Chapter 273: Portrait (2)
"Big brother is really strange," Gu Xiyu looked puzzled: "Obviously, the one I painted is coming, why did you paint it again?" "Also, hasn't the eldest brother always been at odds with Cousin Lan? Why did you draw the portrait of Cousin Lan?
Although Ye Qinglan is good at wrestling, she also has a feeling of being short of words at this time. How do you explain Gu Xinian's quietly portrait of her?
There's no way to explain it......
Ye Qinglan was calm, and said with a casual smile: "Look for it again, find out the one you painted!" ”
The trick of diverting attention has always worked very well for Gu Xiyu. Gu Xiyu really didn't continue to ask, and casually gave the portrait in his hand to Ye Qinglan, and went to find the one he painted.
Ye Qinglan calmed down, re-rolled the scroll in his hand, and then put it back in its place. With a casual glance, I suddenly saw a very familiar painting scroll.
Ye Qinglan's heart moved quietly. If you remember correctly, this should be a portrait of Shen Qiuyu. When she entered the study last year, because Gu Xiyu showed obvious disgust, she pretended not to be interested and didn't open it up. Right now...... Suddenly, I really wanted to see what Gu Xinian's Shen Qiuyu looked like......
Once this thought comes to mind, it can't be shaken off.
used to be simply curious about Shen Qiuyu's appearance, but at the moment, her mood is much more complex and subtle, and it is difficult to describe it for a while. Anyway, before she could press the impulse, her hand had already picked up the scroll and unfolded it without hesitation.
The long scroll unfolded little by little in her hand, and the beautiful girl standing under the begonia tree was smiling back, holding a delicate begonia in her hand, and looking at the young man in white not far away. The young man in white only showed his back, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but it was clearly the young Gu Xinian, and the two looked at each other. The thick and inseparable bond of the two emotions overflowed the picture scroll.
In the blank space of the scroll, there are two lines of beautiful handwriting. In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch. It is obvious that it is not Gu Xinian's handwriting, so it is naturally written by Shen Qiuyu.
This is Shen Qiuyu and Gu Xinian, who were in love when they were young!
Under the begonia tree. One painting, one inscription, with affection and two hearts. Such a beautiful picture is forever fixed on the picture scroll.
But who would have thought. The lover who fell in love with him when he was young will be the one who hurt him the most in the future! He threw himself at the third prince to deal with the crown prince for her sake, and pulled the prince off the horse. But he was betrayed by his lover again. With a heart full of resentment and unwillingness, he was reborn. How painful it would be to see such a picture again?
No wonder Gu Xinian didn't want anyone to see this painting. Because this picture scroll is the deepest pain in his heart. It represents the past that he least wants to think about. But he refused to destroy the scroll. Still stayed. Probably not to remember the love of my youth, but to remind myself not to forget to take revenge.
How deep the love was, how deep the pain of being hurt by betrayal was.
Ye Qinglan silently stared at the scroll in her hand, as if she saw Gu Xinian's pain when she was facing the scroll when there was no one in the dark night. At this moment, she was not jealous of Shen Qiuyu at all, but faintly felt sorry for Gu Xinian......
"Found it!" Gu Xiyu's happy voice suddenly sounded, and she turned around holding a painting scroll. Then he was stunned: "Cousin Lan, what are you looking at?" ”
Ye Qinglan did not hide it, and responded succinctly: "I'm looking at Shen Qiuyu's portrait." ”
The smile on Gu Xiyu's face immediately disappeared, and she said sullenly: "What is there to see about her portrait." I hate her the most by pretending all day. ”
Ye Qinglan smiled, and was about to say something, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her: "What are you two doing here?" ”
Gu Xiyu didn't have the slightest consciousness of intruding into people's private places, and greeted with a smile: "Big brother, why are you back?" ”
Ye Qinglan's heart jumped, and she subconsciously wanted to roll up the portrait, but unfortunately, Gu Xinian had already walked in, and it was too late for her to move fast.
Gu Xinian's originally casual smile retracted slightly after seeing Ye Qinglan's slightly weak expression, and her gaze naturally fell on the picture scroll in her hand. Then the smile faded from the bottom of his eyes.
…… People really can't do bad things, and they are actually caught like this. Under Gu Xinian's deep gaze, Ye Qinglan only felt that the scroll in her hand was extremely hot, and it was not okay to throw it away, nor to continue to hold it.
Gu Xiyu didn't notice the undercurrent surging between the two, and said with a smile: "Big brother, the painting you took away before Cousin Lan and I came to look for it, and now we have found it." I'll have to take it back. ”
Gu Xinian tugged at the corners of his lips, but there was not much smile in his eyes: "It turned out that I came to find the portrait of Cousin Lan." After a pause, he asked politely: "Cousin Lan also looked at other people's portraits 'by the way', right?" ”
Ye Qinglan smiled dryly: "When I was looking for the painting scroll just now, I accidentally opened it and took a look. Fortunately, it was not damaged or dirty, so Cousin Gu was relieved. As he spoke, he quickly rolled up the scroll and put it back in its place.
