Chapter 172: Drawing a riddle
Leaving Ning Ying's room lightly, walking quickly through the corridor back to his bedroom, Nangong Yi was not sleepy, stood quietly at the window for a while, opened the curtains, sat on the rattan chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and leaned over slightly to look at the bright building lamp under his eyes.
He was not in the habit of turning on the light as soon as he entered, and the bedroom was dark, and the faint light through the window revealed his contemplative countenance. The brows are deep and still a handsome and good-looking face, and the shadow floating by the window can't help but pause and enjoy it on the side.
It's just that the cold ice that overflowed from it also made them shudder, so they had to hurriedly and quietly dodge before he came back to his senses.
There was movement behind him, Nangong Yi turned his head slowly, Lao Xu stopped and leaned over to him, straightened up and staggered forward to his side.
Lao Xu's legs and feet became more and more unstable, Nangong Yi got up and took a rattan chair for him, asked him to sit down with him, picked up the teapot at hand and said slowly: "How is it, did you find it?"
He lowered his head to take the tea he handed to him, and took a sip to moisten his throat. "The painting given to the Luo family at the annual meeting was indeed imitated by a small painter, and the inscription was also written by himself as he wanted. He said that the two lines of inscription on the original painting and the text on the seal were unrecognizable to him, so he did not copy them on the new painting. The original painting was in his possession not long before you bought it, but it was later bought at a high price, because the buyer was quite mysterious and paid a huge amount of money in cash, leaving no information at all, so ...... There is no way to find it yet. ”
"Well, where did he get that painting?"
"Oh, he said a friend sold it to him. I found his friend, and his friend said that he got it from another friend, round after round. The artist said that the original painting was very old. It should be a long time, and it has been done by many people, so it is difficult to find the bottom. ”
"Well, any other news?"
"It's okay for now. ”
"Let's go back first. ”
"Okay, you can rest early, don't stay up too late. ”
"Hmm. ”
Nangong Yi closed his eyes after answering, and Lao Xu felt that something was not right for him tonight. But he didn't dare to say anything more, and left slowly. Ning Ying lives with him, but he is lukewarm to her. It's just that occasionally I give her a little care, and there are no special feelings in it. He is like this to Ning Ying, and he will not be too special to Luo Ying, he doesn't need to worry that he will be confused about Luo Ying's true feelings. From start to finish. He also didn't forget that he approached her in order to find the right time to get the Hades Jade on her. He didn't have to explain much to him.
Even if he behaves affectionately, it is to hide people's eyes, and the more affectionate and realistic he is, the less suspicious he is.
"Ho ......" Lao Yi walked away, Nangong Yi reopened his eyes and got up with a sigh.
Tonight, because of Luo Ying, he remembered her in the past, and his sorrow gradually surged up again. The look of the bone-old flower he loved was gone in his mind, and now he only remembered the blood-soaked bewitching dress on her.
Maybe it's the age, or maybe the memory of going through the path of reincarnation is worn out badly. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't remember what she looked like, he only remembered that there was a relationship.
He can see it. I also thought that he shouldn't remember her, and he didn't remember it, so he didn't usually care much about it. But for some reason, at this moment, she was blocked in his heart.
The vague blood-colored dress in his memory is difficult to erase, and thinking about the painting he gave to Luo Ying as a gift for the annual meeting, he feels more and more familiar with the red dress of the woman on it. He bought the painting himself, and the first time he saw it, he decided to buy it. The inscription on the painting obviously did not match the style of the painting, and although he knew that it was not a precious original, but a fake imitation of the painting, he still bought it.
decided to buy it, not because at that moment I felt that the person in the painting looked a little like Luo Ying, because Luo Ying never wore such heavy makeup, and she couldn't reveal that kind of rebelliousness. After buying it back and taking a closer look, he felt that her facial contours were a bit like Luo Ying, and finally decided to give it to her as a gift for the annual meeting. He would buy it only because he felt her eyes glow, as if he had looked at each other countless times, and then if he glanced at him, he would be captured by her.
It's incredible.
Despite this, however, the Stygian Flower Demon is always beautiful, and there are countless bone Stygian Flowers in the underworld, and he doesn't think that there will be any connection between Luo Ying, who was also a Stygian Flower, and her who he used to be, and the same with the person in the painting. After all, painting is painting, and the painter can play as he wants, and it is still difficult to say whether the person on the painting really exists.
He didn't get too caught up in finding out who the person was in the painting, but he really wanted to get the original painting and see what the original inscription was.
It was dark outside the window, there was a cool breeze on the balcony, and it was a cloudy day. Luo Ying stretched out on the balcony, looked at the green trees in the courtyard, and turned back to the room and went downstairs.
Xie Ya had already left Luo's house in the middle of the night, and when Luo Ying went downstairs for breakfast, Xiu's mother told her that Xie Ya had already traveled, she nodded calmly, and stepped out alone after breakfast.
Tomorrow she has to go back to her hometown, and she will be able to come back after the New Year's Festival, and she will go to the welfare home today to see those children first. Last night, she refused Nangong Yi's request to let her take him with her, thinking that he would come over this morning and rely on her to go with her, but she didn't see him until she walked to the door of the welfare home, and she was finally relieved.
Seeing that she had climbed well and should be able to walk in the near future, she played with the children in the orphanage until they took a nap at noon, and then said goodbye to the director and left the orphanage.
On the way home, passing the bridge, she turned her head to look at the river and the banks under the bridge, blowing a cool breeze that was not biting.
Xi Yuan and Zhou Li seem to have gone out to play, and she can't contact any of them in the past two days.
When she came home just to read a book, she had lunch outside and spent an afternoon in the library.
Time passed between the lines, page after page, and it was getting late, and without waiting for An Yanyao to call her, she left the library at a good time.
Stepping out of the library and taking out his mobile phone, there was still a bunch of information from Nangong Yi on his phone.
She had read them all, but only replied with a short one.
- Don't come here at any time, I don't have time to see you.
Later, she was going to have dinner at Anzhai, and after dinner, she might have to go out to do something else, but she really didn't have time to pay attention to him, and even if she was free, she didn't want to pay attention to him.
When she came to Anzhai at dinner time, the meal was ready, and it had become a habit for her to go in and out of Anzhai, and now, Anying would not give her a hug as soon as she saw her.
During the meal, An Yanyao just smiled and asked her to eat more, and then stopped talking more, and whatever Anying explained, he nodded obediently and agreed.
Luo Ying also knew that An Ying would not let her go home after she had dinner, and she had already been mentally prepared. Sure enough, as soon as he finished eating, An Ying said that he wanted to bring some gifts back to the little brothers and sisters in An Yanyao's hometown, but he didn't know what the children like now, so she asked her to help accompany him out to buy something, and it was also a walk.
She nodded in agreement, sat for a while, and then went out with An Yanyao, who had a calm face, he didn't speak, and she was silent. Walking along the courtyard wall next to the avenue, when she was about to see the gate of her house, she secretly raised her heart, for fear that Nangong Yi would appear in her sight later.
