nAfter the two classes in the morning, there was a break in between.

nQin Yiyi didn’t even raise her head when Lu Jinwan came over. “Sit there and don’t disturb me.”

n“Hey, Yiyi, what are you drawing? Don’t tell me, it looks pretty good.”

nLu Jinwan reached out and pushed Qin Yiyi’s classmates away. “Why are you still reading after class? Hurry up and go out for a walk. Have you forgotten that you have to combine work and rest? Hurry up and go.”

nAt the same time, she sat down on the other classmate’s seat. Seeing this, the corner of the student’s mouth twitched. However, she knew this girl’s character. Moreover, they had been classmates for more than a year and were used to playing around. Thus, she stood up and shook her head, preparing to go out for a walk.

nHowever, when she turned her head, she saw Qin Yiyi’s half-finished drawing on her desk. She exclaimed, “Yiyi, did you draw this? I’ve never heard that you like to draw.”

nI’ve never heard of it, I’ve never seen it before.

nEven when she was in art class, she was always absent-minded and perfunctory.

nOn the other hand, Qin Jiatong, the top student of her school, was praised by her art teacher every time. She even said that she had such talent and spirituality.

n

n

nShe heard that the teacher recommended Qin Jiatong to participate in the competition on behalf of the school for the competition that was being held recently.

n“Oh, I just drew it.”

nQin Yiyi didn’t look up. After she finished the last stroke, she was ready to put the painting away.

nHowever, Lu Jinwan was one step ahead of her.

n“Let me see, let me see.”

n“It’s really beautiful.”

n“Hey, this was drawn by Qin Yiyi. Needless to say, it’s quite beautiful.”

nQin Yiyi sat there and tidied up her things. She waved at Lu Jinwan, “Bring it over.”

n“Yiyi, did you just say that you were painting for fun?”

n“Mm-hmm.”

nShe had gone all out to avoid going to school for the evening self-study and morning study. She had promised Teacher Zhou that she would participate in the competition.

nLet’s practice first.

nFortunately, it was only a painting. If it were some other troublesome competition or something like that, she would regret showing that she knew how to paint and calligraphy in front of teacher Zhou.

nHowever, it was also her negligence last time that allowed Teacher Zhou to see her paintings and calligraphy in the studio..

nForget it, forget it. Seeing that Old Zhou had been dedicated to their class for more than a year, she reluctantly helped him.

nTeacher Zhou: Didn’t you agree to it because you wanted to make it clear that you wouldn’t be able to study early or late?!

n“Yiyi, give me this painting. I’ll hang it in my study room later.”

nQin Yiyi glanced at Lu Jinwan and nodded after thinking for a while. “I’ll give it to you then.”

nIt was a painting for practice anyway.

nAfter getting the painting she liked, Lu Jinwan happily hugged her baby and went back to her seat.

nQin Yiyi stood up and stretched. Feeling the autumn wind blowing in from outside the window, she raised her eyebrows. Was it going to rain?

n“Sister, did you draw that painting just now?”

nQin Jiatong had unknowingly stood beside her. The way she looked at Qin Yiyi changed continuously.

nJust now, when she walked in from outside, she saw Lu Jinwan looking at a painting with a few people.

nOut of curiosity and love for paintings, she also walked over with a smile. However, she was pushed away by Lu Jinwan after just one look.

n“This is a painting by our family. We won’t let you see it.”

nDidn’t she look down on her family? Then don’t look at her paintings!

nQin Jiatong,”…”

nHowever, what made her the most angry was not Lu Jinwan’s words, but the fact that the painting she was talking about was painted by Qin Yiyi!

nAlthough it was just a glance, Qin Jiatong genuinely felt that the painting was quite good.

nShe stood in front of Qin Yiyi and comforted her with a sincere face, “Sister, if you really like painting, you should study hard in the art class later. If you have any questions, ask your teacher. If sister needs me, I can help you talk to your parents and ask them to help you hire a tutor.”

nPausing for a moment, she softly said with some difficulty, “But sister can not think about my master’s side. He has already said that I am his last student…”

nQin Yiyi saw her acting as if she was afraid that she was thinking about snatching her master away from her and wanted to laugh.

