Chapter 205

No, I must get my face back!

In the classroom, Su Meng slunk away and sat in the back, handing the podium over to Teacher Teacher Teacher Yuanyuan. Seeing him suffer a setback, the others couldn't help but chuckle.

Teacher Liu smiled and comforted him, saying, "Teacher Su, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses."

"The way children are taught is different; you need to start from their interests..."

Had he made such a blunder before, the other teachers might not have said anything, but they would have been sneering inwardly.

Teaching is a sacred profession; did he really think just anyone could do it?

Especially you celebrities, using children to chase traffic?

Well, look at you now, making a fool of yourself. Serves you right!

However, after what happened yesterday, this primary school had completely accepted Su Meng, and naturally, they were much more tolerant of him.

In Teacher Liu's eyes... it was just a young man lacking experience; what was the big deal?

Boss Yang also looked on with a gloating expression.

"When you were arranging things for us earlier, you were so full of yourself."

"Now that it's your turn, why can't you do it?"

"I think you'd better just stick to being a life skills teacher."

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi also giggled.

"Or you could be a music teacher."

"As an experienced music teacher, I can show you the ropes."

"Don't be too touched. If you really feel bad about it, just write a song for me."

Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue also leaned in, saying weakly,

"Little Martial Uncle, it's not embarrassing to not know how to paint..."

Su Meng glared at him fiercely, scaring him into silence.

"Not know how to paint?" Su Meng snorted coldly and said indifferently,

"It seems it's time to show you some real skill!"

……

In the livestream, the audience was already in stitches.

"Hahaha, Su Meng finally made a fool of himself, I'm dying."

"This show is all about him showing off; who knew he'd have a day where he tripped up?"

"The way the Sect Leader blushed just now is so cute!"

"Hahaha, trying to teach traditional Chinese painting to first-graders, isn't that awkward?"

"Nobody's perfect. Su Meng is already strong enough; it's no big deal if he can't paint."

"A fine arts major passing by—what Su Meng said about traditional Chinese painting earlier was actually spot on."

"Su Meng knows how to paint? You're joking, right? He probably just crammed some basic knowledge beforehand."

"At least he was willing to do his homework to teach the kids, even if it was a bit mismatched. The intention was good."

"This is good too. For the past few months, I've almost treated Su Meng like a god. Now I see he's just an ordinary person."

……

At the school entrance was a small hillside.

At the very top of the hill, Su Meng sat quietly behind a table, his eyes slightly closed, like a statue.

"What's wrong with him? He's been sitting there for an hour!" Deng Deng Deng Ziqi asked, puzzled.

"Yeah." Boss Yang stared fixedly at Su Meng, muttering to herself,

"Looking from this angle... Su Meng is truly handsome!"

Liu Liu Liu Tianxian shook her head and said softly,

"Were we a bit too harsh just now?"

"It's not a big deal that Teacher Su isn't good at painting."

"Were we a bit too much?"

The others nodded silently.

Could it really be that their words just now had upset Su Meng?

It wasn't just them; countless netizens in the livestream thought the same.

But right now... to be precise, many young girls were already frantically taking screenshots.

Just as Boss Yang said, with the mountain breeze blowing and his clothes fluttering, paired with Su Meng's handsome face, it was stunning, wasn't it?!

As for whether Su Meng could actually paint... did it matter?

Being handsome was enough!

……

"Let's go check on him."

Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling shook her head and started to walk over.

But suddenly, she froze and exclaimed,

"He moved!"

Moved? Everyone looked up.

They saw Su Meng suddenly open his eyes, pick up a brush from the table, dip it fully in ink, and begin to write and paint with lightning speed.

"Wait, what is Little Martial Uncle doing?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue asked, bewildered.

The others were also lost.

A flash of realization crossed Bai Bai Bai Xiaoling's eyes, and she said uncertainly,

"Is he... painting?"

"Does he really know how to paint traditional Chinese painting?"

What? On-site and in the livestream, everyone was stunned.

Then, they burst into uproarious laughter again.

Boss Yang laughed until tears were streaming down her face.

"Why is Su Meng so cute?"

"He couldn't paint, so he has to prove himself?"

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi was also laughing uncontrollably.

"I bet he's just messing around again!"

"He couldn't even handle a primary school art class, and you say he can paint?"

"If he can paint, I'll go clean the toilets!"

Liu Liu Liu Tianxian thought for a moment and said hesitantly,

"Should we... go take a look?"

Her suggestion was quickly agreed upon by everyone.

They walked lightly along the hillside toward Su Meng. Boss Yang led the way and soon reached Su Meng's back. Just as she was about to speak, she accidentally glanced at the tabletop and froze.

She stood there as if turned to stone, completely motionless.

Seeing this, the others were slightly taken aback.

But the next moment... everyone was stunned!

On the table lay a large sheet of paper.

At that moment, the brush tip was dancing and leaping across the surface.

More importantly... hiss...

On the table, a large piece of paper was spread out.

At this moment, the tip of the brush was dancing and jumping constantly on the paper.

More importantly... hiss...

……

In the livestream, everyone was completely bewildered as they watched this bizarre scene.

"What's wrong with these people? What on earth are they looking at?"

"No way, right? Is Su Meng actually painting?"

"Hahaha, it must be that Su Meng's painting is too abstract, and these people are questioning their existence."

"Or maybe Su Meng is writing a new song? Holy crap, writing a song with a calligraphy brush? That's a bit hardcore."

"Fine, I admit it, you've successfully grabbed my attention!"

"Where's the cameraman? Where the hell did he go? Hurry up and let me see what they're looking at!"

At the school, the director flew into a rage and kicked a cameraman in the backside.

