Chapter 390 - She was Still Young (1/2)

”No. I just like it.” Xia Ruoxin's dotted gently on the paper with her brush, pulled, and turned; and a circle emerged.

Liking could also become a hobby which could turn into motivation. The master was satisfied with her student's reply. She couldn't help herself from taking another look at her student—the one nicknamed 'Beauty' by the other students.

She truly had outstanding looks. Although she was not wearing any thick makeup, she looked refreshing like the tender grass in March accompanied by a flowery fragrant. She had nice features which were a natural gift.

Especially her smile—it was gentle like the daughter of an eminent family from an ancient time, with exceptionally good upbringing. Once one got closer to her, one would know that she was an extremely easygoing and down-to-earth person. She would crack jokes with others, bring something that she made, and share with everyone. Beauty now had another nickname—Masterchef because the food she made was delicious.

A young man walked over and produced a rose from behind him like magic.

”Sister Ruoxin, this is for you.”

He held the rose before her with both hands.

”For me?” Xia Ruoxin blinked her eyes. Why was he giving her a flower out of the blue?

”Yes, yes.” The young man smiled cheekily. ”I plucked it from the side of the road. It didn't cost me anything.” Of course, it hadn't cost him any money because he had climbed over a wall and, in the process, gotten pricked by the thorns. He was almost bitten by stray dogs. Luckily, he escaped quickly enough. Otherwise, he might be taking a rabies vaccination now.

”Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin accepted the flower and placed it on her desk. It smelled fresh and pleasant. It was no wonder that many people liked flowers; flowers could cheer and lighten a person's mood.

The young man's tensed expression finally loosened up. However, his clasped fingers began to twine around each other. Oh gosh, Beauty had accepted his flower. Was it enough to prove that she had also accepted him?

”Sister Ruoxin, do you like the flower?” the young man asked cautiously. In fact, he had intended to ask 'do you like me?' too. However, he was too embarrassed. That's why he didn't.

Liking a flower didn't mean that she had indirectly told him she liked him.

”Mmm, I like it.” Xia Ruoxin kept the flower properly. ”My daughter likes roses, too.”

Suddenly, as though lightning has struck from the sky, the young man was burnt. His heart had been sliced apart, kneaded, and torn. He sighed pitifully as he held his bleeding heart.

”Sister Ruoxin, you… you have a daughter?”

”Oh, yes.” Xia Ruoxin put the flower on her desk, and then she reached out and rubbed the young man's head. He was only fifteen years old, ten years younger than her. In her eyes, he was only a child.

”My daughter is three years old. She's studying in a kindergarten not far away from here. I'll bring her here when there's time.”

The young man sniffled as though he had lost his first love. However, he didn't seem very sad because there was a Little Beauty.

”Sister Ruoxin, you should bring her with you soon.” Stars shimmered in the young man's eyes. What a splendid occasion it would be to have both the Big Beauty and Little Beauty here. He couldn't wait.

”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin organized the pieces of paper on the desk and tidied up the studio. Right at this moment, sunlight shone on her. She looked warm and inviting. When she was younger, many had had the urge to fall for her.

A child would always have dreams which need not be crushed. Their dreams could be replaced with other things.

Xia Ruoxin's life had been plentiful. In fact, she was so busy she didn't have time. She spent her days in the art studio. After her classes ended, she would pick her daughter up from the kindergarten. As a doctor by profession, Gao Yi could have a heavy workload at times; and he could barely move after a few night shifts.
