Before she could finish speaking, Mi Nuo could not help but interrupt her, “I didn’t think that you would try to persuade us from this perspective. But do we look like fools to you? A pair of high school sweethearts breaking up after graduation is indeed a good concept. Were you going to say that the green on this design represents the willow tree?”
“No.” Zhuang Nainai shook her head before narrowing her eyes and speaking clearly. “Since you say that the green color in the design represents the tree, the tree must be a memento of love to you. Then, may I ask what kind of tree it is?”
What kind of tree?
That question stunned Mi Nuo. How could she tell what kind of tree it was through this patch of green?
She did not dare to answer haphazardly as she was afraid that she would fall into Zhuang Nainai’s trap. She turned around and looked at the design above. The entire design did not show any hints of trees. Hence, she answered quick-wittedly, “Sorry, I don’t know much about different species of trees. And so much time has gone, so I have forgotten about it.”
Zhuang Nainai scorned, “But I have clearly told everyone the species of the tree in my design!”
Frowning, Mi Nuo saw Zhuang Nainai point the laser toward the design. “The green color here is obviously sharper. This isn’t the blending of colors. This is… a tree leaf. The tree leaves of the pine tree!”
The tree leaves of the pine tree?
Mi Nuo noticed how the light green strokes and dark green strokes intertwine. Initially, when she saw this part, she simply thought that it looked nice and did not think much of it. However, never had she expected that to be the leaves of the pine tree.
If she suddenly took back her words right now, she would surely incite everyone’s suspicions. Thus, Mi Nuo said quick-wittedly, “I didn’t expect you to be making something up here. But, pity you, those aren’t even tree leaves. They are shadows of the tree.”
Zhuang Nainai smirked and waved her hand at Ji Chen. Then, Ji Chen enlarged the design speedily.
After the patch of green had been enlarged, the resolution dropped. However, thin and well-defined layers of green could still be seen clearly.
“If you say they are shadows of the tree, then this tree should be the pine tree’s shadow too, right?” Zhuang Nainai joked.
Mi Nuo frowned and clenched her fists tightly.
“Gu Qingyan, you can’t tamper with such small details. You…”
Before she could finish speaking, she heard everyone gasp in shock. Mi Nuo stopped talking and looked over, only to see dabs of dark green among the shadows of the tree. After enlarging it, the dabs of green actually formed a word. Upon scrutiny, one would discover a simple word, which was “Si.”
This “Si” was covered by layers of tree shadows, so the word looked like it had been erased.
Zhuang Nainai pointed at that word. “Then, can you tell everyone what the meaning of this word is?”
What was the meaning?
How would she know?! Mi Nuo really wanted to cry out for her mother right now! Years ago, she had inspected this artwork carefully. It was only after she was sure that there weren’t any symbolic aspects in the artwork that she handed it in. But why did this part form a word after being enlarged?!
This is illogical!
She furrowed her brows tightly as she heard Zhuang Nainai slowly say, “Everyone should already know who this ‘Si’ refers to. Mr. Si and I were classmates in high school. You guys can verify this for yourselves, but…”
Zhuang Nainai turned around and looked at Mi Nuo before saying moments later, “Don’t tell me that your first love’s last name is also Si?”
Upon saying this, she looked at the reporters below once again and shrugged. “I believe Si is a pretty rare last name, right?”
