Volume 1 Chapter 91 The Most Trusted Person, Good Night
Boil a pot of water, let it cool, and pour it into a watering can.
Liu Xiao held a watering can in one hand to spray water on the painting, and slowly unfolded the scroll with the other hand.
Ancient paintings that have been left for too long dry out and become hard, and are also very brittle. If they are unfolded without being wetted with water, secondary damage will occur.
When Liu Xiao was rescued, the painting opened and closed automatically and broke into countless pieces, doubling the difficulty of repairing it.
Fortunately, Liu Xiao collected all the fragments and wrapped them in the scroll.
At this time, when unfolding, you need to be careful to separate the fragments one by one and not stack them together.
The original version of "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is 51.5 centimeters long and 1191.5 centimeters wide. Although this fake is not that long, it is still five meters long and takes up the entire long table.
By the time Liu Xiao wetted all the scrolls and unfolded them completely, it was already sunset and everyone was holding lamps.
Yuefei packed up her daily necessities and placed them in appropriate locations, as if she were at home.
The whistle sounded from downstairs. Yue Fei came to the window to take a look, and asked Liu Xiao with a smile on her face:
"My parents have sent me clothes. Do you want to go down and meet me?"
"Ah, no!"
Meeting in a medical hospital is different from meeting now.
"Okay, then I'll go down by myself."
Yuefei said as she walked towards the stairs, walking slowly, obviously waiting for Liu Xiao to change her mind.
Liu Xiao opened her divine vision and looked downstairs. She saw a car parked on the street outside. Two figures got out of the car and looked toward the second-floor window.
Judging from the outlines, it was obvious that they were a man and a woman. Their bodies were emitting a faint white light. They turned out to be extraordinary beings.
"Wait a minute!"
Yuefei immediately stood still and listened to his next words.
"It would be too rude of me not to say hello. Please wait for me."
Liu Xiao took off her apron, washed her hands, put on her coat and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Yuefei called out "Mom and Dad" and stood aside.
Her parents are already past middle age, but they are from a good family and are well-dressed. Especially her father, who has unnaturally black hair that is obviously dyed.
"Uncle and aunt, good night."
Liu Xiao stepped forward to say hello.
Unexpectedly, Yue Fei's parents also handed over their hands at the same time: "Liu Xiao supervises Mu An."
This etiquette made him a little embarrassed.
But why is Yuefei so cold and still standing next to me?
Yuefei's mother smiled and said: "Our family, Yuefei, has a cold nature. I have been bothering you so much. Please bear with me if I am rude. Yuefei, take good care of Inspector Liu."
Yuefei replied: "Yes."
"No no no no no..." Liu Xiao waved her hands repeatedly.
He didn't know for a moment how sincere Yuefei's mother's words were, or whether they were official polite words.
Taking retreat to advance and so on.
"...Junior has always been...taken care of by Yuefei...sister, this time..."
Ah, someone come and save me, I won’t say such polite words!
"puff!"
Who, who is laughing at me?
Liu Xiao turned her head and covered her mouth with joy when she saw Yue Fei.
"Mom and Dad, don't do this, Liu Xiao and I are in the same robe."
After that, he introduced his parents to Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao finally understood that there were many departments under the temple, and they were intertwined with the parliament and the palace. After all, most of the people who served the gods had faith.
Yuefei's parents are two of them. They have obtained divinity but the amount is very small. Compared with ordinary people, they are considered extraordinary and have official and semi-official positions in relevant departments.
The inspection team seems to be on the front line and has little power, but in fact it is directly subordinate to the temple director and has a rather high position.
It can be seen from the fact that Yue Fei was angry at the beginning and gave Bei Mi, the director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, a scolding, but the other party did not dare to be angry at all.
Liu Xiao lamented that she knew so little and seemed to understand nothing.
He finally understood that it turned out that Yuefei's parents were not being polite, but simply thought that his status as an inspector was relatively high.
But after all, he is still a junior, so it is better to keep his profile low, not to mention that he and Yue Fei are still peers.
He asked the two of them to come in and rest, but Yuefei's parents didn't refuse. They went back and took Yuefei's clothes from the car and entered the store.
Seeing that the first floor was empty, I was obviously stunned, but I didn't ask any more questions.
After sitting for a while and saying something like "please bother me", he said goodbye and left shortly after.
Liu Xiao was speechless as she looked at the cars going away.
I came down not only to say hello, but also to mention that it was inappropriate for Yue Fei to live here. Unexpectedly, she brought some clothes over.
This gave him no chance to mention it.
At this moment, Yuefei's parents left, and Liu Xiao watched blankly.
He and Yue Fei looked at each other in silence.
"I will take good care of you, Inspector Liu Xiao."
Pay homage to Yue Fei Ying Ying.
"He's so cold by nature that I'm afraid of you."
Liu Xiao shook his head and turned back to the store. The store door closed automatically behind him and the door lock turned and locked.
Yuefei also followed closely and entered the store before the door closed: "I am, but you are special."
He knew that Yuefei naturally did not hate marrying because his parents hoped that their daughter could get married and have children like ordinary people.
So as long as Yuefei agrees, they will not object.
From the clothes they sent over, it can be seen that Yuefei has communicated with them a long time ago.
They even hit it off immediately.
Use your extraordinary ability to take Yue Fei's clothes and walk up the stairs.
