Trapped in a chaotic situation, the little beauty is kissed until she cries every night.

Chapter 226 Jun Yiqing Special Session
I woke up

Jun Yiqing discovered that the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

From the elegant art of Jun's painting exhibition, he arrived at a period of his youth that he least wanted to recall.

Only he himself knew how bleak and difficult the days were before a so-called commoner genius, a genius painter, became famous.

The young, talented painter had also experienced poverty before he rose to fame.

At this moment, the sky was filled with dark clouds, as if they could fall heavily and press down on people's heads. The rain poured down mercilessly, soaking the thin white shirt with its frayed edges.

Jun Yiqing stood at the crossroads.

I stared blankly at the white shirt, its edges frayed and soaked through by the rain.

I looked up and stared intently at the sky.

This was a painting he submitted during his youth, which was used in an interstellar competition. However, the painting he submitted was given a different name and became someone else's honor.

He wanted to seek justice, but was instead pinned to the ground and beaten up.

Indeed, it was the darkest period of his life.

They faced suppression from all sides, and their submitted paintings were repeatedly rejected or given different names.

The voices of the poor cannot be heard in the upper echelons of the competition.

Their condescending mockery treated his struggles as mere spice in life.

Jun Yiqing didn't understand why things were in this state. He had clearly dealt with all those who had suppressed him properly while his reputation was rising.

Why is this still happening?
Jun Yiqing couldn't understand it.

The icy rain pattered down his pale face and then slid down his cheeks.

This is the screen that Minghua saw as soon as she entered the game.

Another new male lead.

Her gaze swept quickly over Jun Yiqing, and she raised an eyebrow. This was a male lead completely different from the previous two.

It looks like a pitiful little thing.

Well!
Minghua smiled knowingly.

If that's the case, perhaps she can use a completely different strategy than others.

As Jun Yiqing was immersed in the rain, his gaze darkly fixed on the overcast sky.

Suddenly, a pale yellow umbrella appeared before his eyes.

It shields us from all the storms and hardships.

This is something that has never happened in my memory.

Jun Yiqing straightened up, turned around and nodded slightly to Ming Hua, who had never appeared before but had suddenly appeared.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Jun Yiqing's face showed just the right amount of doubt.

"My name is Minghua."

"You don't look too good."

Minghua's face showed just the right amount of concern. "Do you need any help?"

A completely different situation has arisen again.

Jun Yiqing couldn't help but wonder what kind of conspiracy was behind this.

I wanted to shake my head and refuse, but for some reason, perhaps I wanted to see what tricks he could come up with.

Jun Yiqing nodded, his voice gentle, but the last syllable trembled, revealing a hint of pitifulness.

"need."

Minghua's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly made a promise:
"I can help you."

“You really need money right now, don’t you? I can give you 30,000 star coins a month.”

"I'll cover all your food, drinks, accommodation, and transportation needs."

Anyway, the money in the game is worthless. Minghua just checked her account balance and she still has quite a bit of money.

Jun Yiqing's dark eyes grew even deeper.

If he had encountered such a situation when he was young, what choice would he have made?
The offer was very attractive, and Jun Yiqing didn't forget to ask:
"So what do you need me to do?"

"It's very simple."

Minghua's eyes crinkled into crescents; even though she couldn't see the level of favorability, she was self-aware.

At this point, the male protagonist's attitude towards her should be one of wariness and caution.

She needs to pretend for a while to get closer before revealing her true intentions, and then slowly boil the frog in lukewarm water.

The main focus is on control.

At this moment, facing Jun Yiqing's cold yet wary eyes, Minghua's lips curled into a slight smile, the kind that easily puts one at ease.

"I enjoy drawing, and I'm looking to hire a portrait model recently."

"I noticed your body proportions were very harmonious when we were on the way here, you are very suitable to be a model."

“That’s why,” Minghua said with a faint smile, lowering her head slightly to reveal a patch of her fair neck.

Is it really?

A hint of doubt flashed through Jun Yiqing's mind, but he said nothing.

With his innate talents, aside from living a somewhat impoverished life, no one could bully him.

Moreover, Minghua, who was standing in front of him at this moment, was fair-skinned and delicate, and was trying her best to show him a sense of friendliness.

Jun Yiqing did not believe that Ming Hua could harm him.

With a sense of uncertainty about what kind of big changes would come after agreeing to Minghua's request, and where fate would lead them?
Jun Yiqing's heart pounded for a moment before he nodded.

The clear, magnetic voice first uttered an "Mmm".

Then he spoke:
"I promise you."

"Really?" Minghua's face instantly lit up with a smile, her beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkling as if tiny stars were twinkling, making me feel inexplicably better.

All that could be heard was Minghua's joyful exclamation, as she clapped her hands happily in the air to express her congratulations.

"That's great."

Even after she finished speaking, the rain still hadn't stopped. Minghua looked at Jun Yiqing's white shirt, which was soaked by the rain.

