"Father Bai, Father Anan!"

Two small figures nimbly weaved through the crowd to Bai Hao and Qin Nan's side, while Murong Xue, holding a milk tea, squeezed over as well.

Murong Xue glanced at the person who had fallen, her eyebrows curving into a smile. "Brother Qin, Brother Bai, what happened? Did someone stage an accident? This isn't even a designated cycling area, and you almost got hit by a car. Tsk tsk, the cyclist isn't very bright, is he blind, or can't he see people?"

"Murong Xue!" The woman who had fallen was helped up, and the woman next to her glared angrily at Murong Xue.

Murong Xue: "Oh my, I was wondering who was so blind, turns out it's a turtle and a dog!"

"You..." The woman was about to speak when she was stopped.

The woman who fell didn't look too good either, but she forced a smile and said, "So you're Miss Murong's friend. I'm sorry, let's go."

The group reluctantly left with the woman, and the boy who had stepped forward first was also helped away. Those who knew Murong Xue greeted him as they left, while the others chatted animatedly about their departure.

Qin Nan realized that everyone has a gossipy nature.

Murong Xue proudly tossed her hair, looking at Chi Wei and Pi Yuan, "How about that, isn't your sister amazing!"

"Mmm!" The two little ones nodded in admiration.

Qin Nan was both amused and exasperated, but it sounded like Murong Xue knew those people.

Bai Hao: "Why turtles and dogs?"

Bai Hao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, which surprised Qin Nan and Murong Xue. Was this what Bai Hao was focusing on?

Bai Hao knew Murong Xue's and those people's identities, and he also knew about their past grievances. However, Murong Xue had been cursing him without ever explaining, so Bai Hao asked her why he didn't understand.

Murong Xue thought for a moment, "Her name is Tang Zhen. She's a complete fake. She's had countless boyfriends, and she's always cheating on them. I used to call her a green-haired turtle, but then I found out she's a thousand-year-old turtle spirit. The one next to her is called Lin Yuan. She's just a lapdog following Tang Zhen around. Come to think of it, I seem to have offended a dog by comparing her to a dog. Tsk tsk, I need to think of a new word!"

Qin Nan: "......"

Qin Nan looked at Murong Xue, who was seriously thinking, as well as Bai Hao, who nodded knowingly, and Chi Wei and Pi Yuan, and felt a headache coming on.

Qin Nan: "By the way, Luo Yang and the others didn't come with you? They didn't come here?"

Murong Xue was slightly disappointed upon hearing this. "Mo Shan's family moved away. After Luo Yang recovered from his injury, he passed the national team preliminaries and went to closed training. I don't know what happened to Liang Shan's family. He applied for a leave of absence from school, and I can't contact him. Lin Shaoan was arranged by his parents to study abroad. He had a meal with me before leaving. Now I'm the only one left."

Qin Nan: "You don't have any plans?"

Murong Xue: "Me? I don't have any ideals. I just like to eat and play. My parents made me study international trade and economics. I just like playing games and singing. I also do live streaming, and I get quite a bit of tips."

Besides, if all else fails, I'll just sponge off my parents. After all, I'm a rich kid; eating, drinking, and having fun are my job. As long as I behave myself, don't cause trouble, and live a peaceful life as a pampered young lady, that's fine!

Qin Nan was speechless. It was a simple and unpretentious idea, but it wasn't something that just anyone could realize!

After chatting for a while, Murong Xue continued to have fun with Chi Wei and Pi Yuan. After all, it was a rare opportunity to come out, and the amusement facilities here were quite complete. It was a good chance for her to let the two little ones broaden their horizons and have a great time.

Bai Hao then led Qin Nan to the Hundred Schools Exhibition Hall.

After Murong Xue's explanation, Qin Nan learned that the art exhibition was open to the public and could be attended by purchasing tickets. However, the ticket prices were ridiculously high. If they couldn't even afford the tickets, they would certainly not be able to afford the paintings. Those who could afford the paintings didn't care about the ticket price.

Qin Nan also quite likes art exhibitions because the exhibition halls, like libraries, are very quiet and calming. However, he doesn't really have a talent for it, and even appreciating art is a bit difficult for him, but that doesn't affect his ability to simply watch.

In front of Hall 5, a row of display stands introduced many painters. Qin Nan recognized a few of them; they were several highly respected artists. Among them was an old man whom Qin Nan had seen when he was a child, but he had only seen him arguing with his father and then leaving in anger.

But his father had told him that the grandfather was a respectable person.

Chen Yuqing, a national-level painting master, was 89 years old at the time.

Qin Nan smiled as he looked at the old man with a stern face on the display stand. He had previously looked for him in magazines and newspapers because of his father's words.

He was an extremely passionate art lover, and was obsessed with it throughout his life. He was a rigid and fair person, but he had a bad temper. However, he was highly respected, and paintings that he critiqued sold for extremely high prices. Of course, he didn't critique paintings easily, and he wouldn't waste time even glancing at ordinary paintings.

Bai Hao looked thoughtfully at Chen Yuqing's portrait. Indeed, there were some things and people he didn't know, only a blurry figure.

When Bai Hao learned about He Yan's affairs before, it was the same person. Bai Hao recognized that the scene was the Qin family's old house, so this matter should be related to Qin Nan, or rather, Qin Nan's father, Qin An.

Bai Hao thought back to Qin Nan's memory of being afraid of ghosts. Qin Nan herself probably didn't remember it. Bai Hao was very curious about the person who made Qin Nan forget. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be Qin Nan's mother.

Bai Hao thought about what opportunities he could have to learn more, mainly to take advantage of the situation, with the past being a secondary consideration. Besides, since kissing could reveal fragments of the past, what if...?

Wouldn't that mean we could know everything from the past, or even the past that Qin Nan didn't know? But it's a long and arduous journey, and we don't know when we'll be able to get our hands on it!

Qin Nan was unaware of what Bai Hao was thinking. Seeing that Bai Hao was somewhat dazed, she led him into the exhibition hall. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a warm breeze. After passing through security, the two began to walk and look at the paintings from one of the gallery corridors.

The first-floor art exhibition focused on portraits, with no restrictions on the type of paintings. Qin Nan looked at the realistic sketches, the beautiful freehand brushwork, and the heavy oil paintings. The people in the paintings were either quiet, laughing, or sleeping peacefully. Qin Nan didn't understand this, so she just glanced at them. Bai Hao, on the other hand, watched Qin Nan the whole way, pondering his strategy.

The first floor was uninteresting, but the second floor featured a landscape exhibition, which Qin Nan preferred. He pulled Bai Hao up to the second floor, and Bai Hao pulled Qin Nan along, leading him through a winding path to an exhibition area where many people were looking at the paintings. Qin Nan glanced at the description on the display stand next to him—Wang Zhe!

Qin Nan turned to Bai Hao in confusion, "That newly famous painter?"

Bai Hao: "You'll find out when you go inside."

Qin Nan and Bai Hao, having half-queued, went over and saw the framed painting hanging on the wall. Qin Nan was stunned when she saw the painting in the very center of the wall.
