You rascal, stop right there!

Suburbs of Zhengzhou.

Snowflakes are flying.

The day to see Ling Shumo off has arrived.

The man in green had already gotten into the carriage and was still waiting in a daze.

Ah Yan looked at him and said, "Master, you didn't wait for me last time when I left! I've been waiting for an hour this time. I'm afraid Mr. Bai won't come to see me off!"

Ling Shumo said with a smile: "Last time it was due to official business, this time..."

"It's not official business this time?" A Yan choked back.

Ling Shumo was silent for a while: "Different official business..."

At this time, there was a young man in white fur coat under the plum tree, who smiled at him gently.

He took a few steps and leapt in front of the carriage.

"Mr. Bai, you are really good at procrastinating. It has been such a long time! It's a good thing that my master is willing to wait for you!" A Yan said dissatisfiedly.

Bai Wan smiled and said, "It's my fault! It's all the fault of that old man from Bai Ri Xuan. He was so slow to buy something."

Ling Shumo looked at him: "Are you blackmailing someone again?"

"How can that be possible?" Bai Wan raised an eyebrow guiltily, "I just want to ask that old man for a discount."

That old man!

We agreed to give you a 50% discount, but you insisted on bargaining it down to 46%!

Another day, I have to cut all his beard and hair in the middle of the night!

Then he took out a seal jade from the towel. It was a light green jade with a soft color and as smooth as a mirror.

Not only that, there is a single lotus on top, which is exquisitely carved and naturally beautiful.

"Last time I saw that one corner of your seal was broken, and the lotus brush you gave me before also had a lotus flower on it. So I picked this white jade lotus seal especially for you."

Bai Wan smiled proudly: "Well, I am quite nice, right?"

Ling Shumo touched the object lightly with his fingertips and lowered his head slightly, feeling warmth rising in his heart.

"Thank you!" His smile seemed no longer so indifferent.

Standing in the distance, A Yan saw the two of them smiling at each other.

He always wondered if he was dazzled, as he actually felt like they were a couple of gods in a painting.

Hallucination… Hallucination… Hallucination…

The white pea on this end was actually a little stunned.

Yes, Ling Shumo was born to be independent and aloof. After spending a long time with him, he almost got used to his appearance.

I almost forgot that I once thought this person was a beautiful prostitute in a brothel.

Then, Ling Shumo took the seal and nodded.

As if he had made up his mind, he said to the man, "I want to tell you my true identity. Are you willing to listen?"

Bai Wan smiled, and her voice was a little different from usual: "I know, but don't tell me, because I can't bear it now."

Both of them are smart people, so it's understandable what is being said.

Ling Shumo knew that this person seemed carefree on the surface but was actually worried about something, but he didn't expect that he had already known about it.

He seemed a little flustered: "When did you know? Have you recovered your memory?"

Bai Wan was just about to tease this man with a smile, but saw that his eyes looked a little worried.

So, this fellow was sympathetic and said, "You and Luo Wenqi are both one of the three saints of Daying Art Academy. How could you both know me by such a coincidence? And you didn't dare to tell me by such a coincidence! And you are still so concerned about whether my right hand can paint."

Then, he quietly stepped forward and said, "Brother Zichen, I'm not stupid!"

Ever since he learned that Luo Wenqi was one of the three saints, he felt something was wrong.

Knowing that Brother Zichen is one of them, I am even more suspicious.

He knew that these two people had good intentions in hiding the secret from him.

Ling Shumo's face did not look very good. In fact, he was in a heavy mood, feeling that this man seemed to want to do something he could not predict.

"So, you want to take the exam to become a court painter, and go back to the painting academy and the capital."

His voice was very soft, but his jade-like face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

Bai Wan laughed happily: "The legendary painting saint! I want to know if I can really become him."

"It's not about becoming him. There's no him. It's just you!" Ling Shumo stared at him in a daze and said sternly.

The ruffian, who rarely looked serious, took a step back in shock at the harsh voice.

