"Ah, okay."
Zhou Yao nodded subconsciously.
Then he smiled gratefully. "Thanks."
"There's also a White Plum Blossom in Third Brother's courtyard."
Zhao Luzheng sounded a little regretful. "If you'd come in winter, you would've been able to see it."
"It's super beautiful."
"Really?"
Zhou Yao grew even more curious about Student Xiao's courtyard.
There was a pond and a White Plum Blossom. It must be a very exquisite courtyard, right?
After finishing the tea and refreshments, Xiao Xiao led the two of them toward the courtyard behind the house.
As they walked out of the living room, Zhou Yao's eyes widened.
"Zhou Yao, look, there are two ponds."
Zhao Luzheng pointed out the direction of the ponds to Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao looked over.
Sure enough.
Under the large trees on either side were two ponds, one large and one small.
The shadows of the trees fell into them, and tiny ripples of light glittered across the water.
Zhou Yao couldn't help walking over.
However, before he reached the ponds, something else caught his attention.
His face went blank for a moment.

Noticing that something was wrong with Zhou Yao, Zhao Luzheng turned to look.
The next second, his eyes suddenly widened.
Eh...
"Third Brother, that painting..."
In front of the White Plum Blossom stood an easel.
An unfinished painting rested on the easel.
It depicted the scenery of the courtyard.
It was practically like having two courtyards.
That was incredible...
"So beautiful."
Zhao Luzheng exclaimed in amazement. "Third Brother, this painting—"
"Where's the person who painted it?!"
Zhou Yao suddenly shouted.
He abruptly strode up to Xiao Xiao, both hands reaching for Xiao Xiao's shoulders.
"Smack!"
"Ow!"
Zhou Yao hurriedly pulled his hands back.
He clutched one of them.
That hurt.
Just
