When Lin Xiaowan arrived at Nanhu Road, she discovered saw that building no. 77 was called Unnamed. Unsure, she took a photo and sent it to Xiaohan along with a message.

[Lin Xiaowan: Is this the place? ]

[Xiao Han: Yes. Have you arrived? I ll come out and get you.]

Lin Xiaowan got out of the car and stood by the roadside for less than a minute before a tall boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out. He was wearing a dark sweater and a jacket. He looked around, and when he saw there was only one other person present, he quickly strode over to Lin Xiaowan.

At the same time, Lin Xiaowan was stunned.

Xiao Han is a man?’

When Xiao Han appeared in front of her, he smiled kindly, faintly revealing a canine tooth on one side as he asked, “Are you Lin Xiaowan?”

“Ah, 1 am,” Lin Xiaowan said, slightly embarrassed, “I thought you were a girl. ‘

Xiao Han laughed. “Why did you think so? This is the first time someone has thought so…”

Xiao Han usually posted a few photos in his social circle, and there were quite a few photos of him in the circle. As such, his gender was very obvious. It was the first time that someone thought he was a girl.

Lin Xiaowan did not know how to respond. When she heard the name Xiao Ilan1, she felt that the name belonged to a girl. Moreover, she usually did not post anything in her social circle so she rarely checked others’ social circles.

After the small interlude, Xiao Ilan led Lin Xiaowan into the studio and said, “This studio belongs to Teacher Hong. Many students usually come here for lessons or to practice before their exams. However , Teacher Hong herself rarely comes here.”

“I see,” Lin Xiaowan replied. She thought that the studio’s name, Unnamed, was quite interesting. She thought it gave off vibes similar to Untitled Poems’ by Li Shangyin.

The studio was decorated very tastefully. It was colorful, and there was a wall that displayed the students’ award-winning works.

As they chatted, Lin Xiaowan discovered that Xiao Han had already graduated. She assumed he was still a student due to his youthful appearance. She said, “You’ve graduated? Then, I’m not disturbing your work, am 1?”

“No. Moreover, most of my work is done here.”

They walked to the end of a corridor and turned a corner before entering a small room with a huge window facing north. The room was not tidy. The faint smell of sandalwood mixed with paint and thinner permeated the air, and painting tools and various materials were scattered around the room. Many paintings were also hung on the wall. Although it looked messy, everything seemed to have its own order. Two easels were lined in front of the window, and the canvasses on them had already been painted on.

Xiao Han planned to familiarize Lin Xiaowan with the basic tools first so he brought three pieces of paper out and said, “Feel it, and see what the difference is…”

Lin Xiaowan touched them carefully and said, “This one seems to be smoother…”

“You’re right,” Xiao Han nodded before he explained, “Watercolor paper is usually divided into three types. The one that feels smoother is called wood pulp paper, and it’s also slightly harder. The roughest one is called cotton pulp paper; it’s much softer, and it also has the best absorption among the three types of paper.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded. “Oh, what about the third one?”

“The third one is a blend between wood and cotton pulp. It falls between the two,” Xiao Ilan said. After that, he brought out five brushes of different sizes and showed them to Lin Xiaowan as he said, “Look at these five brushes. What’s the difference?”

Lin Xiaowan studied the brushes carefully and seriously for a long time before she said with uncertainty, “Their sizes are different?” She reached out to poke them and continued to say, “They’re all hard.”

Xiao Han laughed. “It’ll become soft when you soak in water.”

Lin Xiaowan really did not know what the difference was. She said, “The thickness is different? I really don’t know…”

Then, she picked the biggest brush and said, “This one is square, and the others are pointy…”

“Yes, the square one is called a flat brush,” Xiao Ilan said. Seeing that she was most interested in the flat brush, he started by introducing the flat brush first.

After introducing her to the brushes, Xiao Han then showed her different types of watercolors and other media.

Lin Xiaowan was dizzy from all the information. Her attitude of a bad student showed up when the sun shone into the room, making it warm. She yawned twice, looking sleepy as she listened. When she thought about the types of paper that Xiao Han introduced in the beginning, she could no longer remember anything. She sighed and murmured to herself, “There are so many things…”

Lin Xiaowan was feeling a little hungry, and she suddenly asked, “What are you going to have for lunch?”

Xiao Han seemed unaffected by the abrupt change in topic. “Hmm? I haven’t thought about it.” He glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was now 11.30 AM so he said, “Let’s eat first.”

“Okay!” Lin Xiaowan agreed immediately. There were many options when eating outside. She quickly brought her phone out to check if there were any good restaurants around as she asked, “What do you feel like eating?”

Xiao Han was amused when he saw how energetic Lin Xiaowan became when lunch was mentioned, no longer looking as listless as before.

Initially, Xiao Han only planned to casually order takeout for lunch. However, seeing how expectant Lin Xiaowan was, he asked, “Is there anything you feel like eating? I’m quite familiar with this area.”

Lin Xiaowan was someone whose eyes were bigger than her stomach. Apart from that, she also had a tough time deciding on what she wanted to eat.

Seeing Lin Xiaowan’s indecisiveness, Xiao Ilan asked, “Why don’t we go out and have a look?”

“Alright,” Lin Xiaowan said with a hurried nod before she added, “I’ll treat you to lunch!”

Xiao Han chuckled and said, “It’s fine. I can still afford to pay for lunch. Moreover, you’re Teacher Hong’s student. This means you’re my junior sister. I low can 1 let my junior sister treat me to lunch? 1 should be the one treating you.”

The driver parked the car at the entrance of the studio. When he saw Lin Xiaowan walking out, he came out and opened the car door for Lin Xiaowan.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaowan hurriedly said, “I’m not going back yet. 1 just came out for lunch. You don’t have to wait for me here. Go and eat. I’ll let you know when it s time to leave.”

The driver nodded but did not leave. He returned to the car and continued watching the livestream that he had been watching earlier.

In fact, the driver’s work was usually very leisurely. When he was waiting for his employer or when his service was not needed, he could do whatever he wanted as long as his work was not affected..
