Coincidentally, Xu Jiaojiao did not have class today, so she finished her painting at home.

At noon, she finally took the painting to the art gallery, but unfortunately, she could not find Huo Siming anywhere.

After asking the staff, she found out that Huo Siming had waited from the afternoon until late at night yesterday. Before he left, he told the staff to throw the painting away.

“Where did you throw it?” Xu Jiaojiao’s face was filled with anxiety.

“I threw it into the trash can in the back alley,” the staff informed her.

Xu Jiaojiao took a deep breath and hurriedly turned around to go to the back alley.

This was a place specially used to store trash cans. There were about a dozen of them. In the summer, this place was even more smelly.

However, Xu Jiaojiao did not care and started rummaging through the nearest trash can.

After flipping through the trash a few times, a lot of flies swarmed around her. The smell was really unpleasant. Xu Jiaojiao wanted to vomit a few times, but she did not want to give up like this, so she straightened her body and continued to search.

There was no classification of the trash here. Everything was mixed together, from junk to food scraps. The leftover takeout was especially disgusting.

It was summer, and the sun was scorching hot. Xu Jiaojiao’s back was drenched in sweat, and her clothes were soon drenched, sticking to her body. It was very uncomfortable.

She searched eight or nine cans in a row with her weak arms, but she could not find it at all.

Exhausted, she did not care about the mess and sat on the ground.

“You gave up so quickly? It seems that you don’t like it much.” A cold voice suddenly came from beside her. Even in this hot summer, she could not help but shiver.

Xu Jiaojiao looked up and met Huo Siming’s eyes. There seemed to be no emotion in his eyes, and his facial features were exceptionally cold.

“Huo Siming!” Xu Jiaojiao was extremely excited to see him.

Her attitude did not improve his. “Who are you? Do we know each other?”

Xu Jiaojiao knew that he was angry. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I missed our appointment because I had something particularly important to do yesterday.” Then, she bowed deeply to him.

However, he did not seem to buy it. “If apologizing solves everything, why do we need the police?”

“Regardless, I still have to apologize to you. It’s my fault, so I have to admit it.” Xu Jiaojiao did not care if he accepted it or not. In any case, she was in the wrong, so she apologized first. “Still, I just broke my promise. I don’t think it has anything to do with the police, right?”

“It’s a pity that the painting has already been thrown into the trash can. Even if you find it, it’s useless now.” Huo Siming’s eyes were still cold.

“How do you know if it’s useless? Do you know which trash can it’s in?” Xu Jiaojiao asked tentatively.

“I don’t know,” Huo Siming replied firmly and coldly.

“If you don’t know, then forget it. I’ll find it myself.” Xu Jiaojiao encouraged herself. She had already searched eight or nine trash cans. There weren’t many left. If she persevered, she might be able to find it soon.

She rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start.

Huo Siming watched as she rummaged through the trash can without any regard for her own safety. A glint flashed across his eyes before his gaze landed on the painting tube in the corner.

His heart seemed to be bewitched by something. He walked to the painting tube and opened it…

A familiar face entered his sight. The man in the painting had a vivid look in his eyes. His facial features were handsome, perfectly accentuated by the colors and the lighting…

“Did you draw me?” Huo Siming asked.

“That’s right!” Xu Jiaojiao replied as she rummaged through the smelly trash can. Her clothes were already dirty, and her hair was tied up in a bun. Beads of sweat had already drenched her hair.

“You’ve only seen me once and you can draw me already?” Huo Siming was in disbelief.

“That’s right! I often draw people, so I’m especially sensitive to facial features. I can remember faces very quickly,” Xu Jiaojiao replied. “Besides, you look a little like someone I know.”

Huo Siming did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the painting for a long time.

“Stop!” he finally said.

“No, I have to find it. I really like that painting. Even if it’s damaged, I have to repair it.” Xu Jiaojiao was persistent as she wiped the sweat from her temples.

“I told you to stop.” Huo Siming grabbed her wrist.

“I already said no.” Xu Jiaojiao wanted to continue, but Huo Siming grabbed her and stopped her from moving. “I didn’t throw the painting away,” Huo Siming said as he shook off her hand with a look of disdain.

“You didn’t throw it away?” Xu Jiaojiao smiled excitedly.

“I didn’t throw it away. I’ll give it to you,” Huo Siming said.

“That’s great! Thank you!” Xu Jiaojiao was overjoyed.

“You’re still thanking me?” Huo Siming could not understand. He had lied to her and said that he had thrown the painting away, causing her to search through all these dirty trash cans.. Despite that, she still thanked him? Was she stupid?!
