Chapter 293 This is for you
It quickly got dark and the moon was reflected on the water. Jiang Xiyue painted for two hours and the little girl watched for two hours.
Jiang Xiyue, who had noticed the little girl a long time ago, squatted down and spoke to the little girl, who was no more than seven or eight years old, "Little sister, don't you have to do your homework? You have been with your sister for so long?"
"I finished my homework a long time ago. Now it's my free time. My mother is watching the convenience store over there." The little girl pointed to the convenience store not far under the bridge.
Seeing the little girl, Jiang Xiyue always kept the sweetest smile on her face, while Linzhou, who was standing next to her, just stared at her blankly.
And the little girl continued to talk.
"Big sister, you are so good at drawing, can you teach me?"
"I'm out traveling, so I can't teach you, but... I'll give this to you." Jiang Xiyue hesitated for a moment, stood up and took down the finished painting, made sure the paint was dry, then rolled it up and handed it to the little girl.
Looking at the painting handed to her, the little girl shook her head vigorously and spoke very seriously.
"No, I can't just take other people's things, especially the painting my sister worked so hard to draw."
"If you feel it's hard, you can bring things to exchange with your sister." Jiang Xiyue's voice was still gentle. She stood up and put away the paint and easel.
When she heard that they could exchange, the little girl's expectant eyes became even more excited.
"Then sister, come with me."
As she spoke, the girl took the lead and skipped down the bridge.
Jiang Xiyue looked at the little girl's crooked steps and each unexpected step, and her heart tightened, fearing that this real loli would fall.
But she still waved to Linzhou.
"Come on Zhou Zhou, let's go see if we can exchange some treasures."
Lin Zhoubi had no objection to Jiang Xiyue casually giving away paintings worth thousands of dollars, because paintings are meant to be seen by people.
Just like the paid mini-game they released some time ago, it didn’t even last a day before pirated copies began to circulate.
When everyone was angry, Linzhou comforted them just to gain popularity.
After all, it was the studio’s first attempt at game production. They just made a demo, priced it at one dollar, and then released it on an unknown Steam platform.
It’s fun to talk about it. The original paintings, music and even the copywriting are more valuable than that game.
They didn't know what went wrong, but if you read it as a novel, it's still a pretty good work. After all, it's just a pure text game with a few more original paintings.
They didn't think much of it, except that the amateur web writer was standing there in frustration and rage for half the afternoon.
He kept muttering the whispers of the ancient gods that no one could understand.
for example……
[My writing was pirated, I didn’t make any money, and I was scolded. 】
[How come the game is also pirated when the game copywriter is in charge? 】
[I'm willing to spend money and be scolded to death...]
[I quit this job. I’ll find a factory to work in after the Chinese New Year…]
Of course, the first two sentences were said at that time. As for the last two sentences, we can always hear the copywriter muttering them. But every time he finishes scolding, he seems to be full of energy, drinking Coke and typing away on the keyboard.
In short, Linzhou had his reasons for inviting him to be the copywriter of the studio. After all, the thinking patterns of online writers are quite bizarre .
Following Jiang Xiyue, Linzhou’s mind couldn’t stop wandering.
The two soon arrived at the door of the convenience store, holding the rolled-up painting in their hands. While the child was looking for treasure, they picked up some snacks at random, stood in front of the counter and hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took a box of 001 from the shelf next to them.
"Auntie, pay the bill."
"Okay, okay, you are the girl ." The aunt spoke with the gentleness of a Jiangnan girl. She put the snacks into the bag and continued talking after seeing the box of small things, "This one doesn't work. You can use this one..."
As she spoke, the aunt put the box back on the shelf, took out a box from the back of the shelf, and helped Jiang Xiyue pack it.
"It's fifty-seven dollars in total. Just give fifty and I'll give you the bottle of Coke as a gift."
"Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Xiyue thanked her softly, handed the packed plastic bag to Linzhou, and waited for the little girl to come downstairs.
Not long after, the little girl came downstairs holding a book, "Sister, this is my favorite storybook, can I exchange it with you for a picture?"
"Sure, anything is fine." Jiang Xiyue squatted down and took the book from the little girl's hand. She was stunned after looking at the cover.
The title of this book is "The Scholars".
To be honest, can children really understand this kind of thing?
Jiang Xiyue was skeptical about this matter, so she continued to ask, "Sister, can you tell me why Fan Jin went crazy after passing the imperial examination?"
"Because he has been suppressed for too long, just like a balloon that is filled with air and suddenly gets popped by a needle." When the little girl answered this, there was an obvious thought in her mind.
