“But what’s the point of that? You are no longer with me.”
Wei Ji looked at the air and muttered, “I hate you, but I hate myself even more. You were so ruthless, yet I have been thinking of you
for so many years.”
The ghost’s eyes flashed.
Wei Ji continued, “Every year, I will draw a portrait of you. These paintings were never exhibited; instead, I kept them in my home.”
With each painting, his thoughts of her grew a little deeper. However, the more he missed her, the more he would remember her
ruthlessness, and the cycle would continue.
Besides, Wei Ji’s bed had several things on it, but they were covered with cloth. As soon as Ye Sui entered the door, she had noticed it.
Wei Ji reached out and lifted the cloth. Below were some paintings, each one depicting the same woman—her smile and her anger.
Her joys and sorrows were reflected in his paintings. It was as if these paintings showed the years they had missed.
The ghost was in a daze at the moment, and her tears fell like a waterfall.
Ye Sui could see that there were faint black burn marks on the painting. Could it be that...
At this time, Wei Ji’s voice sounded. “Some time ago, my house caught fire unexpectedly. My first reaction was to save the paintings.
“She is no longer with me, so I can’t lose these paintings.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYe Sui glanced at Chen Shu, and both saw helplessness in each other’s eyes. The misunderstanding between the two was so deep
that they thought the other person had failed each other’s expectations, but they still loved each other.
Now, one of them had become a ghost, yet she still insisted on an answer. Although one was alive, he was haunted by pain for most
of his life.
Once all the misunderstandings were solved, the ghost cried, “Why are you so stupid...” He rushed into the fire, regardless of his life,
just to protect his paintings.
“I didn’t write that letter back then.”
“I know,” Wei Ji replied in a soft tone then continued earnestly, “I remained single in my whole life. I have never had an engagement
with anyone else.”
The ghost smiled and said, “I know.”
After a while, Wei Ji and the portrait ghost simultaneously asked, “Can you forgive me?” When they knew they had the same idea,
they laughed.
Wei Ji and the ghost thanked Ye Sui; after a while, Ye Sui and Chen Shu left the ward. Ye Sui walked forward with a lot of emotion in
her heart.
She looked at Chen Shu and suddenly said, “Chen Shu, if we have anything to say in the future, we must talk about it right away.”
She didn’t want to feel regret for her whole life because of a misunderstanding.
Chen Shu knew what Ye Sui was thinking, and he smiled. “Alright”
Ye Sui continued, “If one of us has difficulties, it must be solved at once and not dragged to the next day.”
“No.” Ye Sui was still not assured, so she immediately added another sentence, “Can’t drag even half a day.”
Chen Shu’s eyes were dark and profound, staring intensely at Ye Sui. “OK.”
Ye Sui thought for a while and stretched out her little finger in front of Chen Shu. “Well, you and I will do a pinky swear. We shouldn’t go
back on our promise.”
Chen Shu lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Sui’s hand. After a few seconds, Chen Shu extended his hand and slowly approached
her.
As soon as he touched Ye Sui’s hand, her little finger bent slightly, and she hooked Chen Shu tightly. At the same time, she said
thoughtfully, “Look, we did the pinky swear.”
Chen Shu’s lips also curved. “So, we can’t go back on our word.”
Her fingers were slender, while his fingers were long. They gently hooked together, like a lifetime commitment.
A few days later, the police announced that the lost painting had been found. But the portrait seemed to have changed. The woman
no longer had a sad face; instead, she was smiling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRumors spread like wildfire again, but an announcement diverted people’s attention.
Wei Ji, a master painter who had already stopped painting, had finished a new art, which would be displayed at the painting
exhibition three days later.
The news stunned the netizens.
Master Wei was making a comeback. His paintings were hard to find, so every influential family in the city wondered what the new
work portrayed.
Everyone waited anxiously for these three days. When the time came, they were shocked when the painting was displayed in front of
everyone.
Although the woman in the painting only showed her side-profile, her facial features and contours were exactly the same as a
person.
It was Ye Sui.
The Internet exploded. So many people had asked Wei Ji to paint them, but he didn’t agree. Why did he paint Ye Sui after exiting his
seclusion?
Faced with many questions, Wei Ji only said one sentence: “Ye Sui is my benefactor.”
One sentence completely blocked out all other suspicions. Wei Ji painted Ye Sui because she had helped him.
Everyone coincidentally had an idea: Somewhere along the line, it seemed as if all the impossibilities were gradually becoming
possible for Ye Sui.
Was there anything else on Ye Sui that nobody could predict?
No one knew the answer, but time would prove everything.
