Chapter 11o: When Did You Start the Anthropomorphic Series?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Yuwu had participated in the filming of a variety show in the countryside. After the filming was completed, she was not in a hurry to go back and stayed for a few days. Coincidentally, she received a call from Lin Xiaowan, asking about fun things to do.

Gu Yuwu thought about it for a moment before she replied, “Shengjing is only that big. There aren’t that many fun things to do. Do you want to go out and play? At the end of the month, there’s a music festival at the sports stadium. Do you want to go?”

Lin Xiaowan did not have much interest, and after Gu Yuwu asked a few questions, she truthfully confessed that she wanted to spend time with Huo Zheng.

Gu Yuwu said, “I was going to invite you out today. It’s fine if you bring President Huo along.”

“Where are you now?”

“I’m not in Shengjing.”

When Lin Xiaowan heard this, she felt that it was not appropriate. After all, Huo Zheng was extremely busy with work. If he had to travel for a few days, he would have even more work. He was already tired, to begin with. In the end, she declined Gu Yuwu’s invitation.

Ever since Lin Xiaowan created an account on Speaker, she would occasionally post her paintings. She recently discovered a new hobby, that was to paint the desserts in the shop into various personified figures. The style was not exquisite, but they garnered quite a fair bit of comments.

Gu Yuwu had also reposted her post before so her posts were quite popular.

Ever since Lin Xiaowan went through Gu Yuwu’s past comments, they had been following each other and attracted many people’s attention.

Gu Yuwu was in the entertainment industry after all. Initially, people assumed that Lin Xiaowan was an up-and-coming celebrity, but when they followed her account, they only saw paintings. Lin Xiaowan’s account was also not verified; it was just an ordinary account. However, since Gu Yuwu was following her, they paid more attention to her. Perhaps, she would debut in the future.

Lin Xiaowan usually did pay attention to the notifications on Speaker. In the beginning, she would read the comments and even liked them. Later on, she gradually lost interest. On the other hand, she was slightly interested in the private messages received, especially the ones that asked about her painting or sent her pictures of artworks.

Today, Lin Xiaowan received a question about art that she did not quite know the answer to. As such, she took a screenshot and sent it to Hong Minhua.

[Hong Minhua: Little darling, when did you get a Speaker account? Why didn’t you tell Grandma so Grandma can follow you?]

[Lin Xiaowan: I just got it recently. The dessert shop has an account so I created one as well.]

Hong Minhua answered the question that Lin Xiaowan sent her before asking for Lin Xiaowan’s username. Not long after, Lin Xiaowan gained another follower.

Hong Minghua looked at the paintings that Lin Xiaowan posted before she sent Lin Xiaowan a message.

[Hong Minhua: When did you start this anthropomorphic series? You’re quite creative…]

Lin Xiaowan felt nervous, like a student whose homework was being checked by a teacher.

[Lin Xiawaon: 1 just drew them when I was inspired…]

Ever since the Bai family’s birthday party, Lin Xiaowan always picked a time when there were fewer people to go to the dessert shop. Every time she went, her employees would tell her that people had been looking for her. When her employees told them that she was not around, they did not seem to believe her employees. As a result, she felt quite pressured and ended up hiding in the kitchen most of the time. She would take photos of the freshly baked desserts and upload them to the shop’s Speaker account.

There was a communal phone with the shop’s Speaker account, and it was kept behind the counter. Whoever was free would take a photo and upload it to the account.

During that time, when Lin Xiaowan was free, she would draw the desserts in anthropomorphic states. Unexpectedly, Hong Minhua would praise them.

[Hong Minhua: The colors are bold, which is good. However, some lines and details can’t be improved. The strokes are a little immature, but you’ve made great progress since the time you started.]

[Hong Minhua: Are you interested in participating in a competition?]

Lin Xiaowan’s eyes widened when she saw the message. She had only begun to take lessons not long ago. Moreover, she had learned it very casually as a hobby.

When she had created her account on Speaker, she had listed art as her interest. For this reason, Speaker would usually recommend art-related posts to her. She had seen some artworks that won competitions, and she knew her artwork was far from being comparable to them.

[Lin Xiaowan: No, no, no! I don’t think that’s a good idea. How can I compete when the others are all professionals?]

‘How can my half-baked artwork be worthy?’

[Hong Minhua: It’s not a professional competition. It’s just a casual competition for entertainment.]

[Hong Minhua: Don’t be nervous. In any case, the competition is not happening any time soon. When the time comes, 1’11 tell you more about it. You have your own style in this series, but your foundation is still weak. I’ll give you more basic homework after this.]

Lin Xiaowan had never missed her art lessons with Hong Minhua. She would hand in her homework once a week. She did very well, and Hong Minhua also praised her for having a good sense of colors more than once.

In Hong Minima’s opinion, if a good seedling like Lin Xiaowan could persevere, she would have quite a lot of achievements in the future.

However, Lin Xiaowan did not take the praise to heart.

Hong Minhua had also seen Lin Xiaowan’s attitude, and she knew that Lin Xiaowan was not passionate about art and was not ambitious. Lin Xiaowan was already very satisfied with being praised and had no desire to improve. For this reason, she was also very lax with Lin Xiaowan.

However, the sudden appearance of Lin Xiaowan’s anthropomorphic paintings made her think twice.

Hong Minhua continued to look through Lin Xiaowan’s paintings before she left a comment on a post, pointing out a few of her shortcomings and areas that needed improvement. Of course, she also did not forget to praise Lin Xiaowan so Lin Xiaowan would not feel discouraged.

[Hong Minhua: Now that I’ve given you ideas on how to improve, do you think you can apply the changes to one of your paintings?]

[Hong Minhua: You can just pick the one you like most and make the changes…]

Lin Xiaowan looked at the comment in horror. Hong Minhua was a prominent figure after all. Moreover, the post the latter commented on was the latest one. There was no comment apart from the one by Hong Minhua.

[Hong Minhua: Little darling, for this week’s homework, draw ten sketches of people in motion.]

Lin Xiaowan could not pretend not to see her teacher’s message so she could only reply bitterly.

[Lin Xiaowan: Yes, Grandma.]

She even added a pouting emoji at the end..
