Chapter 144 Long-standing Thoughts and Hopes

After playing with the animals for a while, Chao Yu looked towards the kitchen. Although she couldn't see anyone inside, she could still clearly hear the movement from time to time.

"Sheng Ting actually cooked for you himself. It's rare to see him being such a good husband and father. If your old friends saw this, they would be so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths."

As she spoke, Chao Yu looked at Chu Shuang with a genuine and gentle gaze, "He is sincere to you. You did not marry the wrong person."

Chu Shuang also smiled, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Sister, do you want to paint in the studio or go to the garden?"

"Let's go to the garden. The scenery is beautiful."

After spending an afternoon in the garden, Chaoyu got ready and sat quietly for Chushuang to paint.

Chu Shuang painted stroke by stroke, and the beauty's every frown and smile slowly fell on the paper. The more she painted, the more amazed she was at Chao Yu's beauty.

It is stunning at first glance, but the more you look at it carefully, the more pleasing it becomes. It is an impeccable beauty that deserves scrutiny.

Like the trees in the north, they are strong, straight, and unrestrained.

As he painted further, Chu Shuang's eyes became increasingly moist. In order to avoid her noticing, he kept his head down while painting.

When the finished product came out, Chao Yu's eyebrows relaxed and she smiled, "As expected of an art student, the painting is so beautiful. Just like Tian Xian'er, looking at this painting, I feel that no one in the world is worthy of me."

Although he spoke in a teasing tone, Chu Shuang felt a little sad inside.

Isn't there no one worthy of her in this world now?

It was indeed a painting that she was very satisfied with. Chao Yu carefully put it away, hugged Chu Shuang and gave her a loving kiss on the face.

"My sister is really gifted with her hands. This is my favorite painting of all these years."

After being kissed by her, Chu Shuang smiled foolishly, "As long as you like it, Sister, you can come to me if you want to draw anything in the future. I will make time for you no matter how busy I am."

Chao Yu pinched her ears, her eyes soft, "Good girl, Sheng Ting is lucky."

Chu Shuang accompanied her for a walk in the garden. After walking for a while, Chao Yu took out a piece of chocolate and some candies from her bag and handed them to her.

Looking at the chocolate, Chu Shuang paused, "Why does my sister always carry chocolate with her?"

Chao Yu looked into the distance with a gentle look in her eyes and whispered softly, "A long time ago, I didn't like eating chocolate. Someone gave me a piece of chocolate when I was in the most difficult time. He told me that if I eat something sweet when I'm in a bad mood, life won't be so bitter."

She smiled quietly, "Does it sound like self-deception? How can a piece of chocolate be so magical? I am not a child who can solve all my troubles with a piece of candy."

Chu Shuang felt a little sad and asked her, "Then why do you like chocolate?"

"What he gave me was chocolate, but what I got was long-lasting thoughts and hopes."

Yes, it’s not chocolate that I like.

Chocolate can't take away the bitterness of life. What she remembers is the comfort brought by the person who gave her the chocolate.

"Later I asked him why he thought of using chocolate to comfort people," Chao Yu smiled, "He said that his little sister likes sweet things."

"He uses the same tricks as children to comfort others. It's a little clumsy, but he's honest and lovable."

Chu Shuang was stunned and her nose felt sore, remembering that when she was a child, her parents didn't let her eat too much sweets, so she often pestered her brother to buy her candy.

Her brother was such a principled person and he was always unruly in front of her. She hugged him and acted coquettishly a few times, and Chu Wei couldn't bear it anymore. So he brought her her favorite candies without her parents' knowledge.

Later, the little girl had several cavities and she shed tears in pain. Chu Wei finally became cruel and no longer tolerated her sweet words.

Recalling the past, Chu Shuang's eyes were filled with tenderness and nostalgia, "What kind of person is he that you are talking about?"

"He was a gentle man with a clear moon and a gentle breeze. No one who knew him had anything bad to say about him."
