My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 507 - 008: Has a Bit of Comedy_2
Halfway through the class, perhaps Professor Zhao noticed something, and suddenly brought up a question. His gaze swept around the students, and everyone instinctively shifted their gaze or used their books to cover their faces. But Lu Shishu sat perfectly straight, unafraid of being called upon. She attended class sincerely to learn, not for any flashy reasons. As long as she did her homework and listened to the lecture, the questions posed by Professor Zhao were considered common knowledge and basic coursework, even if a few were tricky. For an insider, they were actually not difficult.
"That young man in the white T-shirt, please answer my question!" Professor Zhao’s gaze finally settled on Nan Jiayan.
Being called by Professor Zhao, everyone’s attention turned to Nan Jiayan. He could feel the eyes of the crowd and Lu Shishu on him, first stunned for a moment, then looked around, glanced at Professor Zhao, and smiled while pointing at himself, "Is Professor Zhao talking to me?"
Professor Zhao nodded, kindly saying, "Yes, it’s you."
"Uh... Sorry, I didn’t hear clearly what question Professor Zhao asked earlier, could you please repeat it?" Nan Jiayan smiled innocently, his eyes filled with sincerity.
His earnest words induced laughter from the students next to him, but Nan Jiayan didn’t mind, continuing to grin broadly.
Professor Zhao wasn’t annoyed either. He opened the screen, moved aside, and gestured, "What can you see in this painting? What is the principle behind its structure?"
Nan Jiayan looked seriously at the screen, at the somewhat abstract, color-mixed painting. Strangely, the painting had a particularly familiar feel, not offensive or unlikable, but rather brought a touch of cheerfulness.
"This painting employs three color elements; the artist has a good understanding of color, knowing which colors complement each other, like blue and orange, and yellow and purple. It doesn’t look out of place at all, and most notably, it distinguishes the layers of this painting, depicting its space with various colors. The outer layer uses warm colors, while the inner layer employs cooler colors. If I’m not mistaken, this painting is the famous artist Zu Qingsen’s ’Space’."
Listening to his unhurried and confident explanation, Professor Zhao nodded approvingly, "Very good, you even identified which painting by Zu Qingsen it was. Zu Qingsen is known for being low-profile, and his paintings rarely circulate. This particular painting was once auctioned for a high price of thirty-seven million. His painting style appears abstract but brings a refreshing sensation to people."
"Thank you for the compliment, Professor Zhao." Nan Jiayan accepted the praise cheerfully, sat back down, and winked at Lu Shishu, who was looking at him.
Lu Shishu observed his smug expression and chuckled lightly, seeing him in a new light. It seemed he wasn’t just a pretty face; he had some genuine talent and knowledge.
By the end of the class, it was already twenty past eight. Lu Shishu packed her book bag but realized it was with him. She shot him a look, but Nan Jiayan clearly didn’t get her hint, smiling back in confusion, "What’s up?"
"My book bag." Lu Shishu sighed heavily, maintaining her patience as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Nan Jiayan suddenly understood and exclaimed, "Ah, that! Let me get it for you." He handed her the book bag, watched her pack her books and prepare to leave, then grabbed his backpack and followed her.
The two walked out of the teaching building together. Lu Shishu’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of him, and after thinking for a while, her curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "Zu Qingsen’s most famous painting is ’She.’ After that, his works rarely appeared in people’s view. Few people know about him now; apart from a few professors, rarely anyone at school knows Zu Qingsen. How do you know about him? And recognize that painting of his? Actually, that painting’s contrasting style is quite similar to Master Yue Xuehe’s. He is also quite an abstract artist. When that painting first appeared, he was the first person I thought of."
