Ch.98: Bizarre Game Plan; Doors Open to the Fetus Ghost Thief
Xie Lian blinked. A fargone memory was like a dust-covered picture, and when he tried to wipe it clean, it was still blurry. He loosened his hand and picked up that flower, solemn and wordless. Hua Cheng put down the brush too, and quietly grinded the ink, "What is it?"
"..." Xie Lian smiled, "Nothing. Just, this flower is refreshing, I've always liked it."
Hua Cheng smiled at that as Xie Lian nodded in agreement.
"It is a beautiful flower," he said.
It wasn't rare to see offerings of flowers in temples and palaces. Only, most would use bright reds or purples, large bouquets of fresh flowers or handmade fake ones that would never wilt.
"I think we can all agree that the crimson rain isn't someone 'typical'," Pei Ming said. "Everything he does should be extravagant and unique."
After a pause, Xie Lian said, "Could it be that 'Crimson Rain Sought Flower' sought for this kind of flower?"
Hua Cheng smiled, "Gege has the premonition of gods."
"Sooo, is that a yes or a no?" Qing Xuan asked.
"Stop asking," He Xuan immediately replied.
"Indeed, there's no use knowing more about him," Wu Du agreed.
In between laughter, the two finally completed a set of composition together, and the subject was still those four verses. Hua Cheng picked it up to admire it, looking very pleased, "En. Pretty good. Frame it."
The Hua Cheng in the room was already thinking of which frame to use.
'It shouldn't be too simple,' he thought. 'nor too lavish. It should be refined like Gege but not too extreme. Hmm...'
Hearing him say "pretty good" Xie Lian "eh"-ed. When he heard "frame it", Xie Lian "eh"-ed again. "You're not thinking of hanging it on the wall, are you?"
No one knew how to break it to the prince as they knew the ghost would 100% frame it somewhere, probably in his private chambers so that no one would see it besides him.
If his deceased teachers were to see Xie Lian's involvement in such a set of composition, they'd probably rise from the dead to haunt him as a zombie.
