Chapter 810: The illusion of a thousand years at a glance
Xu Hongdou felt puzzled, so she told the truth: "I'm here for a vacation~."

Before Xu Hongdou finished speaking, Lin Hao pulled Xu Hongdou out the door and said to Aunt Agui:
"Aunt Agui, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

Aunt Agui grabbed Xu Hongdou again and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, new here. I still have something to tell you."

Lin Hao continued to walk:
"Aunt Agui, I know what you are going to say. Don't worry, I have told Hongdou that I will not let her cause any trouble for you!"

"That's it!" He pulled Lin Hao out and said, "Hongdou, let's go!"

"Oh, Aunt Agui, I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Xu Hongdou waved to Aunt Agui, and then walked out of the windy courtyard with Lin Hao.

Aunt Agui muttered in the background: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

After leaving the windy courtyard, Xu Hongdou asked Lin Hao the reason:
"Auntie Gui is a nice person, but she has one problem. She's too talkative and gossipy. If you don't leave, she'll keep you talking for a long time!"

Xu Hongdou pursed her lips and chuckled: "Is that so? I was wondering what was going on!"

"Is Xie Xiaochun's coffee shop far from here?"

"It's not far, it's in town, but it will still take a while if you walk there. Are you in a hurry?"

"Not urgent!"

"If you're not in a hurry, let's walk slowly!" Then Lin Hao pointed at Xie Zhiyao's horse farm and said:

"Go ahead and you'll find the horse ranch. Do you want to go ride a horse there?"

Xu Hongdou looked at Lin Hao with her beautiful eyes and asked in surprise: "You can also ride a horse?"

"You're looking down on me, aren't you? Forget horses. As long as a human can ride, I can ride it!"

Xu Hongdou felt that Lin Hao was bragging, but she was still excited when she saw the horse farm in the distance.

She just looked down at her skirt, thought about it and shook her head:
"Forget it today. It's inconvenient to wear a skirt. I'll change my clothes next time!"

"That's fine!" Lin Hao nodded and rearranged:

"Go down this stream and you'll reach Erhai Lake. Then we'll go to the cafe around noon!"

"Okay! I'll follow your arrangements." Xu Hongdou agreed readily.

Then the two of them quickly walked out of Yunmiao Village and walked along the river.

After walking for more than an hour, the two finally arrived at Erhai Lake.

Seeing that Xu Hongdou was still in high spirits after walking for such a long time, he couldn't help but admire:
"I can't tell. We've been walking for over an hour, and you don't seem that tired!"

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Lin Hao and said, "Have you forgotten? I used to be the front desk manager in the hotel!"

"When I'm working, I usually stand to greet and see off people, so this distance is nothing to me!"

Lin Hao gave a thumbs up: "Great!"

Xu Hongdou opened her arms, looked at the Erhai Lake in front of her, felt the breeze brushing across her face, and a comfortable expression appeared on her face.

"The Erhai Lake in the south of the colorful clouds is indeed worthy of its reputation. Standing here and looking at it, every corner is beautiful."

"Yes, it's really beautiful. This is a sight you can't see in the city!"

Lin Hao admired the beautiful scenery, but took out his mobile phone to take pictures of Xu Hongdou.

"Does it look good?" Seeing this, Xu Hongdou deliberately struck a few poses so that Lin Hao could take pictures to his heart's content.

I took more than a dozen photos of Xu Hongdou, and each one of them made her look extraordinarily beautiful, without even having to do any photo retouching.

"So beautiful!" Xu Hongdou exclaimed as she took Lin Hao's phone and looked at the photos he had taken.
"You artists are truly extraordinary. Not only are you good at drawing, but you're also great at taking photos!"

"Send all the photos to me!" He transferred the photos on Lin Hao's phone to his own phone, and then asked curiously:
"By the way, you have been here for more than a week, right? After collecting wind for so long, have you produced any masterpieces?"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Of course, the purpose of field trips is to find inspiration. How can I miss such a beautiful scenery? I painted a picture the second day I came here!"

"Really? Let me see!" Xu Hongdou said with interest.

"It's in my room. Take a look when you go back!" Lin Hao looked at Xu Hongdou and said with a smile.

Xu Hongdou felt a little shy when Lin Hao looked at her. She stretched lazily inadvertently, showing her curvy figure in front of Lin Hao.

Lin Hao looked at this scene with admiration, and then the two of them walked along the Erhai Lake, their hands touching from time to time, and they were holding hands without knowing when.

After walking for a while, it was noon before they knew it, and they finally arrived at the coffee shop.

As soon as the two walked in, Nana, who was busy at the bar, saw them.

