129 Painting 2 (1/2)
The carriage soon stopped and Soujin walked outside first. He offered his hand to help Jun Hua, but the little girl slapped his hand once again, refusing this annoying general help.
Jun Hua looks around. This place is outside the capital, near Nanglong residence. The view she could see from this place cannot be described as mere beautiful. The forest that surrounded the area below this small hill, the mountain on the horizon, this place is really beautiful. But, Jun Hua eyes widened when she remembered that misty mountain and forest, if this place were to be covered in mist, shouldn't the view is similar?
Soujin looks at the girl. ”Do you want to paint it?”
”Okay… Do you like to come here?”
”Me? Not really, I found this place by coincidence,” Soujin answered. ”When I was little, I often play around and sneaked out from my grandfather training. This is one of the places I used to hide.”
Jun Hua nodded. Might be a coincidence, after all, there are a lot of view from top of mountains. She looks at that mountain and then to the side, where a wall is standing there.
”That was the Southeast border?” Jun Hua understands. She did see the similar view, coming from another angle. That border was the place she first saw the beautiful view and she never forgets it.
”You're right. I thought girls don't have any sense of direction?”
”…”
Jun Hua doesn't know what kind of girl did he compare her with, but she knows that she doesn't want to talk with him again or she will surely get angry. Taking the canvas and brush, Jun Hua started to paint on top of that hill.
Soujin stared by the side. He looks at the visage of this little girl. She is so small, yet so serious like she has so many things to think. He looks at the canvas where the forest and mountain soon come into view. It seems he likes the painting from this girl very much. It looks really alive and not merely a painting.
Jun Hua finished after some time. She stared at Soujin. ”Happy with what you see?”
”The painting is beautiful,” Soujin answered. ”Let me take you to meet with your brother's friends. You can stay behind me and wear this.”
He put a hat with a veil around it making it impossible to see who the one is inside. Jun Hua knows that there is indeed such a veil, but does it necessary for her to wear one? Does the usual one that covered her face is enough?
”Your attractive body might invite numerous troubles ahead. I don't want to get mixed up in it.”
Although that is what Soujin said, doesn't his face is even more deadly? Jun Hua glared at him behind the veil, but she still followed him to walk on the street. Soujin is famous which makes people recognize him right away, but they are wondering, who is the girl beside him? Jun Hua ignored them as she walks to Restaurant Han Yan.
When she looks at that name, it seems this is the only place where this man goes. She had never seen him eat in other restaurant other than this one. Soujin led her inside and walk straight to the usual place.
Yan and Ming Hui are there, drinking some wine. They turned when Soujin come inside.
”Oh, Soujin you've come…” Yan cannot continue his sentence because he noticed a lady behind Soujin. He cannot see her face from the veil, but from her movement and all, he knows that it is a girl, and probably, a pretty one at that.
