Forever Young's
CHAPTER XXXVI Painting Together

Tanio saw Nonanya walking with the Young Master of the Anderson Family. Is that teenager bothering her again?

"Good afternoon, Miss. Go up, please" Tanio said as he opened the car door.

"Sore, Tanio. Thank you." Thank you." Nuna went inside the door and was followed by Rigel.

"Eh?" Tanio blinked confused. "Why did you come in too, Mr Rigel?"

Rigel who had been sitting glanced at Nuna's personal assistant and replied reluctantly, "Gue wants a tutoring list with Nuna."

"Just leave him. You drive immediately, Tanio. I don't want to be late."

Tanio hears Nonanya's orders and drives them to Master Tang's house. He doubted whether Master Tang would accept a new disciple. To study with a Master like Master Tang, prospective students must pass a rigorous selection. Currently Master Tang only had three disciples. Oh, the most important thing now is to contact Mr. Suherman and report Mr. Rigel's suspicious behavior!

Tanio saw them enter Master Tang's house. He immediately took his phone.

"Hello, Tanio. What's up?"

"Good afternoon, sir. I would like to report that Young Master of the Anderson Family followed Miss to the tutoring place. What should I do?"

Suherman chuckles. "Just watch that smelly teenager."

"Good, Sir."

Inside Master Tang's house, Nuna and Rigel meet the host.

"Good afternoon, Master," said Nuna greeting her.

"Sore, Nuna. This is your friend, son?" teacher Tang asked when he saw Rigel standing next to his student.

Nuna nodded. "True Teacher."

Rigel smiled and greeted, "Good afternoon, Mr. Tang. My name is Rigel. I intend to learn to paint with Nuna."

Teacher Tang's eyebrows shot up. Does this teenager use his class to pursue love?

"I'm sorry, I have special requirements for accepting students. But once in a while you can come paint with Nuna as a form of exception since this girl is my genius disciple."

Rigel had already guessed that it would be difficult for tutoring to paint with Nuna, but not bad either to get such permission.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang."

"Okay, then class today, Nuna. Teacher will have you paint each other portraits with Rigel's son. How's it?"

"Good, Teacher."

"Good."

Nuna and Rigel sat facing each other with the canvas and painting tools ready. Nuna observed Rigel who was the object. The teenager had striking red hair. The Class Guardians had already given up on warning him. Nuna's gaze dropped observing the shape of Rigel's eyes, nose and mouth. He then started to scratch his pencil.

Rigel who was stared at by Nuna suddenly felt nervous. He calms down when Nuna turns her attention to the canvas. It was Rigel's turn to observe Nuna's figure.

Rigel noticed the girl's black hair was braided into one on the right side with a hairpin as a decoration. His eyebrows are gently curled and his eyelashes are quite long. Rigel looked at Nuna's pointed nose and the small mouth. Although the girl's face was expressionless when focusing on painting, Rigel was still fascinated by Nuna's beauty.

Deg deg. Thumped.

Rigel reflex's hand touched the spot where his heart was racing. Does painting make someone look amazing?

Master Tang watched the two and of course Rigel's movements did not escape his eyes. Tsk, tsk-s. Young people today.

Nuna was dabbing paint on the canvas when she felt the intense gaze from Rigel that did not go away. He finally raised his gaze and the two stared at each other.

"Are you not drawing? I'm almost done."

Rigel regained his senses and laughed awkwardly. He did not answer Nuna but took her brush. Rigel used to paint directly using oil paint without using sketches.

Nuna was a little surprised when she saw Rigel scratching his brush boldly. His movements are so fast. He doesn't paint anything else, does he? Or is it abstract?

An hour passed. Master Tang looked at the results of the two and was satisfied with their painting. He did not expect, the friend brought by his student had a talent for painting with a unique style.

"What family are you from, son?"

"I'm from the Anderson Family."

Oh well deserved. Teacher Tang recalled his old friend who was Rigel's grandfather. The old man bequeathed his talent to his granddaughter as it turned out.

"Okay, Mr. Tang. Thank you." Thank you." Rigel regretted in his heart that his painting had not been able to capture Master Tang's vision. Should he try to go to another Nuna tutoring place?

"For Nuna, why is the quality of your painting declining a bit?"

Rigel observes Nuna's painting and feels his face is more handsome than a piece of paper.

"Sorry, Master."

Teacher Tang pointed at some of the parts on the canvas. "The lines here are blurry, not sharp like the others. You also overwrite the colors on this and this. Something's making you less focused."

Nuna's pupils vibrate. He glanced at Rigel, the subject that troubled him. Nuna was uncomfortable with Rigel's gaze. He felt his heart throb strangely.

"Sorry, Master."

"It's okay. Teacher has corrected your painting. Today's class is over."

"Thank you, Teacher."

"Thank you, Mr. Tang."

Rigel helps Nuna clean up her painting equipment. He knew the girl glanced at him for a moment when questioned by her teacher. What does that look mean? He just sits down and doesn't do things that can reduce his focus, like playing with watercolor or so on.

"What makes you unfocused?" ask the curious Rigel.

Nuna's hand that closed the zipper of the bag stopped. "You."

Rigel. This girl bluntly shamelessly. "Oh? Why?"

"Your gaze makes me uncomfortable," Nuna replied honestly.

"Ap, what?" Rigel rubbed his non-itchy nose. "Sorrys. You look more beautiful when painting earlier." Rigel expects Nuna to be embarrassed by his praise.

But his expectations are dashed by reality. As usual Nuna replied calmly and confidently. "I am beautiful. Thank you." Thank you."

Rigel was speechless. Oho! He suddenly wanted to ask, "Keep if according to you, how am I? Saucy right?"

Nuna looked at Rigel's face and nodded. "Handsome."

Whatisthis? Why do you feel praised by robots? Rigel knew the girl was purely praising him without any other intentions like her fans at school. Rigel sighed helplessly. "Gue is handsome from birth. Where are you going?"

"Les violin."

"Okay gas."

"You're not coming home?"

Rigel. "Gue wants to follow you & you go home."

Nuna remained silent. This teenager will not follow him tomorrow, right? Just today?

"There's no tomorrow."

"What?" ask Rigel confused.

"I just let you follow me today. There is no tomorrow" explained Nuna.

Rigel grinned. "As far as I dong. You didn't forget there was a deal? You have to compensate."

Nuna performs the breathing technique sitali.

Tanio beside them grew nervous when he saw Nonanya doing the habit. No, madam!

Nuna looked at her personal assistant. "Tanio, let's go."

"Good, Miss." Tanio opened the car door and let Nuna in.

Rigel followed behind and sat down beside Nuna. Throughout the journey his smile did not disappear from his face. It was so nice to make Nuna upset. He glanced at the girl beside him who was wearing earphones. Rigel chuckles. He knew Nuna didn't want to talk to him. But it doesn't matter. He could annoy her at the violin lessons later.

Rigel stared at his callous fingers. He hasn't played music in a long time. The guitar in his house is still wrapped in plastic. Maybe he'll come home later and play it.
