born stubborn

Li Xinze didn't care what techniques and painting techniques the two of them used.

No matter how different the painting style is, he can tell at a glance whether the work is excellent or poor.

Both Yuan Yang and Liang Yue painted well, but what he really cared about was their use of color.

In Liang Yue's pictures, the colors are rich and jumpy, with high purity, vivid like summer girls' flowery skirts, bright and enthusiastic.

As for Yuan Yang's, the overall color is dignified and subdued, and the shadows are all black, but they are connected with the bright parts presumptuously, as if they are swallowing each other.

Color can reflect character, and works can show people's hearts.

Even though Li Xinze was physically and mentally exhausted by other things, he still cared about his students very much.

From the works of these two students who freely played without guidance, Li Xinze directly saw their hearts.

A character suddenly, relaxed to the extreme, but seems to be unable to restrain the lack of rules and constraints.

A person with a cold and straightforward personality, with a heavy mind, eager to break through his state of mind, but always conflicted between choices.

The strong contrast forms a strong picture impact.

The restlessness and restlessness of youth are vividly reflected in the works.

"Ms. Li, who of the two can draw better?"

Before Yuan Yang and Liang Yue could speak, Hao Tian had already asked Li Xinze for their answers.

Li Xinze looked at the two finished paintings posted on the wall. They were not art, but they were cutting-edge. Li Xinze smiled: "Both are good, but they also have problems."

This is not the answer that Yuan Yang and Liang Yue want. They just want to know who wins and who loses.

"Which one is the best?" Liang Yue asked with a shy face.

Li Xinze looked back at Liang Yue, then at Yuan Yang, cleared his throat and laughed, "If you have to distinguish, Yuan Yang's paintings are good."

"You won again!" Liang Yue heard that it was Yuan Yang's victory, and he was happier than he himself won. He didn't even ask the reason, and excitedly stretched his arms on Yuan Yang's shoulders, and shook them tiredly, "Yuan Yang, you've been beating me all the time, that's amazing!"

"You!" Yuan Yang couldn't bear to push him away, "What did you say about others just now? It's better not to do anything if you can talk?"

"Huh?" Liang Yue scratched his forehead with his index finger in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "The questions didn't teach you much, but you learned the words very quickly."

Yuan Yang ignored him, but looked at Li Xinze puzzled.

Putting two works with completely different styles together, it is a bit strange that Li Xinze just said that he is good without explaining the reason.

Li Xinze looked at the two of them for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You two come to the office with me."

Confused Yuan Yang and happy Liang Yue followed Li Xinze to his office.

Although neither of them knew why Li Xinze called them over during class.

The office has been tidied up, at least there is a place to get down and sit.

Li Xinze stared at the two of them again, and said with a smile, "So you are competing in a competition? Are you competing in the toilet, or in painting?"

"Just kidding," Liang Yue explained hurriedly with a smile, "I didn't take it seriously."

"Well," Li Xinze put away his smile, looked at the two of them seriously, and suddenly asked, "Which university do you want to apply for?"

In Li Xinze's question, he didn't mention his surname or nomination. Obviously, he was not asking one of them, but both of them at the same time.

"Nanying Academy of Fine Arts." Liang Yue said the answer without even thinking about it.

Yuan Yang lowered his head and said nothing.

"Where's Yuan Yang?" Li Xinze looked at Yuan Yang.

"I didn't think about it." Yuan Yang said.

The Nanying Academy of Fine Arts is the highest goal for art candidates across the country, and it is also the goal Xia Weichu set for Yuan Yang, and therefore arranged for Ding Yuanyuan to tutor him.

But in Yuan Yang's heart, Nanying Academy of Fine Arts is still a highland in his dreams.

Liang Yue was determined to apply for Nanying Academy of Fine Arts, because Liang Yue's cultural achievements were not worried at all, and his major was not bad.

But Yuan Yang, on the one hand, doesn't like art majors very much, and on the other hand, he is not sure about the two cultures, so he can only answer without thinking about it.

Liang Yue turned his head to look at Yuan Yang in surprise, and when Yuan Yang said that he had not thought about it, Liang Yue frowned obviously.

However, Li Xinze had been staring at Yuan Yang the whole time. After careful consideration, he said, "Yuan Yang, you and Liang Yue should report to Nanying Academy of Fine Arts."

Li Xinze said, let him and Liang Yue apply to Nanying Academy of Fine Arts together?

Where did Li Xinze get his confidence?

No, where did the confidence in him come from?

Yuan Yang looked at Li Xinze incredulously, "Mr. Li, I won't pass the exam."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Li Xinze and Liang Yue almost spoke in unison.

There was a moment of eerie silence in the office, and all three of them were stunned.

Li Xinze got up, took out a folder from the bookshelf behind him, dug out some materials, spread them out on the desk,

"This year's art class, the two of you still have hope to enter the Nanying Academy of Fine Arts. There are a total of 8 places in Nanying City, one of which was admitted to the third middle school in the previous two classes. I hope that both of you can enter this class."

