After Fang Yi lent Guó Yuán, along with his painting skills, to Miao Tianfeng's umbrella shop, Guó Yuán stayed there to paint for days on end. He threw himself into his work heart and soul, forgetting to eat and sleep.
The manager and workers of Tianyu Feng Umbrella were torn between anticipation and anxiety, waiting on Guó Yuán hand and foot with the finest food and drinks. They both longed to see Guó Yuán painting without a moment's rest and worried that such intense exertion would compromise the quality of the finished products. Yet what worried them most was the stigma of a broken promise: with the agreed-upon sale date fast approaching, Guó Yuán had not yet finished painting the patterns on all the umbrella surfaces.
Miao Tianfeng had originally thought she was merely making a phone call to ask Fang Yi for help with a minor issue at the umbrella shop, only to learn the truth later. Every evening after her performance at Yayue Troupe ended, she would rush over to the umbrella shop through the night to check on Guó Yuán, bringing him all sorts of food, drinks, and daily necessities. She repeatedly urged him to focus on his creative work and not worry about anything else.
