Chapter 1671 Disappointment and Tension

"Ah."

The young man laughed, "It seems that my grandma and I don't have very good eyesight."

"I thought I had discovered something incredible."

“Just like in the novel.”

"Like a secret message or something?"

The young man shrugged his shoulders. "It seems that I really thought too much."

I don't know if Grandpa hid it from everyone, or...
It couldn't be that grandpa himself didn't know there was such a scene in his painting, right?

The young man was stunned.

For the guess that suddenly flashed through my mind.

No way?

"You."

The old man laughed and shook his head, "You are so old, but you are still like a child."

"Your personality is more like your grandfather than your father."

The young man's words reminded the old man, "In fact, your grandfather might really do what you said."

"But isn't the purpose of a person leaving a mystery for someone else to solve it?"

"If your grandfather really left a mystery in this painting, why didn't he leave any words?"

"Did your grandfather say anything when he gave you this painting?"

Although the old woman was present at the time, it is not ruled out that there were situations that she did not notice.

The young man thought carefully for a while.

Then he shook his head with some hesitation, "It seems not."

"After all, it's been a while, I can't remember it clearly."

"You kid, your memory is not as good as an old man like me."

The old man shook his head. “It was only a year ago.”

"It was so many years ago that your grandfather painted this picture, and I still remember it."

"hey-hey."

The young man smiled embarrassedly, "Grandma, you always have a good memory, how can I compare with you?"

"Don't say such nice things."

The old man stood up and asked, "What do I have a good memory for?"

"Are you a little disappointed?"

The old man looked at the young man.

The young man swallowed the denial he wanted to say with a look of understanding.

He nodded honestly, "A little bit."

"More than a little, right?"

The old man was not so easily fooled. "He was completely depressed."

"what?"

The young man scratched his hair and asked, "Is there?"

"Where can I have it?"

"Oh, grandma, after talking so much, my mouth is thirsty."

"I'll go have another bowl of mung bean soup."

The young man, who was about to turn around, caught a glimpse of the painting on the table and immediately stopped.

We need to put the paintings away first.

Seeing the young man's actions, the old man said, "Go drink some mung bean soup."

"I'll put the painting away for you."

"no, I'm fine."

The young man carefully rolled up the painting, "It doesn't take much effort."

"I'll just come."

The young man put the scroll into the box, put it into his bag, and zipped it up.

The old man looked a little dazed.

Although this was a gift from the child's grandfather, the young man's behavior... his carefulness in every move... made people feel like this was a treasure.

Of course, it is normal for children to treat the gifts from their deceased grandfather as treasures...

The old man shook his head.

Ignore the strange feeling in my heart.

"Ready?"

The old man smiled and said, "Come, have some mung bean soup."

Looking at the porcelain bowl full of mung bean soup pushed in front of him, the young man twitched his lips.

Did grandma forget that he had just drunk two large bowls of mung bean soup?

He also ate mung bean cake.

He had breakfast before coming.

Could it be that in his grandmother's eyes, he is a glutton?
Looking at the full bowl of mung bean soup in front of him, the young man felt a little burdened.

But grandma served him all the food...

The young man picked up the bowl and drank.

It would be a shame to let an old man down.

……

The young man stayed for lunch before leaving.

I haven't visited my grandma for a while. Although I was disappointed that I didn't get any useful information from her, I still had to accompany her.

Seeing the old man smiling happily, he felt that he was not so depressed anymore.

Who told him that he had poor eyesight and didn’t notice the special thing in the painting earlier?
Although... even if he had discovered it earlier, without classmate Xiao, he would not have known what this scene meant.

But he can ask grandpa.

But...if Grandpa was fooling him, he wouldn't know...

Thinking of this way, the young man felt less regretful.

There is no way to know what cannot be known.

The young man comforted himself.

Be more open.

……

After returning home, the young man fell on the bed.

The next second, the young man jumped up suddenly.

He was still carrying a school bag.

There are paintings in the schoolbag!

The young man hastily unzipped his backpack and looked distraught when he saw the slightly squashed box.

He is such a careless person!

He cursed himself in his heart.

He carefully took the box out and placed it on the bed.

After thinking for a while, he stood up and put the box on the desk next to him.

The bed is too soft. It would be bad if the painting gets wrinkled.

Opening the box, he looked carefully at the painting inside.

His expression changed.

There are fine creases on the drawing paper.

His heart skipped a beat.

It won’t affect the effect of the painting, right?

He paused for a moment before carefully spreading the drawing paper on the desk.

The painting is in mint condition.

He felt relieved, but was still bothered by some creases on the back of the drawing paper.

Because it was the back, he tentatively reached out and touched it a few times.

Of course, the creases won't disappear.

He told himself that they were just some creases, nothing serious.

But I was still a little worried.

He stared at the painting for a moment, then fished his cell phone out of his pocket.

I mentioned before that I would call classmate Xiao.

After such an accident happened this time, he had to make the call even more.

……

"Chirp~"

The pigeon flew towards Xiao Xiao happily.

Xiao Xiao reached out and took the vibrating phone, and touched the pigeon's head with his other hand.

"Thank you, pigeon."

"Chirp~"

The pigeon tilted its head and smiled with its eyes narrowed into slits.

The baby spoon on the side curled its lips.

It said, why is this guy suddenly making such a loud noise?
It turned out that I heard Lord Xiao Xiao's cell phone ringing.

Wouldn't it be that it has been keeping an eye on Lord Xiao Xiao's cell phone?

A look of suspicion appeared on Yingshao's face.

Otherwise, how could he react so quickly?

Before it could understand what was happening, it saw this guy flying out.

It would absolutely not admit that its reaction was not as fast as this stupid and silly guy.

This guy must have been keeping an eye on Lord Xiao Xiao’s cell phone.

Baby Spoon nodded.

Confirmed his guess.

……

Xiao Xiao answered the phone.

"Student Xiao."

A young man's somewhat excited voice came from the phone.

"Kong Yi."

Xiao Xiao called out the other person's name.

"Yes, it's me."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, he was the one who personally gave the phone to Xiao yesterday, but when he called just now, he was a little worried that Xiao didn't know who the phone number belonged to.
