The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

The story of this painting ended. When the characters disappeared, Shi Yao was the only one left in Bai Yan's eyes, and his face was one of world-weariness. Although one of his eyes was covered with a white cloth, it could not hide the sand in his eyes.

Afterwards, Mu Hanxing continued to spend some time in Shi Yao's body.

That was the time I spent alone with Bai Yan.

She watched him paint in the villa in the mansion, from the early spring in the capital to the snowy winter. Every painting made her marvel as if she had seen this prosperous and beautiful capital with her own eyes.

That day, a winter plum bud was about to bloom on his drawing paper, just like a graceful girl in the snow, just beginning to grow into an adult.

When she saw it, she liked it and asked, "This is a really good painting, can you give it to me?"

Bai Yan paused and looked back at her in panic: "Okay, if you like it, just take it. I can give you all my box of paintings."

"Thank you." Shi Yao smiled, like a spring breeze, "This is your first time in Beijing, right? How can you paint the four seasons of Beijing so exquisitely just by imagination?"

Bai Yan held up the paintbrush, thought for a while, and answered seriously: "Painting is about the heart and the feelings, not the eyes."

Shi Yao was stunned for a moment, then she gave him a gentle but firm smile.

That smile was like the first snow melting and new trees sprouting. It was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.

Then he heard Shi Yao say to him: "I am not very talented and well-educated. I don't have the painting skills that you have, and I only have a limited understanding of appreciating paintings... But I know that you must be someone who loves the beautiful mountains and rivers of my Tong country."

Bai Yan's eyes were stunned. When he was about to forget the original intention of picking up the pen, he heard Shi Yao say this to him, which seemed to awaken his dormant memory.

Yes... He was born with a love for painting, but he didn't know what to paint. He had skills but no emotions, so how could he have feelings? Without expressing his emotions in his paintings, all his works could only be considered mediocre.

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss... I traveled all the way from the small town to the capital. The journey was difficult and dangerous. I was on the verge of life and death several times, and passed through the gates of hell again and again... I almost forgot that I loved this place, the capital, and I wanted to paint the magnificent mountains and rivers of Tong Kingdom into scrolls, preserve them forever, let the world appreciate them, let future generations admire them, and let many foreign countries envy me." Bai Yan said sincerely.

Shi Yao looked at his serious eyes when he spoke, and couldn't help but lower her head and smile.

Although he has a scar on his eye, it does not affect the beauty of his eyes.

Mu Hanxing's heart was slightly moved for a moment, and she suddenly realized that Shi Yao had already fallen in love with Bai Yan at this time...

The scene before her disappeared, and she entered the next painting again.

The next painting was a scene of all the candidates going to take the exam together, but the painting exam was different from others. They were taken to another room by the examiner and were asked to improvise a painting based on the theme given by the examiner.

The day before the exam, Shi Yao was still a little selfish after all her struggles. She tried to get her father to reserve a position as an imperial painter for Bai Yan in the court. This was unfair to everyone, but she had already fallen in love with him, so how could she bear to see the person she loved return home in disgrace?

Besides... she knew that most of the successful candidates in the court did so by bribing officials through various means. As a weak woman, she could not change the political situation in the court. She might as well rely on her father's status and learn from them to send the people they admired into the court in the same way.

Although Minister Shi was rarely in the mansion, he knew his daughter's thoughts very well. Didn't he know that Shi Yao had fallen in love with an ugly and poor painter?

She has no looks and no family background, so he would never agree to this marriage no matter what.

But on the surface, his father would not bluntly reject his daughter, but just put on the official language: "How dare you! Your father and I can't say a few words in the court, and even if we can, how can we be partial and corrupt! You are too outrageous! If it is found out, it will be a serious crime! You are sending your father and even our family to a dead end!"

Shi Yao didn't believe it at all, and said forcefully: "Dad! Don't think I don't know, you have done this kind of thing before. There are so many idiots in the court who are just eating and waiting to die. Isn't it all because of your greed and bribery!"

"You! How dare you!" Minister Shi was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.

"No matter what, I will make sure that Mr. Bai becomes the imperial painter!" She became stubborn.

"Oh, he wants to pass the imperial examination? The court has a clear rule that anyone with an unrefined appearance cannot serve as an official, not to mention that he has a disfigured face!"

Shi Yao was stunned for a moment. Indeed, she also knew about this matter, how could she forget it for a moment...

This was really confusing. She had consulted many doctors about Mr. Bai's scar, but the wound was too big and they were unable to heal it...

During the first exam, Bai Yan blindfolded one eye and went to the examination room. The examiner took one look at him, held back his smile, knowing that this kid had no hope, but still let him in to take the exam.

As a result, as everyone expected, Bai Yan's scroll was thrown into the fire by the examiner without being opened.

A fire burned out.

Burn away his ignorant thoughts.

In fact, Bai Yan had secretly seen all of this and tried every possible means to uncover it.

He looked at the fire, his eyes cold and dark.

……

While waiting for the list, Shi Yao suffered a lot.

She thought of other ways to bypass her father and let her father's subordinates do the work.

She stuffed all her gold, silver and jewelry into their pockets and asked them to think of a solution. The group of subordinates turned pale and trembled with fear. They clasped their fists and bowed their heads: "Miss, you must not do this! This is a serious crime! The exam is approaching and the departments are supervising us very strictly. If we are caught, not only us, but also Mr. Bai may not be able to take the exam in this life!"

She was stunned, felt desperate, and was depressed all day long.

Shi Yao's thoughts were seen through by Bai Yan, who stared at her twelve hours a day. Every time she looked into his eyes, she was worried. Bai Yan knew very well that she did not dislike him, but was afraid that this scar would become a ravine that blocked his road to success.

When the results were announced, some people were excited and some were sad.

Some people were so happy that they went crazy, and some fainted on the spot.

In this scene, everyone gathered together, with different expressions and behaviors, it looked quite dramatic.

Bai Yan knew clearly that the examiners had burned his paintings, but he still chose to go to the list to take a look to deceive himself. He looked left and right, up and down.

Ah...No...

As expected... I have no future... If I could pass high school, maybe I could marry Yaoer... But now... my face... my face!!!

Mu Hanxing suddenly heard Bai Yan shouting angrily in his heart.

She was really shocked.
