The person, the one he always had to rely on an incomplete painting to imagine his appearance, had finally appeared. He was warm and alive; within his reach. To Xie Lan, this tremendously long period of wait not only made his heart thump uncontrollably, it also carried a sense of surrealism.

He was extremely cautious with those paintings themselves, so there wasn't any need to mention his attitude towards the actual person. Apart from his loss of control in the beginning, the Ghost King was so incredibly restrained in front of the dark-haired youth that Gu Yan didn't feel the least bit of discomfort. However, Xie Lan's attitude was such that Gu Yan wouldn't be able to escape from his side.

Although the faces on those paintings were left unpainted, Gu Yan could easily recognise himself through the pair of eyebrows and the clothes he wore. What was more surprising was the fact that in those paintings, there were some which detailed the different worlds he'd been through before.

That is to say, the Qiuqiu of this world not only retained his innate instincts, but from what Gu Yan could tell, he also held some fragmented memories leftover from their other worlds.

...His heart was getting softer, what should he do?

"Should we put all these paintings away?" It was strange to see an entire room filled with portraits of himself. The soft-hearted Gu Yan raised an arm to pet his lover's head which was resting against his neck, "I'll definitely stay where you'll be able to see me."

He no longer needed to face these paintings which could never respond to him. Now that he was here, his lover could look at him as much as he liked, for as long as he wanted.

"I'll keep them after I complete painting them." The latter half of the youth's words were extremely alluring. Although the change in his expression was barely detectable, the Ghost King's cold and beautiful face had relaxed. Thinking for barely a second, he thus replied.

He would store every one of the paintings once he completed them. Although there were too many, Xie Lan simply didn't wish to see the empty face of the person in his paintings.

The study room was very spacious, with a folding screen which divided the room into two halves. This room was known to its citizens as the most sacred area in the entire Ghost City. But now, there was a living human standing inside and furthermore, this person was personally brought inside by the master of this study.

After promising, Gu Yan was released and turned his interest towards the other side of the room behind the folding screen. Having obtained the permission of the study room's master with just a gaze, he took a few steps forward.

He didn't know what his family's Qiuqiu had painted, but through the gaps of the folding screen, Gu Yan could make out a wall covered in paintings.

"Cough!" Walking over and taking a clear look, Gu Yan immediately retracted his gaze and coughed.

Compared to the relatively normal portraits he had seen on the other side, the paintings behind the folding screen all depicted the various positions they had engaged in till date. Moreover, due to his superb memory retaining ability, Gu Yan was clearly able to distinguish and correspond every single image with the ones in his memories.

He was completely unaware that he had revealed such an expression and his eyes had reddened at that point of time. Also, the tears that had fallen from the corners of his eyes were simply too...

"Beautiful." Observing the youth's changing expression, Xie Lan squinted and spoke this word softly.

His robe's dark colour contrasted greatly against his pale white skin, giving an illusion of surreal beauty. The Ghost King looked extremely cold and detached. However, when he looked into the dark-haired youth's black irises, it was as if a certain deep desire was lying dormant within. Like a flame continuously being suppressed, the slightest opening would cause it to ignite and burn everything to ashes.
