Chapter 520: A Little Talented Girl
Gu Hanye unfolded the crumpled drawing and saw that it was an unfinished painting. It looked like he was planning to paint a sea, a very familiar scene.
Su Jiuyao sat up, hugged her knees, and looked depressed.
"I was going to give it to you as a gift, but I messed it up."
Gu Hanye remembered that when he was in Jiangcheng, he gave Jiuyao a necklace and a jewelry box. At that time, Jiuyao said that she would give him a gift in return, but it would take some time.
Some time ago, she went to the calligraphy and painting market to buy some things. He didn't ask in detail. Now seeing the picture frames piled by the wall and the paintings in the room, Gu Hanye understood.
Jiuyao was going to draw a picture for him personally. She didn't want him to enter the room last night, probably because she was afraid that he would see it in advance.
However, none of the drawings visible in the room seemed to be intact.
"Isn't it finished yet?"
She shook her head. "I finished it, but I accidentally ruined it. I wanted to redraw it, but it's not good enough."
"Which painting was it that was originally intended for me?"
She raised her hand and pointed at the silk cloth on the easel that she had cut.
Gu Hanye stood up, walked to the easel, picked up the hanging silk cloth, and pieced it together with the previous one.
A vast blue sea, exactly the same seascape where he had taken her to see.
This is clearly an excellent painting.
He was not proficient in painting, especially silk painting, and he did not have many in his collection, but it could be seen that Jiuyao painted very well.
The colors are natural and the composition is reasonable and appropriate.
On the vast sea, birds spread their wings and soar, and nearby waves surge and hit the cliffs and rocks. In Jiuyao's pen, every grain of sand is handled in great detail, with both movement and stillness.
Looking at this painting, Gu Hanye felt calm.
Why destroy such a good work?
"I like this painting very much, why did you cut it?"
Su Jiuyao walked to the easel, pointed to a surging wave, and told Gu Hanye that it was about to be framed, but she found that the color here was not applied well, so she wanted to modify it. As a result, her hands were shaking, and the more she repaired it, the worse it became.
She tried to repaint it, but it was not as good as the original.
The most important thing is that this is the first time she gave her painting to Gu Hanye. She really wanted to show him her painting skills and hoped to get his appreciation.
But because his hands were weak, his paintings became worse and worse, and he would destroy the paintings when he got angry.
Su Jiuyao said gloomily: "I could have drawn very well..."
After hearing this, Gu Hanye felt both happy and distressed. He pulled Jiuyao into his arms and said, "Of course I know. My wife is a talented girl."
Jiuyao never cared about how he viewed her before, but now, she hopes to get his appreciation and recognition. This is a manifestation of her care for him and keeping him in her heart.
After a while, Gu Hanye asked, "But why do you want to paint this landscape?"
"Didn't you say that when you're feeling down, you'll go over there to look at the sea and relax? I wanted to draw it for you and put it in the study so that when you're feeling down, you can still see it without having to go there. It'll save you from being followed and assassinated again..."
Gu Hanye couldn't help but laugh and said, "Silly boy, I won't make the same mistake twice."
But Gu Hanye was very touched by Jiuyao's kindness and kissed her cheek. "I like this gift very much. Thank you, baby."
Su Jiuyao raised her eyes, looked at him with a gentle expression, and said with a pout, "What a pity it's gone."
"No," he picked up Jiuyao and put her on the sofa: "Wait for me."
