Yan Chuyang stared at him viciously and said, “My teacher said those for my own good. Why did you say such ruthless words? Do you know how much she has helped me since I prepared for the competition?”

Wei Qing pinched his shoulders and said impatiently after a little while of silence, “Then how about I get someone to buy some things and send them to her in a few days as apology?”

Yan Chuyang glared at him and pulled out the paintings from his hand coldly. He took a few steps and threw them into the trash can at the corner of the room.

“What did you do?” Wei Qing pushed him away and picked up the paintings from the trash can. “Didn’t you say you painted them all night? How could you just throw them away?”

Yan Chuyang looked down in disappointment, “It’s trash anyway. It will only make people laugh.”

“How can it be?” Wei Qing extended the paper and looked at it seriously, “I think it looks good.”

“It doesn’t look good at all,” Yan Chuyang sat on the chair with hatred and clenched his knees. “I can tell that I can’t do it at all.”

Wei Qing’s heart was pierced. He slowly walked to his side, squatted down and looked into his eyes. “Why do you value this competition so much?”

Yan Chuyang’s eyelashes trembled and he looked down. “I… I owe someone a lot of money.”

“Money?”

“Yes, he has helped me a lot. I’m very grateful to him, but I’ve grown up now. I want to pay back the debt. If I win the competition, there will be a big bonus.”

‘Only by paying back what I owe him will I be able to pursue him most cleanly.

Honestly speaking, my original intention of participating in the competition is to get the big bonus. If I can repay all the money Wei Qing donated to me, I’ll be completely relaxed.

We’re equal, and we’re no longer a provider and a receiver.’

Wei Qing felt uncomfortable, “Who lent you so much money?”

Yan Chuyang’s eyes flashed and he said, “Just a friend.”

Wei Qing stared at him. “Can’t you borrow money from me and return it to him?”

“No.” Yan Chuyang immediately shook his head.

‘Borrow money from him and give it back to him. Isn’t it a circle?’

Wei Qing pinched Yan Chuyang’s chin. “But you still don’t need to be so stressed out.”

“It’s not like that,” Yan Chuyang shook his head and said, “I don’t think I can. I can’t do it now. It seems that I still have to owe him…”

Wei Qing felt suffocated and stood up to hold him in his arms. “Anyway, stop drawing today and have a rest.”

“I can’t,” Yan Chuyang pushed him away, got up and stood in front of the drawing board. “My painting skill is not good enough. If I rest for two days, I’ll become less skilled.”

Then, Yan Chuyang got the wooden pencil and started to draw on the white paper.

Seeing his pressure, Wei Qing said desperately, “I brought you lunch. After you finish the meal, follow me to the company to practice painting.”

Yan Chuyang paused for a moment and turned to look at the person behind him with astonishment, “To the company?”

Wei Qing nodded, “Due to your current state, I’m afraid that you will bump your head out of sadness when drawing if no one watches you.”

Yan Chuyang snorted, “I won’t.”

“Hurry up!” Wei Qing pointed to the thermal lunch box on the table. “Eat the meal, pack your things up and follow me to the company.”

“Hey, do you know this?” One of the female employees crowded into the desk of the two other female employees in a daze. She held her face and said, “There is a handsome young artist in the CEO’s office.”

“Really?” Employee A suddenly threw away the folder in her hand. “Is Mr. Wei enlightened now? Did he start to hide his lover in his room?’

“It’s real!” the first female employee nodded and smiled. “The young man looks so handsome. His face is fair and delicate, and his eyes sparkle. His voice is very young and pleasing to the ear.”

“Gosh!” Employee B couldn’t keep aloof anymore. She turned her head from the computer and said, “Could it be Mr. Wei’s lover?”

“I don’t think so,” the first female employee shook her head with pity after thinking about it. “Everyone in the company knows that Mr. Wei hates gays the worst. Last time, the male manager of the logistics department had a crush on Mr. Wei. When he knew it, Mr. Wei just fired him. He even specifically held a meeting to criticize such an abnormal phenomenon.”

“Then who is the young man in the office?”

“Maybe he is Mr. Wei’s relative.”

A few women were gossiping when someone knocked on the door.

Because it was an office area, the door was cracked open.

When they heard the sound, the women hurriedly dispersed and sat down on their own seats. They looked serious as if it weren’t them who gossiped before.

“Come in,” a female employee coughed and sat straightly.

Yan Chuyang pushed the door open and walked in. He politely asked, “May I ask where is the tea room?”

When Wei Qing brought him to the company, he left him alone in the office and went to the conference room for a meeting.

Knowing that he was close to Wei Qing, Yan Chuyang felt calmer.

After half an hour of drawing patiently, Wei Qing still didn’t show up. He wanted to drink water, but there was only a coffee machine in Wei Qing’s office. There wasn’t even a water dispenser, so he could only go out to find it.

The women stared at Yan Chuyang quietly for a while and then suddenly stood up, smiling at him. “Can’t you find the tea room? How about I lead you there?”

Yan Chuyang felt nervous when he saw a few people rushing over in an instant. He seemed to have recalled his childhood. When he was a child, as long as his grandmother took him to the park, there would always be a few young women who came over and pinched his face.

Yan Chuyang subconsciously retreated and smiled embarrassedly, “Thank you, but you don’t need to take me there. I can’t trouble you more. Just tell me how to go there.”

The woman standing at the front sighed regretfully. “Alright! Turn left, pass through the long corridor, and you will see the tea room. However, our company is very big, so don’t get lost.”
