This was a typical Xianzhou style portrait, which, compared to the ink and wash style of traditional Chinese painting in Bai Yu's previous life, emphasized realism while also paying attention to artistic conception.
The young man in the painting was like a brilliant star.
There was a cynical smile between his brows, but it also seemed to be able to see through the depths of people's hearts.
His snow-white hair, like a full moon, and his red and white brocade robe fluttered in the wind, the "Shenxiao" sword in his hand sparkled with an icy cold light in the sunlight. It was clearly a painting, but it made people feel as if they were really being stabbed in the brow by a sharp sword, making their minds tremble.
As she looked, her cheeks flushed.
"Do you really look like this?"
The girl whispered, even to herself.
"Didn't you say so?" Bai Yu retorted, walking over to the table and glancing at the self-portrait he had just drawn. "'You're taking over my body, but I don't even know what you look like, it's so annoying' - so I drew it."
"But, but..."
After stuttering for a while, Paimon finally added: "But you're too handsome!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Too handsome - no! Too good looking - eep, eep, eep! I'm wrong!"
Halfway through her words, Ying saw her right hand suddenly slap towards her mouth uncontrollably, and her body reacted faster than her brain, immediately changing her words.
Seeing that Bai Yu didn't make her hit herself again, Ying let out a long sigh of relief, her gaze falling on the portrait, and all sorts of strange thoughts began to bubble up uncontrollably -
'"Ugh, you actually want my body!'"
"No...no way!"
Ying blushed and denied it, but the pink bubbles in her heart couldn't be hidden from Bai Yu, who could read minds.
Before, there had always been a thorn in the girl's heart.
Just like Belfast, although she couldn't read Bai Yu's mind, she could vaguely feel Bai Yu's inner self, and Ying, similarly, didn't reject her current state because of the feeling of complete immersion in a hot spring that she felt in her mind after the consciousness took over.
But here came the problem: she didn't know what Bai Yu was truly like.
It was like online friends who could only communicate online, because they couldn't meet in real life, and they didn't even exchange photos, so they could only imagine the other person's image through their conversations.
The more perfect the image, the more doubts would arise: Are there really such people in the world?
The outcome was nine times out of ten a tragic "meeting-in-person death".
Now, however, seeing Bai Yu's portrait with her own eyes, Ying was surprised to discover that this guy was even more attractive than she had "imagined"!
Although she didn't want to admit that she was a "lookist", her instinctive reaction couldn't be denied. Ying actually felt a strange feeling of "I'm not a loser, this is a big win".
Didn't you see Paimon's eyes were starting to sparkle as she looked at the portrait?
"He's not that...that good looking, why is he so annoying when he speaks and acts?" Ying complained softly.
"Oh? You dare say you don't enjoy it?" Bai Yu retorted, straight to the point, with a sharp critique.
Ying was sunk again, unable to speak.
Thinking about it carefully, although this guy was annoying sometimes, the days spent teasing and being teased by him were truly joyful.
Damn it!
Could it be that I'm actually a masochist!?
Ying's pupils shook, and she fell into deep self-doubt.
She shook her head vigorously, then patted her face, and Ying stomped her foot and said with a huff: "Okay, okay! I've seen what you look like, get out! I'm going to sleep!"
A moment later, a feeling of loss, as if something had suddenly been ripped out of her heart, swept over her whole body, Ying's originally happy face visibly became expressionless, and then she shuddered violently.
She looked at the portrait on the table again, carefully rolled it up and put it away, then changed her clothes, took Paimon, and dived into the bed.
"Ying..."
"Hmm? What's wrong, Paimon?"
"Say, what if you dream of Bai Yu while you're sleeping tonight, and Bai Yu suddenly comes over, what will happen? Will he be able to see your dream?"
"——!!!"
...Dividing line...
When he woke up, the first thing Bai Yu smelled was a familiar but not his own fragrance.
It was Ting Yun's scent.
Opening his eyes in the blanket filled with the fox girl's scent, the first thing he saw was Ting Yun, lying on his chest, her hands propping up her chin, her eyes curved as she looked at him.
Her long, loose hair cascaded like a waterfall, spread out over his chest like silk, feeling smoother than the finest materials.
A ray of morning sunlight shone through the carved window, falling on Ting Yun's delicate shoulders, making her fair skin like melted but not yet melted cream ice cream, inexplicably giving people the illusion that "it must be sweet!"
Ting Yun, who had obviously woken up early, said in a sultry voice: "Xiao Bai, you're awake?"
Her intoxicating breath brushed his face with the morning greeting, making Bai Yu feel so lazy that he didn't even want to move a finger.
"Good morning, Ting Yun Jie."
"Good morning, where did you go on a date with some good little sister last night?"
"——!!!"
"I knew it!" Ting Yun's carefully manicured fingernails gently poked Bai Yu's collarbone, she wrinkled her nose and said, "You were lying next to little girl, but your consciousness ran off to another world to date some good little sister, is this what they call 'sleeping together but dreaming of different things'?"
"Really, even if little girl can keep General's body, she can't keep General's heart...嘤嘤嘤..."
Seeing Ting Yun get more and more into her acting, Bai Yu simply pecked her cheek.
Ting Yun wasn't satisfied, she pointed to her lips directly, raising her eyebrow.
滋滋~滋滋~
A few minutes later.
"Ting Yun Jie."
"Hm?"
"Why do you have a canine tooth!?"
"Oh, sister is a fox, canine teeth are normal for canines, aren't they?"
But canine teeth are unlucky - Bai Yu didn't dare say that.
Ting Yun smiled sweetly as she wiped her mouth, then sat up on his chest, not minding at all that the sheet slid down, exposing her beautiful figure to her younger brother.
Anyway, she'd already seen it all~
"Alright, you should get up, otherwise, Changchang will be at the door soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ting Yun suddenly shook the fox ears on top of her head, and Bai Yu also looked out the window.
Both of them had excellent hearing and could hear the footsteps coming from outside the yard.
"Just in time," Ting Yun Jie poked Bai Yu's arm with her tail, "Xiao Bai, you better think quickly how you're going to deal with Changchang!"
