The people from the Old Chiang Family arrived much later than she had anticipated.
She had already drawn a picture of the profusion of mountain flowers at the foot of Bai Gu Mountain, yet it remained eerily quiet outside.
As she grew increasingly impatient, she wondered if she should simply go and paint the mural at the school instead.
Now hearing Ho Laidi's banging on the door and her loud voice, Chiang Xiao actually felt a sense of "I've finally waited for you, I'm glad I didn't give up."
She amused herself and couldn't help but laugh.
She slowly packed away her painting, letting Ho Laidi knock for a while longer before she took a basin filled with water, and then cleaned her paint palette and brushes in the basin.
Immediately, the clear water in the basin turned into a murky mess of colors.
Chiang Xiao carried the basin of water for cleaning her brushes out of the yard.
