Chapter 165 - Portraits

"You can just draw these for us one by one." Xiang Chen Xi said to the artifact owner.

"Let me go around!" Otherwise, it would be meaningless! " However, Tao Chu Liang hurriedly stopped her. She squatted down, reached out her hand, and turned the needle. The needle began to spin rapidly, but stopped at the picture of the swallow.

Then the candy seller scooped out the syrup from the bowl, placed a candy bar on the chopping board, and poured the syrup onto the pure white chopping board. The candy seller's hands started moving quickly, slowly turning into the shape of a swallow.

"It looks like it!" Tao Chu Liang looked at the Seller's skilled movements and the life-like swallows on the chopping board in shock.

Seeing her so happy, the corner of Xiang Chen Xi's mouth curved up into a smile. Her smile rippled in his mind. Finally, Xiang Chen Xi turned around and went to look at the picture of a small house.

Xiang Chen Xi paid the money and took the bird, preparing to eat it. When he turned around, she saw a little boy staring straight at the sugar swallow in her hand.

The little boy shook his mother's hand and said coquettishly, "Mom, I also want that sugar figurine that Grandpa painted."

Xiang Chen Xi looked at the mother and son duo, both of them dressed in simple clothing, probably from families that came to the capital to work.

The mother of the little boy looked at the candy seller and said to the boy, "Lan, children who eat too much sugar tend to have tooth decay. It's better to eat less. Be obedient." As he spoke, he pulled the boy and was about to leave.

The boy followed his mother, but from time to time he looked back. Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi could both see that his mother was actually unwilling to spend the money.

Tao Chu Liang suddenly chased forward and squatted in front of the little boy. He said to the little boy: "Little friend, I want to use this sugar swallow to exchange for the pebble in your hand, is that okay?"

The little boy blinked and looked hesitantly at his mother. His mother was also a little embarrassed as she said, "Miss, this is too embarrassing. Let's just forget about it."

Tao Chu Liang laughed: "I feel that the pebble in his hand is special, this can be considered fair." With that, he gave the sugar swallow in his hand to the little boy.

Seeing that his mother did not say a word, the little boy happily gave the pebble in his hand to Tao Chu Liang.

"Lan, hurry up and say thank you!" The little boy's mother was a little embarrassed.

The boy smiled, showing two rows of white teeth, and said sweetly, "Thank you, sister!"

Tao Chu Liang rubbed the little boy's head as he watched him and his mother leave.

Xiang Chen Xi walked over to Tao Chu Liang and handed the little house over to her, then asked: "Why didn't you give it to him directly?"

Tao Chu Liang took a bite of the candy and said: "Since he was young, I have to tell him that we can't accept charity from others for free, otherwise, if we were to develop inertia, he would take it for granted that others would give him something in the future. Now that I've taken this pebble that he likes, it's also a kind of equivalent exchange! "

Xiang Chen Xi laughed, "Seems like the teachers and teachers of the people are really good at educating children!"

The two continued to stroll on the street, talking and laughing. When they arrived at a clothing store, Tao Chu Liang showed interest.

"Antique rental!" It should be fun, right? " Tao Chu Liang's face was filled with eagerness.

However, Xiang Chen Xi pulled a long face, telling him to wear those strange clothes.

"This clothes should be very suitable for you, right?" Tao Chu Liang pointed to a white gown, the sleeves of which were inlaid with two beautiful lace.

"No."

"Quick, put it on and take a look!" Tao Chu Liang directly stuffed the clothes into Xiang Chen Xi's hands.

"…" Xiang Chen Xi helplessly looked at the clothes in his hands, then looked at Tao Chu Liang's fervent gaze. He really couldn't reject her request, so he could only take the clothes and enter the changing room.

By the time Xiang Chen Xi finished changing his clothes and came out, Tao Chu Liang had already changed his clothes. She chose a set of aqua green clothes and casually tied a belt around his waist. The makeup artist inside the shop was giving her a bun.

"You look really handsome!" Tao Chu Liang shouted towards Xiang Chen Xi.

"Sir, this way please. We'll help you with your hair." A shop assistant said to Xiang Chen Xi.

Xiang Chen Xi frowned: "You still want to fix your hair?" When he turned his head and saw Tao Chu Liang staring straight at him, he had no choice but to compromise.

Seeing that Xiang Chen Xi was actually so obedient as to let the makeup artist play with him, Tao Chu Liang couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Miss, your boyfriend is so nice to you!" The shop assistant who was putting on makeup for Tao Chu Liang suddenly said.

"Huh?" Tao Chu Liang sighed in shock and secretly glanced at Xiang Chen Xi. He seemed to be snickering, and Tao Chu Liang's face couldn't help but to turn hot.

After a while, the two of them were done dressing up and stood together. The man was cold and elegant, the man was valiant and the woman was agile and elegant, fresh and elegant. For a moment, everyone in the shop was dumbfounded. Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi also looked at each other in shock, their eyes filled with amazement!

