The art exhibition was held in the community hall where students of art clubs from all the high schools in the city were participating. Along with Mona, many other students of the art club of Jingyuan high were taking part in the same exhibition.

Han Zixin was once standing outside the gates, looking at his watch, waiting for a certain classmate of his who had threatened her over the phone a few minutes ago to attend the exhibition with her.

And now she was running late!

An Xiulan appeared at the scene running towards the gate, wearing a denim skirt and white top, her hair was let loose and a sparkly hairpin decorated her hair.

“You are late,” Han Zixin said.

An Xiulan sheepishly smiled. She got late because she could decide if she should match her minibar with her glittery blue hairpin or her white shoes. But she couldn’t tell him that as he would scream at her and she didn’t want him to hurt his throat. Look how kind-hearted she was.

“This is for you,” An Xiulan replied as she took out two candies from her minibar which couldn’t hold more than ten candies in total because of its size and handed it to him.

Han Zixin narrowed his eyes at her but took the candles. As the candy melted in his mouth, he forgot about his initial anger and both of them walked inside.

The hall was bustling and the majority of the people inside were the students of Jingyuan high. And the credit should be given to An Xiulan who had posted about the exhibition on her stories and status and urged her fellow students to attend to support Mona and the art club.







Since An Xiulan posted something to support her classmate, every other student from Class Ten K had to now attend the exhibition.

Wang Yuxi, who was An Xiulan’s friend from another section of Class Ten K, saw the story and urged all his buddies and classmates to support the art club and so his entire class had come.

Gu Shangyan would obviously go to any length to support his self proclaimed cousin. He shared the story on his WeChat and Weibo accounts. Of course, Genius Gu had supporters and followers in Jingyuan High School who would certainly follow in his footsteps.

When the Class ten A of Jingyuan school was attending, who were the other sections to refuse?

Just by a single post, An Xiulan was the reason why almost a hundred people from Jingyuan were attending the exhibition.

When other schools saw how Jingyuan High’s all the top and lower sections were there to support their school’s art club, messages were sent and forwarded in school and friend groups and more and more people began coming.

“Do you know Mona’s art name is Monalisa? I have seen on the internet that Monalisa is a famous artwork and I think she has drawn her inspiration from the piece,” An Xiulan was trying to show off that she had some knowledge about art while he didnt.

“En,” Han Zixin reacted blankly. Why did she think he was here to enjoy the paintings? He understood nothing. For him everything was alike.

“Do you know where the piece Monalisa is exhibited?” An Xiulan asked a student who was a volunteer. The volunteer gave both of them a weird look before pointing his finger towards the end of the hall where the certain piece was exhibited.

Han Zixin loudly coughed when he saw the certain art piece that his little blockhead had been dying to see. It was an oil painting of a mushroom and ladyfinger hugging each other. Mushroom’s big stomach was making it difficult for slim and trim ladyfinger to hug it.







He saw An Xiulan scratching her head in confusion. It was a consolation that he was not the only one who didn’t understand the masterpiece.

“Xiao Lan, Big Boss Han, you guys came to support me?” A very energetic Mona came dressed in a burgundy dress, blonding everyone with the glittery tinsels she had braided her hair with.

“Do you like my masterpiece?” Mona grinned.

Han Zixin and An Xiulan exchanged a look, gulping down their feelings before turning their gaze to the artist again to nod their head. Behind her back, An Xiulan had her fingers crossed because she didn’t want to commit a sin by lying.

“I know my Monalisa is the best even though the first prize was won by Huo Yusheng of our school. So, he is from our school, I will not be sad,” Mona added. “But I have to say my Monalisa is quite unique. Lisa will be thrilled to see our painting exhibited here.”

“Lisa?” An Xiulan asked. She had not heard about this Lisa girl.

“Yes, Lisa,” Mona said, pointing at the ladyfinger who had a small mouth, hands and feet. “She is my favourite model who loves to pose for me. In order to give her a tribute, I drew both of us. Thus, the painting is called Monalisa.”

An Xiulan heaved out a sigh as she said, “Yes, it is quite unique.” As she had recalled something, she pulled out a keychain which had a carving of a paint palette from her mini handbag and passed it to Mona. “This is a gift to you from me and Han Zixin. I hope you will bring great honour to our school and us by creating art.”

Mona was so touched by the gesture that she had tears in her eyes. “Thank you, both of you. Your gift means so much to me.”

Many years from now, when someone would ask the legendary artist Mona who had given her the ultimate confidence of expressing her emotions and messages through unique paintings, she would smile at the question and recall a day when two teenagers had given her hope and enough confidence to pursue a career she loved.

Though she would be oblivious to the fact that the teenagers had spoken those words for not breaking her heart but who would have known that those few words would make someone’s future.
