When Huo Wei heard Lou Xiao’s words, she immediately looked at him, and comforted him with her most sincere expression: “How would this painting be bad, in any way? Your paintings convey such strong and powerful emotions, which even many well-known artists can’t achieve. Every single one of these paintings is a treasure.”

Lou Xiao looked into her eyes, and he’s….confused and touched. This is the first time he has shown his paintings to others, so this is also the first time his paintings have been liked and affirmed by others. He was silent for a second and muttered: “My paintings…they made you sad. These paintings convey bad emotions and should not be seen.”

Lou Xiao lowered his eyes and raised his hand to cover the paintings.

Huo Wei quickly stepped forward, held onto his wrist, and looked at him seriously: “I am not sad, it is you who are unhappy. These paintings represent your emotions.”

She did not continue, no one enjoys the feeling of their wound being forcibly exposed. She turned around and looked at the paintings with admiration, and exclaimed: “These are really good paintings, worthy of being treasured. You are amazing! At the airport that day, you said you saw me and had the inspiration to draw a self-portrait of me. How would you like to draw me?”

“I won’t paint you like this, I…” Lou Xiao quickly explained as he was afraid that she would misunderstand, but he then saw the smile on Huo Wei’s face and realize she was joking. The sinking feeling in his heart receded like a tide, and he laughed. He put down the cover cloth and said, “I have no experience in painting portraits. I just want to paint the real you, or the you I imagined, that I saw.”

No one would refuse such a sincere invitation, not Huo Wei, at least. She tidied up the hair hanging on her shoulders and replied with a warm smile: “Then let’s start now. Since you don’t have any specific ideas, then I will paint over there. You can draw me when I’m also drawing.”

“Okay.” Lou Xiao originally wanted her to lean on a soft chair to read so that it would be easier on her body. But Huo Wei wants to paint, so he took on the idea.

After making sure Huo Wei sat down comfortably, Lou Xiao became curious about the paintings she had brought. Huo Wei showed him the paintings, but the original Huo Wei’s paintings can only be described as ordinary, far from Lou Xiao’s paintings.

Huo Wei said embarrassedly: “I used to spend all days doing anything but painting, and I didn’t want to paint well.”

Lou Xiao put the paintings aside, place the brush and paint beside him, and looked at her with a faint smile: “The best painting comes with natural ideas and time. Don’t worry, didn’t you say that this trip also bought inspiration for you? “

Huo Wei nodded, her eyes lit up, “I’m going to draw a series of paintings, and just now, when I observed your paintings, more inspirations came to me. I have a feeling,  I will be able to draw some really awesome paintings today!”

Lou Xiao looked at her childish excitement, and couldn’t help but laugh. It was not a smile on the surface smile, nor was it a sneer or a sarcastic smile, but a real, genuine smile.

Huo Wei stopped, at seeing this and smiled slightly: “You should smile more, you have a really warming smile.”

Lou Xiao was startled. When others talk about him, all he would get are “freak”, “relentless”, “cold-blooded” and “machine-like”, this was the first time he heard the word “warm” being used on him. Does his smile still warm people?

He doesn’t have a cheerful personality, so in reply, he just smiled faintly, walked to his seat, and said: “Your smile is really warm. I will capture it and record it on my canvas.”

“Well, let’s start.” Huo Wei responded softly. She saw that Lou Xiao’s favourability for her had risen to 40, and she smirked at this.

Although things at home were bad, she’s not the one suffering, and her good mood was not affected at all. “I thought I would have to stay at home with unreasonable people, but who knows, I will instead have a  beautiful male company, paint in such a quiet and peaceful studio. There’s soft sunlight shining in from the window so that everything in front of me has a kind of calmness. Who can be bothered by all that mess at home?”

However, Huo Wei wasn’t planning on painting ordinary drawings. They wanted to clarify the rumors, they wanted to dispel, they wanted to clean up the dump on their reputation, and they didn’t hesitate to pull her onto the sinking ship to make people question her. Then she would change her way of defense, and return their own mess, messy to the point that they couldn’t wash their reputation clean even with the world’s purest water.

There are always people who think that power can control everything, such as Huo Tingwei and Huo Ming, but some people who have no power and power can also fight back, just like her.

Huo Wei recalled the scene in the woods that day and painted it lightly with the brush. The canvas in front of her slowly showed the rudiment of the rain forest fire. There is no surveillance in the woods, but as long as she wants to, her paintings can be the best surveillance, presenting everything that happened on that day in front of everyone.

Huo Wei gradually became immersed in it, as if she merged with the drawing board.

People often say that “A man is most handsome when he’s at work.” In fact, a woman is also at the perk of their beauty, when they are concentrated. Her whole body is completely different from usual. She is at peace, attentive, and gentle. Her back is upright and straight, the corners of her mouth slightly squeezed. It is hard to look away from such beauty.

Lou Xiao watched her for a long time, and his whole heart calmed down, as it follows the slow rise and fall of her body.