"What the hell are you standing there for? Go up and take a look!"

The cameraman was on the verge of tears.

"Brother Su chased me down earlier; he told me not to disturb him."

"He even said if I disturbed him, he'd make me carry a coffin..."

"That was then, this is now!" The director couldn't hold back anymore.

"Don't you know curiosity killed the cat?"

"Even I'm dying of curiosity about what they're doing!"

"If you don't go now, your bonus for this month..."

The cameraman was instantly terrified and scrambled away in a flash.

……

At the top of the hillside, Su Meng slowly put down his brush and let out a long breath.

He turned his head to glance, then said indifferently.

"Honey, Liu Liu Tianxian, come help me unfold this!"

Huh? The group snapped out of their daze, and the way they looked at Su Meng was a bit off.

Is this still the Su Meng I know?

"What are you still standing there for?"

Boss Yang and Liu Liu Liu Tianxian finally came to their senses and walked over cautiously.

One stood on each side, slowly unfolding a large sheet of paper from the table.

The cameraman ran up, panting while carrying the camera.

He took one look and was instantly stunned.

He didn't even notice the camera on his shoulder fall to the ground.

Countless netizens in the livestream sent a barrage of question marks.

"Aren't we supposed to see what Su Meng is doing? What's with filming two pairs of long legs?"

"Holy crap! From this angle, Liu Liu Liu Tianxian and Boss Yang's beautiful legs are truly invincible!"

"Any leg lovers getting a treat here?!"

"Typing with both hands to show my innocence... what do I do if I'm out of tissues?"

"It's a pity they're wearing pants today; if they were wearing skirts... *cough cough cough*..."

"This camera angle is brilliant! Confirmed! This cameraman must have come from a modeling agency!"

"Screenshot taken, screen licked, entering the sage mode..."

"Aren't we watching Su Meng? Why are you looking at these two pairs of legs? Are you bullying me for having short legs?"

……

A long while later, the director's angry shouting over the walkie-talkie finally snapped the cameraman out of it.

He tremblingly picked up the camera, took a deep breath, and carefully aimed it at the large sheet of paper.

One look!

Just one look!

In the livestream, everyone was stunned!

What large paper? It was actually a painting! A traditional landscape painting!

In the scene, spring mountains exhaled greenery, and flowing springs splashed within the valley, trickling gently.

High ridges towered all around, and withered trees had grown new branches, blooming with delicate buds, forming a scene of rich spring atmosphere.

Between the opposing green mountains, strange peaks blocked the sky. On the mountaintops, dense forests looked like a giant black felt cap pressed onto the cliffs, with nameless wildflowers blooming in black and green.

Above the trickling clear streams lay strange rocks, and gauze-like cloud shadows drifted between the mountains and water, appearing and disappearing, as if turning into steaming mist rising and swirling.

At the mouth of the valley, two scholars sat cross-legged on rocks by the stream, discussing the scenery. Beneath their feet, hanging springs like silk threads converged into the stream, splashing pearls and sounding as if they were cold and resonant.

Elegant and otherworldly! Poetic and picturesque!

The fusion of mountain and water, the combination of stillness and motion, the blend of simplicity and brilliance—all of this composed the most beautiful scenery.

The beauty of nature was displayed to the fullest in this painting!

Everyone who looked at it was instantly immersed.

Vaguely, they felt a strange coolness on their cheeks, as if they had been splashed by the stream in the painting.

Then, a gentle breeze blew against their faces, instantly refreshing and cool, feeling extremely comfortable.

This painting... it's divine!

……

Su Meng watched everyone's reactions and felt quite pleased.

Who was it that said I couldn't do traditional Chinese painting just now?

Step out and get beaten!

My traditional painting skill is a god-tier ability bestowed by the system!

God-tier suona playing makes people cry and laugh; how could a god-tier traditional painting skill be anything ordinary?

However, he had other intentions for bringing out this painting.

Su Meng coughed lightly and said indifferently.

"Honey, Liu Liu Tianxian, put the painting away."

"Yes." The two took one last lingering look before carefully rolling up the scroll.

Without the painting, everyone finally returned to normal.

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi rushed over, grabbed Su Meng, and her tone had changed.

"Su Meng! Did you paint this just now?"

Su Meng smiled slightly and said indifferently.

"Didn't you see it just now?"

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi's hands were trembling.

"It's divine! This painting is divine!"

"I actually felt the artistic conception from this painting!"

"I feel like... I've entered the painting, feeling like I'm one of the people inside!"

The others nodded repeatedly, their excitement evident on their faces.

To think they were lucky enough to witness the birth of such a masterpiece?

At this moment, the livestream was already completely exploding.

"Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Awesome!"

"Is... is this really painted by a human?"

"5555... it's too beautiful, it's exploding with beauty! Su Meng is awesome! Su Meng is awesome! Su Meng is awesome!"

"I used to only hear about those mysterious artistic conceptions, but I never thought I'd actually feel what an artistic conception is today. I suddenly have the urge to cry."

"A masterpiece! It's definitely a masterpiece! I suddenly feel that people like Van Gogh are just weak!"

"I actually understood this painting. I feel like I've entered the painting, standing on the mountaintop overlooking the landscape, and my heart has suddenly opened up."

"No! I feel like I've become one of the people playing chess, peaceful, indifferent, and my whole self has suddenly calmed down."

"I feel like I'm standing by the river, the breeze blowing on my face, carrying a hint of moisture, it's extremely comfortable."

"I'm standing under a tree, seeing spring return to the earth, trees sprouting, spitting out a hint of tender green... but this painting, it only seems to be black and white, right?"

Amidst the waterfall-like barrage of comments, everyone was shocked.
