Chapter 234 - 234 234 Empty City

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Empty City Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Empty City The name of Cherish Turner’s work was “Empty City,” and its image was based on Tanigawa Kenichi.

The handsome appearance, the wickedly playful face, and the strong physique all formed a full character, yet Cherish Turner named it “Empty City.”

Many people didn’t understand why Tanigawa Kenichi was portrayed as an empty city, and even many experts couldn’t figure it out either.

Regardless of the meaning behind it, this work exuded a powerful and infectious presence, as if the facial expression could reach deep into one’s heart.

It seemed that Tanigawa’s smile, although filled with laughter, carried a tinge of sadness, and his unfathomable gaze appeared to have no boundaries yet held infinite possibilities.

This expression was truly unparalleled.

As for Soudou Nami’s work, it also had strong expressiveness and power. It conservatively chose elements from modern Japanese manga, depicting a handsome man with flowing hair, making the entire image dazzling. However, it left people with an empty feeling and couldn’t reach the heart.

During the three-minute self-presentation time for the painting, Cherish didn’t use English but instead opted for Chinese, which most couldn’t understand. Mr. Tanigawa, however, could.

“Mr. Tanigawa, first of all, I want to thank you for all the help and care you’ve given me during my time in Japan, as well as your appreciation and praise. I’ll treasure these and strive to be a better version of me. Although you’re so great, I hope that one day you can open up your heart, try to accept and love those around you, and accept the love of those who love you. Only when you learn to genuinely love someone can you feel the taste of love. However, I’m not that person; I’m not worthy.”

As Cherish spoke, Tanigawa Kenichi had a moment where he felt that there was no need to compete with William Griffith. After all, whether Cherish would belong to William or not, she would never belong to him.

Tanigawa understood. That’s why the work was called “Empty City,” because no one has truly entered the heart of Tanigawa Kenichi just yet. He possessed everything others longed for, but he hadn’t experienced the hardships necessary for growth. Everything came easy to him, so his understanding of life wasn’t profound. He thought Cherish was his friend, and she knew he had feelings for her. So, she expressed these thoughts, hoping that one day he could find his genuine emotions and become a real man, a man with stories.

William Griffith, likewise, looked at Cherish, once again in awe of this woman’s emotional intelligence and depth.

Cherish always had unexpected surprises for him, as if a kind of soul resided within her small body that he couldn’t comprehend even now.

However, it was precisely because of this that he felt Cherish was one-of-a-kind in this world. Spending time with such a woman would never be boring. It was like peeling an onion, layer by layer, and every layer left him craving more.

There was a translator present who roughly translated the meaning of Cherish’s words. The judges, incorporating Cherish’s speech with her work, found that an extra layer of meaning enriched the piece. What was even more intriguing was that they not only gained a newfound understanding of this young woman from China but also of a different side of the god-like Tanigawa. They thought that after today, Tanigawa’s appreciation for Cherish would only grow, as she was indeed a captivating woman.
