The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 279: Painting Wife (14)

At first he found a group of people to gather around and watch, starting with those little beggars who just wanted a little money.

Then he changed into a plain white outfit, tied his hair with a jade crown, and covered his eyes with a white cloth. With this attire, he looked otherworldly, and people who had seen him before would not have dared to guess that he was the impoverished "Bai Yan."

He spent some money to get those little beggars to shout in the crowd: "He is the new Bai Huaxian who came to the capital!"

"Yes, I have seen him. It seems that he has had eye problems since he was a child, so he can only rely on his feelings to paint. Now his painting skills have been perfected!"

"It's amazing, there are people in this world who can paint with their eyes blindfolded!"

"As expected of Bai Huaxian!"

This group of little beggars shouted loudly and acted realistically, which indeed brought him a good effect. After hearing what he said, many people came over curiously to watch him painting with his eyes blindfolded on his desk.

The result was just as the little beggars said, his paintings were lifelike and vivid on the paper.

"It's amazing..."

"Is there really someone in this world who can paint with his eyes blindfolded?"

Seeing that there were more people, Bai Yan hurriedly said, "Dear fellow villagers, I live in a thatched hut and paint for you every day. Landscapes and personal portraits are fine. The first few winners don't have to pay. Just take it as a good omen. I wish my Tong country prosperity and wealth!"

"Good! Well said!"

"You are Bai Huaxian, that's great! Our Tong country has a painting fairy!"

Because the little beggars created momentum every day, and because he himself could paint with his eyes blindfolded and had extraordinary skills, his name "Bai Huaxian" became famous almost overnight and spread throughout the capital.

He was so happy that he lost himself in the moment and decided to keep his eyes blindfolded for the rest of his life. While hiding his scars, he was also enjoying the identity of "Bai Huaxian".

At least with this identity, I can be closer to Shi Yao.

……

Not long after, Shi Yao heard about the emergence of a painting fairy in the capital. Since she was a person who loved talent, she excitedly followed her two good sisters to the street to watch the painting fairy paint on the spot.

But when she saw Bai Yan with his eyes blindfolded, she was stunned for a moment.

I haven't seen him for many days. Why does he seem like a different person... outstanding temperament, calm, gentle and free and easy... is this still him?

Mu Hanxing was in her body and knew her emotions and feelings too well.

Memories came back.

After Bai Yan left the house, the entire Shi family and Xu Heng's family put pressure on her again and again, forcing her to get married.

Shi Yao was waiting at home. She had been waiting for Bai Yan to come back home one day and meet her again to talk things out. Is there really no possibility for the two of them?

Once she is clear about everything and her wish is fulfilled, she will listen to her family and marry into the Xu family.

But Bai Yan never showed up, and she became disheartened and agreed to her family's request to get married.

Born in such a family, she had no right to choose her marriage, but this incident made her understand it thoroughly and feel it personally.

But why, at this moment, fate made her and Bai Yan meet again.

The little sister noticed something was going on and whispered, "Yaoyao, you can't be so confused. The marriage has been decided, and it's not easy to offend the Xu family... For such a person... it's really not worth it. You can't just ignore everything. You have the entire Shi family behind you!"

She knows this better than anyone else.

So, he just glanced at Bai Yan, who seemed to be reborn, from a distance and left silently.

But who could have thought that after Xu Heng used all sorts of means to arrange the marriage with the Shi family, he would send people to follow Shi Yao all day long.

It's not like he hasn't heard the rumors. The servants in the Shi mansion were not careful with their mouths and had already let the secret of Bai Yan slip. It seemed from their words that Shi Yao... also had some feelings for that stinky painter, so he sent people to follow her all day long. It didn't make sense that he would let his wife cheat on him when they were about to get married. If he made it known to the whole city, wouldn't that be a joke!

After Shi Yao left the "scroll", Mu Hanxing was able to control her consciousness. She ran around and finally found Xu Heng, who was drinking tea and watching in the elegant pavilion of a teahouse not far away.

When she saw Xu Heng for the first time, she was so scared that her scalp went numb!

She clearly saw that Xu Heng's face was the same face she saw before entering the painting, Bai Yan's face!

Although Bai Yan was blindfolded when he walked out of the lobby, it was clearly him judging by his outline and nose and lips!

Did they...swap faces?!

A terrible thought arose in her mind.

She had read countless melodramatic novels and seen countless heroines and supporting actresses with changed faces, but she had never seen a hero or a supporting actor with changed faces!

What exactly is going on? ? ?

Before she had time to think about it, the next painting came.

At this time, she had already put on her red wedding dress and was ready to get married.

This painting is exactly the one about the Minister's daughter getting married.

Shi Yao had a blank expression on her face and was heartbroken. She let the maidservant around her busy herself, changing all kinds of rouge, powder, gold and silver hairpins. She had no interest in any of this. She silently raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. At this moment, she just wanted to... escape.

Once the thought of escaping marriage arises, it is completely uncontrollable.

That night, she secretly asked her closest maid to put a love potion in the guests' food. Then, before the bridal chamber, she changed into light clothes, carried a bag, and with the help of a group of loyal servants, she successfully climbed out of the backyard and escaped.

She only brought a few sets of clothes for changing and the only important thing, which was a wolf-hair brush. This was a treasure that she bought at a high price. She had kept it in her room for a long time and had not dared to give it away. Girls are always shy, but when she wanted to give it away, the recipient was gone.

She set out with her wolf-hair brush as if she was flying away with her yearning for freedom and true love.

At night, she ran to the street and a man suddenly appeared in front of her. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she was about to fall to the ground.

Someone gently lifted her waist up. When she saw who it was, she was stunned.

It was Bai Yan who came blindfolded. He half held her in his arms, looking cold and unattainable. Perhaps his temperament had changed a long time ago because of his change in identity.

"Bai Yan..." Shi Yao called out his name immediately.

Bai Yan was slightly stunned. He opened his lips and wanted to greet her with concern, but time was running out, so he only asked her coldly: "Are you going to run away from marriage?"

Shi Yao's eyes were determined: "You know everything, right? That's why you didn't come to me, right? No matter what you think, I must escape the marriage today."

She broke free from him and was about to leave. Her intuition had always been sharp, and she always felt that there seemed to be something different when she saw him again today.

He seemed to have changed. She actually... didn't like "Bai Huaxian". She only liked the taciturn Bai Yan who painted with all his heart.
