There is no way to calm down and rest for a while.
...
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao affirmed, "You don't look very good."
...
"ah?"
Now that Mr. Xiao Xiao said this, the scholar nodded, "I understand."
But sometimes it gets excited and forgets its promise.
...
Xiao Xiao smiled.
As long as the scholar is willing to listen to his opinions.
He changed the subject.
"Why won't a shadow appear behind you when you draw this time?"
This was also the doubt he had when he saw the scholar.
At the previous art exhibition, when the scholar started writing, the content of the painting would appear behind him.
Particularly magical.
Why isn't there this time?
...
"ah?"
After being stunned for a moment, the scholar smiled knowingly, "Maybe it's the problem with the paints."
"Because of these paints, this painting was more difficult for me than the previous paintings."
These pigments cannot convey its magical power well.
The paintbrush in its hand is no longer as flexible as before.
...
So that’s it.
Xiao Xiao understood.
"That......"
Did he make a not-so-good proposal before?
Scholars are indeed not suitable for painting with human paints.
...
"but."
The scholar's excited voice interrupted Xiao Xiao's unfinished words.
"This painting is great!"
"I know."
"I'll finish a great painting!"
...
Yeah?
Xiao Xiao did not mention what he had just interrupted.
He laughed.
"I am looking forward."
...
"This painting will be a breakthrough for me..."
The scholar's mouth kept opening and closing.
The excitement is palpable.
"After completing this painting, the day is not far away when I can truly complete it on my own!"
"I......."
The scholar raised his head and looked at Bai Mei in front of him.
Then he was stunned.
It raised its head.
Why?
This is......
...
The scholar looked at the sky outside.
"......It's raining......"
"I do not even know."
...
Didn't you notice the heavy rain?
Xiao Xiao smiled and sighed.
The scholar was indeed very focused when he was painting.
...
"Thank you."
The scholar bent slightly towards Bai Mei.
I have been painting the white plum blossoms for so many days.
The scholar is confident and knows every branch and flower of the white plum blossom.
Originally, the top of its head did not have such densely intertwined branches.
To talk about why there is such a change...
After discovering the heavy rain outside, it became clear.
...
The scholar was a little moved.
Plum women are cold.
Recently......
Except for the day when Lord Xiao Xiao sent it, it had never seen Mei Nu.
As soon as Mr. Xiao Xiao left, Mei Nu also disappeared.
There was no intention of paying any attention to it.
did not expect......
In fact, Mei Nu is not as resistant to monsters as she appears on the outside.
It is a gentle monster.
...
"wait for me a while."
Xiao Xiao turned around and walked towards the house.
...
When he came out again, Xiao Xiao had a plate of snacks in his hand.
There is also a pot of tea and three teacups.
...
Xiao Xiao placed the snacks, teapot and teacup on the stone table.
"Try it and see."
He pushed the snack towards the scholar.
"They all like to eat."
Xiao Xiao glanced around and looked curiously at the monsters here.
"I thought it might suit your taste."
...
Yeah?
The scholar blinked.
Since Mr. Xiao Xiao said so...
It’s hard to refuse such kindness.
The scholar reached out and picked up a piece of snack.
...
Xiao Xiao refilled a cup with tea.
A curl of white mist rises.
...
"How about it?"
Xiao Xiao pushed the teacup in front of the scholar.
"Is it tasty?"
...
The scholar swallowed the snack in his mouth and nodded in surprise, "It's delicious."
There was a bit of surprise between his eyebrows.
...
"That's good."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
The tastes of monsters are basically quite similar.
"Try the tea again."
"My family runs a teahouse."
...
With the taste of snacks still lingering in his mouth, the scholar had great expectations for the tea.
The teacup is brought close to his mouth.
The strong aroma of tea hits your nose.
The mist obscured its eyes.
...
The scholar took a sip of tea.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Somewhat bitter.
After a few seconds, a faint hint of sweetness made his eyebrows relax.
...
"Like it?"
Xiao Xiao did not miss the change in the scholar's expression.
...
"like."
The scholar nodded.
Xiao Xiao smiled knowingly, "Would you rather have snacks or tea?"
"dessert."
The scholar is very honest.
Xiao Xiao laughed.
He also thought that scholars would prefer drinking tea.
really.
Demons cannot be judged by their appearance.
...
"Then you eat more."
Xiao Xiao pointed to the snacks on the table.
"You are welcome."
...
He added another cup of tea.
"Plum Girl."
he called softly.
"Would you like a cup of tea?"
...
A beautiful monster in the shape of a woman appears above the tree trunk.
She came to Xiao Xiao's side.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Xiao."
Plum Girl took the tea cup.
...
Xiao Xiao finally poured himself a cup of tea.
The rain pattered.
The fragrance of tea lingers.
There is a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
...
The scholar's painting was progressing well. After Xiao Xiao drank the tea, he stood up and left.
Now that everyone was out, Xiao Xiao went to the hospital again.
Mr. Zhao was very happy to see Xiao Xiao.
"Little friend Xiao Xiao."
The old man smiled happily.
Xiao Xiao noticed the flower baskets and fruit baskets that were not in the elderly ward before.
The old man's expression was a little complicated.
"They sent it."
"After all, the old man helped them so much."
"No."
The old man shook his head again.
"It was little friend Xiao Xiao who helped the old man and them such a big favor."
"I told them that the money was the old man's money from selling pearls."
"It's also the old man's last savings."
"Next time you are short of money, don't come to the old man."
After all, Mr. Zhao has been traveling all over the country for so many years.
Saw a lot.
He didn't tell his family the truth.
He was afraid that if they knew that the money this time was not the money he raised from selling pearls, but money borrowed from others, they would come to him again and again to ask him to borrow money.
Always keeping an eye on his pearls.
He even set his sights on little friend Xiao Xiao.
This is what he doesn't want to see.
Just think of it as a villain.
The old man sighed.
He also didn't want to think about his family like this.
It was just their performance in borrowing money this time that made him have such worries.
He won't give them the chance to do so.
It will not add any extra trouble to little friend Xiao Xiao.
...
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Mr. Zhao, let me peel an apple for you."
How the elderly handle things at home is their choice.
He respects the old man's choice.
...
"good."
Mr. Zhao was not polite to the young man in front of him.
He didn't talk about the previous topic again.
He had told the other party everything he needed to know, and he did not want to trouble the other party with his own affairs.
Things at home have finally come to an end.
He also breathed a big sigh of relief.
It was just the deserted ward that made him smile bitterly.
He doesn't blame his family.
It's because he's been away from home all year round...
