The next morning, when Xu Qisi woke up, he found that almost his whole body was nestled in Ruan Wenxi's arms.

Although he and Ruan Wenxi slept in the same bed during this time, Ruan Wenxi kept a little restrained distance, and every morning Ruan Wenxi always got up earlier than him, basically when he woke up, the place beside him was already cold .

Xu Qisi blinked slowly, his brain was still a little dull when he just woke up, and it took a while to remember what happened last night.

Last night, he seemed to be on the spur of the moment, and kissed Ruan Wenxi forcefully at the hot spring, and helped each other a little with Ruan Wenxi after he got ashore, and even pestered Ruan Wenxi to ask for a kiss after returning to the hotel.

………………

Well, what a shame!

As the memory came back, Xu Qisi's cheeks flushed red, and his right hand involuntarily clutched the fabric in his hand.

Unfortunately, the fabric he touched happened to be the pajamas Ruan Wenxi was wearing.

"Xiaoqi is awake?"

A slightly hoarse voice came from the top of his head when he woke up in the morning, and Xu Qisi's palms tightened again. After all, he didn't dare to look up, and nodded slightly in Ruan Wenxi's arms.

After a while, there was another light laugh from above his head, and then he heard Ruan Wenxi's unhurried voice: "One night has passed, Xiaoqi finally knows how to be shy?"

"..."

Xu Qisi buried his head in Ruan Wenxi's arms again, "Woo...don't talk about it."

Ruan Wenxi felt the movement in his arms, but still couldn't hold back, hugged him, lowered his head slightly, and kissed Xu Qisi's hair tip lightly.

He said softly: "Xiao Qi cares about me, I feel it. Thank you, Xiao Qi."

After what happened yesterday, Ruan Wenxi finally figured out where Xu Qisi's occasional displeasure came from when he was sick.

In fact, he never thought about it before, and he himself is also cautious and humble in terms of feelings.

But even if he realized it, he would not think about changing anything. In his opinion, Xu Qisi deserved all the precious treatment.

He never expected that his feelings for Xu Qisi would receive an equal response, he only wanted to have Xu Qisi by his side in his future life.

But Xu Qisi took the initiative to tell him down-to-earth last night that he could also get a warm response, and he didn't have to be so cautious.

This feeling is really strange and addictive.

So when he woke up this morning and felt the temperature in his arms, he didn't get up as anxiously as he used to, but just waited quietly.

Waiting for the person in his arms to wake up from sleep, waiting for his consciousness to return in a daze.

then.

Ruan Wenxi stepped back a little, facing Xu Qisi's bewildered expression when he raised his head subconsciously, lowered his head, and planted a gentle kiss on his lips.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

Xu Qisi realized what happened belatedly, his ears were still red, and he responded in a very low voice.

After the good morning kiss, it was inevitable that some inappropriate behavior happened early in the morning. Neither of them continued to get tired of lying on the bed. They got up to wash up together. By the way, they called the room service to bring breakfast. They planned to return to W City after breakfast.

During this gap, Xu Qisi finally calmed down and returned to his usual quiet and well-behaved appearance.

However, the distance between the two has obviously changed, breaking through the previous restraint and etiquette, the original pure atmosphere is much stickier.

Of course, both of them are happy to see their achievements.

In this sticky three days, the day when Mia held a private art exhibition finally arrived as Xu Qisi had been looking forward to.

The art exhibition is in W City, not too far from the small manor where Xu Qisi and the others lived, only a 20-minute drive away.

After estimating that it was almost time, Ruan Wenxi drove Xu Qisi with him.

The scale of the private art exhibition was not very large, so Mia held it directly in the yard of the manor she bought in W City.

Mia is not from W City, but she has settled here since a few years ago, so the manor is much larger than Ruan Wenxi, who only lives here once a year, and the yard alone has been decorated very delicately and luxuriously.

When Xu Qisi and Ruan Wenxi arrived, there were already several foreigners in the yard whom Xu Qisi didn't know. They were all Mia's friends in country L who were invited by Mia.

Xu Qisi has seen the invitation letter from Mia, which states that the theme of this private art exhibition is "growth", and the paintings displayed here are Mia's own paintings from different periods.

Compared with the "art exhibition", in fact, meeting here is more like participating in an exchange meeting and networking meeting.

Mia listens to friends' comments on her paintings, communicates with friends, and produces some collisions and sparks of ideas, which can be used as a learning opportunity for both parties.

In addition to communicating with Mia, those who can be friends with Mia are not too bad in painting, so there are a lot of talents in the painting field of country L gathered here, and they can also get acquainted with each other and expand their social circle.

In Xu Qisi's perception, this kind of activity was very similar to the various banquets and receptions that were often held in the family circle in the past.

