Chapter 164: Watching the Art Exhibition
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even though Xi Wan’s tone seemed to deliberately ignore Xi Ze’s words, for some reason, Xi Ze could not get angry.
In his memory of his mother, she also liked to grow flowers and had a beautiful garden. However, ever since Wang Rui married into the family, the flowerbed had been changed beyond recognition.
“Let’s talk when we have time.” Xi Ze suddenly started to speak incoherently. “I still have to go to work and do my internship.”
“Okay.” Xi Wan only responded softly.
The art exhibition started at 3 pm sharp.
Lu Zhou was wearing a fresh and elegant floral dress and she looked youthful.
While looking at the paintings with Lu Zhou, Xi Wan also listened to the system’s introduction of Yang Fan. [Yang Fan, 26 years old, famous painter, graduated from a famous art school. Previously, the female protagonist wanted him to draw a painting for her but not only did Yang Fan refuse, he even bluntly said that the female protagonist was not worthy of his painting. The male protagonist was very angry and wanted to deal with him. In the end, the female protagonist was reasonable and moved by emotions. Not only did the male protagonist retract his thoughts, but he also successfully moved Yang Fan who willingly painted a painting for the female protagonist.]
Xi Wan said, “You’ve introduced him in such detail. Could it be that this Yang Fan is the fifth male protagonist?”
The system replied: [No, he only appeared twice. The first time was for this exhibition and the second time was when he painted for the female protagonist. The male protagonist was still jealous because of that incident and he pressed the female protagonist down on the painting and they did it once on the painting. In the end, the two of them expressed their feelings for each other and the painting was destroyed.]
“Then what is the meaning of this painting when it was painted?”
The system said helplessly: [I haven’t figured this out either.]
Lu Zhou pulled Xi Wan over to a painting and pointed at it. She said, “Xi Wan, look at this painting! Back then, Yang Fan relied on this painting to win the international art competition! He was still a high school student back then!”
Xi Wan looked up and saw that the painting was of a scarecrow standing in the wind. Its four limbs were tied up by red ropes and there were even signs of them being broken. At the feet of the scarecrow, there was a pool of clear spring water and a few carps could be clearly seen in it.
“The painting is indeed not bad.” Although Xi Wan did not understand the meaning behind the painting, she was not stingy with her compliment.
“This symbolizes breaking free from the shackles.” Lu Zhou said.
However, she didn’t realize this meaning herself. She had read the analysis on the internet and memorized it easily.
Xi Wan was just about to speak when someone walked over from the side. There was a hint of mockery in her tone as she spoke, “Mrs. Su is really free and elegant. You actually have the time to come out and watch the art exhibition?”
Xi Wan did not know this person, so Lu Zhou said, “This is Zhou Yue. She married Tang Hao a few days ago.”
Xi Wan suddenly realized, “It’s you.”
When Zhou Yue heard this reply, her temper flared up. “Xi Wan! Why are you pretending here? Don’t say that you don’t know me. We clearly met when we were young!”
Just as Xi Wan was feeling puzzled, the system suddenly shouted excitedly: [Found it! Zhou Yue only exists in a corner of your memory. It’s one of the people who bullied you before! However, your intersection with her is limited to this. She’s going to go abroad in a few days and won’t appear in the original novel again.]
Xi Wan’s expression was calm. “Then you should work hard this time and try to make me remember you.”
Lu Zhou continued to admire Xi Wan’s shocking response but Zhou Yue was already furious. “That’s true. After getting married, you can only rely on your husband. You have nothing to do on weekdays. Other than eating, drinking, and having fun, what else can you do?”
Xi Wan said calmly, “Thank you for your conclusion. It made me realize once again how happy such a useless life is.”
Lu Zhou: “That’s great! It seems that I will never be able to learn this kind of technique in this life!”
Zhou Yue’s face was twisted for a moment but she quickly regained her composure. “The Xi family is going to be done for soon. Let’s see how long you can continue living happily.”
Xi Wan pretended to be upset and said, “What should I do? But my husband is more powerful than yours!”
Zhou Yue was so angry that her face turned pale.
Lu Zhou gritted her teeth tightly and tried not to laugh.
Xi Wan’s tricks were endless and it was impossible to guard against them!
The gap between Su Xun and Tang Hao was at least ten Tang Ans. Zhou Yue knew that she couldn’t compare to him in this matter, so she chose a topic that was beneficial to her.. “I just heard you say that the meaning of this painting is to break free from the shackles and survive death?”
