Chapter 158 Street Painter and His Assistant



"Aren't you going?"

But when Mia heard Gu Xinghe's question, she simply shook her head.

Mia seemed to be lost in thought and had some concerns.

Gu Xinghe chose...

They scattered feed for the pigeons where they were standing in the square.

Since Mia chose not to approach the pigeons, Gu Xinghe decided to let the pigeons approach them instead.

The white pigeons in the square also quickly moved at the sound of the wind.

The commotion looked even bigger than when the cats were fighting over food at the cat cafe.

After all, these pigeons can fly, giving them an advantage in the air.

At this moment, dozens of pigeons flew to Gu Xinghe's side and kept pecking at the feed on the ground at his feet.

Several white doves even landed quite affectionately in Gu Xinghe's palm.

Seeing this, Mia, standing next to Gu Xinghe, also showed a rather envious expression.

Even though the two were so close, the doves didn't seem to have any intention of approaching Mia.

It was discovered that a small amount of the bread and feed that Gu Xinghe had scattered had actually landed at Mia's feet.

Even with food right in front of them, the pigeons showed no intention of flying over to peck at it.

Before Mia could even make a move, the white dove that was still on the ground hopped away from her.

After all, feeding pigeons is not like petting cats. If it were the latter, Gu Xinghe could still soothe the cats by listening to their inner thoughts.

But if it's a pigeon, then trying to keep it might be a bit more difficult.

Gu Xinghe, who had become the center of attention for a short time, saw the pigeons finish all the feed in his hands—

Like a scumbag who eats and leaves, the white pigeons immediately flew away to visit another tourist who provided them with food.

Faced with the flock of pigeons that appeared at a moment's notice and then vanished in an instant, Gu Xinghe felt somewhat amused and exasperated.

However, he didn't hear any particularly clear reason from the white doves why they didn't want to get close to Mia.

I could only sense a faint sense of disgust towards Mia from them.

But this is obviously very strange.

The pigeons in the town square were clearly fed and were particularly friendly to people.

This occurred just after the children somewhat recklessly rushed into the flock of pigeons.

The white doves were only briefly startled and flew into the air, where they remained for a short time.

Then it settled down again and calmly flew to people's hands to snatch food.

It's more accurate to say that even people like Carol or Rekaya, who are inherently strange, didn't evoke any aversion in the animals.

Even after imitating Gu Xinghe's cat-petting gestures, she gained the affection of many cats in the cat cafe.

As for Mia's personality, Gu Xinghe, who had known her for some time, thought it was—

It has a touch of playfulness amidst its tranquil elegance.

For example, she would patiently and meticulously introduce the castle to him, and the time spent with him was quite harmonious and pleasant.

But at the same time, they will deliberately withhold the information he wants to know.

Or perhaps, as if setting off to the square, she imitated the boss's "pie-in-the-sky promises" to the employees she hired.

Just like his first impression, Mia gave him the feeling of a forest elf who had emerged from a dense green forest.

But Gu Xinghe didn't understand why a girl with such a personality would provoke the animals' dislike or even disgust.

At this moment, after seeing Gu Xinghe finish feeding the pigeons and quickly win their favor and "dislike", they realized that Gu Xinghe had finished feeding the pigeons and had won their favor and "dislike" in a short period of time.

Mia's face also showed a happy expression.

Her expression at that moment looked like one of satisfaction, as if she had finally fulfilled a wish.

So, is it because she knows she's not liked by the pigeons that she wants someone to feed them in her place?

While Gu Xinghe was making a vague guess in his heart, Mia had already led him to a stop at the edge of the square.

After finding a suitable work location, the street artist's business, whose name was unknown, officially opened for business!

As Mia left the castle, she put on a dark brown sun hat that perfectly matched her dress.

The inside of the hat brim was painted with sprawling, tender green branches and leaves, like a beautiful natural painting.

At that moment, Mia had already opened the suitcase she had brought from the castle.

Seeing Mia's actions, Gu Xinghe, the painter's assistant, also helped arrange and set up various tools.

A small knife, charcoal pencils, drawing paper, a foldable easel that needs to be unfolded, and two folding wooden chairs for the painter and guests to sit on...

Upon seeing this, Gu Xinghe wanted to retract his earlier statement.

Aside from the bag the painter carried, he was quite curious about the painter's toolbox, and indeed, about what the painter's entire body contained.

Although he had no intention of prying into Mia's privacy, Gu Xinghe happened to catch a glimpse of a sketchbook in the toolbox.

It was a sketchbook that had been opened and turned to the middle page.

The image depicted above is likely a sudden creative inspiration or a sketch drawn casually by Mia.

The paper depicted a scene of white doves flying in the square, and green ivy climbing all over the outer walls of the castle.

But at this moment, Gu Xinghe noticed the sketchbook and drawing paper that was clearly missing a corner.

The curve of the torn paper looked exactly the same as the note he had found on the door of his hotel room!

A female painter's distress signal, a note from her sketchbook.

The various keywords he had previously obtained converged in Gu Xinghe's mind at this moment—

It was a note Mia left on the door of his hotel room!

But if it really is as he previously guessed, Mia's body is being strangely controlled.

If true spiritual consciousness can only be imprisoned within the physical body.

How did they manage to do that?

Or perhaps Mia possesses exceptional mental strength and perception.

This would allow them to break through the strange "lockdown" that lasted for a period of time, creating a short period of "free time" for movement.

But if it was so urgent, why didn't she send him a more direct distress signal?

Instead, they left a note on their room door, asking him to guess who the real person calling for help was.

Or, since the butler, Fils, has been with her since she was a child, and the two have relied on each other ever since.

Then why didn't she ask this seemingly trustworthy butler for help?

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Gu Xinghe is currently questioning whether there are actually two consciousnesses within Mia's body.

It is also impossible to confirm whether the true consciousness of the original body is imprisoned within the body.
