Tao Yuan slept until midnight when his phone suddenly rang. It was a request for a video call with Wei Shicheng, he picked up, squinting his eyes and complained: “I am sleeping, even if it is daytime on your end, you can not call at this time ah.”

“Baby, I saw you on the foreign news, when did you paint that “Elysium Punctum”? How come I don’t even know?” Wei Shicheng was a bit excited and asked.

“I started painting it the day after you left, um… just two days ago, and it’s all over the news overseas?” Tao Yuan asked very surprised. xmJGLY

Is your other phone off? A lot of people have called me to buy that painting of yours, and they’ve got a half-dozen friendships with me. A lot of foreign collectors also want to see you and have already left for China.” Wei Shicheng saw Tao Yuan close his eyes in sleep and quickly called out “Qing Yu, baby, are you asleep? Wake up and hear me out first.”

“I didn’t fall asleep, tell me what you’re saying, I’m listening.” Tao Yuan opened his eyes a crack again.

“Don’t be in a hurry to promise to sell the painting to anyone yet, we’ll talk about it when I get back, I’ll trade my shares of the company with you, okay?” Wei Shicheng said in a coaxing tone of a child.

“I had no intention of selling it, I think it will be quite difficult for me, in the future, to paint such a good painting again. And this painting has consumed too much of my mind, I can’t bear to sell it, so I plan to keep it for myself.” Tao Yuan thought about it and said: “I’ll use this painting as a dowry, okay, Uncle Wei.”

“This idea of yours is really great, it’s settled.” Wei Shicheng said excitedly, “No matter what others tell you, you must not be tempted, I will rush back in the next two days, no matter what happens, wait until I return.”

“I’ve told you I won’t sell, and I won’t be tempted to accept whatever they pay me. Just take care of everything there and then come back. Otherwise, it won’t be a waste of even more time to fly over there again in a short time.”

Okay, it’s all up to you, I’ll take care of everything here first. You take the next few days off from school and don’t go anywhere, or those people will definitely pester you.”

“Ummmm, I know, you get to work, come back after work. I’m going to sleep, I’m sleepy.” Tao Yuan said again. 0wEFJd

“Then you sleep, rest well for the next few days, I’m hanging up.” Wei Shicheng looked at Tao Yuan’s tired appearance and felt a little heartbroken.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Yuan hung up immediately and fell asleep with the phone still in his hand. The painting process was too taxing on his mind, and even the system’s repair of his body had slowed down. Tao Yuan felt that even if he could still draw to the same extent, he didn’t want to draw anymore, at least not within these few years for sure.

After they started dating openly, Tao Yuan moved into Wei Shicheng’s villa, and Du Yi also lived there with him, and Wei Shicheng also helped Du Yi transfer into a private aristocratic school.

Tao Yuan slept until noon, but still looked sleepy, and if he hadn’t woken up from hungry, he would have stayed in bed. 2Lzi3K

Du Yi was watching TV in the hall, Tao Yuan walked up to him and sat down, the butler came over and asked: “What would Young Master Du like to eat?”

“Seafood porridge,” said Tao Yuan, “make me a glass of milk first.”

You’re in elementary school and you’re already watching the news? Shouldn’t a kid your age be watching anime?”

“Not all elementary school kids love anime, right?” Du Yi thought “I don’t like to watch it anyway, the content is too exaggerated, I prefer to see what happens in reality.” p49dKU

Really?” Tao Yuan said.

“Brother, would you sell the painting to a foreigner? I hear they’ll pay a very high price and you can help you immigrate.”

“No.” Tao Yuan said in a positive tone “I live well in China, why would I want to immigrate to a place I’m not used to at all, they’re probably sick in the head to think that. Our country is not worse than foreign countries in any way, and I’m not sick in the head, how could I possibly agree to them.”

“Oh, I don’t really want to leave the country either, I think it’s fine at home.” Du Yi looked relieved. l6VBjd

Tao Yuan gave him a funny look.

“The news says you can get a lot of money for the painting now, so you’re rich now, aren’t you?” Du Yi also asked.

