Chapter 379 The Strange Painting



Masterpieces Exhibition Hall.

Upon entering the sealed-off area, Zhang Yunling continued her explanation without any further ado: "The exhibition hall next door features works by students from our school's art department. At the time, everyone thought the staff had put them in the wrong place, but after asking around, everyone said they weren't theirs."

Just as I reached the entrance, a commotion suddenly erupted from there.

"Please let me in..."

"Excuse me, student, the exhibition hall is currently closed off. Please contact your advisor if you need anything."

"Then why were those people able to—my girlfriend was inside, I just went in for a moment, and they took her away immediately?"

The staff member patiently explained, "The principal and several teachers are here to handle some matters, so of course you can go in. Young man, all the irrelevant people in the exhibition hall have been cleared out. Why don't you go look for your girlfriend elsewhere?"

The boy in the thin hoodie looked inside anxiously, his gaze full of unease and worry. After a while, realizing he couldn't get in, he frowned and left.

The little incident did not affect them.

Yan Chiyu asked Zhang Yunling, "Where is that painting?"

"I'll take you there."

The strange painting that Zhang Yunling mentioned was currently placed next to Rembrandt's oil painting "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Thurs".

"Dr. Dulpe's Anatomy Lessons" depicts Dr. Jan Dulpe, the most renowned surgeon in Amsterdam, Netherlands at the time.

Rembrandt, who had studied portraiture, accurately captured the subtle expressions of his employer, Dr. Tulp, which greatly pleased him.

The success of this portrait, "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Thurs," made Rembrandt an instant celebrity in Amsterdam and established his unshakeable position in the art world.

As Zhang Yunling stopped, her companions also stopped and looked in the direction Zhang Yunling was pointing.

What came into view was a portrait of a woman. The girl, wearing a fisherman's hat, stood on a bridge after the rain had cleared. The wind blew her green skirt, like lotus leaves shimmering and floating in a summer lake.

This painting looks fresh and natural, quite out of place with the other paintings in the exhibition hall.

To verify Zhang Yunling's statement, Yan Chiyu instructed Tiezhu to move the easel from its original position to the doorway.

This painting...

Wu Yue's gaze narrowed slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

After Tiezhu returned.

Zhang Yunling and the others were no longer curious about the painting, but rather about the adorable little paper figure.

“Chi Yu, your paper doll… is really quite intelligent.”

"Yes, it's very useful for running errands and such."

Tie Zhu glared angrily at the female teacher who claimed to be a gofer.

What the heck!

How could he be a errand boy?! He's clearly his master's prized assistant. He's the one who does everything – fetching things, carrying people, delivering packages – isn't that what he does?

He's clearly just a paper doll, thank you!

Hahahaha

[Iron Pillar is so cute, I'm taking him home~]

[The official images of Tie Zhuzi and Cuihua's merchandise have just been released, I love them!]

"Little Wu Yue," Zhang Yunling leaned closer to Wu Yue and whispered, "Can I add you on WeChat?"

The principal of Jinghua University wants to add me on WeChat... I doubt anyone would believe that.

Wu Yue naturally wouldn't refuse his kindness and immediately took out her phone to scan the QR code.

The two had just added each other on WeChat when Yan Chiyu's gaze swept over them. He glanced at Zhang Yunling with a half-smile, while Principal Zhang pretended to be calm and put her phone back in her pocket, acting as if nothing had happened.

Then, the boy said quietly, "Old Zhang, the painting is behind you."

A chill ran from the soles of Zhang Yunling's feet straight to his head, and he immediately felt his hair stand on end and his legs go weak.

I didn't dare look back at all, afraid of seeing something terrifying.
