As he thought this, Song Xuanhe suddenly felt like looking at the sketches of Xiao Yuanmu.
In contrast to his colouring skills, sketches were his weak point. When it came to his sketches of Xiao Yuanmu, however, he was actually proud for once. fKU6ms
Song Xuanhe flipped open the sketchbook once more, finding the sketches by memory. Contrary to his expectations, they weren’t there. He frowned. He had used this sketchbook for a very long time. Even with his eyes closed, he would be able to find the page he was looking for them by touch. At most, he’d be off by three pages. However, the four or five pages in front and behind the page were all blank.

“Who else would it be?” Song Xuanhe said, “It’s not like it would be Yang Jie.”
Xiao Yuanmu: “It’s Louis.”

He asked, “Is Louis your friend?” DNO3 a
Xiao Yuanmu: “He’s just my business partner.”
