SGSHE56

Xi Xinghe looked at the things in his hand and said, “Auntie, I’ll bring the water to Heguang first. Wait for me, I can’t understand what he is painting, so I’m very bored!” 

Xi Xinghe felt that the ‘rustic’ element in himself had increased. 

Jiang Shi was stunned: “Heguang entered the studio! Is he painting?” 

Jing Heguang had not touched a paintbrush for a long time, even longer than when he was depressed and didn’t want to interact with people. It was also because of his terrible work in the studio that aggravated his condition. 

Jiang Shi thought Jing Heguang would never enter the studio again. 

This country bumpkin did some tricks to convince Jing Heguang, right? Jiang Shi suddenly realized this. 

Feeling that Xi Xinghe might be more useful, Jiang Shi smiled even more graciously: “Then go quickly, I’ll make a fruit platter and wait for you to come down and eat together.” 

Xi Xinghe nodded and ran to the second floor. His footsteps sounded anxious and cheerful. 

*** 

Entering the studio again. Xi Xinghe put the water aside and said happily, “Heguang, you continue painting. Auntie wants to chat with me.” 

Jing Heguang felt a little headache when he saw how excited he was. 

He thought for a moment and said, “open the call on your phone. I’ll mute my voice here. If I hear something wrong from your end, I’ll go downstairs.” 

Knowing that Jing Heguang was just worried about him, Xi Xinghe agreed immediately, “Okay, I’ll make the call. Remember to drink the water, don’t forget.” 

After Xi Xinghe finished, he reviewed his character setting twice, then went downstairs to meet Jiang Shi. 

*** 

Downstairs, Jiang Shi had already made a fruit platter, which was beautiful and cute. 

When Xi Xinghe saw the platter that looked like a painting, he exclaimed in amazement: “How beautiful! Auntie, did you make this yourself? It’s amazing!” 

Jiang Shi smiled and handed him the fruit fork: “I learned a little while accompanying my two children to paint, and later I was able to make little things like this.” 

If Jing Heguang wasn’t in trouble now and had not suspected Jiang Shi, Xi Xinghe would definitely think that she was a good mother because she was willing to learn things for her children to paint. 

Because she did what many adults don’t have the patience or time to do – growing up with their children. 

Xi Xinghe felt like he had met a master, so he took the fruit fork and picked up three small strawberries with one fork, destroying half of the beauty of the platter. 

Xi Xinghe took a bite, squinted his eyes, and said happily: “Strawberries are so sweet! I haven’t eaten them for a long time. The prices have been rising and they are too expensive. I can’t bear to buy them myself.” 

After that, Xi Xinghe said enthusiastically: “Auntie, you eat too! Let’s eat together.” 

“Okay.” Jiang Shi smiled and forked a piece of pear, taking small bites, which was in sharp contrast to Xi Xinghe who was eating happily. 

Seeing that Xi Xinghe was only concerned with eating fruits and only picked the expensive ones, Jiang Shi rubbed her eyebrows silently, then asked, “Xinghe, did you persuade Heguang to go to the studio? He hasn’t been to the studio for a long time, thank you for persuading him!” 

Xi Xinghe finished the last strawberry and replied, “It’s because I mentioned yesterday that his paintings were beautiful, so he wanted to paint today.” 

“Auntie, I heard that oil paintings are very expensive. When Heguang paints one for me, can it be sold at a high price?” Xi Xinghe asked for advice with an eager face. 

Jiang Shi smiled and said, “Heguang’s previous paintings sold for over a million euros.” 

After a pause, she said disappointedly, “But it may not be possible now. His illness has affected his creation a little.” 

As Jiang Shi spoke, a look of sadness appeared on her face, “He Guang was not like this before. If it were before, he would definitely not let you carry so many things by yourself like when you came back in the morning. He used to be very considerate and gentlemanly, just like a real nobleman.” 

Jiang Shi looked at Xi Xinghe, “since you can persuade Heguang to go to the studio, can you help your aunt and uncle to persuade Heguang to see a doctor? His father is really worried about him, but he can’t bear to force him. When his illness is cured, it will be better for you too.” 

Xi Xinghe blinked, “Really? But he doesn’t seem to like hearing this? I said this yesterday, and Heguang went to sleep in the guest room.” 

Jiang Shi thought of last night when Jing Heguang ignored her. 

No wonder Jing Heguang ignored her, it turned out that she guessed wrong, now it made sense. 

