BLUE raised her right brow when she saw that the man who had mistaken her table as a trashcan started to draw. Blue was slightly amazed because he drew directly with a pen. He didn't even went through a rough sketch. He proceeded to draw the clean line art directly and what makes Blue raise her brow is because he doesn't make any mistakes. Quite skillful, huh?
"It looks like an anime character." Blue spoke to the man in Chinese.
"En. It's in manhwa style." Blue's eyes narrowed when the man spoke. The only Chinese word he spoke was 'En.' He spoke the rest in English.
"Fei hua! You can speak in English, meaning you can also understand English, right? Why didn't you tell me? I'm not confident with my Chinese accent because i don't use it often. Tian na!"
(A/N: Fei hua= nonsense, Tian na= Goodness gracious)
"You didn't ask..." The man responded and continued to draw.
"So, you're Chinese but you're bilingual?"
"No, I'm half Korean and I can speak 5 languages. English, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, and French."
Blue's eyes widened but she remembered that she can speak in four languages. English, Mandarin, Japanese, and French.
"I don't want to flatter you but your accent is really good. My accent can't be compared to yours though I lived here in Sanya for five years."
"You're exaggerating."
"Hmp. Wait, you mentioned that the style you used for redrawing my sketches is manhwa style. Are you a manhwa artist?"
"No." Blue snorted when the man answered.
"Aiyo, what a waste. You would earn well if you're a manhwa artist."
"Some talents need to be hidden to preserve its true value."
"Hao la, hao la. Right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Blossom Qin."
(A/N: hao la= ok, that's enough)
"I'm Light Lim. Uhm, your name... it's too girly." Light spoke without glancing at Blue.
"Your name... it's too bright!"
"..."
Blue just continued to watch him draw when she received no response. Blue's eyes widened when she saw that the clean line art of the five drawings are all done. It just needs to be colored.
"You don't have colored pencils?" Light asked Blue.
"I have colored pencils but I only brought 12 colors with me because I don't really use it. I'm just using watercolor."
"Give it to me." Light said and Blue scanned through her things. She immediately brought the colored pencils to Light when she found it.
Blue's forehead furrowed when Light started to color the drawings with watercolor. Then what is the colored pencils for?
Blue's question was answered when Light started to use the colored pencils. Ah, he's using it to enhance the colors.
When he finished coloring the first drawing, Blue's amazement was visible in her eyes. The drawing looks like it was digitally painted. She underestimated the shameless man. From now on, she will secretly look up on him.
When Light was still busy coloring, Blue fished out her phone from her pocket and clicked the baby chick icon. The Hello app opened.
She then started to type a message to send to her friends.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: Da jia hao! I just met a jerk here in Sanya :)))
Pepper Mint: A guy?
Sorrow Blossom Qin: Good job, Little Pepper Princess~ Right, what do you want me to bring you home?
Pepper Mint: A boyfriend. I recently started to learn how to speak in Chinese. It's find if you're going to bring me home a boyfriend from there.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: Little Pepper Princess, don't rush, ah~ You can only have a boyfriend when I'm already married.
Pepper Mint: Okay, I'm now convinced that I'll never have a boyfriend.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: ...
Alena Cervantes: What about the jerk guy?
Sorrow Blossom Qin: He's in front of me :)
Alena Cervantes: Where are you? At the police station?
Pepper Mint: Eh, I'm sure that she's in her hotel room with him.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: ...
Alena Cervantes: Blue-blue, what Little Pepper Princess said was correct?
Sorrow Blossom Qin: En.
Alena Cervantes: Blue-blue, it doesn't mean that when we're urging each other to have a boyfriend, one can randomly hook up with just someone.
Pepper Mint: Blue-blue has her own mind...
Alena Cervantes: What if something bad happens to Blossom? If she suddenly gets pregnant?
Sorrow Blossom Qin: ...
Pepper Mint: Right... Ah, Alena, you're making me scared... Ahhhh, Blue-jie jie is not responding to our messages.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: You called me elder sister, hahaha 😂
Alena Cervantes: Blossom, we're talking seriously here. Tell me exactly what you're doing with the jerk inside your hotel room.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: Don't think too much Alena-jie jie 👉😬👈 He 'accidentally' spilled his drink over my sketches so I pulled him towards my hotel room and made him redraw all the sketches he ruined 😂
Alena Cervantes: Good. You did the right thing. We'll stop bugging you now.
Pepper Mint: Eh, you're playing with us 😡 Remember to buy translated Chinese novels in there. Bring it to me when you go home.
Sorrow Blossom Qin: Ok Pepper-mei mei 👌
Blue sent the message and raised her head, only to find out that Light was staring at her.
"Are you done badmouthing me in you and your friends' group chat?" Light asked.
