He is Lovestruck in the Revenge

The Xie Family all studied law, possessing the fine qualities expected of a scholarly family. Xie Shang too had them: elegance, deep learning, a Fragrance Connoisseur versed in classics, also skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. But he was mad, capable of reciting the scriptures while holding a Buddha statue, as well as breaking people's hand and foot bones, very gentle, yet very cruel. Xie Shang didn't become a lawyer but opened a pawnshop instead, where you could pawn anything as long as the story was compelling. One day, someone came to the pawnshop and told a story: In Fragrant City, there was a family with the surname Wen, where daughters took their mother's surname. The daughters of that family could cast spells, the kind that bewitched men, leaving their lovers either buried with them or taking vows of celibacy; in short, either dead or destined for a lonely life. Xie Shang's uncle had died in Fragrant City, which is why he accepted this particular pawning business. Bewitched, confused, thrilled, deeply in love, but love unattained, and a pain so intense it made life unbearable. — This was the script Xie Shang had prepared for the deaf boy Wen Changling. In the end, it was Xie Shang who ended up with this romance-addled script. Wen Changling: Are you surprised, Mr. Xie Shang? (This isn't a book transmigration story, it's a contemporary sweet romance. The 'script' in the book title implies deliberate plotting.)

097: Nighttime pillow talk, Changling's bad girl disguise (First update)

The painting was ultimately left unfinished.

When calm returned,

Xie Shang opened his eyes, gazing towards the slightly ajar window outside, his body still not fully recovered, his back drenched with sweat, his brain still lacking oxygen; he emptied himself.

Xie Shang, oh Xie Shang, you're truly despicable.

Before Wen Changling, he had never loved someone like this, from repressed, to conceding, to indulging. He had untied all restraints, but now he found he couldn't control these unfamiliar emotions. His own body was beyond his control; he began to endlessly loathe himself.

He wanted to hear Wen Changling's voice.

On the desk lay only Xuan paper. He pulled out many sheets, wiping his hands over and over again, until the palms heated up before he finally stopped. With fingers that had been wiped clean, he dialed a series of numbers he knew by heart.

The ringtone sounded only twice before Wen Changling answered.
