His Venomous Former Boss Chased Him And Beat Him Fiercely Chapter 39

I’m ready, I’m ready!

The image gradually became more refined. Sometimes, just a few simple strokes were enough to add detail to a small area.

Kong Xunwen was skilled at concealing colors, but he didn’t use it much in this painting. Large areas of dark color were pressed down, then brightened in certain spots, and the dazzling light streak was faithfully rendered.

However, in the original photo, the man’s head was divided by the boundary between the dark clouds and the white light. Kong Xunwen adjusted this, highlighting the man with the white light. His face was still somewhat blurry, but as stroke after stroke fell, Qiu Zhijie’s face gradually became clear.

It was even clearer than the photograph.

The pose was also slightly adjusted, making the image more beautiful and dynamic, instantly capturing the viewer’s attention.

Time passed slowly. The pessimistic comments in the live chat all faded away, leaving only…

Quick, quick, quick, I want to win this draw, I’m commissioning this piece!

My account can’t wait, Wenwen, you can start the lottery now! I’m mobilizing all my relatives and friends!

Wuwuwu why did I only see the streamer so late, I want to enter the draw too!

? Didn’t they say you just need to follow to enter the draw?

!!! Another competitor

Hehe, is that how it works?

Instantly, the number of followers on Kong Xunwen’s account began to rise rapidly.

However, he didn’t have time to pay attention to this. Kong Xunwen was still diligently refining the piece, only stopping abruptly when nearly two hours had passed.

The painting wasn’t actually finished, but looking at the time, if he kept dragging it out, he probably wouldn’t have time to draw the winners for the commissions.

At this point, the image was essentially complete. To many viewers, it already looked like a finished painting. He turned his head and saw that the live stream room had somehow reached over five thousand viewers. Although the number fluctuated, it maintained a steady average.

The live chat was very lively, mostly praising the beautiful artwork and anticipating the start of the event. No one seemed impatient.

Well, perhaps those who were impatient earlier had already left.

Seeing the young man finally put down his pen, the new viewers who had been informed about today’s event immediately started urging him to begin the activity, and in the process, finally got a clear look at the young man’s handsome features.

Start the lottery quickly… Wait, no one mentioned the streamer was this good-looking.

Start the lottery plus one. The painting is too beautiful, I need to mobilize friends and family… *gasp*, so handsome…

A handsome guy who can also paint so well, how are the rest of us supposed to live?

The young man first looked at the live stream interface on his phone, his eyes widening slightly in surprise, as if shocked by the rising viewer count. Then he adjusted the equipment to face the camera.

“So many people…” he murmured softly, as if talking to himself. He quickly smiled at the camera: “Welcome to the new friends. I’ll start the lottery now.”

Hahahahahaha Wenwen didn’t expect so many people, did you? So cute.

I only know that the lottery is finally starting, I can’t wait!

Say no more, say no more, I’m going to enter the draw immediately!

I’m ready, I’m ready!

Kong Xunwen fumbled a bit with the lottery settings on the side, following the method he had researched earlier. His movements were slow for a moment, so he spoke to reassure the viewers: “This is my first time doing this, I’m a little rusty, but it will be ready soon.”

He glanced at the chat. The previously bustling comments had quieted down considerably, but the number of viewers hadn’t dropped much, and there were still small gift effects popping up.

He sped up, confirmed everything was set, and started the draw.

Kong Xunwen looked at the interface on his phone: “The draw is open. Everyone go check it out. If there are no issues, you can start entering.”

Before he even finished speaking, he watched the number of participants skyrocket. The live room currently had over five thousand six hundred people and was still rising. The number of people entering the draw had already exceeded a thousand, and new viewers entering the room saw the lottery interface and instinctively joined.

As a result, many more people followed Kong Xunwen’s account simultaneously.

Kong Xunwen didn’t just stare blankly. Seeing the participating fans start posting comments, he resumed interacting with the chat.

When the time was right and the number of participants had stabilized, he ended the draw: “I will be drawing five winners this time. I’m not sure if I can finish them all today, but I will hold more draws if there’s a chance later.”

As he spoke, the results of the draw were displayed. Some people who didn’t win immediately left the live room, but others stayed. Overall, there were still about five thousand people remaining.

Kong Xunwen read out the usernames of the winners: “Congratulations to Xiaoxiao, Chunxia Yidongqiu (Spring-Summer-One-Autumn-Winter)… If you are currently in the live room, you can send your requests directly. If you have reference images, you can send them to me privately and mention it in the chat.”

He pursed his lips, feeling a little nervous again, but having just finished one painting, he felt relatively confident.

Wuwuwu I didn’t win, so sad.

I used five alternate accounts and still didn’t win, I’m genuinely envious.

Wenwen, why don’t you set a price? I can pay for a commission.

Also requesting a commission. This quality is rare and highly sought after. With my luck, drawing is probably impossible. Paying with money is better.

As someone said this, several expensive gifts were thrown down. Kong Xunwen’s attention was naturally drawn to them, but he wasn’t sure if he could accept commissions yet, so he didn’t commit fully: “Maybe there will be a chance in the future.”

Okay, okay, please be sure to announce it in the live room then.

