Xiao Minxing remained silent, sitting in the car for a while before quietly taking some money from his wallet and handing it to me, saying in an extremely tired tone, "Just take a taxi back."
I wanted to ask him something, but his eyes were already fixed on the car door, unwilling to give me even a glance.
Watching his car leave the parking lot and head towards Zhi Xing Company, I had no choice but to slowly retract my gaze.
This was already a good outcome; he went to his job while I enjoyed my leisure, remaining unrelated to each other, which also spared us from further anger.
After walking down the street for a while and dissipating both my breakfast and the earlier frustration, I took a taxi to the Studio.
Since Lu Yishan's visit, that Handsome Teacher had not shown me any kindness. Today was no different; upon seeing me, he pretended not to notice and continued with his work.
I had nothing to say to him either, so I headed straight for the Studio.
Once inside, I saw the empty chair that Ye Guang once occupied and couldn't help but think about everything that happened yesterday.
That old man must have been very important to Ye Guang. That's why he was so heartbroken. Although he didn't cry at the funeral, he called me beforehand. I still remember his cries—so sorrowful, so hopeless.
Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do for him. Even if I called, I might not reach him. He didn't have a mobile phone; that landline number was clearly from his home. Given his situation, his family probably restricted him from interacting with outsiders.
I wondered how he was doing now and when he would be able to emerge from his grief. How long would it be before I could see him again at the Studio?
Thinking this way, I spread out my drawing board. Looking at the blank paper, my mind was in disarray. Besides Ye Guang, there was also Su Qian and Xiao Minxing, with whom I had just quarreled that morning.
I didn't even know when these people entered my life. In the past, I could only think about my own unfortunate days and marriage, but now I found myself thinking more about them.
Perhaps what they say is true: everyone has their own pain and misfortune. The difference is that some express it while others hide it within their hearts.
Just like me; this kind of marriage appears to most women as if they have flown up to become a phoenix. A penniless girl marries into a wealthy family overnight and no longer has to worry about food and clothing, no longer struggling for survival. But who would have thought that the man she shares her life with would turn out to be a pervert?
There is also Mina. In the past, she was an image of a strong woman in my heart, almost flawless. However, her recent behavior and state have really made me worried.
Just thinking about Mina makes me not want to pick up a brush at all; I took out my phone and called her.
After what happened yesterday, she didn't even have dinner, and I don't know how she is doing now.
She quickly picked up the call. From her voice, it seemed like she was at work, which eased my anxious heart a bit. During our casual chat, we inevitably talked about Xiao Minxing.
Mina asked, "He didn't bother you much yesterday, did he?"
"No, but we argued again this morning." Just mentioning that person brought back the anger from the morning, and my voice rose a bit.
Mina paused for a moment before saying, "Does arguing solve anything? Besides, you can't win against him in an argument; in the end, you're the one who suffers."
"What should I do then? I don't want to argue either, but he really gets on my nerves; I can't help it," I shouted at Mina.
She had seen enough of the complicated issues between me and Xiao Minxing, so she didn't say much more, just reminded me: "I think Xiao Zong seems to have changed his attitude towards you a bit; just pay attention to it yourself."
I wanted to argue a bit more when I noticed Handsome Teacher had already entered the room. Regardless of whether I was on the phone or not, he had a stern face and said, "Qiu Yuhan, this is Studio; if you have something to discuss, please go outside. Didn't you see the sign on the wall asking for silence?"
His voice was louder than mine during the call; even Mina heard it and curiously said, "Is this your Studio teacher? Why is he getting angrier now? Didn't you say he treated you well before?"
I couldn't discuss his attitude with Mina in front of Handsome Teacher. In fact, Mina already knew about the incident with Lu Yishan, so both of us quickly hung up.
But thinking about it still made me angry, so I said to him, "There were students making calls here before; why didn't you say anything then? Why are you being so harsh with me now?"
Handsome Teacher had already walked to the entrance but turned back upon hearing my words and replied irritably, "The previous lax management was an issue with the training class; now we need to enforce discipline."
"No matter how strict you are, Lu Yishan won't be learning to paint here; she came here just to find me. Can't you see that?"
This time, before Handsome Teacher could respond, I heard Lu Yishan's voice: "Who said I wouldn't come? The teachers here are so great, why wouldn't I come?"
I stared at Lu Yishan, who was dressed in a dress of green grass, floating into the Studio Entrance, as if I were seeing a ghost.
She looked quite pleased, exchanging a glance with Handsome Teacher, both of them wearing smiles. However, when she turned back to look at me, her expression had changed, and her tone was extremely unpleasant.
"Qiu Yuhan, you are really quite rude. This is the Studio. Not only are you talking loudly on the phone, but you also dare to argue with the teacher. Who do you think you are? Does everyone have to indulge you like Xiao Minxing?"
Her arrogant demeanor made it seem as if she had completely upgraded herself to the principal of this place. Yet in my eyes, she was still the third party trying to interfere in someone else's marriage, so I naturally wouldn't hold back.
"Yes, I'm quite rude, so it's better for green tea bitches like you to keep your distance. Not every man is blind enough not to see through your pretentiousness."
To my surprise, before Lu Yishan could respond, the handsome guy got angry first: "Who are you calling blind?"
I hadn't thought much about it earlier; I just felt angry that Xiao Minxing was still ambiguous with her. I didn't expect my words would provoke a teacher from a training class, so I looked at the two of them in shock.
Now Lu Yishan seized the opportunity and sweetly said to the teacher: "You see, this person's quality is so low that she casually insults others. Even being in our training won't change her country bumpkin nature; it will only affect other students and cause unnecessary losses for our training class."
Her voice was loud and sharp, attracting curious students from other Studios who peeked over to look at us.
Now Handsome Teacher's face looked even worse. I couldn't tell if it was because he felt embarrassed or if Lu Yishan's words hit a nerve. He glared at me fiercely and said: "Qiu Yuhan, our center will no longer accept students like you. I'm refunding your money now; leave immediately."
