Chapter 148: One Person Doing Three Jobs (2)

[Tracing is called slacking off. Drawing is better than tracing. That’s called strength.]
[Young Master’s question is also my question. Perhaps this is the difference between me and the Almighty.]
[Sister Meng: Tracing the lines, are you insulting me?]
Liao Jiake happened to hear their conversation. Then, she turned to Liao Jiayan and said, “Why don’t we trace the picture out? That way, when we cut it out, it should look the same.”
The group quickly began to draw. The Qi twins realized that they were using the tracing method to draw out the patterns, so they followed suit.
This method was viable but had little practicality.
One side of the paper was red. Although it was thin, it was not very transparent, making it difficult for them to see the lines below.
Meng Chuyuan had already finished drawing while the other guests followed suit.
There were no signs of modification on her paper. The pencil line was very shallow. Under the live-stream camera, the audience could not see the totality of Meng Chuyuan’s drawing.
Seeing that she had completed the drawing step, Lu Jinsen reached out to take the reference picture, wanting to place it below his paper for tracing. Suddenly,
Meng Chuyuan handed him her completed drawing.
Meng Chuyuan said, “Cut it off according to the lines on it.”
Lu Jinsen was stunned. He did not expect her to hand him the drawing that she had painstakingly drawn without even looking at it.
He took the paper in shock and looked down at it for a few seconds. It was exactly the same as the photo given by the production team.
Before he was about to trace out another picture, Meng Chuyuan pulled him back from his thoughts. “This drawing may look big but in fact, the bigger it is, the easier it is to cut it. It should be easier for you to maintain control when cutting the complicated parts so you don’t make mistakes. Hurry up and cut it.
Don’t just stand there.”
“Sister Chuyuan, what about me?” Ting Jiu leaned in front of her and blinked at her. “Draw one for me too.’
He had been blindly cutting paper at the side just now and had already wasted several pieces of paper.
Meng Chuyuan subconsciously reached out and took the paper from him. She said unhurriedly, “Don’t be anxious, okay? I’ll draw one for you now.”
[I suddenly feel that this group is a little burdensome, now that they have an additional person. Hahaha.]
[Sister Meng’s mission is difficult. One king with two bronzes.]
[Little Jiu Jiu is so obedient. It feels like he’s waiting for Sister Meng to spoon feed him.]
[My heart aches for Sister Meng for 0.01 seconds. Two insensible brothers, letting Sister Meng do the work of three people alone.]
[Does Sister Meng think that the Eldest Young Master is unreliable? Is that why she drew such a big and easy-to-cut picture for him?]
Ting Jiu sat at the side, resting his chin on his hands. His eyes slanted towards Meng Chuyuan, quietly waiting for her to finish drawing.
Following her first mode and method of composition, Meng Chuyuan sped up this time and quickly outlined the rabbit’s body. Then, she completed the auspicious pattern inside and slowly drew out the surrounding patterns.
The other two groups tried their best to trace the rabbit. However, towards the end they found it too tiring to do tracing, so they did not continue.
In the end, they followed Meng Chuyuan’s method and placed the reference picture at the side, drawing out the patterns accordingly.
However, they did not have Meng Chuyuan’s talent in drawing. Because they did know how to control the brush, they made many mistakes in the same place. If they wiped their mistakes away too much, not only would the paper lose color, but it would also be torn.
Meng Chuyuan was not affected by the other two groups at all.
Although there were more people in her group and she had yet to finish her part, she knew that being flustered would only make things more complicated.
Lu Jinsen was still cutting the paper seriously. There were too many lines to cut, and there were many hollow areas inside. The paper had been turned countless times in his hand.
The director smiled in satisfaction as he watched the guests immerse themselves in paper-cutting and creating the slow-pace variety effect he wanted.
Compared to others, Meng Chuyuan couldn’t slow down. She was drawing rapidly, wanting to finish Ting Jiu’s drawing as soon as possible. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to finish her own.
After finishing the last stroke, Meng Chuyuan directly threw the painting to Ting Jiu. She didn’t even have time to talk to him before she started drawing again.
“Thank you, Sis.”
When Ting Jiu received Meng Chuyuan’s painting, his eyes curved into crescents, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Seeing that Lu Jinsen had cut more than half of it, Ting Jiu was unwilling to fall behind. He picked up the scissors and cut along the lines.
On the other hand, Qi Yan was running out of patience.
Especially when she stopped to rest, she looked up and inadvertently saw Lu Jinsen and Ting Jiu cutting paper. She was frustrated that they had yet to finish drawing
