Chapter 24 Muse

Jiang Jibai did not participate in the team-building activity in the afternoon.

Zheng Qianqian didn't even notify her. When she heard bursts of noise coming from behind her, she knew that the team-building activity had probably started.

When a person does not have a like-minded friend in a group life, he will find everything he does boring.

In fact, this also suited Jiang Jibai's wishes. It was a nightmare to accompany a few people who isolated her to participate in a bunch of boring games.

She might as well finish the painting here quietly.

She has become accustomed to isolating herself into an island, staying in her own quiet forest amidst the noisy crowd.

Gu Moyang's eyes were quickly attracted by the light pink on the other side of the river.

His eyes swept across the river. Jiang Jibai was wearing a light pink thin shirt today. The translucent and soft material looked like the wings of some kind of butterfly.

From a distance, it looked the same color as the marigold field behind him.

Her hair was tied up, revealing her snow-white neck.

She sat alone by the river, looking out of place in the noisy environment with lush greenery behind her.

Every time she looked up and moved, Gu Moyang's heart was like a bait thrown into the river, with a splash, and then slightly ripples.

He liked the way her eyes sparkled when she painted; he could see light coming out of those beautiful eyes.

He also likes Jiang Jibai's paintings. Her paintings have an amazing vitality. Whether it is the color or the brushwork, he knows that is the world in her eyes.

Just like herself, with an irresistible magic like the scorching sun, it struck his heart directly and illuminated the darkest part of his eyes.

It had been a long time since I had seen her new paintings. What did the world look like in Jiang Jibai's eyes? Gu Moyang felt a desire to go and see it.

Noticing the change in Gu Moyang's gaze, Xu Manjia followed his gaze and her face changed in shock. Why was she here?

She warned in a coquettish tone: "Mo Yang, hurry up and raise the rod. There's a fish biting the hook."

The hook was pulled up with a splash of water, but it was still empty.

Zhai Xi on the side just smiled and said, "Boss Gu, is there something on your mind?"

Gu Moyang's smile was very faint. He threw the hook back into the river: "Nothing, I just can't grasp the timing well."

"Really?" Zhai Xi had already seen through it and jokingly said, "I think Mr. Gu isn't thinking about the fish in the river, but the mermaid."

Gu Moyang unconsciously looked towards the other side of the river and smiled lightly.

Xu Jiaman smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhai Xi and Gu Moyang. "Boss Zhai, you've been fishing all morning. Why don't we go get something to eat? Boss Ji just prepared the fish you caught and is grilling them. They're very fresh."

"Okay." Zhai Xi glanced at Gu Moyang and joked, "Let's go eat something first and then go fishing. Let's see if we can eat the fish that Mr. Gu caught today."

Gu Moyang: "Then I have to pay my respects to the river god and see if he would be so kind as to give me some fish to eat."

In fact, Gu Moyang didn’t care whether he could catch fish or not. As long as Zhai Xi was happy fishing, his goal was achieved.

With that, Zhai Xi smiled and left.

"You go over there and keep Mr. Zhai company first. I'll go for a walk on the other side." Gu Moyang washed his hands, put down his shirt, and buttoned his cufflinks.

Xu Jiaman was stunned. She naturally knew what Gu Moyang was doing on the other side.

The big blocks of color have been laid out, and the next step is to slowly shape the details.

The theme of the painting is the marigold field on the other side of the river. The sun shines down obliquely, the sky is clear in the distance, the clouds are rolling, and a few low houses in the distance serve as embellishment. The whole picture is beautiful and peaceful.

The people fishing by the river were also included in her painting, but Jiang Jibai only painted one and automatically ignored the other.

The calm and melodious music that came to my ears was "Valder Fieldes".

I was found on the ground by the fountain a valder fields and was almost dry.

Lying in the sun after I had tried.

Lying in the sun by the side.

When the second chorus of the song sounded, I heard the rustling of grass and trees.

Yu Guangzhong felt someone coming towards him. Jiang Jibai looked up and fell into a pair of eyes that were deeper than the surface of the river.

Gu Moyang stood beside her, his eyes sliding across her face and finally stopping on her tablet.

I don’t know if it was Jiang Jibai’s illusion, but the moment he saw his own picture, Jiang Jibai seemed to see a few lights shining into his eyes.

Then a tall figure squatted down beside her, and the mixed scent of grass and a hint of tobacco invaded her nose.

She could feel the heat radiating from Gu Moyang's body.

"I like the painting very much." Gu Moyang tilted his head and said to her.

Jiang Jibai was still wearing headphones, but Gu Moyang was very close to her, so she could hear the words flowing into her ears along with the music.

He didn't say the painting was nice or beautiful, but rather that he liked it very much.

Jiang Jibai's heart moved uncontrollably, and his fingers gripping the tablet tightened.

But when he thought of the intimate behavior he had just shown with Xu Manjia while fishing on the other side of the river, Jiang Jibai felt that it seemed a little ridiculous that his heart was disturbed by his words.

And he was so close to her that it was easy for people to misunderstand.

Jiang Jibai looked at the gently flowing lake, took off his headphones, and said in a nonchalant tone: "It's an honor for me that Mr. Gu likes my paintings."

Gu Moyang expected her to say such a thing, so he lowered his head and chuckled to himself, still keeping a half-squatting position, watching her draw.

He was very close, so close that Jiang Jibai could clearly see the small mole under his right eyelash, hidden in the faint shadow of his eyelashes, like a full moon in the shadow of a tree at night.

Jiang Jibai didn't know what he was doing.

The uncontrollable memories rushed into her mind, following the direction of the river, and played in her mind one by one.

The first semester of her junior year was when she and Gu Moyang were most inseparable.

She rented a room near the school without telling her family. One reason was that the dormitory was too small and there was no place to store her various painting supplies. Another reason was of course because of Gu Moyang.

At that time, they had just tasted the forbidden fruit and wanted to stick together every day. Going out to get a room was not a solution.

They spent many weekends in that rented house.

Gu Moyang liked watching her draw. He liked to put her on his lap, hug her from behind, and rest his head on her shoulder to watch, in a perfect posture.

While holding Gu Moyang, her hands and mouth started to become dishonest, and the final result was that she would either draw on the bed or on the sofa.

When the most absurd moments came, he would take her with him to do the paintings. Now her heart trembles when she thinks of those scenes.

She also didn't expect that a person who looked calm and cool could be so crazy when doing that.

Jiang Jibai often feels more inspired after finishing something.

Gu Moyang shamelessly said that he was her muse, but Jiang Jibai did not refute.

At that time, Gu Moyang was her muse, the muse of inspiration.

After living together, Gu Moyang quickly figured out all her preferences and taboos. He would take care of her in every detail of her life, and she didn't have to worry about three meals a day.

At that time, every morning when she woke up with Gu Moyang, she would be woken up by his kiss. He would prepare breakfast in advance and carry her to eat.

In front of him, she could degenerate into an embryo and be pampered by him.

When she was in the deepest love, Gu Moyang broke up with her.

So much so that every time she thought of those sweet days after the breakup, she would always deceive herself that she was once deeply loved by Gu Moyang.

Now Gu Moyang has given her the answer, it was just a joke, and she was the only one who took it seriously.
