"Ms. Lu, may I hear your story with him?"
A hint of melancholy crossed Lu Wanyi's face, but she still nodded.
Hua Changle picked up the paint from the stool and offered it to herself. She sat down and assumed a listening posture.
Lu Wanyi also sat down, and the sunlight shone on "The Angel of Light" and onto her face.
"I first met him twenty years ago."
Hua Changle was taken aback: So long ago?
"Back then, he wasn't called 'Qiao Risheng' yet, nor was he a big star. His name was 'Qiao Sheng,' and he was a student at the Sixth District Daylight Academy."
“At that time, I went to the Sixth District with my parents, but I threw a tantrum and ran away halfway. I was only ten years old then, and it was the first time I was away from home alone. I was robbed. They even wanted to sell me.”
That's when he descended from the sky.
"Little friend, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
“My father was a veteran of the Wolf School, and I never suffered any injustice growing up. The first time I encountered something like that, I was terrified. When he appeared, I really felt like a legendary angel had descended.”
"Later, my father came looking for me. All I know is that my father wanted to reward him handsomely, but he declined."
Later, my father told me that he was a student of the Daylight Academy. My father had created a special scholarship for him.
"After that, we didn't see each other for ten years."
But strangely, even after ten years, his face remains vivid in my memory. Perhaps it's because I often see him in my dreams, so it doesn't really feel like ten years have passed since we last met.
"Then, ten years later, I was admitted to Daylight Academy and became a student in the Fine Arts Department of its Art College."
That time, Qiao Sheng returned to school as an outstanding graduate, and I saw him again.
Lu Wanyi was simply reminiscing, her face shrouded in a unique emotion.
"You have no idea how excited and happy I was! I felt like my soul was floating, and my heart had sprouted wings and flown to the direction he came from."
I ran to the auditorium and saw a more mature Qiao Sheng.
"I was in love, and I came up with the first draft of 'The Angel at the End of Light,' ready to take the painting to him and confess my feelings."
However, I only found out the day before I was supposed to go…
Lu Wanyi's eyes reddened: "He got married and became a big star."
"Back then, the most outstanding student in the supernatural abilities research program at Daylight Academy gave up the opportunity to be admitted to the top tier of universities and abandoned the career he wanted to pursue throughout his life to become an actor, all for his wife..."
I wonder what kind of unforgettable love it must have been for him to go to that extent.
"And can I do it?"
“I backed down, and… gave up.”
"In the ten years that followed, I just quietly followed his activities online and did some small things quietly. There was nothing else I could do."
Lu Wanyi gently stroked the edge of "The Angel at the End of Light":
"After the painting was adjusted, I originally planned to keep it permanently, but a few days ago, I noticed some comments online saying that his marriage was not happy."
I feel that my love, though hidden, is pure and unadulterated, and there's no reason for it to remain sealed away in some dark place. Therefore, I'm exhibiting my paintings.
"Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, we have formed another connection in this way."
Hua Changle remembered a question: "Miss Lu, how did you get his stone?"
Lu Wanyi smiled and asked in return, "Was he filming when he got lost?"
"Indeed."
"At that time, I had just become his fan, and I was still a little unwilling to give up, so during that period, I often followed him around."
Wherever he went to film, I would follow him. That time was no exception.
However, I arrived too late that time. The film crew had just left when I got there, so I could only wander around aimlessly.
I picked up this stone while I was walking.
Because I found it peculiar, I kept it and used it as a 'heart'.
Following her finger, I saw it pointing to the boy's heart in the painting. There, a warm, smooth jade stone occupied the space.
The jade has a warm luster, and when it reflects the sunlight, it seems to embody the essence of angels.
"What a wonderful coincidence!" Hua Changle couldn't help but exclaim.
Ten years ago, Qiao Risheng returned to his alma mater and met Lu Wanyi.
Not long after, Qiao Risheng encountered a ghost while filming, and the ghost's lost stone was picked up by Lu Wanyi, who was chasing Qiao.
Lu Wanyi has been a fan of Qiao Apiao for ten years.
Hua Changle was suddenly startled: Lu Wanyi had no idea that the person she loved was already gone...
Speaking of which, can Lu Wanyi distinguish who she loves?
Lu Wanyi said, "If he really needs to take back this stone, he can, but I have conditions."
"What are the conditions?"
"You need to tell me, was he bullied by the Feng family?"
Lu Wanyi, who was just a moment ago a sentimental young woman, now appeared calm and rational.
Hua Changle thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh my, you're absolutely right! He's been bullied terribly!"
Lu Wanyi immediately became anxious: "Is he alright?"
"How should I put it?" Hua Changle looked unsure how to explain.
This left Lu Wanyi feeling extremely anxious.
"If you're talking about the danger to one's life, it's not so bad; it's not as bad as losing this stone. But if you're talking about the mental impact, well... tsk tsk tsk... it's terrible!"
You probably know what they say on variety shows, right? In real life, it's even worse! Being subservient, treated like a slave, suffering a broken marriage but unable to escape—it's truly tragic!
Lu Wanyi's eyes were filled with heartache: "Take Shitou back! Give me his contact information!"
