Chapter 248 Another "Zhou Jingmo", another ending

Ji Ning rubbed against his arms, resting her face on his chest, feeling the warmth, afraid that it would be fleeting.

Zhou Jingmo rubbed the top of her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't leave."

The next day, Pei Qingrong came with Academician Zeng.

Zhou Jingmo hadn't seen Academician Zeng for some time. When he saw him, he didn't dare to recognize him for a moment.

Although Academician Zeng was old before, he always looked much younger than his actual age because he exercised a lot and had an active mind.

But I have aged a lot recently, my hair has turned all white, and my eyebrows have turned white too.

"You are..." Zhou Jingmo asked in surprise.

Academician Zeng smiled, with a compassionate look like a Buddha, "I just experienced life and death, how can you still care about me?"

Ji Ning carefully peeled several apples and handed the best-looking one to Academician Zeng, "Academician Zeng, thank you for taking care of my husband before."

She smiled sweetly. Although she had experienced so much, her eyes were still clear, with a kind of innocence that was worldly-wise but not worldly-wise.

Academician Zeng took it, looked at Ji Ning, raised the apple in his hand, and said meaningfully, "This is the best gift."

Zhou Jingmo seemed to understand something vaguely, and clenched his hands on the bed sheet.

Academician Zeng stared at Zhou Jingmo intently for a while, "You have passed the critical moment of death, there is no problem..."

Pei Qingrong jumped three feet high in surprise.

Before he became an adult, he still liked some childish things. Since he became an adult, he no longer showed his emotions on his face, and he rarely failed to be so happy.

The corners of his mouth formed a big arc that stretched to the back of his ears.

Zhou Jingmo asked unwillingly, "But didn't you sentence me to death before? You said I would definitely die."

Academician Zeng raised his lips and said, "The past was the past, and the present is the present."

He said meaningfully, "You have a good wife, you must cherish her."

Zhou Jingmo nodded and held Ji Ning's hand tightly. He knew, he had always known.

A few days later, news came that Academician Zeng had passed away.

At the funeral, Zhou Jingmo had not fully recovered yet, but he still went to the funeral in person, dressed in black and following all the etiquette.

Academician Zeng had no children, so he wore mourning clothes for Academician Zeng just like a son, and also wore a white flower on his chest.

A lot of people came to the funeral, all of them were big names in the industry. Although Academician Zeng had a bit of a weird personality, he was really talented and had a good reputation in the industry. Generally, geniuses have some quirks.

Pei Qingrong opened his lips, as if he understood something, but didn't understand it completely. "Do you think Academician Zeng is..."

Zhou Jingmo: “I’m not sure either, but I believe that Academician Zeng gave me another chance.”

Ji Ning also vaguely guessed something, and together with Zhou Jingmo, they knelt down and kowtowed in front of Academician Zeng's portrait.

Academician Zeng’s black and white portrait shows him smiling kindly and with satisfaction.

Many people came to the funeral.

Many unfamiliar young people knelt down and kowtowed to Academician Zeng.

"who are you?"

"I am the son of Academician Zeng."

"I am the daughter of Academician Zeng."

Pei Qingrong was puzzled. Academician Zeng was a strange man who had always lived alone. He had never even heard of having a wife, let alone a son or daughter.

How could this be?

After their repeated questioning, I finally managed to get the information out of him.

It turns out that these are children adopted by a Grandma Ke.

"Grandma Ke?" Pei Qingrong concentrated on thinking, this name sounded so familiar.

Zhou Jingmo pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, but then he came up with something, "Ke Xiu Na."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Pei Qingrong remembered. He was in a hurry to find Academician Zeng again, so he went in without knocking. He found that Academician Zeng's room was full of portraits, all of which had the name "Ke Xiu Na" written on them.

But before that, Pei Qingrong had only seen Academician Zeng paint birds, beasts, insects, and fish. This was the first time he saw Academician Zeng paint people, and the ink paintings were so lifelike.

Pei Qingrong was still asking questions in surprise at the time. When he saw Pei Qingrong suddenly rush in, Academician Zeng got very angry and drove him out.

"Ke Xiu Na?" Ji Ning tilted her head.

Pei Qingrong: "You know that too?"

"Ke Xiuna was a very famous painter, but unfortunately, when she was alive, people did not understand her paintings. It was not until she died that people discovered the mystery of her paintings, and the value of her paintings has risen sharply."

"She paints in all kinds of styles, but the most valuable one is..." Ji Ning vaguely remembered in later life that she had the honor of seeing Teacher Ke's work once. The elegant young man was fishing by the fish pond and was suddenly discovered. He looked back and was panicked when he was caught, and his face flushed red.

Teacher Ke Xiu Na’s paintings are very lifelike, but the boy is the most vivid and lifelike, as if he had walked out of the painting.

Many people offered high prices for this painting, and it was sold at an extremely high price at the time. However, Ko Xiu Na had instructed before her death that all other paintings could be sold, but this one absolutely could not be sold. It could only be kept for exhibitions, and could only be seen after her death.

Her adopted daughter and son kept their promise and did not sell the painting, but just held the exhibition for her.

Ji Ning suddenly said, "Can you show me that painting?"

The adopted sons and daughters looked at each other. This was Grandma Ke’s secret, and they didn’t know how Ji Ning knew about this painting.

After thinking it over, the mother only told them not to sell it, but didn't say they couldn't show it to other people.

Grandma Ke lived a frugal and poor life. She lived in a tube-shaped building similar to the one Academician Zeng lived in, except that one was in the east of the city and the other was in the west, a long distance apart.

When they entered the house, the three were surprised to find that the two people had very similar tastes.

From the calligraphy and paintings in the room to the decorations and furnishings, there is an unspoken tacit understanding.

Someone with such a soul sympathy lives so far away.

Yuecheng is not big, but not small either, so we may not have many chances to meet each other.

When Pei Qingrong saw the young man painted by Ke Xiu Na as he wished, he was also amazed. This eyebrow, this unique unruly, arrogant and unruly, this is clearly...

Pei Qingrong said confidently, "Yes, this is Academician Zeng when he was young!"

"so……"

Ji Ning looked at the painting silently, but her heart ached.

Painting is another language.

The painting is enough to reveal her true heart.

This painting was not displayed behind a layer of glass in an exhibition hall, but now she could see it with her own eyes. At such a close distance, she could clearly see the boy's eyebrows in the painting, which were all drawn by Grandma Ke stroke by stroke. Even the slightly upturned arc of the brow clearly showed the boy's personality.

She is so meticulous and attentive, could it be...