"Oh god, isn't it too beautiful for you to wear old-fashioned clothes? If you were to travel to ancient times, you would definitely have three wives! " Tao Chu Liang was moved by Xiang Chen Xi's handsome disguise.

Xiang Chen Xi looked at Tao Chu Liang deeply, and did not speak.

"Miss, sir, you are the most sensible couple we have ever seen! Why don't we ask our painter to draw a picture for you all! " The person in the shop couldn't help but suggest when he saw the two of them being a perfect couple.

"Great!" Painting is much more interesting than taking pictures! " Tao Chu Liang agreed immediately. Xiang Chen Xi actually had a headache, especially when he thought about how long he would have to sit there for.

The painter was a young man in his twenties. He arranged for Tao Chu Liang and Tao Chu Liang to sit in front of a screen in the shop and started to draw for himself.

"Miss, please sit a little closer to this gentleman. Sir, please put your arm around this young lady's waist. " The painter began to arrange their positions.

He even needed to hug her waist? Tao Chu Liang was slightly nervous, but he didn't hesitate at all as his right hand directly held onto Tao Chu Liang's waist. Tao Chu Liang could feel her distinct bones on his waist, and his ears couldn't help but feel hot, yet he just sat there and didn't dare to move.

The painter looked at them and then drew a few strokes on his drawing board. This painting lasted more than an hour! Logically speaking, Xiang Chen Xi should have been frozen by now, but he had been holding onto Tao Chu Liang tightly from beginning to end, without any intention of letting go.

"Are you all right? Is it acid on the neck? " Xiang Chen Xi asked in a low voice.

Tao Chu Liang laughed, "I'm fine." Actually, she felt very satisfied to be able to sit beside Xiang Chen Xi like this.

The painter finally put down his brush, took the drawing paper off the drawing board, and said with a smile, "Sir, Miss, your painting is done, you two really match each other well! "How about this, this painting is a gift from me!"

"Really? Thank you! " Tao Chu Liang became even happier when he heard that this painting did not require any money. To her, he had to save a lot of money.

In the end, Xiang Chen Xi paid for the clothes and even bought a frame for the painting. The two of them held the wrapped painting and drew a picture of the antique shop.

"Wouldn't it be better if they took more pictures with their cameras?" Xiang Chen Xi said to Tao Chu Liang.

Tao Chu Liang looked up at him and said, "How can you be like that? "How cold the picture looks, it's still this painting that has more texture. Look, this painting makes us look good!" Tao Chu Liang pointed to the painting.

In the picture, Xiang Chen Xi was dressed in a white robe, appearing otherworldly. Tao Chu Liang's aqua green clothes made her look beautiful and enchanting, and Tao Chu Liang's hands were held together uneasily, placed on his lap. Xiang Chen Xi's hands on her waist seemed to be slender and powerful. Their eyes revealed an indescribable look. The entire painting was extremely vivid.

That's right, this painting seemed to be really attentive! Xiang Chen Xi looked down at the drawing in his hands, as if he felt that even if it was something he disliked, he would still be willing to do it for her, even if it was for the sake of the makeup clerk.

"As long as you like it." Xiang Chen Xi gently caressed her hair.

The two of them wandered around the ancient city.

"Where to next?" Tao Chu Liang stood at the entrance of the ancient city and asked Xiang Chen Xi.

Xiang Chen Xi pulled her into the car, and said to the driver: "Let's go to the rink."

"Skating rink?" Tao Chu Liang's eyes lit up.

When they arrived at the rink, Tao Chu Liang was ecstatic. She had never seen such a spectacular rink! Although it was a skating rink made of dry ice, it was still very beautiful. She couldn't help but want to rush out and lie down on the ice!

"It's too beautiful!" Tao Chu Liang shouted in surprise. Xiang Chen Xi looked at her excited back, his eyes full of love.

"Let's go change our shoes first. We can't just rush out like this, right?" Xiang Chen Xi said snappily.

The driver had already brought two pairs of skates from the carriage. Originally, Xiang Chen Xi felt that the skating rink's shoes were not very clean as someone else had worn them, so he had prepared them in advance.

"Sit down." Xiang Chen Xi pulled Tao Chu Liang as he sat down at the side, and then personally changed her shoes.

Tao Chu Liang looked around in embarrassment. The ice rink was filled with people, and some of them were even looking at them secretly. She suddenly felt embarrassed and said softly, "I'll do it myself."

Xiang Chen Xi didn't have any intention to let go at all, he quickly switched them between each other, and even put on knee guards for her. After doing all of this, Xiang Chen Xi finally started to change his shoes.

After changing into their shoes, Xiang Chen Xi and Tao Chu Liang stood up at the same time. In the end, Tao Chu Liang's body shook and he almost fell down! Xiang Chen Xi grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace.

"Are you alright?" You can't skate. Don't worry, take your time. " Xiang Chen Xi reminded.

Tao Chu Liang immediately felt that he was in a very awkward situation. He nodded and grabbed onto Xiang Chen Xi's hand, not daring to loosen his grip at all.
