Chapter 128 He Really...Loved Her More and More
Wen Duo tilted her head and looked at Ji Huaishen's abnormal behavior.
He stood there like a statue about to crumble, his muscles taut and tense, his always unfathomable eyes now revealing a hint of vulnerability she had never seen before...?
"Ji Huaishen,"
She suddenly stood on tiptoe, reached out and patted his head, her movements as brisk as if she were soothing a frightened large dog:
"Don't worry, you're so nice to me, so what if you're a little perverted? I understand."
Ji Huaishen raised his head suddenly, his pupils suddenly contracted:
"You...know?"
Wen Duo curled her lips, her cheeks puffed up slightly:
"Humph, I don't even want to tell you about those perverted behaviors!"
Of course she knows.
The barrage of comments that passed by had already told her everything.
He secretly hid her underwear, kissed her after every performance, and lied to her that it was just an allergy...
abnormal!
Super pervert!
Ji Huaishen's eyes wandered over her face, as if to confirm the truthfulness of her words.
He saw the understanding in her eyes, and also saw the indulgence hidden behind that understanding.
At that moment, he felt his heart being hit hard by something.
Maybe she knew some, but not all.
But it's enough.
It’s like a person who has been immersed in darkness for a long time is suddenly allowed to glimpse a ray of light. Even if it’s only a ray, it is enough to make him happy.
"Then you see,"
He finally spoke, his voice so low that it seemed to come from far away:
"But after you read it, don't hate me."
He paused, his Adam's apple rolling with difficulty:
"Otherwise... I'm not sure what I could do to annoy you."
The threat should have been chilling, but coming from his mouth it sounded like an almost desperate plea.
Wen Duo suddenly felt a lump in her nose.
Really, if she really found out that he had drawn something perverted, how could she bear to leave?
This is the trick that annoying people use.
"Yeah~"
She answered in a deliberately light tone, trying to dispel the heavy atmosphere in the air.
Without waiting for Ji Huaishen to say anything, she turned around and grabbed a corner of the white cloth.
With a swish, the white cloth fell to the ground.
Ji Huaishen closed his eyes, waiting for the judgment to come.
He imagined Wen Duo's scream, her back as she turned and fled, and the fear and disgust that would soon appear in her eyes...
These imaginations cut into his nerves like a knife.
Please...
Please...
Don't ever...
"Wow~"
Wen Duo's exclamation was like a heavenly sound:
"Is this the me you drew? So beautiful!"
Ji Huaishen suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was not the dark paintings he had imagined, but a work that he had almost forgotten existed.
In the painting, Wendo is wearing a white ballet skirt and dancing gracefully in the moonlight, with a figure as graceful as a real swan.
In the corner of the painting, a vague figure is sitting in front of the piano, as if accompanying Wen Duo in the center.
"This painting of yours depicts the scene of my competition, right?"
Wen Duo's eyes were sparkling, as if filled with stars.
She leaned close to the painting, almost touching her face to it:
"Oh my god, Ji Huaishen, you are so awesome!"
Ji Huaishen stood there, not knowing how to react for a moment.
This painting was created during the period when Wendo was temporarily blind.
At that time, Wen Duo had already chosen to accept him, and he didn't need to vent, but he still walked into the studio unintentionally.
Adhering to the principle of "since you are here, you are here", he stayed in the studio and painted a picture.
Then, because he missed Wen Duo more and more as he painted, he went to find her immediately after finishing the painting.
He almost forgot that he had painted this...
I wrongly blamed the housekeeper.
Increase salary.
"This painting is really beautiful,"
Wenduo turned around, her face filled with pure joy:
"Does it have a name? What is it called?"
Ji Huaishen's Adam's apple rolled and his voice was deep:
"Swan in the Moonlight."
Wen Duo nodded, then wrinkled her nose:
"I don't think this name is good."
She pointed to the piano figure in the corner of the painting, "There's someone else here, okay?"
Ji Huaishen's gaze followed her fingertips and fell on the blurry figure.
That was the first and only time he painted himself into a picture with Wen Duo.
At that time, he finally dared to look forward to standing beside her openly, instead of just imprisoning her with chains in his imagination as before.
"So what do you think we should name it?" he heard himself asking, with a hint of anticipation in his voice that he himself didn't even notice.
Wen Duo bit her lower lip and thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up:
"It's called—'Ding-Ding Swans Going Round and Round'!"
The air froze for a second.
Then--
"puff."
A light laugh escaped from Ji Huaishen's lips.
Then came the second tone, the third tone...
Soon, low laughter filled the entire studio.
He laughed so heartily and carefreely that he even had to hold on to the easel beside him to steady himself.
Wen Duo's face flushed red:
"Stop laughing!"
She waved her little fist and hit Ji Huaishen's chest, but he grabbed her wrist.
Ji Huaishen held her hand, and his laughter did not stop.
There were even tears in the corners of his eyes, and his usually stern face now glowed with astonishing brilliance.
Wen Duo had never seen him smile like this before. It wasn't a polite smile, nor was it a chuckle of amusement, nor was it a smile of doting on her.
But a real, hearty laugh.
No worries, no hidden smile.
"Is it so funny..."
Wen Duo pouted and complained, but seeing Ji Huaishen laughing so happily, the shame and anger in her heart was gradually replaced by another emotion.
snort!
Since you smiled so happily for the first time, I won’t be angry!
Ji Huaishen finally stopped laughing, but the curve of his mouth was still soft.
He looked down at the angry girl in front of him, and suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Thank you." He whispered in her ear, his voice more relaxed than ever before.
Wenduo was startled by his sudden hug, but quickly relaxed and buried her face in his chest.
"What are you thanking me for?" she said sullenly. "It's just the name of a painting."
Ji Huaishen didn't answer, but just tightened his arms around her.
He knew that he was not only thanking her for this, but also thanking her for giving him an outlet, a chance to walk out of the dark cage he had built.
Thank her for thinking about me and paying attention to me.
He really...
I love her more and more.
Just like a beam of light, no matter how despicable you are, it will shine on you fairly.
