Behind Gu De and Germain, Old Saipan heard the conversation between Gu De and Germain and focused his eyes on the gargoyle mask on the wall.
Inexplicably, he could feel himself being drawn to the gargoyle mask.
I have never felt this way before. This gargoyle mask is so beautiful and has a fatal attraction.
Wryyyyyyy~
The crowd continued to move forward.
Gude looked around.
This is actually an art exhibition hall with many works of art on display.
No matter that many of the display cases are now empty, they look like they have been moved away and there is nothing inside.
what.
As Germain said, this is an art gallery that has not been maintained for some time, or is about to be closed due to the economic downturn.
Soon we arrived at the stairs leading to the second floor.
Standing at the bottom of this staircase, I feel relaxed now.
It’s different from the western-style mansion that Lu Xin and Bai Nainai experienced. That place was surreal, while this place is more real.
Just like the Thinker sculpture wouldn't look up at them, this staircase would most likely not send them to the second floor with a whoosh like the flying ladder did before.
"Click~"
Accompanied by a soft sound.
"Meow~" Nanhua called.
When he turned around, he saw Nanhua falling to the ground.
It must be that he didn't stand firmly when jumping up the stairs just now and fell down.
"Ah, are the stairs still too hard for you?"
With a concerned look on his face, Germain walked forward and picked up the little black cat: "It would be better if the steps here were made flatter, lower, and wider, so that you could climb up easily."
Normal cats can climb stairs, but Nanhua is relatively small, so it is a bit difficult for her to jump up the stairs.
If Germain hadn't said it, he wouldn't have noticed that the stairs in this space at this point in time were short and flat, more suitable for people to walk on. They were not like the wide and long stairs in another surreal space.
Thinking of this, Gu De looked at Nanhua, who was meowing in Germain's arms, and said subconsciously: "If only this staircase could fly and take us to the second floor in an instant."
"Wow, Dio, you can really say some surprising things." Julie looked at Gu De with surprise.
"Yeah, I've never thought about it this way. If the stairs can really fly, then Nanhua can be sent to the second floor very easily, right?" Germain said to Nanhua gently.
The little black cat curled up in Germain's arms tilted its head slightly, with a gleam in its eyes as if thinking about what Germain said.
Germain's eyes were full of enthusiasm and excitement, and there was a hint of anticipation and longing between his brows. His eyes radiated bright light.
, as if endless energy was surging.
"First, there's the Thinker statue that looks at everyone without noticing, and then there's the staircase that takes you to the second floor like flying!"
Germain was excited, his cheeks flushed, revealing his surging emotions. His eyebrows were slightly raised, his hands were clenched into fists, and his fingers trembled unconsciously: "If we can make this place look like this, everything will be in time!"
"German? German! Calm down, German." Julie pulled German and shouted.
Germain came back to his senses with a start. He raised his head and held his forehead. "Sorry, I'm too excited. Sculptures that can look at people and stairs that can fly, if these things exist, they can only exist in fairy tales, right?"
Germain smiled apologetically at Gu De: "Dio, I let you see my loss of composure, but the idea you expressed is indeed shocking, or you are more suitable to manage this place than me."
"Human ability has its limits. I have learned one thing from my short life. The more I play tricks, the more I will find that human ability has its limits, unless I surpass humans."
Gu De patted Germain on the shoulder and said, "So relax, my old friend. There is still painting where you can give full play to your imagination, right?"
"Draw... draw?" Germain seemed to have thought of something, and there was an unconcealable gleam in his eyes.
"Yeah, actually, you just need to open your mind and think. The more incredible the ideas are, the more creative they are. It's very interesting to break the rules, isn't it?"
While they were talking, Gu De, Germain and others had already walked up the stairs and reached the second floor.
The corridor is still the same corridor.
However, this time was different from the magnificent scene on the second floor that Gu De had experienced before.
The walls were empty, without a single painting.
Just a plain corridor.
"There were supposed to be some paintings hanging here, but many of them were painted by me."
As if noticing Gu De's gaze, Germain raised his hand and stroked the dusty wall: "I once wanted to invite some famous painters and art masters to hang their paintings here. This would definitely be very attractive."
Germain became more and more excited as he spoke.
“This way, guests can enjoy the art while walking through this corridor.
By the way, just like what you just said about breaking the routine, Dio, if the things in the painting can jump out as the guests move forward, appearing in front of the guests and showing the dynamics of the painting, that would be a wonderful thing!"
Julie smiled helplessly: "Jermain, what are you talking about? How can such a thing be possible?"
"Great idea." Gu De responded.
But if they really appear, it would be scary.
By then it won’t be an art gallery anymore, but a house of horrors, right?
"Dior also said it was a great idea, Julie, we should break the rules."
"That should be more realistic."
……
When Germaine and Julie started bickering.