"Brother Zichen, are you angry?" Bai Wan widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

"I... didn't..." Ling Shumo's face was covered with a layer of frost and he pursed his lips.

If you are angry, then be angry. Why are you being so stubborn? !

Bai Wan felt tired when she looked at this man.

But what's there to be angry about?

Compared to five years ago, I am a rookie now!

It’s God’s will!

Who knew that after all the twists and turns, I would end up as a painter?

Bai Wan didn't want to know more about Han Miaoran's affairs, he would rather remember them himself.

Because he knew that when his close friends saw him become what he is now, it would be like a knife breaking their hearts to talk about his past.

So I didn't force it, nor did I want to ask about Ling Shumo and Luo Wenqi's past.

As long as our friendship remains, nothing else matters.

"Brother Zichen, wait for me in the capital. When I pass the examination to become a court painter, I will go there and hug your thighs right away."

Bai Wan said to the man with a playful smile.

"Of course, even if I don't pass the exam, I will still cling to you!"

The man stepped forward cunningly, and his gaze immediately met the gaze of the person opposite him.

Ling Shumo stared at this person and felt that five years ago and five years later seemed to overlap.

……

That year, Beijing.

The person in the carriage is Brother Yuebai, and the person under the carriage is myself.

Brother Yuebai said:

"Brother Zichen, wait for me in the capital. When I draw the best picture in the world, I will definitely come to find you!"

"Of course, if I can't draw it, I will ask you for advice!"

……

However, I never saw this person again after the snow that year.

Ling Shumo couldn't help but cover the hand of the person in front of him, and his eyes seemed to have seen five years of worldly affairs.

Bai Wan was startled and felt something was wrong.

The light touch of the fingertips seemed to carry a hint of attachment and an indescribable affection.

His face suddenly turned red and he pulled his hand away in embarrassment.

cough--

Bai Wan coughed lightly.

"Okay, then I'll go back first! Brother Zichen, have a safe trip!" he said.

When Ling Shumo raised his eyes, the man was already walking forward, looking a little dazed.

Unexpectedly, Bai Wan came back after just a few steps.

The man suddenly took out a white jade pendant from his waist cunningly.

The man raised his eyebrows, stuffed the jade pendant directly into Ling Shumo's hand, and said cynically:

"Also, if you don't have enough money on the road, you can always pawn this to exchange for cash!"

Bai Wan felt that he had thought very carefully. The extra jade pendant he got from Bai Rixuan could definitely be exchanged for a lot of money, which was more convenient than carrying silver.

Then, the ruffian finally ran away in three jumps and one step.

Ling Shumo looked at the white lotus jade pendant in his hand, feeling a little confused.

His face turned red and white, and he was embarrassed and didn't know how to react.

The White Lotus Seal could be considered a gift of friendship, but this White Lotus Jade Pendant...

Does this person know what this white lotus jade pendant means?

Ling Shumo hesitated for a moment, but couldn't bear to let go of the jade pendant and quietly held it tightly.

It seems like something is growing wildly in my heart, out of control...

The so-called white lotus root jade pendant symbolizes a perfect match made in heaven, a fate that will last a hundred years, and this love is witnessed by heaven and earth...

Anyone who knows a little about the meaning of gift giving should know that this is a token of love.

"Master!" A Yan looked at Ling Shumo who was still in a daze.

"Mr. Bai is really thoughtful. This jade pendant looks quite valuable. Do you want me to help put it away?"

……

"I'll keep it myself." His eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a hint of tenderness and throbbing, "I'm afraid you'll break it!"

A Yan muttered that he had never broken anything belonging to adults!

The people in the carriage raised their eyebrows and lowered their eyes.

Ling Shumo looked at the falling snow outside the window, landing on the roadside plum trees, as if the fragrance had been ingrained into his bones for years.

Some things seem to have been too much of a habit in the past, but I didn't realize it.

For example, you think you are a good friend, but...

But as long as it is this person, it is ridiculous!

He never thought in his life that this day would come.

what to do……

Because it's you, I agreed!
