The painting wasn't fully opened; the lower half of the painting vaguely revealed a man's attire.
At that moment, Xie Wenjun's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the painting that was not fully opened, he didn't know whether he should continue to open it. He was afraid that what he would see after opening it would be something he didn't want to see, so he stood there stunned for a long time.
Wan Ge also noticed his unusual behavior and walked over to his side, where she also saw the painting on the ground.
Seeing his clenched fists, she knew he was nervous. Wange placed her hands on his waist and leaned against him, saying, "Why don't you open the painting and take a look?"
"No...no need..." Xie Wenjun still backed down. He didn't want to know what was in the painting. He was afraid that he would make associations and make some wrong judgments.
Wan Ge touched his face and told him very seriously, "It's okay, you can watch."
Xie Wenjun's hands trembled as he fully opened the painting. Only when he saw the clear and handsome face of the person in the painting did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is?"
Wan Ge recalled that the painting was drawn when the original owner had feelings for him but didn't know how to express them.
At that time, the original owner still liked him very much. She hadn't seen those scenes then, so she wasn't too afraid of him. Even though she had heard that he was a tyrant, she didn't know fear because she hadn't seen him with her own eyes. Her feelings for him were more out of affection for her lover.
So I painted several pictures of him: one of a chance glimpse in the Imperial Garden; another of him sitting in a chair when he was with me; and yet another of him standing in the courtyard, admiring the plum blossoms and the snow.
"When...did you draw me?"
Wan Ge hugged the other person tightly, feeling the other person relax: "It won't be long, it should be the day after the Awakening of Insects."
The original owner saw him on the day of the Awakening of Insects, so he painted another picture the next day.
"Why did you paint me?" Xie Wenjun became a little nervous. He seemed to have a vague memory of what happened on the day of the Awakening of Insects.
For him, it seemed that life only began to feel more real after the day she was brought back.
Although he used to enjoy being around her, he didn't feel much for her as the days went by. It was as if as long as she was there, nothing else mattered.
"So... what do you think?"
Xie Wenjun tightened his grip on the scroll involuntarily: "I don't know."
Wan Ge took his hand and turned him around. As she touched his cheek, she answered his question: "Because I love you!"
The original owner did like him when she painted this picture, and now that Wan Ge sees this picture, she loves him.
Xie Wenjun was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately picked him up, asking, "Really?"
"real."
After Xie Wenjun was happy, she realized a problem: if the other person liked her, then why did she want to leave later?
"What's wrong?"
Wan Ge sensed that the other party still seemed to have some questions.
Xie Wenjun ultimately didn't ask. Perhaps now wasn't the best time to ask her; she'd ask later.
…
On the seventh day after Wan Ge's confinement was lifted, she found a note on her desk. The familiar handwriting told her who was passing her the note.
The plot reveals that the female lead wanted the original owner to help the male lead, so she encouraged the original owner to do all sorts of stupid things. Her goal was to make the original owner afraid of Xie Wenjun, so that she could be used by them after she developed a fear of Xie Wenjun.
Wan Ge put away the note, wanting to meet the female lead again.
The female lead is not a member of the harem; the other party is the niece of the Dowager Consort. Of course, she also has a half-sister in the palace, but her half-sister probably hasn't even met Xie Wenjun many times. However, she is just a pawn now.
Later, the female lead remembered that she had a half-sister who she could use, so she let the other woman get closer to the original owner, which made the original owner more afraid of Xie Wenjun and more eager to escape from life in the harem.
As for the female lead, she only had the opportunity to meet the original owner of the body when she went to the palace to visit the Dowager Consort, which is why she entrusted her half-sister with the task.
…
Following the original owner's habit, Wan Ge went to see the female lead alone.
Behind the artificial hill, Ling Qingxiao's eyes lit up with a smile when she saw Wan Ge arrive: "Wan Ge, you're finally here! How are you? I heard the tyrant captured you. Did he hurt you? I heard you were sick recently? How are you now?"
Wan Ge glanced at the other person indifferently, and then replied, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
