Love So Sweet

528 Found a Reason

After Zhang Yi Hai left for Capital City, Fang Su Jin has been staying in his studio with her paintings, hoping that time would pass very quickly to that she could see her boyfriend again.

Each day, the couple would have a video call for hours. However, Fang Su Jin had never mentioned her plan to visit him in Capital City on the day that he finished his exam.

Thinking of the way he would react when they met later made her excited. She was very much looking forward to that day to come!

Fang Su Jin put down her brush and took a few steps back to look at her finished paintings. The corner of her lips tilted up, feeling satisfied with the new paintings she made.

She wiped her hand on a cloth and picked up her phone. She scrolled her contact book and finally called a number.

There was a brief tone before the other party picked up the call.

“Hello? Su Jin?”

Fang Su Jin heaved a breath of relief upon hearing the man’s voice. “Teacher Jiang, hello.”

“It has been a while since I heard from you.” The man laughed.

.....

“Sorry, Teacher Jiang. These past few weeks, I have been busy with helping a friend with her wedding. I did not have the chance to call you. Teacher Jiang, how are you?”

“I’m doing fine.” Teacher Jiang heaved a sigh. “It’s just as usual. When you get older, your bones are starting to hurt. Su Jin, when are you going to come to Capital City? Remember that collaboration we talked about in F Country? If everything goes well, they would request you to come up with a few paintings soon.”

“Teacher Jiang, this is also the reason I called you today.”

“Hey, I just know that you would not call me for no reason,” the elder man joked around. “Alright. What is it that you have to tell me?”

“Teacher Jiang, recently, I have completed two paintings. I wonder if you are in Capital City? Can I come over to see you? I wanted to show you the paintings and ask for your opinion.”

The elder man’s expression lit up upon hearing that his student had completed two paintings for him to see. “Of course, of course. Su Jin, you know that you could come over any time.”

“Then, will you be in Capital City by the end of this month?”

“I don’t have anything planned,” Teacher Jiang spoke as he checked his calendar. “Just tell me when you have purchased your tickets. Should I go and pick you up at the airport?”

“No. Teacher Jiang, you don’t have to worry about me. I know how to manage.”

“Alright. Su Jin, this time, you definitely have to come over to my place. I will ask my wife to cook your favorite food.”

The mentor and student chatted for a while before they finally ended the phone call.

Fang Su Jin stared at her phone and heaved a sigh in relief. She already found a reason for her to visit Zhang Yi Hai in Capital City.

After tidying up her studio and washing up for a bit, Fang Su Jin headed downstairs and the sweet and fragrant scent of chocolate cake wafted around.

She headed to the kitchen and found that her mother was cutting a slice of cake that she had put on the cooling rack.

“Mom, that smell delicious,” Fang Su Jin spoke as she appeared in the kitchen.

Mother Fang smiled helplessly as she looked at her daughter. The past few days, whenever her daughter was not busy helping her best friend with her wedding preparation, she would be staying in her studio for a long time. Mother Fang knew that when her daughter was inspired, she would stay in her studio for a long time without caring about anything else.

Seeing that her daughter had come out, Mother Fang guessed that her daughter should have finished the paintings that she has been working on.

Mother Fang picked up a slice of chocolate cake and held it close to her daughter’s lips. “Have a taste. Is it good? Too sweet?”

Fang Su Jin took a bite from the cake and heaved a sigh. “Mom, the cake you made is delicious as usual. It’s not too sweet. It’s moist and rich.”

Mother Fang smiled happily upon getting her daughter’s praise. “When are you going to meet with Li Xue again? The next time you go to Zhang’s house, remember to bring some cakes I bake for them.”

“Mom, I know. I planned to meet with Li Xue tomorrow. She wanted me to look at a few decoration items.”

“That’s good. I will pack up the cakes and let you bring them tomorrow.” Mother Fang began to busy herself around the kitchen. After a while, she found that her daughter was lingering around the kitchen. “Are you done with your paintings? You have been spending a long time in your studio recently.”

“Mmm... I managed to complete some paintings.” Fang Su Jin recalled her conversation with her mentor a while ago and smiled. “Mom, I’m planning to head over to Capital City at the end of the month.”

“What are you going to do there? I thought that you would be busy helping Li Xue with her wedding preparation?”

“I told Teacher Jiang about my paintings and he wanted me to go over and show them to him,” Fang Su Jin said. She bit her lips, knowing that she was telling half a lie to her mother. “Moreover, Teacher Jiang said, he wanted to discuss something regarding a collaboration.”

“Then, do you want me to accompany you?”

“No. Mom, I’ll be fine going there alone. Besides, Teacher Jiang will be in Capital City as well. You don’t need to worry about me.”

“Alright then.” Mother Fang nodded. “How long are you planning to stay in Capital City this time?”

Fang Su Jin counted the days that she planned to spend with Zhang Yi Hai. “Four or five days?” Other than seeing her boyfriend, she still needed to make time to meet her mentor and show him her paintings.
