“The skin is very beautiful, so the use of this toner will be very

effective for kaka. Although only from second-tier brands, product range

the skin care of this girl is very good. ”

“Jiaojiao, why do you know so much?”

“Uhh... I have a friend who likes things like this.”

-

“Jiaojiao, quickly help me and see; does this dress fit

for me? "

“It would be suitable for your mother, but it doesn't suit you. Kaka

Aiyan, come on, try this dress instead. ”

“Little black dress? But, I've never worn anything like

“Kaka won't know if kaka likes it or not until kaka

Xu Qi, who was originally a boyfriend and cousin, was now

being a porter because she had to carry all the shopping bags while she bitterly

behind the two girls. His heart had a feeling that it was not

delightful. He felt that his savings for many years would be imminent

shrinking in the hands of these two girls.

　

　

During this time, Xu Qi developed a new understanding of Xu

Xiaojiao. His previously blunt cousin now becomes even more cunning due to

getting something she always said 'I'm so jealous, I've never been

received a gift from my previous cousin’ And Zhang Aiyan will ask him to

bought him a gift. As her boyfriend, how could she bear to let

boyfriend paid. As a result, after buying the first 'gift', then

he will ask for the second item, and then the third item. Of the care product

leather to clothes, as well as shoes; xu Jiaojiao received something new from the

head to toe tip.

“Jiaojiao, let's have fun together again next time.”

Zhang Aiyan shouted to Sheng Jiaoyang as they lowered down

Xu Jiaojiao at the subway station.

“That little girl didn't even say goodbye after me

bought him so many things!” Xu Qi said while gritting

his teeth.

Zhang Aiyan hugged Xu Qi's arm and laughed. “Your husband is quite interesting!

His taste and knowledge of international brands is extensive. As if

he's experienced everything before. I know that he does a lot

effort in this field, and the most amazing thing is that he was also accepted in

one of the most prestigious universities. He's really amazing! ”

Which part of her is amazing ?! He's obviously a prodigy!

Xu Qi, who had been desperate and spent her savings with

very wasteful until almost half of it is exhausted, feeling an external heartache

ordinary. He originally intended to buy a car for a hundred thousand dollars, but

now that his pockets were shrinking so badly, he could only cancel

his plan.

If his cousin isn't filled with so many ideas, it isn't

the problem. But, when he had an idea, he would execute it with speed

and deadly precision.

By the time Sheng Jiaoyang returned home, the sun was already

be immersed.

As soon as he entered the house, he was so frightened that

his heart almost exploded from his chest. The inside of the house was dim because

the lack of sunlight, and all he could see was a figure sitting on

dining table, facing the door. With his myopia, he has a range

limited vision made him think that he could see shadows

phantoms.

Sheng Jiaoyang stretched out his hand and turned on the lamp to

seeing that it was only Xu Qing, made his heart return in relief. Immediately after

he had enough money, the first thing he had to do was correct

his sight! Even if his body is healthy now, if often

electrocuted like this, sooner or later will definitely suffer from heart failure.

Xu Qing was also surprised. He saw his daughter enter the room

while carrying a few shopping bags, and nervously asked, "Jiaojiao,

how do you buy so many things?"

“This is a gift my cousin gave me as a gift

graduation.”

“Qiqi?” Xu Qing was surprised because even though Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Qi were

cousins, they're not too close.

“Do you borrow money?” Sheng Jiaoyang did not want Xu Qing

knowing too many details and deliberately changing the subject.

Xu Qing's expression once again collapsed into despair.

With one look, Sheng Jiaoyang knew the answer and with

patiently comforted Xu Qing by muttering some comforting words.

Then, he gave Xu Qing the skin care product he had just bought

and give him face treatment. During the face treatment, she used techniques

the massage she learned from her grandfather's masseuse to help Xu Qing

relax.

That night, Xu Qing slept soundly.

This was of course what Sheng Jiaoyang wanted. First, he didn't

I want to wake up scared again in the middle of the night. And second, because he will

being Xu Jiaojiao, he would shoulder all the responsibilities Xu Jiaojiao and

run it to the best of his ability.

