This Omega is Sweet and Wild - Chap 94
Chap 94
A few days later, Xiao Yiheng found that the other students in the winter camp looked at him differently.
In the past, there was a faint rejection, but now there was a strong curiosity.
Surrounded by such eyes, Xiao Yiheng thought that he was some kind of magical rare animal.
The noisy Ai Mi let it slip and told Xiao Yiheng that everyone had found his information on the internet.
Ai Mi asked, “You’re studying and painting, do you have 48 hours a day?”
Xiao Yiheng: “Of course not, I’m just smarter than the average person, so I can do twice the work with half the effort.”
“…” Ai Mi said, “You’re asking for a beating.”
In the evening, Xiao Yiheng called Li Cheng and told him about the winter camp.
Li Cheng laughed and said, “I really want to see your classmates’ expressions, it must be wonderful.”
Li Cheng thought about it and realized that he had easily accepted Xiao Yiheng’s “omnipotence.” He didn’t even think about how Xiao Yiheng could take care of both studying and painting, as if it was natural for him to be so excellent.
Xiao Yiheng asked, “What about you? Did anything interesting happen on your side?”
Li Cheng: “Nothing interesting, but something annoying … I met a white-skinned gorilla in the internal restaurant!”
Li Cheng went on and on about that racist athlete for a long time. The more Xiao Yiheng listened, the more serious his expression became. If it weren’t for the fact that they were separated by the ocean, he would have taught that bastard a lesson for Li Cheng.
“Recently, when we did our daily training in the pool, we also saw that bastard. When he took off his clothes, his chest hair almost reached his stomach. From a distance, I thought that the athletes from Ao Country were wearing one-piece swimming suits!”
Li Cheng complained, “But that bastard is really something. I secretly paid attention to his 100m sprint results, and they were actually on par with mine!”
Xiao Yiheng teased him, “Why, Li Ge is worried that he can’t beat him?”
“How is this possible?”
As expected, Li Cheng was goaded. “It’s only interesting if it’s difficult. Besides, I’m a human being. Do you think I can’t even beat a gorilla that only knows how to swim?”
Xiao Yiheng laughed out loud.
The two of them chatted for a while. Xiao Yiheng told Li Cheng that Li Cheng had become an internet celebrity on the short video website. Tens of millions of people had watched the video of Li Cheng picking him up from the airport.
Li Cheng said proudly, “Of course I know about this. My little brother told me a long time ago!”
Li Cheng didn’t have time to browse the short video websites, but his underlings had time. They downloaded all the welcome videos from various angles and sent them to Li Cheng.
Needless to say, some uploaders were very impressive. They even added music and filters to their videos. After watching them, even Li Cheng was infatuated with his handsome self.
Li Cheng excitedly sent those videos to Xiao Yiheng so that he could enjoy them. It would be best if he could watch them three times a day so that he could dream of them at night.
Xiao Yiheng said, “Even if I don’t watch them, I still dream of you at night.”
Li Cheng was curious. “What do you dream of me about?”
“I dream that you don’t wear clothes —”
Li Cheng was embarrassed. “You, you, you, you, you!!”
Xiao Yiheng: “— — Be my mannequin.”
Li Cheng: “…” He flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Don’t pause when you speak!
And if you want to be a model, just be a model. Why do you specifically emphasize that you don’t wear clothes? ”
Alpha said innocently, “Because the mannequins in the Academy of Fine Arts don’t wear clothes.”
Li Cheng was shocked. “All of them don’t wear clothes?”
“The human body is very delicate. If you don’t take off your clothes, how can you see the texture of the skin and the texture of the muscles?” Xiao Yiheng’s tone was extremely serious. “This is art. Cheng, don’t let your imagination run wild.”
How could Li Cheng not let his imagination run wild?
His cheeks were puffed up in anger. The little sun in the human world had become a little vinegar jar in the human world.
Although Li Cheng had heard before that people who studied art had to draw nude models, when he thought of Xiao Yiheng staring at other people’s bodies for hours, his heart was filled with jealousy.
He pretended to be generous and asked, “Do you draw men or women?”
How could Xiao Yiheng not know what he was thinking? He deliberately said, “The one I drew yesterday was a female Omega.”
Li Cheng: “!!!”
