A Beta Who Was Courted Crazily for Love (Translated)

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Yu Qingyan had been distracted in the council hall for a long time.

At first, he had the patience to listen to the verbal sparring between the representatives of both factions, but eventually, he realized it was all just redundant nonsense and couldn't be bothered to focus any longer. Bored, he picked up a pen and started doodling.

Initially, it was just meaningless lines and blotches of black, but gradually, the pen seemed to have a will of its own, not obeying his commands and began sketching a vague outline on the blank page, slowly adding details, and finally making small corrections—

It became the handsome face of the young boy.

Xiao An... Yu Qingyan muttered in his heart, did he manage to register smoothly today?

The message sent a few hours ago had not been replied to. If it weren't for the photos and messages sent by Bai He indicating that the boy was safe and sound, he might have been worried that the boy's school registration hadn't gone smoothly today.

Yu Qingyan lowered his brows and discreetly swiped open the screen, opening the photo. His fingers moved slightly, gently stroking the faint smile at the corner of the boy's lips. A feeling of inexplicable joy washed over him, even making the noisy, argumentative sounds of the council hall more bearable.

Why was only one photo taken? He thought absentmindedly. If he had known, he would have asked Bai He to take more pictures, preferably with video and sound...

The thought flashed through his mind, and a twinge of guilt crossed his heart. Such behavior seemed improper, almost like spying or prying into the boy's life...

No, not quite. He was just worried that something might happen to the boy on his way to registration.

Yes, exactly. Yu Qingyan justified himself, but soon, another voice quietly emerged, exposing his lie.

Yu Qingyan, others may not know you, but don't you know yourself? What unexpected events could possibly happen on the way to university registration? It's just that your incurable desire for control is acting up, always wanting to peek into every aspect of the boy's life.

Yu Qingyan slightly pursed his lips, frowning. He placed the top sheet of paper at the bottom and pulled out another blank sheet, holding the pen, and began sketching lines again, tracing the contours of the bones, the spacing of the eyes...

The boy from the photo was almost replicated on the blank page, the difference being that the photo had vibrant colors and a busy background, while the paper showed only black, white, and grey tones, with the boy as the sole focus.

He immersed himself fully in his drawing, constantly adjusting the little details, ensuring that the boy would be perfectly presented on paper!

The noisy commotion gradually drifted away, and the sound of chairs clashing and breaking did not move him.

Finally, with the last stroke of the drawing, the boy's eyes came to life, clear and bright, with a faint smile, vivid and lifelike.

Yu Qingyan's lips curved up. He couldn't help but add a few more strokes to make the expression even more lifelike.

At the same time, Yuan's calm and powerful voice echoed throughout the spacious council hall, and the hall suddenly quieted down, to the point where even the drop of a pin could be heard.

Yu Qingyan remained calm, unaffected. His posture remained unchanged, and his pen did not stop, meticulously adjusting the curve of the boy's eye corner until he was satisfied, then slowly set the pen down.
