This story is about a straight-shooting, quick-witted, talented young artist who accidentally falls for her
Chapter 29, The 29th Ray of Light: "She got flirted with? A kiss."...
With a clear mind, Song Xingyun pulled her hand back, and even leaned back against the car door on her side. "It was clearly you, boss, who reached your hand out first. I touched it by accident! Yes, by accident."
She was talking nonsense because she couldn't explain the momentary blankness in her mind.
Yu Mushang had already withdrawn his hand, and now he was holding it with his arms crossed in front of his chest, as if he thought that this would slow down the speed at which the sensation in front of him would slip away.
He spoke slowly, trying to calm his racing heart with each word, "I just want my bottled water back."
Song Xingyun: ?
"But...but I've already drunk it." He actually wants it back?
Yu Mushang's eyelashes trembled. "Oh, I'm afraid you'll deny drinking my water later and won't compensate me."
Song Xingyun never expected such childish words to come out of his mouth. "Don't worry, I will not only compensate you, but also add some compensation for emotional distress. I will feed you myself later."
It has become "you" again.
But personally? Yu Mushang couldn't help but imagine it, and finally said in a hoarse voice, "No need."
Song Xingyun's gaze never left his face, so she naturally noticed his subtle change. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she finally separated herself from the car door, leaning closer to examine him. "Hiss... Boss, are you shy?"
Yu Mushang: ?
"Ha, nonsense." He even turned his head directly towards the car window when he responded to this.
He was really shy!
Song Xingyun confirmed this amusing fact, and seeing that he wouldn't admit it, she dared to tease him, "Ah~ so I was mistaken. Since the boss isn't shy, then, how about letting me feed him?"
Before he could refuse again, she boldly mimicked his domineering manner, "It's settled then. Please cooperate with my work, boss. Don't forget, I'm your personal assistant, and this is what I should do."
It cannot be refused, and the reasons are justified.
Yu Mushang's Adam's apple bobbed, and he remained silent. He felt like he had shot himself in the foot; damn it, he was actually starting to look forward to it.
Awkwardness is like a spring; the weaker you are, the stronger it becomes.
Song Xingyun re-examined the camera's image. No matter how many times she looked at Yu Mushang's photo, her gaze would always linger on it. "So beautiful." After saying that, she reflexively looked up at the man, "I'm praising the dog."
Yu Mushang: ?
"When did I say I wanted to know?" he thought to himself. He should have known better than to bring those two in the back row!
Song Xingyun had become quite adept at calling her boss a dog without batting an eye.
She vowed that if Yu Mushang ever saw this, she would definitely take the initiative to admit her mistake!
Thinking of this, she felt more relaxed. "I just... took the initiative to confess."
Speaking of explanations, this reminded Yu Mushang of another matter: "Assistant Song's initiative was not adequate."
Song Xingyun was still fiddling with the camera, head down. "Hmm?"
The next second, she heard the man next to her start bringing up old grievances again, "It seems that Assistant Song hasn't explained clearly what happened last time when she drew a nude man." When she said "last time," it actually just happened yesterday, which is why she accidentally splashed him with water, even drenching him in the bathroom.
The camera was on her lap, the lens pointed directly at her. Hearing Yu Mushang's words, she genuinely pressed the shutter button by mistake, capturing her shocked expression. "I don't remember! You must be mistaken." He's really digging up a big grudge!
Song Xingyun recalled her embarrassing escape yesterday, and today she didn't mind experiencing a bout of dementia.
But this time, Mu Shang wasn't so easily fooled. "Just what kind of naked man would make Assistant Song lie?"
Song Xingyun blushed at his words. "No, how did you know that the drawing on the paper was of a nude..." Before she could finish her sentence, she covered her mouth, having inadvertently confessed.
Yu Mushang snorted coldly, "Didn't Assistant Song say she didn't remember? You lied again?" She actually lied twice for that naked man.
The man touched the smart white cane beside him. "It has the function of converting images into descriptions. If Assistant Song wants to stay in this position, she still needs to work on these product functions and use the time she would spend drawing nude men."
What a sarcastic tone! At least she wasn't fired.
Song Xingyun then recalled the task he had mentioned when he handed her the camera before leaving, which included updating the smart cane.
Good heavens, is this generation of gadgets already this amazing? No wonder she has been unable to hide from anyone all this time, and even suspected more than once that this person had developed supernatural powers. It turns out it was the smart cane that helped her.
"Oh, you mean that? I just drew it randomly. It's normal for art students to practice figure drawing casually." What she said wasn't wrong, except that the figure was based on him, and his head and facial features were added on top.
Believing that telling only half the truth would make it more authentic, she took a deep breath and added, "As for why I said it was a dog... it's just that the boss appeared so suddenly that I was a little embarrassed and just blurted it out. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied."
Yu Mushang accepted the explanation, but then he pointed out, "Assistant Song said 'I shouldn't have lied,' not 'I won't lie anymore.' Could he be leaving himself an escape route?"
Song Xingyun: !!!
This man is incredibly clever; he's even unearthed her subconscious. And this is without the aid of sight; if he could see, she would be utterly mortified.
