Li Xianyun's cheeks were reddened from the cold, her long eyelashes fluttering, breathing out warm air as her pleasant voice came through now and then.
"Husband, look, does this little rabbit I stepped on look like one?"
"Like."
He added, "Very much so."
Yelu Yan never skimped on praises for his own woman.
He didn't say these words just to please Li Xianyun; the paintings she created with her steps really resembled their subjects, with just a few strokes capturing the animals' likenesses and spirits incredibly vividly.
"Then I'll step on a little cat now."
To avoid ruining the integrity of the painting, Li Xianyun needed to jump to the position of the eyes after stepping out the outline and then, after finishing, jump to the position of the mouth.
Her tiny, delicate steps were unbearably cute.
Because stepping on another small animal required a gap in between, Li Xianyun squatted and hopped towards a spot not far off, but her feet started to slide.
