Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 499 The Commoner Teacher at the Noble Academy 14

Who wouldn't miss their younger self, especially with memories filled with laughter and tears?

Painful memories, viewed from the past and now, can be considered precious treasures.

quickly,

The new painting replaced the original portrait and was hung in the drawing room.

Zhuo Xuan hadn't thought of this at all, while Zhuo's mother wanted to make the most of the compensation and fairness. Since the painting with the younger son had been hanging for more than ten years, the older son should also receive the same one.

Moreover, Xia Youmi's painting skills seem to have improved again, and the portraits are very exquisite.

Both of Zhuo's parents were strikingly beautiful in their youth, but due to technological limitations, the photographs taken at that time lacked precision. Furthermore, even if paintings from that era survived, they could not be perfectly preserved.

Wei Youzhen was a discerning person; the materials, frames, and canvases Xia Youmi used were not high-quality items that were easily damaged.

The cost of purchasing raw materials alone is not small.

Even with today's advanced imaging technology capable of creating something from nothing, it's still difficult to achieve the same vividness as what the naked eye sees. This painting, however, is like a scene of their happy and sweet youth, enhanced with artistic embellishment, possessing an even more vibrant life force than what is seen directly.

That's the special effect brought about by the storytelling.

Wei Youzhen's eyes secretly reddened. It was highly unlikely that Xia Youmi had any feelings for the couple. However, if her feelings were also intertwined with her imagination of her own parents and her boundless longing for them, then everything could be explained.

Teacher Chai was also drawn in, unable to look away for a long time.

When she looked at Xia Youmi again, the other woman smiled and picked up her tea, radiating a gentle light that was no longer the conventional sense of grace.

Rather, it is the confidence that one has control over one's spirit, life, and everything else.

she thinks,

This painting also expresses that she has come out of her shell and has been reborn.

This adds a beautiful separator to the various emotions expressed in Xia Youmi's paintings that Wei Youzhen had shown her before, such as frustration, phototropism, and longing for freedom.

She will embrace a new path in life with her complete self.

in the living room,

What Zhuo Xuan saw was a beautiful painting of young parents.

Zhuo Yi saw that You Mi was comforting his childhood self.

Zhuo's father saw the simple happiness amidst the past struggles.

Zhuo's mother saw the injustice between the brothers, her keen emotions, Youmi's dedication, and her longing for her biological parents.

What Teacher Chai saw was Xia Youmi announcing her rebirth. With superb skills and insight into human nature, she entered the scene with confidence, declaring that she was a player, not an appendage.

Each had their own perspective, and while they stole the spotlight slightly, it was only at a small family dinner, representing respect and solemnity.

In the end, everyone was happy.

......

Many people couldn't sleep that night, especially when Zhuo's mother quietly talked to Zhuo's father about the significance of their eldest son. They realized that Zhuo Yi, who was excellent, sensible, and seemed to be able to overcome everything, had such emotions in private and was willing to show them to his true love.

I felt both gratified and inevitably felt guilty.

Zhuo Yi held Xia Youmi tightly, wanting to shed a few tears, but worried that it would ruin his image tomorrow.

after all,

This marks the first time she has appeared in public with her daughter, Youmi, since their marriage.

She's in such good shape; if the person standing next to her isn't in a good position, it feels like it would diminish her brilliance.

Zhuo Yi would not allow anyone to say he was unworthy.

the next day,

Zhuo Yi was more attentive than usual when it came to the formal makeup and styling. They had a total of three outfits: a formal suit for greeting guests, an outfit for the opening dance, and a formal evening gown for the banquet.

It was custom-made according to Xia Youmi and Zhuo Yi's measurements, and the details will reflect that they are a pair, which also leaves room for the stylist to make modifications.

Fortunately, the two have a good foundation and a very high degree of cooperation.

There were no chaotic scenes that overwhelmed the stylists.

They even had the leisure to let the two review the opening dance, which quietly amazed those around them.

However, the fact that private photography was not allowed throughout the banquet was a great disappointment to outsiders.

In the afternoon,

As the number of guests gradually increased, even Zhuo Xuan's reception space was crowded with her friends. Gu Cheng and Tan Yu even left their mother and sister, who needed to spend a lot of energy on makeup and styling, to meet up with Zhuo Xuan first.

They naturally hit it off quickly and weren't bored at all.

Younger people who weren't so familiar with the host could listen quietly, and Tan Yu and Gu Cheng would occasionally check on their feelings, asking if they wanted any tea or snacks. They were even more attentive than the host, Zhuo Xuan.

This is quite common; both brothers only have one son, so they bear a heavy responsibility.

Zhuo Xuan has always had his older brother to take care of him since he was a child, so he can run away very quickly if he doesn't want to do something.

With her brothers helping her with matters at the academy, Zhuo Xuan had even fewer opportunities to hone her skills in interpersonal relationships.

Although he understood, he didn't grasp it thoroughly enough.

"coming!"

"Who?" Tan Yu asked in confusion, wondering why one of the banquet hosts, who had seemed a bit distracted, had suddenly become so enthusiastic.

"classmate."

"Which student is this? You know Gu Cheng, right?"

"I know."

"How did you know!" Now it was Zhuo Xuan's turn to be surprised.

"Anyone can see through your little scheme," Gu Cheng retorted, speechless.

"What's wrong with that!" Zhuo Xuan was a little confused. He loosened his tie, wanting to have a proper argument with the person.

"You should go pick them up first," Gu Cheng said, picking up his teacup and casually glancing at the entrance to the banquet hall.

"I!"

"Go ahead, Gu Cheng and I will keep an eye on things here for you! We'll interrogate you properly later." Tan Yu pushed the person out, eager to get the details from Gu Cheng alone.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"know."

After receiving Gu Cheng's assurance, Zhuo Xuan straightened her clothes and slowly appeared in the center of the banquet hall.

"What a peacock!"

"It's a rare sight, quite interesting."

Xia Youmi upstairs also saw it, and Shan Xin smiled as she came with the senior who had discovered and encouraged her to study at Jiyu.

but,

Compared to being led into a small circle by the male protagonist, the female protagonist clearly had another main purpose. She followed her seniors and greeted the masters, and soon, as if it had been arranged in advance, she was led to the garden.

The male lead is still waiting for the female lead to greet him.

result,

They just watched helplessly as the other person followed an old man to see Teacher Chai.

Zhuo Xuan didn't care how rare it was to see Teacher Chai, nor did she care that with so many people in the venue, very few could actually be brought along.

He just sulked to himself.

They practically stared a hole through Shan Xinxiao's back.

At this moment, Zhuo Xuan would definitely be laughed at if he went back to his friends' area. Zhuo Xuan was also in a bad mood. He casually agreed to his mother's suggestion and led a few newly arrived female juniors of the same age to the painting that he originally wanted to show to Shan Xin.

Compared to her unapproachable demeanor at the academy, Zhuo Xuan now exudes youthful spirit.

Although he was focused on Shan Xinxiao, he didn't forget to answer the questions raised here.

"Which master?"

"She's my sister-in-law, and she's quite capable too."
