Chapter 57 Understanding the Concept of Rebirth
In the evening, after completing half of the assigned test paper, Milly felt like her brain was about to
explode.
As a doctoral student from a prestigious university, enduring the endless practice questions proved quite challenging for her.
She genuinely admired all the current high school seniors. They managed to stay composed and perform well in exams under such intense pressure. Their mental resilience was even more impressive than hers when she pursued a career as an actress in her previous life.
As she put down her pen, exhaled a sigh of relief, and rubbed her throbbing forehead, she picked up a cup to go downstairs for a sip of warm water. The plan was to keep herself alert and then return to continue solving problems.
The maids downstairs had already rested, and the entire villa was quiet.
The sound of tearing paper could be heard from a corner as she poured water and prepared to go upstairs.
Huh?
Does someone still haven’t slept?
Milly blinked and walked over with curiosity. She found a figure in a quiet corner of the living room. He seemed pretty frustrated, tearing paper constantly and scratching his head.
Hmm, okay. Now I know how he got his messy hair.
“Get lost! Didn’t I say I don’t want to be disturbed?‘ scolded Matthew sternly.
He was annoyed right now. There was an inspiration in his mind, but he just couldn’t put it on paper.
He vividly remembered the dance moves he saw during the day, and there was a flash of inspiration in his mind. However, now that he was back and ready to put pen to paper, it seemed like no matter how he drew, something was missing or not quite right.
What’s the problem?
Milly didn’t realise it was him at first, assuming it was Jordan handling official matters. Hearing his irritation, she decided not to intrude. “Sorry, I didn’t realise it was you. I’ll leave now.”
Matthew held strong biases against her and disliked her, so it was better to keep some distance.
“Wait a minute.”
As Milly turned around, she was called out again.
She turned back and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Matthew also froze. He didn’t know why he had suddenly called out to her when he heard her voice. “Uhm…”
They were waiting for the other to speak, and there was a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

“Ugh, um. I just wanted to ask you what you said to Alan about the swan’s rebirth during the day. What did you mean?” Matthew asked somewhat awkwardly..
He wanted to complete the illustration right now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother talking to her!
Milly h
blinked, a bit puzzled. “Swan’s rebirth?”
“Yeah, rebirth. In other words, how do you interpret the concept of rebirth?”
Milly blinked again, even more confused. “Rebirth?”
“You…” Matthew, seeing her confused expression, thought she didn’t want to talk and instantly got annoyed. “If you don’t want to say it, forget it. Just go away.”
His attitude was extremely rude.
Milly looked innocent. She didn’t understand what he was asking or why he suddenly got a apparent reason.
Umpled paper balls, and unfolded them. All of them were filled with disorderly lines, with a word written in the bottom right corner: ‘Rebirth.
Matthew furrowed his brow, tearing another sheet of paper and crumpling it before tossing it away. Irritated by her question, he said, “Black represents death, white represents light. The clash between black and white is the most intense, making it the most suitable depiction for rebirth. Moreover, they
“Forget it. Why am I even explaining this to you? You don’t understand art or design. Just leave and stop bothering me.”
Having won numerous world–class awards, everyone’s natural reaction to his artwork was praise. No one had dared to criticise it in his presence before!
