Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 222: Xiaoyuwan, are you wearing black stockings?
"I feel like you're pretty used to being away from home."

The two sat on the ground, looking up at the starry sky. Bai Yang chatted, "I get along pretty well with my classmates and roommates."

"Yeah." Chun Yuwan nodded: "I thought I would be a little uneasy, but it's okay."

She couldn't help but look at Bai Yang.

Maybe it’s because the person who makes me feel at ease is always by my side.

So even when facing an unknown environment and completely different people, I didn’t feel anything was scary.

"I asked Teacher Meng Jia, and it seems that our studio has one day off per week." Bai Yang said, "Where would you like to go for a stroll during your break?"

"There are many famous places in the capital, such as the China World Trade Center we passed by, as well as Xidan, Wangfujing, Sanlitun, and of course, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven."

Chun Yuwan thought for a moment and said, "I'm not interested in the commercial streets in big cities, but I can go and see the Forbidden City."

"Then it's settled." Bai Yang said teasingly, "You must be particularly suited to a place like the Forbidden City. If it were a few hundred years earlier, maybe that would still be your home."

Chun Yuwan glared at Bai Yang in annoyance: "What did you compare me to?"

"The imperial concubine." Bai Yang stared at Chun Yuwan's eyes and said, "The kind that brings chaos to the government."

"I don't want to." Chun Yuwan's eyes moved and she said, "Being a royal concubine must be very unfortunate."

"How can you be unfortunate when you are the one receiving so much love and care?" Bai Yang asked back.

"But you have to act according to the emperor's mood all your life. If he doesn't love you, your life will lose its meaning, and you will never be free. Of course, it's unfortunate." Chun Yuwan argued seriously: "If I could choose, I would just be a commoner."

"In that era, common people had no choice." Bai Yang laughed and said, "Especially common people like you, you must have had a bad fate. If you were lucky, you would be taken away to a brothel to be a courtesan, and if you were unlucky, you would be taken away by a playboy to be a concubine."

Chun Yuwan wrinkled her nose and said, "Then I don't want to be good-looking either. Just being ordinary is fine."

Bai Yang: "But you are just beautiful."

Chun Yuwan was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Yang.

Then I felt my face getting a little hot.

She knew she was pretty, but she still felt a little embarrassed when Bai Yang praised her so frankly.

For some reason, she asked, "So, if I'm not good-looking, will you not be friends with me?"

"Am I so superficial in your eyes?" Bai Yang pretended to be angry.

"Not really, I just feel like you're very obsessed with looks." Chun Yuwan curled her lips.

"It's human nature to like beautiful things." Bai Yang said confidently, "But, at least when it comes to friends, I don't care about appearance at all."

Chun Yuwan asked: "What about other aspects?"

"In what other aspects?" Bai Yang asked with his lips slightly raised.

"Just..." Chun Yuwan bit her lip: "Nothing."

"Oh, Xiaoyuwan is still shy?" Bai Yang spread his hands: "I know what you want to ask."

"If it comes to the standard of dating, then I can frankly admit that I am a die-hard fan of looks."

He stared at Chun Yuwan and said, "I don't like ordinary beauties. At least she has to be as pretty as you."

Chun Yuwan's heartbeat quickened a little, and she felt that this topic could not be continued, so she quickly said, "There are many girls in the world who look like me, such as Xiaolu, and Yiqing is also very beautiful."

"You can still like everyone you meet?" Bai Yang stroked his chin. "Duan Yiqing is indeed pretty, after all, she is from Sichuan and Chongqing. It's a pity that her legs are not long enough and she has to wear black stockings. If she changed to small fish balls, it would be more lethal."

Chun Yuwan: “?”

She shrank her legs slightly, "What bad idea are you thinking of again? I'm telling you, it's impossible!"

"I haven't even opened my mouth yet." Bai Yang protested, "Besides, black stockings are a very normal type of clothing for girls. When black stockings were first invented in the 16th century, they were snapped up by the upper class aristocrats. For many professions, black stockings were a must-have part of their professional attire."

"Are those professions you mentioned serious?" Chun Yuwan looked doubtful.

Bai Yang said righteously: "Xiao Yuwan, I am going to criticize you for this."

"For example, women in the real estate sales industry generally wear black stockings. What's so improper about that?"

"Besides, the main purpose of black stockings is to reduce skin exposure. They are slightly conservative and dignified. If you search Baidu, you will see that it says so!"

Chun Yuwan turned away from Bai Yang and muttered, "Did you go to Baidu to search?"

"Learning never ends. I just love learning," said Bai Yang.

"I don't believe you." Chun Yuwan whispered, "You just want to trick me into wearing it. Wear it for you to see."

"This is not called cheating, this is called advice," Bai Yang corrected.

"I do not want."

"Isn't it just a price? Are you proposing a condition?"

"No conditions!" Chun Yuwan couldn't help but stare at Bai Yang: "Is this what you think about all day? You either ask me to wear this or that, it always feels so weird!"

Bai Yang argued: "The main reason is that you don't really dress up. You are obviously a girl, but you dress in the same style as Teacher Luo every day."

"I think cotton and linen are very comfortable." Chun Yuwan changed the subject: "School will officially start tomorrow, so you should focus on painting."

"You know best what my painting looks like." Bai Yang curled his lips: "Anyway, I have to count on Teacher Yuwan for help."

"It's better if there are professional color teachers in the studio." Chun Yuwan said.

"I don't think the color teachers in the studio can paint better than you." Bai Yang said seriously, "Maybe they are more proficient in the techniques of taking the exam, but their talent for color perception is definitely not better than yours."

"Xiao Yuwan is a natural born painter!"

Chun Yuwan couldn't help but smile slightly: "It's not as powerful as you say."

"Anyway, I've made up my mind. I can learn techniques from the teacher, but I must copy your style when it comes to color mixing and use."

Bai Yang chuckled: "Maybe I can get a high score by then."

"You wish. The teachers at the art academy are not blind. They can tell at a glance whether your painting contains your own ideas or not." Chun Yuwan snorted.

"A score of over 80 should be okay, right?" Bai Yang said helplessly, "If it's any lower, I won't be able to go to CAFA with you."

"That's why you have to concentrate more." Chun Yuwan said seriously: "Just focus on painting and don't think about these messy things every day."

Bai Yang nodded in agreement: "Xiao Yuwan, you are right."

"So, if I get into CAFA, will you wear black stockings for me?"
