Chapter 117

117. Help me wipe it clean.The red hair was tied into two ponytails, hanging on both shoulders.

She wore a white chiffon dress and flip-flops on her feet.

Wen Han appeared like a fairy suddenly appearing in the grassland, walking step by step towards the figure facing the lake and the drawing board in Xinghe Park.

“A beautiful scene! However, the academy said that my landscape paintings are outdated, sigh! It seems… huh?”

A glance out of the corner of his eye made Lin Gui suddenly notice the slanted shadow.

“When did Miss Wen arrive?”

“Just call me Wen Han.” Wen Han walked up unhurriedly, “Sorry for keeping you waiting, shall we start?”

…

The blue sky was reflected on the calm lake surface.

In the park, Wen Han sat quietly on the prepared chair, while Lin Gui across from her painted excitedly with a brush.

“Did you always paint landscapes before?” Wen Han asked while creating.

Lin Gui did not stop his movements: “Yes, I come from Ao Town, my dream is to be admitted to Xinghe Art Academy!”

“Ao Town?” Wen Han hesitated, “Where is that?”

Lin Gui smiled awkwardly: “A small place, it’s normal that you don’t know.”

“Is Mr. Lin a professional painter?”

“More or less, I earn some living expenses by selling things on the roadside.”

“Living expenses?” Wen Han hinted, “Don’t your parents give them to you?”

“My parents have…”

“I understand.” Seeing the other’s expression, Wen Han already knew, pretending it was just a casual question, “I think Mr. Lin will definitely pass.”

“I’ve failed once already.” Lin Gui sighed at this, “I’m good at painting landscapes, but they say my style is outdated, and my portraits are terrible… But with you, I believe we can infuse this painting with soul!”

Wen Han narrowed her eyes and smiled: “Then let’s do our best~”

“Thank you! I’ve already prepared to retake the exam!” Lin Gui clenched his fist, “Although I failed the first time, I’ll continue to take the second attempt!”

Watching the enthusiastic person, Wen Han, as a model, fell into deep thought.

Lin Gui’s background was similar to hers, except he had lost both his parents, while she still had her mother.

But dreams about art, applying to art school… those were all unrelated to her.

Could it really be that she was overthinking everything?

She sank into quiet contemplation when she suddenly noticed a figure standing far away for a long time.

A normal person wouldn’t stay in one place for so long!

Wen Han focused her gaze and suddenly saw that familiar figure.

“It’s him! He discovered it so quickly?”

…

“Is that Lin Gui?”

After noticing Wen Han’s new activity, Su Zeheng followed closely, but he was still surprised when he saw Lin Gui.

“Being targeted by both the Monster Alliance and the Recycling Station… It looks like he is the target of the Recycling Station this time.”

He pondered for a moment and smiled slightly as he approached.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…

At the lakeside, Lin Gui’s brush moved back and forth, gradually outlining a simple sketch.

He nodded contentedly, then turned his head and suddenly widened his eyes: “Eh? It’s Mr. Su?!”

“Huh?” Wen Han sitting opposite tightly squinted her eyes, “These two actually know each other?!”

“Hello.” Su Zeheng smiled at Lin Gui, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Wen Han.

Just like a fleeting touch of a dragonfly, he immediately panicked and refocused.

“Never thought I’d run into you and Wen Han here too.” He suddenly grinned, implying something, “Be careful.”

“Thanks, I’ve been to the hospital, I won’t faint again!” Lin Gui put down his brush, “Oh right! You know Miss Wen too?”

Whoosh, Wen Han stood up and walked to the two of them.

“I’m a very good… friend of Miss Wen.” Su Zeheng struggled to suppress his inner turmoil and looked at Wen Han, “Why are you free here today?”

“You didn’t invite me!” Wen Han rolled her eyes, “I made an appointment with Lin Gui to paint, I’m the model.”

“Oh~” Su Zeheng seemed thoughtful, “Is it done yet?”

“No way, it takes at least a few days.” Lin Gui stroked his easel, “But let’s call it a day! Since you’re all here, why don’t we have dinner together?”

“Sure! What about you, Uncle?”

“Me…”

Even though only a day had passed, his feelings toward Wen Han had changed dramatically.

But emotions can change in an instant, and after that moment… everything was different.

However, emotions are emotions, and Su Zeheng would not forget his identity and responsibilities.

Wen Han had successfully recovered two souls under his watch, he couldn’t stand idly by and watch the target fall victim, watching her step into the abyss of darkness.

“Then I’ll accept your invitation.” He also responded with a smile.

…

In a moment.

“Don’t be formal!”

Led to a booth by the waiter, Lin Gui immediately gestured for Wen and Su to sit first.

Su Zeheng took a seat accordingly but suddenly felt a fragrant breeze pass by.

Wen Han… actually sat next to him?

Smelling the faint scent, Su Zeheng coughed abruptly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Wen Han acted as if nothing happened: “Lin Gui, you’re treating us today!”

“Not at all, just order whatever you want!” Lin Gui sat opposite, “You’re both my saviors, I must treat you!”

“Thanks a lot~?”

The sweet smile bloomed, making Lin Gui blush and turn his head instantly.

But what about Su Zeheng who was closer?

He looked sideways at the other, seeing Wen Han chatting happily with Lin Gui.

For some reason, there was an uneasy feeling in his heart at this moment.

“Let’s order crayfish.” Wen Han suddenly suggested, having a plan in mind.

…

Steaming hot crayfish were soon served.

“Remember to wear gloves, or it’ll be dirty… I won’t be polite!”

Wen Han implied something while putting on gloves and started peeling the crayfish.

Su Zeheng and Lin Gui exchanged glances, but seeing Wen Han seemingly unaware of the hidden meaning, they could only blame themselves for their dirty thoughts.

“Then let’s start.” Lin Gui and Su Zeheng put on gloves one after another.

Wen Han had already started enjoying the food earlier.

“Ah!” Just as the three began indulging in the food, Wen Han suddenly exclaimed.

Su Zeheng immediately looked up and saw Wen Han raise her hands, looking at her dress in horror.

“Oh no! My white dress got stained!!!”

The two immediately noticed the soup dripping onto the white dress, ruining its purity.

“Uncle, help me wipe it!” Wen Han looked at her gloved hands and pouted at Su Zeheng, “Otherwise, it’ll dry and won’t come off!”

“I…” Su Zeheng took off his gloves and took out a tissue, but looking at Wen Han’s white dress and the exposed pale thighs below, he was momentarily at a loss, “It might be a bit inconvenient…”

“Mr. Lin, can you help me?”

“…I’ll do it!” Seeing Lin Gui’s gaze, Su Zeheng instinctively blurted out, “Then I…”

Really going to touch Wen Han’s thigh?!