But compared to those receptions, the atmosphere here is much purer. Everyone basically comes here for one purpose—to exchange ideas and techniques related to learning painting.

Mia was still discussing with another lady about the painting in front of them, and the rest of the people basically spoke words that Xu Qisi couldn't understand. He stood beside Ruan Wenxi and looked around, not knowing what he should do.

But before he had time to be dazed for a long time, he heard a familiar voice from the side.

"Ruan! Xu! You are here!"

Leon came over from not far away and waved to them happily.

Seeing someone he knew, Xu Qisi relaxed a little and greeted him: "Good afternoon."

Leon: "Good afternoon, Xu is still so cute today."

Xu Qisi gave an embarrassed smile: "Thank you, you are also very handsome."

Leon grinned and continued, "Mia is still busy, shall I show you around? There are also some English-speaking friends I know here. I told them about you, and they treated you I'm also very interested, and I just took you to meet them."

While speaking, Leon glanced in the direction he just came from.

Xu Qisi followed his gaze, and saw about three or four people over there, both male and female, and waved to him when he saw him looking over, they should be the few friends Leon mentioned.

He didn't know how to deal with such an occasion, so he looked up at Ruan Wenxi.

Ruan Wenxi said, "You can go with Leon, I'll go for a walk around, come find me when you're done."

"Ah..." Xu Qisi was a little at a loss, "Won't Wen Xi come with us?"

Ruan Wenxi smiled: "I don't understand the topic of painting very deeply, and it's not interesting to go there. It's just good for you to chat with each other if you have similar interests, and I won't get involved."

Speaking of this, Xu Qisi really couldn't continue to force Ruan Wenxi to go there with him, and he struggled for a while before finally agreeing: "Then, that's fine. I'll look for you again later."

Ruan Wenxi rubbed his head: "Yeah. Go quickly, don't make others wait too long."

Xu Qisi nodded obediently, reluctantly let go of Ruan Wenxi's hand, and went to the other side with Leon.

He was not used to facing so many strangers at once, but fortunately Leon was lively enough, so he first introduced them one by one in English, and also told them the things he was afraid of.

Xu Qisi kept his emotions as stable as possible and greeted them politely, but the bewilderment and uneasiness in his heart could still be seen through at a glance.

All the people present were at least five years older than Xu Qisi. When they saw him, they felt that he was like a helpless child who strayed into the social circle. They smiled kindly and responded to his greetings in turn.

After roughly recognizing the names and faces, Leon quickly found a topic they could both talk about and began to communicate with each other.

At first, Xu Qisi was still in a state where others asked him a question and he answered it. Later, under Leon's conscious or unconscious guidance, he gradually started to communicate more actively.

Those who can come here are at least well-known painters in country L, and they are not like Xu Qisi who stopped studying for a period of time. They have basically been on this road since childhood, and have accumulated a lot of experience and experience.

Among them, Xu Qisi, who was the youngest and had the shortest drawing time, also lacked these things the most.

The rest of them knew Leon's purpose of introducing Xu Qisi to them, and they didn't mind giving this polite and well-behaved child a little experience in this area.

After a few topics, Xu Qisi himself felt their care, and took this exchange as a learning session, calming down the original uneasiness in his heart.

He has always felt that he is lacking in many aspects, not because he is self-effacing, but because he is familiar with his works as a painter.

Perhaps he is really talented in this area, and even after such a long time interval, he can still amaze others with his works, but he is definitely not up to the level of someone who has worked hard for more than ten or even twenty years.

He has learned to accept other people's affirmation and praise for him, but because of the previous experience, he can also clearly distinguish the praise of appreciation from the praise of real admiration.

Xu Qisi maintained an open-minded attitude, his eyes were always clear and clean, with only pure thirst for knowledge, without any involvement of other interests.

Several people who communicated with him had a good impression of him because of his sincerity, and one of the women couldn't help asking: "Are you interested in exchanging contact information?"

Xu Qisi was flattered: "Yes, is it possible?"

The woman smiled: "Of course. I am also very interested in the culture of your Huaguo, maybe we can exchange topics in this regard."

"Okay, okay." Returning to the normal topic, Xu Qisi's restrained shyness resurfaced, "Just, um... as long as I know something, I will definitely tell you in detail."

"Okay." The woman smiled and exchanged contact information with Xu Qisi, and the rest of the people next to her also added it along the way.

Feeling their friendliness, Xu Qisi bowed again and thanked them for their advice just now.

Leon, who was standing next to him, patted him on the shoulder: "Your talent should be the best I've seen so far. If you can keep going, maybe you can really reach a level comparable to Ruan's."

Is it at the same level as Ruan Wenxi...

Xu Qisi couldn't help turning his head to look at Ruan Wenxi, who was talking with others, and slightly bent his eyes: "I will work hard."

Try to become a level that can match Ruan Wenxi in every sense.
