Shen Mo waited outside for two hours with the oil painting she had finished, and at last Mr. He came home.
Her heart fluttered. In her haste, she stepped forward to greet him.
The car door opened, and a man with refined features and a cool expression stepped out. The driver held an umbrella beside him. With a slight glance, the man still noticed her in the corner.
The young woman was slender, her white dress soaked by the rain, her black hair falling to her waist.
The man glanced her way, then walked right past her all the same.
A hint of disappointment stirred in Shen Mo's heart. She turned her hopeful gaze to the driver.
The driver said apologetically, “The gentleman has been drinking and isn't in a good mood. Why don't you come back tomorrow?”
Shen Mo knew better.
He wasn't in a bad mood at all.
Each time she came, he used that excuse to brush her off.
Just as she was about to give up and leave, her phone lit up.
-[What are you holding?]
Shen Mo typed:
-[A painting for you.]
-[Looks like I won't be able to give it to you after all.]
Two minutes later.
Still mindful of the rain outside, he replied: [Come in.]
-
Shen Mo liked Mr. He, even though she knew their status and position were worlds apart.
She confessed while drunk.
But after a long while, the person across from her still hadn't reacted.
She tentatively opened her eyes and saw the man gazing at her impassively. His voice was tinged with lazy weariness. It wasn't quite accusatory, yet there was a cold edge to it.
“You like me, but weren't you the one who went to the movies with a male friend yesterday?”
Later on,
A black car was often parked outside the art studio.
Everyone nearby knew that Mr. He had come to pick up the woman he loved.
