So, when he chanced upon a boy dropping from the sky and landing on the tree to pick fruits, his soft demeanor made a shy girl initiate a conversation. Hong Luoyu, bored out of his mind, responded offhandedly.
"You should come down, it's very dangerous up there," she said.
"Dangerous my ass," he replied.
The boy stuffed the fruits into his mouth.
This was their first encounter. Only later did he learn that the girl was born with disabilities, unable to walk. Hence, her parents built this courtyard for her so she could recuperate in peace.
Hong Luoyu thought this girl was too pitiable.
Wasn't she too pitiable?
Having grown up without seeing much of the world, he sometimes thought of the pitiable girl during his idle wanderings in Jianghu and while mingling arms with heroines from various martial arts sects. On an impulse, he decided to paint some sceneries from the outside world for her.
When he first visited, it seemed that the girl had just prepared some tea and snacks.
