Chapter 100



Shi Xi wrote a handwritten letter to Mr. Lu in Xi Guang's handwriting that day, which sparked a heated discussion on the Internet. This time, no one questioned the value of Xi Guang's paintings.

Mr. Lu's handwritten letter affirmed Xi Guang's paintings. On the one hand, it gave a strong slap in the face to the rumormongers, and on the other hand, it once again raised Xi Guang's value.

When people mention Xi Guang in the future, they will think of the evaluation of the master of traditional Chinese painting: compelling and inspiring.

Countless interview invitations came in like snowflakes, but Shi Xi rejected them all.

The media had no choice but to turn to the Crescent Gallery for interviews, but the gallery manager only answered questions about the paintings and exhibitions, and refused to answer any personal questions about Xi Guang.

People could only guess one thing from Mr. Lu’s handwritten letter—Xi Guang seemed very young.

This makes Xi Guang's image even more mysterious, and everyone is guessing the true identity of this talented painter who suddenly emerged.

Some people say Xi Guang is a girl because her painting style is delicate and romantic. Some people say Xi Guang is proficient in metaphysics because her early paintings contain high-level talismans certified by Taoist masters. Some people say Xi Guang looks good. Some people say Xi Guang is the boss behind the Crescent Gallery...

No matter what the outside world says, Xi Guang has never responded. She has nearly three million followers on Weibo, but there are no new updates, and she is as quiet as a zombie account.

In mid-November, Crescent Gallery officially announced a piece of news.

[Xi Guang's solo exhibition "Xi and Guang" is being prepared and will open on December 7 (heavy snow). Tickets are free for this exhibition and the reservation system will be open on the 20th. ]

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Xi Guang has been a hot topic recently. The more mysterious she is, the more talked-about she becomes.

All parties are paying attention to Xi Guang's personal painting exhibition, because the name Xi Guang itself is a miracle, and everyone is looking forward to seeing her create new miracles.

As soon as the Crescent Gallery officially announced, #Xi Guang will hold a solo painting exhibition# became a hot topic without spending any money on publicity.

[The price of one of Xiguang's paintings is definitely more than 30 million now, collectors must be eager to buy it. ]

[He just appeared at an exhibition of works by emerging artists not long ago, and now his solo exhibition is about to open. Xiguang is very active. 】

[I just want to know whether "Different Paths" and "Endgame" will be on display.]

[So many people want to see Xiguang's solo exhibition, I'm worried that I won't be able to make an appointment. ]

[If I can make an appointment, I will definitely fly over to see it. ]

[Someone revealed that Actor Lu paid 70 million to buy "Different Paths" and "Ending". If these two paintings are also exhibited, Xi Guang's exhibition turnover should be shockingly high, and it may even set a record! ]

At the end of November, Shi Xi asked for a day off from the crew and returned to Wuyou Temple to preside over Xiguang's funeral.

There were not many people attending the funeral, they were all family members.

Xiguang's tombstone stands next to Zhang Qingyu's tombstone.

Shi Xi placed the flowers in front of the grave, and Xi Guang, who was standing under the shade of the tree, had a bouquet of flowers in his hands. He was wearing the new shirt that Shi Xi had burned for him, holding the flowers, like a student attending a graduation ceremony.

"It feels so strange to attend my own funeral." Xiguang said embarrassedly.

"Haha, I tried it too," Zhang Qingyu stood next to him and pointed at his own tombstone and said, "That's my tombstone."

Zhang Qingyu turned his finger and pointed to the other side: "That is my master's tombstone. We are neighbors now. The descendants of Wuyou Temple will come to sweep and pay tribute in the future."

Xiguang was still not used to face-to-face communication. After every word he spoke, his head drooped even lower and he pressed his pale hands on his chest. His heart had stopped beating, but at this moment he felt that his empty heart was filled.

Xiguang blinked his moist eyes and whispered, "With a tomb, it feels like... it feels like I have found a place to stay."

Be it misfortune or regret, the wandering soul of this life has found a home at this moment.