F * ck, if he had known earlier, when Xiao Yiheng asked him to be a model, he wouldn’t have hesitated to wear clothes. He should have taken them off!
It was better to take off his underwear!
Otherwise, when Xiao Yiheng arrived in the capital, he would have to see other Omega.
Li Cheng asked sourly, “How is your drawing? Are you very happy?”
Xiao Yiheng: “It’s okay. It’s just a little difficult. The model’s skin is too loose. It’s all piled up together. It’s very complicated to draw.”
“… Loose skin?”
“Yes.” Xiao Yiheng’s expression was serious, but the smile on the corner of his mouth betrayed him. “After all, she’s a sixty-year-old grandmother. It’s the first time I’ve come into contact with a model of this age.”
Li Cheng: “…”
Li Cheng was so angry that he shouted. He finally realized that Xiao Yiheng was deliberately playing with him!
The two talked about some meaningless topics on the phone until Li Cheng heard a knock on the door behind him. He reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Yiheng and hung up the phone.
Li Cheng hid in the bathroom in his room to call Xiao Yiheng. He hid in the bathroom for more than half an hour and his phone was hot.
He put away his phone and opened the bathroom door.
Outside the door, Chen Miao with curly hair and a face mask said curiously, “Li Cheng, you’re finally willing to come out!
I almost thought you were sucked away by the toilet! ”
Li Cheng: “Go away, I’m still alive and kicking.”
Chen Miao: “Since you’re fine, hurry up and come out. The team doctor and coaches will be here in a while.”
Just as Chen Miao said, within a few minutes, there was a sound of people talking outside the room.
Li Cheng opened the door and saw the team doctor and two coaches standing outside their room. They were holding devices to measure their body temperature and blood pressure.
This competition was very important. They were going to fight for the country, so they had to adjust their body condition.
Every night, the team doctor would come to check their bodies to make sure they were fine.
The team doctor took the ear detector and put it in Chen Miao’s and Li Cheng’s ears. He looked at the numbers and frowned.
“37 ° 2 … What’s going on, Li Cheng? You’ve been having a low fever for a few days.”
The team doctor frowned. “Previously, I thought you had a low fever because you hadn’t acclimatized to a foreign country. I thought you could rely on your own immune system and didn’t need to take medicine. But now that you have a low fever, it’s a big problem.”
The team doctor took out the blood pressure device. The numbers showed that Li Cheng’s blood pressure and heart rate were higher than in China. Although it was only a little higher, it still needed to be taken seriously at this time.
Li Cheng said blankly, “But I don’t feel any discomfort … I don’t feel dizzy, vomiting, or diarrhea. I feel like I have endless energy in my body. I feel like I’m floating when I walk.”
Coach Yu also told the team doctor that Li Cheng’s training was very good recently. It was just that he seemed to be more talkative than usual.
Li Cheng: “Is that so?
I’m usually quite talkative too. ”
The team doctor pondered. “Inexplicable excitement, elevated body temperature, accelerated heart rate … It seems like he’s not sick.”
Being overly excited was not good for athletes. During a competition, they had to be tight on the outside and relaxed on the inside. Their bodies needed to be excited, but their emotions had to be stable and their minds calm. Only then could they achieve better results.
A guess appeared in the team doctor’s mind, but out of caution, he didn’t rashly say it out loud.
He only took a little blood from Li Cheng and said that he wanted to take it away for testing. The results would be out the next day.
“Okay, you can take it.” Li Cheng calmly stretched out his arm. He was in such good condition, how could he be sick?
Li Cheng didn’t tell Xiao Yiheng about the blood test because he was afraid that he would worry.
However, at this time, Xiao Yiheng was wholeheartedly focused on the drawing board. He didn’t notice Li Cheng’s cover.
During this three-week winter camp, the Hua Country Academy of Fine Arts arranged hundreds of hours of imitation and life drawing classes for the students.
Outdoor life drawing classes could only be carried out after it snowed, so for the time being, they could only draw indoors.
Although the students’ creative direction was different, some were oil paintings, some were traditional Chinese paintings, and some were watercolors, no matter what direction they were in, the foundation was indispensable.
Early in the morning, when Xiao Yiheng came to the studio with the drawing board, the teacher announced that they would be drawing a sculpture today.
