Chapter 2155 Picture Frame
In addition to the plum lady and the plum tree, other monsters in this yard also interested the scholar.

This was the first time it encountered so many monsters.

Still living in such a peaceful way in a yard.

Well.

Or, harmony?
It has always been said that it never thought that this word could be used among monsters.

In its impression, the monster that drove it away at the art exhibition last time is what a monster should be like.

self.

Strong sense of territory.

There is also caution and precaution.

……

"of course can."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"You can stay as long as you want."

"I'm welcome."

"Besides-"

Xiao Xiao winked at the scholar, "I even accepted your 'bribe'."

He pointed to the painting in his hand that the scholar had just given him.

"Why would you disagree?"

……

"what?"

The scholar was stunned, and then hurriedly explained, "This is not-"

Painting is not a bribe.

It is a gift it gave to Lord Xiao Xiao.

A gift of thanks.

……

"I know."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved, "I was just joking."

"It seems I made a joke that was not very appropriate."

"what?"

"not me……"

The scholar became a little anxious.

He didn't mean to say anything bad about Lord Xiao Xiao.

It was so anxious just now because it was worried that Master Xiao Xiao would think that it accepted the painting as a bribe when it did not explain.
Of course this is wrong.

……

Xiao Xiao chuckled.

"I know."

"Chang En."

"Welcome to my home."

……

The scholar smiled.

"Thank you."

……

Xiao Xiao walked into the house with the painting.

He plans to hang the painting in his room.

……

"Xiaoxiao."

Xiao's mother was almost accustomed to encountering her son by chance in her living room.

"Why did you come back this time?"

……

"this."

Xiao Xiao raised the painting in his hand.

Mother Xiao looked over and smiled, and the next second her eyes suddenly widened.

"so beautiful!"

"This painting is of our white plum blossom!"

Xiao's mother recognized at a glance that the protagonist in the painting was the white plum blossom in their yard.

After all… “The drawing is too similar.”

"Do not."

Mother Xiao took back what she had said before, "It's exactly the same."

"beautiful!"

Xiao's mother couldn't help but take the painting and look at it carefully.

A face full of love and surprise.

……

"Xiaoxiao, is this what your friend drew?"

After admiring it for a while, Xiao's mother reluctantly moved her gaze away and looked at her son opposite her.

"I saw the drawing board and paint in the yard..."

But, I didn’t see the painter.

……

Because their son reminded them, they did not go to the drawing board to check.

I was afraid of disturbing others while they were painting.

After so many days passed, they became more and more suspicious of the painter Xiao Xiao mentioned.

Now seeing this painting, Xiao's mother understood why the other party took so long to paint it.

Such a beautiful painting...

The white plum blossoms were painted so vividly.

Even as an outsider, she thought it was really well drawn.

It's just... anywhere is good.

There is nothing wrong with it.

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "It gave the painting to me."

"gave it to you?"

Xiao's mother was surprised, "How can this be so embarrassing?"

“Such a beautiful painting…”

"Is it really given to you?"

Xiao's mother confirmed.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao laughed a little.

“Really gave it to me.”

……

"oh oh."

Xiao's mother smiled widely, "Since I'm giving it to you, Xiaoxiao, you should keep this painting well." "Well... hang it in your room."

“Don’t hang it in the living room.”

“If someone outside sees it, it will be bad if they want the painting.”

Xiao's mother thought of the last time someone wanted to buy white plums.

Thanks to my son, the matter was successfully resolved.

Otherwise, it would be a hassle to be entangled by the other party all the time.

……

"That's what I planned."

Xiao Xiao nodded and said with a smile.

"Then I'll take the painting upstairs first."

"Mom, you can ask Dad and the others to come to my room tonight to look at the paintings."

……

"Ok."

"Then let your father and his family open their eyes."

"I have never seen such a beautiful painting..."

Mother Xiao's gaze lingered on the painting for a while.

Then, she returned the painting to Xiao Xiao and said, "Be careful when you hang it up."

"Hey."

Xiao's mother suddenly thought of a question, "Do you have a picture frame to hold the painting?"

"The one with glass?"

Such a beautiful painting must be well protected.

……

Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned.

Then he shook his head, "No."

"Let me take the painting up first, and then go to the store to buy another one."

"Ah."

Mother Xiao nodded.

She feels at ease when her son does things.

But… “Where can I buy picture frames?”

“Is there a store nearby?”

“Will it be far?”

"mom."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "I know where I can buy it."

"It's not very far."

"Do not worry."

"oh oh."

Mother Xiao narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Okay, okay, I feel relieved when my son says so."

"I'm going to the store in front first."

"Be careful on the road."

"Ah."

Seeing Xiao's mother walking towards the teahouse in front, Xiao Xiao also turned and went up the stairs.

He put the painting on the table in the room and went downstairs.

He remembered that the art supply store where he bought a drawing board and paints for Chang'en last time sold picture frames.

……

Xiao Xiao took a taxi to the art supplies store.

Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance in the store.

"Third brother?"

Zhao Lu was looking at Xiao Xiao who pushed the door open with a look of surprise.

"Youngest?"

Xiao Xiao was also a little surprised.

"You're here with a friend?"

Xiao Xiao noticed the man next to Zhao Luzheng.

A hint of understanding flashed across his eyes.

Art Supplies……

Could this person... be the protagonist in the story that Zhao Luzheng told before?

……

"Ah."

Zhao Luzheng nodded, "This is my former junior high school classmate, Zhou Yao."

"Zhou Yao, this is my college roommate and a very good friend, Xiao Xiao."

"Our dormitory is arranged by age, Xiao Xiao is the third oldest, and I usually call him Third Brother."

Zhao Luzheng introduced the two people.

He knew that his third brother had guessed Zhou Yao's identity.

……

"Hello."

"Hello."

Xiao Xiao and Zhou Yao greeted each other.

Zhou Yao looked at Xiao Xiao with some curiosity.

After all, he is a student of Yanda University.

This identity makes the other party have a halo in his eyes.

As for the class monitor, he had a halo in his eyes since junior high school.

……

"Third brother, what are you buying here?"

Zhao Luzheng had a confused look on his face.

I haven’t heard that the third brother can paint.

Although it looks like the third brother can draw, it seems normal.

……

“Picture frame.”

Xiao Xiao saw through Zhao Luzheng's guess and said, "I can't draw."

"I just came to buy a frame to hold the painting."

……

"oh oh."

Zhao Luzheng touched his face.

Third brother is really observant and has a keen eye.

He put his hand down, a smile on his face, "That's a coincidence."

"We're here to buy picture frames, too."
