Chapter 2201: You Are My Only Color 36

Wen Jin finally began cooperating with taking medicine.

The psychologist was greatly shocked and pressed Jin Chen on how he managed to do that.

After asking about the method, he still held the same idea as before.

That is——only Jin Chen can use it.

Whoever else tried, it wouldn't be called hoping to recall the past; it would be like repeatedly stepping on old scars, and Wen Jin would instantly kill them for it.

Once his condition stabilized, Wen Jin finally stepped out of his inner cage and no longer confined Jin Chen.

At the same time, Jin Chen noticed that Wen Jin seemed to be secretly plotting something.

To make the surprise even more surprising, Jin Chen decided not to investigate further and, as a side bet, wagered 2000 points with Ling Gun Gun on whether it would be a surprise or a fright.

Based on his absolute trust in his wife, Jin Chen believed it was a surprise.

Meanwhile, Ling Gun Gun, from the clear-eyed bystander's perspective, firmly believed it would be a fright.

After the plum‑rain season passed, at the dusk when the last downpour had just let up.

Wen Jin's pen tip blotted ink on the will document as he signed his name.

Inside the reception room.

Zhao Pei chewed his nails while pacing beside the sofa, "I still don't get it—who the hell proposes marriage and first makes a will?"

Shen Qiu tried to understand, "Maybe it's a custom of the rich…?"

Yun Liu: "……I think it's purely Professor Wen's personal idea."

Just two hours earlier, they received a notice from Wen Jin's assistant, informing them, as Jin Chen's friends, to come as witnesses to the proposal.

As soon as they arrived, they heard Professor Wen, whom they hadn't seen in a while, finalizing the will's details with the lawyer.

The three were still discussing in surprise when the reception room door knocked again; Yu Lan invited them to go to the exhibition hall.

"Oh right, tomorrow is the opening of Xiao Chen's art exhibition," Shen Qiu hissed, "They wouldn't pick the exhibition hall for a proposal, would they? Isn't that place not open to the public except for its public‑welfare purpose?"

Yu Lan replied between tasks: "Yes, but the building housing the exhibition hall is under Mr. Wen's name."

The three roommates: "……."

Yun Liu sighed, "Professor Wen's money‑making ability is just insane."

——

Jin Chen had thought it might be a proposal.

So, from the moment he got the call from the cooperating party saying they'd finalize the last check for tomorrow's exhibition hall opening, to when he entered the decorated exhibition hall, he had been prepared.

Yet he still marveled at Wen Jin's thoughtfulness, and… the confidence that he would accept.

After all, Jin Chen had never seen anyone propose while also summoning Civil Affairs Bureau staff to the scene so they could get the certificate on the spot.

Jin Chen had just accepted Wen Jin's confession, still wearing the ring set with a rare blue diamond, when he was immediately pulled in front of the red cloth to take an ID photo.

The roommates hadn't expected that either.

"Holy shit……" Zhao Pei wiped away his moving, hiccupy tears, "How is that possible? My Xiao Chen goes from fiancé to legitimate spouse without any transition?"

Yun Liu speculated, "Then… Professor Wen never considered that Xiao Chen might…… refuse?"

Shen Qiu tried again to understand, "Little black room warning."

Zhao Pei and Yun Liu, who had heard of it before: "……."

Yu Lan stood beside them, pushed up her glasses that saw through the truth, and said, "Only a legal spouse can sign a will."

Thus, by the time the ID photo was finished and they held the red book on site, Jin Chen firmly believed it was a surprise.

Until the moment he saw the cover of the will.

The smile on Jin Chen's face twitched slightly.

Ling Gun Gun yelled, "【Main God's fright, though late, has arrived!】"

2000 points! Got it!

Jin Chen stiffened for a few moments, then glanced sideways at Wen Jin and still laughed.

"Signing a will at the proposal scene?"

Wen Jin's voice tightened a bit; he had imagined Jin Chen would get angry, would refuse, but he still went ahead unreservedly.

"Everything I can give is in this stack of paper."

He opened the ink pad, gently pulled Jin Chen's fingertip over, and said, "Xiao Chen, I want you to be the first heir of my estate."

All of it.

The will listed in detail all of Wen Jin's assets; the figure was so huge that anyone who saw the document would be stunned.

Jin Chen received the property that made Wen's relatives' eyes turn red with envy.

This is Wen Jin's confession alone.

Seeing Jin Chen's lack of reaction, Wen Jin panicked badly and added, "I know you'll stay with me for life, but I want to use this method to bind us more deeply in legal terms."

Jin Chen fell silent for a moment, and a gentle smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

"You really…… leave people with no way to handle you."

He still let Wen Jin take his hand, press it into the ink, and stamp it onto the will.

【Villain Blackening Value detected -10, total 0!】

Ling Gun Gun immediately said: 【You didn't lose either!】

——

As a now‑somewhat‑famous artist, Jin Chen's art exhibition went off very smoothly.

The exhibition also proceeded smoothly, and what was displayed on site was not only his paintings but also Wen Jin's.

The lights in the exhibition hall made every painting shine brilliantly.

Wu You stood in the corner of the exhibition hall, wearing a worn‑out canvas bag, his gaze falling on the huge poster in the center.

That painting 'Starry Night' was personally mixed by Mr. Wen." The tour guide's voice came from behind, "It is said that Teacher Jin's favorite pigment was used......"

Wu You gripped the cheap sketchbook tightly, the paper all wrinkled from being pinched.

He once imagined that his own paintings could also be displayed in such a splendid exhibition hall, but now he can't even afford a paintbrush.

Watching the endless flow of people in the exhibition hall, he gritted his teeth and turned, disappearing at the end of the corridor.

On the display board in the center of the exhibition hall, Jin Chen's handwritten introduction glowed with a gentle halo under the warm light.

Wen Jin's gaze rested on the final paragraph:

These paintings are not only my creations, but also the love chapter written together with my beloved. Every stroke of color carries our story, from the breathtaking glance at our first meeting to the countless little moments of staying together now. I hope that through these paintings, I can share the world as we see it with every viewer, conveying this intense color and affection.

Wen Jin slowly finished viewing the entire exhibition, standing in a corner of the hall, his fingertips lightly brushing over the characters on the display board.

In the pupils behind the lenses, the room's brilliant colors were reflected.

Jin Chen squeezed out from the media interview and finally had some free time.

He tilted his head to look at Wen Jin, "Professor Wen, are you still satisfied with my work?"

If the will is Wen Jin's confession, then the exhibition is Jin Chen's heartfelt intention.

Wen Jin pulled him into his embrace, his voice soft as a whisper.

"A confession more moving than the will."

The anti-paparazzi glass reflected their intertwined silhouettes, this being the only corner of the entire exhibition area without surveillance installed.

Wen Jin took off his glasses, and a kiss landed on Jin Chen's lips, mingling with the tangled ambiguous atmosphere, affection continuous.

"Starry Night" is, in the true sense, the first work they completed together, and also the one that took the longest time.

In this work, Wen Jin used many colors that even his former self had never tried; each stroke that landed expressed the emotions from deep within the soul.

And to this day, Jin Chen remains, for him, the most intense color in the world.
