Volume 2 Chapter 47: Lin Lin, How About Wearing a cheongsam?
Ever since being reborn as a cute girl, the girl was now facing the biggest crisis of her life!
Help! She was being led around by her sworn rival, and she couldn’t even fight back!
This development felt just like something from a cheesy comic… uh… but in the end, it didn’t turn out the way people would expect.
Gao Liang was like a piece of wood. He was completely obsessed with drawing, totally unable to pull himself away from it.
Lin Lin’s face had turned bright red, and her heart had been pounding wildly for several minutes. But because nothing more happened, the excitement slowly faded. In the end, even the “little deer” in her heart got tired of jumping.
The girl turned her head with a resentful look and glanced at Gao Liang, who was still seriously holding her right hand and guiding her drawing.
Feeling her gaze, Gao Liang turned his head. “What’s wrong, Lin Lin?”
“Nothing!”
The girl turned her head away again. Gao Liang frowned slightly.
Hm? What’s going on?
“Lin Lin, look at the drawing board and focus. If you keep doing that, can you really understand what I’m teaching you?”
“Uh…”
Hearing his reminder, Lin Lin suddenly realized something.
Oh, right! She was supposed to be learning.
Ahem…
Lin Lin turned back, looked at the drawing board, and did her best to follow his explanation and thinking process.
Slowly, she suddenly felt a flash of clarity!
Ah, although she still didn’t fully understand everything he drew, still…
Lin Lin blinked. In her mind, every line he had just drawn appeared clearly, as if replayed perfectly. Not a single detail was missing.
This…
Especially since he had been holding her hand and drawing together with her, both muscle memory and mental memory were activated at the same time.
At that moment, the girl felt like she finally understood.
Finally, after Gao Liang finished fixing the portrait, the girl suddenly shouted, “Stop—!”
Gao Liang stopped. The girl struggled free from his arms, calmed herself down, picked up the pencil, changed to a new sheet of paper, and right in front of Gao Liang started to recreate the drawing he had just finished!
Gao Liang stood beside her, completely stunned.
As he watched, his shock only grew stronger.
This…
Rather than drawing, it was more like she was copying it.
Copying a finished drawing, from memory, onto a completely blank sheet?
Gao Liang fell silent, scratching his head as he thought.
This…
He quickly picked up the finished drawing again and compared the two pictures, looking left and right…
Even the distance between the lines was almost the same!
That was terrifying.
Gao Liang quickly stopped the girl, who was still deeply focused on drawing. “Lin Lin!”
“Huh?” The girl looked anxious after being interrupted. “If you have something to say, say it quickly! I’ll get drawing anxiety if I can’t finish this!”
“No, it’s not that… How did you do this?”
Gao Liang asked in confusion.
Ahem… Lin Lin suddenly felt it was hard to explain, so she gave a very forced answer.
“Well… uh… by memory. By memory! I… have superpowers?”
“Ah… that really is amazing.”
Gao Liang thought about it again and again, but couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.
In the end…
It really seemed like the only answer was that the girl had an unusual talent in this area.
Gao Liang nodded in amazement, then clapped his hands and said, “Lin Lin, this makes things much easier! You have so much talent in drawing. If we practice drawing different types of characters, you’ll be able to learn one thing and apply it to many others!”
“Mhm!”
Lin Lin nodded excitedly. Once they decided, they acted right away!
So, over the next period of time, the two of them caused total chaos in the art room. Paper was thrown everywhere!
Finally, with heavy breathing, the girl bent over slightly, panting hard, while wiping the sweat from her chest.
Sure enough, with the two of them staying so close together the whole time, in this kind of weather, it still felt a bit hot.
But in the end, the result was actually something worth celebrating.
At least now, Lin Lin could draw a character portrait mostly on her own.
Even though her skill level was still pretty average. She could copy a picture if she had one, but when it came to combining things by herself, it was still difficult.
Still, progress was progress!
The girl wiped the sweat from her face and shook her head. “N-no… I really can’t take it anymore. That’s it for today. Let’s stop here~”
“Alright, then let’s end it here~”
Gao Liang nodded and then said, “Lin Lin, go sit on the sofa and rest for a bit. I’ll… I’ll practice a little more.”
“Huh?” The girl puffed out her cheeks. “Even this is competitive studying now?”
“Pfft, no. Everything you’re learning right now is what I taught you. How is that competition? I just haven’t drawn for a long time. Since I finally started again, I want to enjoy it properly.”
“Mm…”
Lin Lin nodded. Who could really understand how a genius thinks?
She sat down on the sofa, looked at him, and asked curiously, “What do you want to draw?”
“I’m thinking about it too.”
Gao Liang thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead. “I’ve got it! Hey, Lin Lin, can you take out what’s inside the bag next to you?”
“Oh, the bag, the bag… let me see…”
As she spoke, the girl picked up the bag beside her and opened it, asking curiously, “I wanted to ask earlier, what exactly is inside this bag?”
“Haha, it’s nothing special. Just some reference material. A piece of clothing.”
“Clothing…”
The girl was still wondering why someone would bring clothes to draw, when suddenly she pulled out—
A cheongsam?
The blue-and-white porcelain style cheongsam gave off a strong classical feeling. The high slit made it look a bit sexy, adding an oddly… embarrassing charm.
Anyway, the girl held up the cheongsam and stared at it in shock.
Lin Lin was completely stunned, shocked for a whole year.
She slowly turned her head, her bad feeling growing stronger. Just then, Gao Liang scratched his head with a mischievous smile, looking a little embarrassed as he tried to speak.
This guy…
He actually wanted to cross-dress for drawing?!
“Y-you… I didn’t know you had that kind of hobby. Ahem… even if it might hurt my eyes a bit, go ahead, do what you want!”
The girl immediately bowed respectfully and handed the clothes to him. Gao Liang scratched his head again, completely confused about what Lin Lin was thinking.
“Uh… could you hang the clothes on a hanger? I want to use it as a reference.”
“Oh… oh…”
So that’s how it was.
Ugh, what kind of weird ideas was I thinking just now?!
Feeling embarrassed, Lin Lin quickly turned away. After hanging up the clothes, she was ready to flop back onto the sofa and relax.
But who would have thought…
After the clothes were hung up, Gao Liang looked at the hanger and the flat, empty cheongsam that wasn’t being filled by anyone’s body, and he really couldn’t find any inspiration.
It seemed that how the clothes looked depended on how the person wearing them looked.
Like this, no one could draw anything decent.
At least, Gao Liang couldn’t.
Hmm…
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Liang’s eyes slowly turned toward Lin Lin.
“Lin Lin?”
“Hm? What is it?”
The girl, already lying flat, squinted her eyes and asked tiredly.
“Could you wear this cheongsam… and be my model?”
“What?!”
