Chapter 163


    After ss in the afternoon, I received my handmade ceramic mug.


    A drawing of two children was on the light blue mug. The tall one was a boy of about ten years old, and


    the short one was a girl with two braids. He was holding her hand while she was talking to him with her


    head tilted up. He showed a gentle and indulgent smile.


    That was my clearest memory of Colin when I was about five.


    I cleaned the mug, put it on the table, and admired it. I even took out my phone and took a few photos


    as I waited for Colin to receive his gift.


    After that, I could post the photos on WhatsApp Status to show off.


    The coursework here wasn’t as much as it was at Lincoln University. Our tutor often took us to ces


    with unique scenery or historical heritage. He would also let us read ssics and poems and conduct


    research based on our different perspectives. Our creations contributed to our academic scores.


    On Friday morning, 17 of us followed our tutor to visit the tomb of a princess. It was more than 30 miles


    away from Jinovy.


    It was called a princess‘ tomb, but it looked more like arge garden. There


    were few buildings there that had Medieval characteristics. As for the tomb


    itself, it wasn’t very ornamental.


    The tutor told us the legendary and poignant life of the princess eloquently and emotionally. She loved


    a young man but couldn’t be with him. Despite her depression, the imperial power forced her to marry


    someone she didn’t


    love.


    Later on, she finally thought of resisting. However, she ultimately jumped off a building to end her life.


    After she died, the young man she had been thinking about all her life returned with achievements. As


    he had returned, victorious in war, the king’s reward for him was her freedom.


    It was a pity that they were not meant to be. They were separated by death at the moment closest to


    happiness, not getting a chance to live their lives


    together. What a sad ending.


    Seeing that the princess in red clothes had lost her breath, the young man was heartbroken. However,


    there were still dozens of people in his family, so he dared not follow in her steps.


    The king was a ruthless man as well. As the princess was of noble birth, the king ordered his men to


    take her body away without leaving her belongings to the young man.


    He could only use the purse she had given him many years ago to build a monument for her. After


    resigning from his position, he spent his days guarding her tomb and never married.


    When everyone heard the story, their first reaction was to sigh and feel pity for that couple. Some


    used the king of being cruel. Two female


    ssmates even burst into tears.


    It was such a tragic story, but the topic was about hope. The tutor wanted us to break away from our


    inherent rational thinking and give the princess an ending on our own.


    This way of painting was quite new. We discussed it together for a long time.


    The tutor also said that we should hand in the assignment in half a month. The first–ranked painting


    would be exhibited at Jinovy’s triennial art


    exhibition.


    The paintings in Jinovy’s art exhibition were all done by famous painters from all over the world.


    Newbies like us could only look up to them. Now that we had an opportunity to participate in it, we were


    excited.


    It was already 3:00 pm when the visit came to an end. The sky was a little


    cloudy.

    We got into the minibus. Halfway through the journey back, Matthew called

    me, saying that he was nearby for business. He asked me to get down from


    the bus and wait for him.


    I happened to see a factory area at the front, and a few vendors were selling fruit. I got off the bus here


    and waited for him.
