The lecture will be held at Risson University, a top art university in France. This school has trained many outstanding painters in the art world.

Gu Yanxi put on a white slim-fitting suit in advance, and accompanied by Shirley, they came to Ruisen University.

Ruisen University often invites well-known experts in the art world to give lectures. Although Gu Jianyi is not a well-known expert, he is the youngest outstanding painter.

In particular, she has many fans in France, and her painting style is deeply loved by young people.

The person who invited her to give a lecture was an old professor here named Marion.

Marion had arranged everything in advance, and Gu Yanxi arrived at the classroom where the lecture was to be given at the specified time according to Marion's instructions.

When she went there, it was packed with people.

Gu Yanxi never had stage fright on such occasions. After going to the podium and briefly introducing himself, he started his speech in fluent French.

"Thank you all for coming to my lecture. I saw a few familiar faces. If I guessed correctly, they should be friends who have participated in my offline art exhibition..."

As she said this, she glanced across the audience and suddenly noticed a person sitting in the corner.

He was a very strange man, wearing a black coat, with the lowered brim of his hat almost covering his entire face.

Unlike other young faces, this man had an aura that was incompatible with the atmosphere here.

Gu Yanxi's eyes lingered deliberately as she glanced over him. She felt familiar for some reason, but the other person clearly didn't show any identifiable features at all. She couldn't see the other person's irrelevant features at all, so why did she feel familiar?

The content of the speech was compact and did not allow her to be distracted from thinking about other things.

Until the lecture came to an end, the strange man sitting in the corner never raised his head once.

"I have a painting here that has never been made public. If the person who is called can choose the name of this painting from three options, he can take this painting from me as a reward for answering the question correctly."

Gu Yanxi took out a framed painting from his bag and showed it to everyone with the frame. Then he turned around and wrote three names on the blackboard.

Professor Marion, who was sitting in the front row, looked at her in confusion as he watched her move.

In the original plan, there was no such link.

This link was indeed Gu Yanxi's whim.

After she wrote the three names on the blackboard, she looked at the eager students in the audience, but then her eyes fell on the mysterious man in the corner.

Gu Yanxi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in that direction, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. sitting in the corner, please guess the name of this painting."

Under the gaze of everyone, the mysterious man stood up.

His head, which had not been raised, finally did.

Therefore, the face hidden under the brim of the hat was finally revealed.

The face that was nearly fifty years old had subtle wrinkles, and there were even some white hairs on the temples. The man's beard was neatly trimmed, and his sharp eyes were looking at Gu Yanxi at the moment, but there was a trace of traces of... Come smile.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar voice belonging to Liu Jianyuan sounded in the classroom.

"I guess the name of this painting is "Glimmer"."

Gu Yanxi's pupils shrank slightly.

She held up the painting in confusion and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

In the end, it was Liu Jianyuan who spoke first to break the silence.

"Am I right?"

Only then did Gu Yanxi's sculptural movements waver.

She returned to her normal smile, "Yes, the name of this painting is Shimmer."

……

"I'll get the painting."

Liu Jianyuan just stood in front of the podium where he received the oil paintings. His gleaming eyes made it impossible to see his emotions.

Behind him, the students were packing up their things and dispersed.

Gu Yanxi couldn't believe that Liu Jianyuan's appearance here was just a coincidence.

According to Fu Yanci, Liu Jianyuan had been missing for several months.

And does he know that she is Gu Yanxi?

"You are from China." Gu Yanxi looked at him and spoke first.

"Yes, we are all Chinese." Liu Jianyuan said in a calm tone.

Professor Marion stood at the door, looking here, as if waiting for her to tell her something after handing the painting to this man.

Most of the students in the classroom had dispersed. Of course, there were still some who were waiting for her, probably wanting an autograph or something.

Gu Yanxi's voice was lowered infinitely, "You are not from the school, how can you be interested in attending my lecture?"

"You really don't know why?"

The person being questioned stared at her with his deep eyes, and his hoarse voice sounded like there was a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his mouth.

Before Gu Yanxi could say anything, the voice sounded again, and only two people could hear it.

"Gu Yanxi, you are not dead, you lied to me."

The man's voice was filled with suppressed anger, as if he had been greatly deceived.

The eyes staring at Gu Yanxi were also tainted with a bit of cruelty and paranoia.

Gu Yanxi frowned. She handed the painting to him slowly, her eyes staring at him for a moment, "What do you want to say?"

"Aren't you afraid of bringing death to those around you?"

Liu Jianyuan took the painting, but did not take it completely. He sneered and said this.

"As long as you don't tell, no one will know that Gu Yanxi is still alive."

Liu Jianyuan completely took the painting away from her hand, and a cold snort escaped from his mouth, "You self-righteous idiot! You will kill everyone you care about."

After leaving these words, he turned around and left, a cold wind blowing around Gu Yanxi in his black windbreaker.

Gu Yanxi looked at his back, her eyebrows knitted together tightly.

……

"Teacher Jian Yi, can you sign your name for me?"

"Teacher Jian Yi, will you come here again to give lectures in the future?"

As soon as Liu Jianyuan left, the students gathered around him spontaneously.

Gu Yanxi was absently packing his things while dealing with various problems from the students.

Until the people in the classroom completely dispersed.

Only then did Gu Yanxi take out his cell phone and enter a few words in the input box:

[Liu Jianyuan was in Bordeaux, I met him...]

Before he could finish losing, Marion's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Miss Jian Yi, let me get it for you."

Before Gu Yanxi could say anything to refuse, an outstretched hand covered hers.

The other person took something from her hand, and his rough palm rubbed the back of her hand intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Yanxi raised his gaze and met Marion's wrinkled face. His eyes narrowed to a slit, and his seemingly kind smile gave Gu Yanxi goosebumps.

"No, I'll do it myself." Gu Yanxi was about to withdraw his hand, but Marion pulled him tighter.

Only then did Gu Yanxi realize that there were only two of them left in the classroom.

At this moment, the old professor looked at her with smiling eyes and said in unskilled Chinese: "Miss Jian Yi, if you want to deepen your career in the art circle, I can provide you with more opportunities to show yourself like today. .”
