Chapter 1508 - 568: Plot Interpretation with Qi Siyuan
"Of course not, I really think like that... But if you don’t want to, then forget it."Zhang Jingdong pretended to be conflicted for a moment, then said, "...Next time there’s an opportunity, I’ll let you draw."
Qi Siyuan’s eyes immediately lit up: "Really? You mean it!"
"Why would I lie to you? It’s because you cooperated so exceptionally today. It’s only polite to reciprocate, and we’re not stingy people either."
Qi Siyuan felt thoroughly balanced now, and her pose became even more standard.
Zhang Jingdong glanced at the time, then seriously painted for a while longer, and said, "As an art student, aside from that scene in ’Titanic’, have you watched any other human body—oh I mean, artistic films?"
Qi Siyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "...Are you talking about Japanese romance movies?"
"Yes."
"...Alright, I admit... I’ve watched them."
Zhang Jingdong immediately chuckled: "Really, has Xu Nuo watched them too?"
"She probably hasn’t."
"When did you start watching them?"
"Once while browsing online, I was searching an artist’s paintings, and I ended up clicking into a movie... I was shocked at first, but also curious, so... I watched a bit."
"Just watched that bit?"
"No, occasionally I’d watch some more, but not because of prurience—just to seriously observe human anatomy."
Zhang Jingdong saw that she hadn’t completely let go of her embarrassment in front of him and then said, "So those poses you sent me in the MMS photos were all learned from the actresses in those movies?"
Qi Siyuan was clearly surprised Zhang Jingdong would bring this up now, and instantly felt a bit defensive: "No, I... I learned them from models in some magazines."
Zhang Jingdong shrugged: "Qi Siyuan, since you’ve sent me those photos, and are modeling for me today, our relationship has upgraded, so I hope you won’t be so conflicted in front of me anymore."
"Simply put, I hope you remain the cute, pretty college girl in front of others, but be bolder, more—do you know what ’sao’ means in ’Li Sao’—in front of me?"
Qi Siyuan immediately understood, but looked a bit troubled: "I... I can gradually meet that request, but I hope you can give me some time. After all, we haven’t known each other long, I... I’ll try my best, okay?"
"Alright."
Zhang Jingdong’s gaze left Qi Siyuan’s jade-like legs: "Guess what I’m drawing now?"
Qi Siyuan’s slightly calmed heart instantly stirred again: "...Legs?"
Zhang Jingdong shook his head.
"...Face?"
Zhang Jingdong shook his head again.
"...Stomach?"
Zhang Jingdong shook his head once more.
Qi Siyuan guessed four or five more times, but Zhang Jingdong shook his head at all of them.
At this point, Qi Siyuan couldn’t hold back anymore and wanted to end the topic, so she said: "...Could it be there?"
Zhang Jingdong’s lips curled into a charming smile: "Where is there?"
Qi Siyuan instantly realized she guessed right, and she cast Zhang Jingdong a sidelong glance: "Just... there."
"I’ll give you one more chance. If you can’t say the correct answer, you have to accept a punishment from me."
Qi Siyuan felt both embarrassed and annoyed: "But I... I don’t know how to say it!"
Zhang Jingdong laughed mischievously: "Qi Siyuan, are you sure? You just told me you’d gradually let go of your restraint in front of me, yet now you won’t even say that word? I don’t believe you truly don’t know the word. You’re a college student, not an elementary or middle school student."
"Haven’t you heard others say it all these years?"
"You..."
Qi Siyuan was utterly lost, mainly because she indeed heard others say that word.
She hesitated for five or six seconds, then pleaded sheepishly, "...Alright, I’ll say it, alright? That word is... bo yi..."
Zhang Jingdong immediately burst into laughter: "What are you thinking about all day? How could I make you say that word? No! It’s the nose’s nose!"
Qi Siyuan instantly realized she was tricked again, and pouted: "Zhang Jingdong, you’re... you’re too much! How could you do this? I... You’re so annoying!"
Zhang Jingdong saw she was about to get up and hurriedly gestured: "No, no, no... It’s almost finished, don’t come so far only to fail at the last-minute, hurry!"
Qi Siyuan reluctantly returned to her previous pose but grumbled, "Hmph... How can you be so bad? You’re bullying me!"
Zhang Jingdong shook his head with a smile: "I just wanted to tease you, I didn’t expect you to know that word?"
"Besides, you first played a trick on me. You clearly knew the word but took ages to say it. You’re still a bit reserved in front of me."
"I’m actually giving you desensitization training so that when we’re alone in the future, you can speak freely, and we can communicate better."
Qi Siyuan was blushing so hard it seemed a hint of red spread across her body, yet she said nothing.
Zhang Jingdong noticed this and skillfully completed the last few strokes, then handed his sketchbook to Qi Siyuan, saying, "Alright, it’s done, appreciate my true debut piece!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Siyuan’s original embarrassment partly turned to curiosity, and she took the sketchbook.
And after just a glance, she was instantly amazed by Zhang Jingdong’s drawing skills!