After seeing that thinking action, Jiang Xiyue became even more confused.
If a child is told the story by a family member, there is no problem for him to understand the story itself.
But if you tell the story using metaphors, it’s a little scary. This kid is a little too smart… He will definitely become a big shot in the future.
Jiang Xiyue pursed her lips, handed the painting in her hand to the little girl, and stood up.
"Auntie, your daughter is so smart."
"Thank you." The aunt nodded and looked at her daughter, "Yunyun, thank your sister quickly. She gave you the work she worked so hard on for a long time."
"It's not a gift, it's an exchange." The girl corrected her mother's mistake very seriously.
After returning to the B&B and settling down, Jiang Xiyue casually placed the book on the table and leaned back in a daze, "Zhou Zhou, do you think our future children will be as smart as this?"
"Children must be smarter than their parents. After all, it's a powerful alliance." Linzhou also sat next to Jiang Xiyue and answered softly.
After hearing this, Jiang Xiyue punched Linzhou in the chest with her fist.
"Although what you said is very right, my daughter is my father's lover in the previous life. If you say good things about her now, I will be jealous."
"Eat, eat a big bowl." Linzhou laughed and hugged Jiang Xiyue's waist.
Jiang Xiyue, who was being held, didn't say a word and fell into Linzhou's arms. There was a very elegant fragrance in the room, and the two of them sat there quietly for a while.
………
Time passed quickly, and Linzhou looked at the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening .
"Yueyue, take a shower and go to bed."
"Well, it's just right for taking a comfortable hot bath." Linzhou replied, and carried Jiang Xiyue to the bathroom.
After carefully covering the huge bathtub with disposable polymer material, Linzhou turned on the faucet, and hot water flowed from the water heater into the bathtub.
"Together or..."
"Of course we have to go together. Silly Zhou Zhou, do you know what a honeymoon is?" Jiang Xiyue pouted and tested the water temperature with her hand.
The decoration of this B&B is modern yet reveals an antique flavor, such as the gauze in the bedroom or the beautiful decorations in the bathroom.
It didn't take long for the water to reach the right temperature, and the two of them sat in the bathtub facing each other.
"By the way, Yueyue, when you paint the aurora, don't just give it away casually. I've reserved that one."
"Okay, I only send children. Don't you think that girl is very smart?" Jiang Xiyue's face was full of gentle smiles. She turned around and said, "Zhou Zhou, my back is a little itchy. Can you scratch it for me?"
"Okay." Linzhou reached out to help scratch his back, but Jiang Xiyue suddenly leaned on him.
………
It also rains in the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River. After taking a shower, Linzhou sat there flipping through the book The Scholars, while Jiang Xiyue next to him was making tea with a folding kettle.
Listening to the sound of rain and with the beauty by his side, Linzhou felt very happy.
Linzhou glanced at the window out of habit, patted his legs, and motioned Jiang Xiyue to sit over.
"Yueyue, now it's time for a Chinese language test. What is the key to Fan Jin's success in the imperial examination?"
"The core is that no one cares what he was like before. He just won the top spot in the imperial examination, and in the blink of an eye he became the God of Literature." Jiang Xiyue answered softly, holding the poured tea and placing it on the table, and sat naturally on Linzhou's lap.
She was getting tired of answering such stupid questions.
After finishing a pot of tea, Jiang Xiyue hooked her arm around Linzhou's neck and said, " Okay Zhou Zhou, it's time to go to bed now."
"You'd better say go to sleep." Linzhou picked up Jiang Xiyue, reached out to turn off the lights in the room, and locked the door.
In the darkness, Jiang Xiyue's whisper was soon heard, "Of course I went to sleep, but the owner of the B&B was kind enough to send you some medicinal wine . I tasted it and found that it contained a lot of good medicinal herbs."
………
It was five days later when they set out from the town again. During this time... Jiang Xiyue chatted with the little girl every day.
A smart child will be liked everywhere.
After packing up, Jiang Xiyue looked at the car at the door, put the suitcase in the trunk and got in.
The owner of the B&B was sitting in the driver's seat smoking. When he saw Jiang Xiyue get in the car, he quickly put out the cigarette and opened the window for ventilation.
Jiang Xiyue sat down and thanked him softly.
"Thank you for your care during this time, boss."
"What are you talking about? The one who gives money is God. As long as the money is in place, I will take you to the airport today." The boss laughed, but still spoke the truth and did not beat around the bush.
But when he saw young people on their honeymoon for the first time, he still asked questions out of curiosity.
"Boss, where are you going next?"
