Chapter 349: Killing Two Birds with One Arrow...

Ma Yili asked: "Zaiyin, for your portrait painting of a sweet girl from the sea, should I just keep smiling when I'm the model?"

Han Jae-in found a chair for Ma Yili and replied, "Just keep sitting and smile sweetly. Ma Yili, your little canine teeth are very distinctive, and your smile is sweet and very cute."

Ma Yili sat on a chair and said to Han Zaiyin weakly, "This is my first time as an oil painting model. I don't even know how to smile!"

Lin Lang, who was preparing paint and mixing colors on the palette, said with a smile: "Ma Yili, let me tell you a joke. One day, an egg went to a teahouse to drink tea, and it turned into a tea egg!"

"Hehe...isn't it funny?

Ma Yili smiled and replied: "Lin Lang, the jokes you told are so cold and awkward, they are not funny at all!"

"If it's not funny, why are you laughing?"

"Because the jokes you told weren't funny at all, that's why I laughed at you!"

"Anyway, since you laughed, my goal has been achieved."

"OK! This is the smile. Ma Yili, just keep it." Han Zaiyin sat in front of the easel, picked up the paintbrush, mixed the colors on the palette, and began to outline the contours on the canvas.

Han Jae-in's eyes are focused and deep, as if they can penetrate the picture and capture every detail. Her hands gently hold the brush, and her brushstrokes are delicate and agile, outlining the shapes and contours stroke by stroke.

Han Zaiyin's movements were light and skillful, as graceful as a dancer, and she quickly drew the general outline of Ma Yili's face.

Lin Lang, on the other hand, was sitting in front of the easel, staring at the cool and beautiful Han Zaiyin, completely mesmerized by her beauty and talent.

Han Zaiyin's face was filled with love and persistence for art. Her brows revealed a kind of confidence and determination that made Lin Lang fall for her.

There was a gleam of wisdom in Han Zaiyin's clear eyes, as if telling the story from the bottom of her heart.

"Lin Lang, why don't you start painting? Why are you staring at me so lustfully?"

Lin Lang pretended to be innocent and replied: "Zaiyin, you are wrongly accusing me."

"I am carefully observing the details of your facial features, facial contours and proportions, skin texture, hairstyle and clothing, posture and movements. I need to observe all of these comprehensively and carefully so that I can better compose the picture, grasp your characteristics and mental outlook, and create a portrait work that is appealing and of artistic value!"

Han Zaiyin chuckled disdainfully after hearing this and said, "Although you speak very professionally, I know that what you said are all excuses for you to look at girls, because the way you look at me makes my saliva almost flow out."

"Ha ha……"

Ma Yili couldn't help laughing and said, "Can you two stop making me laugh? Lin Lang, don't have any bad ideas about Yin."

Lin Lang swallowed his saliva and said stubbornly, "You two really wronged me. I was staring at Zai Yin the whole time, really observing and capturing her unique appearance, temperament, and emotions."

"I am trying to complete a successful portrait oil painting. I am doing the most basic professional preparation before painting!"

Han Zaiyin stopped painting, looked at Lin Lang and said with a smile: "Okay, since you've boasted about yourself and acted like a professional painter, what will you do if you can't produce a work later?"

"If you draw me as an ugly girl, be careful or I will punish you!"

After listening to Han Zaiyin's words, Lin Lang glanced at her and then gave a meaningful smile.

Ma Yili couldn't help laughing and said, "Lin Lang, please don't draw Zaiyin as a pig. I will laugh like a fool if I do that."

"Hehe..." Han Jae-in laughed.

"I'm not going to fool around with you two anymore. I'm going to start painting seriously."

Lin Lang sat in front of the easel, first squeezing various paints onto the palette, then gently stirring them with a brush, trying to find the tone that best suits Han Zaiyin's skin tone and expression.

Lin Lang sometimes looked up at Han Zaiyin, and sometimes buried his head in painting, with every stroke showing deep concentration and love.

Lin Lang began by sketching Han Jae-in's outline, using soft lines to outline her beautiful face, delicate features, and charming smile.

Then, Lin Lang began to fill in the colors carefully, from light to dark, from pale to thick, allowing Han Zaiyin's cool and moving image to gradually appear on the canvas.

Lin Lang became more and more immersed in the painting, as if forgetting everything around him. His brushstrokes became more and more delicate, and every detail was carefully carved, making Han Zaiyin's portrait more realistic and vivid.

Lin Lang's brushwork is skillful and professional, and every stroke is just right, neither too stiff nor casual.

Lin Lang uses colors and lines to interpret his understanding of Han Zaiyin's cold and beautiful character, and incorporates her outstanding talent and temperament into it, making her portrait oil painting full of vitality.

As time went by, the two paintings gradually took shape. Finally, Lin Lang and Ma Yili put down their brushes almost at the same time.

After Han Zaiyin put down his paintbrush, he raised his right hand and pinched his neck, then proudly replied: "I have finished painting Ma Yili, please enjoy this painting "Sweet Girl in the Sea"!"

"Oh~ I'm finally done. My face is almost frozen from smiling!" Ma Yili stood up with great anticipation and couldn't wait to admire her own portrait oil painting.

"Wow, Zaiyin, you painted me so beautifully!" Ma Yili looked at the portrait with surprise.

Han Jae-in smiled slightly, "You are beautiful."

