Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

129 Painting 2

The carriage soon stopped and Soujin walked outside first. He offered his hand to help Jun Hua, but the little girl slapped his hand once again, refusing this annoying general help.

Jun Hua looks around. This place is outside the capital, near Nanglong residence. The view she could see from this place cannot be described as mere beautiful. The forest that surrounded the area below this small hill, the mountain on the horizon, this place is really beautiful. But, Jun Hua eyes widened when she remembered that misty mountain and forest, if this place were to be covered in mist, shouldn\'t the view is similar?

Soujin looks at the girl. "Do you want to paint it?"

"Okay… Do you like to come here?"

"Me? Not really, I found this place by coincidence," Soujin answered. "When I was little, I often play around and sneaked out from my grandfather training. This is one of the places I used to hide."

Jun Hua nodded. Might be a coincidence, after all, there are a lot of view from top of mountains. She looks at that mountain and then to the side, where a wall is standing there.

"That was the Southeast border?" Jun Hua understands. She did see the similar view, coming from another angle. That border was the place she first saw the beautiful view and she never forgets it.

"You\'re right. I thought girls don\'t have any sense of direction?"

"…"

Jun Hua doesn\'t know what kind of girl did he compare her with, but she knows that she doesn\'t want to talk with him again or she will surely get angry. Taking the canvas and brush, Jun Hua started to paint on top of that hill.

Soujin stared by the side. He looks at the visage of this little girl. She is so small, yet so serious like she has so many things to think. He looks at the canvas where the forest and mountain soon come into view. It seems he likes the painting from this girl very much. It looks really alive and not merely a painting.

Jun Hua finished after some time. She stared at Soujin. "Happy with what you see?"

"The painting is beautiful," Soujin answered. "Let me take you to meet with your brother\'s friends. You can stay behind me and wear this."

He put a hat with a veil around it making it impossible to see who the one is inside. Jun Hua knows that there is indeed such a veil, but does it necessary for her to wear one? Does the usual one that covered her face is enough?

"Your attractive body might invite numerous troubles ahead. I don\'t want to get mixed up in it."

Although that is what Soujin said, doesn\'t his face is even more deadly? Jun Hua glared at him behind the veil, but she still followed him to walk on the street. Soujin is famous which makes people recognize him right away, but they are wondering, who is the girl beside him? Jun Hua ignored them as she walks to Restaurant Han Yan.

When she looks at that name, it seems this is the only place where this man goes. She had never seen him eat in other restaurant other than this one. Soujin led her inside and walk straight to the usual place.

Yan and Ming Hui are there, drinking some wine. They turned when Soujin come inside.

"Oh, Soujin you\'ve come…" Yan cannot continue his sentence because he noticed a lady behind Soujin. He cannot see her face from the veil, but from her movement and all, he knows that it is a girl, and probably, a pretty one at that.

Soujin nodded. "This is Jun Hua, don\'t try to touch her."

"Wha… what are you thinking to bring her here?" Yan yelled. He had finally arrived back in the capital, but his friend is doing something incomprehensible and weird.

"I have just taken her around," Soujin said leisurely.

This time, even Ming Hui dropped his glass. He looks towards Soujin."Have you fallen for this little girl? Didn\'t your age difference is…"

He stopped because Soujin had glared back at him. Ming Hui shrugged and sipped his wine back. His eyes are still looking at Soujin, what does this man thinking in taking that girl to join their group? Doesn\'t she the most useless girl in the capital?

Yan coughed a few times. "You\'re really something Soujin."

"She\'s a war strategist."

Jun Hua eyes almost popped out from his declaration. That was a secret, idiot! What are you doing proclaiming it to the two of them? She should have known that there will be something bad from this man knowing her in the battlefield. Luckily, his thought turned that way and not the right path…

Ming Hui and Yan looked at Soujin in disbelief. How can they take it that a little girl is a strategist, not to mention the person before them is really small?

"Soujin, are you drunk?" Yan asked.

Soujin rolled his eyes. "I\'m different compared to you. I don\'t drink that often."

Ming Hui shifted his gaze towards the sitting Jun Hua. "Are you really a strategist? You don\'t look like one."

Jun Hua wants to say no very badly. It was enough that Jun Min is involved with them, but with her as an addition, they would surely see her more often. That was something she wished to avoid the most.

Soujin nodded his head. He took out a map, which is something he had somehow taken from her tent before. Jun Hua wants to kick this man so badly. How dare he stole something from before her eyes and she didn\'t even realize it…

"This is her drawing. I took it when we were at the war before."

"She participates?" Ming Hui scanned the map. Even if he\'s not really proficient with strategy, he knows that the way Jun Hua writes are all decent. "She\'s really good."

"She stays on her brother tent."

"…"

Can you not blurt out my secret as you wish?
