"Teacher," said Gila, "my family bought the original work from the palace painter, and it cost 50,000 gold coins. ”

Fifty thousand gold coins?

Mei Yi exclaimed with the rest of her classmates.

The classmate exclaimed, "Five...... Bought a painting for 50,000 gold coins? Guira,"

Mei Yi exclaimed, "Fifty thousand gold coins? Gila, you've been miserably trapped! This is not a masterpiece! ”

Jura was startled: "Teacher, won't you?" The painters of the royal palace said that paintings of this style had never appeared in the kingdom before and were very collectible. Aside from the style, the use of color, the shaping of the characters and the overall feeling of the picture are also rare masterpieces. Fifty thousand gold coins is definitely not a loss. ”

Mei Yi smiled bitterly: "Guila, what you said is right, the only problem is that I painted the original of this painting...... Sorry I didn't want to tell you that it made you feel disillusioned. ”

Gila and the other classmates exclaimed, "Huh? Teacher, you said that you painted the original of this painting? ”

Mei Yi said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I drew it last year when I went to the princess teacher audition, and I never saw it again. It turned out to be taken away by the painters of the court. So, Gola, give you five gold coins and sell me the original, right? ”

The classmate's face was black: Teacher, why don't you just grab it?

Serena instantly understood what Gila was drawing.

Gila was stunned for a moment, and said a little mischievously: "Teacher, the original work can be given to you directly, but it's just 50,000 gold coins." Just tell me who the girl in the painting is. She shouldn't be from our academy, I haven't found her for a long time...... Hey, it hurts ......."

Mei Yi knocked her on the head: "Hey, don't tease the teacher casually." If you want to stay, keep it. Stop looking for people and don't cause trouble to others. ”

After class, when Gola was cleaning up her easel, a man walked up to her and said, "Gola, can you let me look at the painting you just talked about?" I haven't seen a transformation worth 50,000 gold coins either, and I'd love to see it. ”

Seeing that it was Serena, the legendary senior sister of the second grade, Gila was so excited that she was incoherent: "When, of course you can!" That painting is in my house, senior sister, is it convenient for you, it will take twenty minutes to get to my house by carriage. ”

Serena smiled slightly, "Well, see you after school." ”

* * *

Serena stood in Guira's bedroom, looking at the carefully framed "Miss Serena of the Duke's Family", and slowly, tears rolled down her white cheeks.

She looked at herself in the mirror, wondering why she didn't recognize herself. Now I am wearing a long black dress, a white shirt, and my dull hair is tied with a blue headband, and I am so thin that I am out of shape, and I have no grace of the characters in the painting.

Guila personally walked into the unusually spacious room with black tea and snacks, and said to Serena, "Senior sister, can you have something?" ”

Serena quietly wiped the tears from her face, walked over to Gola and sat down, and said, "Thank you, Gola, it's really a good work...... Actually, I just think it's good-looking, I don't understand art. ”

When Gila heard Serena's words, she stood on her chair, took the painting off the wall, put it on the table, and said with great interest, "Sister, let me tell you what is good about this painting!" ”

So, Gila carefully explained to Serena from technique to color grading to character building, and finally said: "Senior sister, the most important thing is that there is a lot of information hidden in this painting, you take a closer look at the background of this painting, and look along the dark-colored leaves." ”

Serena looked closely, still not seeing anything, and shook her head. Seeing this, Guila stood up, took a few steps back, and said, "Senior sister, try to look along the dark-colored leaves again." ”

A few words in the painting suddenly became clear:

Love you so beautiful.

Serena let out a "ah" and covered her mouth tightly with her hands, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Regardless of the slightest idea, Gila put down the painting in her hand and said triumphantly, "How is it, senior sister, isn't it amazing?" This is how I reacted when I first discovered the mystery in the painting. After knowing that this painting was painted by Ms. Meiyi, I became even more curious, who is the elf girl in the painting......"

Guila took a handkerchief and handed it to Serena, and said, "I'm curious, since Teacher Meiyi likes this elf girl so much, why did she choose the current human wife." Of course, his wife, Miss Kira, is very beautiful and very nice, and she is worthy of Teacher Meiyi. ”

When she saw that Serena was crying even more, she said, "Senior sister, you ...... Is it a little too touched? ”

Serena hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry, I should go back." Thank you, Girla. ”

She picked up her bag and was just about to leave, when Gura suddenly said, "Senior sister, you are the girl in this painting, right?" Speaking of which, you and Teacher Meiyi are in the same class, and they were also in the same spiritual group before. Of the girls who have the closest relationship with the teacher, you are the most similar to her. ”

Serena picked up the bag that had fallen on the ground, said nothing, and continued walking.

