Chapter 90 Cooperation

Lin Feng asked the old man about Xi Shi's specific address, but the old man shook his head, indicating that he did not know where his daughter lived in the city.

“After Xishi left the village, she didn’t tell me where she went. I only know that she was looking for her dream and pursuing her inner voice. But she might appear in some specific places in the city, or someone might know her whereabouts.”

Lin Feng decided to start from the communities and streets of the city, looking for clues that could provide information. He walked through the streets and alleys and asked nearby residents, but did not get any information about Xi Shi. He felt frustrated and worried that time was running out, but he was unwilling to give up easily.

Finally, he came to a small coffee shop, where he ordered a cup of coffee. Sitting in front of the window, he looked at the crowd outside, trying to find any sign that could help him. Just then, a female waitress came over to refill his cup.

“Are you looking for something?” she asked.

Lin Feng nodded and briefly told her the story of searching for Xi Shi.

The female attendant fell into deep thought, then said, “You know, a lady came here just now, she saw your postman outfit and asked some questions about the mail. She might know where Shih Tzu is.”

Lin Feng stood up excitedly and asked the waitress about the lady's appearance and whereabouts. The waitress gave him some information, and then he quickly left the coffee shop.

He followed the clues and finally found the mysterious lady. She was a quiet artist who was showing her work in a gallery. Lin Feng introduced himself and his mission to her and asked for her help in finding Xi Shi.

The lady nodded in agreement and said, "I know Xishi. She was once my student and we have a deep friendship. She has rented a small apartment somewhere in the city. I can take you there."

Lin Feng and the artist came to Xi Shi's small apartment. He knocked on the door gently, hoping to see the long-lost woman. The door slowly opened, and a young woman appeared at the door. She had deep eyes and a soft smile.

"Hello, my name is Lin Feng, and I come from a faraway place. There is a distant friend, an old man, who has been waiting to contact you. He sent me a letter, hoping that I can give it to you."

Xi Shi took the letter and her eyes fell on it. She gently opened the envelope and began to read. Her expression gradually softened and her eyes were filled with tears.

"This is a letter from my father. He has been waiting for me to come home," Xi Shi said softly, her voice filled with emotion.

Lin Feng felt a warm joy. This letter was a task he completed for a distant friend, and it was also an important connection between Xi Shi and her father.

"Your father has been waiting for you, and he hopes to see you again." Lin Feng said, encouraging her.

Xi Shi looked at Lin Feng gratefully, and then said, “I will go home to see my father, it’s time. Thank you again, Lin Feng, your coming means a lot.”

The two shared more stories in that small apartment, about Xishi's adventures and Lin Feng's journey. They shared the feelings of friendship and distant friends, and this encounter was a special moment that connected the bond between people.

Lin Feng's conversation with Xi Shi lasted for a while, and they shared stories about their hometown, friendship, and dreams. Xi Shi talked about her life in the city, her work and creation, and her journey in pursuit of her inner voice.

“Sometimes, leaving is to understand yourself more deeply,” Xi Shi said. “But I always miss my hometown and my father. This letter made me realize how important it is to connect.”

Lin Feng nodded, agreeing deeply. “Yes, connection is the bond in our lives. No matter how far we go, we can always return to those who care about us.”

Their conversation was filled with warmth and understanding, as if two hearts were getting closer to each other. Lin Feng felt that his mission was accomplished, as he successfully delivered the letter to Xi Shi, allowing her to reunite with her father.

“Thank you again, Lin Feng, your arrival has changed my life. I will go home to visit my father as soon as possible,” Xi Shi said, with determination flashing in her eyes.

Lin Feng smiled and responded, “I am sure you will develop a deeper connection with your father. This mission brings me a lot of meaning, but I will continue my work as a postman for now. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me.”

Lin Feng continued to move forward and complete his mission as a postman, but at the same time, he was thinking about his conversation with Xi Shi. Her creations and art inspired him to have a new understanding of cooperation and connection.

A few weeks later, Lin Feng received a letter from Xi Shi. In the letter, she expressed her gratitude and proposed an idea: to collaborate on a painting to express their stories and interactions. Lin Feng was excited and he immediately agreed to the suggestion.

Xishi's apartment became their creative base. Lin Feng shared his experiences as a postman, as well as stories with villagers and distant friends. Xishi used her art to transform these stories into paintings, with each stroke full of emotion and imagination.

Their cooperation became more and more in-depth, and their creation was not only a collaboration, but also a spiritual exchange. They found that in each other's company, their creation became more powerful and more profound.

“This painting will become a bond between us,” Xi Shi said, her eyes full of excitement.

Lin Feng nodded, feeling genuinely satisfied. He understood that collaboration was a wonderful way to create something exciting. This collaboration was not only about telling a story, but also about celebrating the connection between people, which was a priceless treasure.

As time went by, the collaboration between Lin Feng and Xi Shi progressed rapidly, and their paintings became more and more perfect. This work became a precious testimony, recording their story, friendship and collaboration.

One day, they were sitting in the studio, and Xishi suddenly came up with a new idea. She said, "Lin Feng, our cooperation is not just for ourselves, but can also help more people. I know a small community that is working hard to provide better education for children. We can auction this painting and donate the proceeds to them to help those children realize their dreams."

Lin Feng thought about it carefully, then nodded in agreement. “This is a great idea, Xishi. Our paintings can be a force to spread love and care and improve life in the community.”

They decided to organize an auction of their paintings to raise money for charity, which made their collaboration even more meaningful, as they were not only creating beautiful art but also contributing to the community.
