Mr. Sun gave her a smile. “But you’re different. Your paintings make people feel warm inside.” He then continued, “And recently, I see more sunlight in your paintings.”

Xu Jiaojiao was slightly taken aback. She subconsciously looked at her own painting and was a little puzzled.

She never realized it herself.

“You’re getting better, at least a lot better than when you first arrived. Do you have a belief or a faith, something that you want to chase? You have to maintain this feeling.”

Xu Jiaojiao calmed down and thought for a moment before saying, “1 don’t know either. I did have a faith a long time ago, but it fell apart.”

She could not think of a reason why her paintings had become sunnier.

“You don’t understand yourself.” Mr. Sun smiled. “In my opinion, you are now full of faith and inspiration. That’s why your paintings are getting warmer, firmer, and more radiant.”

Xu Jiaojiao frowned slightly, her dark eyes filled with confusion. Was that really the case?

Mr. Sun was amused by her look of confusion. “A bystander can see things more clearly. Perhaps you haven’t noticed the changes in yourself. Don’t worry about it. Just maintain this state and continue drawing.”

Xu Jiaojiao did not quite understand what the teacher meant, but she still nodded obediently.

The sun was setting. The other students and Mr. Sun had already returned to their rooms. Meanwhile, Xu Jiaojiao was engrossed in her drawing, and she only answered absent-mindedly when the people around her spoke to her. She did not really hear what they were saying.

Suddenly, she felt that her vision was blocked. When she looked up again, she saw that the person beside her was gone. She was alone on the bridge.

“Ah-choo—”

The cold night wind blew. Her hand around the paintbrush was frozen, and she could not help but sneeze.

She quickly put on her coat and then went to the river to wash her brushes and drawing board. Finally, she packed her things and rushed to the inn. Along the way, she sneezed non-stop.

When she returned to the hotel, she realized that everyone had finished their dinner. The boys were sitting in the hotel lobby playing games, while the girls were gathered in groups of twos and threes to gossip, talk about celebrities, or discuss the best makeup.

Xu Jiaojiao returned to her room and boiled hot water for herself. She poured it into a cup and took small sips.