Song Xingyun pouted, "I won't lie anymore." She immediately changed her tune. Thinking back, she realized that she had only lied about things that she had unintentionally taken advantage of him. How shameful!
Because of these little incidents, the two practically "chatted" the whole way, and time slipped away. The car stopped at the main entrance of Beishan Park, and the two people and two dogs got out one after the other.
They arrived early, and the elderly people passing by were all exercising in the park early in the morning. The suburbs have pleasant scenery and fresh air, and many elderly people have bought retirement communities in the suburbs after retirement. The community is right across from Beishan Park.
"What a handsome young man!"
"They're such a perfect match. I've always said they should come out more often and see young people dating."
The two, both easily embarrassed, immediately blushed. Song Xingyun, the one with normal vision, raised her hands to her chest when she met the kind gazes of the elderly couple, saying, "We're not..."
The elderly folks, realizing the girl had overheard them, laughed even more warmly. "The young lady is so pretty. These days, young people are just shy. We old folks have been there, we know what we're doing!"
As the group of elderly people walked away, talking, Song Xingyun's lips twitched a few times, and she roared inwardly, "No! You don't understand!"
On the other hand, Yu Mushang had already adjusted his mindset. "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Song Xingyun's attention was entirely on the elderly couple, and she didn't know if Yu Mushang had thought anything of it. Seeing that his expression was normal, her embarrassment subsided a little. "Let's go! Of course we'll go!"
She was determined to avoid the group of elderly people, lest she get pregnant again.
Song Xingyun led Yu Mushang towards the sunflower field. The closer they got, the more excited she became, even humming a song softly. It was the first time Yu Mushang had ever heard her hum, and it sounded much better than Ying Qi's tone-deaf singing. "So happy?"
Song Xingyun was discovered, so she closed her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Mmm."
Yu Mushang paused for a few seconds and then asked, "You like sunflowers that much?"
Song Xingyun, who had been looking down at her feet, suddenly looked up at him. "You have such a good memory." She hadn't expected him to remember what she had casually said that morning; she wasn't even sure if he had heard her at the time.
Yu Mushang walked beside her, exuding an air of arrogance. "I'm not Assistant Song, who needs to be reminded of what happened yesterday."
Song Xingyun: ...
Can she be mute?
Obviously not, because Yu Mushang didn't give him a chance; he asked another question, "Why do you like it?"
Song Xingyun thought about it seriously this time, trying to think it through. "Because in my heart it is the most vibrant, the most resilient, and the most energetic. Among so many flowers, only it follows the sun tirelessly. Living towards the sun has always been my life motto."
Light was so important to her that she joked in a relaxed manner, "I might have been a sunflower in my past life."
"Growing towards the sun," even Yu Mushang could feel the sincerity in her words when he heard them, and he had to admit that the two of them were so similar. Were they really destined to be together?
He jokingly followed her lead, saying, "Well, you've become a sunflower spirit now."
Song Xingyun retorted childishly, "Why not say I became an immortal?"
Yu Mushang smiled and, led by Bai Sui, walked half a step faster than her, leaving her behind, but still urging her, "Hurry up, Sunflower Fairy."
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!
Because of his words, the little figure in Song Xingyun's mind let out a long series of screams.
As Song Xingyun watched his retreating figure, her mind was filled with thoughts like: Was I flirted with? He cheated!
But it must be admitted that because of his words "Sunflower Fairy," her steps became even lighter, and the two of them really arrived at the sunflower field one after the other.
First impression: Beautiful.
Second impression: Spectacular.
They stood straight like warriors clad in golden armor, their unwavering posture exactly as Song Xingyun had imagined.
She immediately raised her camera and captured the beauty of the sunflowers.
After making sure she had captured every angle, she cautiously made a request, "Boss, could you take a few pictures for me?"
Yu Mushang, who was listening to the sound of her busy footsteps running around, was about to raise his hand, but then, thinking of his own situation, he helplessly lowered it.
But just as his hand was about to drop completely, his wrist was grabbed by her warm, soft little hand, forcing him to lift his hand again. Then she shoved the camera into his hand. "It's very simple. I'll find the right position and angle. Just listen to my instructions and press the shutter."
It does sound simple.
A momentary feeling of inferiority clouded his otherwise brilliant mind. "Alright, since the Sunflower Fairy has already pleaded, I'll forgive you for ordering your boss around this time."
Her face flushed, and she stomped her foot. "Boss, you need to get rid of the grease."
Yu Mushang: ...
Who is really so clueless about romance?
Song Xingyun grabbed his arms with both hands and moved him to a different position, facing him. Her flowing long hair occasionally brushed against his skin. From a distance, the two looked very intimate.
"Alright, this is it. Just listen to my commands."
She deliberately secured Yu the Human-Shaped Frame Mu Shang, then turned to run to a spot she had already chosen not far away.
But the next second, the man grabbed her, and she turned around in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Yu Mushang pursed his lips and said, "Assistant Song, you should pay the compensation for emotional distress first."
Song Xingyun didn't think of it for a moment, and Yu Mushang asked again, "Don't you believe me?"
He took Song Xingyun's hand, and her fingertips unexpectedly touched his slightly dry lips. Then, her lips parted slightly, "I'm thirsty."
Song Xingyun: This is too hot to handle!!!
