Chapter 42: Jin Yuan is so bold!

Gu Qingnan was a little curious: "I heard that some portraits can be painted exactly like the real person, just like they were taken by a camera. I don't know if it's true or not."

Zhao Jianan was not very clear why Gu Si changed his mind and was unwilling to let Lingxi meet Jin Yuan, but he was very happy to help.

He continued with Gu Qingnan's words: "It should be possible, I heard that the Public Security Bureau has such an expert.

But I'm not very familiar with this circle, so you'll have to ask Comrade Jin Yuan. I think her paintings are all very good, but I don't know if they are real people."

The countryside at that time was poor and backward.

Most of the houses are adobe and thatched. The dirt roads become muddy when it rains. Crops are planted in the private plots in front of and behind the houses. Occasionally, there are chickens and geese wandering around in groups of three or two looking for food.

The villagers were wearing gray clothes with patches on top of patches. It was okay for those who loved cleanliness, but for some who didn't, the collars and cuffs of the clothes were shiny black.

When Jin Yuan arrived in the village, he really didn't feel comfortable anywhere. He was afraid of stepping on something when he went out.

These days, except for Zhao Jianan, the former Capital University celebrity, Jin Yuan was not averse to contacting him, but she wanted to stay as far away from other people as possible.

It's not that she looks down on country people, but the way these people don't care about people and things really challenges her aesthetic taste.

At this moment, she met Gu Qingnan, a man of above-average appearance, neatly dressed, and with a sense of boundaries in his speech. Jin Yuan had a rare feeling of facing people of the same age in the city, and she was also happy to say a few more words.

At this time, she was proud to hear Zhao Jianan talking about her works, and nodded: "You have seen it, they are all real people. I like to look at good-looking people. When I meet good-looking people, I like to draw them.

The one you are talking about is the one owned by the cloth shop owner, what a pity."

She sighed with some regret.

While they were talking, several people walked up to Gu Si and the others.

However, at this time Lingxi was leaning on Gu Si, covering most of her face, and the straw hat hanging around her neck covered the other half, making it impossible to see anything.

But, just looking at her figure and her hands, you can tell that she is a great beauty.

Gu Qingnan and Zhao Jianan made eyes at each other, and he took the initiative to talk to Pei Xuan: "You are the elder brother of my fourth brother's wife, right? I am..."

Without waiting for them to say anything else, Pei Fuzhu, who was walking in front, pulled Pei Furui to slow down and joined the group chat: "Pei Xuan, what are you guys talking about? It's so lively."

She glanced at Gu Qingnan intentionally or unintentionally, then looked at Lingxi who was sitting in the back seat of Gu Si, feeling a little sour.

Everyone walked along the way on foot, but she was special and stood out.

Gu Qingnan just happened to meet Pei Fuzhu's eyes. Being looked at by such a bright and beautiful woman with such a reproachful gaze, Gu Qingnan shuddered and subconsciously avoided her and moved closer to Zhao Jianan, moving away from Pei Fuzhu, and this time closer to Jin Yuan.

Pei Fuzhu: "..."

!!!

Her expression froze for a moment.

She rolled her eyes, and without making a sound, she acted as if she had sprained her ankle. She bent her knees, reached out and grabbed Gu Qingnan's arm, then quickly let go, as if she had just given him a helping hand.

"I'm sorry, the ground was uneven just now and I sprained my ankle."

Gu Qingnan blushed a little and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

Pei Fuzhu was very satisfied with Gu Qingnan's reaction. She raised her chin proudly and glanced at Jin Yuan.

Then the next moment, she didn't know what she was thinking of, her expression changed again and again, and she quickly distanced herself from Gu Qingnan, and soon walked away.

"What is she here for?" Jin Yuan was very confused.

Those who didn't know the truth looked at each other in confusion.

Gu Si looked at Pei Xuan meaningfully, and he said it!

I just don't understand why Pei Bok Joo looks like she clearly wants to assert her sovereignty but is afraid of being contaminated.

Pei Xuan: “…”

He just felt a toothache, ugh, so sad.

Gu Si winked at Zhao Jianan, indicating that he could start.

Zhao Jianan: “…”

He calmly talked to Jin Yuan.

"You just said it was a pity, but what's a pity? The painting is really beautiful! It's just too beautiful. I've never seen anything so...beautiful." Zhao Jianan pondered for a long time but still couldn't find any good adjectives. Handsome, beautiful, these didn't seem to be appropriate.

Jin Yuan's attention was instantly diverted, and she became very excited when talking about the handsome men she collected.

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too.

Ah, if I could meet such a handsome guy, I would definitely marry him, so it’s a pity.”

Those rough guys she went on blind dates with were instantly crushed when compared to him.

Lingxi was drowsy, and suddenly heard Zhao Jianan saying something about painting or not. She shook her head to wake herself up.

Then she heard Jin Yuan talking about whether to get married or not. Lingxi blinked and woke up in fright.

what!
Who to marry?

She swallowed and subconsciously wanted to find Gu Si to confirm.

Gu Si was startled and the handlebars tilted a little. He quickly steadied himself, held the handlebars with one hand, and used his free hand to pat the little girl's hand soothingly.

Jin Yuan is so bold!

He gestured to Zhao Jianan behind his back, asking him not to bring Jin Yuan too close, and then he pulled Lingxi's straw hat to make sure her face was covered.

Jin Yuan must not be allowed to see Lingxi's face.

otherwise……

It’s frustrating just thinking about it.

Zhao Jianan: “…”

!!!

Pei Xuan noticed something: "..."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and waited until Zhao Jianan and the others had moved a little further away before he looked at Gu Si with a smile, as if asking him to give an explanation.

Gu Si: “…”

Gu Si motioned Pei Xuan to listen to it himself.

Pei Xuan didn't understand why, and just happened to hear Jin Yuan say with some regret: "That was a copy I made from an old photo collected by my aunt, it only has the shape but not the spirit.

I have never met a real person, so I can’t grasp the charm, and it lacks some flavor.”

Gu Si tapped the handlebars with his fingers in a rhythmical pattern to make sure Zhao Jianan could see it.

Zhao Jianan: “…”

Fine!

He followed Gu Si's meaning and continued the conversation as if jokingly, but the content was directed to Jin's aunt: "From what I saw, the scene was probably before the founding of the People's Republic of China. That person is not suitable for you. You can ask your aunt if she has any nephews or nieces. They might be about your age!

If this is true, your marriage problem can be solved directly, and you don’t have to hide in our village anymore.”

Jin Yuan waved his hands and laughed, "No, no, I didn't dare to ask. I watched it secretly. My aunt hid it very well. I didn't dare to ask at all."

Zhao Jianan subconsciously looked at Gu Si, thinking that he would not be able to ask anything else.

Gu Si tapped his fingers lightly, indicating that it was okay and let him go play by himself.

Zhao Jianan: “…”

Just throw it away after use!

Pei Xuan combined what he had heard before with what he saw, and then looked at Lingxi's face which was deliberately covered, and looked at Gu Si in disbelief.

Gu Si nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

Pei Xuan: “…”

!!!

Pei Xuan's pupils trembled.
-
The market was very lively, with stalls all along the entire street and a bustling crowd of people.
