Quick Travel: Redeem the Villain

A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, which was the smell emanating from Huatan, fresh and elegant, making people feel relaxed and happy. Jiu Fuzhi couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the pleasure brought by the fragrance, his ears blushed slightly, he coughed lightly, and spoke uncomfortably: "Are you okay..." His voice was low and magnetic, but at this moment there was a hint of unnoticeable nervousness.

Hua Tan immediately turned around in panic and hurriedly went to greet the guest who had just walked in.

After Hua Tan greeted the guests, he turned back to look at Jiu Fuzhi, and their eyes happened to meet. Hua Tan's face suddenly became even redder, and he lowered his head and fiddled with the things in his hands.

Hua Tan watched from the side: "I made this wood carving myself..."

"Very exquisite." Jiu Fuzhi exclaimed, "You have excellent craftsmanship."

"Of course, many things in my shop are made by myself," Hua Tan said proudly.

……

The next night, after the restaurant closed, Jiu Fuzhi was about to go home. For some reason, his feet involuntarily walked towards Hua Tan's store. He didn't know why he did this, but when he realized it, he was already standing in front of Hua Tan's store.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and the raindrops gently fell on the ground, splashing tiny water droplets. Jiu Fuzhi stood quietly in the rain.

The rain fell in large numbers, and it became heavier and heavier, forming a hazy rain curtain. The raindrops hit the ground, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.

He was wet, but he successfully found an excuse to go into the store to avoid the rain.

Hua Tan brought a piece of soft dry cloth and handed it to Jiu Fuzhi. Jiu Fuzhi took the cloth and said, "Thank you for your help."

At this moment, their hands touched lightly. At that moment, it was as if time had frozen, and a subtle electric current spread through their bodies. Hua Tan's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heartbeat accelerated a bit: "No... no trouble..." Then she turned around and walked quickly into the inner room.

Jiu Fuzhi's fingertips seemed to still have some residual warmth, as if he could feel the warm and soft touch he had just touched. This feeling was like a breeze gently brushing across his skin, which made him feel a little strange.

Hua Tan came out again and handed Jiu Fuzhi a set of clean clothes.

Jiu Fuzhi changed his clothes and tried to find a topic. He saw a painting hanging on the wall, which showed a vivid peony in full bloom. "This painting is so beautiful." Jiu Fuzhi pointed at the painting and said.

"Well, this is what I drew a few days ago." Hua Tan looked in the direction where his finger pointed, a smile appearing on her face.

"You can also draw?" Jiu Fuzhi asked in surprise.

"It's just a hobby." In his previous life, he had won awards for Chinese painting.

"I didn't expect you to be so talented." Jiu Fuzhi praised sincerely.

"Thank you." Hua Tan was a little embarrassed by the compliment, "By the way, do you want to see my other works?"

"Okay." Jiu Fuzhi followed Hua Tan into the inner room, where there were many paintings that had not been displayed.

Hua Tan introduced each painting to Jiu Fuzhi, and Jiu Fuzhi listened attentively.

While appreciating the paintings, the two exchanged their preferences and insights.

During this process, Jiu Fuzhi found that his understanding of Hua Tan had deepened, and a corner of his heart seemed to be touched by something.