However, this sculpture wasn’t the David that everyone had drawn thousands of times, but a work created by a famous sculptor from the Hua Country Academy of Fine Arts.
This work was called “Hand”. The theme of the work was a pair of weather-beaten hands.
The inspiration for the creation came from the story of the famous fifteenth-century painter Du Lei and his brother. Du Lei and his brother both loved painting. Since ancient times, painting was an extremely expensive thing.
Du Lei and his brother tossed a coin. In the end, Du Lei won the opportunity to study, and his brother had to work in the mines to earn money for his younger brother’s tuition.
Later, Du Lei came back from his studies and became famous. He decided to sell his paintings to send his brother to study. However, because his brother worked in the mines for many years, his joints were swollen and his fingers were injured. He couldn’t pick up a brush to create those delicate works …
That senior brother used this story as a model to create this sculpture, ‘Hand’, which won many awards.
Some collectors wanted to buy this work with a huge sum of money, but that senior donated it to the internal exhibition hall of his alma mater.
This time, during the winter camp, the teacher specially moved this work to the studio for everyone to draw.
The exhibition table was already set up. The students moved the drawing board to their positions, picked up the brushes, and began to observe and draw.
Xiao Yiheng looked very carefully.
He knew the creation background of this work and had also seen Du Lei’s “Praying Hand”. The emotions expressed by the two works were the same.
This pair of hands carved from mountain rocks was rough but delicate.
The knuckles were swollen, the nails were deformed, the fingertips were covered with calluses, and the back of the hands was full of layers of scars. There were even scabs that had just healed.
The two hands extended upwards as if they were holding up hope, but also as if they were touching an unreachable dream.
The light fell on this sculpture and cast a very complicated light and shadow.
The director walked among the crowd and directed everyone as he walked.
The people around them quickly started to move their brushes. Xiao Yiheng was much later than everyone else before he started to paint.
However, his drawing speed was very fast. Soon, the shape was formed and he began to draw in depth.
Drawing could be slow or fast. If you were fast enough, you could finish a sketch in three hours. If you were careful, it was possible to finish a sketch in a few weeks.
This time, the teacher asked them to try to slow down as much as possible. They used the slowest speed to carve, research, and explore, so they sat in front of the sculpture for a whole day.
The next morning, Ai Mi woke up early and rushed to the studio to continue to finish her drawing without even eating breakfast. She was determined to compete for “first in the morning”.
Who would have thought that when she arrived, there was already another figure in the studio.
Xiao Yiheng sat behind the drawing board. When he saw Ai Mi come, he nodded at her as a greeting.
“What time did you get here in the morning?” Ai Mi looked at her watch and decided that she must strive to come earlier than Xiao Yiheng in the future.
Xiao Yiheng replied: “I didn’t leave last night.”
Ai Mi: “…” She was shocked. When she looked carefully, Xiao Yiheng’s eyes were bloodshot and there was a slight shadow under his eyes.
“Please, this is not the final assessment. It’s just a daily training. Even if you want to get the final recommendation, you don’t have to work so hard from now on, right?”
Xiao Yiheng didn’t answer.
She, and everyone in the studio, didn’t know how much Xiao Yiheng valued this winter camp opportunity.
They each painted for a while. During this time, more students came in one after another.
It was winter in the north and the winter camp classes were late. It was almost 8: 30 and only a third of the students were in the classroom.
At this moment, an unexpected figure appeared outside the classroom – Director Lin actually came to see them!
Director Lin was very old and had long stopped teaching students. His existence was more like a “symbol” of the Academy of Fine Arts in Hua Country. The students never expected that Director Lin would actually come to the studio.
Everyone was very excited and hurriedly stood up to greet Director Lin.
Although Director Lin was old, he was hale and hearty. He wore a three-piece suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His white beard was neatly combed and he looked very elegant.
Director Lin walked into the studio and looked at the students’ paintings one by one. Occasionally, he would stop at a painting and briefly comment on it, pointing out the student’s shortcomings and problems.
When he walked in front of Ai Mi’s painting, Ai Mi was so excited that her pink hair was about to turn red. Director Lin took a pen and slightly modified two parts of her painting. At that time, she looked as if she was flying on the spot and wanted to frame the painting as a family heirloom.
