Chapter 8.2
Genius Artist - Replacement of the White Moonlight for the Rich CEO
“You don’t know how to play, right?” Huo Lian handed the golf club to Lu Shijin, “I’ll teach you.”
Lu Shijin was stunned. He didn’t have time to think of how Huo Lian would be teaching him before Huo Lian was already standing behind him.
Huo Lian’s long arms stretched out and somewhat encircled Lu Shijin’s body.
Then, his large hands covered Lu Shijin’s own on the ball club, his low and magnetic voice sounding beside Lu Shijin’s ear.
“Hold the ball club tightly like this, then aim for the ball hole in front and swing it out like this.”
Huo Lian’s figure was very good. His muscles were so strong and tight that Lu Shijin felt like he was leaning against a wall.
At the same time, he could feel the vibration from his speech. It made his back sweat and his scalp numb.
“Mr. Huo?” Lu Shijin pretended to be uncomfortable, quietly protesting, “I don’t think this is appropriate.”
Huo Lian coldly asked, “How?”
Lu Shijin’s body was very stiff and he didn’t dare move, “Position, t-too . . .”
Huo Lian pretended to not understand, “Too what? I’ll bring you to Huo Qi, and you’ll accompany me to play golf, isn’t that what we’ve already agreed on?”
Lu Shijin could only brace himself and pretended to be dumb, “N-nothing, you can continue.”
Huo Lian silently sneered and looked at Lu Shijin’s slightly red earlobes. If the boy’s acting wasn’t really good, then it must be genuine feelings.
Although Lu Shijin had already explained the reason he was looking for him, Huo Lian still didn’t completely believe it.
His heart was clear about how many people were forced on pins and needles throughout the years that his father had raised him.
The amount of people staring at him in both the dark and light were even more uncountable.
He was afraid that Lu Shijin’s appearance was a trap set by the father-son duo.
His father was growing old, almost at the age to retire from chairman. At that time, he couldn’t have a single misstep.
Huo Lian gathered his thoughts and focused on teaching golf again.
“Did you understand what I just said? If you do, then let’s try it out.”
Huo Lian’s warm breath seemed to accidentally blow past Lu Shijin’s ear, making him instinctively shiver.
711 anxiously shouted, “Hold it in!”
“It’s not like I wanted to do that. It’s all because this body is too sensitive. Damn, Huo Lian did it on purpose, didn’t he? Leaning in this close.”
It didn’t stop there. After Huo Lian taught Lu Shijin how to hit the ball, he patted the back of Lu Shijin’s waist.
‘Coincidentally’, the spot he patted was the most sensitive part of Lu Shijin’s waist. Lu Shijin finally couldn’t endure it anymore.
Naturally, Lu Shijin knew that Huo Lian was testing him. Since that was the case, then he should let Huo Lian see what he wanted to see.
Lu Shijin escaped from Huo Lian like a spooked rabbit, glaring at Huo Lian angrily.
Huo Lian was quite satisfied upon seeing Lu Shijin’s reaction, humour colouring his eyes.
However, his tone couldn’t have been more serious, as if he was a conscientious teacher sincerely teaching their students.
“Don’t bend your back, chest up, belly in and raise your butt. You can miss the ball, but you need to have proper posture. Continue.”
No matter what, at least Huo Lian believed that Lu Shijin was silly and sweet by at least five or six points.
Lu Shijin proudly announced, “I think it’s at least 10%.”
711 was confused, “What 10%?”
“The villain counterattack plan.”
711 was about to have a breakdown, “Boss, please, did you forget the name of our system? We’re ‘smitten side male lead’ not ‘villain counterattack’!”
Lu Shijin was very dismissive of 711’s words, “Calm down, no matter what type of system you are, your big bro will always take you with him.”
711: . . .
——
After “accidentally” meeting Huo Lian at the golf course, it was like Huo Lian disappeared, having never contacted Lu Shijin afterwards.
As if the promise of helping Lu Shijin meet Huo Qi was just words used to coax a child.
According to Huo Lian’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t like nosy people, but he wouldn’t disregard his promises so easily like that either.
So Lu Shijin was leaning towards the possibility that Huo Lian was still testing him, waiting for him to make the first move.
After all, Lu Shijin was the one trying to see his loved one. Huo Lian could afford to wait, but Lu Shijin would be unable to sit still.
Lu Shijin waited three days before calling Huo Lian.
The little white rabbit called the big gray wolf and tremblingly asked when he could see his loved one.
As expected, Huo Lian pretended to have been busy and accidentally forgot about his promise. After apologizing, he made plans to see Lu Shijin tomorrow.
“It’s really not easy to win Huo Lian’s trust.” After hanging up, Lu Shijin sighed.
711: “I really don’t understand why you’re doing this.”
“Of course, it’s for my own happiness. As a human, happiness is the most important thing. Oh right, what has Huo Qi been up to lately?”
711 didn’t want to waste any more words on him and directly pulled up the screen, letting Lu Shijin see for himself.
Ruan Siheng became famous when he was young. At 16, his paintings had won many foreign youth painting awards, praised as a “genius artist” by the media.
But after Ruan Siheng suffered a car crash abroad and saw his friend die in front of him, a demon took over his heart.
Night after night of insomnia consumed his inspiration. Whenever he picked up a paintbrush, his mind would turn completely blank.
The former “genius artist” couldn’t even paint a stroke of oil paint. Under the advice of a psychologist, Ruan Siheng temporarily left the place he had stayed in for eight years and returned back to China to relax, hoping to forget the unhappy memories and find his inspiration again.
However, the domestic art galleries didn’t know what kind of situation the genius artist they had praised for so many years was in, so they were eager to cooperate with Ruan Siheng.
Numerous invitations were sent to Ruan Siheng in hopes of exhibiting his art. They piled like snowflakes in Ruan Siheng’s hands, turning into his newest nightmare.
It was as if they were laughing at Ruan Siheng for being unable to create new works, forcing him into a corner.
At this time, only Huo Qi accompanied Ruan Siheng, never leaving him a single step as he took care of them. He even pushed off many work engagements to accompany Ruan Siheng to relax.
When Huo Yan learned about Huo Qi not working properly, he was furious and taught Huo Qi a fierce lesson, ordering him to not interact with Ruan Siheng anymore.
【Huo Qi is so loving. Ruanruan, please realize his feelings soon! Get together!】
【Huo Qi’s dad is so annoying. Our Ruanruan is already so pitiful, yet he still wants to take them apart, hurry up and leave!】
【I feel so bad for Ruanruan, please find your confidence soon. I believe that our Ruanruan is always the best!】
【The car accident wasn’t your fault, you don’t need to blame yourself! Our Ruanruan is just too kind, sobs.】
Lu Shijin coldly read over the countless comments sympathizing with Ruan Siheng.
According to the storyline, it was almost time for Ruan Siheng to go to Huo Qi’s house and find Lu Shijin’s art.
