Chapter 38: Chapter 38 World-Class Painter Fang Shaobei
Gu Qimiao didn’t know where they were going, so she didn’t pack anything; she just carried her bag with her.
Exactly two minutes later, he appeared at the door with a drawing board on his back. His tall stature made the board look very light.
"Let’s go."
Gu Qimiao pulled open the glass door and asked him as she walked, "Are we going to do some sketching?"
"I’m taking you to a place where you should be at your age."
Gu Qimiao was curious, where should she go at her age?
Since he didn’t drive, it shouldn’t be too far. It wasn’t until she saw the art academy that Gu Qimiao suddenly realized.
At her age, she should indeed be in school.
Because she was good at art since childhood, and at twelve, she met Fang Shaobei, such a good teacher. Her academic performance wasn’t bad either; she was directly admitted to a famous art school in her first year of high school. She graduated at twenty and has been working with Fang Shaobei ever since. Now she was somewhat famous.
The school had started, and students were bustling around. Gu Qimiao didn’t stand out, but Fang Shaobei in his formal attire did draw attention. As they walked, some girls were swooning over him.
Faced with such a charming, handsome gentleman, young girls usually had no resistance. Yet, walking beside Fang Shaobei, Gu Qimiao thought, if she brought Shen Yanchen here, the reaction would definitely be more intense.
"Miaomiao, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Qimiao stopped and turned around, realizing that Fang Shaobei had somehow turned right while she was still walking straight. She quickly ran over, laughing and explained, "I haven’t been to school in a long time, I miss it."
"Then I’ll bring you often from now on."
"Teacher, are you here to scout for locations?"
Fang Shaobei’s gaze fell not far away, and he pointed with his chin, "Look."
Gu Qimiao followed his direction and saw a banner hanging high in front of a teaching building: Specially invited world-class painter Fang Shaobei will hold a painting training lecture on March 1st in the large lecture hall of Building B.
Gu Qimiao was shocked and covered her mouth, looking at the crowd in front of the building. Were they all here for him?
This popularity wasn’t just of a world-class painter, but of a world-class celebrity!
He reached out and took Gu Qimiao’s arm, "Let’s go in from the back."
Gu Qimiao followed him blankly, thinking that if they didn’t go from the back, they wouldn’t be able to get in at all!
She sighed as they walked, "Wow, I didn’t expect to be so lucky to have such a good teacher for private training."
He responded, without modesty, "Now you know how blessed you are."
"Yes, yes! Much more blessed than these kids!"
Fang Shaobei raised his hand and knocked on her head, "You are still a kid yourself."
"But teacher, what am I here for? To help applaud from the audience?"
Fang Shaobei said, "A world-class painter giving a lecture without an assistant would be laughable."
Only then did Gu Qimiao understand her purpose here, and she pretended to be disappointed, "So I’m just here to be an errand girl."
"You should feel blessed to run errands for a stunningly handsome teacher."
When they reached the lecture hall, Gu Qimiao indeed felt she should be grateful.
Because standing on the podium, she saw the entire hall filled with people. There were no seats left; even standing barely allowed them to see the front. The students were all on their feet, craning their necks. There were at least a thousand of them, and even the hallway was packed.
Gu Qimiao dutifully performed her assistant’s role by quietly setting up the drawing board.
The host began to introduce Fang Shaobei, and the students, who had been waiting eagerly, became more and more excited.
"Now, please welcome Professor Fang Shaobei!"
Amid waves of cheers and applause, Fang Shaobei greeted everyone with a polite smile, while Gu Qimiao stood quietly to the side.
Without much extra talk, Fang Shaobei gave a brief self-introduction and began his lecture with his humorous teaching style.
He demonstrated his solid painting skills, his strokes smooth and swift as if he had practiced thousands of times. He explained key points as he painted, his fluent speech and technique further showcasing his charm. Below, photographers took photos and videos.
Gu Qimiao diligently performed her assistant’s duties, helping him with his art supplies.
However, Fang Shaobei’s charm didn’t completely overshadow her. Voices from below commented, "That assistant lady is also very pretty!"
"Is she a student from our academy? She looks quite young."
"Wow, it’s so lucky to be standing beside Professor Fang."
A boy said, "I want to pursue her!"
The girls beside him exclaimed, "Senior, stay calm!"
