103 General, are you really a gentleman? (2/2)

Jun Hua picks the brush and dabbed it on the paint. In but a moment, the landscape of the areas where they stay is pictured on the canvas. Soujin looks towards it with interest, but Jun Hua concentration is fully on the painting. She doesn't have any spare energy to look at the man before her.

The carriages speed is not slow, but it's not really quick too. Soujin pick the smooth road, so he can see the girl painting. From the time he looks at the map, he knows that this girl has some other talent. Strategy, painting, what else? Somehow he wants to know more about her.

Jun Hua finished the painting. The bare land and the residue of the smokes are painted clearly. She turns towards Soujin as if saying, are you satisfied?

Soujin peered towards the painting as he thought about some matters inside his mind. The picture she had shown him now clearly excelled in the details, especially things that was usually left behind. She must have painted pictures for a long time to produce such good painting.

”You're a talented painter. If you didn't pick the music at that time, maybe I would have another chance to see your painting.”

”You won't,” Jun Hua answered simply. She never had planned to paint in front of other people. From the time she comes to know her talent in painting, she never wants anyone to know, but this man had already found out about it and there's nothing she could do.

”You won't let anyone know?”

Jun Hua smiled. ”If a lady has both beauty and talent, what do you think would happen to her?”

She knows that someone who's too perfect would have many enemies. If she had enough power, then she wouldn't afraid, but she did not. The Jun family was declining and only through her trick can they stand tall again. Should she expose to the world of her real talent, they would surely target her even more.

When that happens, she would not have any peace anymore. She's not afraid when they slight her and look down at her. She's more worried if they are overestimating her. It's better to be seen as useless when she doesn't have enough power to stand against her enemy.

”Your brother has it rough,” Soujin commented. To protect his sister, he had to pose in front and bear the burden. The two of them are truly amazing.

”Why are you so adamant to meet me?”

”It's because you're more expressive than your brother. And your face too…”

SLAP!

”It's impolite to try to take off a veil of a lady, General Soujin,” Jun Hua glared. ”Are you really a gentleman?”

Soujin retracted his hand that's being slapped away by Jun Hua. His face didn't contain any anger as he smiled. What he thought about this girl is only how interesting she is and he can get his small revenge later.

He picks the painting. ”Thank you for the gift.”

Only when Soujin has gone out from the carriage did Jun Hua released her breath. That was a dangerous one and she doesn't want that man to see her face anymore. What wanting to meet her because of her face? It's obvious he comes to assess her in terms of painting.

As for Jun Min lack of expression? The face mask is the culprit... Maybe she needs to train how to be expressive when wearing it.
