Chapter 619
When the servants saw Shen Rang coming, they were no longer surprised. Shen Rang went straight into the backyard and went to Shanshui Residence without any hindrance.
Today, the Shanshui Residence is unusually quiet, and even Chen Nianchu is not here.
Hearing the commotion, Yunxi came out to greet him. Noticing his confusion, she said, "Mother came this morning and took Nianchu away."
Shen Rang nodded.
That's perfect.
Seeing that Yunxi seemed uninterested, Shen Rang asked, "What's wrong?"
Yunxi sighed: "Isn't it my father?"
“My mother had just returned safely when he wrote to me, saying that he hadn’t seen the scenery of Luoyang for too long and asked me to paint a picture for him. How could I possibly do that?”
With this sentence, Shen Rang's thoughts drifted to a distant past.
Yunxi was indeed not a calm and collected person when she was a child.
Although his stay in Qingshui Village was short, he was fortunate enough to witness Chen Zongwen begging Yunxi to learn to write.
And it happened more than once.
If you can't even write properly, you can't even draw properly.
Shen Rang smiled and shook his head: "I'll do it."
Yunxi's eyes lit up when she heard his words.
Painting is difficult for her, but for Shen Rang, who grew up in the capital and achieved the highest honors in the imperial examinations, it is probably the easiest thing ever!
"Very good!"
Yunxi pulled him to the art studio.
The studio at Shanshui Residence faces the backyard, where a lush and beautiful garden awaits. The fragrance of the trees fills the air, instantly relaxing the senses.
Shen Rang sat down at the desk and arranged the writing implements on his own.
Yunxi wasn't idle either; she started grinding ink for him.
Yunxi's ink-grinding skills are quite good, a skill she's had since childhood.
Shen Rang picked up his pen and sketched an outline in a few strokes.
With a splash of ink, the scenery of the imperial city and the river came to life on the paper.
Yunxi watched from the side, subconsciously lowering her breathing, afraid of disturbing Shen Rang.
The studio was extremely quiet. A gentle breeze carried the scent of ink and the unique fragrance of the woman beside him. The moment was peaceful and beautiful, and Shen Rang couldn't help but smile.
This is the life he has always dreamed of.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Rang finally put down his paintbrush.
Yunxi immediately craned her neck to look.
The scroll is divided by the Imperial City River. On the other side of the river is the majestic imperial city, and on this side is the bustling city life. Shen Rang even painted the pedestrians, making them lifelike.
"Once the ink dries, I'll take it away, frame it, and bring it back to you," Shen Rang said.
Yunxi nodded.
She was carefully looking at the painting when suddenly a hand reached out, pinched her chin, and turned her head to the side.
They met Shen Rang's gaze.
"We finally get to see each other, is this painting better than mine?"
Yunxi blinked.
A moment later, he suddenly laughed.
She moved Shen Rang's hand away and leaned closer to him: "Lord Shen, you're even jealous of paintings?"
Shen Rang reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her into his arms: "What, is that not allowed?"
He's here; she should only have eyes for him.
Thinking this, Shen Rang tightened his grip on Yun Xi, holding her close to his chest.
Yunxi originally just wanted to tease him, but she didn't expect Shen Rang to be so bold, so much so that she was the one who was now at a disadvantage.
Yunxi placed her hand on his chest and pushed him twice without moving him, so she said, "It's time to eat, stop fooling around."
The woman in his arms blushed like a delicate flower, stirring Shen Rang's heart: "After lunch, how about I take a nap with you?"
