The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter:69

Jiang Shuxuan's heart was in turmoil. If possible, he would rather bring her to his side earlier, than let the Gu family torture her like this.

“I will enter ..” Jiang Shuxuan let out a light sigh, a hand reached out to smooth his hair. Hot air emanated from his body, and as soon as his body instantly dried, his wet clothes came back fresh and clean without a speck of dirt on it.

Gu Xiqiao wiped her nose as she looked at him. Wh-wh-what for?

“.... to fight them?” Jiang Shuxuan saw that he was now warm, and felt his worries disappear slightly, but the murky look in his eyes remained.

“Really, you fought too much, too rudely. However, I am the one who oppressed them tonight. ”.

‘Then why are people injured and in distress, you?’

Jiang Shuxuan pressed his hand to his temple, and thought that perhaps his intelligence was not in the right condition right now, and decided not to argue any further. “Alright, let's go back first.”

Oh. Gu Xiqiao said softly with his head bowed, more obedient than usual.

Jiang Shuxuan pursed his lips, unfamiliar with his current attitude. He turned his head back to look at the gold-plated words, a glint of steel in his eyes.

The rain did not subside, and obviously the umbrella would not be able to cover two people. However, when the rain was about to touch the two, it seemed like it had instead hit an invisible barrier, slid off from it and fell into their surroundings.

The black car was moving slowly.

Under the rain in front of the Gu family home, a plaque reading ‘Gu Manor’ has been struck by lightning & mdash; it broke and lay in some parts on the ground.

At night, Gu Xiqiao slept soundly, even though he wished he could not sleep. He slept even better than before.

After sleeping, he went for a morning run as usual. Seeing him back, Madam Zhang immediately brought him a bowl of soup, urging him to drink.

Gu Xiqiao smiled at him, and drank the soup slowly.

He slept well, and he felt more relaxed after a good rest. The shadow that enveloped him from his previous life slowly receded. And in his new life, leaving the Gu family was not the end, but the beginning; the beginning of his life.

He didn't need to rush to class right now. In his spare time, he would only move tables and chairs, draw under trees, or write large characters. Occasionally, some birds would alight on her shoulders, but when Madam Zhang came, they would spread their wings and fly away.

Haha sat beside him, lazing on the grass.

Wu Hongwen was holding the sour plum soup made by Madam Zhang in his hand. He and Xiao Yun took turns spending time with him. Both of them could see that although Gu Xiqiao did not reveal much on his face, his heart was in deep turmoil. Wu Hongwen, who was usually very chatty, had also been very quiet lately.

The sun did not shine too brightly today, and a gentle breeze blew occasionally. Very nice weather rarely seen.

“You do not need to come here specifically.” Gu Xiqiao said suddenly, neither raising his head nor turning around made Wu Hongwen stop behind him. “I'm fine now, with you guys constantly coming to see me, I feel more depressed.”

From this angle, he could clearly see her expression that looked like it was carved from ice, her eyelashes waving lightly in the wind. The sunlight was not too bright, and Wu Hongwen felt a little dazed from the scenery, but he replied subconsciously, “No, I am happy.”

“Alright fine. Lefs go. ” Gu Xiqiao smiled, a resigned expression on his face as he kept his painting tools.

Due to the good weather, the streets of N City were crowded with people. There was also an artificial lake next to the road, and there were many boats floating on it, and people were also gathered in the shade of trees beside the lake.

[Daily Mission activated: Help the person shown, Shen Nianzhi]

[Mission completion reward: 20 points]

The system issued a sudden notification, and Gu Xiqiao froze, his eyes following the transparent arrow in front of him to find the purpose of the task.

There was a street artist by the lake, and to his surprise, it was a girl. Gu Xiqiao immediately glanced at the information sent to him by the system. The girl's name was Shen Nianzhi, an orphan at birth and had just finished his college entrance exam. She has become a street artist to raise her college funds.

After reading the information provided by the system, Gu Xiqiao suddenly recalled this person. In his previous life, Gu Xijin's talent in oil painting was very well known in N City, and the only person capable of matching his talent and popularity was Shen Nianzhi, who was the only one who could match his talent and popularity, who has a talent in Chinese painting. Gu Xijin was the most disgusting person back then, using Gu Xiqiao's painting to trample Shen Nianzhi under his feet.

Shen Nianzhi was someone who had the desire to trample over the group of people that were in front of him at this moment. He had just taken an A-level art test, and he did not have the funds to go to college and the fees were already very high. In addition to working every day at a fast food restaurant, he works as a street artist in his spare time, making money while getting to know painting tools to avoid losing time to make money.

When he first achieved a bit of results at the beginning, he was a little proud, to the point that he wasn't too interested in Gu Xijin, who was the same age as him. But the competition in the Fine Arts Academy had made him realize how stupid he had been all along.

A portrait had taken first place, and he had specifically looked at the picture. It was a simple yet meticulous painting – the lines are smooth and neat, rich but not too exaggerated. The painter has used the technique of realism, combined with skillful and subtle brush strokes to create stunning paintings.

Shen Nianzhi had never seen such a terrifying painting before in his life, and this made him even more convinced that the second placement he got was what he deserved. He knew that the difference between their skills was like heaven and earth, and from what he had heard from the dean, the person who sent the picture was a girl of his age, which made him even more curious.

However, the girl remained humble, refusing to participate in national art exhibitions, missing the opportunity to become famous abroad.

Due to the influence of the unknown girl, Shen Nianzhi no longer felt arrogant about receiving national awards. He gave up the opportunity to go abroad and instead began to hone his skills slowly, starting with becoming a street artist.

Of course, he still wanted to meet that unknown girl, but he never had a chance.

Shen Nianzhi was also someone who was respected by the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts because of his talent, so the dean's daughter was unhappy with him. He would take the time to humiliate him in front of people as he drew for others, and in honor of the dean, Shen Nianzhi would not take his actions to heart, he said, but this time it was too much & mdash; even for her.

Clearly knowing that Shen Nianzhi's talent lay in landscape painting, he had deliberately brought many people to paint their portraits.

Shen Nianzhi had patiently explained to them this fact, but a group of people refused to listen, causing a commotion that caught the attention of the other spectators. He knew that because of this, today would be a lost destination for him, and could only pack his equipment quietly. If he could not defeat them, the least he could do was avoid them, right?

But things could not go like this, he had already been bullied by them for three days in a row. If this continues then he needs to discuss with the dean. As he continued packing, he grabbed a chair, but was shocked when a pair of hands met him.

A pair of beautiful, clean, slender, very smooth and pale hands in the warm sun. He must have had a pair of artist hands. With such thoughts in mind, Shen Nianzhi could only look towards the owner of the hand. What kind of person would have this pair of hands, he thought?

Ignoring the views of everyone around them, Gu Xiqiao arranged the tables and chairs that Shen Nianzhi had kept.

At this moment, the young girl at the head of the group finally regained her senses from a daze, pointing towards Gu Xiqiao as she asked, “Hey, who are you? Are you looking for trouble! ”

The one who will paint for you. Gu Xiqiao replied lazily, smiling at the girl after she finished preparing the table.

Wu Hongwen also arrived at the same time, Gu Xiqiao had sent him to buy some Chinese painting tools. Fortunately, this was a commercial road, and it didn't take long for him to find the things he wanted.