After enjoying her daughter's rare appearance, the next morning,

when Xu Qing woke up, he was filled with such a bright mood

sunlight. So, the first thing he did after making breakfast

is to go find a job.

Regarding the matter of Xu Qing getting a job, Sheng Jiaoyang

no trouble. In fact, he pushed his spirit higher. Him

didn't have much time to accompany Xu Qing, and rather than let

this gentle woman wallowed in self-pity, better

he entertained himself by finding a new job.

After he finished eating the boiled eggs made by Xu Qing, he,

Sheng Jiaoyang prepared to leave.

He couldn't just keep quiet all day while wishing that

best; he must take the necessary steps to ensure

that the outcome of the modeling competition would be in her favor.

In fact, last night after he had pushed Xu Qing's spirit to

looking for a job, he thought a lot about his next move

he should have done. Before, he was rich, so he would easily

achieve whatever he wants to do. As Sheng Jiaoyang, he and Mei

Niu has established partnerships and built a brand name. He will also be holding

exhibition of his art, and then use the proceeds of the sale of his paintings to

starting a dream foundation. He has done many things that he cannot

achieved by others, even though they tried for a lifetime, but all that

it depends on the help he receives from his grandfather. If it wasn't for

his grandfather who helped him, he might not have any money to invest

in partnership. He would have no connections to use when he

hold an exhibition of his art, and his paintings may be considered worthless.

If that happened, he would not be able to help others through funding

his foundation. This was because, at that moment, he was just a pitiful person who

his mother died early, whose father did not care for him, who

the paternal grandparents did not like him, and whose stepmother

bothered him.

Now that Sheng Jiaoyang had nothing, he could only

relying on his ability to obtain the materials he needed. She didn't

could again just open his mouth to ask and just extend his hand.

After realizing the helplessness he felt at first, he,

he now began to think: So, this is what it means to depend on ability

someone to crawl to the top from zero! Just thinking about it already

Sheng Jiaoyang first went to the stationery shop nearby

school and buy a small paint board, a stack of white papers, and a paint brush

simple with a few paint pots. With the remaining dollars left, he then

go to the old part of the bustling business center of the city. This place is close to

one of the leading universities, and several more university campuses

old is not far from here; about twenty minutes by bus.

[Prices start at five dollars (no maximum)]

Sheng Jiaoyang sat beside one of the flower beds and

put a piece of paper at his feet with the words written on

above it. Then, while holding the drawing board, he began to draw with

idly.

Little by little, a person's facial features reveal themselves

in a graceful brushstroke. Elegant face, straight nose, sharp curves in

couple lips…

Sheng Jiaoyang was unaware of what he was making until he finished

the drawing.

His fingers gently caressed the outline of the feature while

whispering, "Lin Yan ..."

“Is this handsome guy real?” Suddenly, a voice in

his close proximity suddenly pulled him from his memory.

Sheng Jiaoyang blinked and turned to look at a girl

standing next to him tied up with a high ponytail. She's been

biting the straw from the soy milk and staring at the picture in Sheng Jiaoyang's hand

scrupulously.

“Nona, is this handsome guy your girlfriend?” the girl tilted

his head as he asked curiously.

“Unfortunately, no.” Sheng Jiaoyang quickly succeeded

regaining a calm expression on his face.

“Then, he must be the person you like!”

Sheng Jiaoyang's calm expression broke.

The girl who bluntly uncovers the truth in one

a short comment that was involuntarily uttered, and beamed as he

he said, "If there were such a handsome person around me, I would too

secretly loved her."

Look at your age! Sheng Jiaoyang laughed. Frankness

the girl he could not criticize but reminded him of her more

youthful. Why did he like Lin Yan? At first, it looked like love

first sight. As soon as he saw that handsome face ...

Sheng Jiaoyang's cough looked neutral on his face. “Are you

want to sketch?”

“What do you mean by 'no max'?”

"As long as it's not less than five dollars, I don't mind

how much you pay."

