“You? Gu Shishi?”

Bouffant dress girl looked at her name tag on her uniform and smiled.

“Sure. I’ll attend your class today.”

Zhao Xian’s face froze for a bit.

One sentence from Gu Shishi and she had resolved the issue.

Even when she stood up for Ling Xiaomei, she managed to not make the others feel that she was showing them up as she was right. This girl was her customer to begin with.

Ling Xiaomei was scheduled to have a day off yesterday.

A few of the experienced employees at the art studio also agreed with her.

“Mmm. Shishi is a good instructor.”

“Ink painting isn’t Xiao Mei’s strength. Thanks for taking it over, Shishi.”

Bouffant dress girl was a picky customer with a bad temper.

She was the kind of customer that nobody wanted to touch with a 10-foot pole.

Now that Gu Shishi gave them an out, none of them wanted to touch this hot potato.

Ling Xiaomei, feeling ashamed of herself, followed behind Gu Shishi.

She squeezed Gu Shishi’s hand and said to her softly, “Be careful.”

Gu Shishi acknowledged her.

Bouffant dress girl picked the spot in the center of the classroom.

As soon as she sat down, she said, “I want to learn the method to draw three things.”

She looked at Gu Shishi in a very provocative way and said, “First one: water; second: cloud; third: wind! You can only use black and white and you cannot use ripples or reflections for the water, or lines for the wind.”

As soon as she finished saying that, a few of the experienced instructors changed colors.

Even Ling Xiaomei looked up and gritted her teeth. “You only asked me to draw water yesterday.”

“I did, but didn’t you say I have a better instructor now?”

Bouffant dress girl chuckled and stroked her bright red finger nails.

“Naturally, I would bring up all of my requests.”

“You... you are trying to make trouble purposefully!”

As soft as Ling Xiaomei normally was, she was a little flustered right now.

Water and wind were both nature with no color or taste.

And clouds could only be seen clearly in a blue sky. Once it was switched to black-and-white ink painting, the way to depict them was very limited.

Never mind all the additional conditions that she had listed.

Without using strokes to depict waves or clouds, it would make that very difficult.

“Causing troubles? Are you saying that I paid $5,000 just to cause troubles here?” Bouffant girl snickered.

“And what exactly would that get me? Do I have too much time on hand? Is this how you treat your customers here? You didn’t have the skills and you say I am here to cause trouble?”

“You...”

Ling Xiaomei balled up her fist angrily and wanted to run up to her, but she was stopped by Gu Shishi.

“Xiao Mei, don’t be reckless. Take a seat first. I can solve your problem,” said Gu Shishi nonchalantly.

She looked up at the bouffant dress girl and her eyes flickered a little.

She had on an entire outfit of designer brand clothes.

Gu Shishi didn’t use to know any of these materialistic goods.

But now that she has been filling her health bar, she was very familiar with all the brands inside of her closet.

The bouffant dress girl, dressed in Chanel from head to toe, was no regular girl.

Gu Shishi’s look was a little cold.

Was she sent here by that gang of girls again?

Gu Shishi dragged over a stool and sat in front of the easel. She picked a somewhat clean paint brush and washed it out with some clean water.

She then dipped it into the ink.

“Wind, cloud, and water. That is not a good question for you.”

Gu Shishi squinted.

Bouffant dress girl snickered, “You can’t do it, can you?”

Water has no colors or form, and wind is not even tangible or palpable.
