9: Brings hope!
“What…what beating to death…Sister Shanshan, please don’t be impulsive…” He Xinxin was a little scared after hearing this. She was fourteen years old and had a good tutor, so she was naturally scared after hearing this.
“Someone dares to bully our Xinxin, why don’t we beat him to death and keep him for the New Year?” The voice on the phone was still irritable, but in fact it was just a very angry statement.
“That won’t mean he should be beaten to death…” He Xinxin said.
“Xinxin, why are you still scared? Who is it? Tell sister!”
“It’s the tutor my mother found for me…”
“Home, tutor…” The other person’s tone suddenly softened, and she smiled and said, ” Hey! I thought something was wrong. The tutoring matter… your mother asked for it, how dare we take care of it, can’t you handle it yourself? Wasn’t that what happened last time…”
“It’s different this time, he’s broken. He recorded… and then he…”
He Xinxin briefly explained the situation. Her method of driving away the tutor was not hidden from her friends, and there was nothing she couldn’t say.
“…Now, I don’t even dare to let my mother know that I don’t want to learn to paint. He said that if I don’t study hard, he will beat me…”“This old man can do that, he is capable.” Shanshan listened first then said something.
“He’s not an old man, he’s in his twenties,” He Xinxin said.
“Twenties? Male?”
“Yes.”
“Hey! I thought your mother had found an art professor from some school for you. Is he a young person? A college student? An art major? Just graduated?”
“I… don’t know. I didn’t ask, but he is quite rich and drives a Mercedes-Benz.”
“The Mercedes Benz counts for nothing! Brother Daqi also drives Ferrari! It’s easy to show off to young people, even if they’re bullies! Xinxin, just tell me what you want to do. If he dares to bully Xinxin, I’ll immediately call someone to smash his car…”
“Don’t! Also… my mom will scold me once she hears about it…”
“We also can’t let aunt know… then how should we do it?”
“Just! Get the recording back first and ask him to apologize to me, and then… and…” He Xinxin was a little stuck, because she couldn’t think of anything. Too harsh methods would definitely not work, but too light wouldn’t relieve her anger!
“Okay, okay, I understand Xinxin. Just use my arrangements and scare him to death,” Shanshan said.
The two talked some more.
In the end, it was agreed that He Xinxin would take Wu Chen out and lead him to a convenient place to do their things.
More than ten minutes later…
He Xinxin came out of her bedroom. She changed her coat, but it was still very big and hip-hop-like. The red mark on her chin hadn’t gone away yet, so she was very careful and walked out of the bedroom quickly then entered the studio.
“Teacher, my painting is good…” He Xinxin was really well-behaved. When she saw Wu Chen looking through the sketches she had drawn, she came over and called him teacher. She called him sweetly and looked very obedient.
“Well, it’s okay, but at your age, it’s impressive.” Wu Chen turned to look at He Xinxin and smiled, then motioned to He Xinxin, “Sit down.”
He Xinxin sat on the chair in front of the drawing board.
Wu Chen took a pencil and drew on the unfinished sketch on the drawing board.
“The strokes here should be drawn like this…”
An hour later, it’s past eleven o’clock at noon…
He Shiqin, who was wearing an apron, was still busy in the kitchen. She really wanted Wu Chen to teach her daughter. She was very concerned and eager, so it was her first time to entertain someone for lunch. Naturally, she couldn’t just cook a few dishes.
She had to make eight dishes!
It took half an hour to prepare all the ingredients for the dishes, wash them and cut them.
At this time, the stews that were cooked first were almost ready, and there were still cold dishes and two stir-fried dishes left. These were easy to make, so they were cooked last.
He Shiqin mixed another cold dish.
She then took the bowls and chopsticks and put them away first.
Seeing that there was no one in the living room, she could vaguely hear the sounds in the studio. The studio door was ajar. She walked over, opened the door and was about to say something, but she was stunned. She was a little surprised. And then… surprised!
