Chapter 2156 Destiny
After their last chat, Zhou Yao boarded a flight home on the following weekend.

After a few years, he went to his grandfather's warehouse again.

After searching for a long time, just when he was about to doubt his memory, he found the painting in a corner.

Because it was rolled up, the picture was not damaged.

But the back of the painting is a little yellowed.

There is also a lot of dust accumulated.

……

Looking at the painting, he still couldn't help feeling amazed.

this painting……

It was an unattainable dream of his.

Zhou Yao smiled bitterly.

The dream failed.

It would be nice to keep this painting as a souvenir.

……

Zhou Yao walked out of the warehouse with the painting.

The bright sunlight made him squint his eyes subconsciously.

Grandpa and grandma recognized the painting in his hands.

The two old men looked at their grandson and seemed to be hesitant to talk.

Zhou Yao knew what the two old men were worried about.

He smiled, looking natural.

"I suddenly remembered this painting."

"I just want to find it and put it away properly."

Seeing that their grandson looked fine, the two old people breathed a sigh of relief.

What is past is past.

I hope my grandson doesn't care.

"Well, such a beautiful painting should be kept well."

The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled.

The wrinkles on the face are smoothed out.

Zhou Yao stared at the painting on the table with its four corners pressed down by him.

It has been rolled up for too long, and the natural state of the painting is that it is rolled up.

First, press it flat.

That's all he can do.

He could do nothing about the yellow stains on the back of the painting.

After all, it was his fault for placing it improperly before.

Let this painting gather dust for so long.

Zhou Yao suddenly thought of what else he could do.

He is going to buy a picture frame.

Hang up this painting.

So, now I have an encounter with Xiao Xiao in this art supplies store.

As for Zhao Luzheng.
Zhou Yao thought it wouldn't take much time to buy a picture frame.

I just wanted to settle the meal I "owed" Zhao Luzheng.

"Third brother, the picture frame is over there."

Zhao Lu was greeting Xiao Xiao.

“We were just picking.”

"I just saw you come in."

"What a coincidence."

Zhao Luzheng couldn't help but sigh again.

“You can encounter this.”

Xiao Xiao quickly picked out the picture frame.

Zhao Luzheng looked at Zhou Yao inquiringly.

The picture frame was bought by Zhou Yao for use.

Naturally, Zhou Yao's opinion comes first.

He thought the picture frame chosen by his third brother was pretty good.

Zhou Yao also picked a picture frame like the one his monitor’s roommate picked.

It's been a long time since I last touched anything related to painting.

He felt strange.

I also felt a little confused.

He really did.
Not suitable to be a painter.

Zhou Yao lowered his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Looking at these paints and drawing boards again, Zhou Yao did not feel too much emotion.

He has.
Is it just because you are unwilling to accept your past failure?
Zhou Yao clenched his hands around the picture frame.

Perhaps, the lack of a genuine passion for painting was the most important reason for his failure?
He is too arrogant.

Do you actually want to achieve success by relying solely on mechanical efforts and your own insignificant talents?
He only discovered this today.

He was really stupid in the past.

I wonder if he is a little smarter now?

"Zhou Yao?"

Zhao Luzheng looked at the man who seemed to be concentrating on the picture frame in confusion, "What's wrong?"

“Don’t you like this frame?”

Isn't this what Zhou Yao chose just now?

Zhao Luzheng was a little confused.

Don't like this again?

"Then change it."

What a simple thing.

Is it necessary to think about it for so long?
Zhou Yao suddenly came back to his senses.

He turned his head and smiled at Zhao Luzheng, "No."

"This is fine."

"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been to this kind of store.”

"I'm a little" moved by the scene.

Zhou Yao didn't finish his words.

Zhao Luzheng nodded in understanding.

Also.

"Third brother, let's go."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Xiao Xiao and Zhao Luzheng separated in front of the art supplies store.

Xiao Xiao wants to go home.

Zhao Lu was just about to go to Zhou Yao's dormitory to see the painting left by Zhou Yao's mysterious teacher that made him very curious.

Zhou Yao brought the painting with him this time when he came back.

After returning home, Xiao Xiao quickly put the painting into the frame.

Then hung it on the wall.

Taking a step back, Xiao Xiao showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

Turning around, you can see white plum blossoms blooming outside the window.

The paintings are beautiful.

But the real thing is more beautiful.

After all, a painting can only capture the appearance of a moment.

But the real white plum blossom is changing every moment.

Xiao Xiao walked into the yard.

The scholar started a new creation.

He did not disturb the scholar who was in his own place.

He walked silently behind the scholar.

"Tweet~"

The pigeon fluttered up and down in front of Xiao Xiao's eyes.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing.

He stretched out his hand.

The pigeon fell on Xiao Xiao's finger.

"Tweet~"

The pigeon tilted its head and looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Boom~"

The baby spoon hung in the air.

"I want to go back to school."

Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the two monsters with a smile.

"Goodbye."

"Tweet~"

The pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the air.

"Boom~"

The baby spoon made an elegant farewell.

Xiao Xiao closed the door to the yard.

The plum blossom fragrance and coolness in the yard were isolated behind the door.

He turned and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

"Pfft hahaha~"

The child's unbridled laughter attracted a lot of people's attention.

Xiao Xiao also turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

Then, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Black Pipa Ghost?

"What is this painting?"

"So ugly!"

“Hmm, is this an abstract painting?”

“I can’t tell what’s in the painting at all?”

The children squatted on the ground and pointed and laughed.

Xiao Xiao walked in and found a painting on the ground surrounded by the children?
Or it would be more appropriate to call it graffiti.

It was carved out of stone.

The white lines outlined are messy and tangled.

Indeed.
It's so messy that you can't tell what the painting is about.

The Black Pipa Ghost did not notice Xiao Xiao's appearance.

It stared at the little brats who were laughing at its work.

The hands holding the pipa exerted force unconsciously.

His already dark face became even darker.

Then, a hand was raised.

"It's not good to get angry because of shame."

The sound that sounded in his ears gave Hei Pipa a startled start.

He almost dropped the pipa in his arms.

Realizing his own reaction, the Black Pipa Ghost tightened his grip on the pipa.

Then turn around.

The next second, Black Pipa Ghost:?!

Is it this human?!

".Drink?"

why is it you again?
The Black Pipa Ghost twitched his lips.

The tension in my heart dissipated a lot unconsciously.

Hasn't it met this human too many times?
Xiao Xiao shrugged slightly.

He felt the same way.

"Well, we are destined to be together?"

Black Pipa Ghost:.
It has no affinity with a human being!
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

"Still outside."
