23 What Are The Most Beautiful Things That You Had In Your Mind?

"Hey, where did you bring Xue Mei last night?" he asks while crossing his arm around his chest.

"Huh?" He turns around to look at Xui Li for a bit before he diverts his eye back to his room.

"Just strolling around the city." He says casually and looks at Xui Li's Bandai collection inside his glass rack.

"Really? If so why she returns at dawn?"

"Xui Li, are you his brother or what? And by the way, how did you know she returns at dawn?" Again, he turns to him.

"Well, she's my dormmate. And I just happen to bump with her when she returns this morning." He stuttered a little and sit on his bed after that.

"You don't have to worry. She is my partner for this festival project. So in the next months, she might be always busy with me. Rest assured I will not exploit your little dormmate."

Xui Li did not say anything. However, knowing that these two will be always together to finish up their project makes him a bit uneasy.

"You know, sometimes I wonder, are you really the youngest child in your family? Because you act more like a big brother to your girls here."

"Protecting girls is our duty as a man. Not base on who you are."

Ren Zhi chuckles a bit. "Such a gentleman you are."

..

Both of Xui Li and Ren Zhi were playing some video games when suddenly Xue Mei pop out from the door.

"Hey Ren..time to work. Let's go."

Both of them turn to look at her. This time, she just braids her hair to the side and wears her short jumpsuit. She looks childish but she looks cute with that outfit.

"Done?" He looks at her. A bit impressive when she only takes around 30 minutes to dress up.

"Yeah."

She picks up Elle which are now rubbing her head to her legs.

"Aww..baby, sorry mommy a bit busy lately. Once I've done with this festival, mommy promise to buy you a lot of yummy food okay?" She also rubs her nose with Elle's.

"Is this your cat?" Ren Zhi went to her after he exits the game.

"Yup." She holding Elle in her arm. Ren Zhi also rubbing her tummy with his hand.

"She's fluffy."

Xue Mei just smiles. Her cat is really fluffy and fat.

"Elle..come here to papa..let your mommy do her work." Xui Li call Elle.

Hearing Xui Li's voice, she immediately jumps from Xue Mei's arm and went to Xui Li.

Xue Mei and Ren Zhi were a bit surprised by what Xui Li address himself to Xue Mei's cat.

"What?" He asks when seeing both of them staring at him.

"Papa? Seriously, dude?" Ren Zhi laughs.

"Hey, …she spend most of her time at my room okay.. she also befriends with Milo and even sleeps together. Of course, I can address myself as her papa."

Xue Mei did not laugh, but she smiles a little. "Well, behave Elle. don't make trouble to your papa."

She turns to Ren Zhi and says. "Let's go."

He nod and both of them went back to her room. He uses the stair to return back to his room and ask her to wait for him at the outside of the dorm.

When she went downstairs, Luo Hui stares at her like she was a bit afraid.

"Is there anything that you want to tell me, sis Luo?" She asks when she feels like she wants to says something to her.

Luo Hui is a bit hesitant, but then she went to her and pat on her shoulder.

"Just my advice. If he is your lover, I should warn you that he is impossible for you."

"Huh?" She did not understand what she trying to say.

Shake her head, she smiles and says "Never mind, ignores what I said." she went upstairs leaving Xue Mei dumbfounded a moment.

She shakes her head and wears her shoes before she goes out of the dorm.

Ren Zhi waiting for her with his black Audi in front of the dorm. Get inside his car, he drove off to the city.

"Hmm..where do you want to take me actually?" She asks after he took a road to the city.

"Somewhere that we can find a good view to draw."

"The tools?"

"Inside the trunk."

"Okay." she nods her head.

Ren Zhi drives for about one and half hour before he stops at the side of the road. The surrounding is quite a gloom with only light from the light pole and his car.

She takes off the seat belt and opens the car door. They are now at a high place a bit far from the city but they can see the view of the city from this place. It such beautiful scenery.

"This…"

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Ren Zhi standing beside her looking at the city view.

"It is." She speechless and she immediately took out her sketchbook and her charcoal pencil.

Ren Zhi knows what she was doing and he let her take her time to sketch the view for her little brother. He went to the car trunk and take out the blank canvas and the stand. He brings two sets of it. He arranges the color on his car bonnet.

He starts first to paint his drawing. He likes to use acrylic paint instead of charcoal.

"Xue Mei."

"Hm?" She did not turn to him and still focusing on her sketch.

"In spring, what are the most beautiful things that you had in your mind?" he also did not turn to her.

"Flowers, insect, all the greenery."

"Insect huh?.."

"What kind of insect that you like the most?" He asks again after they silent for a moment.

"Erm…let see…butterfly?"

"And why is that?"

"They had a beautiful color, but unfortunately they only had a short life. Even though they have a short life, they enjoyed their days and keeps coloring the world." She smiles when she hears her own reason.

"Hmmm…..acceptable."

"Eh, why did you ask?"

"I want you to use your charcoal sketching skill to draw a live butterfly. Can you do it?"

"Tch! Easy. Why not ask me to draw the whole city?"

"Well, that is my job to paint it."

"Wait, we make two types of drawing?"

"Just do as I say."

"Hmmph." She fluffing her cheek.
