Chapter 646 - What Could She Do? (1/2)

”Oh, it's you. Why aren't you sleeping?” She continued to draw while his hands were still massaging Xia Ruoxin's shoulders; the muscles in her body were still slightly tensed up.

”The light was still on in the living room so I came out to take a look. Turns out you're still here.” Gao Yi smiled like the way he used to, just that his line of sight darkened for a bit. They were different from before.

”I'm rushing my work. I owe quite a few of them.” Xia Ruoxin shook the pencil in her hand and drew a few more paintings. If not, she would feel guilty for taking her salary.

”You're still the same. You never let yourself go for a while.” Gao Yi extended his hand and placed it on the canvas on her knee. He looked at the unfinished painting on the canvas; her art skills were better than before.

She really had potential in this, and she had found a job that was suited for her.

Just that, he still felt a bit upset deep down in his heart. He placed the canvas back in Xia Ruoxin's lap. His smile was obviously there, but why did it seem like a tired kind of smile?

Actually, Xia Ruoxin felt the same way; she felt a little awkward.

Xia Ruoxin put her entire mind into painting, but it seemed as if she still could not focus; even the lines she drew were curved and haphazardly done. That night, she did not finish a single painting even though she did it for almost the whole night.

…

Wei Lan always had something to say, but it was difficult for her to do so.

”Auntie, is there something wrong?” Xia Ruoxin sat down and pulled Wei Lan with her. It seemed as if Wei Lan had something troubling her lately, and it was serious to the point where she was getting heaty. Xia Ruoxin had made chrysanthemum tea for her to drink.

However, if she continued like this, even if Xia Ruoxin made a whole jar of chrysanthemum tea; it would not cure Wei Lan's anxiety. Actually, she had even wanted to ask Gao Yi if this was not even a disease, but it was because she was reaching menopause.

In actual fact, Wei Lan did not know what to say to Xia Ruoxin either.

She held Xia Ruoxin's hands tightly and asked, ”Ruoxin, do you think Xiao Yi is useless?”

Xia Ruoxin was stunned. Useless? Whoever she found useless, it would never be Gao Yi. ”Auntie, you must be kidding.” She lowered her eyes and still had the beautiful smile on her face which showed her sincerity with no lies. ”I will never find him useless.

”He had never seen me in that way so why would I do it to him?

”Even if he's married, divorced, or a drug addict; it doesn't matter. As long as he is Gao Yi, as long as he doesn't tell me to leave, I will always, always be here for him. Even if he's crazy, stupid, or handicapped; I will still be here.”

She held her hand really tightly. She would do what she said.

The things Gao Yi did for her, she would remember forever; and she could never repay him in this life. How could she, as someone so desolate, find other people useless?

”That's good.” Wei Lan heaved a sigh of relief. ”I know Xiao Yi really well. He has a really strong sense of pride; after something like this, I'm worried that he would just give up on himself. Luckily, you're here. Luckily.”

Xia Ruoxin patted Wei Lan's hand. ”Auntie, don't think too much. We can't change the past so we can only accept the present and do our best for the future. I believe.” She picked up her cup, and there was the faint scent of chrysanthemum emerging from it.

”I believe, Gao Yi will definitely go back to his usual self.” That was because he was Gao Yi; he was like a warm breeze, like the morning sun.
