Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 48 - Gu Zhou

It was obvious that he was taking pictures, and most likely of her. Sheng Jiaoyang furrowed her eyebrows.

Nearby, the masked man narrowed his eyes, seemingly smiling at her. He then walked away to take pictures of other sceneries.

Oh, it was a tourist.

Sheng Jiaoyang didn't mind the matter and strolled along the riverside until lunch time. She stopped at a restaurant near the shore and leisurely ate her lunch. After resting for a while, she went on enjoying the scenery of the Tiber river.

The moment she walked up the Sacred Angel Bridge, she saw a young man painting something. She walked over and saw him drawing an angel statue. She halted and watched for a while.

When the young man stopped drawing, she stepped forward and asked, "May I borrow your tools for a moment?"

Upon seeing someone else drawing, her addiction to painting flared up again.

The young man turned around and sized her up and down before passing his painting tools to her without much hesitation.

"Thank you!" Sheng Jiaoyang thanked him. Then, without further ado, she used the young man's painting tools to start painting.

A rough sketch was gradually outlined on the white paper. At first, she drew a bit here and a bit there, scattering everything around the place and making it impossible for others to know what she was drawing. When those scattered lines were fully blended by her brushstrokes, an angel statue appeared vividly on paper.

The young man had initially worn a solemn expression, looking as if he regretted lending his tools to her. However, when he witnessed this stroke of genius, his eyes widened in astonishment. Soon after, he realised that the other party's hand hadn't stopped moving, and that she was filling in the empty areas on the paper.

A cute little angel slowly appeared beside the vivid angel statue. It looked very similar to the angel statue, like the spitting image of a father-son duo. This little angel tilted his head and looked at the solemn-looking angel statue beside him, his expression exhibiting curiosity and ignorance. It was so cute that it could melt one's heart.

The young man opened his mouth in awe, but he was afraid of disturbing the person who was sketching. His voice reached his throat but was suppressed by a forceful swallow.

Finally, that slender white hand holding the brush moved to the lower right corner, as if she was going to sign. Just as the tip of the brush barely touched the paper, it suddenly stopped and was moved away.

The young man couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Why aren't you signing it?" At last, he could see that this girl who looked younger than him was a very skilled young painter with sophisticated painting skills.

Sheng Jiaoyang tilted her head, her voice carrying a trace of helplessness as she replied, "A fellow spent one million to buy out my pseudonym."

"What? Why did you do that? Were you short of money?" The young man couldn't understand this. A talented young painter like this shouldn't have had to sell her pseudonym for that little bit of money.

That fellow was Demon King Shen, so she couldn't fight back and could only acknowledge his offer. However, she was indeed short of money.

Sheng Jiaoyang smiled and put down the brush. She then stood up and said towards the young man, "Thank you for lending me your tools. If you like this painting..."

"Can you gift it to me?" a voice from the side suddenly interrupted her.

Sheng Jiaoyang turned to look, and a masked face entered her sight. The eyebrows above the mask were slightly curved, and the eyes below them were actually quite charming. They were as black as ink and seemed to be filled to the brim with stars.
