Because of Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia had quit social media. He only used a fixed app to go on the Internet. He had no interest in entertainment gossip, and didn’t even bother peeking there.
Although he had gotten close with the people in the class, it was not to the extent of friends, and since they knew he was acquainted with Ye Tian, they deliberately avoided him when gossiping about her.
If others didn’t say it to his face, Ji Mingxia also wouldn’t intentionally come forward, but he’d hear a few words from time to time, and that’s how he realized that Ye Tian was in trouble.
She was a star, and it was normal to be riddled with scandals. So it made sense that there would be people secretly discussing her, and Ji Mingxia did not take it to heart.
It wasn’t until the last two classes in the afternoon when his class was having a common class with another department, that he knew things were serious.
Although Ji Mingxia had been famous for a while, he was not a celebrity after all, and after a while, many passersby had forgotten what he looked like.
The students in his class would be a bit careful in front of him, but the students from other departments won’t think so much about it and just gathered around in discussion.
The shared classroom was very large, and the teacher in the front row had to speak through the microphone. In order to gossip and not be discovered, the students in the back took advantage of the talking teacher to chat.
This way, the teacher’s loud voice would drown out their voices. Not only would they not be discovered, but the whole group could also hear each other properly.
Ji Mingxia was forced to listen to the various speculations of those people. He didn’t take it seriously at first, but as he listened, his expression gradually became solemn.
Ye Tian’s matter whether big or small wouldn’t have been a big issue, but it was the series of reactions after the incident that attracted the public’s attention.
The incident started from the afternoon art class.
The art teacher taught the class as usual, giving the students guidance, and then giving them an assignment. The assignment this time was a self portrait.
This was a very common art assignment and people don’t take it seriously. Usually, people would just draw to deal with the situation, and then use the rest of the time to relax.
Everyone chatted and drew, and every now and then, they played with their phones or peeked at Ye Tian.
Although Ye Tian was a freshman, her identity was special and she had been the subject of discussion long before enrollment. She didn’t have to be present in every class as the school had reached a compromise with her. As long as she passes her final exam, she has permission to come late or skip a class.
A month into the school year, Ye Tian’s total number of times in class was less than a week and it was only now that she was free. She still had Ji Mingxia, on her mind, and was not familiar with the students in class.
While the class was in session, many people were curious about Ye Tian and they wanted to see the star’s artistic level, and what she looks like in her eyes.
As a result, they gradually found that something was wrong.
When Ye Tian shot to fame, she often shared her cartoons on Weibo. The style was delicate and romantic, and the fans once jokes that she was a cartoonist delayed by stardom.
Everyone peeked at Ye Tian not only to see the star, but to also see how she paints.
As a result, it seemed as Ye Tian was pranking everyone. She picked up a paint brush and scribbles all over the place. Like a child, she clenched the brush in a fist, and randomly scribbled.
On the white paper, black paint occupied most of the page, and in the most central position was something with a crooked face. At first glance, it looked like a monster, but on closer inspection, it looked like a child.
The child had a total of four eyes, two were tightly closed, one eye was looking at its own body, and the other eye was looking straight ahead.
Everyone who saw this painting was shocked. It was unbelievable that such a dark and frightening painting was painted by Ye Tian.
Could it be that this is how Ye Tian saw herself?
Although it looked very terrifying and gloomy, and that the painting style was very different from her previous works, it was still very powerful.
Especially the eye that stared at the person outside the painting. It felt real, and everyone didn’t dare take a second glance.
The students speculated in this way because they were surprised by Ye Tian’s work, but no one dared to talk to Ye Tian.
When the bell rang, everyone got up and was ready to take a break, when Ye Tian, who had been immersed in the painting, woke up as if from a dream. She was startled by her “self-portrait”, and she pointed to the eye while screaming!
“What did you say? You mean Ye Tian pointed at her self-portrait and screamed after she drew a horrible self-portrait?” A students in Ji Mingxia’s class asked after listening to the gossip. “What do you mean, she was also scared by her own work?”
“Who knows? My friend is in the same class as Ye Tian, he has always liked her and watched the whole thing, there is absolutely no possibility of lying.” The student who sat in the middle of the crowd and was responsible for passing on the gossip said.
Seeing that everyone’s appetite was whetted and they looked a little scared, he immediately improvised. He deliberately lowered his voice and slowly said: “He said that Ye Tian was so frightened by the painting. If he had not see Ye Tian finish the self-portrait herself, her reaction would simply make people think that she was not the painter…. In layman’s terms, it was like a ghost possession and after painting, the person comes to their senses and gets scared.”
“Fuck, don’t scare people.”
“Why are you bringing up horror stories in broad daylight, are you looking for death?”
“The Ye family deleted all the posts on the forum, what do you think?”
Sure enough, the surrounding students became a little scared.
Gossip time was precious, at any time the teacher, the teacher would find them chatting so someone hurriedly asked if that was all.
The gossipmonger sitting in the center hurriedly said: “Of course not, the self-portrait was just an appetizer. Let me tell you, from that moment on, Ye Tian became a little crazy. This is first-hand news. There was a lot of discussion, but no one mentioned the self-portrait because what happened after was too exciting, everyone just looked back and…”
“Why so much nonsense, quickly say it, why did the Ye family delete posts and ban accounts at the expense of public anger?” A student urged.
Ji Mingxia also pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
You know this poor girl has been haunted for so long.. MC why are you surprised by this news? Smh
