Chapter 502 - So-Called Compensation (1/2)

She was clearly a small child, and yet she was so serious about her painting.

Su Li walked over and sat at one side, seriously studying Rainy's painting. It was only when Rainy finished painting and raised her head that she realized Su Li was sitting, facing her.

”Hello, Granny.” Her sweet voice called out.

”Yes. Hello…” Su Li rubbed Rainy's round face. Then, she took Rainy's painting and gently tapped on the table as if she was deciding on something.

”Ruoxin, come in here for a second.”

”Alright.” Xia Ruoxin agreed before lowering her head to pinch her daughter's cheeks. ”Baby, Mommy is going to go talk to Teacher Su about something. You have to sit here obediently.”

Before she even finished speaking, somebody had already interrupted her.

”Pretty lady, don't worry. We'll help you keep a watch on this little beauty; you won't lose her.”

”That's right. This little beauty won't disappear under our watch. Unless she teleports through space, then we wouldn't be able to do anything about that.”

Xia Ruoxin felt extremely weak towards the kind and precious words from the others in the studio.

She stood up and headed towards Su Li's office. Su Li held a painting in her hand, her thoughts unknown to others.

”Yes, Ruoxin, sit.” Su Li pointed to the seat in front of her. Xia Ruoxin sat down, not knowing why Su Li had called her over.

”Actually, it's a small thing.” Su Li smiled before presenting the painting in her hand to Xia Ruoxin. ”Look at this; the child is quite talented.”

Xia Ruoxin reached over for the painting. Indeed, her daughter had a talent for drawing just like her. She was not going to demand that her daughter learn or master something. Rainy was dogged by bad luck since the moment she was born. All she hoped for was Rainy to grow up healthily. Other than that, there wasn't anything else she wanted for her daughter.

As for art—if Rainy had interests in it, then sure, she should learn it. As her mother, she was completely supportive of it.

Su Li clasped her hands together, the smile on her face reflecting memories of the past. ”I used to be a student, too, just like Rainy. However, I never got to take up this job after I grew up. It was one of my biggest regrets. That's why, this time, I wanted to let you know that a nursery painting and calligraphy competition is coming up. I'm a judge there. I'll let Rainy use this painting to take part in the competition, Ruoxin, what do you think?”

Of course, Ruoxin was more than willing. She couldn't help but feel a sense of pride rise up in her heart. This proved that Rainy was very outstanding. She wasn't worse off than other children. Furthermore, although the previous nursery painting and calligraphy competition had seemed like an unimportant event in the little children's worlds, it left an unforgettable memory of deception for Rainy.

”Thank you, Teacher Su Li, I'm willing to let her participate in the competition.” Xia Ruoxin hastily stood up and bowed to Su Li.

By the time she came out, Rainy was still seriously painting out intelligible drawings on a piece of paper. Sometimes, it was hard for her not to believe that her child was really talented. Although she had never intentionally taught Rainy how to draw, the little fella just had her own sense of imagination. Maybe, this was blood relation; this was a genetic inheritance. However, if that was true, then what did Rainy inherit from that man?

The color of his eyes? Or his character?

…

”Daddy.” Upon seeing the man outside, Chu Xiang immediately ran towards him, letting him carry her up. So much time had passed, and she was getting used to calling him 'Daddy'. She also managed to understand Chu Lui's character better within that period. This daddy… although he didn't say much, he actually treated her very well.
