Chapter 640: My Condolences
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong was also a painter. She was very patient with Mr. Xia, who was like-minded.
Seeing that the two of them had already started discussing, Gu Dajiang picked up a book and sat quietly at the side to read.
It was only when Shao Qingyuan came in that he went out to talk to his wife and daughter.
After some time, Gu Yundong raised her head and rubbed her sore neck.
A cup of tea suddenly appeared in her hand. She looked up and met Shao Qingyuan’s dissatisfied expression. She immediately smiled.
Shao Qingyuan was dissatisfied with Master Xia, so he didn’t even serve him tea.
However, Master Xia didn’t care at all. He didn’t even realize that Gu Dajiang had long changed to Shao Qingyuan in the room. He only nodded repeatedly with his painting.
“Excellent, excellent. With Miss Gu’s guidance, it’s as if I’ve been enlightened. I’ve learned a lot.” Master Xia laughed and put down the painting in his hand. He went to take another one.
This time, Gu Yundong did not need to say anything. He could find the problem himself.
He immediately beamed with joy and danced with joy. After a long while, he calmed down and asked Gu Yundong, “Yundong, your painting skills are so good. Your teacher must be a big shot in the current era. I wonder where he is now. Can you introduce him?”
Gu Yundong said, “I might never see him again in this lifetime.” Her teacher was in another world.
However, Master Xia misunderstood and thought that her teacher was no longer in this world. He immediately sighed. “The heavens are jealous of geniuses. My condolences.”
Gu Yundong was speechless.
Master Xia did not continue the topic. He flipped through his paintings again.
After looking at them for a while, he took out a blank piece of paper and began to draw with a charcoal pen.
This time, it was as if God was helping him. It was exceptionally smooth and felt. The smile on Master Xia’s face never faded.
Gu Yundong shook her head. Although she liked to draw, it was nothing compared to Master Xia’s hunger.
She didn’t disturb him and walked out of the study with Shao Qingyuan.
It was only in the evening that Gu Yundong re-entered the study and called Master Xia, who had forgotten to eat and sleep, out for dinner.
Today was considered a housewarming. Gu Yundong personally cooked many good dishes.
In the beginning, Master Xia was unwilling to go out. Now that his inspiration had exploded, he had endless energy. It would not be a problem for him to stay in the study until the end of time.
However, after Gu Yundong twirled the fried chicken drumstick around his nose, he decisively put down the charcoal pen and quickly ran to the reception hall.
There were a lot of people, so they had to be divided into two tables to sit down.
In fact, Gu Yundong had wanted to invite Nie Cong over for such an important day. After all, they had moved to the prefectural city. She had to let her friend know her address and get to know her family.
Unfortunately, Nie Cong was not around. Aunt Ke said that he had been sent elsewhere by his father to train.
Therefore, Master Xia was the only guest in the Gu family.
Either table was filled with more than ten dishes. Firstly, it was to celebrate the housewarming, and secondly, it was to celebrate Gu Dajiang’s entrance into school. Wouldn’t everyone be happy?
After everyone was full, Gu Dajiang personally sent Master Xia out. Then, he got Xue Rong to drive the carriage back to the academy.
On this trip, Master Xia had made a breakthrough in his painting skills. He had also eaten until his mouth was full of oil. He was already satisfied.
Yes, he could still find an excuse to eat next time. That Gu girl’s culinary skills were too good.
Not only was she good at cooking, but she was also good-looking. It was a pity that she was already engaged. Otherwise, he would have a lot of young talents to introduce to her.
The lively courtyard finally quietened down. After everyone had cleaned up, Gu Yundong got up and walked towards the Lu family’s house.
