Feelings were wonderful, but it was not without reason.
When Triston saw Anika’s work before, he had wanted to communicate with the creator of the work, because the lines of her work were really too perfect.
So, during training, he had been observing her and found that she was a very simple girl, and her words and actions were very conservative.
However, it was not a big deal for Kara to be late, but she was accused by Kendra. And he didn’t expect Anika to speak for Kara.
He didn’t expect this woman to have a sense of justice.
After that, when Kara asked him to order food, he didn’t want to order at all. Moreover, he didn’t know what to eat, so after seeing her take Kara’s menu, he reluctantly ordered the same as her.
Finding her taste the same as his made him more interested in Anika. So, when Kara spoke to her, he walked over to greet her too. In this way, it wouldn’t look too weird.
After the first time, their later conversation was much smoother.
So, when she changed herself, he directly confessed.
He was very clear that Anika was currently doing her doctorate. Although her family was just an ordinary one. But he had not even studied in university and had almost no diploma.
As proud as he was, he also felt inferior and worried that she would dislike him.
However, she and Kara were both simple, and with a few words, they were convinced by him.
Holding Anika’s hand, Triston was nervous, but he acted like he wasn’t and he made it, successfully avoiding the awkwardness.
He was first attracted by her work, then her personality, her kindness, her morality, and besides all that, her beauty.
Kara felt that Triston’s words were right, people’s eyes told a lot about how they felt about someone.
She liked James, so she especially liked to be with him. Even just sitting with them, and drinking water made her feel sweet.
Triston was looking at Anika with sincere eyes, just as he himself said, no matter what they would do in the future, at this moment, he was having a crush on her.
“You should be the one preparing the gift. You can’t confess to a girl that you love her with empty hands,” Kara said with a smile.
Triston nodded. “Yes. Now, I’ll buy a gift for you.”
Under Anika’s surprised gaze, Triston held Anika’s hand and went to the jewelry shop next to them.
“No. We have only been in love for less than five minutes. How can I accept your gift?” Anika disagreed, wanting to leave.
“Anika, you don’t understand. Take it when he wants to buy it for you. If you break up, then just return it to him,” Kara joked.
Triston glanced at Kara, “Kara, don’t show such obvious envy. If you want one, I’ll buy one for you too.”
“Okay, then I have to choose.” Kara raised her eyebrows and started to choose the gift seriously.
Triston took a fancy to a simple platinum ring. Without asking for the price, he put it on Anika’s finger.
However, Anika was somewhat unwilling to accept it. She looked at him with a straight face. This ring looked expensive. She would have a burden in her heart if he bought such an expensive thing.
Triston had no choice but to compromise and put the ring back. Then, he went to pick a pair of silver rings with a discount. Moreover, they went Dutch when paying the bill.
Kara picked a silver bracelet, a silver brooch, and a silver lighter, but in the end, she paid for them herself.
She gave the bracelet to Anika and the lighter to Triston and kept the brooch for herself.
“This is my gift for you guys. If you want to send one back to me, do it next time when we meet,” Kara said.
The two of them took the gift and looked at each other. They thought that they would meet again, so they did not refuse.
When the three of them returned to the classroom, Kendra’s work was almost completed, but the three of them had yet to begin.
Kendra glanced at them disdainfully, thinking ‘They must have thought that they would lose for sure, so they try to avoid it.
They are not as good as people say!’
Kara put down the drawing board. She already had the theme idea. It depended on the speed of the three people.
Art came from life and went above life.
The three had experienced it and now they just needed to put the beautiful picture on paper.
The three of them worked together. Anika did the bottoming, Kara adjusted the color, and Triston finally put the color on the board.
They worked together to avoid each other’s shortcomings, showing their advantages.
Kara thought her speed could be considered fast, but compared to Triston, it was simply not worth mentioning.
The beauty of the lines and the technique could be difficult for Kara sometimes, but Anika could easily achieve it.
There were always people more skilled. Kara now understood.
She felt that it was better to practice and communicate with her friends than to chat with a big shot.
An hour later, their work was completed. The three of them laughed and clapped their hands.
It didn’t look like a competition, but more like a game.
The teachers had been invited, and the works of the two teams were covered with a layer of cloth.
Jadon announced the rules of the competition and then uncovered the layer of cloth and let the teacher give their scores.
Kendra was very confident in her work. She greeted the teacher and then opened the layer of cloth with her assistant.
Kara raised her head to look, and her eyes lit up.
The most dazzling thing was that there was a glittering ring on a gorgeous rose flower branch, and then there were various flowers that represented love and a pile of jewelry placed next to it.
The ring on the rose represented a marriage proposal.
When a couple was deep in love, they would propose in this way, hoping to be together for the rest of their lives. It was a very good metaphor.
The whole painting was harmonious and had a sense of beauty. It looked very brilliant.
Kendra’s talent was unquestionable.
Several teachers were nodding before they did the work, and then grading the work.
Kara looked at Triston and her palms were sweaty.
“Don’t be nervous, I am here. If you really quit, Anika and I will do the same,” Triston comforted with a smile.
Anika was a bit embarrassed, but she still nodded seriously.
“We finished the together. If we really lose, it can only mean that our skills are worse than hers. We’ll just go back and keep learning. It’s nothing.”
Kara was moved. “Thank you, although I was the one who dragged you into this.”
“Yes, so if we return to China and the organizers don’t buy us plane tickets, you will buy them for us,” Triston emphasized.
Kara glanced at him, speechless.
“Kara, why don’t you open it? Are you afraid? If you know that you have no chance of winning, apologize as soon as possible. You don’t have to embarrass yourself.” Kendra mocked.
Kara smiled faintly. The three of them looked at each other and lifted the cloth.
Immediately, there were a few exclamations in the classroom.
There was a huge tree, flowers and leaves, shy lilac, enthusiastic Margaret, and some red beans that represented yearning growing in the flowers.
A naughty vine bloomed with a dark red rose and wrapped around the branches. The vines grew wantonly, and a few flowers lazily fell on a wooden chair under the tree.
There was also a pink scarf wrapped around a sunflower on the wooden chair.
The flower language of Sunflower was admiration.
Couples got together for admiration.
The theme was “a couple”, so it was all about romance!
The color contrast was strong, and it unconsciously attracted people’s attention.
Every flower represented a word, and next to the work were three words, “I like you.”
The three words were in nice curves, adding a lot of fun to the work.
