“Did you draw this?”

Fang Nanzhi, who had been feeling flustered, had forgotten that the drawing she had just made was still on the easel. When he suddenly mentioned it, her face flushed instantly.

Once in elementary school, her sketchbook fell and was snatched by a few classmates, and she was ridiculed for a while.

Because of that, she had only ever drawn for herself and had never shown her drawings to anyone.

She pulled the drawing paper from the easel. “Yes... I just drew it for fun.”

“Is this near the activity area in Fenglan?”

“Huh?”

“Your perspective is quite good.”

The Fenglan Yun Di apartment complex where they lived had an area specifically for residents’ activities. One time, Zhao Liyun took her there for an after-dinner walk. It was sunset, and the buildings looked particularly beautiful in the evening light, so she took a photo.

She had felt inspired today and was drawing from that photo, trying to capture the scene from that moment.

She had only been drawing for half an hour, and it was just a preliminary sketch, yet he had recognized it.

Fang Nanzhi had never expected her drawings to be praised. She sat there stiffly, her heart pounding. By the time she finally reacted and looked up, the person who had been next to her was gone.

The studio door wasn’t properly closed, and the wind made it gently tap, like something from a dream.

But he had really been there.
