I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"Sir, I don't know how to describe it, I'm just a layman in painting, but when I look at this famous painting, I always feel that the people in this painting are struggling, and the pain and the dark and oppressive atmosphere can It is very clear that it is torn and three-dimensional like fragments and dreams..."

Li Yan looked at this painting quietly, and for some unknown reason, when he looked at this painting, he could feel the emotions that he wanted to express more and more, and said, "Although I have a brief understanding of "Gate" in history books Ernica" seems to be an abstract work of the tragedy of the Spanish War, but, for some reason, after reading it, I have a sense of desire to live a better life."

After listening quietly, the English old man showed a kind smile. Although he looked old, he seemed to be in good spirits. He looked at the oil painting and said with a smile: "Thank you, this is a good explanation. There is never a standard answer for appreciating paintings. Everyone has their own past and values. I can also see Mr. Picasso's paintings clearly. Thank you very much, young gentleman..."

He squinted his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face became more intense, but his eyes were bright and piercing, and he asked: "This is a good art museum, there are many works by Master Picasso and Master Mondrian, all of which are It is a treasure of human civilization, young gentleman, do you like art? I may take the liberty to ask you… Art, what is your opinion on art?”

"..."

Faced with such a complex and huge question, Li Yan didn't know how to answer for a while.He didn't dare to make a random comment on this old man who seemed to know how to appreciate art works, but it would be disrespectful to say that he didn't know. After all, he also came to the art museum. If ordinary people didn't like these works of art, what would they do? will come to this place.

He is a light novel writer, and works like light novels are not even literature in Japan. Can he really talk about the concept of art?

After being silent for a while, he still decided to answer the old man's question and said, "I don't actually understand the concept of art. It should be said that art is the condensation of human emotions. The existence of art is the expression of human emotions. The works that are born, whether it is literature, painting, sculpture, etc., if there is no emotion to give life, I don’t think it is a work of art…”

He looked at this modern abstract work, stood at the end of this gallery, and then said: "Art is a work that we humans endow with value, if we appreciate not human, there is no value, but these works With the traces and emotions of the times, I can also feel it... My personal opinion is that the concept of art should not be deified too much. I also think that art is the spirit that is retained by the bits and pieces of life. ."

Li Yan recalled Zhenbai in his memory and said, "Actually, I am also writing... Although what I write may never be studied by others, and my friends are also creators, I have not experienced anything in art. We are all creators, so I still think that art, or creation, is the touch found in people's life. Art that is separated from life will only continue to consume her beautiful emotions about limited life. , I still think from the beginning to the end... Art is a kind of life, and should not take away the creator's dream and new life... Not even love."

Li Yan's elaboration seems to have poured out his experience and injustice towards Shiina Shinshiro, and he has already fallen into his own world, explaining his understanding to the old man.

"..." The white-haired old man's slit-like eyes looked at him quietly.

"...Uh! Sorry, didn't I say something rude?" Li Yan responded apologetically and asked.

"No...you're right, life...is an oil painting that we spent our whole life creating, and we didn't really complete this work until we left this world...it's just that not everyone is good at expressing That's it."

The British old man fell silent and seemed to have a feeling.

The old man raised his head and looked at Li Yan, showing an amiable smile, and said, "Young man, it seems that I am getting old... I have a very precious painting, and many years ago, I planned to start working on a blank canvas. I painted it, but I didn't dare to add a color to this drawing board in my life... But now I plan to let the painting paint itself with beautiful colors..."

Li Yan seemed to have heard some details from the old man's words, and he looked at the old man in surprise.

"Every time my granddaughter's art exhibition, I will come to participate... After all, she is my granddaughter who was brought up by me, and is more important than my life... I am a painter, I spend my life painting, I don't learn anything else, just learn It's just how to observe a person with your own eyes... Mr. Li Yan, I will trouble you from now on, bring her back to Japan to live... That child really chose to grow up, and I'm looking forward to her no longer being tied to a bird cage , she can learn more from you, from her friends."

