Zheng Mengni had turned Ye Bing's hospital room into her exclusive study space. It was the quietest and most suitable place for her to focus on her studies. During this time, she had experienced a breakthrough in her learning and had not touched a paintbrush for quite a while. Worried that her skills might dull, she instructed her assistant to set up an easel in Ye Bing's room, committing to paint a picture every day.
The subjects of her paintings were varied, ranging from the changing landscapes outside the window to the various decorations within the room. And there was one constant: the only human model lying on the hospital bed. Although he remained in the same position with the same expression, it did not hinder Zheng Mengni from capturing his likeness vividly on paper. After all, he was merely a model for her practice; she didn't mind as long as she could use him.
The room was filled with a thick stack of drawings, and as summer vacation drew to a close, Ye Bing still showed no signs of waking up. During this time, Zheng Zeqi visited almost every day, while Zheng Yicheng came by occasionally. Sun Yao, despite being unwell, managed to visit two or three times.
As time quietly slipped away, Zheng Mengni spread her paintings across the floor, covering the entire room. She noticed that her painting skills had improved significantly without her even realizing it. Excitedly, she began to hum a little tune. At first, it was just a soft murmur, but soon she found herself wide-eyed with surprise as she gradually let her voice out.
She... could sing?!
Ah! In the past, it would take her ages to find the right pitch when singing. But now, she was hitting all the notes perfectly. How wonderful! Thankfully, she had persisted in practicing and had Wei Jingxi’s unwavering support and guidance along the way. Maybe she wasn't such a terrible singer after all!
Zheng Mengni loved singing, even if she used to be off-key all the time. Back then, she had cared too much about her image and wanted many fans, which was why she had hired someone else to sing for her.
If she continued to persevere, perhaps she could truly gain fans who belonged to her. Zheng Mengni thought it was a beautiful idea, closing her eyes and swaying her head, lost in the melody of her own enchanting voice. She paid no attention to the person lying on the bed, whose eyelashes fluttered slightly in a state of unconsciousness.
On the eve of the new school term, Zheng Mengni sought out Gao Lei. From the manager, she learned that Gao Lei had resigned from his job at the club and had recently passed an interview at a high-end restaurant. With his handsome and striking looks, Gao Lei could have easily worked in the front of the house. However, the restaurant manager, noticing his hand had a deformity, worried it might scare customers when serving food, so he was assigned to the kitchen to wash dishes instead.
Zheng Mengni had arranged to meet Gao Lei after his shift, but Shen Die insisted on enthusiastically sharing her latest find and insisted that Zheng Mengni see it for herself. Thus, before meeting Gao Lei, Zheng Mengni first visited a few charming young men and had so much fun that she lost track of time. It was an hour past their agreed meeting time when she finally arrived. Out of courtesy, she bought a small gift for Gao Lei and didn’t mention her tardiness.
Shen Die was curious about who could make Zheng Mengni so disciplined that she would leave in the middle of her fun. She followed closely behind Zheng Mengni, eager to find out.
As soon as they entered, Shen Die realized it was the male escort she had introduced to Zheng Mengni during their last visit to the club. He looked quite presentable but was rather awkward and lacked the charm to entertain customers. Logically speaking, such a dull companion would be tiresome after just one encounter. Yet he managed to attract Zheng Mengni's attention enough for her to seek him out again; he must possess some unique qualities.
Zheng Mengni sat across from Gao Lei, handing him the gift with a bright smile that lit up her eyes, gentle and beautiful. "This is for you. Do you like it?"
Gao Lei reached out with his left hand to accept it, looking somewhat shy as his heart raced with warmth. "I really like it, thank you."