"Who said I was badmouthing you? I only told them the truth, like how you had mistaken the table as a trashcan and how your drink spilled over my sketches."
"Hao la, hao la. You win."
"Of course, I'll never accept defeat. Dui, you still haven't apologized to me!"
(A/N: Dui= right)
"I'm sorry." Blue blinked twice when Light simply apologized to her.
"Oh wow! You're not an a**hole!"
"Eh?"
"You said sorry. You're not like any other guy whose pride is taller than the tallest mountain in the world."
"Not all guys are like that..."
"Okay, okay. Just continue coloring. I won't bother you anymore." Blue said and Light simply nodded in response.
Light was very serious throughout the coloring process of the drawings. When he finished, he stretched his arms and faced Blue who was almost dozing off.
"Blossom?" He called and Blue suddenly opened her eyes. Blue smiled shyly at him.
"Hehe, sorry. I haven't slept since last night."
"I'm done here. I'm leaving. You go and sleep. Again, I'm sorry."
"Eh, it's fine, it's fine." Blue stood up and stared at Light's works. "Tai shen qi le! Thank you very much! It's so beautiful."
(A/N: Tai shen qi le= Amazing)
"No need to thank me. What happened was my fault. This is simply a compensation." Light stood up and he was about to leave Blue's hotel room when Blue held his left wrist to stop him.
"Take a seat first. I'm giving you something." Blue pointed out to the couch in the hotel room's living room area. Light just did what Blue told him to do and patiently waited for Blue.
Blue came out from the bedroom, carrying a bunch of chips and cookies in her arms. Blue walked towards Light's direction and handed him the foods. Light didn't even have time to refuse to accept the foods so he just embraced it in his arms. It was a lot of foods.
"That's my favorite potato chips, manufactured by Yumi, and that cookies were baked by me before I left for Sanya. Don't worry, I just baked it yesterday, it still isn't expired." Blue spoke.
"Why did you give me these if these chips were your favorite and these cookies were made by you?"
"Because you helped me a lot."
"It's because what happened was my fault..."
"Shut up. Just accept that and you're free to leave. I won't be taking that even if you return all of it to me."
"Then I won't be polite..." Light blinked. "Eh, do you want me to draw you?" Light asked because he can't be in peace when he accepts something from someone and he doesn't give back that someone a favor.
"Mm, do you know how to make a chibi version of me?"
"Yes."
"Then go. Are you going to use my art materials or you're going to paint digitally?" Blue asked but she didn't receive an answer from Light. Light simply took out his phone and stylus pen from his coat's pocket and started clicking something on his phone.
Wait... He brings his stylus pen with him everytime?
"I know what you're thinking. I'm easily bored so I always take my stylus pen with me, then I can draw something on my phone." Light explained to Blue and the latter just nodded her head.
Minutes later, Light showed his phone screen to Blue and Blue's eyes lit up. The chibi is very cute, and it really resembled her though it's just in 2D.
"Ke ai ji le! Can you send it to me?" Blue faced the silent Light. Light just nodded and then he realized that he doesn't have Blue's Hello account or even her number.
(A/N: Ke ai ji le= adorable)
Blue seemed to notice Light's problem so she spoke, "Let's add each other on Hello?"
Light nodded in response and showed his Hello account's QR code to Blue. Blue scanned the code and they are now mutuals in Hello.
Blue stared at her phone screen screen that displays Light's account. His username is Light Helios Lim. Do his parents love the sun so much?
Meanwhile, Blue's account was also displayed in Light's phone screen. Sorrow Blossom Qin, that's her username. Eh, who would name their child 'Sorrow'?
Light can't stop himself from asking Blue, "Why is your first name Sorrow Blossom?"
"Hmm, my Mom's name is Love, so she named me and my sister Sorrow and Joy, so Love's Sorrow and Love's Joy. Do you know Kreisler? Two of his pieces are Love's Sorrow and Love's Joy. My Mom though that it's quite witty. And the Blossom... My Dad is obsessed with the Cherry blossom tree so the Cherry part belonged to my sister and now I'm named Blossom. Cherry Joy is my elder sister and I'm Sorrow Blossom."
"..."
Light thought for a while and decided that he should also ask his parents why he was named Light Helios.
Light just sent the chibi picture to Blue and Blue stood up to send him out of the room. Light took all of the foods given by Blue with him.
~SHORT EXTRA~
Light Helios Lim: Mama, Papa, why was I named 'Light Helios'?
Mama Lim: Eh, hehe >_<
Papa Lim: Oh, that's a simple question, son ^_^ Well, your name is Light Helios because you were made during the day. The sun was shining brightly and the lights in our room were on.
Light Helios Lim: ...
Mama Lim: ...
