Chapter 275 The Paranoid Painter 5 This realization gave him an excitement that only he knew about this secret.
It was as if he had encountered a rare flower, one that only he could not only touch the petals but also perceive its entirety.
"nothing."
“You slept for about twenty minutes, but your position changed.”
"You can still get your full salary today."
He finally said he was trying to get his voice back to normal.
Okay, shall we continue?
Zi Xi breathed a sigh of relief and wrote.
Thankfully, the employer wasn't angry. Looks like I wasn't drooling. Ah, I really can't lose this job.
Her inner thoughts surfaced at the same time.
"That's enough for today, you're tired."
"The housekeeper will bring fruit and desserts later."
Jin Ye said unexpectedly.
Zi Xi's eyes widened in surprise. This might be the first time Jin Ye had voluntarily ended his work early.
She hesitated for a moment before writing: "Are you alright? You look a little pale."
"I'm fine, you can wait and eat some fruit."
Jin Ye turned around and pretended to tidy up his paintbrushes.
As Zi Xi packed her things to leave, Jin Ye couldn't resist testing this new ability.
"We need to start earlier tomorrow, how about seven o'clock?"
He said it on purpose.
I will be there on time.
Zi Xi nodded and started typing on the tablet.
But at the same time, Jin Ye heard her true thoughts.
"Seven o'clock... then I have to get up at 5:30. It's worth it for this salary, I can catch up on sleep on the bus."
This strange inconsistency between his outward appearance and his inner self fascinated Jin Ye.
He has always relied on observing people's external physical expressions, micro-expressions, body language, and muscle contractions.
Now he suddenly has someone's heart, and the feeling is just too good to be true.
As Zixi reached the door, she glanced back.
Jin Ye heard her final thought.
[My husband was acting a little strange today, but at least he didn't get angry. It's good that we'll see that beautiful little blue snake tomorrow.]
The door closed gently, leaving Jin Ye standing alone in the center of the studio.
He walked to the sofa, his fingers unconsciously touching the spot where Zixi had just lain, where faint warmth and her scent still lingered.
Then he did something he had never done before.
He lay down in that spot, trying to see the studio from her perspective.
With the ceiling high above, the painting appears even more distorted and oppressive when viewed from a low angle.
The creatures in the reptile enclosure seemed to be staring at him.
From this vantage point, Jin Ye felt as if the art studio was filled with a black mist.
Suddenly, Bai Zixi's voice seemed to appear in Jin Ye's ears again.
Your world is like an exquisitely crafted cage; you are both the prisoner and the jailer.
Jin Ye sat up abruptly, breathing rapidly.
This ability is real, genuine, and uncontrollable; he hasn't experienced such hallucinations in a long time.
He sat up and walked to the easel, gazing at the painting he hadn't finished that day.
The Zixi in the painting is more vivid than any of her previous works, as if she would breathe out of the canvas at any moment.
He didn't know if it was because he was observing more closely, or because of the kiss and the strangeness that followed.
Night had completely fallen outside the window.
Jin Ye didn't turn on the light, but instead lit a cigarette in the darkness, the scarlet light flickering on his face.
"Bai Zixi will come tomorrow too."
"very good."
He whispered to the empty studio.