Gila chased after a few steps, grabbed Serena, and handed the painting in her hand to Serena: "Senior sister, since it's your thing, let's give it back to you." I had also planned to find the girl, return the painting to her, and convey the artist's intentions to him by the way. ”

Serena was stunned and said, "I can't take out 50,000 gold coins." ”

Guila blushed and said, "I said that I would return it to you, and I didn't plan to ask you for money." ”

Serena said thank you, took the painting in her arms, got into the carriage of the mansion, and drove towards the Duke's Palace.

After returning to the mansion, the Duchess saw the painting in Serena's hand and said in surprise: "Nana, could this painting be the original of Meiyi?" Where did you find it? ”

Serena held up the painting in her hand: "Madam, do you see the words on this painting?" ”

The Duchess said, "There are still words on it?" ”

She looked closer and said, "Nothing." ”

Serena said, "Please take a few more steps." ”

"Love...... Love you beautiful all your life? The Duchess was surprised, "Is this what Mei Yi is hiding in the painting?" ”

Serena nodded, and Mu Ran walked back to her room, looking at the bathtub-sized painting hanging on the wall.

There were no code words or codes in the painting.

If you look closely, the painting was painted from memory after all, and although the details are more delicate, the overall feeling is still much worse.

She sat on the bed, her head buried between her legs, wondering why it had become the way it was.

She knew that she had to make a decision with herself, either she would confess her feelings for Meiyi, or she would cut off contacts and thoughts, let go of herself and others.

In this way, she sat in bed all night, stayed up until dawn, and made a final decision.

Cut off contacts and thoughts.

Never again.

Serena got up, cleaned herself up, had a quick bite to eat, and drove to school in a carriage.

The sky was overcast, and it seemed that heavy rain was imminent.

Still some distance from the school, Serena heard a noise at the school gate.

She lifted the curtain and saw a crowd of people standing at the school gate, not knowing what was happening.

A familiar voice came into my ears.

"Dean Shiro, teachers, and students, let's stop here. Even though I have been a student and a teacher in this school for a few months, I am still quite happy. Thank you for taking care of me and my wife, goodbye. ”

Mei Yi took the hand of Kira, who was crying silently, and bowed deeply to everyone.

When Serena heard this, she hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, saw Mei Yi open the curtain of the carriage, helped Kira into the carriage, and said to Cecilia, the deputy head of the Royal Palace Knights from the royal family, "Lord Cecilia, you can go." ”

Cecilia nodded coldly, and as soon as she raised her hand, all the knights of the palace jumped on their horses and prepared to set off.

Mei Yi was just about to get into the carriage when she grabbed him with one hand.

It's a flowing tide.

Liuxi's eyes were red, he lowered his head and didn't speak.

Mei Yi saw Cecilia's vigilant look, so she said, "Lord Cecilia, she is a classmate in the former class, and she has nothing to do with me, so you don't have to embarrass her." ”

Cecilia said coldly: "Lord Meiyi, you don't need to say it, we have investigated all the people who should be investigated. Please hurry up, we've been delayed with you for half an hour. Please don't delay the joint trial tomorrow morning, okay? ”

Joint trial?

Serena was dripping down in a cold sweat, and her whole body was stupid.

Mei Yi jumped into the carriage, and the Templars, riding a tall unicorn and holding a spear, drove down the main road of the flower spirit, speeding in the direction of the true spirit, and disappeared within a few minutes.

Selina walked to the gate of the academy in despair and asked, "What happened?" ”

Teacher Kritia choked up and said, "The people of the Knights of the Royal Palace came to the Flower Spirit Academy early in the morning, saying that they would bring Meiyi and Qiluo to the True Spirit to participate in the public trial, and the public trial day is tomorrow. ”

Serena asked tremblingly, "Why did Kira and Meiyi come to the academy so early?" ”

Teacher Kritia was on the verge of breaking down, "They didn't go home last night, they sat on the bench all night. They should have received the news in advance and wanted to spend their last night at the Academy. ”

"Is there anything we can do for them?" A classmate from the spiritual arts class asked.

Teacher Kritia smiled sadly: "What did you do earlier?" What's the use of saying all of that now? You don't know what a joint trial is, do you? The joint judgment is a joint judgment between the kingdom and the main temple, and those who have been judged jointly in the history of the kingdom have also been stripped of their religious membership and exiled to the north. ”

Serena fell to her knees as if she had been hit on the head.

The downpour came, and the entire flower spirit was shrouded in misty rain and mist.

Kira had asked me for help

But I ignored it, and only knew how to run away

It's true

Are we going to see each other again?