Ma Yili exclaimed: "Zaiyin, you are indeed a beautiful painter who has appeared on the cover of Time magazine in the United States. It is really my honor to be your model!"

"Seeing such a wonderful painting is worth it even if my face freezes from smiling, haha..."

After hearing this, Han Jae-in smiled smugly, and that proud little expression was very cute.

Lin Lang came over to take a look at Han Zaiyin's painting and praised: "Zaiyin, you are amazing. You painted Ma Yili so well!"

"As expected of you, you're the art class representative of our class. Awesome, Klas!" Lin Lang gave Han Zaiyin a thumbs up to express his appreciation and affirmation.

Han Zaiyin covered her mouth and laughed, "Haha... who would praise the beautiful painter Klass as awesome? Lin Lang, your way of praising people is really special!"

Lin Lang chuckled and said, “I really can’t find any words that can praise you better than the word ‘awesome’!”

"Han Jae-in is awesome!"

"Han Zaiyin, Ma Yili, what do you want to say?" Lin Lang raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Ma Yili understood Lin Lang's meaning immediately and couldn't help but replied with a smile: "You said Han Zaiyin, I said awesome!"

Lin Lang said loudly with an exaggerated expression: "Han Zaiyin!"

Ma Yili followed up and shouted "Awesome!"

Han Zaiyin laughed so hard after hearing this, "Haha... stop kidding me, I'm almost crying from laughing!"

Then, Ma Yili said curiously, "Now it's time to reveal Lin Lang's painting. Will it be a stunning fairy or an ugly pig-headed monster?"

Han Zaiyin had a playful smile on her face and deliberately threatened, "Lin Lang, if you dare to paint me as an ugly pig-headed monster, I will not forgive you! When the time comes, hmph..." She narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of danger.

Lin Lang confidently turned the easel and showed the lifelike oil painting of Han Zaiyin to Ma Yili and Han Zaiyin for their appreciation.

Ma Yili stared at Lin Lang's painting with eyes wide open, looking at it in disbelief. She exclaimed in amazement: "Wow, Lin Lang, you paint so well!"

Han Jae-in was so shocked that he stood up from his chair and exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

"I can't believe my eyes. Lin Lang, you painted me so that I seem to walk out of the canvas. The composition, brushwork, use of colors, and creative aesthetics all reveal the high-end sense of the painting. It is simply a stroke of genius!"

At this moment, Han Zaiyin couldn't hide his admiration and admiration in his eyes.

Ma Yili was also full of praise: "Lin Lang, you really have a brilliant pen. You painted Zai Yin so beautifully! I didn't expect you to be so talented!"

Lin Lang smiled modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, it's just my amateur level. This is just a humble work and it's not a respectful tribute. I hope you will like it!"

Han Zaiyin looked at Lin Lang as if he were a monster, and said in astonishment: "Lin Lang, are you pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?"

Lin Lang shrugged and said, "No! Why do you ask?"

Han Zaiyin replied with an exaggerated expression: "Lin Lang, this is not just a small work, it is clearly a masterpiece of the master level! If Picasso and Da Vinci were alive, they would ask you to accept their knees."

Ma Yili was surprised after hearing this: "No way?"

"Zaiyin, I don't really know how to appreciate oil paintings. Is this portrait oil painting that Lin Lang painted for you really amazing?"

"It's more than awesome! It's like a cow being shot - so awesome!" Han Jae-in's expression was exaggerated.

"Uh... Is Lin Lang so good at painting?" Ma Yili was shocked.

Lin Lang smiled and said, "You two beauties, stop looking at me like I'm a monster. Be careful or you'll attract Ultraman and beat me up."

"Haha..." Ma Yili laughed after hearing this.

Han Zaiyin, with a look of disbelief on her face, blinked her big, kazilan eyes, and walked around him in shock, looking him up and down, as if she was getting to know him all over again.

"Lin Lang, have you been hiding your abilities on purpose before?"

Lin Lang spread his hands innocently, "I don't, I just know a little bit about painting, just a little bit, just a little bit!"

"fart!"

"Your oil painting level is far better than mine, how is that possible?" Han Zaiyin couldn't believe Lin Lang's painting skills, which were far better than hers.

Lin Lang shrugged and said, "Maybe I am the legendary gifted monster!"

Han Zaiyin still didn't believe it, "Then how come you can paint so well? Did you secretly learn from a master of oil painting?"

Lin Lang smiled and shook his head. "I am here to learn from Zhou Mengyao's father. In addition to appraising treasures, my master Zhou Zhongdang is also a calligrapher. However, my master only knows traditional calligraphy and can paint ink and wash landscapes, but he can't paint oil paintings!"

Han Zaiyin sighed, "Lin Lang, you are really a hidden talent! It's a pity that you are so talented but not a painter."

Ma Yili was shocked after hearing this and said, "No way? Zaiyin, you actually said that Lin Lang's painting skills are better than yours?"

Han Zaiyin said sadly: "I don't want to admit this fact, but Lin Lang's talent, aesthetics, painting skills, and overall painting attainments in oil painting are indeed far superior to mine."

Ma Yili was surprised and said, "Zaiyin, you have never shown weakness in front of Lin Lang. You can make the talented and beautiful painter Han Zaiyin feel inferior. It seems that Lin Lang's painting skills are really at the master level!"

"I'm so angry now that I was crushed by an amateur player! Lin Lang, how did you do it?" Han Zaiyin couldn't understand it. She couldn't understand it at all.
