Volume 2 Chapter 63: You Draw, I Guess
“I listened to a lot of plans from other classes, but most of them were pretty ordinary. Everyone thinks this big window causes a lot of trouble.”
Gao Liang pointed at the wall and started explaining his thoughts to Lin Lin. She listened very carefully, looking like she really wanted to do a good job with this planning.
Honestly, when Lin Lin is serious about doing something well, she looks really cute, and impressive too.
Gao Liang suddenly stopped in the middle of his explanation. Lin Lin froze for a moment, then puffed up her cheeks and lightly patted his shoulder.
“Hey, hey, what are you doing? Why are you staring like that?!”
“Cough, cough…”
Gao Liang pulled his eyes back and coughed awkwardly a couple of times, then continued,
“I didn’t get any great ideas from other classes, but on the way back, I thought of a pretty good one!”
“Hm? Let’s hear it.”
With her permission, Gao Liang nodded. He pointed at the classroom window glass, then at a section of the tile wall to the right of the window.
“Let’s expand the display area. We can treat the glass as part of the board too. Use markers that are easy to wipe off to draw some simple designs here. Then we put the main title on the right side, and use the window area as a subtitle.”
“Eh?”
Just hearing this, Lin Lin suddenly felt enlightened. She slapped her forehead and continued excitedly.
“Then we can stick the better hand-written posters on the bottom under the window, and move the main content to the right side! Mm~”
She was about to proudly call this a genius-level ‘Lin Lin Grand Strategy,’ but…
Wait, something felt off.
No, no, she couldn’t call it her genius idea, because… it was Gao Liang’s idea.
Cough cough. Even if her rival’s idea was a little clever…
Overall, it was still pretty normal. Expanding the space and all that, anyone could think of it with a bit of effort.
Anyway, with that settled, the two discussed it briefly, then went back into the classroom to get watercolor pens and other tools.
Uh…
Just to be safe, Lin Lin poked the window glass with the tip of a watercolor pen, then gently wiped the color dots with her finger to test how easy it was to clean.
Gao Ye curiously leaned over. Probably trying to ease the awkward mood, she blinked and said:
“No need to worry so much, Lin Lin. Worst case, we just use wet wipes at the end. It comes off easily. Look!”
As she spoke, Gao Ye pulled out a pack of wet wipes from her pocket, drew a few lines on the glass, then gently wiped them away.
The glass became clean again. Lin Lin nodded with satisfaction. Looks like these pens really are easy to wipe off.
In that case… hehe~
Lin Lin picked up the pen and started drawing on the glass. Even though her art practice before was rushed, and she didn’t really master it fast. She mostly relied on memory during the competition.
She had still improved at least a little. It wasn’t like she learned nothing.
So now, she finally found a chance to show what she could do. She let her imagination run wild and drew boldly on the glass.
After a while, she finished.
Lin Lin put down the pen, turned around, and looked at everyone with a mischievous smile.
“Guess what this is?”
Uh…
“You draw, I guess?” Lin Yu said calmly.
Lin Lin nodded.
That’s right—You Draw, I Guess!
Wow, Gao Liang immediately became alert and focused, carefully studying the girl’s drawing.
If he could be the first to guess what Lin Lin was drawing, she would probably be very happy, right?
Ahem, here we go!
First of all, what Lin Lin drew, uh…
It… it’s definitely not a person, right?
Judging by the shape, it looks more like an animal.
And looking at the colors, this familiar yellow, plus the cartoon-like style, it’s not hard to think of a classic character from an animated series.
That’s right. It’s that famous yellow Pokémon from Pokémon, which is still very popular. The one countless people love, with two little arms that move, super cute, super adorable!
“Pikachu?” Gao Ye suddenly asked from the side.
Pfft—hearing his little sister say that almost made Gao Liang laugh. How could this be Pikachu? This is clearly—
“Huh? I didn’t expect you to guess it right!” Lin Lin nodded right away.
Congratulations! Had her drawing skills reached such a high level that people could recognize it at a glance? So touching~
Pi… Pikachu?
Eh?
That’s not right, is it?!
Gao Liang stood there, the corner of his mouth twitching. This… this isn’t Psyduck, is it?
I mean, look at that round head, those “big smart” eyes, that blank expression, and most importantly…
This Pikachu barely even has visible ears! And there’s no red cheeks at all!
“Ahahaha, actually I don’t really watch Pokémon,” Lin Lin laughed awkwardly and scratched her head. “I only watched a little when I was a kid, so I kind of forgot what Pikachu looks like…”
Gao Ye also laughed awkwardly. That left Gao Liang standing there, quietly turning his eyes to meet Lin Yu’s gaze.
Uh…
The two of them were silent for a moment.
How do you not know what Pikachu looks like?! Have you been living under a rock in the middle of nowhere?
Still, even though Lin Lin’s Pikachu was a bit abstract, the game of ‘You Draw, I Guess’ really did bring some fun to everyone, breaking the boredom.
Following this idea, Gao Ye changed the rules a bit. One person would get a word prompt and draw it. The second person would look at the drawing and write a new prompt, then let the third person draw based on that. This continued one by one, to see how far the final result would drift from the original idea.
Of course, while someone was drawing, the others were not allowed to watch. So everyone turned to face the wall like they were “reflecting on their mistakes.”
While the game was going on, a small situation happened in the classroom.
A girl from Han Kui’s usual group was drawing at her desk. A few girls beside her laughed and lightly tapped on her desk.
The girl with glasses looked up. She was shy and seemed a bit scared of the girls calling her.
But those girls didn’t really have bad intentions. Han Kui wasn’t there, so they were just bored and looking for something to talk about.
“Hey, what are you drawing?” one of them asked.
“Me…?” The girl with glasses covered her drawing a little, feeling embarrassed, and said softly, “There’s nothing to do, so I’m drawing a hand-made poster…”
“Heh, why even bother?” another girl said in a sarcastic tone. “This activity is being handled by Lin Lin. She decides whose work gets put up outside. She definitely remembers all of us who usually hang out with Sister Kui. How could she ever choose you?”
The girl with glasses froze when she heard that. Then she lowered her head and said quietly,
“I… I just want to draw. It doesn’t matter whether it gets chosen or not.”
“Mm… boring.”
