Art student Zhong Shenxiu runs into a problem during a portrait sketching class. She couldn't "truly see" Xu Ke, a top student and the subject of the portrait session… She can't draw her subject if she can't see her clearly. Zhong Shenxiu puts down her pencil and wonders, maybe if she became a better student, she would be able to get closer to her, right? And if she could get closer to her, then she could truly see her, right? Until she gets so close that the distance between them is almost zero — like they're almost face-to-face. Phew! Now she can truly see her clearly! But! This is... a little too close! Help! What should she do now!!! (Source: Bilibili, translated)