Director Lin walked and looked around. Finally, he slowly walked in front of Xiao Yiheng.
The whole class suddenly became quiet – it was rumored that Xiao Yiheng knew Director Lin’s students and got a recommendation letter from Director Lin to enter the winter camp. Director Lin didn’t come to the studio this time just to see Xiao Yiheng, right?
If Xiao Yiheng knew what they were thinking, he would helplessly refute the rumor: He did get a recommendation letter from Director Lin, but he never saw Director Lin’s face from beginning to end.
Teacher Qiu Xian told him that Director Lin just cherished talent and gave him a chance to enter the school. As for whether Xiao Yiheng could seize this opportunity in the future, it was Xiao Yiheng’s own business. Director Lin wouldn’t interfere too much.
After all, at Director Lin’s age, he had seen too many “genius youths”. However, not all geniuses could become talents, and a large number of them would disappear into the crowd.
Under the gaze of all the students in the class, Director Lin stopped in front of Xiao Yiheng’s painting.
He quietly looked at the drawing board, his pair of eyes full of wisdom inspecting every line on the painting. Xiao Yiheng stood modestly at the side, waiting for his advice.
Finally, Director Lin spoke.
But he asked an irrelevant question.
“Little student, what’s your name?” He turned his head to look at the young alpha next to him and said in a kind tone.
Xiao Yiheng was stunned and replied, “Xiao Yiheng.”
“Xiao Yiheng?”
Director Lin recalled for a few seconds. “I remember, you’re Qiu Xian’s student?”
“Yes, Miss Qiu is my teacher.”
Director Lin nodded and smiled kindly. “That’s right.
You should call her Senior Sister in the future. ”
After saying this, Director Lin raised his hand and patted Xiao Yiheng’s shoulder, then left with a smile.
As soon as Director Lin left, the art room exploded.
There was a buzz here, and there was a buzz on the other side. The sound of whispers converged into one, and the center of the discussion was the sentence that Director Lin left behind.
Director Lin’s meaning was very clear. He was very optimistic about Xiao Yiheng and felt that he had the ability to enter the Academy of Fine Arts!
Director Lin stood in front of Xiao Yiheng’s painting for so long. He didn’t comment on it, nor did he help him change it. Is Xiao Yiheng’s painting really that perfect?
Ai Mi couldn’t suppress the curiosity in her heart. She ran over recklessly and directly rushed in front of Xiao Yiheng. “I want to see your painting!
… ”
Before she finished speaking, her voice suddenly disappeared.
She stood in front of the drawing board and stared blankly at the work on the drawing paper. She wanted to speak countless times, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t say a word.
If there was a word to describe Xiao Yiheng’s work, Ai Mi could only think of two words – “restraint”.
They were referring to the same sculpture, but it didn’t mean that everyone’s painting was exactly the same.
Just like there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers, there will be a thousand David in the hands of a thousand painters.
Sketching is the foundation of the foundation, but in fact, it also belongs to the category of artistic creation. There is no “absolute” objective realism.
Painters have different personal experiences and create different psychological states. Therefore, they will draw different “shapes” for the same thing in their eyes.
The sculpture they drew was called “Hands” and there was a hidden story behind it.
Everyone knew the story in advance, so naturally, they would have different interpretations. When they started to paint, they would involuntarily put in subjective colors.
For example, Ai Mi felt very indignant for the painter’s brother. She felt that he sacrificed himself to help his brother. Therefore, when she started to paint, every stroke was very forceful and even unconsciously aggravated the distortion of the hand joints.
Her background was very black and the hands seemed to reach out from the darkness.
The whole painting looked angry and full of resentment towards the injustice of fate.
Most of the students in the studio were the same.
However, the emotions reflected in Xiao Yiheng’s painting were the opposite.
His painting was restrained, rational, restrained, and calm. In the face of fate’s teasing, he gladly accepted it, but did not surrender.
The hands had an indescribable power.
Ai Mi stood in front of the painting. It was as if she really saw a pair of hands reaching out from the dark mine after hundreds of years, bringing a ray of light full of hope.
In artistic creation, basic brushwork and painting skills are very important, but “expression” is even more important.
