Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Writing with a Brush

The second day of the variety show, everyone could finally choose their clothes. Afraid of running around today, Mu Ran chose the simplest white top and horse-faced skirt.

The neckline of the white top was neither too high nor too low, just revealing a small section of the collarbone. Mu Ran herself liked the horse-faced skirt very much, its pleats were sharp and neat, paired with colorful and vibrant design, cool and sassy!

[Sigh sigh, Director Mu’s collarbone, I love it!]

[Stylist come out and be praised, Director Mu’s cool and distant vibe is full, sunshine falling on her hair, each strand sparkling!]

[Director Mu’s face, this figure, participating in the variety show is truly benefiting humanity!]

…

Everyone gave consistent praise to Mu Ran’s style, actually, no one ever complained about her style, mainly because her face and figure are just too striking, no matter what clothes or style, as long as her face and figure are there, she would wear it in a unique way.

Chu Xijin also followed his aunt in a change of style.

As expected, it looked good, but when everyone was dressed in ancient costumes, it made Chu Xijin look even better.

His demeanor and grace far surpassed everyone else’s.

[The ancient costume son I chose that day!]

[Actually, sister is cute, a lovely Hanfu, hair in double buns, like a favored lady from ancient times.]

[Unexpectedly, Mao Xiaomiao, dressed in a red python robe, holding a Brocade Spring Saber, amidst the gleam of the blade, she was majestic and valiant, like a sparkling Jinyi Guard!]

[Everyone’s looks are high, the clothes are quite nice, but Xiong Zunxiang really resembles the silly son of the landowner, a bit dull, silly, seems like one piece of candy could trick him away.]

…

Xiong Zunxiang, wearing a scholar’s cap, was still bragging to Chu Xijin: “Xiao Jin, isn’t my outfit good-looking, I carefully selected this, it’s my first time wearing ancient costume!”

“Looks good!” Chu Xijin praised.

“Hehe, I also think so, just a bit small, if it were bigger, it would be better, my belly is sticking out.” Xiong Zunxiang rubbed his belly with a face full of distress, “I need to lose weight.”

Chu Xijin couldn’t hold back his laughter, “No more eating delicious food?”

“Boohoo, it’s all Wenwen’s fault, he always sends me loads of delicious food, making it impossible for me to cut down on snacks!” Xiong Zunxiang has a love-hate relationship with Zhu Wenzhen.

Zhu Wenzhen wouldn’t admit this guilt, hands on hips, angrily glared at him: “You said you’re always hungry at home, wanting to eat good food, hearing you say that, I found a bunch of delicious stuff from the warehouse to send you, and now you say that about me!”

Xiong Zunxiang hid behind Chu Xijin.

A bit guilty.

No way, mom and dad also said he needs to look good on camera, should lose weight a bit, but seriously, his belly is hungry, who can resist eating, right? No one could.

Zhu Wenzhen: “Next time I won’t send you anything!”

“No, the things you send me are so delicious.” Xiong Zunxiang babbled a bunch of snack names, like a completely different person from the one troubled by memorizing poems yesterday.

Xiong Guobing couldn’t help but give him a light slap on the head, “Eat eat eat, all you know is eating, they sell these things, but buying doesn’t cost money, right? Have you given Wenwen money?”

“No…” Xiong Zunxiang looked up at him.

Seeing his dad still hadn’t reacted, he said: “Shouldn’t you give money?”

Xiong Guobing: “!!!”

He was really about to be exasperated into laughter by this troublesome kid.

This kid went to eat loads of snacks, now wants him to pay up?

He really knows how to calculate.

Zhu Zhuting came out to smooth things over, “Kids’ snacks don’t cost much, as long as Xiangxiang likes to eat, it’s fine.”

Moreover, Xiong Zunxiang recited a long list of names.

With kids’ advertising, the sales in the live broadcasts surely will be better.

“You’re spoiling the child, see how spoiled he is.” Xiong Guobing shook his head, “Our family’s kid really needs to lose weight, from now on no snacks for him.”

Zhu Zhuting also nodded.

That was their way of parenting, she wouldn’t interfere.

Yang Yingying also spoke up at this time: “We’re going to Lion Forest, there’s a study room prepared there, and we’ll play inside later.”

“Yay!”

Everyone cheered.

In the car, Chu Xijin asked his aunt whether she could use a calligraphy brush.

Mu Ran suddenly found it hard to answer because she could achieve calligraphy, but didn’t know how to use the calligraphy brush.

Because—

She painted it!!!

When Chu Xijin first saw his aunt outline and color a character with brush strokes, his worldview almost shattered, “Aunt, you… how…” could be so absurd.

“Then I’ll just paint.” Painting was something she was relatively good at.

Chu Xijin finally let out a sigh of relief, that’s good.

Otherwise, watching his aunt write with a brush really felt like watching someone pair “dumplings with rice” – not exactly wrong, but with an emotion pent up unable to be expressed.

Yang Yingying also announced a task: “Today, the best in calligraphy and painting, and the most improved, can earn a hundred yuan at tonight’s lantern festival, the others only fifty yuan, good luck!”

After receiving the task, everyone quietly crafted painting or calligraphy on paper, creating a truly beautiful scene.

When the camera zoomed in, everyone saw Lin Yuxian tilting her little head writing, in a pavilion, playing a zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, a sister with hair in double buns, resembling a carefree, innocent and lively lady studying and writing in her study, leisurely and content.

[Sister is so cute.]

[Absolutely amazing!]

[Sister is truly an angel, but seems like the only one, who makes me feel more distanced from family.]

…

Mu Ran carefully painted, traditional painting was truly difficult for her, from the initial draft, to the final outlining of details, each step required concentration.

She painted the commonly seen bamboo, from coloring to the final detailing.

Her neck no longer belonged to her.

When she handed the work to the teacher, the teacher commented, “Fresh and elegant, deeply skilled, creatively vivid! Looks like you’ve studied traditional painting for many years.”

“Just casually painted when I was young, never really learned seriously.” Mu Ran spoke honestly.

“Very talented!” The teacher praised.

Mu Ran also felt a bit happy.

Gradually, the teacher also observed everyone’s works, most favored being Chu Xijin’s writing!

“Graceful as startled swans, elegant as swimming dragons, balanced and harmonious in form, little friend, your calligraphy is quite impressive.”

“Just okay.” Chu Xijin humbly replied.

[I’m studying calligraphy, but not as good as a five-year-old child!]

[I showed grandma Chu Xijin’s writing, now she really likes this child, who would understand?]

[Xiao Jin is so quick and versatile, really curious about what his parents are like, to be able to raise such an outstanding child.]

…

But watching this scene, Xiao Baocang sinisterly smiled, Mu Ran’s most beloved child.

If he were to be used, wouldn’t that be fun?

He originally thought Xiao Yu’an would find an unremarkable lady to date, but he actually found Mu Ran!

Mu Ran had Mu Dixin, her abilities also cannot be underestimated, she would certainly assist Xiao Yu’an greatly.

He must break them up.

The Xiao family’s heritage should be his!!
