Chapter 186 - Just Need Practice (2/2)
Around 10:00 pm, Ding was genuinely tired.
Meng Fan had been practicing nonstop, and he was watching from the side the whole time. He couldn’t just watch him dryly and went off to the side to practice as well.
It was already 10:00 pm, but Meng Fan didn’t show any hints of stopping. Ding was utterly defeated.
Does the iron hero purely rely on talent?
Probably not.
Adapting to sand painting so quickly, one could say it was because of his incredible drawing skills. But his drawing skills were the result of hard work and practice!
Ding had seen Meng Fan’s stream before and knew of Meng Fan’s terrifying drawing abilities from some other sources as well.
He was envious of Meng Fan’s talent but also of his perseverance.
He felt he had to work harder too!
It was already 10:00 pm. He had been in the studio since 8:00 am in the morning and already felt exhausted from practicing all day.
“Iron bro.”
Although he was a year above Meng Fan, Ding was still willing to address him as his superior. He used this nickname because it was interesting but also because he respected him.
“Are you gonna keep practicing? The school’s closing in a bit.”
“It’s alright if the school closes, my place just happens to be in this community too. Only…” Meng Fan looked outside, assuming everyone else in the studio had left already. “There’s nobody left in the studio?”
“Your home is here?”
Ding was really surprised. He also knew what Meng Fan was worried about. “If you want to keep practicing, you’ll be fine. There’s always someone in the studio, I’ll let them know.”
“Then thanks a bunch.”
“No problem.”
Shortly after Ding left, a studio member Meng Fan had met earlier at dinner approached him and told him to close the doors and lights before leaving. He seemed to be in a hurry to be somewhere.
Meng Fan practiced for a while and then took a break to chat with Wu Tong after seeing her message. He then sent Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen a message, asking them what their setlist was for the 11/11 gala.
“Let me show you something cool.”
While waiting for their response, Meng Fan sent a video to Wu Tong.
The video was of course of his sand painting. As for the content, it was quite shameless.
Meng Fan first grabbed a handful of sand and wrote the characters for “Wu Tong” in cursive. As he wrote, he grabbed another handful of sand and changed the text into a sycamore tree, which was synonymous with her name. He then wrote the characters for “Meng Fan.” Using the “Fan” character as a foundation, he easily changed it into a bird flying with its wings spread. The bird landed on the sycamore tree, and then he used the tree as the base and drew out… two people, but they weren’t a couple.
He then combined it with some music, which was irrelevant to the sand painting, but relevant to the two of them. A segment from the song “The Rest of Our Lives”.
Bzz bzz.
Su Qing Cen and Bai Zhi responded very quickly and briefly.
Su Qing Cen had a solo performance, and Bai Zhi was performing a duet with a male singer. Both were only performing one song.
