Chapter 355: I have to give my sister a push
"Dear sister Xi, have you been eavesdropping? How come you have this hobby..."
Nian was not surprised by Xi's arrival. He closed his folding fan, gently placed it against his chin, raised the corners of his mouth and said teasingly, his tone full of teasing.
"I'm not like you, who likes to gossip about others behind their backs. And your messy and unkempt room is really unsightly. If Sister Shu sees this, she will definitely give you a lecture."
Facing Nian's teasing, Xi was not polite and directly retorted. She was cold and seldom communicated with outsiders, but when she argued with Nian, her words were poisonous and accurate.
"Haha... your studio is similar to mine. There are crumpled papers, spilled paint, and hanging silk everywhere... If it weren't for Miss Li helping you clean up, you would still be sleeping on that bed full of paintings."
"You... you know nothing. Sometimes when I get the mood, I concentrate on painting, and dozens of days go by in the blink of an eye. It's normal to have no time to clean up. Anyway, I can restore the tidiness with a stroke of the brush."
Xi felt a little broken-hearted after being ruthlessly exposed by Nian in front of others.
She justified her lazy behavior in the painting by saying that she was immersed in artistic creation. She really didn't clean and tidy the room herself. If it was dirty and messy, she couldn't stand it and just painted a new one.
"Yes, yes... my dear sister, Roy is still here today, so I won't continue to expose your embarrassing stories." Seeing that his sister was a little anxious, Nian smiled and waved his hand, no longer arguing with her about this issue.
As a sister, I should always give in to my younger sister. As a family, the most important thing is to be harmonious.
"I made a small item for you. See if you like it. If you like it, take it back and use it. If you don't like it, I can modify it and help send it to the painting." Nian nodded slightly and motioned Xi to take a look at the newly made side table.
In Nian's vision, there would be no situation where he could not send something, and he would always find a way to get something to his sister.
When Ximei habitually puts her painting tools on the side table, those random things that appear will surely bring her enough surprises.
"Your design this time is unexpectedly good. It doesn't adopt those weird styles." Xi walked closer to the side table, looked at it carefully, and then stretched out her fingertips to touch the table top. The wood was warm and delicate, and the curves were soft and smooth. She was quite satisfied.
"After all, it's specially prepared for you, so of course I have to put some effort into it. If you like it, take it back and use it." There was a glimmer of pride in the depths of Nian's crimson eyes, and he urged Xi to accept it.
"That...Xi, that side table..." Roy knew that Nian was teasing Xi on purpose, and wanted to remind him. But Nian interrupted him at lightning speed, and winked at him quickly.
Roy understood what she meant and held back the rest of the sentence.
"Sister, Roy accidentally sat on the side table just now. I hope you don't mind."
"Side tables are used to place things. It's okay if someone sits on them. After you take them back, just wipe them clean and let them dry."
"But when did your relationship become so good?" Xi frowned slightly, looking back and forth between the two. When she just walked out of the painting, she noticed the two people sitting on a sofa.
That guy was wearing revealing clothes, which was bad enough, but he also leaned on Roy so carelessly.
"During the time you were hiding in the painting, I helped Roy a lot. Sister, you have to work hard." Nian used an almost provocative tone, trying to arouse his sister's competitive spirit.
Xi is a cold and slow person, and she can't do without someone giving her a push.
"Boring, I just want to remind you to pay attention to your behavior and not bring trouble to Roy. I'm going back..." Xi's face was calm, she raised her hand, and a cloud of black smoke wrapped around the side table and followed her.
The hazy and ethereal figure gradually disappeared in the unfolding painting, leaving only a faint scent of ink in the air.
"Nian, can't you be serious? You always find ways to tease Xi. If she causes trouble for you later, don't ask me for help." Roy felt helpless about Nian's behavior of deliberately teasing his sister.
"Oh, we two sisters have been quarreling for so many years. If I don't take the initiative to bother her, she will suffocate in the world of the painting and won't come out for hundreds of years. If you have time, you can go in and bother her."
"Forget it. She likes quietness. I'd better not disturb her, or she will chase her out."
"Don't worry, I know her, she won't do that." Nian patted his chest and assured Roy confidently.
"Pay attention to her reaction before she leaves. Even though she may seem nonchalant, she is actually already getting mad. Just wait, she will come looking for you soon..."
"...I think that once she finds out something fishy about that side table, she will definitely come after you."
"Not always."
......
"You're back, Xi. Would you like to have a bite of the snacks I just made?" Li in the world of the painting felt the return of the owner of the scroll, picked up the tray, and slowly walked into the studio where that person often stayed.
I saw the figure sitting cross-legged, with one hand supporting his chin and the other holding a paintbrush.
The tip of the pen was suspended above the pure white silk cloth, but it took a long time for the pen to be put down. The ink dripped and spread into a chaotic mess.
The painter was in a state of confusion at the moment and wanted to relieve his boredom by painting, but he didn't know where to start.
"I don't want to eat it, you can eat it yourself." Xi refused in a low voice without even turning her head.
"How can I eat so much by myself? Come on, have a bite, it tastes pretty good."
Li tiptoed over with the snacks in his hand and gently placed the tray on the side table Xi had just brought back. The moment he placed it on the table, the tray and the snacks disappeared right under Li's eyes.
Instead, there is an unfinished painting with a lot of blank space.
"Oh my, what's going on? Xi, this painting is..." Li exclaimed in surprise when the snacks were replaced by a scroll, and then asked in confusion.
In the painting, a man holds a pitch-black sword, facing a huge beast as big as a mountain alone, showing no fear. Strong winds, thunder, heavy rain... cannot shake that tall and upright figure, as if he wants to fight against the gods alone.
"Isn't this Mr. Roy?" Li recognized the person in the scroll. Although it was just a back view, the pair of horns as straight as swords and the long tail were still quite recognizable.
"No, I just drew it casually, it was all Nian's doing." The unfinished product that was originally hidden deep in the scroll was openly displayed in front of Li. Xi couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry, her ears felt hot, and she snatched it away and put it away.
Last time, the second brother came and summoned the shadow of the year beast to test Roy's strength. Watching that battle aroused the fear hidden deep in his consciousness, and Xi couldn't rest well for several days.
In order to find peace of mind, Xi painted this picture and hung it where he could see it above the bed, and finally he was able to sleep peacefully.
This kind of thing shouldn't be known to other people, as it might cause misunderstanding. Obviously, Li has misunderstood.
Her eyes were subtle and complex, and even contained a hint of relief.
"Xi, you don't have to explain, I can understand."
"What did you understand? It's not what you think!"