Because she saw that her daughter He Xinxin was sitting on the chair obediently, while Wu Chen was standing behind her, holding a pencil to compare. She was teaching her daughter sketching skills.
As for her daughter, He Xinxin, she seemed to listen very seriously and was particularly well-behaved and obedient.
This made He Shiqin suddenly feel like she had a few years ago, when her daughter was also so obedient.
In fact, He Shiqin was a little surprised.
There were so many old gentlemen and professors who couldn’t teach her daughter and couldn’t control him at all. When Wu Chen first came, her daughter reacted very badly and even slammed the door.
What’s going on now?
Was saught by Wu Chen to be obedient?
Or is it that Wu Chen has aroused my daughter’s interest in painting again?
He Shiqin was really surprised!
“Mom…” He Xinxin seemed to notice and turned to look at the door.
Wu Chen also looked over.
“Ah… what, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wu… Xinxin, study hard. Don’t let the teacher down… Lunch will be ready soon. Teacher Wu, you don’t have to rush teaching Xinxin. If you’re tired… Take a rest in the living room…” There seemed to be a little problem with He Shiqin’s language logic.
She was happy!
“Mom, I’m studying with teacher, can you please stop disturbing me?” He Xinxin said, pouting as if she didn’t want her there.
She was very good at acting, showing it to Wu Chen.
“You girl… Then I’ll go cook. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wu…” He Shiqin smiled and said happily to her daughter, and then closed the door.
He Xinxin glanced at Wu Chen again and asked directly, “Teacher, I’m obedient, right?”
“Yes.” Wu Chen smiled and nodded, then raised his hand to signal, “Look at the drawing board, continue…”
He Xinxin laughed a little and started learning painting from Wu Chen “seriously” again.
More than ten minutes later, the meal was served.
He Shiqin asked Wu Chen and He Xinxin to wash their hands and eat.
He Shiqin was extremely happy during this lunch, because her daughter had really changed. She was still at the dinner table and took the initiative to ask Wu Chen questions about painting. She also respected Wu Chen very much and was very sweet.
No one could teach her daughter well, but Wu Chen could teach her well.
He Shiqin’s idea of officially hiring Wu Chen as a tutor became more and more urgent!
Her life had become gloomy, and her life lost other possibilities. She placed all her hopes on her daughter. She hoped that her daughter could get better and become outstanding! She hoped her daughter would be successful and famous in the future!
Originally, because her daughter was disobedient, all hope was almost gone.
Unexpectedly, the appearance of Teacher Wu brought her hope again!
After the meal, He Shiqin chatted with Wu Chen again about being a tutor. Wu Chen said that he would teach her again and observe her. He said that He Xinxin was very spiritual and said that he still had time today and would test her in the afternoon.
Of course, He Shiqin was extremely willing to do this.
Therefore, Wu Chen did not leave after the conversation. He chatted with He Shiqin for a while, took a rest, and then went to the studio to teach He Xinxin how to paint.
Unconsciously, it was half past three in the afternoon.
He Xinxin passed Wu Chen’s test. He Xinxin went back to the room, while Wu Chen was in the living room, chatting with He Shiqin again…
In the living room, He Shiqin was chatting with Wu Chen.
He Xinxin came out of the room again.
She was holding a skateboard in one hand and a backpack with protective gear on her shoulder.
“Mom, I want to go out and play for a while, okay?” He Xinxin said to her mother.
“Well…” He Shiqin looked at her daughter, pondered for a moment and smiled, “Go, don’t play too late. Come back early.”
She was really in a good mood. Her daughter was obedient and studied hard and then relaxed. Of course she wouldn’t stop her.
After talking to her daughter, He Shiqin turned to explain to Wu Chen, “Xinxin has been skateboarding recently in a nearby park with a group of children about her age.”
“It’s good to relax occasionally and have some friends.” Wu Chen smiled.
“Teacher, do you have time?” He Xinxin spoke up at this time, and said sweetly to Wu Chen, “Would you like to go and have a look? It’s very close, just at the park. I’m not just a painter yo~”
She wanted to take Wu Chen to the park!