"Nana!" Xu Hongdou greeted.

"Hey, Lin Hao, Xu Hongdou, you're here!" Nana hurried forward and greeted them.

Lin Hao smiled and said, "We just came here to sit down. Xu Hongdou happened to be coming too, so we came together."

"Oh, is that so!" Nana stared at Lin Hao with a meaningful look, and Lin Hao blinked at her.

Nana said to Xu Hongdou, "What do you want to eat? Sister Xiaochun said that this is our first time treating us, so just order whatever you want!"

Xu Hongdou quickly refused, but under Nana's enthusiasm, she finally compromised.

"Okay then, I'll sit for a while and order later at lunch time."

"Okay, then you sit down for a while!"

Lin Hao walked into the coffee shop at this time and saw Yang Guanjun's child Guobao, and Xie Xiaochun's child Xiaohulu.

Today is the weekend and the two children are not in kindergarten. They are now lying on the table doing their homework.

Even kindergartens in rural areas have already started assigning homework at this time.

Xu Hongdou, who was sitting at the bar and chatting with Nana, inadvertently noticed several paintings on the wall of the cafe.

It features the scenery of Erhai Lake, white horses galloping on a horse farm, green mountains and clear waters, as well as several portraits of people.

Xu Hongdou took a closer look and immediately asked Lin Hao in surprise: "Did you draw all these?"

"Yes!" Lin Hao took a fancy to these paintings and said with a smile: "In fact, most of them are drafts, but Boss Xie thought they were good, so he framed them and hung them here as decorations."

"Just sit at the bar and I'll draw a sketch for you!" Lin Hao said suddenly with an idea.

"Okay!" Xu Hongdou immediately became interested after hearing this. She knew Lin Hao's painting skills.

Then Xu Hongdou sat back at the bar, while Lin Hao found a well-lit spot in the cafe. He took out his sketchbook and paintbrush, and looking at Xu Hongdou sitting at the bar and Nana who was busy, he picked up his pen and started working.

Xu Hongdou sat at the bar, admiring Lin Hao's paintings and chatting with Nana.

There were not many customers in the coffee shop at this time. After finishing her busy work, Nana was relatively free, so she chatted with Xu Hongdou about the places in Lin Hao's paintings.

"Nana, is my coffee ready?" At this time, Hu Youyu walked into the cafe with his guitar on his back.

When he saw Xu Hongdou alone at the bar, his eyes lit up and he smiled happily:
"Hey, isn't this Hongdou? You are wearing something really beautiful today. Are you here to play in the town as well?" As the front desk manager of the hotel, Xu Hongdou saw through Hu Youyu's thoughts at a glance, so she gestured to Lin Hao who was painting and said:
"Yes, I came here with Lin Hao!"

When Hu Youyu saw Lin Hao was there, he remembered the unclear relationship between Lin Hao and Xu Hongdou, and his heart sank immediately.

Hu Youyu looked disappointed, but soon smiled again, and then shamelessly asked Xu Hongdou to add WeChat.

Hu Youyu was about to leave disappointed, but when he saw Lin Hao drawing in the coffee shop, he went up to take a look.

"Great painter, what new work are you creating?" Hu Youyu looked at the drawing paper carefully and exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh my god, that's Nana and Hongdou."

Hearing Hu Youyu's scream, Xu Hongdou and Nana also came over and wanted to see how Lin Hao's painting was.

In fact, Lin Hao had just finished drawing the outline at this time, but the character's characteristics were already there, and coupled with Lin Hao's painting skills, it looked vivid and lifelike, which made it look very similar, and there was a feeling that it was painted very well.

Seeing the two people coming over, Lin Hao put the unfinished sketch on the table.

"It's not finished yet!" Lin Hao said lightly.

The picture Xu Hongdou and Nana saw on the paper was exactly the picture of the two of them with the bar as the background.

Although it is not yet completed, one can still see that the composition is vivid and the characters are distinct.

Xu Hongdou has seen the paintings painted by Lin Hao, and also treasured the paintings that Lin Hao gave to her and Chen Nanxing.

But it was the first time for Hu Youyu and Nana to see Lin Hao painting in person.

Nana couldn't help but be surprised and said, "I thought you only painted oil paintings, but I didn't expect you could draw sketches so well. I thought sketches must be gray, but I didn't expect them to be so vivid!"

"And it was finished so quickly and so well, it's amazing!"

Hu Youyu also praised: "Painter Lin is worthy of his reputation, he is indeed very good, your painting level is not far from my attainments in music."

Nana said angrily, "Teacher Hu, stop flattering yourself."

