Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The morning sun shone on the heavy flowers and trees, reflecting on the red walls that were filled with creepers. Not far away, the sound of reading could be heard.
“Old Zhong, I’m already here. Why don’t you show me that painting?” A loud voice broke the silence in the courtyard and shocked the sparrows.
Professor Zhang, who had been busy writing the country’s textbooks, finally had time to come to Elder Zhong to look at the paintings that he had been showing off.
“Coming, coming. Old man, you’re too impatient.” Elder Zhong walked down the stairs in a silk gown.
“Who asked you to keep showing off? You’re making my heart itch.”
“Here, here.” Elder Zhong walked to the desk and took out a painting from the drawer. He opened it and asked Professor Zhang to take a look.
On the lustrous white piece of paper, she took a white cloud brush and dip the tip of the white brush in pale sunlight red. From the front to the back, she poked the lice petals with the tip of the brush. The brush would be placed at the root of the valve, and the stamen had to be blank. She used rouge and light red or light yellow-green spots in the nursery, which would be dyed light yellow-green around the flower.
Due to the lack of ink lines, the petals and petals of the flower appeared round and gentle, like clusters of pink clouds floating on the Xuan paper.
Although the art of boneless painting had been lost for a long time, the later generations of painters had once restored this art from various ancient books. However, the appearance of the art could not match the essence.
Since there were no ink lines, it was very easy to draw a boneless painting.
However, the painting in front of him had its own charm. To be able to give the inkless bone painting such a charm, it showed the mentality and skills of the person who drew it.
“Old Zhong, who drew this? I don’t think anyone I know has drawn this style.”
Professor Zhang was a famous scholar of Qing University and an important talent in the country’s literary world. Almost all the famous literary workers in the country knew him. Professor Zhang searched his brain but did not find anyone with a similar painting style to this person.
“Let me test you. How old do you think the person who drew this is? What kind of person is the painter?” Elder Zhong suddenly looked mysteriously at Professor Zhang and kept him in suspense.
“With such charm and technique, I’m sure you won’t be able to draw it without forty years of effort. Could it be a peerless artist?”
“Haha, I thought so too. However…” Elder Zhong stroked his beard and stopped talking.
“You old man, but what?” Professor Zhang was intrigued by what he said.
“You’ll know in two days. I plan to invite that painter here in two days.”
“Okay, remember to let me know when the time comes. I’ll come and visit this mysterious painter too.”
Seeing that Elder Zhong was unwilling to say the name of the person who drew, Professor Zhang did not pursue the matter further. He only waited for a few days to personally exchange pointers with the person who drew.
“Brother, you’re back?”
Bo Yi, who was about to go out to attend the award ceremony, bumped into Bo Xiao, who had just walked in.
“Who’s your brother? I’m my mother’s only son. What face do you have to call me, you product of adultery?”
Bo Xiao looked at Bo Yi mockingly. The words that came out of his mouth were unpleasant.
“Bo Xiao, don’t you go overboard!” Bo Yi glared at Bo Xiao angrily.
When he was young, he had always been envious of Bo Xiao’s status as a young master. This jealousy had taken root in his heart every day.
Ever since Bo Xiao was sent abroad and he was brought back to the Bao family, he had become the Young Master Bo in everyone’s eyes, just like what they had always imagined when they were young.
When Bo Xiao was not around, he was the young master that was sought after by many. He was an idol and celebrity who responded to every call. But now that Bo Xiao was back and seeing him reminded him of his terrible identity.
Why did he come back?!
Bo Yi looked at the expressionless Bo Xiao hatefully. All these years, he had been deliberately disguising his temperament to become the rich young master of the entertainment industry that fans chased after.
However, at that moment, facing Bo Xiao, who was casually sitting on the sofa, Bo Yi felt a strange sense of inferiority.
“Oh, is the big star angry?” Bo Xiao’s lips curled up.
“Why did you come back?” There was no one else present, so Bo Yi could not be bothered to pretend.
“I came back to make you and your mother unhappy, didn’t I?” Bo Xiao’s fox-like eyes flashed. “That’s why I came back.”
“You!” Bo Yi clenched his fists as sparks flew in his eyes.
“Butler, come, help me tidy up the master bedroom on the second floor.” Bo Xiao called out to the outside and the butler entered the house.
“Yes, Young Master.” Qiao Feng bowed respectfully towards Bo Xiao, and his eyes were filled with love. He had watched Bo Xiao grow up. When Bo Xiao’s mother was still alive, she had quite the prestige. Many servants here were dissatisfied with Mo Ling and Bo Yi’s arrogance.
With that, the butler led the servants to clean up the master bedroom.
Bo Yi was left fuming on the spot.
There was no other reason other than the fact that ever since Bo Xiao went abroad, he had occupied Bo Xiao’s former bedroom and moved into the master bedroom himself. Although Father Bo had scolded him a little, with Mo Ling helping him, Father Bo did not say anything else.
Now that Bo Xiao had come back and wanted someone to clean the master bedroom, wasn’t this a slap in his face?
However, he did not dare to do anything to Bo Xiao face to face. After all, he still remembered how Bo Xiao had beaten up the bodyguards at Mo Ling’s wedding five years ago. He could only watch as the servants moved his things out.
“Pfft, Bo Xiao, don’t be too arrogant. Let’s wait and see.”
With that, Bo Yi left the villa angrily.
“Next up is the male lead, Bo Yi, who is currently in the midst of a popular movie, who has transmigrated and fallen in love with you. Everyone, let’s give him a round of applause!”
[ Wow, Young Master Bo is so handsome! ]
[ I think you’re referring to my husband! ]
[ As expected of the rich young master of the entertainment industry. I love this temperament of his. ]
[ No wonder Xia Wanyuan insisted on using Bo Yi as a publicity stunt. Who wouldn’t want to be with such a good-looking person? ]
[ Can you not mention those disgusting people like Xia Wanyuan? ]
[ That’s right. It’s disgusting to even put Xia Wanyuan and my idol’s names together. ]
There was a warm smile on Bo Yi’s face, and his tall and elegant figure looked extremely radiant under the spotlight. However, there was still a trace of anger in his eyes.
From the moment Bo Yi walked onto the red carpet to the moment he entered the stadium, the fans’ screams shook the sky.
After the awards ceremony, it was time for the routine media interviews.
“Your box office performance this time was very good. What are your plans next?”
“Next, I will focus on honing my acting skills and try to perform better in my next production.” Bo Yi smiled modestly, causing everyone to have a good impression of him.
“Bo Yi, are you really in a relationship with Xia Wanyuan?” A reporter from a famous gossip magazine squeezed forward.