Gu De lowered his head and looked at Nanhua.
The little black kitten sat on the ground obediently.
It looks like
Listen very carefully.
Chapter 93 The Last Painting
Wait until Julie and Germain's quarrel is almost over.
Gu De walked forward and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Jermain, how did you and Nanhua know each other? Can I ask about Nanhua's background?"
Gu was somewhat curious about Xiao Nanhua's origins.
This cat feels...very spiritual.
"of course can."
Germain squatted down and rubbed Nanhua's little head.
"You mean Nanhua? I met Nanhua when this art gallery was still open, but when I saw she looked hungry and dirty when she entered the gallery, I brought her back."
"Yes, Master Germain is very kind. He adopted Nanhua against other people's advice." Old Saipan said with a smile.
"What kindness? I just want something to keep me company. After all, I am so absorbed in my paintings that I always say some weird things, making others think I am a weirdo.
I can talk to Nanhua about many things without worrying that she will dislike me. Rather than saying that I helped her, it’s better to say that she helped me.”
Julie blinked. She was originally angry about Germain's nonsense, but after hearing what Germain said, she was not so angry anymore.
She also knew Germain's character a long time ago.
Germain scratched his face and looked at Gu De: "So it's not bad to have a friend like you."
Gu De's eyes flashed.
From what I heard, Germain can confirm that there is no such person as Gu Dio?
Did he always know?
"After all, I am also a weirdo, right?" Gu De smiled and was not nervous.
My brother's face is thicker than the city wall.
The other party mentioned it but didn't say it out loud, which means they are getting along well at the moment.
Friends, friends.
Aren’t we just friends now?
"Indeed, Dio, you always say surprising things."
Julie covered her mouth and smiled: "That's why you and Germain get along so well."
"But Nanhua has a hidden disease because she was wandering outside before. As a result, no matter how much she eats, she can't gain weight. She still looks so small."
Germain lowered his eyes slightly and stared at Nanhua: "And her appetite has become a little poor recently. She...has always been with me, and I have become accustomed to her presence."
Nanhua: “Meow~”
Gu's heart moved.
Just now, I had a conversation with Germain.
He found that Germain was not as dull as he thought, but an extremely sharp person.
Are all artists so sensitive?
And it sounds like Nanhua...may not be able to hold on for too long?
"German..."
Julie bit her lip and took Germain's arm: "I will stay with you."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's keep going forward."
Germain patted Julie's hand that was holding his, indicating that he was fine: "The painting I drew is in the innermost room on the second floor."
Germain raised his eyes and looked at Gu De: "When the time comes, please ask Dio to appreciate it carefully."
Gu De followed and walked past each room, looking at the dilapidated state inside, feeling mixed emotions.
Is such a large art exhibition hall going to be abandoned eventually?
Soon, we arrived at the innermost room on the second floor.
This place is also different from the time when Gu De, Lu Xin and Bai Nainai experienced this room.
At that time, there seemed to be only a lonely canvas stand, and the surrounding area was dirty and messy.
Now it looks very clean.
The room is full of warmth and artistic atmosphere. The sunlight shines through the window into the spacious and bright room, making everything more gorgeous. There are several exquisite paintings hanging on the wall, each of which is full of vitality and the artist's inspiration.
In another corner, there is a special place built for a lovely cat. Made of soft blankets and cozy pillows, it is placed next to the window, through which the sun shines, creating a warm corner for the cat to sleep.
Every corner of the room has been carefully arranged and cleaned, making people feel peaceful and comfortable. The air is filled with a faint floral scent, and several pots of blooming flowers are placed on the windowsill, embellishing the beauty of the room.
The whole room exudes a warm and calm atmosphere, making people feel peaceful and relaxed.
In a corner of the room, there is a well-designed canvas stand. On this canvas stand is a black cloth covering the painting inside. Next to it is a box of oil paints and a palette of various colors, which exude a faint fragrance.
There are some daily necessities placed around the canvas stand, each of which has its specific position. On a bookshelf, several art-related books are neatly arranged, which are the source of inspiration and treasure house of knowledge for artists. A soft sofa is against the wall, equipped with soft lighting, allowing people to read and relax comfortably.
"This place looks like it has been maintained?" Gu De said after observing the surroundings.
"Yes, Germain comes here every other day. He doesn't even stay at home. He insists on painting here."
Julie smiled helplessly: "I don't know how to describe him."
Germain touched his nose and said, "I don't know why, but I can only calm down here. I will always come here, and I want to spend the last days with Nanhua."
Gu De blinked.
Just as he thought.
Nanhua, the little black cat, looks so thin that she won't be able to hold on for much longer.
Gu De walked to the cat bed in the corner and asked, "Is this Nanhua's home?"
This cat bed is really nice.
It made Gu think of building a nest for Fendan.
