "Neither do I."

The Chinese teacher next door wanted to say something, but Meng Guowei had a big heart. He waved his hand, he didn't care, and he didn't worry about Shao Zhan in his class. He even thought about how to celebrate Shao Zhan again this time. First: "It's okay. I don't worry about Shao Zhan's grades at all. He must be the first place again. Then I will count the points and pick out his papers, and you can take a few more copies! There are also our monthly exams. Grade ranking big-character posters, you can fill in your name first for the first place."
