Chapter 440 Her Work!
Mu Yan pointed to the painting in front of her and said, "Mr. Ning, I think this one is pretty good."But there was no response beside her; when she looked to the side, there was no one there.
She glanced around and only then noticed that Ning Shishen had unknowingly walked ahead.
He was standing with his head tilted up, looking at the painting in front of him, his expression seeming somewhat wistful.
Mu Yan was somewhat surprised and walked over, following his gaze, she saw a painting of blooming sunflowers.
This painting... seemed somewhat familiar.
Her eyes fell on the signature in the bottom right corner, her pupils slightly constricted.
"Senior, Mu Yan, there you are, I’ve been looking for you for so long." Liu Yun’s voice came from behind.
Mu Yan turned her head and nodded at her.
Liu Yun moved closer, seeing Ning Shishen staring at the sunflowers, somewhat surprised, she gave Mu Yan an inquiring look.
Mu Yan shook her head at her, and she understood.
Liu Yun asked, "Senior, are you interested in this painting?"
Ning Shishen nodded slightly towards her, "It’s a very lively painting, I like it a lot."
Liu Yun smiled, "Nuanyang’s paintings are famous for their vitality and aura, she..."
"Are you alumni?" Mu Yan suddenly interrupted her.
Liu Yun glanced at Mu Yan and nodded, "Yeah, Senior Ning is five years ahead of me."
"Then how did you meet?"
"Once, Senior came back to school for a lecture, and that’s how we met," Liu Yun explained.
"That’s quite a coincidence." Mu Yan smiled slightly and looked at Ning Shishen, "Mr. Ning, I just saw a painting over there that wasn’t bad, would you like to take a look?"
"No." Ning Shishen’s gaze was fixed on the sunflowers in front of him, "I want this one."
Mu Yan’s eyes flickered, but she said nothing.
Liu Yun glanced at her and said to Ning Shishen, "Sorry, Senior, but this is not for sale."
Ning Shishen frowned, "Why not sell it?"
"I borrowed it from a friend, it’s for exhibition only, not for sale."
Disappointment appeared in Ning Shishen’s eyes, "Is that so?"
Mu Yan saw that he really wanted this painting and consoled him, "I think the other paintings are better than this one."
Ning Shishen shook his head, "No matter how good the other paintings are, they’re not what I want."
Of all the paintings here, the only one that touched him was this one.
Mu Yan pursed her lips, saying nothing, her gaze falling on the painting.
As the years passed by looking at her own work, she couldn’t recall the mood when she created this painting.
Even the name Nuanyang seemed so unfamiliar to her.
The situation reached a stalemate, so Liu Yun could only say, "Senior, let’s go and look at other paintings."
Ning Shishen nodded, "Alright."
Today was Liu Yun’s opening night, and if he kept fixating on someone else’s work, it would be embarrassing for her.
Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and accompanied Ning Shishen and Mu Yan to continue admiring the art.
With Liu Yun, the original artist, there, Mu Yan felt at ease and wandered around happily.
In the end, Ning Shishen bought only one painting, and Mu Yan also took one to show her support.
While Ning Shishen went to make a phone call, Liu Yun asked Mu Yan, "Why don’t you let my senior know you’re the original artist?"
"Since I’ve already stopped painting, why bring trouble to myself?" Mu Yan said calmly.
Liu Yun understood her mindset; after the fall of a genius, the last thing they want is for others to bring up their once-glorious past.
The more brilliant they were back then, the more desolate they feel now.
Liu Yun teased, "Did you and my senior arrange to come together?"
She had read rumors about the two of them online and knew that they knew each other.
Mu Yan immediately denied, "Of course not, it’s just a coincidence."
Liu Yun chuckled, "But when many coincidences line up, that’s fate. Let me tell you secretly, my senior loves sunflowers, and you’re best at painting sunflowers. Don’t you think you two are a match made in heaven?!"
