Half a Sect Master

Discharged

Yin Rui had a dream. His sleep was always deep and quiet, so dreams rarely appeared, but today, probably because of a different pillow, he actually dreamed about his Fan.

 He dreamed that he was looking at Fan’s portrait in the dark room. Later, the portrait came to life, and a man walked out of it, dressed in white, sitting there quietly with his head bowed. Even though he had never seen him before, Yin Rui knew, That’s his Fan.

Yin Rui stared blankly at the figure sitting there, only to find that the Fan dressed in white sat there for a while, but then suddenly got up and walked away, without looking in his direction from the beginning to the end, Yin Rui got anxious and got up. After chasing him for a long time, he finally grabbed the corner of his robe. Yin Rui pulled it hard, and the person who always had his back facing Yin Rui turned around, but the face was blank.

Yin Rui woke up gasping for breath, only to find that the sky was bright and the night had passed. Yin Rui suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly opened the hidden compartment on the inside of the wall. When he saw the letter lying inside, the expression on his face calmed down a little.

Taking out the letter paper inside, Yin Rui read it carefully. When he saw the letter complaining about the discomfort of the new pillow, Yin Rui showed a smile on his face, and answered with a pen, “If you are uncomfortable, you can add a layer of cushions, however, no change is allowed.” Although he couldn’t see Fan’s expression, he could imagine that Fan must be a little bit unwilling when he saw this, but he would not go against his words. He’ll probably just write a small story about respecting the old, but nothing else than that.

The corners of Yin Rui’s mouth twitched slightly, and as long as he thought about Fan’s reaction, he would have something to look forward to in his day.

But the smile on his face didn’t last long, Yin Rui unexpectedly thought of the dream from last night, and grabbed that person full of expectation, but still couldn’t see his face, pouring a pot of cold water was nothing more than that.

Fan…what does he look like?

“Fan, what do you look like?”

“Well, I’m…very handsome.” After writing this sentence, Bai Fan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with embarrassment.

“Can you be more specific?”

“Two eyes and one nose.”

Sunshine flooded the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but Bai Fan lay on the big bed without the intention to get up. He turned over, pulled the quilt to cover his head, and thought about his situation carefully… Yin Rui, it seems that he has been asking that question very frequently recently, is it because of curiosity…? That’s right, he knows Yin Rui’s appearance clearly, but Yin Rui has no idea what he looks like, after all, he has been with him for ten years, how could he not be curious?

If possible, he really wanted to show Yin Rui a photo, but Bai Fan grabbed his head in distress, since he couldn’t bring anything over to that world.

How about drawing a portrait…? Bai Fan’s expression became more entangled. For piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Yin Nanhan had asked someone to teach them, but not one was perfect. He is very talented in chess and composing music isn’t that hard, but when it comes to painting, he had no talent at all. On the other hand, Yin Rui is very good at calligraphy and painting, but his music composition was not as good as his. They are using the same body. In order to take care of each other, they simply show that they are not good at all the subjects, so that those gentlemen can only shake their heads and sigh in the end: the young master is willing to work hard, but is limited by his talent, it may be difficult for him to achieve great heights in this life.

Fortunately, Yin Nanhan cared the most about martial arts, as long as he knew a little about other aspects to the level where he wasn’t embarrassed, it was enough.

It was precisely because of Yin Nanhan’s attitude and Yin Rui’s help in cheating, Bai Fan’s paintings have always stayed at the level of drawing a lotus leaf and two fish with a brush. As for human figures, it was very difficult. He had never drawn any portrait of a person with correct facial features, all of them had crooked mouths and squinting eyes. Bai Fan felt that he would be under a lot of pressure to draw self-portraits with this level.

Bai Fan thought of giving up for a moment, but then, Yin Rui’s carefully upholstered porcelain pillow appeared in his mind. Every night, there were all his favorite dishes, and even most of the furnishings in the room are all based on his own preferences. Even if it was a matter that he didn’t care much about in everyday life, as long as he mentioned it in the letter, Yin Rui would help him achieve it. A tiny thing like Yin Rui’s curiosity about how he looked, how could Bai Fan not do anything for him?

Bai Fan got up from the bed violently, because he practiced calligraphy every day, so he kept a pen and ink in his room. He spread out a paper then faced the mirror and tried to draw himself, but in the end he could barely draw a human figure. None of his facial features are close to his own, and there is a big black spot on his nose because he painted too hard. Bai Fan crumpled up the painting of “him” with a defeated look on his face, and sighed while touching his forehead.

Should I give up? Do I really want to give up like this? Yin Rui’s moist eyes seem to appear in front of Bai Fan’s mind. Well, moist eyes are just his fantasy, he has never seen how Yin Rui’s eyes were, but he found that if he just gave up like this, he would really feel guilty. Forget it, I will treat it as a gift for Yin Rui. For him, I will learn to paint.

Bai Fan thought about it carefully. It is difficult to have a very high similarity between the characters drawn in ink, and it takes a long time to practice well. In contrast, sketching seems to be simpler, plus it can be as good as a picture taken by a camera.

After making up his mind, Bai Fan dialed his assistant’s phone number, “Hey, Xiao Wang, um, help me recruit an artist  who can draw character sketches, the level should not be too bad, and the time can be allocated freely, and it should be someone who could teach at home…”

After ordering Xiao Wang to recruit people, Bai Fan eased his eyebrows, went into the bathroom to wash up, and then walked out lazily, “Xiao Jun, is breakfast ready?”

They were discharged from the hospital a few days ago, and Bai Fan’s wound recovered well. The doctor told him not to exercise strenuously and eat more blood-enriching food, other than that, there was no serious problem.

There are some changes in life after returning home and before being hospitalized. First, a layer of power grid has been installed around the villa, and cameras were installed at each entrance. The overall defense has been upgraded to a higher level. There is even a ferocious hunting dog, as long as it smells a stranger, it will immediately bark in warning.

Of course, the biggest change is that Bai Fan has an extra cohabitant, his personal bodyguard, Xiao Jun. At first, Bai Fan was a little uncomfortable with the disturbance of his solitary life for so many years. But now that several days have passed by, he realized this kind of life was not bad at all, at least he doesn’t have to do housework or make breakfast by himself.

Hearing Bai Fan’s call, Gongyi Jun came out of the kitchen with a dark face, and slammed a plate of poached eggs on the table with a not so gentle movement.

Bai Fan turned a blind eye to Gongyi Jun’s reluctance, and glanced at the unattractive poached eggs on the plate.

“Still clumsy,” he shook his head.
