Chapter 231 [Irresistible Sweetness 030]

Shu Tang rolled around on the bed with delight, then typed back: Okay.

She quickly put her phone aside, rushed into the bathroom to wash up, changed her clothes, and came out to see that Xiao Guxing had sent her a message six minutes earlier, asking if she had just gotten up and if she had eaten anything.

Shu Tang quickly typed a reply and sat down at her dressing table to apply a delicate makeup.

It was past 10:30 when I went downstairs.

Shu's mother was holding Xiaoxiao and watching cartoons. She looked at her and said, "If you had come down a little later, you could have had lunch."

"Auntie." Xiao Xiao waved to her, but didn't come over; she still couldn't bear to leave the cartoon.

"Why did Xiaoxiao come here?"

"Your sister-in-law brought it over this morning."

"Oh."

Shu Tang walked to the dining table and sat down. There were five plates and a bowl of porridge on the table. The breakfast was very exquisite and prepared according to the amount she usually ate.

But today she only ate three shrimp dumplings and drank half a bowl of lily and millet porridge before picking up her bag and getting ready to leave.

"Mom, I'm leaving."

"To the studio?"

“Yes.” Shu Tang patted Xiao Xiao’s head, then got into her own car and asked the driver to take her there.

She actually has a driver's license.

She got her driver's license when she was 20, but her older brothers took away her right to drive and told her that she could only go out by a driver.

There was no other reason than that she was a road hazard.

The year she got her driver's license, she crashed into four cars. Three of them hit utility poles, and the other one was a rear-end collision, but none of them caused any major traffic accidents.

The cost of repairing this car alone could buy a car worth over a million yuan.

That wasn't all. The following spring, she was hit by a car and was covered in blood from her arms, legs, and head. When she was taken to the hospital, her older brother happened to be in the emergency room at the time. When he saw her, he panicked.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious at the time.

After staying in the hospital for four or five days, she was taken back home, and her older brother immediately confiscated her driver's license, forbidding her from entering the driver's seat of any of the family's cars.

Although it wasn't her fault, it still gave the whole family a real scare.

So by now, she has completely forgotten how she drove.

After dropping her off at her studio, the driver went home. If Shu Tang needed him to pick her up in the evening, she would call him half an hour in advance.

Upon arriving at the studio, Shu Tang first sent Xiao Guxing her location, and then saw Li Shu, dressed in a neutral style, walking towards her.

“I see the potential of an ancient tyrant in you.”

"what?"

"He was so infatuated with beautiful women that he neglected state affairs."

Shu Tang rolled her eyes. "What do you mean? I usually come at this time too, okay?"

Li Shu nudged her with her body, "Hey, congratulations on winning the heart of a handsome man."

Shu Tang couldn't help but chuckle, grabbing her arm and whispering, "When I woke up this morning, I thought it was a dream. I didn't expect it to be real until I saw him message me saying we should have lunch together."

"You've got some nerve." Li Shu glared at her. "Cheer up, don't let him have you under his thumb."

"I know."

"You'd be a fool to know that."

"I'm not a fool."

"No one is more like it than you."

"Hey, why are you like this?" Li Shu couldn't help but chuckle and pinched her cheek. "I'm not teasing you anymore. You should hurry up and finish what you're doing, then go out to eat with your boyfriend."

Shu Tang slapped her hand away, "You're so annoying, you've ruined my powder."

The studio hasn't opened yet, and there's nothing much going on, except that they've invited reporters to do a promotional event that day, and the two of them are going to create a painting to exhibit on the opening day.

Shu Tang's painting is two-thirds complete, and it's not very complicated.

But Li Shu's oil painting is relatively more complicated, and she has been working on it for a while.

Around noon, Xiao Guxing arrived at the shop.

Looking at the interior decoration, he curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

The interior has an artistic atmosphere, elegant but not extravagant. There is a recruitment sign on the side of the entrance. The requirements are not particularly strict, but they only recruit recent art graduates or people with experience in mural painting, oil painting, and ink painting. The salary offered is indeed high.

Even the salaries for recent graduates' internships are not low.

The benefits are also quite good.

"Who are you?" A young girl dressed in punk style walked out, looking at him with a puzzled expression. When their eyes met, she suddenly realized, "Xiao Guxing? Are you here to see Tangtang?"

Xiao Guxing didn't recognize her, but smiled and nodded slightly.

“I’m Tangtang’s friend, my name is Li Shu, and I’m also a partner in this studio.” Li Shu pointed upstairs, “Tangtang is upstairs, on the second floor, on the left, in the Ranzi Room.”

"Thank you."

Xiao Guxing nodded again and walked towards the topic.

When he arrived at the ink-dyeing room that Li Shu had mentioned, Shu Tang was washing her brushes inside. She was still wearing her apron with paint on it, her hair was tied in a loose bun, and she was wearing an oversized blue-gray sweater and a pair of tall boots.

For some reason, the scene of her painting murals in Moscow suddenly flashed into his mind.

Just then, Shu Tang finished washing her paintbrushes and turned around to see the person standing at the door. She was startled, and after recognizing him, she glared at him and said, "You scared me! When did you get here? Why didn't you make a sound?"

"I just arrived." Xiao Guxing smiled and went inside. "The studio is nicely decorated."

"That's right." Shu Tang raised her eyebrows smugly. "This was Li Shu and my idea."

The designer then combined their ideas together.

"Are you done?"

"I'm done with work." Shu Tang put down her pen, took off her apron, grabbed her coat, and took Xiao Guxing's arm. "What shall we eat?"

"I've looked around, and there's a nice French restaurant, a Hong Kong-style restaurant, and a Japanese restaurant here. What would you like to eat?"

"It's Hong Kong style, I haven't had Hong Kong style food in a long time."

"it is good."

The two chatted and laughed as they went downstairs. When they passed Li Shu's painting room, Shu Tang knocked on the door and asked her a question, but Li Shu said that she would finish painting in the next two days and then order takeout, not wanting to disturb their date.

She's such a bright third wheel.

Shu Tang rolled her eyes at her speechlessly, but didn't insist. After leaving the studio, she and Xiao Guxing walked to the Hong Kong-style restaurant.

It wasn't far from her studio, less than a kilometer away. The two held hands and talked, and soon they arrived.

Shu Tang hadn't eaten much in the morning, so she was quite hungry and ordered a lot of American-style food with Hong Kong and Macau characteristics.

During their conversation, Shu Tang suddenly asked him when he was going back to Moscow.

Xiao Guxing pursed his lips and pondered, "I reckon I'll go there the day after your studio opens."

Oh, so you waited until her studio opened before leaving?
"When will you come back next time?" Shu Tang's feelings were a mix of happiness and disappointment.

Her studio has only been open for four or five days.

They've only been together for a few days, and they're already starting a long-distance relationship.

Wouldn't that be uncomfortable?
The countdown to the end is almost here! Thank you all for your support, my darlings! Mwah!
