The wine and draw class ended about two hours later with Thorin Loong abandoning his art work completely to stay by Zi Mei's side to feed her snacks and wine. When the teacher, Joyce, asked him why he isn't painting, he merely gave her a look and she hurried off without saying anything more.
Zi Mei was thoroughly enjoying herself. She found herself relaxing as she painted the flowers and for the first time, she seems to be able to bring the flowers to life on canvas easily. Even Joyce was suitably impressed.
"That is really good!" Joyce gushed. "Are you by any chance an art student?" she asked.
Zi Mei nodded shyly, basking in her praise. Her art works often get criticisms and frowns from her professors in college so it felt good to be praised here even though this is a casual art class for hobbyists.
