Chapter 61 Missed Again
Nie Guangyi is at a very big turning point in his life.

He had just lost his mother and had a tough fight with his father, who had been close to him since childhood.

His life suddenly had no direction.

He does not have to go to Tsinghua University.

If it is, he can also repeat the exam.

Nie Guangyi no longer knows what is right and what is wrong.

His grades are good, his mood is bad.

He wanted to convince himself to forgive Nie Tianqin, but he couldn't.

He wanted to tell himself not to go into a dead end, but he just couldn't digest it anyway.

He wanted to hang shoulders with his classmates as before.

For a little inexplicable little thing, I laughed so hard.

But now he doesn't even have the desire to talk to people very often.

Nie Guangyi chose to leave and went to various parts of the world as an exchange student.

If a person needs to constantly adapt to the new environment, perhaps he does not have so much time to indulge in the past.

He doesn't even want to go to school.

Only a place like a museum can make him calm down and think.

After picking up [The Source of Aurora], Nie Guangyi did not continue to stay in "Cana's Wedding" for too long.

He found that even if he stared at Veronese's masterpiece, he could still think of Professor Nie who was far away in Shanghai.

"The Wedding at Cana" drew more than 130 people in total.

The painting is clearly a story from the Bible, which tells the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine, which tastes better than the wine originally served at the wedding.

Veronese, however, included himself and his teacher Titian in the painting.

This has to make Nie Guangyi think of "The School of Athens" which is half a century earlier than "The Wedding at Cana".

The School of Athens is a masterpiece handed down by Raphael, one of the three masters of the Renaissance.

In "The School of Athens", Raphael drew a total of 11 people in 57 groups.

Plato, Aristotle, his mentor Socrates...

Raphael also drew his own face in a very inconspicuous position.

Nie Guangyi discussed this issue with Professor Nie before he got into a stalemate.

Why did ancient European painters paint in myths and stories, painting themselves and gods together, but ancient Chinese rarely heard of such masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.

Professor Nie said that the gods in ancient China were all non-human beings.

But the gods in ancient Greek mythology are all kinds of fireworks.

Those gods are not perfect and have all kinds of problems.

May be selfish, may be playful.

It is no different from ordinary people, so there is no sense of distance.

Thinking of Professor Nie, Nie Guangyi became irritable.

He hurriedly left the Mona Lisa Hall.

Before leaving the Louvre, he took [Source of Aurora] to the Lost and Found Office of the Louvre.

The staff over there are busy assisting with all kinds of theft reports.

No one has time to deal with an A4 paper that cannot be called a work at all.

Nie Guangyi stayed at the lost and found office for several hours - he was so free that he didn't know what to do.

In a few hours, several wallets came and were stolen.

It's all about being careless while watching the Mona Lisa.

Not even cash and credit cards.

In the era when mobile payment had not yet started, it was difficult to move without a card + without cash.

There are also those who cry directly there.

Nie Guangyi spent four hours at the Lost and Found office looking at human relationships, but no one came looking for "Hua".

In this case, even if he keeps this A4, he probably cannot escape the fate of being thrown.

Nie Guangyi accidentally put this "work" in his bag.

It can be regarded as the predestined relationship between him and Meng Xin.

It's just that I don't have a deep memory.

I haven't even seen the face, it's strange to have a memory.

Nie Guangyi wasted some time at the lost and found office.

Meng Xinzhi and Zongji also lost some time.

On the way out of the Mona Lisa Hall in a hurry, the father and daughter met a staff member in the uniform of the Louvre who was being interviewed by a Chinese TV station.

There were two microphones for the interview, one with the TV station's logo on it.

The other one is the designed program logo.

Meng Xinzhi didn't remember the logo of the TV station, and it was already very vague whether it was "Approaching Da Vinci" or "Into Da Vinci" written on the program logo.

After all, she was still young at that time, and she didn't know all the words well.

Meng Xinzhi, who was originally full of anger, suddenly stopped, and Zong Ji also stood beside her and listened together.

In the first half, the staff introduced the "Mona Lisa" and said that there are a lot of things about this painting, and Meng Xinzhi didn't remember it too clearly.

The second half said that the staff talked about the "Last Supper" in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy:
"Da Vinci didn't like to use fresco paints that had been widely used since the Middle Ages."

"He was an inventor, and he used his own original paint, which was mixed with eggs and milk."

"This also caused many serious peelings in "The Last Supper". No matter how much money is spent and how many experts are hired, it is impossible to completely restore it."

In such an instant, Meng Xin's mood changed from low to high-spirited.

That was the first time she discovered that her dreams had meaning.

Who can say that under the barrier of layers of glass, Mrs. Lisa lost her melodious singing voice?

These words have a high degree of overlap with what Mrs. Lisa told her in the dream.

Meng Xinzhi wrote down almost word for word.

After 14 years, I used my own interpretation of these words to convey Zong's meaning.

And with the shocking reason of "Da Vinci is not a professional painter", Zong Yi, who was also troubled by why the small "Mona Lisa" became a big town hall treasure, was persuaded.

Meng Xinzhi immediately wanted to go back and read it again, after all, she was so angry that she didn't even take a photo of the punch card.

Fortunately, there was a night show in the Louvre at that time.

Zong Ji took Meng Xinzhi to line up again.

By the time we left, it was already night.

When the father and daughter came in, they were only thinking about the "Mona Lisa", and they didn't have time to take a photo in front of the landmark glass pyramid.

Definitely want to take a group photo when I come out.

But who to shoot?
Zong Ji looked around and saw a young man in a black suit who looked like a staff member, guiding a tourist with a map in Chinese.

It is also a "staff" of the Louvre, who can speak Chinese, and is also eager to help guide the way. For such a young man, it should be no problem to ask him to take a photo, right?

Nie Guangyi was arrested by Zongji in this way, and took two group photos of Zongji and Meng Xinzhi in front of the glass pyramid in the night of Paris.

Xu Shi was getting late, Xu Shi was in a bad mood.

Nie, the black suit, the staff member, Guangyi neither distracted nor paid attention.

I didn't put this matter in my memory at all.

At that time, Meng Xinzhi didn't have the unique temperament that made Nie Guangyi unable to walk at a glance.

Even if an eight-year-old girl is as pretty as a peach in three springs, she cannot be as beautiful as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns.

Of course, even if you pay attention, I am afraid that few people can remember what kind of scenic spots they were in, what kind of tourists they helped, and what kind of photos they took.