“Sort of,” Tao Yuan said thoughtfully “We won’t have to worry about money anymore anyway.”

“When I start working, I’ll give you all the money I earn.” Du Yi said with a serious face. A6oQEC

“Okay,” said Tao Yuan on his shoulder, “I’m in charge for you until you get married.”

“Master Du, it’s time for the young master to take piano lessons.” The butler put down the seafood porridge and said to Tao Yuan.

“Yeah,” Tao Yuan nodded and turned to Du Yi, “Go ahead and take your lessons.”

“I’m going, brother.” Du Yie stood up and said. vD7TxH

The students at the noble school were required to learn several specialities, and Du Yi himself had chosen piano and fencing, and he wanted to take up horsemanship and combat arts when he was a bit more fit.

Tao Yuan watched at the news on the TV, it was reporting something related to him right now, he sighed long, it looked like he had pushed too hard this time, he was definitely going to be pestered by those people for quite some time.

Tao Yuan’s two cell phones, one only Wei Shi Cheng and Du Yei knew the number, the other line was for general use. Some of the teachers in the school, the gallery people, and some of the Chinese painting masters and Go masters all had that number, and now that things were like this, he didn’t dare to turn on it at all.

Tao Yuan thought to himself, he had overestimated his ability to cope, it was better to wait until Wei Shicheng came back, he would hide at home for the time being. 4d8tX9

Those people who wanted to buy paintings were looking for Tao Yuan all over the world, Tao Yuan could turn off his phone and hide from people, but Wei Shicheng’s work phone couldn’t be turned off, and those people who called him to find Tao Yuan delayed him quite a bit.

The director of the exhibition hall was going crazy, ever since the painting had been exhibited internally, those masters had been forcing him to contact Tao Yuan, saying that they would buy the painting even if they had to spend all their life savings on it. After the painting was exhibited generally, it immediately drew in more masters around the world, then the media came. He was about to be driven crazy by everything, but he couldn’t get in touch with Tao Yuan anyway.

A few days later, Wei Shicheng finally returned, and after discussing with Tao Yuan, they attended the press conference together. Tao Yuan explained to everyone that the painting “Elysium Punctum” would not be sold no matter how much money was offered. This was because he was going to use it as his dowry, and after his marriage, it would become his and Wei Shicheng’s joint possession to witness their love.

Tao Yuan had made it very clear that he wouldn’t sell that painting to anyone, much less to a foreign collector. As long as he was still alive, there was absolutely no way he would let the painting go abroad. T4nIwr

Tao Yuan had made it public, but would those who wanted to buy the painting give up on it? Of course not.

Tao Yuan simply didn’t go to school and didn’t live in the villa anymore. He lived with Wei Shicheng in the suburbs, painting and playing the piano every day, living a comfortable and peaceful life.

Tao Yuan knew that many people wanted to see him, and these people were either rich and powerful or in high positions. The chess sage Su Yongfu and some grandmasters, expressed their desire to meet him many times, but if he met one of them, he couldn’t avoid meeting the others, so he simply didn’t meet anyone.

Tao Yuan could be invisible, but not Wei Shicheng, who had his frustrations. yQJkdI

“There’s a guest coming tomorrow.” Wei Shicheng hugged Tao Wand and said.

“Who?” Tao Yuan leaned into his arms, his body naked under the covers, and he put his leg over his.

“A cousin of mine surnamed Liu.” Wei Shicheng said “I talked to him about a piece of land two years ago, but it never came through, and recently he suddenly contacted me and said he was willing to talk to me. But he asked you to be present as well, and I think he must have come for that painting as well.”

Tao Yuan thought about it and said: “It’s Liu Xiujie’s grandfather, isn’t it?” 1OxtyP

“Right,” said Wei Shi Cheng “I originally didn’t want to agree to him, but that piece of land is really important to the company, so I still want to talk to him. But don’t worry, I’ll never let you sell that painting to him, even if it’s ten pieces of land, I won’t agree to let you trade with him.”

