“That’s right! I want to thank you! You didn’t throw the painting away and even gave it to me. Of course, I have to thank you.” Xu Jiaojiao knew that the painting was not lost, so she felt relaxed now.
“You’re not angry?” Huo Siming looked puzzled.
“I’m not angry! Why should I be angry? Is it because I went through the trash can? I was the one who wanted to go through it. It’s not like you forced me.” Xu Jiaojiao had never been the kind of girl who fussed over these things.
“Alright, I’m impressed.” Huo Siming meant it. There was a smile in the corners of his eyes.
“So, where’s your painting?” Xu Jiaojiao asked as she took a step closer to him.
“No, don’t come near me.” Huo Siming looked as if he had seen a ghost.
“Why? Are you still angry?” Xu Jiaojiao moved closer.
“I told you not to come near me. You reek!” Huo Siming hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.
“Do I? Why don’t I smell it?” Xu Jiaojiao continued to walk forward.
This time, Huo Siming really could not take it anymore and ran away. Xu Jiaojiao chased him all the way to the back door of the mall before stopping. Then, she shouted, “Huo Siming, are you not angry anymore?”
Huo Siming stopped in his tracks. “I won’t stoop to a girl’s level.”
“So you’ve forgiven me?” Xu Jiaojiao shouted happily.
“Stop talking. I’ll take you to a shower first, then change your clothes.” Huo Siming really could not stand Xu Jiaojiao like this.
Half an hour later, Xu Jiaojiao came out of the bathroom. She was dressed in traditional Chinese clothes and looked like a classical beauty. Her hair was wet and dripped onto her traditional Chinese clothes, but her eyes were exceptionally clear.
When the lady from the escape room saw her like this, she quickly said, “You’re so beautiful! Come work for me! I’ll give you double the salary. Is that okay, Boss?” Then, she looked at Huo Siming.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have time to work. I have to paint.” Xu Jiaojiao refused. Even if she had time, Lil Bai probably would not agree!
“Then you can come here to play when you’re free.” Xu Jiaojiao was too embarrassed to refuse the young lady’s invitation, so she nodded. “Okay.”
The young lady was also a rather tactful person. After that, she went out to give the two of them some space to interact.
“Where’s the painting?” Xu Jiaojiao asked bluntly when she saw the young lady leave. She had become like this because of the painting. She had to get the painting.
Huo Siming could not help but shake his head. He really had no way to deal with someone as persistent as her. He went to the cabinet and took out a box.
The box was filled with paintings. Huo Siming walked over to Xu Jiaojiao with the paintings in his hands. “Do you like it that much?” Everyone else thought that it was bloody and terrifying, but she was the only one who liked it…
“That’s right! I’m good at drawing people, so I’m very unfamiliar with this kind of painting. I want to learn from it.” Xu Jiaojiao had been observing other people’s words recently. Mr. Sun said that her paintings were a little monotonous and lacked depth, so she wanted to learn more from other people’s paintings.
“Do you really want to learn?” Huo Siming asked tentatively.
“Yes, I really, really, really want to learn.” Xu Jiaojiao emphasized that she was talking about something very important.
“If you want to learn so much, I can teach you.” Huo Siming put on a detached air.
Xu Jiaojiao was smart and instantly reacted. “Did you draw this?”
“Yes!” Huo Siming was still as arrogant as ever. In truth, he was secretly delighted that his painting had been praised.
“You’re amazing. You know how to draw, and you even opened an escape room! You seem to know everything.” Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly flattered Huo Siming.
“Fine, I’ll teach you,” Huo Siming promised.
“But… I still have class in the afternoon.” Xu Jiaojiao felt like she had missed something.
“It’s okay. I’ll pick you up after class.” Huo Siming did not care. Since he had decided to teach her, he wanted to hurry up before he lost his patience.
Then, he asked Xu Jiaojiao for her WeChat contact. He was a little overbearing, making the unilateral decision regardless of whether Xu Jiaojiao agreed or not.
The sun was setting, and twilight was creeping over the city. Lights were coming on in the city, shading it in warm colors.
Xu Jiaojiao stood in a messy place. There were motorcycles and a lot of people, but she did not find it annoying. Instead, she was a little curious.
“What are you doing here?” Xu Jiaojiao did not understand why Huo Siming would come to such a place. She was holding the drink that Huo Siming had given her. It was cold and could cool her down.
“To ride, of course!” Huo Siming placed his hand on the railing.
“Are you an underground racer?” Although Xu Jiaojiao had never been here before, she had heard of it.
“That’s right!” Huo Siming shrugged.
“But this is illegal.” Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes widened.
“Pfft!” The person beside him could not help but laugh. “Master Ming, when did you change your tastes? She’s so dumb and cute..”
