Chapter 2036 (Two Thousand and Thirty Six) Growing Up
Tie Jinjue looked at the review book in his hand and thought: Jin Qi, you have seen it all, you should be able to see it all at a glance here.
Then, he looked at those paintings quietly, as if he saw at a glance the years that had passed away in a hurry.
He thought about the things behind those paintings, and felt that seeing them was like watching Tie Hongyan's growth.
Those paintings are like recorders of time, allowing those who have experienced it to look at them and feel as if they can see the passing years again.
He took another look at the review book that Tie Hongyan had seen when he was a child, and thought: Sister, Hongyan has grown up like this. In such a cruel environment, she not only survived, but she grew up without becoming cruel, cold, or insensitive. No matter how dark the environment is, she still believes in light and ideals. No matter how difficult the road is, she remains perseverant and moves forward bravely. So I feel that I am worthy of you.
Tie Jinjue sat on the bed and put the review book on the bed. Looking at the paintings, he thought: If possible, I would like to teach her to draw more paintings. If time does not allow, leaving these paintings would actually be okay. Pretty good. You know, I'm looking at these paintings right now, and I'm thinking of my mother laying out those paintings she drew on our bed when we were kids. At that time, we often watched my mother paint, and my mother often painted with Aunt Ao. Aunt Ao was much younger than my mother, but the two of them treated each other as sisters. I remember that at first you always wanted to call Aunt Ao "sister". Aunt Ao has been learning painting from my mother. I remember that Aunt Ao’s painting style is very similar to my mother’s. Later, Hongyan met Ao Gong, Aunt Ao's son, and saw Ao Gong's paintings. His painting style was very similar to Ao Gong's.
Tie Jinjue picked up another review book and thought: Sister, have you seen this review book? Ao Gong's house was on fire, and Hongyan found this review book from the ruins. This is the review book I lost a long time ago, and Hongyan actually got it back later!
Tie Jinjue pointed to the review book that Tie Hongyan had brought back and thought: Sister, look, these few fine scratches on the back of this review book are the patterns I made intentionally before. At that time, you and I both had review journals. I couldn't distinguish mine from yours, so I deliberately drew this pattern on it.
The review book that Tie Hongyan found from the ruins originally belonged to Tie Jinjue, but Tie Jinjue couldn't find it back then. In fact, it was dropped not far from his home. Ao Xuanhe, Ao Gong's mother, happened to pick it up back then. She didn't expect it to belong to Tie Jinjue, and she didn't know who dropped it there. She asked some people but no one claimed it. Seeing that the review book looked really nice, I thought it would be a good idea to take it back as a decoration at home, so I took it back and never threw it away. She never knew that the review mirror had magical functions. Later, Ao Gong didn't know what it was used for, but he thought it looked pretty, so he kept it in his residence. Therefore, before Ao Gong personally set fire to his house to create an illusion, he did not think of the review book or take it away. At that time, the review book was placed with some other unimportant furnishings. It is precisely because of this that Tie Hongyan was able to find it from the ruins later and brought it back to Tie Jinjue. This retrospective review finally returned to Tie Jinjue's hands many years later. (End of chapter)