Painting skills can be practiced, but “expression” is very difficult to improve. Some people gradually learn how to express themselves as they grow older and gain more experience. There is also a kind of person who naturally knows how to express themselves … and the latter kind of people are collectively called “geniuses”.
No wonder.
Ai Mi thought, no wonder Director Lin was so sure that Xiao Yiheng could study at the Academy of Fine Arts when she saw his painting …
Ai Mi murmured: “Xiao Yiheng, the Qiu Xian you just mentioned, is she Director Lin’s student and your teacher?”
“Yes.” Xiao Yiheng said, “Miss Qiu introduced me.”
Ai Mi: “But how come I’ve never heard of Principal Lin having such an amazing student?” To be able to teach someone like Xiao Yiheng, he must be a strict and sharp outstanding painter.
Xiao Yiheng replied: “Miss Qiu is indeed not well-known in the industry. She’s currently an art teacher at Huacheng No. 1 High School.”
“… Are you kidding???”
Ai Mi didn’t believe him at all. In her opinion, Xiao Yiheng must have been taught by a famous teacher. Qiu Xian must be a famous painter in the industry. How could she be an ordinary art teacher at a high school?
Xiao Yiheng: “I’m not kidding. I didn’t start painting until I was in high school.”
Ai Mi: “…”
Damn, she picked up a paintbrush when she was just learning to walk under the urging of her parents. She has been painting for almost as long as her own age!
But Xiao Yiheng, this fellow, had only learned painting for three years??
What kind of monster was she classmates with?
On the other side of the ocean.
As the day of the competition approached, more and more contestants from different countries came to the dormitory area. The atmosphere in the team gradually changed from relaxed to solemn.
After Li Cheng finished his training, Coach Yu called him to his dormitory with a serious face.
In the coach’s dormitory, the team doctor sat at the table with several open reports in front of him.
Li Cheng was shocked by this scene. He glanced at the reports and saw that they were full of colorful letters and lines. He couldn’t understand these things, but when he saw the serious faces of the coach and the team doctor, he realized that this was definitely not good news.
“Coach Yu, what, what’s wrong?”
Li Cheng swallowed his saliva and stood up straight. “If you have something to say, just say it. I can handle it.”
Coach Yu said: “Li Cheng, the results of the blood test you took yesterday are out.”
When Li Cheng heard this, he was even more confused: “I … Could it be that I’m really sick?”
It couldn’t be an incurable disease, right?
He wasn’t 18 years old yet, he just fell in love, he didn’t win the world championship, and he still had a sister and a duck to take care of!!
“It’s worse than being sick.”
The team doctor said seriously, “Li Cheng, I found the reason why you have been having a low fever recently and are emotionally excited — because you are about to become an adult, so your fever period has been brought forward.”
Li Cheng: “…”
Li Cheng: “???”
Li Cheng: “!!!”
What kind of joke was this? Was he a Five Elements Offense Pheromone in this life? During the last provincial competition, his fever period was brought forward once. At that time, it was Xiao Yiheng who bit him and gave him a temporary mark to suppress the fever.
But now he and Xiao Yiheng were thousands of miles apart. He couldn’t ask Xiao Yiheng to give up the winter camp and fly to Ao Country for him, right?
The team doctor slowly said, “There are a few solutions in front of us now. The first and best solution is to let the alpha who temporarily marked you fly over and give you a temporary mark again.
The alpha who marked you both times is the same person, so the pheromone is completely compatible and can help you better. ”
Li Cheng immediately rejected: “That won’t work.”
Now was Xiao Yiheng’s most critical time, and he couldn’t delay him no matter what.
The team doctor: “The second solution is to find an alpha in the team to temporarily mark you. Coach Yu said that you are usually very close to Zhou Jian, so why don’t …”
When Li Cheng heard this, he had goosebumps. What kind of nonsense was this?
His name was Li Cheng, not Li Gou Quan. He didn’t want to be associated with Zhou Jian.
“Forget it, let’s talk about the third solution.”
“The third solution is to directly give you a short-acting inhibitor injection, but —”
“I’ll choose this one!”
When Li Cheng heard that there was such a simple solution, he immediately rolled up his sleeves. “I believe in science and medicine, so I’ll choose this one!”
At this moment, Coach Yu said, “Li Cheng, don’t you want to hear about the side effects of the inhibitor?”