Then he pointed at the painting on the wall and said, "Lin Hao is just drawing a rough draft. He is a hundred times better than you. How dare you compare yourself to me?"

Xu Hongdou ignored the chatter of others and sat next to Lin Hao admiringly:

"Lin Hao, your painting is so good!"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Not bad. If you like it, how about I draw a picture for you?"

Nana immediately replied: "That's great, no one has ever drawn a picture for me before!"

Hu Youyu licked his face and said, "Lin Hao, please draw a picture for me too. I can be a model too. Just draw me singing passionately."

"Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

Seeing Little Gourd and Guo Bao over there, Lin Hao called out, "Little Gourd, Guo Bao, come here!"

Little Gourd and Guobao didn't have time to do their homework and ran over happily.

"Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin, do you want to ask us something?" Little Gourd asked in a crisp voice.

Xiao Hulu is Xie Xiaochun's daughter. Although she is small, she is very smart. As a single mother, Xie Xiaochun is too busy to take care of her, so she leaves her in the coffee shop.

Guobao is the son of Yang Guanjun, the owner of the barbecue stall.

Lin Hao said with a smile: "I will draw a picture for each of you, do you want it?"

Guo Bao looked up and asked curiously: "Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin, are you a painting teacher?"

Lin Hao smiled and touched his bowl-cut braid: "Almost. Come, sit here and let Uncle Lin draw a beautiful picture for you, okay?"

"Okay, okay!"

Xiaohulu and Guobao were both very interested. They nodded repeatedly to show their agreement, then sat down opposite Lin Hao, their little faces tense and motionless.

Seeing their cute appearance, Lin Hao immediately laughed and comforted them with two words:

"Don't be so nervous, relax a little, just treat it like normal time!" After saying that, he started writing.

Near noon, Xie Zhiyao came to the coffee shop and happened to see Lin Hao helping Xiao Hulu draw a portrait. He was also very curious.

Looking at the two lifelike children on the drawing paper, Xie Zhiyao exclaimed:

"Tsk tsk, it has to be you. You can draw it so well with just a few strokes!"

Then he had an idea and smiled and asked tentatively: "Lin Hao, when can you draw a picture for me alone?"

"Sure, but my fees are very expensive!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

“How expensive can it be?” Xie Zhiyao thought that he was quite wealthy, otherwise he would not have thought of developing Yunmiao Village, so he didn’t care much about how expensive Lin Hao said.

Xu Hongdou heard the disdain in Xie Zhiyao's words, raised her head and frowned at Xie Zhiyao, and couldn't help but defend Lin Hao:
"None of his paintings is expensive. The highest price for a painting is just over three million. It has been sold twice now, and the price has increased by millions each time!"

Xie Zhiyao was stunned when he heard this. He was not attracted by Xu Hongdou's words that a painting cost more than three million yuan, but he was fascinated by Xu Hongdou's beauty and temperament!
Just when Xu Hongdou looked up at Xie Zhiyao, he instantly felt that he was in love. He fell in love at first sight, for the rest of his life, at first sight, love for a lifetime!

But he found that Xu Hongdou was sitting next to Lin Hao, and their words and actions were extremely intimate, and it was obvious that the two were in a relationship.

I suddenly felt as if struck by lightning. The fire of love that had just been born in my heart was instantly extinguished like a torrential rain, and I felt completely hopeless.

Fortunately, Xie Zhiyao was still clear-headed and rational, and he recovered quickly.

He suppressed the urge in his heart, knowing that if he rashly approached and chatted with him, he would probably be beaten to death by Lin Hao.

So he smiled apologetically and said, "I see, it seems that I am ignorant!"

Then he said to Xu Hongdou in a friendly manner: "You should be the tenant of Room 6 in Fengyuan!"

"Hello, I'm Xie Zhiyao!"

Xu Hongdou glanced at Lin Hao who was painting seriously, and then said calmly: "Hello, Xu Hongdou!"

After saying that, Xu Hongdou no longer paid attention to Xie Zhiyao, but concentrated on watching Lin Hao paint.

Soon, Lin Hao handed the two finished portraits to Xiaohulu and Guobao respectively. The two children held the paintings in their hands excitedly.

"Thank you Uncle Lin!"

"Thank you Uncle Lin!"

"You're welcome. Go and have fun!" Lin Hao said to the two children with a smile.

Xu Hongdou looked at Lin Hao with great joy and said with a smile:
“Although this isn’t the first time I’ve seen you paint, I still find it amazing!”

Hearing this, Lin Hao smiled and said jokingly:

"Tell me, is there a possibility that the reason you think she is stunning is actually because beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?"