Looking into the distance, the sunset dyes the clouds and mountains red, the birds return to their nests, and everything looks beautiful.

On the day of heavy snow, Xiguang's solo painting exhibition opened as scheduled.

The reservations had been fully booked long ago, and the opening ceremony was hosted by Jiang Tong personally. Mr. Lu wrote a congratulatory message for Xiguang, which was displayed in a conspicuous window.

Someone joked that just for Mr. Lu's calligraphy, they should also go to see Xi Guang's exhibition.

There are a total of ten paintings on display in this exhibition. "Different Paths" and "Endgame" are paintings from the movie series that have been made public. "Swimming Fish" is the real finale of this exhibition. The other seven paintings are Shi Xi's recent works, and each one is carefully selected.

On the opening day of the exhibition, the internet was filled with news about Xi Guang, and the popularity was alarmingly high.

#Lu Xiu attended the Xiguang Painting Exhibition#, #Song Zhenbao appeared in a low-key manner at the Xiguang Painting Exhibition#, #Lu Liangcheng Master's Calligraphy#, and #Collector Wen Ning appeared at the Xiguang Painting Exhibition# have successively become hot searches.

Shi Xi arrived before the exhibition hall closed. She walked slowly through the exhibition hall. Although there were only ten paintings on display, the exhibition hall was decorated with a great atmosphere, and each painting was the protagonist.

She stood in front of Xiguang's "Swimming Fish", listening to the whispered praises around her, and asked Xiguang in her heart: "Do you like this exhibition hall?"

Xiguang choked up and said, "I like it."

That night, Lu Xiu posted a photo of a painting on Weibo: "I like it very much."

What he posted was not a painting from the Muse series, but a portrait titled "Shadow".

The woman in the painting is wearing a cheongsam and is standing in the fog. Her face can be vaguely seen. She is enchanting and beautiful, and unforgettable at first sight.

This painting naturally became popular. Some people thought the woman in the painting looked familiar and found photos of Lin Ying for comparison. They speculated that this talented actor who had a short-lived fame many years ago was the prototype of "Shadow".

Lin Ying's film works have attracted everyone's attention, and her images have become must-cut materials in the beauty zone.

At that time, Lin Ying was sitting on the sofa, exhaling a puff of smoke faintly: "I didn't expect that even though I've become a ghost, I can still rely on my beauty to make a name for myself."

Shi Xi pursed his lips and smiled: "Today someone offered 40 million to buy this painting."

Lin Ying nodded: "This price is barely worthy of my beauty."

After the exhibition, there have been collectors who want to buy paintings. The most asked questions are about "Abyss" and "Light" created by Shi Xi. The highest bid has reached 50 million for one painting.

There is a not-for-sale label on the front of "Swimming Fish", which also attracted a lot of people's attention.

Someone recognized that "Swimming Fish" had appeared at an auction and was later bought by Jiang Tong. Now it appeared in Xi Guang's exhibition. The style of painting seems to be the same as Xi Guang's, but it has a different temperament. Moreover, this is the only painting without Xi Guang's seal.

The origin of this painting became confusing and full of stories, and the result was... everyone became more interested.

Before I knew it, Muse had been filming for more than two months. During this time, Shi Xi was busy with filming and art exhibitions. Occasionally, he also had to deal with the troubles caused by "Xia Junyan". He was busy like a top.

There will be no filming tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The exhibition is going smoothly and Shi Xi is not in a hurry to sell his paintings, so he finally has some free time.

Shi Xi plans to stay at home for two days.

The next day, as soon as she returned home, she received a message from Jiaming.

"Hour, I received a commission to exorcise an evil spirit. After careful consideration, I plan to resume the broadcast tonight!"

"Brother Ji said he wanted to be a guest in the live broadcast room, I think that's fine."

"Are you free? Can you come?"

It was the long-awaited ghost-hunting live broadcast! Shi Xi thought about it and decisively gave up the plan to stay at home for two days, and replied: "Send me the time and place."
