Starts October 23
On the day Lin Sui graduated, he received devastating news: he was the fake young master, switched at birth. The Lin family cut him off and told him to fend for himself.
Wait, seriously? The least you could do is buy me a plane ticket home!
Stranded in a foreign country, Lin Sui couldn’t find a job. With no other choice, he went to a bar to promote drinks.
That day, Lin Sui met a handsome guy at the bar. He was 190 centimeters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and an absolutely gorgeous face!
The watch on his wrist alone was worth enough to cover Lin Sui’s expenses for a year.
Under the dim lights, Lin Sui boldly tried to sell him some drinks. The man stared at him with his strikingly mixed-race features and bought all his drinks after just a few words.
Then he put a hand on Lin Sui’s shoulder.
Lin Sui shoved him away and didn’t even take the money. He only sold drinks, not anything else!
Lin Sui refused to go back to the bar. Instead, he decided to make a living with his artistic skills.
But the young master Lin had always cared about appearances. How embarrassing would it be if people he knew saw him showing his face on social media?
So Lin Sui bought a pile of women’s clothes and started livestreaming his art. His streams got great traffic, and lots of people commissioned paintings online. One clueless big spender threw money at him every day, in amounts so huge he could hardly believe it.
The guy had tons of money and no sense. He spent it without ever commissioning a painting. To keep the relationship going, Lin Sui took the initiative and added him as a friend, asking what kind of paintings he liked.
The guy was very direct. He sent Lin Sui a photo of his abs, with a taut waist and a body full of strength.
One painting for a hundred thousand yuan.
Lin Sui: What?! Wow, foreigners really are that rich. Abs, you say? I’ll paint anything else you want, too.
The guy often sent him photos of himself. Lin Sui had never met him in person, but figured he must be really handsome in real life. After chatting back and forth until they were familiar, the guy asked to meet in person so Lin Sui could paint a full-body portrait.
Three million yuan for one painting.
Lin Sui: Absolutely. I’m delighted to be of service.
When the day of their meeting arrived, Lin Sui was dressed up like a princess. He didn’t find his daddy, but he did find the idiot from the bar.
Lin Sui turned to run, but the man grabbed him by the collar and drawled lazily, “Weren’t you going to paint me?”
Lin Sui’s face turned ashen. He forced a smile. “Handsome, have you mistaken me for someone else?”
The man pulled him into his arms and slowly stroked him with his fingers. “Baby, you don’t think I can’t tell men from women, do you?”
Lin Sui: His heart seemed to stop beating.
Lin Sui did make good money, but his back and butt were often sore. To spare himself some suffering, he said he needed to improve his technique and would be going into seclusion for a week.
Gu Shi held him in his arms and murmured in a low, hoarse voice, “Baby, why don’t you paint us instead?”
“Just draw a few little scenes of us together.”
Message: Keep striving every day.
