By the time Annan woke up, his portrait was already complete.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation."
Amos's voice came from behind Annan, "Really... You don't need to prepare dinner?"
"... No, let's prepare it anyway."
There was a hint of hesitation in Annan's tone.
Amos immediately chuckled, "That's more like it. I am a hospitable person after all..."
Although those words sounded indeed polite...
the near-overflowing impatience in his speech was in no way concealed. He did not invite Annan to look at the painting; instead, he put the painting away by himself. When he invited Annan, he spoke very quickly and did not even look him in the eye.
Annan sharply sensed a kind of superiority in his behavior... as well as a not very apparent sense of inferiority.
He treated Jiu'er especially well, probably because, while Jiu'er was playing the part of a homeless man, he still showed "curiosity" and "admiration" for his painting, which fully satisfied Amos's vanity.
