Chapter 39 - Doesn't Like to Talk and Doesn't Smile
Chrysanthemum Garden.
Xiao Yuanmu hadn’t missed that flicker of guilt in Song Xuanhe’s eyes. He glanced at the other, his speech calm and unhurried. “I just thought that those designs were really breathtaking. So, I thought I’d ask.”
Song Xuanhe’s eyes lit up. His ink-black eyes seemed to shine, and he couldn’t suppress the corners of his eyes from curving into a smile. MvDnPS
Back then, the reason he had studied drawing, aside from the fact that it was calming, had been mostly because his fine arts teacher would always squat outside of his classroom. That teacher would always enthusiastically tell him that he mustn’t waste his talent, that he refused to miss the chance to teach him, a good seedling who would eventually become a painting master of the next generation.
That teacher had pestered him to death, trying to get him to become a fine arts student. However, because this teacher had been in the painting and calligraphy committee, the teacher in charge of Song Xuanhe’s class couldn’t say any harsh words. All they had said was that Song Xuanhe was a good student, soit wasn’t suitable for him to learn art. His homeroom teacher had basically said that learning art should be left to the students who weren’t good at studying.
As soon as that teacher had said those words, the old arts teacher had exploded. He had then gone to pull out works from domestic great masters in the field, fuming, and spoke about their artistic mastery and excellent scholastic backgrounds. When he had finished, he also pulled Song Xuanhe over and emphasized how important one’s talent was. He had said that if one wasted one’s talent, they would be met with heaven’s wrath.

“Okay,” Zhang Chao said. He then added, “Mr. Xiao is picking up his phone. It seems like he’s making a call.”
Song Xuanhe was caught off guard. Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart. After making a faint sound of acknowledgement, he hung up.
As he expected, the moment he had hung up, an incoming call popped up on his phone’s screen. The name on the screen was Xiao Yuanmu.
