If he were driven away, he would truly have nothing left.
He absolutely cannot leave, he cannot leave this place.
Lin Wanxing is now filled with sorrow.
He still has a chance. If he follows Coco's method, he might actually succeed. Coco is so amazing; she's very good at handling matters of the heart. If he listens to her, he'll definitely be able to stay by his second brother's side.
I can no longer be timid.
Just like Coco said, if you don't even dare to do this, what right do you have to talk about liking something?
His second brother is now his only support; he really likes him.
Who wouldn't like a gentle and refined gentleman? I'm already in a very advantageous position, but I still haven't gotten the moon.
If I don't try, there's no guarantee that my second brother won't fall for someone else first. If he meets someone prettier or smarter than me, I'll definitely be driven away.
Lin Wanxing's eyes were brimming with sorrow. He lowered his head, not daring to look into Shen Huai'an's eyes, because he felt ashamed of his behavior.
He nervously rubbed his little hands together and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, when are you going to draw me a picture?"
Shen Huai'an saw his expression; nothing escaped his eyes.
Seeing his ashamed expression, Shen Huai'an became even more excited. He loved seeing the little fool so conflicted and nervous, because it all stemmed from his own actions.
His joys and sorrows all stemmed from himself.
Shen Huai'an's smile remained gentle, as warm and comforting as a ray of bright sunshine. "Anytime is fine, why not now?"
Lin Wanxing became even more nervous after hearing the hoarse voice in his ear. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down so that he wouldn't look so abnormal.
"Second brother, I..."
"I think……"
These were words he found hard to say. He clutched the hem of his clothes, lowered his head even further, and spoke in a voice barely audible.
Shen Huai'an looked at him and deliberately asked, "Xingxing, what are you thinking about?"
"Second brother didn't hear clearly."
Lin Wanxing really couldn't bring herself to tell him that she wanted to paint nudes; it would be too humiliating for him.
He couldn't bring himself to say it in front of his second brother; his face was flushed red, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Shen Huai'an greatly admired his tearful appearance. The boy's blushing face and red eyes could ignite the beastly nature hidden beneath Shen Huai'an's skin. He wished he could take Lin Wanxing into his mouth and chew him into pieces before swallowing him whole.
However, Shen Huai'an had to remain rational at all times. He bit his tongue, the strong taste of blood spreading throughout his mouth, and the pain barely brought him back to his senses.
Shen Huai'an's eyes were terrifying. His tender gaze gradually darkened, and his smile turned cold. But his voice was still warm. "Xingxing, what's wrong with you? Just tell your second brother what's wrong."
“You should tell your second brother everything, so that he will understand your heart. You should also tell your second brother when you encounter difficulties.”
"Speak!"
"It's okay, just say what you want to say."
Shen Huai'an's voice always made Lin Wanxing lower his guard, because he always felt a sense of security in front of his second brother.
"I want you to paint a nude portrait for me, Second Brother." The boy's face was practically bleeding.
Shen Huai'an remained calm. "Oh, this is it? I thought it was something serious."
Lin Wanxing felt a little disappointed after hearing his tone. Perhaps in her second brother's eyes, this was just a very ordinary thing, and she was making a big deal out of it.
"Second brother, did you often draw these kinds of pictures for other people before?"
Shen Huai'an was very surprised, and then immediately explained: "How is that possible? I never draw for others."
"Don't overthink it. There's no need to worry about this so much."
"Because you and I are both pure of heart, we don't need to feel too ashamed."
"Besides, my second brother isn't that kind of person."
Shen Huai'an's explanation gradually put Lin Wanxing at ease. He nodded thoughtfully, seemingly having taken Shen Huai'an's words to heart.
Shen Huai'an led him into that eerie room again.
This time, the easel and canvas had been prepared in advance, and Lin Wanxing tiptoed behind Shen Huai'an.
"Sit on the sofa, and then take off your clothes."
Shen Huai'an spoke casually, as he lowered his head to work on his paintbrush. The last painting was entirely based on his imagination, but this one was different; the boy himself took off the clothes that were in the way.
"Second brother, I..." Lin Wanxing struggled for a long time, standing there hesitant to take off his coat.
He was very uneasy, shrinking back, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet.
He had never been so afraid before, being completely naked in front of another person; it was something he really resisted.
When Shen Huai'an heard him call his name, he immediately put down his paintbrush.
"Don't be nervous." Shen Huai'an slowly stood up and walked over with difficulty.
"Sit down and relax. Xingxing, you should get those bad things out of your mind. Only by being single-minded can you avoid being troubled by these things."
Lin Wanxing sat obediently on the sofa, while Shen Huai'an stood in front of him.
With trembling hands, he slowly unbuttoned his clothes, and after what felt like an eternity, he finally settled into a seat on the sofa.
His constant biting of his lip and bowed head really displeased Shen Huai'an.
"Why don't you dare to look up? Are you afraid of me?"
"In your eyes, is your second brother the kind of bad person who likes to snoop on other people's privacy?"
Shen Huai'an's voice gradually turned cold, and his figure completely enveloped Lin Wanxing as he stood in front of her.
"Xingxing, is Second Brother really that kind of person?"
"Didn't you ask your second brother to draw a nude for you?"
Hearing Shen Huai'an's tone, Lin Wanxing hurriedly looked up and saw Shen Huai'an's heartbroken expression.
He immediately realized that he had hurt his second brother's feelings. Anyone would be upset if they were labeled a bad person for no reason.
He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Huai'an's hand tightly, crying and apologizing like a child afraid of being abandoned: "Second brother, I'm sorry, I was just too scared. I know you're not that kind of person, but I was just scared. Please don't be angry with me."
“Xingxing, your second brother isn’t angry. Your second brother is sad. He’s sad because I was such a petty person in your eyes. It’s your second brother’s fault. It’s your second brother’s fault for not giving you enough security.”
Hearing his self-reproach, Lin Wanxing felt even more ashamed. It was his own fault for seducing her second brother, which led to all this trouble.
"No, it's not Second Brother's fault, it's Xingxing's fault, Xingxing is a bad child."
