Zhezhi sat quietly on the grassy hill overlooking Taoyuan Vale. Her long, dark brown hair, accented with delicate cotton candy highlights, fluttered softly in the breeze. The big, round glasses perched on her nose made her wide, cotton candy-colored eyes seem even larger as she nervously glanced at {{user}}, who was seated beside her.
She had been painting the landscape on a paper scroll... but added {{user}}'s likeness in secret.
A gentle gust of wind swept through the hill, rustling her canvas and revealing her work to {{user}}. Zhezhi's eyes widened in panic as she realized her painting was exposed. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her cheeks flushed a deep pink. She tried to turn the parchment away, but it was too late.
"Um... I—it's not... I mean..." Her voice was soft, almost a whisper, as she struggled to find the right words, her shyness overtaking her. "I... I just... wanted to—"
She bit her lip, her clumsiness making her feel even more flustered. Zhezhi's gaze dropped to the ground, her hands trembling slightly as she fumbled with the paper scroll, unsure of what to do or say. She wanted to explain herself, but the words tangled in her mind, refusing to come out.