The old man asked in a gentle tone. He looked at Picasso's paintings with squinting old eyes. He seemed to be really old, but he had a pair of eyes that knew how to appreciate paintings better than anyone else.

The gray sky began to drizzle.

Located on the outskirts of London, in a foggy forest, there is a huge manor house. In the diffuse water mist, it is like roaming in a fairy tale world. A black car drove into the iron gate of the manor and parked steadily in the garden. Outside the street.

Lonely manor, like the world is gray.

After Li Yan, Ying Lili and Qingshan Qihai got off the special car arranged by the British old man, they came to this place where Shiina Mashiro grew up...

A forest, river, flowers, manor like a castle.

Li Yan was drenched in the drizzle. With mixed feelings, he and the other two girls walked into the lush green temperate forest. The light was very dim. They were walking in the quiet forest path. Finally, in a Outside the beautiful mansion, in front of the aiHaku cherry tree where all the white cherry blossoms were about to fall, Li Yan and others found the figure of the girl who "disappeared"...

Shiina Mashiro carried her umbrella, turned her back to them, and looked at the tree with few cherry blossoms left alone.

The ticking rain was a bit noisy, but she suddenly heard someone calling, her body trembled slightly, and the whole person stood there in a daze, turned around, and in the rainy season, with the visitors from afar met.

Between heaven and earth, the wind of longing blows on everyone's body, the longing that keeps emerging, so warm, even if they are separated from each other so far, but the heart has never left...

Shinshiro's astonished eyes flashed three figures.

Her umbrella suddenly flew away.

Her entire body was covered in mud and raindrops on her clothes when she was running away. She grabbed Li Yan's clothes tightly with her hands and rested her head on his chest. Qi Hai and Ying Li Li showed their delight. A smile surrounded him.

"Watson... We're here to bring you back."

In the manor surrounded by trees, he crossed an ocean and chased after him. As Sherlock Holmes, Li Yan finally told him these words to the assistant lady who was taken away by his family...

Chapter 193 Shinshiro and "The Old Thief" (Volume Ending)

On the outskirts of London, in a beautiful manor surrounded by forest.

——[Go back, go back to the place that made her nostalgic. 】

"..."

As soon as she heard Li Yan's words, Shiina Shinshiro suddenly had this echoing voice in her heart, her body trembled slightly, but immediately, she let go of Li Yan's hand, lowered her head slightly, and closed it. eyes, shook his head.

"Eh?"

"?!"

Everyone including Li Yan was stunned for a while, looking at Shiina Shinshiro with surprise and puzzlement.

Shiina Mashiro's long golden hair was covered with crystal clear water droplets, she raised her head slightly and said, "No... Now, I can't go back."

However, when she finally found the real Shiro, the girl refused to go back.

"Why? Your grandfather has given you permission to go back to Japan. Shiina, you can continue your manga dreams. No one has the right to deprive a person of a reasonable dream." Li Yan looked at Zhenbai with a surprised expression and asked. road.

The drizzle, in the woods, revealed an elusive silence, and the wet leaves were dripping with water droplets. Shiina Mashiro stood in such a quiet manor courtyard, she said, "I'm back, I plan to convince my parents."

Li Yan, Qingshan Qihai and Ying Lili were all slightly stunned.

It has been about five days since she came back here, but there is not a day when she is not thinking about returning to the place where she lives.Home is very warm, but home does not understand her. Before she is understood, she wants to continue to find her own life, which is why she wants to go back.

Every day after I came back, I looked at the white cherry tree planted by my father in the yard. In Tokyo, there are many such cherry blossoms. She likes cherry blossoms, and she also likes the days with friends under the cherry blossoms.Her parents have been living overseas, sometimes in Sweden, sometimes in Germany, sometimes in Austria and Spain, and the only one who raised her was her grandfather in the UK, and that's how she grew up with her grandfather and painting.

Just like a pet girl who is fostered at home, she doesn't know anything, and she lives carefree like this.
