Xi Wan said bluntly, âYouâre asking when you already know the answer.â
Zhou Yue was speechless but she still said, âThis meaning refers to the authorâs new work, âLiving till Deathâ. As for the meaning of this painting, it is about the various locks in this world that bound people into dolls that could not walk. The spring water and fish below represent the clearest ideal in the authorâs heart. Unfortunately, they were trapped in black water and could never be realized.â
Lu Zhouâs face turned red.
She really didnât have much insight of the paintings. Yesterday, she had also crammed at the last minute and secretly memorized a few pieces of analysis. She didnât expect to make a mistake!
She was so embarrassed. If she had known earlier, she would have listened to her brother and not invited Xi Wan to the art exhibition!
Xi Wan held Lu Zhouâs hand and asked, âIs that so?â
Zhou Yue laughed coldly and said, âThis painting has been around for eight years. Many masters have a profound understanding of it. Among them, Master Hui Kongâs understanding is the most widely circulated. If you donât even know this, why are you still here to watch the art exhibition?â
Xi Wan couldnât help but feel a little sympathetic, âSo you also memorized a masterâs analysis. Seeing how skilled you are, you must have memorized it for a long time.â
Zhou Yue was stunned.
Xi Wan continued, âCompared to what you said, I think this painting is more like fish in troubled waters.â
Zhou Yue and Lu Zhou were stunned. âFish in troubled waters?â
âWasnât the author in high school at that time? He probably wanted to skip class, right? Unfortunately, he didnât manage to do so.â Xi Wan said and her was tone filled with pity.
âWho has such an opinion?â Zhou Yue was anxious.â Itâs clearly like what Master Hui Kong saidâ¦â
Did the author tell you that?â Xi Wan interrupted her.
Zhou Yue swallowed her unfinished words.
Xi Wan said, âMiss Zhou Yue, everyone has their own unique understanding of this painting. You donât have to use other peopleâs words to raise your own value and belittle others. Such behavior will only make you look very vulgar, just like how you appeared in this art exhibitionâ¦â
âWhat?â
Xi Wan said word by word, âUseless.â
She held Lu Zhouâs hand and said, âLetâs leave so that we wonât be despised by others again.â

Zhou Yue was so angry and she was extremely furious. She did not notice a person in sportswear passing by her. It was a young man wearing a baseball cap.
The young man walked to the corner and said to the security guard, âGet that woman out of here. Donât allow such a guest to appear in my art exhibition in the future.
The security guard knew that person he was talking about was Zhou Yue.
But in the next second, the young man laughed inexplicably and said to himself, âThat girl is quite cute.â
The security guardâs shoulders trembled. He did not know which girl he was talking about this time. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Artistsâ brains didnât seem to be normal.
After Xi Wan and Lu Zhou left the art exhibition, Lu Zhou apologized, âIâm sorry. If I knew this would happen, I wouldnât have asked you out.â
âItâs okay. Just treat it as a distraction.â Xi Wan did not blame Lu Zhou.
âBut letâs go to a disco since weâre already out! What do you think?â Lu Zhouâs eyes lit up. It wasnât easy for her to come out with Xi Wan, so she wasnât going to let her go back so easily!
âWill your brother allow you to go to that kind of place?â Xi Wan asked in surprise.
âOf course! Iâm already an adult!â Lu Zhou proudly puffed out her chest.
âOkay then, letâs go.â
Xi Wan rarely went disco dancing because she felt that the environment at the bar was a little noisy. However, it was a good place to go there occasionally to let loose and relax.
As soon as Xi Wan and Lu Zhou entered the bar, Xi Wan received a call from
Chen Tong. âMadam, what should I prepare for dinner tonight?â
âYou can make the preparations. I probably wonât be going back.â Xi Wan walked in as she spoke. The heavy metal music reached Chen Tongâs ears through the phone.
She was shocked.
Oh heavens! Where was Madam now?
The music was too loud. Xi Wan was not sure if Chen Tong had said anything, so she said, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up first.â
After saying that, the call was cut off.
Chen Tong listened to the busy tone on the phone and felt a chill in her heart.
However, she kept comforting herself that Mr. Su usually came back very late anyway. It would be fine as long as Madam came back before Mr. Su arrived home.
However, this kind of comfort had the opposite effect. Not only did Su Xun come back early, but he even came back earlier than usual. Chen Tong: âI must have committed a sin in my previous life!â
