Also the favorite topic of conversation for the neighborhood's retirees after dinner.
Because he has an "imaginary girlfriend" he made up himself, named Xu Wanlai, a gorgeous woman who loves him very, very much.
"Of course she's made up. How many years has it been? Has anyone in our neighborhood ever seen her?"
"Professor Qin is great in every way, sigh. It's just that he's mentally ill."
Oil painter x man who acts like a mother
*She fell in love with a wild horse, but there was no grassland at home.
*The heroine is an extraordinarily gifted artist with perfect pitch for color and the talent of a painting prodigy. The heavens are practically spoon-feeding her. The hero taught her, but he can't compare to her, not by a long shot.
*Sometimes the heroine indulges in wild, unrestrained sex and acts as though she loves the hero, but normally she's completely absorbed in her paintings.