"I might go to bed later, uh... I need to do some preliminary processing on the painting. It's already wet. I can't wait until tomorrow. You can clean it up and rest."
"Um."
Yuefei didn't refuse, and went to wash up when she got to the second floor, leaving Liu Xiao alone in front of the five-meter long table.
The damp drawing paper adhered to the glass surface tightly, without a single air bubble between them.
This should be done for every painting to be restored.
You must know that for paintings that are already old, if a tiny bubble causes the paper to burst, it will be devastating.
Pick up a special soft-bristled brush, dip it in water and brush the entire painting to make sure it is smooth.
Then pour the water on the brush and let the water fall on the drawing paper through the buffer of the brush without any impact.
In fact, he doesn't need to be so careful. With his extraordinary ability, he can slow down the impact of the water flow even more, but this is his habit.
The water flow fell slowly without washing away any debris.
This is cleaning. Paintings that have been stored for a long time need to be cleaned whether there is dust or debris on the surface, so as not to affect the subsequent process.
However, the water fell and accumulated a thick layer on the surface of the painting, but it was still crystal clear without a trace of dirt.
It's so clean.
Liu Xiao was surprised, picked up a clean and soft towel, circled it and rolled it gently from one end of the painting.
Soon the towel was full of water, so he took it aside to wring it out and came back to continue.
Wipe away all excess water from the entire painting.
Although it doesn't feel like a lot of work, the painting is five meters long, so sprinkling it with water and wiping it down is quite time-consuming.
More than two hours had passed by the time he finished all this.
He raised his body and felt a familiar soreness in his waist.
Ah, this familiar sourness!
Liu Xiao stretched her body vigorously, stretching from left to right.
Looking back at the bedroom, she saw a thick quilt spread on the floor beside the bed, with only one head of Yuefei showing, staring at her with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Yuefei, why are you sleeping on the ground?"
Yuefei raised her head and took her chin out of the quilt, revealing a delicate look.
"I've already troubled you a lot, and I don't want to cause you any more trouble."
"No, this is not trouble. You are ill because of me. I feel very sorry for you to be like this."
"Guilt?"
If you weren't feeling guilty, you wouldn't care about me so much?
Yue Fei didn't ask the next question because she didn't want to make the relationship between the two too awkward.
Liu Xiao held the towel in both hands and approached the bedroom door with a serious look on her face: "I feel very guilty, and I feel sorry for you because I was hurt, but I am definitely not worried about you because of guilt."
As he spoke, he knelt down and said, "Yue Fei, I hope you know that you are the person I trust most here. I can only tell you that I miss home and my memories of my hometown in front of you.
"
Yuefei's ears were getting redder and redder, she shrank her neck, and retracted half of her face into the quilt, but immediately stretched it out, her tone was serious, her eyes were full of affection:
"I am very honored."
Liu Xiao found it funny and smiled and said: "Go to bed and sleep. You are not in good health and you will catch cold easily if you sleep on the floor."
Yuefei knew that it was not good for her to refuse anymore and would only make him worry, so she nodded and got up from the bed.
She was wearing light and close-fitting pajamas. Although her body was thin, she was well-proportioned. At this time, she was exposed in front of Liu Xiao without any precautions.
Liu Xiao's face turned red. He quickly stood up and walked back to the hall in a panic. He put down the towel and took out a paper roll more than half a meter long. He found one end and unfolded it. He shook his hand and dropped it on the ground.
There was a crash on the ground, the paper unfolded, and rolled far away. He hurriedly chased after it, forgetting for a moment that he had extraordinary abilities.
"puff--"
Seeing his embarrassment, Yue Fei laughed again.
"You usually behave generously and elegantly. I didn't expect to see you like this. It's not easy."
Liu Xiao calmed down and used his extraordinary ability to control the paper to float in mid-air. Without saying a word, he cut off the dirty part and took a new length of more than five meters.
Although the movements are clean and neat, the redness can still be seen in the ears.
Yuefei knew he was embarrassed, so she didn't say anything.
A thin piece of paper larger than the painting floated in the air, casting a shadow.
For a long while, there was no movement.
Just when Yue Fei was confused, Liu Xiao used his extraordinary ability to control and reroll the paper.
I was too nervous just now, and the repair has not yet reached this stage.
Although Yue Fei didn't know it, Liu Xiao's face turned even redder.
"It's already late. Why don't you go to bed early and do it tomorrow?"
Yuefei held back her laughter and reminded her softly.
Liu Xiao was silent for a moment, nodded and went to wash up.
As soon as he left, he heard Yue Fei's laughter, and he was overwhelmed with embarrassment.
After washing, I got into bed on the floor in my pajamas.
Then he was stunned again.
Unexpectedly, the bed was still warm.
It even has a wisp of fragrance.
The very familiar smell is the fragrance of Yue Fei.
this……
"I am still a child who has never had a girlfriend. Why should I encounter this kind of thing? No one tells me how to deal with it..."
"Liu Xiao, what are you mumbling about?"
"Ah? No!"
Why did I say it out loud!
He raised his eyes and met the bright and clear eyes on the edge of the bed. It was so close that he saw another perspective that he had never experienced before.
He reacted shamefully!
Snapped!
The lights turned off automatically and Liu Xiao didn't say a word.
"Good night, Liu Xiao."
Yue Fei's clear and elegant voice came softly.
"Good night... Yue... Fei."
Good night.
Yue Fei replied again from the bottom of her heart.
