Chapter 126 He wanted the part of himself that could not be seen in the light to be loved and illuminated by the "sun".
Even though a storm was raging outside, the house was still quiet, and even the chandelier didn't shake at all.
When Wen Duo followed Ji Huaishen into the restaurant, the light from the crystal chandelier gently fell on the long table, reflecting the silver tableware and exquisite porcelain plates.
The meal is ready, from freshly baked croissants to steaming truffle omelettes, each dish exudes an enticing aroma.
"Sit here." Ji Huaishen pulled out the chair next to the main seat and tapped the back of the chair lightly with his fingertips.
"Yeah~"
Wen Duo sat down without hesitation and started eating, while Ji Huaishen sat on a chair next to her and occasionally fed Wen Duo.
At this time, the butler came quickly and brought accurate news.
"Sir, the weather department predicts that this storm will last for at least a week."
The butler reported in a low voice, "All plans to go out to sea must be cancelled."
Ji Huaishen paused while feeding Wen Duo, then continued to feed Wen Duo.
"Um."
The butler hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Ms. Chen asked if she could temporarily help out in the infirmary until the storm subsides."
Ji Huaishen frowned, and the silver knife made a slight sound on the porcelain plate.
He wanted to refuse, but he heard Wen Duo speak first:
"Agree, she's a very good doctor."
Wen Duo was holding bacon in her mouth, her voice was a little unclear, but her eyes were shining:
"Last time, my neck felt a little uncomfortable, and she massaged it for me. It was really helpful!"
Ji Huaishen's gaze lingered on Wen Duo's face for a few seconds before he finally nodded.
"good."
He turned to the butler and said, "Find someone to keep an eye on it."
The butler took the order and left.
Wen Duo immediately glared at Ji Huaishen:
"She lives here, I feel bad for not helping her, why are you hiring someone to keep an eye on her?"
Ji Huai lowered his eyes and slowly cut the food on the plate:
"It's important to be on guard against others."
He raised his head, his eyes looking particularly deep under the light:
"The infirmary is a very important place. There can be no mistakes."
Wen Duo wanted to say that Chen Yuwei was a miracle doctor who traveled through time, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
In the end, she could only sigh:
"All right."
Then he retaliated by forking away the last piece of mushroom on Ji Huaishen's plate.
snort!
Treating her friends like this!
Annoying guy!
Ji Huaishen looked at the empty plate, chuckled, and continued cutting.
.........
After breakfast, Wen Duo couldn't wait to pull Ji Huaishen back to the corridor to continue looking at the paintings.
This time she looked more carefully, stopping at almost every picture for several minutes.
Ji Huaishen followed behind her, his eyes always following her back.
Whenever Wenduo stayed too long, his fingers would unconsciously tap on the seams of his suit pants.
These are metaphors, but...
Would she really not discover the true meaning of these paintings?
A strange feeling spread in Ji Huaishen's heart.
He didn't want her to know his dark side, but... he also wanted her to know.
He wanted the parts that were not visible to the light to also be loved and illuminated by the "sun".
"These paintings... When did you start painting?"
Wen Duo suddenly turned around, and Ji Huaishen immediately hid the expression in his eyes.
"It's been a long time." Ji Huaishen's voice was a little lower than usual.
Wen Duo didn't notice his suddenly tense expression, but said "Oh~" lazily, and her attention was attracted by another painting of hers.
After walking around for a while, Wen Duo suddenly turned around and asked expectantly:
"Can you teach me how to draw?"
Ji Huaishen looked at her deeply:
"If you want to learn, I can find a teacher to teach you."
"Why don't you teach me?"
She pouted unconvincedly, "I'm very smart and I learn things quickly!"
"My painting style..." Ji Huaishen looked away, "You can't learn it."
Wen Duo grabbed his wrist and shook it:
"Just learn for fun."
Seeing Ji Huaishen remained silent, Wen Duo got angry and directly pulled Ji Huaishen's arm and pulled him away:
"Where is your studio? I want to go!"
Ji Huaishen was stunned for a moment, then winked at the butler who appeared at the end of the corridor.
The butler nodded slightly and retreated quietly.
"Don't worry,"
Ji Huaishen held Wen Duo's hand with his backhand and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb:
"Take a look around first and see what you want to draw, then I'll teach you."
Wen Duo's eyes lit up:
“That makes sense!”
She was immediately persuaded and skipped off to the next painting.
...........
In the studio on the top floor of the castle, several servants in uniform were moving paintings carefully.
"Be careful not to damage the frame."
The butler gave orders in a low voice, glancing towards the door from time to time, "The master may bring his wife up at any moment."
The servants skillfully and carefully packed each painting and placed it in a special shipping box.
The paintings vary in size, but are all carefully wrapped in shockproof materials.
When a young maid was about to move a medium-sized painting in the corner, the butler suddenly raised his hand to stop her:
"etc."
He approached the painting and squinted his eyes to examine it for a moment.
Finally, he said:
"Leave this one here, and move the rest immediately to the basement and lock it in the safe."
"yes."
The maid didn't ask any more questions, but quickly covered the painting next to it with a piece of pure white linen and carried the box out with the others.
The butler looked at the painting in front of him, thought for a while, and finally covered the painting with a piece of white cloth and placed it in the corner.
After doing all this, the butler adjusted his tie and quietly left the studio.
At the corner of the corridor, he met Ji Huaishen who was slowly walking upstairs with Wen Duo. The two exchanged a brief but meaningful glance.
The butler nodded imperceptibly.
Ji Huaishen's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, but the perceptive Wen Duo noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" she asked, looking up.
"nothing."
Ji Huaishen raised a faint smile and reached out to tuck a strand of naughty hair behind her ear:
"I'm just wondering where to start teaching you."
Wen Duo's attention was immediately diverted, and she excitedly pointed at several flower paintings hanging on the wall:
"I want to learn how to draw roses! Look at this red rose, it's painted so well that it looks like you can smell its fragrance!"
She trotted a few steps and pointed to another painting. "Ah, this bouquet of jasmine is also beautiful, and the sea of flowers over there..."
Ji Huaishen followed behind her, his eyes gently following her joyful figure.
"You can't bite off more than you can chew."
He walked forward, gently put his arms around her shoulders from behind, and his chin almost touched the top of her head:
"Let's start with the easiest one, okay?"
"Um....."
She hesitated and finally said:
"Then...then let's go with roses~"
Ji Huaishen chuckled:
"Come with me."
He took her hand and led her to the top floor studio.
Standing in front of the studio door, Ji Huaishen put his hand on the door handle and pushed the door open.
