“It definitely is!” Ou Ming was in a good mood and pulled her in. “When I saw my woman from behind just now, it felt like a big deal to me!”
My woman… Yu Lili rolled her eyes at him and turned her head away with a huff. But she couldn’t stop herself from smiling. Two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, and just like that, the atmosphere improved tremendously.
Ou Ming led her in and handed the entry tickets over. Side by side, they walked into the Kingstown Art Center.
New Year’s Eve probably didn’t mean much to the Vagabond Artist, but to many others, it was a very important day. The day was naturally to be spent with the family, but at night, many of them were still free to attend the exhibition.
Upon entering, Yu Lili was already mesmerized by the painting technique of the first piece of art. To the side was a small plaque bearing the words, “Wen Fenlin’s breakout piece of art. Won first place in the International Art Compet.i.tion. This painting is called ‘The Most Beautiful.’”
At first glance, the painting was a colorful cl.u.s.ter of flowers. But upon further observation, there was another layer of beauty present. The flowers were painted to look like flocks of flying birds, sparrows, and b.u.t.terflies. From afar, they resembled a young woman in a deep sleep. Her eyes were closed, and her cascading tresses were clearly outlined by her perfect figures. It was almost as if the wind was blowing her skirt. It also seemed as if the young lady were made of flowers, birds, and b.u.t.terflies as well.
The strokes were in perfect harmony without any sense of hesitation. One look was enough to surprise anyone. Every corner was exquisite, and every picture on its own was a beautiful ill.u.s.tration. But put together, these pictures became a piece of art in their own right that took the breath of their viewers away.
Yu Lili couldn’t resist getting closer to the painting. She was standing right by the railing.
Beautiful! This was the “Most Beautiful” indeed!
Yu Lili had never seen a painting as earth-shattering as this!
She had seen this painting online once, but it had looked so ordinary on the computer screen. It lacked the impact that the original piece of art possessed.
Yu Lili was lost in thought, and she exclaimed, “This is so beautiful.”
Ou Ming nodded in agreement. His eyes couldn’t help but be attracted to it. “It is very beautiful.” But his eyes had moved over to Yu Lili with a hint of sensuality as they roamed her body.
Yu Lili continued observing the painting for a while. Then she noticed that two girls were snapping photographs. One of them commented to the other, “It’s so impressive that you managed to get tickets for this. Send the photo to me later. I’m going to post it online to show it off!”
The painting had initially brought a sense of calmness upon Yu Lili, but it disappeared the moment she heard that exchange. Such a perfect piece of art was beautiful beyond words. That comment was undoubtedly blasphemy!
Yu Lili raised her eyes and saw the public sign. It was clearly stated, “Please refrain from taking photographs.”
Feeling justified, Yu Lili took a step forward and irately spoke up. “It’s already been stated clearly that photography is not allowed. Did you not see that? The artist did not hang his painting up here so that you could use it to show off online!”
With the camera still in their hands, the female university students heard Yu Lili’s rebuke and looked at each other. With a trace of embarra.s.sment, one of them spoke up, “It’s not like something bad will happen if we take a photo. We just snapped a few shots. Why do you have to be so petty?”