Jiang Shi was just thinking about it when she heard Xi Xinghe ask in a low voice again: “Auntie, before was Heguang as generous as he is now?” 

Jiang Shi looked at him, then she lifted up her right sleeve, revealing a very beautiful purple jade bracelet. 

“Top-grade purple jadeite, it was my birthday gift from Heguang last year. If you can persuade Heguang to see a doctor, your uncle and I will reward you with 20 million!” 

Xi Xinghe’s adam apple slid, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, then he smiled and said, “There’s no need for any reward. Heguang is my husband, I will persuade him to see a doctor!” 

Xi Xinghe ‘heartbrokenly’ refused the 20 million, and pulled Jiang Shi’s right wrist with the bracelet on it and said, “Auntie, you should help me persuade Heguang, I think Heguang is quite easy to talk to!” 

“I said I wanted to buy more clothes in the morning, and Heguang agreed immediately!” 

… 

What followed after, Jing Heguang didn’t pay attention, he was laughing like crazy. 

Xi Xinghe is such a dramatic actor! 

From sleeping in the guest room last night to talking about buying clothes, he can make every detail make sense and sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. 

If Jing Heguang hadn’t been the person involved, he’s afraid he would have believed him! 

Jing Heguang laughed so hard that he almost let go of his paintbrush, so he simply put it down and listened attentively to Xi Xinghe’s performance. 

Speaking of paintbrushes, he has to mention one thing. 

In Jing Heguang’s mind, oil painting sounds like a very difficult art. 

As a result, after the first stroke, he still felt that it was very wrong; but after the second stroke, he felt like a ‘big boss’, and his consciousness seemed to know how to draw and plan! 

Now, as he was listening to the live voice from the call with a smile on his face, there was a cute tiger lying on the canvas on the easel. The tiger’s eyes are only black and white, but they are extremely lively, which is consistent with the original owner’s characteristics. 

While listening, Jing Heguang was glad that he had muted the sound in advance, otherwise Xi Xinghe’s perfect acting skills would have been exposed because of him. 

Of course, even if he mute it, he still can’t let go of the call. 

*** 

At this moment downstairs, Jiang Shi was trying hard to chat with Xi Xinghe, and the two were chatting quite lively. 

Jiang Shi also discovered that Xi Xinghe was able to pass Jing Yongyan’s test because he was not that stupid. 

Xi Xinghe must have lied to Jing Yongyan about something, but she didn’t care. She would keep Xi Xinghe’s secret strictly as she had promised verbally. 

Finally, Xi Xinghe finished the fruit platter and said with reluctance, “Oh, I forgot to leave some for Heguang!” 

When Jiang Shi heard this, she felt that although Xi Xinghe was not very smart, he was actually quite clear-headed and knew that the most important people to him were Jing Heguang. However, this is what she needs. 

Not all illnesses can be cured, especially mental conditions, which are even more uncertain. If Jing Heguang had gone to see a doctor earlier, he would have missed the top psychological therapist from a foreign institution that Jing Yongyan had asked someone to contact.

Jiang Shi smiled at Xi Xinghe and said, “What’s the big deal? Auntie will make another one. You can bring it to Heguang later. Eating more fruits is good for the body. He hasn’t eaten much fruit for a long time.” 

*** 

Xi Xinghe went upstairs with the fruit platter made by Jiang Shi. 

Jing Heguang put down the brush again and started eating his afternoon fruit. 

Jing Heguang tasted a strawberry himself and found it sweet, so he forked up the next one and fed it to Xi Xinghe, saying with a smile: “Want a few more? They’re quite sweet. The price won’t rise and it’s free.” 

After hearing this, Xi Xinghe was wondering why he kept saying he was reluctant to spend money on strawberries, and why he kept saying the word ‘husband’…all those words were heard by Jing Heguang! 

Xi Xinghe blushed and shook his head: “I’ve eaten, you eat it. This is specially brought to you.” 

Jing Heguang smiled and said: “You don’t have to eat it if you call me.” 

Xi Xinghe: “Heguang?” 

“That’s not it.” Jing Heguang shook his head. 

Xi Xinghe’s face turned even redder and he swallowed the strawberry in one gulp. 

After Jing Heguang teased him, he forked another one naughtily. 

Xi Xinghe opened his mouth and ate again. 

Jing Heguang thought: Isn’t this silly kid going to refuse? 

Jing Heguang smiled and fed a few more, then stopped when he thought Xi Xinghe might be full, because he heard Xi Xinghe ate quite a bit just now too. 