nShe glanced at Qin Jiatong with a half-smile. Qin Yiyi whistled softly, her face unruly and undisciplined. “You’re thinking too much. I haven’t seen your master yet.”

nQin Jiatong,”…”

nThe fourth period happened to be art class.

nOnly then did Qin Jiatong and the others realize that Qin Yiyi was also participating in the drawing competition!

nThis made many students in the class surprised.

nOne of them even raised his hand and asked boldly, “Teacher, why is it Qin Yiyi?”

n“Yes, teacher. Although her recent exam results were very good, it doesn’t mean that she has talent in drawing.”

n“This is a representative of the school. Who will take blame for losing face?”

nThe art teacher put her hand down.

n“This is a decision that Teacher Zhou and I have discussed. Let’s talk after class.”

nForcefully stopping everyone’s discussion, the art teacher thought for a moment, but her gaze fell on Qin Yiyi. “Student Qin Yiyi, you have heard the discussions of the students about you just now. Can you tell me what you think?”

nQin Yiyi was looking down at a math competition question.

nShe only reacted after her deskmate poked her twice. She slowly stood up and looked at the art teacher, “Oh, don’t worry. I will get the first place for our class.”

nHer words made all the students in the class burst into laughter.

nMost of them were booing her!

nOnly a few neutral ones remained silent, and Lu Jinwan, who was close to her, believed her words without even thinking about it.

nOn the podium.

nThe art teacher’s face was a little dark, “Qin Yiyi, being arrogant is not a student’s style. You are still a student, and you need to learn and improve on your foundation. You can’t be arrogant and look down on others. I heard that you have never treated Qin Jiatong as your sister outside of school, and now you are boasting without any restraint. This is boasting, and it’s a display of irresponsibility for what you have said…”

nShe babbled on and on.

nIn the end, she made Qin Yiyi sit down. “I will discuss with the relevant leaders regarding your participation in the competition on behalf of the school and give it careful consideration.”

n“Okay.”

nQin Yiyi nodded and sat down. She didn’t really care.

nIf I don’t want to go, then I won’t go.

nHowever, it made the art teacher hold back a bellyful of anger. It was as if she had hit cotton!

nAfter school at noon.

nLu Jinwan was still angry. “The art teacher is too biased. What right does she have to say that you’re bragging? You’re so good at drawing…”

n“Alright, I’m not angry at her Let’s go. Let’s go eat.”

nEating was the most important thing in the world.

nHowever, after taking two steps outside, she suddenly stopped.

n“Do you have an umbrella?”

n“Yes, wait for me to get it.”

nDid Yiyi want to block out the sun?

nYes, the sun was a little too glaring. She couldn’t let her Yiyi get sunburn!

n“Hey, Qin Yiyi, you can’t be so delicate, right? Why do you need to hide from the sun for a walk?”

nThe female student beside her teased, and Qin Yiyi smiled slightly.

n“Block out the rain.”

nShe waved at Lu Jinwan, and the two of them walked out arm in arm.

nMany of the students behind her couldn’t help but roll their eyes to the roof.

nThe Sun was so bright, yet she was going to keep out the rain. What nonsense was that?!

n“Tongtong, your sister is really… I don’t even know what to say about her. She actually said it was going to rain on such a sunny day. Who does she think she is? Zhuge Liang? She really pretends to be mysterious.” The girl stood beside Qin Jiatong. She bit leaned closer to her ear and whispered to her, “It’s really hard for you to have such an elder sister.”

n

n

n“Don’t say that. She grew up in the countryside. It’s not easy…”

nQin Jiatong’s voice carried a hint of awkwardness and embarrassment. “It’s just that my parents are sometimes quite helpless with her temper…”

n“Alright, I know you’re soft-hearted. Good person. Let’s go. Let’s hurry and eat and rest.”

nThe group of people walked towards the cafeteria in a hurry.

nIt was about ten minute walk from the school to the cafeteria.

nIt was a sunny day. There was a bit of wind, blowing gently. It carried a hint of the late autumn air as it hit people’s bodies. It was a bit cold.

nA few minutes later.

nThere was a loud clap of thunder, and the pouring rain fell head first.

nThe rain was very heavy. Many students ran a few steps forward and saw two people holding umbrellas in the rain, strolling casually!

nThe students of class two and three: ….
