"As long as you're fine," Yuan Zhong nodded lightly, then turned his gaze to Su Qian. "Su Qian, stop looking at the painting and take your brother home."
"Ah? Oh." Su Qian answered absentmindedly, her gaze unmoving, saying half-heartedly, "Brother, it's nothing, it's just one painting. Let's stop looking and go home."
