Spring River Chasing the Moon

Two old people and one child were in the yard. One was lying on a chair, swaying slowly, while the other old person and child were practicing Tai Chi. There were two figures in the yard. One was relaxed and tense in moderation, while the other one was swaying all the time and his movements were not standard, but he was serious and did not give up.

Luo Zhong looked at Chen Lili, and happened to meet Chen Lili's gaze. They held hands, and understood that this moment proved how correct their decision was.

"Mom and Dad, come quickly, I can box now."

When Luo Youyou saw his parents coming, he immediately asked for praise.

Hearing Luo Youyou's proud words, the four adults in the yard were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You, you're already proud just after learning."

Luo Zhong walked over and teased her.

Luo Youyou stuck out her tongue at him and said, "Am I not good enough? I'm still a child. It's amazing that I've learned all these." Luo Youyou displayed the innocence of a five-year-old child to the fullest.

"You are awesome, but we are the best."

When Luo Zhong heard her words, he did not deny it and started to follow her words.

"We said yesterday that we wanted to fight monsters, and today we're going to fight boxing. Isn't that awesome?" Li Muzhi said with a smile.

"Oh? Weyouyou want to fight little monsters?" Luo Zhong asked with a smile, making Luo Youyou feel embarrassed. "Dad, I'm very powerful, please don't laugh at me."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Now everyone laughed even louder. They thought it was a five-year-old child's desire to win that was at work. This is a necessary process for growing children. At a certain age, every child thinks he is the best.

Only Luo Youyou knew that she was not just talking. She had to defeat many "monsters" before she could... win everything.

Luo Youyou and his family of three had breakfast.

Seeing Chen Ze changed his clothes and went to the studio, Luo Youyou sneaked into his room.

After a while, Luo Youyou came out of the room with his head peeked out, his hands behind his back, hiding something secretly.

She tiptoed to the door of the studio and knocked on it. Chen Ze didn't like being disturbed when he was in the studio, so she asked first, "Grandpa, can I come in?"

Chen Ze had not started writing yet. He was looking through some documents at the desk. When he heard Luo Youyou knocking on the door, he reached out, took off his glasses, and called her in.

When Luo Youyou really stood in front of Chen Ze, she suddenly felt uneasy.

She had never shown her paintings to her grandfather so formally. In her previous life, she didn't dare and was afraid. She clearly didn't want to learn painting from her grandfather, but in the end she still chose the path of design.

Luo Youyou didn't want her grandfather to think that his previous choice was wrong, nor did she want to rely on his influence to follow this path. So no matter how difficult her work became, she never thought of asking Chen Ze for help.

Now, she is going to give the first painting she has ever created in her life to Chen Ze. Luo Youyou feels not only uneasy and nervous, but also regretful.

I regret why I didn’t understand my grandfather’s painstaking efforts earlier.

"Grandpa, I have a gift...for you."

Luo Youyou spoke haltingly, and her voice was so low that Chen Ze could hardly hear it clearly.

"What?" Chen Ze was puzzled, not understanding why his granddaughter suddenly became shy again.

Luo Youyou plucked up the courage, walked forward, stood next to Chen Ze, and handed him the drawing paper hidden behind his back.

"I drew this myself as a gift for you, Grandpa."

"Also, I'm sorry, Grandpa." Luo Youyou added in his heart.

Chen Ze never expected that his granddaughter would prepare a gift for him, nor did he expect that Luo Youyou would actually give him a painting.

Before he opened the drawing paper, he just thought it was probably a simple color painting, but even so, he was already very surprised. He didn't expect that what appeared on the drawing paper was a picture beyond his imagination.

Although the brushstrokes still look very immature, both the lines and the layout no longer look like those of a child who has never learned to paint, not to mention that Luo Youyou is only five years old now.

At this moment, Chen Ze felt not only surprise but also shock. He never expected that Luo Youyou was so talented. He was really very happy.

"My dear, my dear, please come here quickly," Chen Ze called out to Li Muzhi loudly, attracting the three people who were chatting in the yard to come over.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Li Muzhi walked into the studio and felt strange when he saw Chen Ze making a fuss.

"The old man usually likes quietness in the studio. Why did he make such a big noise today?"

Chen Ze didn't care anymore and just kept urging Li Muzhi to come over quickly.

"Come quickly and see what we have painted."

Li Muzhi followed the direction of his finger and saw Luo Youyou's painting. He was also stunned.

"This... is this a painting?" Li Muzhi couldn't believe it. For her, this was too surprising.

"Grandma, I drew this by myself. Mom and Dad didn't help me. I wanted to give you a big surprise.

At this time, Chen Lili and Luo Zhong, who had seen the paintings last night, stood at the door of the studio with eyes full of satisfaction.

Chen Lili knew that this painting would definitely give her father a surprise.

"Dad, Mom, this is a gift from Youyou. I don't know when the child drew it. Even Luo Zhong and I only saw it last night."

Chen Lili smiled and touched Luo Youyou's head, with pride in her words.

Luo Zhongye continued Chen Lili's words and said, "We didn't notice when this child became interested in painting. It seems that she takes after her mother and has talent just like her grandfather."

"Of course. Look whose granddaughter she is. Of course she looks like me." Chen Ze sat down and looked at the painting carefully. Then he turned to look at Luo Youyou and asked, "Grandpa asked you, why did you give me this painting?"

When asking this question, Chen Ze's tone was full of anticipation.

Luo Youyou looked into Chen Ze's deep eyes and answered him firmly, "Because I want to learn Chinese painting from my grandfather."

The sound was not loud, and everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

Although Chen Ze was very excited, he tried to calm himself down and asked again, "Have you thought it through? Once you start learning, I will be very strict and you can't give up halfway."

Luo Youyou looked at everyone, and at this moment she was very clear about what she wanted in the future.

"I want to learn from you and become an outstanding person like grandpa."

She had already made a mistake once, and she would not make the same mistake again this time.

She likes painting, especially Chinese painting.

She has used Chinese painting elements in her designs countless times. Although the arts are interconnected, it is difficult to integrate the two different ways of expression, especially since she has never learned Chinese painting. This has made her more and more paranoid. The more she wants to prove herself, the harder it is to achieve success.

During her continuous attempts, Luo Youyou regretted her choice more and more. Later, when she saw how much her grandfather missed her, she felt even more guilty.

After being reborn, she wanted to firmly follow the path of Chinese painting, not only for herself, but also for all those who loved her deeply, including her grandfather. She didn't want to let him down again.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Chen Ze was very happy. This was the happiest moment for him in all these years.

Although he had not been so stubborn as to force his children to learn painting from him, he still felt regretful that no one in the family could take over his skills.

However regrettable it is, Chen Ze still respects and supports the children's choices.

Now, Luo Youyou is willing and talented, and one of his most anticipated wishes in life has come true.

"From today on, you are Grandpa's student. Grandpa will teach us everything. You must study hard. Do you understand?"

When Chen Ze said this, his voice trembled with excitement.

Luo Youyou immediately agreed, "Yes, sir."

Everyone was amused by her naughty look.

"Oh yeah, I can learn to paint." Luo Youyou was as excited as Chen Ze. Finally, at this moment, he completed what he had not done in his previous life.

In the studio, five-year-old Luo Youyou jumped up happily. She held Luo Zhong and Chen Lili's hands and spun around excitedly.
