Chapter 388 - She would Use a Lifetime to Repay Him (2/2)

”It'll be fine.” Again, Gao Yi took the paintings done by Xia Ruoxin. His smile had been affectionate as though it had been basking under the warm sun, soundlessly and smooth.

”This business about painting actually needs talent. You are not bad at it. You should go to school and study. A big school may not be possible, but a small class will be sufficient. There are many small-scaled painting classes locally, and their foundation requirements are not high, but what you need is to understand. Your paintings, in this respect, must fit the requirements.”

When Xia Ruoxin wanted to say something, Gao Yi proceeded to interrupt her and dispel her doubts. ”This can be considered as your dream. Don't you want to fulfill it?”

”Of course.” Xia Ruoxin had many dreams. However, all these years of hardships had put them to a stop. Now, all she wanted to do was to find a nice-paying job with her own income. Gao Yi had been paying for all the expenses, and she felt bad. Even though he always said he didn't mind, she still felt sorry.

She bit her lip. Needless to say, Gao Yi's suggestion had indeed moved her. Moreover, the condition of one of her hands had made it tough for her to find a suitable job. She couldn't possibly go back to work as a mover because that kind of work was not meant for a woman. The money wasn't that great, too.

If she could really learn to paint, she could conduct small painting classes for children once she had graduated. She knew that there were numerous classes like that, and they had been doing well.

If only she could do that, it would be great.

”Okay, let's stop thinking about it.” Gao Yi got up. He came in front of Xia Ruoxin and squatted to look her in the eyes. ”Ruoxin, you can trust me. I'm not a stranger to you.”

”I…” Xia Ruoxin opened her mouth. She felt stupid, not knowing what to say.

She had already owed him so much. How was she going to repay him? She had spent over a decade to repay the Xia family and used half her life to repay Chu Lui. However, she had owed Gao Yi so much more. How was she going to repay him?

”What were you thinking?” Gao Yi suddenly moved closer. His nose was almost touching her face. He was so close that she could count the number of eyelashes and see her own reflections with her naturally curved lips in his eyes.

I see you with my eyes, but what do you see with yours?

She was stunned and embarrassed. She knew what he wanted, but she refused to give him an answer. Her evasion caused the light in Gao Yi's eyes to dim slightly. Then, he got closer as though nothing had happened.

”Ruoxin, what is it that's truly on your mind?” he asked again.

”I was thinking…” Xia Ruoxin lowered her eyes. When she looked up again, her eyes met Gao Yi's with such simplicity. ”I was thinking… I already owed you so much. How am I to repay you? I have repaid the others; the ones that I owed and those that I don't. I could repay them all. However, I still owe you so much that they have piled up.”

”You can use a lifetime to repay me.” Gao Yi reached out and embraced her. Then, he pressed her head gently onto his shoulders. This was a little piece of heaven for Rainy and for her.