That cousin of yours, does he like to play Go?” Tao Weng recalled finding out the information.

“Yes, he’s a Go enthusiast. But his Go-playing level is quite high, the chess sage may not even be his opponent.”

“Really?” Tao Wand looked absent-minded, rubbing his fingers against Wei Shicheng’s chest. L5m SN

“What? You want to play chess with him?” Wei Shi Cheng grabbed his hand and asked.

“You said his Go-playing level is no lower than that of a Go master, so he must have a lot of confidence in himself, too. Since he wants my painting, I’ll make a bet with him, if he wins I’ll give him the painting, and if he loses I’ll give him the piece of land, what do you think?”

“Not good.” Wei Shi Cheng immediately said, “That painting of yours is worth much more than that piece of land, it’s not worth risking it with the painting.”

“You have no confidence in me, huh?” Tao Yuan looked at him with a dissatisfied look. uJdwcK

“…” Wei Shicheng immediately coaxed, “This is not called having no confidence in you, this is called not taking a risk you shouldn’t.”

As a soon-to-be-married man, Wei Shicheng has learned to coax his wife all by himself, and when confronted with his questioning, sometimes it is necessary to tell some good-natured lies.

“Then it’s just a lack of faith in me, and you think I can’t hear you if you change your story? Huh?” Tao Yuan grunted forcefully and said, “I’m just going to play against him, it’s useless even if he’s better than the chess sage because the chess sage isn’t as good as me, I only let him go because I saw that he’s old.”

“Baby, listen to me, I really trust you, even chess masters make mistakes sometimes, don’t they? You can’t guarantee… either.” q2xUM9

“I won’t listen, I won’t listen! You just don’t believe me!” Tao Yuan flopped down on the bed and covered his ears vigorously.

“Baby, let’s talk about this some more, okay?” Wei Shicheng pressed over and hugged him.

Wei Shicheng eventually failed to convince Tao Yuan  Tao Yuan felt that if he was only ninety percent sure, maybe he wouldn’t even take the risk, but he was obviously two hundred percent sure, why didn’t he go for it?

The next day, Tao Yuan was in the water pavilion playing the guqin, Wei Shicheng laid next to him on the recliner, eyes closed in rest. n05x8T

After the butler came in, he reported: “Sir, Old Mr. Liu and the others are here.”

“Invite them over to outer greeting hall.” Wei Shi Cheng said with his eyes closed.

“Yes.”

A few moments after the butler left, at the sound of people entering the outer hall, Wei Shi Cheng stood up and walked out around the screen. w6xC4t

Tao Wan continued to play the guqin, he wouldn’t stop until he had finished a song, it was compulsive.

“Cousin, cousin.” Wei Shicheng greeted the people who entered and then invited them to sit down.

“Father has to make a scene, Shicheng hope you don’t mind.” Master Liu’s eldest son Liu Wang Yang said.

“Cousin no need, cousin is willing to come, I will always welcome you.” Wei Shicheng said politely. KFHYr

Master Liu did not speak after coming in, and after sitting down, he directly closed his eyes and listened carefully to the soft sounds coming from inside.

Wei Shicheng also did not disturb him, and after helping the maid serve tea, he sipped it while whispering pleasantries to Liu Wang Yang.

“Who’s playing the guqin?” Master Liu closed his eyes and asked.

“It’s Qing Yu, he has the habit of not stopping until he finishes playing a song, and when he finishes, he’ll be out.” Wei Shi Cheng said. 8bZQBx

“A rather strange man,” Master Liu stroked his beard “can play chess, can draw, and has such good guqin skills. Oh Shicheng, you’re so lucky that even your cousin is impressed.

Wei Shicheng smiled without saying anything, but in his smile, there was an unconcealed feeling of pride.

  1. in the beginning of the chapter u mistyped tao yuan’s name twice as tao weng and tao wand

    just wanted to let u know ^_^

  2. The fact that Yuan autocorrected to Wand 😂

    Also I think there was a miss type, you typed piano instead of guqin towards the end.
