Chapter 1313: I Wish You Well

The next day was Valentine’s Day.

She didn’t have any classes the entire morning.

She took out her easel and carried it on her back, and held some paint and brushes on her hand.

It had been a while since she went outside to do some landscape paintings, so she planned to head out to the Namu River since the weather was good and the skies were clear.

She really liked the scenic spots along the Namu River and she thought of these as the most beautiful parts of Ye City.

She realized that this place wasn’t as lively as she remembered from her previous time here. The chilly weather coupled with the strong winds that blew along the riverside deterred many people from staying long by the riverside.

She enjoyed this quiet environment because a noisier environment would affect her concentration.

She placed her easel in a spacious area and prepared her paints and brushes.

Landscape paintings didn’t have to be as detailed as sketches or drawings done with color pencils. Instead, the emphasis was on the techniques and skills used in the painting and how the painter brought out the depth of the scene, captured and painted the elements of the scene.

She started with the sky because the color of the sky and clouds could change in an instant. She would even have to capture this scene in her mind and paint from memory on some occasions for the scene would pass if she hesitated. Next, she painted the row of houses that lined the riverside in neat parallel rows. These were the most luxurious mansions in Ye City. She only started painting the river after she was done painting the houses, skies, and clouds. Then, she moved on to painting the nearby scenery, such as the willow trees by the river, the stone steps, and…

She suddenly stopped as she painted the stone steps and rose to her feet to take a closer look at the couple who sat on the stone steps. They were several dozen meters away so she could only see their back view. The man held his girlfriend tightly in his arms and their silhouette seemed very long under the sunlight. His girlfriend seemed very happy and even took out her phone to capture the scene. The gift that her boyfriend had given her was placed beside her. He had given her a bouquet of fresh flowers and a pink gift box. It wasn’t clear what lay within it.

He Xiyan suddenly pursed her lips and a small smile danced on her lips as she looked at them, her eyes shining with emotion. She was envious of their relationship and how they seemed very much in love.

Hmm… she wondered when she’d be able to be with the man she loved.

Did he receive her present?

Would he be surprised by it? Would he like it? And would he contact her?

The envious look in her eyes was replaced by a hopeful look.

She had been looking forward to getting to know him better and hoped that he’d fall for her ever since she met him.

Naturally, all she was looking forward to at the moment was a call or text message from him.

She took a deep breath and included the happy couple on the stone steps in her drawing. She was still smiling after she completed her painting.

“I wish you well!” she thought to herself.

She spent almost three hours doing this painting and after she finished painting, she had to rush back to campus to attend two specialized courses at 2 PM that afternoon.

She didn’t have time to bring her art materials back to the apartment so she carried them all to the lecture hall.

She knew that many of her classmates would skip school occasionally and some even did it on a regular basis, but she had never missed a single lesson, not even the unimportant basic courses.

She treasured every minute she had to learn because she had only managed to get into university after studying so hard for more than 10 years. She had also taken on loans and borrowed from friends to pay for her school fees, so she would be letting those who helped her out if she were to skip school.

She entered the classroom, but she had no choice but to sit right at the back again because she was late.

Han Danni, her ex-roommate, called out to her the moment she took her seat.
