Lucy: "Anning, you and Thunder are still so loving. Sit down, I'm getting an idea and I'm going to draw a portrait of you."
Anning: "Okay, thank you, Lucy."
Joyce watched Lucy clutch her easel to her chest, her slender fingers sketching, but she wouldn't glance at him twice. Joyce picked up a spoon and fed her another bite, which Lucy ate with open mouth. Joyce then fed Lucy the entire small bowl of cherry omelet, which she also ate, her pen still on her hand, continuing to sketch the tranquil and thunderous figures by the pool. Lucy's attitude towards him was lukewarm, leaving Joyce unsure of what to expect.
Joyce: "Lucy..."
Lucy didn't answer him. She glanced at the cherries on the table. Lucy's hometown, Cherry Country, was famous for producing the world's finest cherries, and the locals loved them. The cherries on the table were indeed from her hometown, but Lucy had been traveling and hadn't tasted her hometown's top-quality cherries in a long time. Thunder picked up a cherry and fed it to Anning, catching the pit under her lips. This sweet and tender moment made Lucy let out an "oh." Seeing Lucy's reaction, Joyce followed suit, feeding Lucy a cherry and catching the pit under her lips. Lucy spat out the pit, and Joyce didn't know what to do with it. A waiter took the cherry pit from Joyce's hand with a tissue. Lucy's paintbrush didn't stop. This subtle atmosphere puzzled Gals and the others; they couldn't understand what it meant.
A moment later, Lucy finished the portrait and handed it to Anning, who liked it very much.
Anning: "Wow, Leiting, look! Lucy's painting is so beautiful! Lucy, you're amazing!"
Lucy: "Whatever you like."
Thunder: "Take it home and stick it in our castle."
Lucy: "Oh? You bought a castle in Newging?"
Thunder: "I built a castle for Anning in China, a one-to-one replica of her old home."
Lucy: "Wow, Anning, your husband is so thoughtful towards you."
An Ning: "Hehe..."
Joyce: "You like castles, and our house is a castle."
The atmosphere turned cold as soon as Joyce interrupted, and Lucy's smile faded. Liao Qian called Lei Ting and An Ning over, and An Ning and Lucy nodded politely and went to the side.
Inside Hertz Castle, several guests were dancing, and some were swimming. Lucy started sharpening pencils. A box of pencils was placed on the table, and Allen and the others didn't understand what it meant. Without saying a word, they just kept drawing and sharpening pencils. Gals was a little embarrassed, and Joyce was anxiously waiting for Lucy's response. Lucy just did what she was doing.
