Mai Xiaomai brought Qiao Chutian to Huang Wanrong's grave to find Ye Li.
That was her biological father, and she wanted him to meet her husband.
Ye Li was sitting in front of a low table that seemed to appear from nowhere, bowing his head while drawing something on white paper. His face was not covered by a veil, showing his unsightly purplish-black face.
Mai Xiaomai approached and gently called out, "Dad, I'm here!"
Ye Li looked up at her, his gaze then falling on Qiao Chutian beside her. He nodded and continued to draw.
Mai Xiaomai looked down.
It was very clear that he was drawing the scene of his first meeting with Huang Wanrong at the ancestral hall.
Even though it was just a few strokes with a pencil, it vividly captured the youthful vibrancy, playfulness, and innocence of Huang Wanrong.
Meanwhile, he was sitting on the threshold of the ancestral hall, without a veil, looking longingly at Huang Wanrong in the rain…
An exceptionally warm and touching painting.
