Chapter 1271 - An IQ of 280-300
Chapter 1271: An IQ of 280-300
Wen Xinya sat on the furry carpet with a soft and fluffy pillow in her arms, in front of the coffee table. She was busy designing some Jewelry.
Teacher Ji had given her strict instructions to follow when completing her assignments. After every phase of learning, she would have to submit a sketch of her design. This time, Teacher Ji had tasked her to design some hairpins.
Instead of a complicated design, Wen Xinya opted for a floral theme where she would be incorporating the shapes of twelve different types of flowers into her design concept.
A floral theme was common in Jewelry design and it was rather simple as well. However, the soul of the design mattered the most when it came to Jewelry.
The most crucial factor was how the designer could give life to a dry and mundane piece of work.
After scrutinizing Wen Xinya’s sketch for a moment, Si Yiyan said, “This wisteria hairpin looks simple, but it’s actually very intricate and detailed. The most amazing part of the design lies in the petals. From afar, it looks graceful and exquisite, but upon a closer look, the petals seem to spread open and come to life.”
Wen Xinya put her pen down and remarked, “Not bad, you’ve got great taste!”
She had designed a wisteria-shaped hairpin that had grayish-brown vines that resembled dragons and snakes. The wisterias were vibrant and beautiful, with streaks of blue within the purple petals.
Si Yiyan said, “You definitely have an incredible flair for Jewelry design. It’s only been a month but you’ve already progressed so rapidly.”
In the past, she used to sketch designs frequently too. Although her sketches were often lively and surreal, her technique seemed a little coarse and she had a lot of room for
improvement.
Currently, her technique had improved greatly, but her sketches were still too puerile. It seemed she still had a long way ahead of her.
Wen Xinya said, “I owe it all to Teacher Ji’s good teaching.”
Teacher Ji was indeed impeccable at explaining and teaching the concepts of Jewelry design.
Si Yiyan changed the subject by asking, “How’s your fashion design module going?”
Wen Xinya majored in Jewelry design and was not too interested in fashion design in the past. However, he discovered recently, that she was incredibly talented in fashion design as well, which was rather surprising.
Wen Xinya smirked at Si Yiyan and said, “You’ve asked that question thrice this week.”
Si Yiyan seemed to be more enthusiastic about her design lessons than she had expected him to. In addition to the Jewelry design informative books, there was now study material for fashion design in their study.
Si Yiyan answered rhetorically, “Is that so? I didn’t notice.”
After giving it some thought, Si Yiyan realized that he had indeed asked that question several times before.
Wen Xinya snorted and teased. “Drop the act, your IQ is somewhere between 280 and 300! My Grampy would say that you’re almost as intelligent as a demon. Why wouldn’t you have noticed such a trivial matter? Who are you kidding!?!”
She already knew how intelligent Si Yiyan was and hence, would not be fooled by him.
Si Yiyan chuckled and asked, “Is there a necessary relationship between the two?”
Wen Xinya answered, “Of course!”
A person’s IQ was closely related to their attention span and how much they paid attention to details.
Si Yiyan said, “Your IQ isn’t low either, but do you take note of how many times you drink water, wash your hands and take a breath each day?”
Wen Xinya was momentarily speechless. She glowered at him indignantly.
Si Yiyan said, “It’s been proven that even the most intelligent people only pay attention to the things that they’re willing to. They don’t bother paying attention to casual details or things that don’t matter.”
“So…” Wen Xinya asked. I shall see… what big facts Si Yiyan can come up with.
Si Yiyan said composedly, “You still haven’t answered my question.”
Wen Xinya burst into laughter and said, “Fine, stop asking. I’ll focus on leaning fashion design. Since I’ve promised to design all of your clothes and accessories in the future, I won’t go back on my word. Will that do?”
She had only brought it up casually but Si Yiyan began harping on it, rendering her speechless.
However, she was actually rather glad.
She was pretty elated when she imagined Si Yiyan being dressed in the apparel and accessories that she had designed. It was as if he would be covered in labels belonging to her.
Si Yiyan finally pulled Wen Xinya into his arms and kissed her in satisfaction. “I’m looking forward to that day. You have to work hard. Don’t make me wait for too long.”
Wen Xinya burst into laughter and changed the subject. “By the way, Xu-er is back. Gu Junling called us previously and suggested that we get together to catch up. They also told me to bring you along. Would you like to come with me?”
Xu Zhenyu was gone for more than 20 days and she had also begun missing him. However, she was rather disappointed about the fact that he did not contact her first.
Si Yiyan’s eyes turned gloomy and he said smilingly, “Since your friends are so sincere about it, there’s no reason for me not to go.”
Besides, he did not wish for Wen Xinya to interact with Xu Zhenyu excessively, even if they were just at a gathering. Hence, he would definitely turn up since they had invited him. At the same time, he also wanted to assert dominance and claim his territory in front of Xu Zhenyu. He trusted Wen Xinya, but he could not trust Xu Zhenyu.
Wen Xinya had already expected that Si Yiyan would agree to go, for he had always been petty and wary of Xu Zhenyu. “You can come along, but I have to make things clear beforehand. Xu Zhenyu is finally back and it’s been a long time since we got together. You’re not allowed to be so restrictive with me and embarrass me. You’re also not allowed to get jealous for no reason.”
It was not Si Yiyan’s first time getting jealous of Xu Zhenyu and hence, she was worried that he might just make things difficult for Xu Zhenyu during the gathering. Of course, she was also afraid that Si Yiyan would be too controlling towards her and stop her from doing what she wanted. She felt incredibly embarrassed because her friends felt that she was too afraid of him.
Extremely amused, Si Yiyan asked, “Am I such a person?”
He admitted that he had indeed gotten jealous of Xu Zhenyu before, but he had never allowed his jealousy to affect his relationship with Wen Xinya. He thought, Must she give me a reminder? Since when have I ever been controlling towards her? Why don’t I remember it at all?
Glaring at him, Wen Xinya clipped. “Yes.”
Si Yiyan was speechless. Could you save me some face?