He quickly showed his utmost care and concern.

"Let's go to the nearby shopping mall first, buy a couple of outfits to change into, and be careful not to catch a cold."

And you still don't have a firm grasp on this?

"Raise my favorability rating!" Minghua thought to herself, feeling incredibly encouraged.

Jun Yiqing nodded and followed Minghua as instructed, and the two walked together toward the nearby shopping mall.

The heavy rain continued to fall, and raindrops occasionally splashed onto the outer part of my arms.

But the downpour that belonged to Jun Yiqing had already passed.

Above his head, a pale yellow umbrella sheltered him from the wind and rain.

Jun Yiqing was a head taller than Minghua. He calmly opened his mouth and extended his hand to Minghua.

"I'll fight."

"Make it easier."

"Okay, thank you." Minghua handed the rainwater to Jun Yiqing as instructed.

The umbrella, which was originally balanced between the two, suddenly tilted, leaning towards Minghua's position.

Jun Yiqing's body was almost entirely outside the box.

Minghua frowned, about to say something, when they arrived at the mall.

At this point, saying anything further would be pointless.

Since that's the case, Minghua quickly reached out and pulled Jun Yiqing along to walk towards where the men's clothing was.

He quickly grabbed a few white shirts that perfectly suited Jun Yiqing's temperament and handed them over.

"Go inside and change quickly, we'll be back in the studio in a bit."

While Minghua was choosing a white shirt for Jun Yiqing, Jun Yiqing stood quietly watching Minghua from a short distance away.

He was isolated from the world, as if he were an outsider.

What was Jun Yiqing thinking at this moment?

He wasn't thinking about anything.

Just watching quietly.

It turns out that the hardships and darkness of my youth could have led to this situation simply by encountering different people.
Like a porcelain vase that has been smashed on the ground, picked up by a pair of hands and carefully repaired piece by piece.

Jun Yiqing couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.

When Minghua placed the clothes she had chosen in his hand, she gave a soft "hmm".

The sense of alienation has also dissipated considerably.

"I'll wait for you outside."

Minghua keenly noticed the change in Jun Yiqing's expression.

Suddenly, I felt there was hope.

She knew she hadn't made a mistake.

After Jun Yiqing changed his clothes and bought several other sets of clothes for easy changing, Minghua led the group toward the art studio.

At this moment in the game, the torrential rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, and golden light shone down on the world, bringing warmth to everyone.

*
The art studio is located in a park.

Outside the window, there is fresh air and beautiful greenery, with sunlight shining in at an angle, adding to the brilliance.

Minghua opened the studio door and gestured with her chin toward a spot in the center.

"This will be your workplace from now on."

"Don't worry, I usually draw very quickly. As a model, I won't make you stay in one pose for too long and get tired."

As she spoke, Minghua went to the back of the studio and brought over a new easel.

He raised his hand and nodded.

"If you have nothing to do, you can paint freely here."

"I'm very easy to talk to."

Minghua blinked at Jun Yiqing, looking charming and coquettish.

Jun Yiqing gave a soft "hmm".

His face still held that aloof and distant look, as if nothing had changed.

In fact, if Minghua were familiar enough with Jun Yiqing, she would have been able to sense the shock beneath the man's cold and aloof demeanor.

Jun Yiqing's gaze fell on the easel bathed in sunlight, which gilded it with a layer of gold.

Everything was so beautiful, it felt like a dream.

if……

If I had met such a person and experienced such a thing when I was young, what a wonderful scene it would have been!

Childhood trauma can take a lifetime to heal.

It's like a chronic ailment, usually inconspicuous, only occasionally surfacing in the dead of night.

Each stab pierces the heart, causing it to ache.

at this time
Minghua had already sat down in front of the easel with great interest, and casually moved her paintbrush across the canvas.

Her gaze swept over Jun Yiqing, and her light eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Jun Yiqing, please sit down over there."

"To celebrate your first day as my model, I'll paint a portrait of you."

Jun Yiqing, who was immersed in inexplicable sadness, snapped out of it, replied "okay," and calmly sat down in the model's seat in the center.

The man sat upright with his shoulders and back straight, his hands resting casually on his knees. His tall and handsome figure reminded Minghua of scholars from ancient times.

Jun Yiqing, however, possessed a scholarly air of aloofness and detachment.

Perhaps we could find a few sets of ancient Earth clothing for Jun Yiqing to try on; maybe it would have a unique feel to it?

Minghua had an idea in her mind.

His hand never paused in writing.

Her movements were incredibly fast, each stroke precise and quick. Jun Yiqing's eyes gleamed; just by looking at Ming Hua's gestures, he knew she was a highly capable person.

"All right."

With the final stroke completed, Minghua breathed a sigh of relief.

She was there to increase favorability and play a dating game; she didn't actually want to become a great painter.

There's no need to strive for perfection; every stroke carries a touch of freedom.

Chao Junyi waved to him.

"Come and see, do you like this?"
