"Great! You've got nerve! I'll do it!" High Ruolan knew the consequences of what Guo Liang would have to endure when he called on the house steward, Chen Jiangliu, and could only agree for now. Guo Liang paid her no further attention, simply playing a DVD with great interest. In the same study, doing entirely different things, Ruolan had no heart for what she was doing. After struggling through just one problem, she couldn't hold it any longer. She wanted to see just what exactly captured Guo Liang's attention. So, seizing the moment when he wasn't looking, she moved close and saw—taekwondo! Wow! It was the very DVD that Guo Liang had taken from her the day before! Perfect—she'd get to enjoy it too. With renewed enthusiasm, she settled in to watch, completely forgetting about her own duties for the day. "Master, Master! The lord has returned!" Chen Jiangliu gently knocked on the study door. Gao Huang replied and, like a thief, quickly turned off the CD player, preparing to remove the disc. Unexpectedly, Gao Ruolan snatched it right from him, which made Gao Huang quite annoyed, shouting, "Give it back! Give it back!" "I won't! I won't!" Gao Ruolan was determined to hold onto this CD she had long admired. She had been unable to sleep for several nights just over this very disc—how could she miss this opportunity now? Gao Liang quickly picked up a homework book and held it up in front of Gao Zhongming, who was delighted and immediately opened it—only to have his expression stiffen and then turn angry. "Gao Liang," he exclaimed, "this is a blank board!" He then swiftly flipped through the other five books. Aside from one that had a single problem solved, the rest were all blank. Fuming, he became increasingly enraged. At that moment, the DVD in Gao Ruolan's hands had caught Gao Zhongming's attention. He gestured for her to hand it over, only for Gao Liang to snatch it away and say, "This is a commercial DVD—I was only focused on watching it, so I only solved one problem. If you doubt it, just ask her!" He then gave a glance to Gao Ruolan, but Gao Ruolan, unwilling to lie, replied, "This is clearly a Taekwondo DVD! How can you possibly claim otherwise?" Gao Zhongming stared at her with wide eyes, pressing his fingers against his nose. "Dad, this is a commercial DVD!" Gao Liang reiterated firmly. "Sir, this is clearly a taekwondo DVD!" Gao Ruolan was truly causing trouble for Gao Liang, prompting him to grit his teeth and whisper softly into her ear, "You're a real misfortune—today's all over for you!" At that moment, Gao Zhongming had already picked up the disc and, upon looking at the cover, burst into laughter, saying, "This is clearly a business DVD!" Hearing this, Gao Ruolan was utterly stunned—she couldn't believe her ears. She approached closely and looked, and what a surprise! The taekwondo DVD had suddenly transformed into a cover for a course on Business Management. To confirm, she suggested testing it on the DVD player, and sure enough, the content being played was indeed about business management. The sun rose from the west—Gao Ruolan was so amazed that she couldn't even believe what was happening. She stood there, as if a simple-minded girl, completely motionless. Gao Zhongming, on the other hand, praised her warmly, saying, "Your son has grown up! Our family's business is truly being carried forward!" "With that, he happily departed, leaving Gao Liang laughing joyfully and Gao Ruolan stunned and speechless. "I won! Poor thing, don't forget—I've got six assignments all due to you!" Gao Liang beamed with a cheerful smile. "Won't you be like the God of Light, with thirty-six transformations?" Gao Ruolan asked unexpectedly, her eyes wide open. "What do you think?" Gao Liang replied. At that moment, he produced two DVDs—one on Taekwondo and one on Business Management—further astonishing Gao Ruolan. "Can you really transform?" Gao Ruolan asked. "Yes, I can, but it's just magic!" Gao Liang didn't want to reveal his true nature to a mortal woman, especially not to Gao Ruolan, who was, after all, his unlucky star. "Teach me! Teach me! I really want to learn!" Gao Ruolan suddenly became enthusiastic. High Li remained unmoved, which made Gao Ruolan quite anxious. So she broke from her usual demeanor and adopted a delicate, pleading tone, saying, "Master Ou, please teach me! Teach me! I really want to learn! Please! Please! Teach me!" Wow—was this the star that never shone? Since her rebirth into this world, this was the first time a girl had shown such endearing affection in front of her! Who exactly was this Gao Ruolan? The more she looked, the more she began to resemble someone from her own memories. At this thought, High Li suddenly remembered something. He pulled out a pink wallet from his pocket—exactly the one that belonged to her. As she stared in surprise, High Li had already taken out a sketch drawing from the wallet. To her delight, it was precisely the one she had painstakingly drawn over two months. "I've returned your wallet to you—thank you!" High Li handed the wallet to Gao Ruolan, who gratefully accepted it. Yet, he added, "And this sketch—I'm keeping it!" "No!" Gao Ruolan firmly refused—this was her own heart's work! "If you can explain to me why you chose to paint this picture, I'll return it to you!" Gao Liang proposed. "Because... because..." Gao Ruolan became suddenly excited, plunging into deep memory. Originally, while watching a new version of *Journey to the West*, especially the episode titled *Recruiting the God of Light*, she had been deeply moved. The God of Light and Gao Cuilan were separated due to the intervention of Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang, as well as opposition from their parents. Though the God of Light was poor and unattractive, he was hardworking and diligent, diligently supporting Gao Zhuangzhu's household and maintaining the family's stability. He had genuine feelings for Gao Cuilan. After three years of being formally married, they were forced to part ways in tears. As the God of Light prepared to leave and called out, "My lady, I will return!" Gao Cuilan burst into tears, rushing up the stairs to cry quietly. The God of Light, too, was deeply moved, tears streaming down his face. Finally, the God of Light accepted the new dress that Gao Cui Lan had carefully sewn for herself and departed. Gao Cui Lan leaned against the balcony, watching the figure of the God of Light grow farther and farther away, her eyes glistening with tears as she whispered, "My husband, I've been waiting for you!" What a touching scene! Gao Ruolan was moved to tears, feeling in her heart a deep, aching sorrow of parting—just like Gao Cui Lan's. Drawing upon her understanding of both the God of Light and Gao Cui Lan, she carefully rendered this moment on canvas. Yet this painting was no mere reproduction of a television drama—it was a genuine expression of her own perception of the God of Light and Gao Cui Lan, for only she truly felt what these ideal images should look like. To find that feeling, she read the scene from Journey to the West repeatedly, discovering a different sensation with each reading. After a month of such reading, she finally began to paint. Thus, drawing while finding his rhythm, the painting—crafted over two months with immense dedication—was finally completed by summer. Hearing Gao Ruolan's heartfelt narration, Gao Liang was moved to tears, a moment he had never experienced before, having never cried in front of anyone. Gao Ruolan saw a completely different Gao Liang—so different from the once-playful, domineering, self-assured boy—revealing subtle tenderness beneath his composed exterior. Together, they admired the painting. Gao Liang had projected it onto the large screen wall using a projector, and they enjoyed it side by side. At the same time, with his refined computer skills, he had retrieved the TV episode segment that Gao Ruolan had watched repeatedly. As they appreciated both the painting and the television scene, a mutual resonance emerged between them—one that even they found surprising. Because they together uncovered a stunning secret—Gao Liang noticed that the figure of Gao Cuilan in the painting was becoming increasingly similar to Gao Ruolan, while Gao Ruolan observed that the figure of the Light God in the painting was growing more and more like Gao Liang. When they saw the scene of the Light God departing once again, Gao Liang naturally called out, "My lady, I will return!"