Shen Qiuyu is really the deepest thorn in Gu Xinian's heart, the kind that can't be touched. It's just that I looked at her portrait, and I was so angry!
Gu Xinian watched Ye Qinglan's movements, and his eyes darkened.
Even Gu Xiyu could see that Gu Xinian was in a bad mood, and hurriedly glanced at Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan immediately looked back, what did she hesitate about, hurry up and retreat!
Gu Xiyu immediately smiled and said, "Big brother, we won't bother you, let's go back first." Seeing that Gu Xinian didn't say anything, he immediately took Ye Qinglan's hand and slipped out.
"Wait." Gu Xinian's voice sounded faintly: "You go back first, I have something to say to Cousin Lan." ”
Gu Xiyu was willing to leave Ye Qinglan alone, and replied without thinking: "If you have anything to say now, why do you want to avoid me?" ”
Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan with a smile: "If Cousin Lan doesn't mind, I don't care." ”
Ye Qinglan immediately responded: "Cousin Xiyu, you should go back first." ”
Gu Xiyu: "......"
No matter how simple Gu Xiyu was, she began to notice the strangeness of the atmosphere. glanced at Gu Xinian, and then at Ye Qinglan...... And then, nothing was seen.
Gu Xiyu thought for a moment, and her face was worried: "Big brother, are you going to quarrel with Cousin Lan again?" ”
Gu Xinian: "......"
Obviously, the atmosphere was not right, but Ye Qinglan had the urge to laugh, looking at Gu Xiyu's face with concern and worry, her heart was a little warm, and she coaxed softly: "Cousin Xiyu, don't worry, Cousin Gu just has something to ask me, not to quarrel with me." If you don't feel at ease, just wait for me outside the study. ”
"Well, then I'll wait for you outside." Gu Xiyu nodded obediently, and then added: "If the eldest brother really kills you, you call me, and I will come to save you immediately." ”
Gu Xinian: "......"
The originally stagnant atmosphere was slightly softened. However, after Gu Xiyu left, silence returned to the study. Ye Qinglan cleared her throat and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I originally just wanted to retrieve my own portrait, and I never took the opportunity to peek at you." ”
Gu Xinian's face was deep and noncommittal. Apparently not very happy with her explanation.
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to continue to laugh: "Don't be so stingy, I just take a casual look, and I have no intention of tearing up or throwing away the painting." You keep the scroll and look at it whenever you want. I'm not going to be careful with you. ”
Gu Xinian's expression finally changed subtly, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean, you don't have any special feelings when you look at this portrait, do you?" ”
Ye Qinglan immediately put on a righteous expression: "Of course. I'm not the kind of woman who has a small belly. This is all your previous business, at that time, the two of us didn't know each other! I'm not going to be jealous all day looking for something that doesn't hurt. You can rest assured! ”
It's strange, she is so generous, why is Gu Xinian's face getting more and more ugly?
Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, this uncle is really difficult to serve. His current girlfriend has expressed his position like this, and he is still doing it with a gloomy face. Moreover, the face has a tendency to become more and more gloomy.
Ye Qinglan's mind was racing, and she said with a smile: "Your painting is really amazing, the painting of Shen Qiuyu is lifelike, as if he is about to step down from the painting at any time." Those two lines of poetry are also well written. ”
Gu Xinian reminded coldly: "Those two poems were written by Shen Qiuyu, and she once practiced hairpins. The handwriting is especially good! ”
The heartless girl was amazed when she heard such words: "No wonder she is famous in the capital, and she can speak piano and calligraphy well, which is really amazing." ”
Gu Xinian only felt that he was depressed, but the indescribable depression was unspeakable, his face became more and more ugly, and he deliberately said: "She also does very good poetry, and she is also good at female popularity." In terms of talent, there is no one better than her in the entire capital. ”
Ye Qinglan continued to praise: "It's amazing! Such a talented and beautiful woman is simply perfect. No wonder you loved her to death in your previous life. Speaking of this, her tone was very natural, and there was no displeasure in the slightest.
Gu Xinian secretly gritted his teeth, pressed down the unhappiness that was tumbling in his heart, and smiled coldly: "Compared to her, you are really far behind." ”
Ye Qinglan replied with a smile: "That's not what I said. She has her strengths, and I naturally have my strengths. Nothing compares. Hui Huang's eyes swept around Gu Xinian's face, and asked tentatively, "However, since you said so, do you regret dating me?" If so, then we'll break up now. Don't worry, I won't pester you......"
Before Gu Xinian was angry, he hugged her slender waist hard, and then blocked the angry mouth with his lips fiercely-
Gu Si was angry~~ Hehe