Since he feels embarrassed to call him now, then never mind. They have plenty of time to come. Eating too much can upset his stomach and is bad for his health. 

Xi Xinghe, who was still waiting to eat two more bites, started shouting: … 

Jing Heguang is so considerate! When he saw that he was unwilling, he didn’t force him, but he just watched. 

Seeing the dazed look on his face, Jing Heguang couldn’t help but wonder if he had fed him too much, and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you really eat too much?” 

Xi Xinghe:… “A little full.” 

As long as he said he was full, his stomach was full! 

Jing Heguang put down his fork, frowned, and reached out to touch Xi Xinghe’s stomach. He could feel that he was full, but not bloated. He guessed that Xi Xinghe’s appetite was average. 

Jing Heguang reached out his hand and gently rubbed his belly. After rubbing for a while, he asked, “Are you feeling better?” 

Xi Xinghe looked at Jing Heguang’s charming profile that was so close to him: “Ah?” 

He was so nice, no…it was his words that sounded so nice. Bah! It is gentle and considerate. Xi Xinghe didn’t hear what Jing Heguang said at all. 

Jing Heguang asked again: “Are you feeling better? I shouldn’t feed you so much. If you are full, don’t eat. You should refuse my inappropriate request.” 

Jing Heguang felt that being too good temper was not good. If Xi Xinghe couldn’t eat, he should refuse him. 

His little Xingxing has such a good temper, so he should tease him less. Jing Heguang told himself that he had to be more careful when he looked back. 

Xi Xinghe who was not full at all: !!! 

Here he is! Starting to flirt again! 

But the tone was too gentle, just like the action of rubbing his belly just now, which made people unable to think of resisting at all. 

Xi Xinghe said, “It’s a little better, but it still seems a little bloated.” 

Jing Heguang smiled and said, “Then I’ll rub you for a while.” 

After rubbing for a few more minutes, Xi Xinghe said he felt better. 

Jing Heguang said, “I have finished my painting. Can I borrow your hand? I want to see some new works and see their colors.” 

They were so close that Xi Xinghe was almost leaning on him. How could Jing Heguang miss such a good opportunity? 

Jing Heguang thought: He is such a scheming boy, he is deceiving little Xingxing. 

What Xi Xinghe was thinking in his heart was: Jing Heguang really loves painting. Even when he was touching his belly, he was still thinking about painting. So angry! 

However, Jing Heguang wanted to do something serious, so he should spoil him. 

Xi Xinghe nodded and said, “Okay.” 

Xi Xinghe patted the seat on his left, asked Jing Heguang to sit over, and then extended his left hand to Jing Heguang. 

At the same time, he took out his mobile phone with his right hand. Xi Xinghe didn’t want to look at the paintings with Jing Heguang. He was jealous of the painting today. 

Jing Heguang touched the phone in Xi Xinghe’s hand, then held the phone and Xi Xinghe’s hand together, and began to slowly look at the painting. 

As for how many minutes it stayed on a painting, it was definitely not because he was peeking at Xi Xinghe, but because he was admiring it for too long. 

Xi Xinghe thought so at first, thinking that Jing Heguang was looking at something he couldn’t understand, and maybe he needed to study the style, layout, etc. 

But after Xi Xinghe caught Jing Heguang peeking. 

You look at me and I look at you. 

Jing Heguang looked at him without dodging or avoiding, and smiled, “This is your fault. You are much more beautiful than the paintings.” 

Xi Xinghe humphed, “You only know how to flirt.” 

Jing Heguang: only know??? 

Jing Heguang thought about it for a moment, then slapped himself hard in his heart. 

—— His Xingxing took the initiative to hold his hand and hug him, but he is still only touching his little hand?! He’s so useless! 

After complaining about how careless Jing Heguang is, Xi Xinghe turned around and looked at the stupid pictures he was following. 

He didn’t expect a big hand to hold his head, and he heard a voice in his ear – “It’s my fault.” 

Then, he was kissed! 

It was really a bit sudden. After all, Xi Xinghe is just a big talker. He would blush for a long time every time he used the straw Jing Heguang used before. The thickness of his skin could not keep up with his imagination. 

What Xi Xinghe could think of was probably…Is the stimulation method really useful? 

What Jing Heguang was thinking was that his first kiss with Little Xingxing was strawberry flavored. 

The author has something to say: Kiss is here!