The two of them painted quietly like this, did not speak, nor communicate with each other, but neither of them was bored; neither looked at the time and was not distracted. They were completely immersed in the painting, fully focused and conscientious.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

It was the alarm clock set by Lou Xiao that awakened them, and the two of them were taken aback. At the same time, they stopped their paintbrushes and looked at each other. Then Lou Xiao quickly put down the brush and turned off the alarm clock, opened the door, and called the doctor to prepare for Huo Wei’s injection.

He turned around to help Huo Wei to get up, and asked worriedly: “You haven’t moved for so long, are you alright? I wasn’t careful enough. I should have set an early alarm to let you rest.”

Huo Wei waved her hand and smiled: “What, am I that fragile? I have nothing to do, and I am very happy, my painting is coming along smoothly.”

Lou Xiao looked at her painting and was a little surprised, “You said you want to paint a series, do you want to paint what happened in the woods that day?”

Huo Wei nodded, her smile fading, “Yes, my emotions are the strongest when I am desperate. I still remember how I felt at that time. This will be my best painting.”

Lou Xiao looked at the painting again, the outline of the painting was already clear, and only bits of color were added. Just looking at the superimposed colors, he felt a wave of depressed emotions washing through him. Her mood of despair must be much stronger than what he’s feeling right now, looking at the painting. He didn’t emphasize much when he heard about that day, but now, standing next to Huo Wei, he suddenly felt a sharp stab of pain in his heart. It was a wave of empathetic pain. That day, she was as desperate as he was, when he was a child at the orphanage.

Maybe she even suffered more than him, because his closest relatives had all passed away, and those who hurt him were not the ones he cared about. The person who hurt her was her twin brother. He couldn’t imagine how sad she was, faced with a painful truth. 

Huo Wei looked up and saw his expression, and touched him with her elbow, “What? It’s a thing of the past, I don’t care about it anymore.”

“How can you not care about such a thing?” Lou Xiao lowered his head, looked at the smile on her face, and said, “If you are sad, you can cry or be unhappy. There is no one else here. Don’t be stuff it in your heart. It will become more serious if you don’t let it out.”

Huo Wei looked at him and tilted his head, “Is this a talk of your experience? Are you getting more and more unhappy because you don’t talk to others and are suffering alone? Anyway, there is no one else here, so If you are not happy, you can vent it.”

Lou Xiao shook his head, “What happened a long time ago has passed. Let’s go, it’s time for an injection, and I’ll let someone prepare lunch.”

“Sure.”

The two did not talk about the past. After all, the past has passed. It may have had an impact, but it cannot keep them in sadness. They became painting friends today, and both are in a better mood than usual.

Huo Wei made a video call to Cui Jing when she was getting an injection so that Cui Jing can watch her getting the injection, and seeing all the good food on the table, Cui Jing was relieved.

Lou Xiao sat across from her, listening to her making her mother happy in the video. There was a warm feeling blooming in his heart, just by listening. It seems that just watching their mother and daughter chat, one can feel they are also blending into their warmth.

After the lunch break, the two went into the studio again. Huo Wei threw away the painting she painted in the morning and plans to paint a new one. She inherited all the abilities of the original owner, and while she has the original owner’s painting abilities, she also has her own artistic skills.

After a morning of practice and exploration, she felt that she might not be able to draw in the original owners’ old style, but she could draw other things, such as designing drawings of something. Her basic designing skills are much better than the original Huo Wei, but after all, their way of painting is Not the same, she also needs a “try out period” to blend everything she knows together and draw the best painting.

To impress people, the painting must convey what she wants to express, otherwise it will be a waste of manuscripts. It is not a pity that she threw away her morning results.

Lou Xiao looked at her in silence for a while and decided to add a few scraps of paper on the ground, to his painting of her. In this way, the feeling of the whole painting has changed again and became more vivid.

He received a call before he was about to start painting, and he went out of the studio to answer it. It was from Yu Hai. Yu Hai knew that his mobile phone would be muted when he was drawing, so he called him when he guessed that Lou Xiao would be resting. The question was not about the company, but it is Zhao Sijia, who asked where he was several times. Yu Hai couldn’t figure out what to reply with.

Lou Xiao thought of Huo Wei’s painting, of Huo Ming’s loving concern for Zhao Sijia and his ignorance of Huo Wei that he saw this morning. He frowned and said, “Treat it as an ordinary customer call.”

Yu Hai understood. To ordinary customers, the key is to be polite and don’t offend. There is no special case, and it is naturally unheard of to disclose anything to them about the chairman.

Coincidentally, as soon as the call with Lou Xiao ended, Zhao Sijia called Yu Hai.

“Yu Hai, is Brother Lou Xiao still busy? I called him and he didn’t return my call. I moved today and wanted to invite him to my new home for dinner. Is he in the company? Or should I go and invite him in person? “

Yu Hai smiled politely: “Miss Zhao, the boss has important things to attend to today. Congratulations on your move. If there is nothing else, I still have work to do. I’m sorry. “

Zhao Sijia was surprised, something important? What’s important? The date with Huo Wei?

She was irritated by Yu Hai’s attitude. Isn’t he just an assistant? How could he possibly dare he block her call with Lou Xiao, behind his back!

But she was felt a little uneasy. It is possible that Yu Hai was following Lou Xiao’s orders to ignore her. Does Lou Xiao really want to date Huo Wei?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
