Haven't finished dinner yet, have you? Let's talk after you eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed the rolled pancakes and rice porridge beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing took a bite and then looked at him, \"I don't like cilantro.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao, \"Picky even when someone buys you food. Be content, big sister, and besides, cilantro has medicinal benefits: indigestion, loss of appetite, and more. It's good stuff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing hesitated for a moment and then continued to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later, after finishing their meal, Qin Hao said to her, \"Start painting, let me see if you've made any progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing began to paint, and Qin Hao sat down and started playing with his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Fan Ruobing set down her brush and looked at him, \"I still can't capture the feeling of your painting. Teach me again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao walked over to look at her painting, a plum blossom tree, mediocre at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Practice makes perfect. Just keep painting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing, \"Teach me your technique for painting plum blossoms. It's not just about painting more; there's a knack to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao, \"What technique? I just got good because I painted a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing, looking at him, \"Hold my hand as you paint, so once I've learned, you won't have to come teach me every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao, surprised, \"Hold your hand? How can I teach that way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing, \"By holding my hand as you paint. That way, I can clearly see your movements and techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao looked at her fair and slender fingers, \"Is this okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not? Hurry up; don't waste time,\" Fan Ruobing said as she changed the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Fan Ruobing bent down beside the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao walked over, stood behind her, and then leaned forward slightly, gently grasping her fair, delicate hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cool sensation passed to him; though autumn had arrived, the weather hadn't turned cool yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coolness was coming entirely from Fan Ruobing's body, and he couldn't help thinking of the idiom \"ice skin and jade bones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could such legendary descriptions actually exist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao's cheeks flushed, and he felt awkward, \"Club President, this... this doesn't seem appropriate. Let's just forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were both bending over, it felt a bit too intimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this continued, he really feared he would lose self-control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing's expression was cool, unchanged, \"What's wrong with you teaching me to paint? Let's start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao took a deep breath, holding Fan Ruobing's hand, he began to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing seriously observed the movement of the brush, as well as the pressure and precision of his strokes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao, to keep from being distracted, invested himself in the painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later, a painting of a beauty admiring plum blossoms emerged on the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He depicted what resembled an ancient palace garden, in the depth of winter with all flowers withered except the plum blossoms standing alone in their glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An anciently dressed lady stood before a plum tree, one hand grasping a twig, body leaning forward, seemingly inhaling the fragrance of the blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing was stunned by the painting; she was captivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immersed herself in the mood of the painting, imagining herself as the beauty on the paper, alone in a garden during the winter, savoring the fragrance of plum blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, she came back to her senses and said, \"Put your name on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I'll write it now,\" Qin Hao quickly replied, moving slightly back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing, seeing that he hadn't written, asked, \"Why aren't you writing? Your handwriting is very attractive too. I want to learn it, write.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao leaned forward, hurriedly inscribed his name on the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing felt something odd in her body and frowned, \"What's in your pocket?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? Sorry, it might be my car keys. I need to use the restroom first,\" Qin Hao said, then darted out with remarkable speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing didn't even turn around, still intently observing the painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later, Qin Hao returned, back to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing, at another desk with a brush in hand, focused and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao felt a bit embarrassed; fortunately, he hadn't been discovered, or he truly didn't know how Fan Ruobing would react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scream? Get physical?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Fan Ruobing turned to him, a glint of happiness in her eyes, \"It really works. I feel like I've made a lot of progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao offered a dry laugh, \"That's good, it wasn't in vain that I put in so much effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing, in a tone of no debate, said, \"Continue teaching me like this tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Thud*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao nearly fell to the floor, pleading, \"Club President, isn't once enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing looked at him with her beautiful eyes, unsmiling, but Qin Hao felt the temperature in the studio drop several degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips parted lightly, \"Are you unwilling to teach me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao explained, \"It's not that I'm unwilling, Club President, but men and women should keep their distance. It's too intimate when I teach you. If others see this, it could tarnish your reputation, and of course, it might affect me a little too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Qin Hao mentally gave himself a pat on the back for his quick thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing paused and then said, \"I don't mind. What about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao didn't know how to respond. Fan Ruobing herself had said it didn't matter; how should he reply?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Club President, I still feel it's not quite right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing, \"Say what's not right directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao hesitated for a moment and finally confessed, \"I'm a normal man, and you're so beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm afraid I'll react in a way that will make us both uncomfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A physiological reaction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing spoke without giving it another thought, \"That's fine, as long as it's not deliberate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao was somewhat speechless; she could accept even that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't quite fathom what was going on in Fan Ruobing's mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing said to him, \"Come and see my painting. Have I improved since just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1084,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.655Z",1,"novelbin.me","33740d18179cecad3404caa17be114d74abafe8b65d3ee0eba5bc3efcdf92b31","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-287","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-372",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
