Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Towards the end of the exhibition, Zi Yi went to find Dou Xiangling and inford her of her departure before she left together with Senior Bai and the rest.
Looking at the few people who left, Dou Zerui standing beside Dou Jingning and Dou Xiaoyong said, “I didn’t expect Yiyi to be favored by Senior Bai.”
Dou Xiaoyong shot him a glance and said, “We know what you want to say. Don’t say stuff like she has changed for the better.”
Dou Zerui raised both hands and said, “It’s normal not to believe her. In any case, she was indeed an asshole in the past.”
He seed to have recalled sothing and added on. “Second Uncle, weren’t you curious who created the scene in this exhibition? In fact, it was Yiyi.”
“Her?” Dou Xiaoyong was very surprised.
“Yes,” Dou Zerui said in all seriousness. “If not for the fact I know she’s our cousin, I would have even thought soone had replaced her.”
Dou Jingning and Dou Xiaoyong glanced at each other and remained silent.
…
Just as Zi Yi, and the group entered the Bai Family’s courtyard, Senior Bai’s son ca out and greeted them. Senior Bai said, “Zihang, go and prepare all my painting tools.”
Bai Zihang did not even have a chance to greet them before he had been chased away to bring out the painting tools.
After Senior Bai led them to his living room, he said to Zi Yi, “Little friend, draw sothing you’re best at later. After you’re done, we’ll give you so pointers, and this way, we can also check your current level.”
Zi Yi did not seem to have sothing she was best at. However, she nodded her head under the attention of the few elders.
Very soon, Bai Zihang had brought over all of Senior Bai’s painting tools.
Zi Yi ca to the table, thought for a mont, and suddenly thought of those fad flowers in Senior Bai’s residence. She felt that the erald orchid was very beautiful and so, she lifted the brush and began to paint.
Four old n stood at the opposite side while craning their necks.
“Eh, is Yiyi painting an orchid?”
“It’s pretty good. The tracing is done well.”
“The leaves and veins are distinct and it gives off a good feeling.”
“Did you feel a gust of wind blowing past the petals?”
“Oh! Isn’t this the erald orchid in my courtyard?”
…
While they were talking, the room was enveloped in a sudden silence.
What remained were their eyes widening due to shock.
After Zi Yi was done, she placed the brush aside and admired the erald orchid she had painted. With a nod, she said, “As expected, that erald orchid is nice.”
Following that, she asked Senior Bai, “Where did you purchase that potted erald orchid?”
She intended to get a few pots to decorate her villa.
Senior Bai suddenly recovered his senses and his heart was beating like a drum. He was so excited that his cheeks beca flushed. As for the orchid, it was not of the greatest importance to him right now. “Little friend, if you like that potted orchid, I’ll give it to you.”
The other three seniors and Bai Zihang looked at Senior Bai with a surprised expression.
It had to be known that the orchid was planted by him with great care.
Zi Yi glanced at their expressions and seed to have guessed sothing. “A good person doesn’t take advantage of others.”
“Haha, it’s alright, no worries.” Senior Bai restrained his smile and said generously, “If you can draw an even more complex painting than this, not to ntion that pot of erald orchid, you can take whatever flower you like.”
Zi Yi was sowhat tempted.
“What should I draw?”
“Fad mountains in Sichuan, flowers, birds, insects, fish or any types of living beings will do too.”
Zi Yi nodded and got Bai Zihang to put away the painting she had completed, then spread out another larger piece of rice paper. “Then I’ll paint a place where I have been too.”
Imdiately after, she moved the brush.
