"I like it." Qi Ke nodded seriously, "The first thing I came into contact with was the old man's calligraphy and painting works. Later, I began to learn from the ancient masters. ”

Li Zhiyan thought thoughtfully: "Then you should also know my grandfather's life, right?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"About fifty years ago......" Li Zhiyan paused for a moment.

Qi Ke had already suddenly realized: "The old man's lover has passed away." Since then, the old man's temperament has changed greatly. ”

Li Zhiyan snorted.

She took out the black-and-white photograph she had hidden earlier.

A man and a woman stood side by side. The two heads were close together.

The man was holding a little girl in his hands.

There is an older boy on the left and one on the right.

"This is a family portrait left from the past."

She focused on the Yongya woman in a cheongsam.

"This is my grandmother. I've only heard from my uncle and uncle that my grandmother is very gentle. ”

"In the past, my grandfather asked his three children to study along, and he was very patient. After Grandma Xian's death, he began to become irritable, and always felt that his child was not up to the mark. ”

Qi Ke looked at her intently.

Li Zhiyan smiled faintly: "I don't know what happened back then, after all, I haven't been born yet, and my mother is only a few years old." But I've seen it many times, and my grandfather took advantage of no one's attention to secretly take photos with my grandma to look at them. ”

"At that time, my grandfather lived in my house. He always thought that no one knew when he peeked at the photo. ”

"Now...... I want to give my grandfather a gift. ”

Qi Ke's eyebrows were lightly raised: "Are you going to embroider only this photo, or do you want to add something else?" ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to draw well." Li Zhiyan sighed lightly, "I want to add all the people in our family to the family portrait now." Grandma, grandpa, and us. I hope that the grandmother who appears in the embroidery at the end is old. I'm afraid I can't imagine it. ”

"This ......" Qi Ke carefully looked at the photo and thought repeatedly.

Li Zhiyan took out another scrolled painting.

She unfolded slowly.

"I painted it last night, and I always feel like it's almost verve."

Qi Ke looked fixedly.

The woman in the painting is still wearing a cheongsam. It's just that some wrinkles have been added to the face, and the hairstyle has changed.

He looked at the person in the painting and realized that this was the old woman in the photo.

But after a few more glances, I felt that something was missing.

I can't tell what's wrong.

"Grandpa is seventy-six this year, and I hope to give him embroidery on his 80th birthday."

"Qi Ke, are you willing to help me? I'm sorry...... We've only known each other for a short time, and I'm asking you for such an important thing. ”

A warm smile appeared on Qi Ke's lips.

"I do."

He was still worried that he wouldn't have a chance to get close to Li Zhiyan, and now Li Zhiyan would send the opportunity to him.

Old Man Gu's birthday this year has passed, and it will only be three and a half years before his eighty birthday.

But in the past three and a half years, Qi Ke has every reason to approach Li Zhiyan.

"Thank you." Li Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief, "I was going to learn to paint by myself, and slowly draw this family portrait that only exists in my imagination, and then embroider it." But my current embroidery is not good enough, so I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the time. If you're willing to help me draw......"

"Okay." Qi Ke responded in one bite.

He thought for a moment, and then said, "But I'm going to borrow this photo, and you're going to give me a photo of you and your uncle's family." It's best to have a group photo, or a solo photo of each person, and it's best to have the whole body in the mirror. ”

"I'll send it to you later. Add a friend first? By the way, I've only told you about this plan now, so please keep it a secret? ”

"I will." Qi Ke nodded solemnly.

His heart was already welling up with joy.

Keeping a secret together, does it mean that the distance between him and Li Zhiyan has narrowed again?

The two continued to discuss the matter of drawing family portraits.

After Gu Rongting finished the family video conference, he deliberately went around and saw that Qi Ke's room was dark, but two figures faintly appeared by Li Zhiyan's window.

He raised his eyebrows, stood still, took out his mobile phone, and quickly sent a message to Qi Ke.

"Boy, so fast? What reason are you approaching my girl? Confess and be lenient, lest you use the wrong method, but make my sister hate you. ”

Qi Ke's mobile phone was placed on the table, and the screen was still lit up displaying Uncle Gu's photo.

When Gu Rongting's news came, Li Zhiyan happened to come over to see the portrait that Qi Ke had just painted.

Qi Ke only had time to glance at the content of Gu Rongting's information in a hurry, and was busy locking the screen.

Li Zhiyan had staggered away, and his gaze was slightly away.

Qi Ke couldn't figure out if she could see the content of the message again, and she didn't dare to ask, but she felt that her palms were sweating.

Fortunately, Li Zhiyan was still talking about painting with a smile, and Qi Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

The night is darker.

The tools that had been placed on the previous desk were put away.

Li Zhiyan opened the door and sent Qi Ke out.

She watched Qi Ke return to the room, and saw the light in the room diagonally opposite, so she closed the door.

The smile between her eyebrows gradually rose, and she was only slightly sad.

"Qi Ke......" she tapped her eyebrows, "I guessed correctly, Qi Ke really ...... to me Hmm, it's kind of interesting to the original owner. And the Gu family should also recognize Qi Ke. But the original owner's level is not easy. ”

On the tail finger of her left hand, the silver-white tail ring that only she could see shone with a ghostly light.

After coming to this world, she has tried her best to collect as much information as possible on the premise that she will not be forcibly expelled from the world because of the will of the original owner.

Learning from Granny Zhang, inheriting the handicrafts that few people are good at, and using live broadcasts to expand her influence, these are her plans.

When she came to this world, the original owner was disheartened and had no interest in other things, but this ancient town, as well as the embroidery that the original owner insisted on studying for many years, could still make the original owner a little interested.

If she chooses another way to expand her influence, she is afraid that before her actions take effect, the original owner's will to reject her will be able to expel her consciousness.

And now, close to Qi Ke......

Anyway, when she planned to embroider a family portrait before, she already felt the approval of the original owner!

Now approaching Qi Ke for this reason will not cause a backlash from the original owner.

Even, she felt guilty from the original owner's emotions.

A kind of guilt that takes advantage of others.

Li Zhiyan looked up, looked through the window, and saw the light still shining diagonally opposite.

She drooped and turned off the lights.

The glimmer of light from outside allowed her to reach the bed.

Lie down, cover the quilt, and close your eyes.

Consciousness drifts into confusion.

Faintly, Li Zhiyan heard a sigh.

She wanted to chase the voice and find its owner.

But at this moment, she had woken up.

In the early morning, white light was already shining on the courtyard.

Diagonally opposite, the room was still lit.

Li Zhiyan's heart trembled, remembering Qi Ke's gentle and firm smile when he left last night.

She pushed open the door, wore a slightly messy hair, and walked towards Qi Ke's room.

Knock on the door, three times.

No one responded.

She raised her hand and knocked again.

Finally, there was a muffled answer from inside the room.

"Who?"
