After dinner at a restaurant near the neighborhood, Gan Yuan took the little one back to the apartment, where Gan Tang went to paint, and she pulled out her phone to look for a house in B City.
H City is a seaside city, where last year she had taken the little one on a trip, and at that time, Gan Tang had a lot of fun. Gan Yuan knew her son liked the sea, so she decided to go to H City first.
Having booked a short-term rental online, she stepped out of the room again, took some fruit from the refrigerator to slice, and called Gan Tang to eat the fruit.
The little one didn't respond, so she walked up to the partly open door of the little one's room, and through it, she saw Gan Tang holding a palette in one hand, engrossed in his painting.
On the paper, the painting was nearly complete.