Kong Xunwen nodded and then started thanking people for the gifts.

Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected to win, but the young man clearly said her username. She double-checked, and it really was her.

It was definitely the right decision to take the day off. By not entering the draw at that unlucky company, look! She won!

She was filled with excitement but hadn’t thought of a theme yet, so she posted a comment asking to be placed later in the queue.

Kong Xunwen found the comments from these few people in the chaotic chat. Seeing her request, he nodded: “Alright, no rush.”

Ahhhhhh it really is me!!! My OC!!! Mama won the draw for you!

I was too excited just now, Wenwen, let me send you the commission I got for my OC before. I’ve already thought of what I want this time.

Kong Xunwen immediately saw these comments, which were from Chunxia Yidongqiu. The remaining winners also spoke up, saying they needed time to think. “Then let’s start with ‘Chunxia Yidongqiu.’ Did you send me the private message?”

After some communication, Kong Xunwen understood her request.

The previous commission that Chunxia got for her OC (Original Character) was placed aside as a reference image. It was a girl with long, straight, dark green hair and light green eyes, her body covered in vine patterns.

The reason for describing her this way was that the character in the painting looked only about seven or eight years old, still very young.

However, Chunxia wanted Kong Xunwen to draw the adult version of this character.

I want her to be a woman with a graceful figure, her light green eyes shining like jewels, emitting light. Her crown is slightly tilted, the last gift left by her homeland. Her long hair is like a deep forest, and the vines on her body are like her armor…

Kong Xunwen extracted the key points from Chunxia’s somewhat flowery description. The overall picture would likely be based on deep green and some deep red, with a dark background, and the protagonist in the foreground, resembling an elf queen who lost her home. However, she didn’t have elf ears. The vine patterns on her body were described as slightly raised, which would probably take some time to detail.

Overall, it wasn’t difficult.

Kong Xunwen quickly sketched a draft in his mind and was surprised to find that this kind of “prompted assignment” was quite simple for him, and even quite interesting.

But before starting the painting, he temporarily suppressed this feeling, seriously created a canvas, and began sketching.

Since this had to follow the client’s request, he naturally had to show the draft first.

He had seen online that this was how commissions were usually handled.

Kong Xunwen was very proficient at sketching. It wasn’t difficult for him to visualize a picture in his mind and then bring it to life.

Chunxia Yidongqiu had just started working. After her internship ended and she earned some money, her first priority was to find a suitable artist to commission for her OC. She hadn’t found the right one until she stumbled upon Wen’s live stream. That painting instantly reminded her of her OC.

The moment she realized she won the draw, she was ecstatic. She celebrated thoroughly with the friend who was watching the live stream with her at the dessert shop. She decided that if the final piece was good, she would send the money she had prepared for the commission as gifts to the streamer.

The young man in the live room had already started sketching. His speed was incredible. Chunxia felt that in just an instant, the image in her mind had become reality.

She leaned her head on her friend’s shoulder, excitedly stomping her feet: “Look, look! This is exactly what I wanted!”

Her friend leaned in for a look, then looked at Chunxia, speechless: “This is what you described with all that stuff?”

Chunxia nodded vigorously: “If I knew how to draw, this is exactly what I would draw!”

“…Maybe you should go back and study Chinese literature. I don’t even want to comment on your description. But this artist is really good. Can you commission him?”

Chunxia raised her head, beaming: “For now, it’s only through the lottery! Only someone with my good luck can get a commission. What if my Chinese isn’t good? I have good luck!”

Her friend nudged her waist: “Alright, alright, he’s asking you a question.”

Chunxia quickly looked at the live room. The young man was indeed asking her if the sketch was acceptable.

She quickly typed: [Yes, yes, yes!!!!! This is exactly what I wanted!!! You are too amazing, Great Master!!!]

Kong Xunwen blinked when he saw this and looked away: “Then I’ll continue.”

On the surface, he maintained the cool expression of someone focused on their work, but inwardly, he was extremely happy.

This feeling…

He couldn’t quite describe it. It was probably like a flower blooming in his chest, the tremor of its opening so light, so light, making his heart flutter along with it.

It felt so good.

Kong Xunwen was used to painting, especially digital painting. His speed was fast; he could finish a painting in a few hours without sacrificing any detail.

During this time, the number of viewers in the live room continued to rise slowly, eventually surpassing five thousand, and then slowly creeping up to over ten thousand, and it was still increasing.

The gifts in the live room were almost non-stop.

It wasn’t until 7 PM that Kong Xunwen finished Chunxia’s piece. This was the second painting, and he had just started sketching the next one. He hadn’t needed to make many modifications this time. Just as he clarified the final request and continued painting, a knock came at the door.

Kong Xunwen didn’t like listening to music while painting. He usually played white noise, such as the sound of wind blowing through leaves, rain, or birdsong. Since returning home, he had natural white noise outside the window and had grown accustomed to it, so he hadn’t played anything extra.

Therefore, the sound of the knock instantly reached his ears.

Kong Xunwen looked up and met the gaze of the tall figure who had already opened the door. The man looking down at him had a somewhat serious expression, but his eyes held mostly helplessness, though he still exerted a strong sense of pressure.
