[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 251 - 250: Ginkgo

Chapter 250: Ginkgo

Seeing that Qin An didn’t want to accept her gift, Nan Xing felt anxious that she forgot her shyness and quickly went close to the young man.

"Brother, please accept it," she pleaded.

Nan Moyi on the other side looked greatly shocked at what his sister did and squatted down to level the girl and asked with a hesitant voice.

"Xiaoxing, don’t you remember where that necklace came from? It’s from Father and Mother..." Nan Moyi looked at Qin An with an embarrassed smile. "I’m sorry, Anan but can I take it back? It’s actually from our parent’s heirloom. I just don’t know why Xiaoxing decided to give this to you all of the sudden."

Qin An of course could understand his predicament and give back the necklace.

"Thank you," Nan Moyi looked relieved after receiving the necklace again and turned to his sister. Does she like Qin An so much that she actually gave the last gift from their parents? It’s a bit surprising that she could do that but he felt that he understood.

Maybe Xiaoxing just wanted to get close to the young man, especially since this is the first time for her to take such an initiative to get close to someone she didn’t relate with. Nan Moyi was about to say something when Nan Xing take back the necklace from his hands and said,

"Big Brother, can’t I give this to Brother?"

"Xiaoxing, can you also tell me first why you want to give this to Qin An?" Nan Moyi patiently asked.

Nan Xing tilted her head for a second before answering. "I don’t know, Big Brother."

This surprised Nan Moyi. "You don’t know?"

The little girl nodded and thought for a moment before changing her answer. "Big Brother, I think the Grandpa Tree wanted it."

Nan Moyi became more confused. "Grandpa Tree? Who is that?"

"Big Brother, don’t you remember the Grandpa Tree that I always told you about? It’s the Grandpa Tree that I always have in my dreams! Grandpa wanted me to give it to Brother."

Grandpa Tree? Nan Moyi suddenly remembered the tree that always appeared in his sister’s dream. Was that it? But how does she even communicate with that tree?

He sighed thinking that this was just an ordinary daydreaming from a child. He was about to say something when Nan Mofeng came running towards them with a wide smile painted on his face.

"Brother!" Mofeng excitedly faced Nan Moyi to share the good news that he had completely not noticed the strange atmosphere.

"Brother, I have very good news for you!" Although it’s also fortunate that he came because it lessened the unknown tension. Nan Moyi faced the younger brother with a smile.

"Hmm?"

"Brother, Master Yang accepted me as an apprentice!" Nan Mofeng didn’t beat around the bush and just directly stated the news, his voice contains extreme happiness.

"!!!" Nan Moyi was stunned. Master Yang? Was this the teacher that his younger brother always talked to about because of his amazing qualities in painting. The latter was a renowned painter not only for his outstanding skills but also for the subject that he paints— the Earth. His paintings were all authentic from the images that were rediscovered from history.

Nan Mofeng had shown amazing talent for painting from a young age and even if he was also busy in academics, the family didn’t let this talent go to waste and supported him all the way. He also attended an art school to fully focus on what he wanted.

And even now surprisingly, his younger brother was actually accepted as an apprentice?

Nan Moyi quickly turned to Mofeng and asked excitedly. "A’feng, is that true? Congratulations!" He greeted him.

Mofeng giggled at the sight of his enthusiastic brother and faced his younger sister. "It’s all thanks to Xiaoxing!"

"Xiaoxing?"

"Hm!" Mofeng nodded and held Nan Xing’s hands. "Xiaoxing, remember the ginkgo tree that you always told me? Master Yang noticed it and thus decided to be my teacher! I really want to thank you!"

"Wow! Congrats, Bro!" Nan Xing clapped with admiration. "Can you let me see the painting?"

"Sure!" Nan Mofeng clicks his brain on his wrist. "Teacher had my painting now so I can only let you see the picture." Then a small screen appears in front of them.

"Big Brother, this is Grandpa Tree! Third Brother drew him well!" Nan Xing excitedly pointed at the picture and introduced it to Nan Moyi and Qin An.

While the little girl began telling about the tree, they didn’t notice the stunned expression flashed on Qin An’s face.

Qin An stared at the magnificent ginkgo tree. Even though it was only painted, the young boy painted the old tree very vividly, with every detail of it can be observed. It was as if the tree was just in front of them. But what caught his attention was the aura of the painting.

From what they said, Nan Mofeng didn’t even personally know or see the old tree and only made this according to Nan Xing’s descriptions to him. However the way the young boy painted every small detail and the unique temperament exuding, it was truly a sight. In addition, Qin An also noticed something unusual.

As he stared at the ginkgo tree, a familiar faint sensation came from it that made him frown a bit.

It was just like how he first saw Nan Xing again earlier. That sudden familiar feeling that caught him off guard. It’s just that that feeling was so light that he couldn’t have noticed it if he didn’t stare at the painting. Maybe because this was only an image and not the painting personally.

"Wow, Bro! Grandpa Tree would approve of this painting!" Nan Xing pouted. "It’s a pity that Grandpa Tree lived too far away."

Nan Moyi looked amused. "Xiaoxing, Grandpa Tree is just in your dreams, right? You can just describe this to him when you sleep later."

"No, Big Brother," Nan Xing unexpectedly shook her head this time. "Grandpa Tree didn’t live in my dreams. He said that he only visited me every night because he was lonely too."
