Marrying the Paralyzed Young Master

Chapter 59: Painting

After she heard Old Man Hadley's words, Soma Haruka calmed down for a moment before slowly nodding her head and agreeing. Although living in the slums was difficult, he could be considered lucky. He met many good people and learned many skills that others could not imagine.

Music and painting are one of them. However, he felt that his painting skills were not very good. He did not understand what the artists were painting on the internet. He also did not understand how some of the lines put together could be understood as the injustice of fate and the struggle against fate.

In his eyes, the paintings sold for millions of dollars were not as good as the paintings painted by the old beggar-man who lived in the shanty hut at that time. Since he had already seen a living painting, his standards naturally became high.

"You know about painting too?" Seeing his expression, Old Man Hadley was slightly surprised. He casually raised the topic of his painting just to change the topic and bring the atmosphere to life. However, apparently Soma Haruka took that seriously and made her become interested. "remarkable. So, what do you think of this Old Man painting? Don't worry, go ahead and voice your criticism and suggestions boldly!"

"Ah, no. I don't know much. I only learned a little from an old man who was good at painting." Soma Haruka denied it, she was afraid that Old Man Hadley would have high expectations of her. So, he took precautionary measures first by saying that.

What he did not realize was that when he said he had only learned a little, the corner of Old Lady Hadley's mouth twitched. Complicated expression. Soma Haruka previously said that she only studied violin briefly and a little, but her ability was great enough to compete with Roseta.

Soma Haruka had no idea what Old Madam Lin was thinking. He stared at the painting on the canvas and pondered it. He said, "I think the composition of this painting is very clever. It uses a combination of light and shadow to show a wetland garden under the sun. In this painting, I personally really like this part."

Soma Haruka pointed towards the charming yellow flower. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "This is a beautiful garden landscape painting, but there is a strange-looking Black-Eyed Susan flower, it was as if it was distorted and different from its fern-filled surroundings. It seems to imply that there are lucky people in the midst of suffering people, even when those who are lucky lead peaceful lives, an uncomfortable feeling towards their suffering neighbors makes his life go awry."

Soma Haruka felt really strange. He could not even utter a word of praise for the works of modern and cutting-edge painters praised by the people. However, he could feel the life in such an ordinary landscape painting. Old Man Hadley's expression gradually became solemn as he spoke, and his smiling face also became more resolute.

Soma Haruka wondered if his nonsense had made Old Man Hadley angry or not. Artists always had all sorts of oddities, when faced with someone like Soma Haruka who only had superficial knowledge but carelessly commented on his artwork, they would probably find it intolerable.

If he infuriated both of Maestro Roseta's parents, he did not know if Mayuna Yon would also be involved. It was all his fault for not being able to control his mouth when he saw something. Soma Haruka lowered her head, subconsciously wanting to apologize.

Soma Haruka was stunned. He thought that Old Man Hadley was angry and forced him to draw a picture to slap him in the face with the fact that he knew nothing about art.

Soma Haruka's scalp became numb. He looked at Old Lady Hadley for help, but Old Lady Hadley only smiled at the sight before him. He looked like an observer. Seeing the old woman was unreliable, Soma Haruka had no choice but to bite her lips and take out a brush. "If Old Man Hadley says that, then I will. However, I must apologize in advance if I show you anything embarrassing."

Soma Haruka actually did not like drawing. The act of drawing is silent and requires calm. A new person is considered an artist when they can put all their attention on the canvas before them and pour out their emotions to the fullest. Soma Haruka did not really need something like that.

At this moment, Soma Haruka grasped the old man's brush. His movements seemed familiar. After calming down, his emotions came and devoured him round and round. He quickly placed the brush on the canvas and sketched out the scenery of his hometown with a few strokes.

Compared to the quiet Old Man Hadley's painting, Soma Haruma's painting was more wavy and occasionally sharp. When Old Madame Hadley saw the light in her husband's eyes, she couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. "Bas with this Old Man, you're a little old, but still greedy."

After being with Old Man Hadley for decades, how could he not understand the reason why his face had darkened before. It was clear that he valued talented people so much that he wanted to accept them as disciples. That was why he had taken a serious stance earlier.

Unfortunately, even if they were husband and wife, he had no intention of handing the music-talented Soma Haruka over to Old Man Hadley. Old Madame Hadley slowly counted in her head, how to win against her husband and snatch this good disciple. That impatient look made it hard to imagine that there were many people outside who were crying and shouting, wanting the couple to accept them as disciples.

Unfortunately, the two of them had high expectations of their students. Thus, no one could meet their standards to become their student. The two of them had not accepted students for more than ten years. So, when their daughter got a disciple, they felt envious, and had thought of revealing their nostrils again to the outside world.

"Your movements are stiff and awkward, you don't seem to hold a brush often."

After Soma Haruka finished drawing, Old Man Hadley still had a serious expression on his face. His expression was hard to decipher as he criticized the way he moved his hand. Soma Haruka listened obediently and tried to correct every wrong attitude shown by Old Man Hadley. As expected, a veteran could see the flaws in his image with a single glance.
