Such an unspeakable matter.
When Lin Yu brought it up, Ye Mengfu felt as if a thousand-pound weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
She was even... a little moved.
Could Lin Yu really see through people's hearts so well?
From just her expression, he could read so much?
Was it like this with everyone... or just her?
Ye Mengfu: "!!!"
What nonsense was she thinking again?
The lingering effects of her dream must be messing with her! It had to be!
She quickly shook her head, trying to rid her mind of those strange thoughts.
Lin Yu watched her: "..."
Huh?
He had kindly spoken up for her.
What did shaking her head mean?
Not planning to tell the truth, but to make up a story instead?
That didn’t seem right.
"Did I misunderstand? This isn’t a gift for me?"
Lin Yu tried asking again.
If Ye Mengfu didn’t respond this time, he wouldn’t overstep again.
He’d seem like a self-absorbed fool—who even says things like that normally?
Ye Mengfu quickly nodded.
Then, remembering the context of Lin Yu’s words...
She just as quickly shook her head.
Lin Yu: "..."
Practicing neck exercises?
Or drawing a cross in the air?
Ye Mengfu knew gestures wouldn’t explain things clearly.
So she walked to the bed, slowly lifted the blanket, and retrieved a small cardboard box she had hidden earlier.
Receiving a "living" gift was a first for Lin Yu—like a bride stepping onto the wedding sedan for the first time.
A young girl’s thought process could be hard to decipher sometimes.
Ye Mengfu held the box, walked up to Lin Yu, and lowered her head as she handed it over:
"H-Here... for you..."
"Last time... you gave me... so..."
Lin Yu understood.
Even if her words were fragmented, he could grasp her meaning.
Getting her to speak this much at once was already an achievement.
"A return gift for the Wheel of Fate last time?"
"Thank you, Xiao Fufu. You really shouldn’t spoil me like this."
"Last time, I just thought that card was meaningful and wanted you to have it. It wasn’t really a gift."
"Can I... open it now?"
After receiving Ye Mengfu’s nod of confirmation, Lin Yu carefully opened the box with her help holding it steady.
Inside was a pink cage.
And inside the cage—a little white rabbit nibbling on a lettuce leaf!
Tiny, likely just a few months old.
Before opening it, Lin Yu had wondered if it might be a kitten or puppy.
Seeing the rabbit, he was genuinely surprised.
Then it hit him...
Ye Mengfu’s usual doodles, her reaction to the "Naruto" stickers...
Was this... her sending a piece of "herself"?
Maybe Xiao Fufu didn’t have such bold thoughts and hadn’t considered it deeply.
But subconsciously, she’d chosen a little white rabbit as her gift.
Honestly...
It was kind of touching.
"The rabbit... it’s... well-behaved."
"So... wanted to give it..."
Ye Mengfu stammered out the words.
At the same time, she peeked up slightly to gauge Lin Yu’s reaction.
"It’s adorable. Just as cute as the rabbits in your drawings."
"Thank you, Xiao Fu. I’ll take good care of her."
"This is such a surprise—no one’s ever given me a pet before."
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! The heartfelt gift resonates with the Joyous Sect’s Talisman Envoy, warming her heart and soothing her spirit!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
Another girl made happier by giving a gift that was well-received.
If he didn’t do something in return, Lin Yu would be wasting this precious gesture.
"Xiao Fu, can I borrow your art supplies to draw her?"
"She’s so cute—I’d love to capture our first meeting."
Lin Yu reached into the cage and gently stroked the rabbit’s head.
Snow-white and soft to the touch.
With the gift given, the weight on Ye Mengfu’s mind lifted.
Only then did she remember what Lin Yu had said when he knocked on her door.
She looked at him in surprise:
"Lin Yu... you can draw?"
They’d lived together for so long, yet he’d never mentioned it.
Even Ying’er, who knew him well, had never brought it up.
"I dabbled in it before. My skills are nowhere near yours."
"But seeing you draw and all the art supplies in your room made me itch to try."
"Since I’m free now, I thought I’d see if I can still put something decent on paper."
"If it turns out bad, don’t—"
Before he could finish, Ye Mengfu handed the rabbit back to him.
Then she hurried to her art supplies:
"I’ll get everything ready!"
Lin Yu: "???"
When it came to professional art talk, Xiao Fufu suddenly didn’t stutter?
...
Soon,
Ye Mengfu had prepared a full set of tools with expert efficiency:
An easel, drawing board, paper, brushes... everything needed.
Unsure of Lin Yu’s preferred style or approach,
she simply brought out most of the materials she had on hand.
As she moved to open the curtains,
Lin Yu stopped her:
"No need. The lighting now is perfect."
"Isn’t there a drafting lamp by the easel? I’d like to try working with that."
"For the rabbit, let’s just place her on the chair for now?"
Ye Mengfu didn’t question it, nodding and assisting without hesitation.
Only after replicating the [Brush of Divine Artistry] skill
did Lin Yu truly grasp
just how costly it was to nurture an artist.
The sheer variety of materials, the countless styles—
mastering even one required years of dedication.
Since [Brush of Divine Artistry] came from Ye Mengfu,
Lin Yu could fully appreciate the effort she’d poured into her craft.
This was his moment to showcase his skills—
no half-hearted doodle would do.
When Lin Yu picked up the charcoal pencil,
Ye Mengfu thoughtfully prepared both watercolors and oils, ready to assist.
She wasn’t sure which he’d choose, so she prepped both.
Lin Yu glanced over and said:
"Watercolors. They’ll work better for this."
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! Shared artistic sensibilities strike a chord with the Joyous Sect’s Talisman Envoy, deepening the sense of kinship!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
What Lin Yu chose to paint didn’t matter.
The key was—Xiao Fufu adored watercolors!
Then he added:
"Xiao Fu, could you mix some masking fluid for me?"
"Not too much—just enough for one piece."
"I want to try... the scraping technique!"
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! Professional artistry leaves the Joyous Sect’s Talisman Envoy utterly astonished!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
By now,
Ye Mengfu was fully immersed in supporting Lin Yu.
Just those two remarks told her—
Lin Yu wasn’t some amateur.
He had real, professional knowledge.
Now,
she couldn’t wait to see what he would create.

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.
