Although the space at Ruan Wen’s home is also very small, the placement of items is very well organized, at least it is more organized than the layout of Li Wen’s home.

A few pieces of clothing were hung in the light, and a faint soap fragrance wafted out.

The teapot on the gas stove was emitting white air, and the sound of water was gradually getting smaller.

"Don't just stand, sit casually." Ruan Wen said, closing the valve and taking a clean cup to pour water into it.

Li Wen picked up a chair and sat down. Next to the chair was an easel with a painting that was about to be completed.

Whether it is the lines, the techniques of outlining it, or the themes contained in it are unique and impeccable, it is completely master-level.

It is hard to imagine that paintings with master level will be filled with pearls, while the mellow wine will be hidden in the alley.

"Sorry, I only have boiled water here..."

Ruan Wen smiled and brought the cup to Li Wen's hand.

"It's okay, my favorite drink is boiled water, thank you." Li Wen took it with both hands and felt the temperature of the cup noodles in his palm, which was very warm.

"Don't thank me. It's me who should say thank you. I've been lit a candle for a week, and even the boiling water was burned today... Li Wen, thank you..." Ruan Wen's voice was a little choked when she said thank you.

It is very rare to have someone who truly cares about you in the most difficult times. What is even more valuable is that the people who provide help have a very difficult life.

Li Wen is Ruan Wen's old neighbor, and Ruan Wen is also Li Wen's neighbor. She naturally understands that his life is also very difficult. She secretly helps her pay electricity and gas fees.

Humans are emotional animals, and they all have emotions.

"Ms. Ruan Wen is so serious. Everyone is compatriots. It is also appropriate for foreigners to take care of each other." Li Wen did not blush at all when he said this. In fact, it was Chen Jiahao who helped Ruan Wen pay the electricity bill and the gas bill.

Ruan Wen nodded silently, with water flowing in her eyes. She noticed that Li Wen's eyes had been on the drawing board for a long time, and then asked curiously: "Li Wen, do you know how to draw?"

"A little bit of it."

After hearing what Li Wen said, Ruan Wen became interested and said with a smile: "Would you like Master Li to evaluate my humble work?"

"I can't afford to be the master's name, but if Miss Nguyen Van doesn't mind, I can say a few words."

Although Li Wen is not a painter and has no artistic cells, he has an unusual talent for fraud and his appreciation of art is first-class.

Just like a wine tasting person, he may not necessarily make wine.

"Please, I'll listen carefully." Ruan Wen's paintings for so many years, and repeatedly hit a wall, and his works were demoted to nothing and no one cared about. She asked Li Wen, an old neighbor who knew nothing, to comment on it casually, and it was just a self-admiration and looking for some spiritual comfort.

Li Wen took a deep breath and his expression gradually became serious.

"Miss Nguyen Van, I'm sorry, your painting is comparable to the 'Four Seasons' that was exhibited last week in the Art Gallery."

"'Four Seasons'? I... Li... Li asked, are you not deliberately comforting me? The transaction price of 'Four Seasons' is the highest at the exhibition. Its author has been popular all over the world ten years ago. I... can my works really compare to it?"

"Of course, please don't belittle yourself. Look here... the lines are outlined in depth. And here, you only use one stroke to give the whole painting a unique style, especially this place, which is simply the finishing touch. It's not enough to be more or less, it's simply perfect. And here... this place..."

"Li Wen..."

"What's wrong?"

Li Wen turned his head and noticed that Ruan Wen's eyes were already filled with tears, and even transparent liquid dripped out of his nose, and his chin trembled.

"I really didn't expect that you would be the one who admires me the most." Ruan Wen's eyes were red.

Every word Li Wen talked about her heart. Every place she picked out was the painting technique she relied on for pride. Unfortunately, so many years have passed, but no second Li Wen appeared.

Li Wen took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Ms. Ruan Wen, the road to pursuing art is full of ups and downs. To be honest, my dream is also to be a painter. I envy you for working hard for your dreams and not giving up. I have a saying I want to give to you. Do you want to hear it?"

Nguyen wiped the tip of his nose with a veil and nodded.

"There is only one protagonist in every million people in this world. When the protagonist is the one who can reach the extreme, you must first find the right stage."

“The right stage?”

"That's right." Li Wen nodded heavily, "Only by stepping on the right stage can you have the opportunity to fully demonstrate yourself, but I believe that the stage that belongs to you will arrive soon."

"Thank you, thank you, Li Wen." Nguyen returned the handkerchief to him.

"You're welcome, I'm going back and busy."

"Li Wen!" Ruan Wen suddenly stopped him again.

Li Wen turned around.

Ruan Wen smiled and said, "You just said that your dream is to be a painter too?"

Li Wen nodded.

Nguyen Van looked at him, "If you have time, I will welcome you at any time. If you have dreams, you must take action."

"Okay, I will."

Li Wen breathed a long sigh after leaving.

Compared with Li Wen in the original drama, he was dispensable with Ruan Wen until the end of the film. This is a good start, at least one budding.

But there is still a long way to go to make this bud grow and bear fruit.

The key to this journey is "Death, Knight and Devil". Only this painting can make the "painter" appear, and only the "painter" can provide me with a stage that belongs to me.

Li Wen's stage.

Li Wen added another layer of wax to the semi-finished product of "Death, Knight and Devil" on the drawing board. After thinking about it, he sprinkled a thin layer of wood ash on it.

After a few hours, the wax will be dried and the wood ash will be blown off. This work that is enough to make a fake come true should be accomplished.

In the evening, Li Wen, who had been busy for the whole afternoon, just got off work from Uncle Xin's watch shop and was stopped by a man when he rode his bicycle into the alley.

"Oh, Li Wen, wait a moment." Chen Jiahao waved beside the luxury car.

Li Wen pushed the bike and walked over, "What a coincidence, is Mr. Chen a problem?"

Chen Jiahao smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that you came up with a very good idea. Miss Ruan's attitude towards me is not as bad as before."

Li Wen was also laughing in his heart.

Ruan Wen was enlightened today. When he was in a good mood, his attitude towards people would definitely change.
