Ji Chen quickly got up and picked up a pen: “I’ll start drawing right now! I just didn’t have any inspiration, and now, it’s coming!” (T/N: It’s coming from my father’s dead glance!)
No one believed him, thinking he was talking nonsense.
Ji Chen brought back a bare box, the same color as the brown paper.
But now, the inside of the box was filled with blue and green, revealing a vivid ocean world, filled with adorable underwater creatures like treasures.
When the box was opened, the tiny fish and shrimp would stand up, creating a dynamic beauty as the box opened.
His sister, who had recently studied physics, cleverly hid a small space in the corner of the box. She connected a few small light bulbs and placed them inside. The underwater inhabitants leaped to life, and when the lights were turned on, the playful shadows created an ethereal beauty, like sunlight filtering through the sea surface into the water.
Everyone had finished their work, but Ji Chen still hadn’t stood up.
The younger sister leaned over curiously: “Brother, what are you drawing? There’s no room…”
The younger sister paused and then seriously rubbed her head against her brother’s, watching him draw.
Yu Tian, a little curious, asked: “What are you guys doing?”
She also leaned over curiously.
Ji Chen was leaning over to the side, drawing a family portrait of their family of four.
This kid, who usually didn’t like to draw, picked up the pen and scribbled crookedly, drawing a suit for his father, a skirt for his mother, and a cute bow for his sister. It was so ugly and cute, a little weird and a little funny.
As he drew, he said very seriously, “You’re right. This is my work after all. Since it’s homework, I have to let everyone know that it was done by our family of four together.”
After Ji Chen finished drawing a family portrait of four, he meticulously cut it out. In the middle, his hand was shaking, and he cut off a part of his arm, but his sister finally fixed it.
The four humans who had strayed into the seabed amidst the colorful fish looked a bit out of place.
Ji Hefeng pointed at it and said, “Isn’t the theme about the underwater world? What if we don’t win a prize?”
“That’s the best idea, too!”
Ji Chen contentedly hugged his underwater world. He decided to take the big box home after the competition and put it in the most conspicuous place in his room.
He thought for a moment and said, “If I don’t win, I’ll have to ask Uncle to sacrifice his looks!”
Yu Tian was amused.
Ji Chen’s work ultimately won a prize, and not only that, it also earned Xiao Hua’s envy, as Xiao Hua’s underwater world was created by her and her nanny.
Seeing the little girl’s pitiful expression, Ji Chen finally relented, swallowing his pride and treating her to a cup of milk tea, which only cheered her up.
She held the milk tea, still unsatisfied, and asked, “Ji Chen, where’s your uncle?”
Ji Chen said, “Do you really think my uncle’s an idler? He’s very busy. He runs a company.”
Xiao Hua’s eyes lit up: “A successful career? That’s great!”
Ji Chen pointed at her and said disapprovingly, “How old are you? You keep talking about this nonsense all day long.”
Xiao Hua scoffed, “Only boys are childish!”
“Hey!”
Ji Chen was amused, but before he could argue with Xiao Hua, he suddenly saw a very cool little girl in overalls and leather boots standing there eating a lollipop.
Ji Chen’s attention was instantly drawn. He waved his arms, shouting, “Xiao Ai!”
Xiao Ai was also delighted to see Ji Chen: “Brother, I was looking for you!”
Xiao Ai is three years old now. The little girl was recently taken abroad by her mother to walk in a fashion show.
Yes, a child this young is already walking in a children’s fashion show. Of course, it’s just her own desire, not her family’s job.