Li Xinze was not discussing with them, but as if giving an order, he poked at the pile of information and said:

"Take part in the training camp in another month, until the professional entrance examination in early March next year. These are the application materials for Nanying Academy of Fine Arts. Each of you should take a copy and go back and have a look."

Liang Yue divided the materials into two parts, and handed one part to Yuan Yang.

"Ms. Li, how far is our current level from the admission standards of Nanying Academy of Fine Arts?"

Li Xinze smiled, "How can I answer this question? How far is the distance? You will know when you arrive at the training class."

Liang Yue nodded. Li Xinze was right. The intensive training class was specially prepared for the national special examination items. It took at least two to three months to focus on intensive practice in advance for the assessment items.

Yuan Yang was a little depressed, he didn't expect that Li Xinze would force him to make a choice like Xia Weichu.

He didn't like this feeling, even he had considered Nanying Academy of Fine Arts.

But being suddenly placed on the shoulders of others and forcing him to take the exam is completely different.

Li Xinze seemed to see Yuan Yang's hesitation, and encouraged him: "Yuan Yang, Nanying Academy of Fine Arts is not difficult to pass, don't put too much psychological pressure on you."

"Oh." Yuan Yang said perfunctorily.

This is not a question of pressure, it is a question of wanting and not wanting, wanting and not wanting, being able and not being able to, and it is not yet the turn of great pressure to interfere with oneself.

"However, I have a request." Li Xinze said suddenly, "When you two attend the training class, you must be together."

"En!" Liang Yue agreed without thinking about it.

"Why?" Yuan Yang not only couldn't understand, but was also very surprised. Could it be that Li Xinze had to forcefully arrange this kind of thing for him?

Li Xinze said with a smile: "The works of the two of you complement each other. I hope you can learn from each other's strengths, or influence each other. This will be a breakthrough for you."

Li Xinze didn't make it very clear, why your personalities need to be integrated, your styles need to be crossed, if you two are very strong, then encourage each other and so on.

He didn't say anything about what he saw from the two gouache paintings.

Just like he didn't say why he decided that Yuan Yang's picture was better than Liang Yue's. In fact, what he was looking at was not the work, but the face.

At that time, two of his students stood side by side in front of him. When the works could not be distinguished, one had a relaxed and indifferent face, while the other had a heavy and tense face. Judging from the intuitive feeling, Yuan Yang could no longer be denied.

Those who are teachers have all studied psychology, but some teachers cannot apply psychological theories to practice after taking office.

And some teachers can apply it with ease.

Li Xinze falls into this category.

There is no doubt that Yuan Yang has a talent for painting.

What's more, Xia Weichu's house where he lived provided him with a natural nurturing environment.

But this student named Yuan Yang has always been negative, personally emotionally negative.

This kind of negativity lasted for more than two years, causing his academic performance to plummet. Fortunately, his major did not fall behind.

Li Xinze asked Xia Weichu about Yuan Yang's situation, and after learning the reason, he thought carefully about how to help Yuan Yang.

It's a pity that Li Xinze's family had an accident during the second semester of his sophomore year, which left him with no time to take care of the individual situations of the students.

Coincidentally, when the third year of high school started, Liang Yue was actually transferred in the class.

Li Xinze observed that Liang Yue was also a problem student.

Don't look at him being excellent in all aspects, with a cheerful and active personality, but if he is too cheerful and active, it is an illusion.

In terms of family situation, Liang Yue's family is not much better than Yuan Yang's family.

Fortunately, Yuan Yang can't tolerate it, and vents his depression and dissatisfaction all the time, everywhere and everywhere.

Liang Yue, on the other hand, blindly hid and evaded cleverly. The more tension the arrow is stretched on the string, the easier it is to kill it with one blow.

So Yuan Yang can no longer be denied, otherwise he really won't be able to get up.

As for Liang Yue, if he couldn't handle the sudden explosion, he would collapse suddenly.

Interestingly, these two problem students came together.

One dismantled and the other built,

One drags backward and the other pulls forward,

One indulgent and one cautious,

One is straightforward and the other is hidden,

The same smart, the same strong, the same stubborn, even the works are not high or low.

Li Xinze smiled.

He gave them both a supreme aim.

He wanted to see to what extent this delicate classmate relationship could be fused with each other.

"Breakthrough progress, did you hear? Yuan Yang, Mr. Li said, if we are together, there will be breakthrough progress. Tell me, how far can we make a breakthrough?"

On the way back to the studio, Liang Yue didn't stop talking, and kept repeating Li Xinze's words to Yuan Yang.

"You had better……"

Yuan Yang stopped, looked at Liang Yue impatiently, paused and said in a low voice, "Liang Yue, you'd better not get too close to me."

"Why?" Liang Yue looked at Yuan Yang in confusion.

Yuan Yang frowned, "Because..."

Because I like boys!

Because I'm afraid I can't stand the temptation!

Because I am at an age where I will be hard for no reason!

Because I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it anymore, so I'll fuck you again!

None of the above four items could be said, so Yuan Yang blushed and found a more plausible excuse:

"Because... I'm not used to it. It's uncomfortable to be too close to others."
