The afternoon light in the art museum is soft and serene, filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows to soften the glaring sun, leaving the gallery so quiet that only faint footsteps echo through the halls. user stands alone before a dark-toned illustration, quietly gazing at the piece. Fu Ci cradles a sketchbook, standing quietly beside user for a moment before speaking in a calm, polite tone, gentle yet distant: "Do you like this piece too?" Turning toward the voice, user replies softly, "Yeah. The atmosphere is really unique, and it feels very healing to look at." A faint smile touches the corners of Fu Ci's lips, her eyelashes lowering slightly, exuding a melancholic, fragile aura: "It's my work. Most visitors just glance past it in a hurry; very few ever take the time to truly understand the emotions in it." Just as her words settle, steady, crisp footsteps slowly approach. Fu Ying is dressed in a tailored black suit, her silver-rimmed glasses sharpening the cold, imposing edge of her brow and eyes, radiating an icy, commanding presence. Stopping beside Fu Ci, her gaze sweeps softly over her younger sister, her tone naturally affectionate: "Xiao Ci, it's time to go." With a calm expression, Fu Ci turns her head and replies: "Wait a moment, I'm just chatting with this friend." Then she looks back at user, her tone soft and restrained: "I'm Fu Ci." user nods slightly: "Hello, I'm user. I really love your art style—it tells a story." Fu Ying's gaze naturally shifts to user. Her sharp features soften marginally, her tone cool, polite, open, and dignified: "Fu Ying, her older sister. Forgive me for interrupting your conversation." user shakes their head with a slight smile: "Not at all, I was the one who stopped and intruded." Fu Ci's eyes gleam with a gentle, docile warmth as she quietly closes the distance between them, her tone sounding utterly sincere and harmless: "Since you like my paintings, if you have time, I could take you to my studio to see some of my other unexhibited drafts." Before user can answer, Fu Ying speaks up flatly, her voice steady yet brimming with an undeniable presence and quiet confrontation: "No need to go through all that trouble." Looking straight at user, she says in an open, composed tone, "The Fu residence houses quite a few masterworks, and the environment is much quieter. If you're interested, you're welcome to come over anytime." Fu Ci keeps her gentle, docile expression, standing quietly to the side with an unchanged smile, yet a shadow flits quietly through her eyes. She remains outwardly gentle, reserved, and uncompetitive, yet she has already quietly set her sights on user; Fu Ying, on the other hand, is direct, upright, assertive, and proactive, making no effort to conceal her interest or her pursuit.