The girl tilted her head, and casually decided,

“Then, make a picture for me; picture me while in this pose. "

After that, the girl leaned closer to the outstretched branch

get out of the flowerbed and pose as if about to smell the flowers.

“Please hold that position for ten seconds.” Brush in hand

Sheng Jiaoyang quickly slid down on the paper.

“Ten seconds?” The girl thought she heard wrong, so she

turned towards Sheng Jiaoyang to make sure.

“Don't move; ten seconds is enough. ”

“Ten, nine, eight... three, two..”.

"One!" The girl finished counting and with

excitedly walked back to Sheng Jiaoyang. Saw his silhouette appear on

on paper, he was so shocked that his eyes widened in astonishment. Him

convinced that no one was as capable as Sheng Jiaoyang, who was capable

sweep the paper as smooth as running water. The girl admired him so much.

Nowadays, with the amount of information that can be accessed easily,

the capacity that most people can store is equal to roughly the size

acorns. A large number of people will be able to say something, but forget it

in a matter of seconds. In fact, it only has the competence to memorize

several numbers at once is a problem that many people face. Difficult

imagine that there was someone who only needed ten seconds to

remembering others, and then being able to pull them completely from

recollection. This is already outside the realm of simple skills; this is

innate skills. It was a gift that envy many!

“Excellent!” Some people stopped to watch, which

then slowly it became a crowd as more people started to

notice the commotion around the display.

After Sheng Jiaoyang finished his drawing, he

sign it in the bottom right corner out of habit. Then, the girl

directly inspecting the portrait though Sheng Jiaoyang had just put down

her brush.

“Your signature design is very artistic! Is this read as

Jiaoyang or Jiao Yang? Did you design it yourself? Can you

help me make one? ”

“You ask so many questions at once; which one

what do you want me to answer first? ” Sheng Jiaoyang without saying

looking at the girl. After completing such a large sketch, the

unexpectedly being praised was his signature in the corner! Should he now

laughing or crying?

“Oh... Uhh, help me design the signature first! I'm willing

pay more as long as it looks cool! " The girl winks

her eyes, trying to be sweet.

To earn money, Eldest Miss Sheng had no other choice

besides selling his paintings on the street. So, of course, he wouldn't miss

opportunity to earn extra income.

First, he asked the girl to write his name on

a piece of paper and asked if he knew what he wanted. Later,

Sheng Jiaoyang artistically painted the girl's name with a few strokes

the brush next to the name the girl wrote.

“Are you satisfied with this, Liu Lu?” Sheng Jiaoyang's

pointing to his signature.

The Chinese character for 'Lu' in Liu Lu's name uses a lot

brushwork. However, under Sheng Jiaoyang's hands, that name became a name that was

simple and full of artistic talent, with a sense of beauty that

invigorating.

"I'm satisfied! Very satisfied! ” shouted Liu Lu as he laughed,

I can't hide his happiness. Happy with art and signs

his given hand, he quickly pulled out some banknotes from

his wallet and handed it to Sheng Jiaoyang.

Even though this amount of money was not at all comparable to the sum

the one he used to sell his paintings, this money was still something

which he got by his own efforts while selling his work for the first

the time without the identity of 'Sheng Jiaoyang'. Thin banknotes held in

his palm instantly became something precious in Sheng's eyes

Jiaoyang. At this moment, he really felt that he understood the value of money

who is and has entered the world as an ordinary citizen.

“Ahh! I almost forgot to tell you! The picture you made about

I am much better than my appearance directly, ” Liu Lu said while

pulled out his phone and took some portraits and autographs.

Then, with one hand, he posted the images to a media account

socially.

Hearing that, the tip of Sheng Jiaoyang's mouth slightly lifted. “What

all I'm drawing is how do you look at me.”

Liu Lu stared blankly. The short-haired girl in front of him was visible

younger than himself, but those smiling eyes looked like they were filled

with starlight, it makes it look very attractive.

(“how do you see ku” means the same as ‘you will

say it's nice if the cook is someone you love or respect’)
