?


    Owen Reynolds took a long, hard look at the object before him. It was supposed to be a human figure, but all it really had was a vague, borderline shape of a person.


    Forget about facial features or any semnce of expression; it was devoid of any detail.


    Owen was brutally honest, "...This feels a bit half-hearted. I can''t recognize it."


    A nce around the stall revealed that all the y figures shared the same, peculiar style distinctly unattractive in a very specific way.


    The stall itself was odd, unmanned save for a tripod holding up a smartphone, its back camera facing them.


    Roseanne pondered for a moment, "It''s a bit rough, but from this angle, it kind of looks like... Cupid?"


    As soon as she finished speaking, a young man suddenly popped up from behind the stall.


    Literally popped up, as if spring-loaded, snapping to attention.


    "Lady, you actually recognized my sculpture?!" The young man''s eyes sparkled with excitement.


    Heaven above, he finally found someone who understood his art.


    Roseanne was slightly taken aback, "It''s actually Cupid?"


    "Yes, yes!" The man nodded fervently, "You''re the first to see what my work is about, oh... I''m so touched!"


    Uh...


    Roseanne, “Even though your sculpting of shapes and features is... quitecking, the overall outline does hint at something. Are you into abstract art?"


    The man''s mood swung from touched to stone-faced in a second, asking her, "...Are you here to mock me?"


    Roseanne,


    Owen Reynolds, "She''s not wrong though, it is pretty abstract."


    The man, "??"


    Who says things so bluntly to someone''s face?


    Despite his online fame as the top y sculptor on a tform with two million followers, known for his motto "Sculpt anything well, except for human figures."


    Roseanne encouraged, "Just keep at it, and maybe the facial features will be clearer."

    Little did they know, the live stream was going wild withughter.


    【Who''s thisdy? Spot on with herments. I could almost see the seriousness on her face while she spoke! LOL...】


    【How many times has Mack been hit with reality? Why can''t he ept that his sculptures look like crap? Is it so hard?】


    【This time it''s different. Thedy gave him hope, then smacked him hard. ssic!)


    【That guy with her knows how to twist the knife without even breaking a smile.)】


    【Gotta say, this couple has some stunning looks!)]


    【They''re in front of Elite Business University, maybe students?】


    【She looks the part, he doesn''t】


    Seeing the spike in his live stream


    wanted


    the stall owner,


    to keep Roseanne ander


    Reynolds around longer.


    "I can make you both a couple''s sculpture, how about that?"


    Roseanne shook her head, "No, thanks."


    "Why not?"


    "I''m afraid I can''t face it."


    Mack, "..."


    Live stream:


    [LOL... I''m dying, she''s too witty!)


    【At this moment, I bet Mack''s face says ''I wish I were dead''】


    Mack, "I may not be great with individual figures, but I excel at couples!"


    Roseanne, skeptical, "Can a person who dislikes onions enjoy a bowl full of them?" Mack, "..."


    【OMG! I''m going to dieughing in this stream!】


    【Lady''s logic is impable, truly. She''s so earnest, I''m in tears!】


    Mack, "I have to show you today! Don''t worry, it''s on the house!"


    With that, he rolled up his sleeves.


    Roseanne was intrigued, “Alright, let''s see what you''ve got."


    Mack immediately directed them for a pose, Get your heads closer... Yes,


    even closer... Now turn your head a


    bit.


    swno


    Roseanne thought the "turn your


    head" instruction was meant for her,


    and


    Owen Reynolds thought the


    same.


    As they both turned-


    swno


    Their noses brushed against each other, lips grazing in a fleeting, unintentional kiss.
