Chapter 775 Resembles Master
"There was an old man in the shop where we completed the mission. He saw that we did a good job and gave it to us to play with."
Zhao Yun'er found it a little strange, but didn't ask any more questions. She nodded and took it as if she believed Ye Wanxi's words.
Jiang Yulai and his companion were the last to arrive. When they arrived, Jiang Yulai's face was completely white. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that he had suffered some kind of inhuman torture after completing a mission.
But what truly caused his weakness was not the tedious task at all, but the woman holding his hand.
Two hours earlier, Jiang Yulai was enthusiastically stirring the dye with a stick to dye the fabric, following the instructions of a female shop assistant, when Ding Li suddenly changed her attitude. She grabbed his arm and whispered sweet nothings to him while secretly glaring angrily at the female shop assistant who was instructing him on how to do things.
Ding Li's dramatic change in behavior, in the eyes of viewers who believed they were a real couple, was nothing more than a girl throwing a tantrum at her boyfriend.
She later discovered that her boyfriend wasn't comforting her, and that her anger had subsided over time. However, she then saw him laughing and talking with other women, which made her jealous. That's why she rushed to cling to him to assert her dominance, which is understandable.
To the viewers who already thought the two were a fake couple, it was nothing more than Ding Li finally remembering her responsibilities and coming back to give them a perfunctory performance.
Jiang Yulai, however, couldn't manage a smile at all.
The moment Ding Li approached, he felt as if he were hugging a huge block of ice, so cold that goosebumps rose all over his body, instantly reminding him of the crazy woman who had suddenly grabbed his neck last night while they were talking.
After two hours of skin-to-skin contact with Ding Li, Jiang Yulai felt as if most of his vitality had been drained away. He wanted to ask for help, but found that he had no idea who to ask for help from.
Until I saw Ye Wanxi...
Ye Wanxi was caught off guard by Jiang Yulai's pleading gaze filled with tears. She paused for a moment, then glanced at Ding Li beside him, whose eyes held a warning glint, and instantly understood.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yulai was destined to be disappointed.
Ye Wanxi's gaze lingered on the two of them for only a few seconds before she looked away, clearly indicating that she didn't want to get involved.
The brief undercurrent among the group went unnoticed by others. After the staff briefly checked their mission cards and confirmed that they were all stamped, they were allowed to board the ship.
Interestingly, the director personally came to collect the task cards for Ye Wanxi and her companion.
After reading it, he wanted to take it back, but Feng Tianyu stopped him.
The director used a little force, then a little more force, and finally almost all his strength, grimacing as he struggled against Feng Tianyu, but he still couldn't budge the mission card an inch.
Finally, Ye Wanxi couldn't stand it anymore and asked with a smile, "Is there a rule that this card should be recycled?"
"...That's how it is generally understood."
"Could we keep it as a souvenir? After all, it's the first time we've been recognized for completing a mission together."
"..." Since you've already said that, what else can I say?
The director looked longingly at the task card bearing Mr. Lü's personal seal before quietly leaving.
Ye Wanxi noticed the change in his expression and stared thoughtfully at the stamp on the card: "That old man is probably not simple."
"Lu Liangfeng is a famous master of traditional Chinese painting, especially skilled in landscape painting. This old man has an eccentric temperament and does not like to show his face. He has never accepted any interviews from any magazine or media, and rarely participates in art exhibitions. He only took on six disciples in his lifetime, and now they are all well-known and powerful figures in the art world."
Ye Wanxi looked surprised: "You knew who he was all along?"
Feng Tianyu shook his head: "At first it was just a guess, but seeing this seal confirmed it."
Ye Wanxi looked at the rippling water and remained silent.
Seeing this, Feng Tianyu asked in a low voice, "Regretful?"
"No, not at all." I wouldn't say I regret it. I never intended to go down this path in the first place, and to have someone as my mentor would have been a huge mistake.
"I just think he's quite fun, like a playful old man."
Feng Tianyu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he understood something.
"He looks a bit like his master."
Ye Wanxi was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, he looks a bit like Master."
No wonder she felt a strange sense of warmth and familiarity when she saw the old man's proud back turned. In her past life, her master would always act like this when he was unhappy that she cared more about the other senior brothers than him.
The proud and arrogant progenitor who had long since ascended to immortality: "Achoo!"
The journey back was quite smooth, without any further mishaps.
Jiang Yulai had been itching to get closer to Ye Wanxi the whole way, but Ding Li, who seemed to have anticipated this, held him back tightly.
They didn't find a suitable opportunity until they disembarked, but their respective agents were already waiting outside.
Jiang Yulai didn't even get to say a word to Ye Wanxi before being taken away by his two agents along with Ding Li.
Gao Min came in person this time because she was terrified by what happened the night before.
Even though Ye Wanxi said on the phone that she was fine, she still came to pick her up in person.
Upon seeing the two and confirming their safety, Gao Min couldn't help but complain, "You two are always causing trouble wherever you go. I'm starting to wonder if you have Conan-like qualities."
Ye Wanxi gave a bitter smile, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
This really doesn't apply to them; it's just that some things are destined to happen, and some things are only visible to them.
Now that we've figured it out, we can't just leave it unattended, right?
Sure enough, just as she was thinking about it, trouble came knocking on her door.
"Miss Ye, Mr. Feng, would it be convenient for us to talk somewhere else?"
Accompanied by Li Guangjun, Zhao Yun'er walked up to the two of them. At this moment, she showed no trace of the joy and liveliness she displayed on the show; instead, she appeared visibly tired and worried.
Gao Min didn't come to the last episode, so she naturally didn't know that the two of them had been in contact with their own artists in private.
Upon hearing this, he subconsciously turned to look at Ye Wanxi questioningly.
Ye Wanxi roughly knew the purpose of their visit, so she didn't ask any further questions. She just exchanged a glance with Feng Tianyu and said with a faint smile, "Our flight was booked quite late, and it's already dark. Let's find a place to sit together."
Li Guangjun understood immediately and said, "Mr. Feng and Miss Ye, would you like to eat Huaiyang cuisine? I've been around here before and know there's a Jiangsu cuisine restaurant that's pretty good."
"We can all."
"Let's go to this one then."
Given that yesterday's live broadcast was broadcast, many people now know that they were filming a program in this area.
To avoid trouble, the group made some simple disguises.
The restaurant that Li Guangjun mentioned wasn't far away. A dozen minutes later, the four of them, along with Gao Min, sat in a private room at the restaurant, talking about Zhao Yun'er's family while waiting for their food.
"You came to see me because of your sister?"
