Chapter 1654: Turns Out His Injuries Had Not Healed

Xie Wanyi was deeply captivated.

He watched without blinking, as if the time around them had frozen...

Jiang Motian could feel a burning gaze behind her.

But every time she turned around, she could only see Xie Wanyi looking down at his phone.

So... was it her own hallucination?

It was very likely; the sunlight was very strong today, so it must have been the light baking her back that caused her to have a misconception.

Jiang Motian stopped letting her imagination run wild.

She focused her mind and held her breath, concentrating on her painting.

Once she finished painting, Jiang Motian took two steps back to admire it.

And as she stepped back, she ended up standing right next to Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi was also looking at the painting, and he said, "I like that butterfly."

A butterfly!?

This answer made Jiang Motian feel slightly surprised.

She turned her head to the side and asked, "In this painting, shouldn't the first thing you notice be the strangely shaped architecture?"

"This building is drawn very brilliantly, but the most spirited thing in the painting is that butterfly. It feels very lonely, as if these high-rise buildings are imprisoning it, leaving it unable to be free."

Xie Wanyi's words made Jiang Motian's heart give a fierce jolt!

She averted her gaze in some disarray and said with a stiff tone, "You're overthinking it!"

"Perhaps, but this is my thought. As for the work, everyone's perspective is different, and their feelings are different too; this can be considered one of the charms of art."

Xie Wanyi's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

The content he spoke was also standard and proper.

It left no room for criticism.

Yet, to Jiang Motian's ears, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Her tense nerves also slowly relaxed.

That's right, works are meant for people to critique.

Even if someone saw the deep meaning she hid at the bottom of the painting, that would just be an emotional resonance between the two parties.

It didn't amount to anything.

After thinking about it this way, Jiang Motian was completely relieved.

She smiled at Xie Wanyi and began to pack up her painting tools.

Xie Wanyi helped out on the side, and from time to time, he would take another look at the painting.

Jiang Motian's painting skills were naturally beyond reproach.

But whether it was this painting today or the one she took to the competition, they were both very... world-weary.

This was very strange.

She was clearly a young girl who had never tasted the hardships of life, so why did her state of mind seem as if she had experienced many twists and turns?

Xie Wanyi couldn't help but feel curious.

But he couldn't ask, because he didn't want to make Jiang Motian feel awkward.

All his questions could only be hidden in the bottom of his heart.

After packing up her things, Jiang Motian took Xie Wanyi to the company.

The company's Security Manager recognized Jiang Motian, and as soon as they met, he said with a smile, "Why has the young lady come? Are you here to look for the boss?"

Jiang Motian shook her head, then pushed the person beside her forward and said, "My friend wants to apply to be a Security Guard."

Uh...

The young lady's friend...

Wants to be a Security Guard?

The Security Manager always felt that Jiang Motian was teasing him.

But whether it was Jiang Motian or Xie Wanyi, both of their expressions were completely serious.

There was no other way, so the Security Manager had to say seriously, "Since it's an introduction from the young lady, this person must be very excellent. However, we still have to go through the necessary procedures."

Jiang Motian did not object.

In any case, no matter what the procedure was, Xie Wanyi would succeed.

Afterward, the manager personally took Xie Wanyi to fill out an application form and undergo physical and psychological tests.

And the results of the tests...

Were very eye-catching.

The manager even felt that it was a waste of talent for someone so excellent to be a Security Guard.

After hesitating for a moment, the manager said tactfully, "Actually, you could choose another position."

Xie Wanyi knew what the manager was implying.

As long as he nodded, the manager could give him a better position.

But Xie Wanyi refused without hesitation.

He even said, "I want to move up step by step, otherwise everyone will only think that I relied on Miss Jiang to get a good position."

Thinking about it, that was also correct.

The infighting and gossip in the workplace were also very hurtful.

Moving a little slower could instead allow for a steady and solid foundation.

The manager looked at Xie Wanyi, his eyes filled with a bit more appreciation: "It's rare for you to be so down-to-earth, so come to work tomorrow!"

"Many thanks."

As the words fell, Xie Wanyi was about to thank Jiang Motian again.

But upon turning around, he discovered that Jiang Motian was staring with a serious expression at... his shoulder.

Jiang Motian had intended to say something, and her lips had even moved.

But in the end, Jiang Motian said nothing at all, instead turning around to walk away first.

This reaction of hers left Xie Wanyi completely bewildered.

He wanted to figure out what was wrong with Jiang Motian, so he quickened his pace to catch up.

But Jiang Motian suddenly turned around, and raising her hand, she gave Xie Wanyi's shoulder a forceful pat.

Xie Wanyi was completely unprepared, and a sensation of pain immediately spread throughout his body!

Seeing Xie Wanyi's expression change drastically and his body tremble, Jiang Motian knew that her guess had been correct!

"The injury on your shoulder hasn't healed at all!!"

Xie Wanyi had already steadied himself and asked in a flat tone, "What injury?"

"Still pretending? Fine, then unbutton your shirt and let me see! If you aren't injured, I will apologize to you!"

Jiang Motian was anxious; ignoring whatever response Xie Wanyi might have, she raised her hand to unbutton the other's shirt.

Xie Wanyi immediately pressed down on her hand, saying with a stiff expression, "This... in public, it's not very appropriate."

"Then let's go to that corner over there!"

As she spoke, Jiang Motian grabbed Xie Wanyi and started to pull him along.

But Xie Wanyi stood his ground and pulled Jiang Motian back.

This time, Xie Wanyi did not speak; he simply looked at Jiang Motian helplessly.

It was clear he had conceded.

A moment later, he even admitted it himself: "My injury has not healed."

"Then let's go to the Hospital right now; your injury cannot be delayed any longer!"

"But I don't want to go to the Hospital."

"Why?!"

Xie Wanyi lowered his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he explained, "I have a trauma; I once... watched my best friend pass away at the Hospital."

Jiang Motian had not expected such a complication, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Afterwards, Jiang Motian rubbed her forehead and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize; you are doing this for my own good."

"But your injury..."

Jiang Motian suddenly thought of something, and she said eagerly, "I can invite a Doctor to come over, that way you won't be afraid!"

This idea was truly imaginative.

But... it was not impossible.

However, Xie Wanyi did not want to trouble Jiang Motian, so he smiled and declined, "There's no need."

"Yes there is, yes there is; this Doctor is especially gentle and has great skills, so it won't trigger your trauma."

"But..."

"Listen to me on this; I can't let you be willful anymore!"

Jiang Motian suddenly wore a serious expression, her attitude firm, refusing to allow the other to decline.

And this overbearing action of hers caused a strange feeling to suddenly flash through Xie Wanyi's heart.

Under Xie Wanyi's gaze, Jiang Motian took out her phone and dialed a number.

Once the call connected, Jiang Motian asked in a sweet voice, "Aunt Xin'ai, could I ask a favor of you?"
