Kendra looked at Kara’s angry face and disdainfully sneered.
“Kara, you’re mad because I’m right. Listen, if you admit defeat now, you can apologize to me and quit this training.”
Kara was angry, but that didn’t mean Kendra was right.
“If you want to battle, I have to set the rule.”
“Alright!”
As long as Kara accepted the competition, Kendra believed she could defeat Kara.
Kara curled her lips into a mocking smile, and she slowly said, “Miss Kendra, you are twenty-seven years old, nine years older than me, and you have received professional training. So you use red, blue, and green colors. Mr. Jadon will decide on the theme. We can choose our own way to present our work. What do you say?”
Kendra always boasted that she had received professional training, and she had graduated from college and was a graduate, so she looked down on Kara, who didn’t receive professional training.
So just as Kendra asked, Kara set a limit for Kendra.
These three colors could make all colors. As long as Kendra was good at painting, this limitation was not harsh.
When Kendra heard Kara reveal her age, she was so angry. She looked so mad.
Didn’t Kara know that the age of women was a secret?
“Alright, I’ll use these three colors. What other conditions do you have? Shoot!”
Kara nodded with a smile. “This time, let’s make it big. We each choose two assistants to help us complete our work. We will ask a few teachers to grade them. The winner can take both of the two paintings.”
“Kara, you’ll have to apologize to me!”
Kendra was very confident in her skills, and it was easy to choose two assistants.
“I planned to have a practical lesson next time. Since these two students are so active, our practical lesson will begin now.” Jadon smiled.
Jadon said that this competition was started because of relationships, so the theme would be “couples”.
As today’s lesson was about metaphors, there could not be a couple directly appearing in their paintings. Instead, they had to use metaphors.
After listening to the teacher’s request, Kara went to choose her assistants.
She only knew Anika and Triston here, so she asked the two of them, who were both happy to participate in the competition. Then the three of them went to discuss their tactics.
Metaphor, from another point of view, was a test of the painter’s cultural cultivation.
Kara and Triston were both creative. They didn’t bother to consider too much about the culture and classical arts. As long as they thought of any good ideas, they would improvise.
But Anika was not like them. Anika was a learned and talented doctoral student. Thinking of the theme of couples, she could say a lot of poetry and idioms before searching on the computer.
“Triston, have you ever been in a relationship?” Kara suddenly asked.
Triston raised his eyebrows. “Are you kidding me? I lost my virginity when I was fourteen years old. In junior high, I got plenty of girlfriends. In senior high, I had six, no, seven girlfriends. Okay, that’s not the point.
“I didn’t go to college. After senior high, I went to the gallery to be a helper. My family was all painters. I learned painting from my master, my father.
“After that, I made a few girlfriends, but none of them worked for me. Relationships are nothing special. A man and a woman do some boring things, and then they sleep together. If they get bored, they will break up. This is what relationships are.”
Triston was calm, but the two girls next to him blushed.
“Triston, those were not real relationships. You were just dating and you were like eating fast food.” Anika commented. Then she expressed her own thoughts.
“When two people are attracted to each other, they will get to know each other for a while. Then they will decide to become a couple. While they’re in a relationship, they will have quarrels, but they both know that they love each other and will always be on each other’s side.
“If a couple were not together for a better life, but for killing time, why would they be together in the first place?
“Boring. Rigid.”
Triston disdained and began to tell Anika about how to date.
“Anika, if you’re thinking of relationships in this way, no man will fall for you. If you want to have a boyfriend, first you have to dress up and make yourself attractive. Then you have to learn how to seduce men. Do you understand?”
Anika didn’t reply
Kara was speechless. Her assistants were leading the conversation out of the track.
However, Triston’s words seemed to make sense, so Kara quickly picked up the pen and took notes.
“We don’t have a time limit for the competition. Triston, why don’t you teach Anika to change her image today and see if any man will like her?”
Triston and Anika raised their eyebrows. They were both surprised to hear Kara’s idea.
Thus, the three of them happily went downstairs.
Other people in the room were speechless.
When others saw that the three of them were not drawing but went out to go shopping, they all thought that Kara had given up.
There were styling rooms and clothing stores in the city center.
Triston took Anika to a hair stylist, planning to give her a fashionable haircut. When Anika heard that the hair stylist was going to cut off her hair, she held her hair in distress.
Kara and Triston loosened her hand and comforted, “Anika, to be pretty, you have to give up something.”
Anika pursed her lips. She could only close her eyes to accept it. However, when she reopened her eyes, only to find that she had become a different person. She covered her face in surprise and disbelief.
This was the first time she knew that a haircut was so important.
After asking the makeup artist to put on light makeup for Anika, Triston led the two beauties to the clothing store. Anika began to try on the clothes. Triston and Kara helped her decide which one was better.
After changing dozens of sets of clothes, Anika felt that she had no strength to try more.
When Anika changed into a floral dress, Triston raised his eyebrows in surprise, his eyes glittering with a bit of interest.
“Let’s take this one.” Triston snapped his fingers and let Kara pay for it.
Anika looked at the price tag and staggered. If Triston had not supported her, she would have definitely fallen.
“What? 12, 000?”
A dress had to cost 12, 000. Anika had never bought a dress so expensive.
Triston glanced at her, feeling that her surprised expression was quite cute.
“You are not the one paying. What are you upset about?”
“No, I can’t let Kara pay for it. I’m the one wearing this dress.” Anika did not agree to let Kara pay and wanted to take off the dress.
Kara quickly stopped her. “I have already paid the money. This dress is very pretty. You look good in it. Just wear it.”
Anika shook her head resolutely. “No, it’s so expensive. I can’t afford it. Besides, I don’t feel comfortable spending your money.”
Kara shook her head helplessly and looked at Triston for help. Triston thought about it for a few seconds.
“How about this, Anika? You are wearing this dress for the competition, not for yourself. If you really feel guilty, I’ll think of a way for you to return the money.”
“Really?”
“Trust me.” Triston raised his eyebrows confidently.
However, Anika still had some concerns. In her entire life, she disliked owing people, and it was even worse if she owed them money.
After all of that was done, two hours passed. It was time for lunch.
In a five-star restaurant, the three of them ordered five dishes. They chatted about random topics and never stopped laughing.
An hour later, Kara propped up her chin and asked Triston, “Anika is a beauty now. How can she get a boyfriend?”
Anika was speechless.
She had previously thought that they were just joking, but now they really planned to find her a boyfriend within a few hours.
How could that be possible?
