4 Crazy or in Love? (2/2)

Su Yichen nods his head. ”I made something for you.”

He runs out of his mother's embrace and comes back with a piece of paper.

Su Lian takes the paper from her son. It's a drawing of the both of them. Although it can't be called a work of art, it is quite lovely and beyond what a three year old should be able to do.

”My little baby's an artist.” She ruffles his hair and holds him in her arms. ”I'm a grown woman and I can't even draw like this”

Su Lian sighs, thinking back to the past again.

'I guess he got his talent from his father.'

China

In the basement of a beautiful, white villa, a handsome young man with a chilling expression has all his attention focused on the canvas infront of him. He puts down his brush after he makes the final stroke on his painting.

Taking a step back he stares long and hard at the piece of artwork that he has just completed. It's a portrait, a portrait of a stunning young woman who looks no older than nineteen.

She has a tiny button nose, long black hair, pouty red lips and a pair of mesmerizing green eyes with hints of golden specks around her irises.

The painting looks life-like and breathtaking.

This is not the only potrait of her in the room. There are several others hung on the walls all across.

The entire room is simply a gallery of her image. Different clothes, different hairstyles, different expressions... but they're all her.

He steps away from it, leaving it to dry and walks over to another painting of her. She has on a baggy sweater and her hair in a loose ponytail. She's standing in front of a tree without a hint of makeup on.

She still looks beautiful. She'd look beautiful no matter what she wore. He traces the outline of her face with his fingers. His movements are extremely gentle and slow as if afraid that the painting will crumble under his touch.

'I wonder, do you still look same.'

Housekeeper Mu sighs as he stares at the young man deep in thought. He's been like this ever since the young lady left four years ago.

A knock on the door pulls his attention back and he goes outside to attend to the person knocking.

The room is a forbidden zone, other than he and his master, no one else is allowed inside.
