Fang Yusheng stared at the painting for a few seconds and looked surprised.
He was puzzled.
Why was this picture different from the tattoo on Qiao Jiushengâs leg?
What did that extra woman represent?
âThe person the young monk looks up to was never a rose. Itâs me.â Qiao Jiushengâs voice sounded behind Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng turned around in surprise and saw Qiao Jiusheng.
Qiao Jiusheng was wearing a white long sweater, black jeans, and snow boots as she stood behind him.
Under the gentle light, Qiao Jiushengâs black hair was faintly covered in a layer of gentle light, making her look gentle and beautiful.
In fact, this personâs beauty was sharp.
Qiao Jiusheng pointed at the girl in the wall painting and repeated, âThe girl is me.â
Fang Yusheng guessed that this would be the answer.
âWhy werenât you on the tattoo at the beginning?â
Qiao Jiusheng walked to Fang Yushengâs side. She looked at Fang Yusheng with a meaningful gaze. In an instant, the past few years flashed across her mind. She had quarreled with Fang Yusheng and now they were holding each other.
Actually, it was not easy.
Qiao Jiusheng said in a nostalgic tone, âWhen I decided to tattoo this, it was the second day I met you. At that time, in my heart, you were that little monk and there were no feelings involved. You used to think that the rose represented me, right?â
Fang Yusheng did think so.
When his eyes regained their vision and the first time he saw the tattoo on Qiao Jiushengâs thigh, Fang Yusheng had always thought that the rose was a symbol for Qiao Jiusheng.
The monk should have been a pure person, but he looked up at the rose. That rose was a sin, a person who seduced the monk to commit a crime.
The monk looked up at the rose, which meant he was about to break his vows.
âActually, at that time, I wanted to add another girl to the roses, but I wasnât confident.â Qiao Jiusheng smiled arrogantly. She said, âAt that time, I especially wanted to conquer you. However, I was afraid that I would not succeed. After all, I had the heart but not the guts.â
âItâs different now.â Qiao Jiusheng smiled and poked Fang Yushengâs chest. Her smile was like a cunning little fox, revealing her mischievousness. âFang Yusheng, you really solved it for me. Iâm finally qualified to draw myself.â
Qiao Jiusheng looked at the wall painting again.
She pointed at the naked woman sitting on the rose on the wall and asked Fang Yusheng, âHow is it? Is your wife amazing?â
Fang Yusheng nodded, as if he despised his perfunctory attitude. He said, âYou can say that itâs quite impressive.â
âOf course.â
Qiao Jiusheng touched Fang Yushengâs shoulder. âI still have a gift for you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHuh?â Fang Yusheng thought that this island was the gift Qiao Jiusheng was going to give him. He did not expect there to be another gift. He revealed an interested look and asked Qiao Jiusheng, âWhere? What is it?â
Qiao Jiusheng tiptoed and covered Fang Yushengâs eyes.
âTurn left.â
Fang Yusheng obediently turned left.
Qiao Jiusheng said, âWalk forward until I call you to stop.â
âYeah.â
Fang Yusheng believed in Qiao Jiusheng and did not hesitate to walk forward according to his normal steps. His feet were unstoppable and he was not worried that there would be stones or nails under his feet. This was because he trusted Qiao Jiusheng as much as he trusted his own eyes.
After about twenty steps, Qiao Jiusheng said, âTurn left again.â
âOkay.â
Fang Yusheng turned around and took many steps forward.
âThere are stairs in front. Be careful.â
âYeah.â
Fang Yusheng tiptoed on the stairs in front of him. After figuring out the height of the stairs, he calmly stepped onto them.
After being blind for so many years, even though his eyes had recovered for a few years, Fang Yusheng was still very proficient in acting as a blind person again.
The stairs had only ten steps.
âThereâs a small platform in front. Letâs walk another ten meters.â
âOkay.â
Fang Yusheng thought that since Qiao Jiusheng was shorter than him, it should not be convenient for her to walk forward while covering his eyes..
He stopped in his tracks and said to Qiao Jiusheng, âAh Sheng, you donât have to cover my eyes. You can hold my hand. Iâll just close my eyes.â
âOkay.â
The cold hands on his eyes disappeared. Then, Fang Yushengâs right hand was held tightly by Qiao Jiusheng.
The two of them intertwined their fingers and walked to the end.
Qiao Jiusheng said, âThe gift is in front of you. Touch it and guess what it is.â
Fang Yusheng raised his arms and felt coldness with his fingertips. He must have touched a stone. It was very cold.
Fang Yusheng touched the patterns on the stone again and said, âThis is a stone sculpture.â
âCorrect.â
He touched the stone carving with both hands and said, âItâs a person.â His chest was flat, so it should be a man.
Fang Yushengâs hand moved up and he easily touched the head of the stone sculpture. This stone sculpture was almost as tall as him. He slowed down his stroking and his hand touched the stone sculptureâs hair. It was a little long, and its hairstyle faced its back. Its facial outline was very deepâ¦
âItâs me.â Fang Yusheng smiled and said firmly.
Qiao Jiusheng laughed.
âOpen your eyes.â
Fang Yusheng opened his eyes and saw a magnified stone face.
He quietly looked at the stone statue in front of him. This stone statue was carved very exquisitely. If not for the fact that the material was wrong, Fang Yusheng would have thought that it was him. The stone statue carved by Qiao Jiusheng was almost identical to Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yushengâs gaze moved down and swept across the stone statueâs chest and abdomen. Even the muscles were the same as his figure.
But the statue was naked.
Fang Yusheng touched his nose and said to Qiao Jiusheng, âI like this gift very much, but please allow me to modify it.â
âWhy?â
Qiao Jiusheng watched as Fang Yusheng opened his luggage and took out a set of pajamas to put on the stone statue. âEven if itâs a stone statue, it has to wear clothes.â
Qiao Jiusheng opened her mouth wide. She wanted to say something, but seeing that Fang Yusheng was dressing it very enthusiastically, she held back.
Fang Yusheng put on his clothes for the stone statue. When it was time to put on his pants, he held the pants in his hand and looked troubled.
âWhat should we doâ¦â He couldnât put those pants on.
