Chapter 64: I don’t want to help you. Bite me!
This was no coincidence. It had to be the same artist!
Ji Xiehan watched as Jiang Xingyu’s face turn pale from shock, then red from the excitement. Jiang Xingyu was genuinely excited, "I found her... I finally found her!
Wait, who painted it? There’s no name on it."
Ji Xiehan leisurely reclined in his chair and replied languidly, "That’s the interesting part. This is the only painting whose owner I couldn’t find out."
Actually, he had only looked for those paintings because he wanted to take a glimpse at Li Lanni’s entry. But when he was scrolling through the paintings, he happened to see "Moonlight." He then recalled Jiang Xingyu telling him about Moonlight so many times that his ears almost grew calluses. But to his disappointment, the painting was incomplete, and it’s owner seemed to very mysterious and had vanished into thin air. It piqued his interest. He wondered if both were the same painting.
Jiang Xingyu’s excitement dimmed when he heard that even Ji Xehan couldn’t find him.
"Wait. We can ask the other contestants. They will surely know. How about we ask your Lanni?"
"She wouldn’t know. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t tell." It would be good enough if she didn’t ignore him. Most importantly, he didn’t want his Lanni to be bothered.
Jiang Xingyu had known his friend for over two decades. He would be a fool if he didn’t understand that expression on his face. "Damn you, Ji Xiehan. You just don’t want to help me, right?"
Ji Xiehan rolled his pen, completing ignoring him. His expression seemed to say, "I don’t want to help you. What can you do? Bite me if you dare."
Jiang Xingyu was almost angered to death when he saw his expression. Just let it be. He should have been used to it by now...
