“sister-in-law is really amazing!” Ji Ning agreed and nodded her head vigorously, her eyes filled with pride.

“It’s Xiao Mo’s painting that’s good. I merely added a few strokes on his painting,” Shen Hanxing did not take credit for it. She smiled as she stroked the two young ladies’ heads. Then, she turned to look at Ji Mo. “At such a young age, you shouldn’t be so bitter and vengeful. Even if the sky falls, you don’t

need to hold it up. Just live as well as you can.”

She was clearly not even twenty years old yet and was considered a child in the eyes of many people. However, when she said these words, it did not seem ridiculous. Instead, it was warm and reliable. It was as if as long as she was there, the sky would not fall.

“Next time when we go to Maestro Lin Ran’s house, show this painting to them.”

Ji Mo’s hand that was holding the canvas was slightly retracted. His knuckles were white and his gaze fell on the canvas for a long time. After a while, he nodded gently. “Alright, I’ll listen to you, Sister-in-law.”

Many, many years later, the young painter who had shed his gloomy and lonely self stood on the grand podium, holding a golden trophy in his hand. He gave his acceptance speech on the stage. Many people invited him to admire the paintings, many also wanted to buy and analyze his paintings.

However, they did not know that his favorite painting was not a famous painting that had disappeared without a trace, nor was it a work that had won numerous awards for him.

His favorite painting, the one that he treasured the most, the one he repeatedly wiped and clean, was a painting done by him when he was young. That painting was amateurish and insidious, yet it was given a new life with just a few strokes from someone.

“Sister Hanxing, I didn’t know that you could draw so well.” Han Yin had always been the best at being obedient. She smiled with a fawning expression, “Can you draw me a painting too?”

“You… Why do you want everything?” Shen Hanxing’s face was filled with helplessness and affection. “If you want me to draw you one, then study hard when you return to school. Once I’m satisfied with your exam results, I’ll draw for you.”

“Okay then, it’s a deal!” Han Yin wasn’t afraid at all. She stuck out her pinky. “Sister Hanxing, let’s pinky swear it. Otherwise, liar, liar, pants on fire!”

Ji Ning secretly raised her eyes and looked at the interlocking of their pinkies. She was a little envious. She also wanted her sister-in-law to draw one especially…especially for her. However, she tried her best to open her mouth, but she couldn’t muster the courage to open it. In the end, she could only

lower her head dejectedly. The tip of her nose was sore, and her eyes were filled with mist.

She was really useless. Why did she want to cry again? Even she felt disgusted by herself for being such a timid crybaby. In the past, when she was bullied and ridiculed by others, or when she was locked up in a pigsty and forced to work every day without food or clothing, she could try her best to control

her tears. She would hide in a place where no one was around before crying.

But now that she had a sister-in-law who cared about her, she felt like she loved to cry even more.

“Does Xiao Ning want it too?”

At that moment, a familiar palm landed on the top of her hair with a pleasant smell. The sister-in-law whom she longed for and relied on smiled at her. When Shen Hanxing saw the tears on Ji Ning’s face, she was stunned for a moment. Then, Shen Hanxing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Why are

you crying again? Do you want to draw? Then I will draw one for you too, okay?”

How could there be such a good person in this world? Such a good person had even become her sister-in-law!

It was unknown when the setting sun had completely sunk into the horizon. The sky had darkened, and the studio had also sunk into darkness. However, when Shen Hanxing stood there, it was as though she could light up the entire room. The darkness that had once made her extremely afraid had also

become a normal change of light to her. It no longer made her scream and lose her composure.

“Sister-in-law.”

Ji Ning opened her mouth and choked on her sobs. The tears that she had held back with much difficulty rolled down her cheeks. However, she couldn’t care less about her tears. Strong emotions surged in her heart, causing her to take a step forward. She asked anxiously, “Then what can I give you,

Sister-in-law? What can I do for you?”

How could she repay this ray of light in her life? How could she repay the sun that had lit up her entire world?

The little girl’s face was thin, and when she cried, she was extremely quiet. She looked especially adorable. She was not the only one, the others also quietly pricked up their ears and focused their attention on Shen Hanxing, who was surrounded in the middle.

Shen Hanxing was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled. “If you really want to do something for me… Don’t cry anymore.” Her tone was gentle, it was as though she was talking about something very ordinary. “A girl’s tears are very precious. Don’t cry anymore. You must live a happy life.”

Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly opened her mouth and cried out loud.

She had never cried so heartbreakingly. She cried without restraint, as though she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered since she was young.
