In the flourishing garden, sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a mottled and scattered pattern. Su Wanrong stepped into this place where she often met Han Xi, feeling hesitant and uneasy. 0
 
After several previous interactions, Su Wanrong deeply understood that communication with Han Xi was not easy. Every conversation seemed to inadvertently deepen the barrier in Han Xi's heart. 0
 
 
Su Wanrong found Han Xi sitting in the pavilion, engrossed in a book and seemingly unaware of Su Wanrong's approach. Su Wanrong walked up quietly and attempted to start a conversation: "Xi'er, what book are you reading? You seem very focused." 0
 
Han Xi looked up, a hint of wariness in her eyes, and replied coldly, "This has nothing to do with you. I don't need you to disturb my studying." 0
 
 
Su Wanrong felt a pang in his heart, but still tried to maintain a smile: "Xi'er, I didn't come to disturb you. I just hope to understand you better and help you." 0
 
"Help me?" Han Xi sneered, "I have never felt your help. Instead, your presence makes me feel pressured. You always want me to do this and that, as if everything has to be done according to your ideas." 0
 
 
This statement made Su Wanrong feel discouraged. She didn't expect that her good intentions would make Han Xi feel pressured. She tried to explain, "Xier, maybe I am indeed too concerned, but all of this is because I want you to be happy and to grow into an outstanding princess." 0
 
Han Xi's expression softened slightly, but still remained somewhat stubborn. "I know my responsibilities, but I also need my own space. I don't want to be constantly watched, I need to make my own decisions." 0
 
 
Su Wanrong nodded, deeply feeling the need to change his approach: "Xier, I understand now. From now on, I will give you more space and freedom. I will only appear when you need me, and I won't needlessly disturb you anymore." 0
 
Although this conversation was still difficult, it invisibly brought the two closer. Han Xi slowly began to acknowledge Su Wanrong's sincerity, and Su Wanrong also learned to respect Han Xi's personal space and choices more. 0
 
 
After that day, Su Wanrong did not leave immediately. Instead, she chose to sit quietly in a corner not far away, allowing Han Xi to feel her presence while also giving Han Xi enough freedom and space. She took out her portable drawing tools and began to depict the scenery in the garden on the rice paper. Her strokes were light and smooth, vividly presenting the vitality of spring and the delicacy of the flowers. 0
 
This peaceful scene gradually caught Han Xi's attention. Her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the painting in Su Wanrong's hand. Seeing Su Wanrong's focused and peaceful demeanor, some of the stiffness and resistance in Han Xi's heart began to slowly melt away. She approached gently, standing beside Su Wanrong, quietly observing. 0
 
 
"You draw very well." Han Xi finally spoke, with a hint of barely perceptible praise in his tone. 0
 
Su Wanrong smiled slightly, stopped the pen, and turned to look at Han Xi: "Thank you, Xi'er. Drawing is a way for me to express emotions and perceive the world. Do you also like to draw?" 0
 
 
Han Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I used to paint with my mother a lot. Those were the happiest times of my life." 0
 
Hearing this, Su Wanrong felt a twinge of heartache and gently said, "That's a beautiful memory. Xier, if you're willing, we can paint together, not to learn, just to enjoy the happiness and tranquility." 0
 
 
Han Xi glanced at Su Wanrong, and the icy layer in her eyes seemed to melt further as she softly replied, "Perhaps we can give it a try." 0
 
From that moment on, a subtle change began to occur in the relationship between Su Wanrong and Han Xi. Although Han Xi still maintained a certain level of caution, she no longer rejected Su Wanrong as strongly as before. Su Wanrong, on the other hand, became more careful in exploring the best way to communicate with Han Xi. She learned to establish genuine trust and intimacy with Han Xi based on respect and understanding. 0
 
 
As the two of them spent more time together, they began to have more exchanges and sharing in various aspects of art, literature, and even life. Su Wanrong's warmth and wisdom gradually penetrated into Han Xi's inner world, while Han Xi's sincerity and openness also brought a sense of unprecedented achievement and joy to Su Wanrong. 0
 
 
In the following days, the interaction between Su Wanrong and Han Xi gradually increased. Although Han Xi still maintained a certain distance, she no longer expressed rejection and hostility as strongly as before. Su Wanrong's patience and care seemed to slowly take effect, and Han Xi's inner world gradually opened up to Su Wanrong. 0
 
In a late-night conversation, Su Wanrong and Han Xi discussed the art of poetry and painting. Han Xi has a high interest and talent in this area, and when she talked about her own views on art, her eyes sparkled with rare brilliance. Su Wanrong listened carefully, occasionally expressing her own opinions, and the two found resonance in the ocean of art. 0
 
 
"Su Wanrong, I never expected that you would have such a deep understanding of poetry," Han Xi said with a hint of surprise and admiration in her voice, a tone that Su Wanrong had never heard from her before. 0
 
"Xi'er, art itself is a form of soulful communication. I am glad to share this beauty with you," Su Wanrong responded, her eyes shimmering with a gentle light. 0
 
 
This conversation became a significant turning point in the relationship between Su Wanrong and Han Xi. Han Xi has slowly started to accept Su Wanrong's presence and no longer sees her as an outsider or a threat. Although Han Xi's trust in Su Wanrong is still being established, she is at least willing to listen to Su Wanrong's opinions and seek her guidance at times. 0
