Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 645: A Life of Regret

There was no embarrassment at all, and the look of taking it for granted made the woman beside him smile even more. If it were me, even if I really married her, I probably wouldn't be able to do this.

Gui Jingan sighed deeply, looking at the leaves that fluttered and fell in the garden from time to time, and thought to himself: "I wish the autumn wind would understand my feelings and relieve the unrest in my heart."

Life is like this. Others only see the surface, and you have to go through the whole process alone. When facing outsiders, you have to pretend. When facing life, you have to keep going.

I have no choice and no way out. I can look back at my past, but I cannot go back...

In one’s lifetime, one will meet many people and things, but not all encounters will be timely and fulfilling.

But, I have to live my life with regrets, and the road ahead is long and full of obstacles.

Hualei didn't know Gui Jijiu's thoughts, and she didn't know Gui Jingan's sadness. She saw that the Chinese New Year was just two months away. This was Hualei's third year in Mobei, and Jinnian was already one and a half years old.

Now, Jinnian can start to walk a short distance unsteadily. Although his walking is still unstable and he sometimes falls, he is now quite capable.

And he would also simply say some words and phrases. However, because there were no cameras like in the previous life, nor online videos, Lord Pei and Madam Pei in Shangjing City had not seen Jinnian yet.

Therefore, Hua Lei decided to let Rong Jin paint a portrait of Jin Nian and send it back before the New Year. On this day, while Rong Jin was free, after lunch, Hua Lei specially changed Jin Nian into the robe sent by Madam Pei, and asked Rong Jin to start painting Jin Nian's portrait.

Ever since Jinnian was born, Old Madam Pei would from time to time send Jinnian robes that she had sewn herself. Although the workmanship was not very good, the material was really good, and Hualei didn't dislike it at all.

Originally, Rong Jin wanted Jinnian to sit on the chair and draw according to his instructions. However, the active Jinnian only sat for less than half a cup of tea before he twisted his body and could not sit still.

Even though Hualei and the maids and servants tried to coax her with kind words and used all kinds of snacks and toys, Jinnian was still restless.

Rong Jin was adjusting the colors on the side. Seeing Jinnian unable to sit down, he did not say anything to stop her. Instead, he let Hua Lei sit aside and drink tea by herself.

Hualei had studied painting for a long time, but she still felt that she was not good enough, so she stood behind Rong Jin and watched.

Rong Jin mixed the paint, looked at Jinnian walking around in the yard, and after hovering the paintbrush over the drawing paper for a few times, he carefully put his brush on the blank paper.

Occasionally, he followed Jinnian's figure in deep thought, while occasionally adding a few strokes to the drawing paper. His wrist moved flexibly on the drawing paper, and sometimes dipped into the paint beside it, and the blue veins on the back of his hand became faintly visible.

The warm winter sun shines on his well-defined face, and the mottled shadows and pigments on the paper create a picture, which makes the flower buds on one side unconsciously fascinated.

In the past few years, Rong Jin has lost his youthful immaturity and has gradually matured. Perhaps because he has been working in the civil service, Rong Jin's skin has become much whiter and his temperament has become more gentle and jade-like.

At this moment, he was standing in the warm afternoon sun, his moon-white brocade robe fluttering in the wind, his hair was loosely tied up with a white jade crown, and a few strands of hair inadvertently fell in front of his forehead, adding a bit of tenderness to him.

"The person in the painting is the person in the painting," Hua Lei exclaimed quietly in her heart. Looking at Rong Jin's beautiful face, Hua Lei swallowed quietly.

It's a pity that I can't draw, otherwise I would draw this picture of father and son and send it back to Shangjing City. My grandparents would be so happy when they saw it.

After more than half an hour, Rong Jin finished the painting. Looking at the lifelike Jinnian on the drawing paper, Hua Lei couldn't help but praise, "Husband, your painting is so good, it's exactly the same. Grandpa and grandma will definitely be happy when they see it."

Rong Jin carefully put down the brush in his hand, picked up the drawing paper, and said with a satisfied smile: "It looks very similar, right? I think it's good too. Sister Hua, can I draw one for you too?"

"Ah? No need for that?" Hua Lei declined.

"If we don't send it back to the capital, we will keep it for ourselves. When we are old, we can take it out and look at it." Rong Jin spread out another blank piece of drawing paper.

Hualei paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then my husband will help me draw a picture. However, it must be beautiful. If it is not beautiful, I will be angry."

"That won't do, Sister Hua. If you are ugly, I can't draw you to look good." Rong Jin said sarcastically.

"Tsk, am I not good-looking? I think I am very good-looking. I'm just worried that your paintbrush can't depict one tenth of my beauty." Hua Lei sat down on the chair and chuckled.

Rong Jin looked at the flower bud carefully for a while, raised the corners of his mouth, and coaxed softly: "Sister Hua, you are right, you are really beautiful, and you are getting more and more beautiful."

Hualei glanced at Rong Jin, her eyebrows curved involuntarily, and she said nothing. Rong Jin picked up the paintbrush.

In the past two years, the buds have grown. Although I go out often, my skin is not easily tanned by the sun. It will become white again if I cover it up a little.

In addition, with proper conditioning and maintenance, even after giving birth, her figure has not changed, but has become even more curvy.

At this time, she was wearing a silver-red home dress, which made her skin look even whiter. Her black hair was tied into a bun, with a simple white jade hairpin inserted in it, and a pair of white jade earrings on her earlobes, which was fresh and elegant.

Rong Jin couldn't help but pursed his lips and looked at the drawing paper. The sun was warm and there was a slight breeze. Two people, one sitting and the other standing, didn't speak, but they became a beautiful painting.

I don't know if it was Hualei's heart that was moved, or Rongjin's feelings that were moved. That night, the two of them threw Jinnian to the nurse, and the two of them were frank with each other on the kang, entangled, and rolled over and over all night.

It was not until the night was deep and the moon was hidden that Rong Jin fell asleep contentedly hugging Hualei. This year, the couple's married life was full of variety and endless.

It has been explored and developed from the initial one or two moves to 108 moves, and the difficulty has also increased from the initial entry level to high difficulty.

At the beginning, Hua Lei was a little shy, but after Rong Jin's careful training and extreme coaxing, Hua Lei has now become shameless.

In addition, Rong Jin has excellent skills and great physical strength, which makes Hua Lei forget everything else and feel ecstatic every time. So even if she wakes up with sore waist and weak legs the next day, Hua Lei will try her best to satisfy her.
