After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 320

Chapter 320: Praising Zhouzhou for Her Strength
In the entire painting, there were twenty-one individuals, plus one Wangcai, but they could not even conjure up a single “person”.

Was that how they appeared in Zhouzhou’s eyes, as such a motley crew of misfits?

Zhouzhou’s artwork prompted everyone to begin doubting themselves.

Seeing their silence, Zhouzhou blinked her eyes, tilting her small head and asked, “What’s wrong? Is my painting not good?”

There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

She had been painting all day.

“It’s beautiful,” Qin Lie spoke up first.

The rest of them also looked over silently, remaining speechless.

Facing their gaze, Qin Lie calmly lifted the little girl up, his face turning red as he said without blinking, “It’s beautifully done, and very auspicious. In the future, our family will definitely stay together forever.”

“Mm-hmm!” Zhouzhou regained her confidence, vigorously nodding her little head, turning to look at the others with hopeful eyes.

Qin Ren adjusted his glasses and spoke next, “Zhouzhou’s painting is truly sophisticated, at the level of a master.”

How could he praise her like that?

Even a master would deny being one upon hearing such praise.

The others looked again, but all they saw were those distorted lines, still unable to see anything resembling a person.

Could it be that Zhouzhou was into abstract art, the art of the avant-garde?

Even if that were the case… it still couldn’t pass for sophisticated!

Several people twitched at the corners of their mouths, wondering if he had blinded himself during an experiment and needed new glasses.

Facing their disdainful glances, Qin Ren’s expression remained unchanged as he smiled at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou clapped her chubby hands and said, “Big brother is amazing, I like big brother the most!”

So this is how it works, isn’t it?

Hearing this, Grandma Qin unwillingly said, “I also think Zhouzhou’s painting is superb, this painting…”

She hurried to speak, then suddenly forgot her words, stumbled, and seeing her granddaughter looking at her expectantly, she discreetly pinched Grandpa Qin, seeking help with a guilty heart.

Grandpa Qin lowered his voice and said, “Boundless future.”

“Exactly!” Grandma Qin said loudly, “Our Zhouzhou is so young and yet paints so well, her future is boundless.”

Grandpa Qin nodded, giving a thumbs up, “Very talented.”

What kind of talent was that?

Several people twitched at the corners of their mouths, unable to believe that this was their own father.

Back in the day, when they won first prize in the World Painter Competition, he didn’t even praise them once.

However, before they could even complain, seeing Zhouzhou turning her head towards them, they hurriedly thought of their own words, eager to speak first.

The further they went, the harder it became.

Listening to their increasingly distorted praises, in the end, even down-to-earth people from the North and South Qin families were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the painting.

Qin Bei spoke up loudly, “This is clearly…” painted terribly, worse than rubbish!

Before he could finish his sentence, a cold light suddenly struck, and he turned his head to see Qin Ren taking off his glasses, casually looking at him.

He immediately felt a tightness in his skin, as if someone had grabbed him by the back of his neck, unable to move, stiffly saying, “The painting is super amazing, I have never seen such a beautiful painting!”

At his words, Qin Ren put his glasses back on.

Well, his glasses were just dirty, there was absolutely no intention of threatening his younger brother.

Absolutely none.

Zhouzhou had no idea how much of a challenge she had brought to her family. Hearing their praises, she felt elated, swelling with pride.

She remembered what her eldest brother had told her, to be humble, and she pressed down the corners of her mouth that were almost smiling to her ears.

Her chubby paw hesitated, twisting her chubby body embarrassedly, “Actually, it’s not that good.”

She didn’t know that her painting was so good, and everyone liked it so much.

Excited, her little cheeks turned red, and she said loudly, “I want to paint a picture for each of you and hang it in your rooms!”

She couldn’t let them down!

Upon hearing this, everyone took in a sharp breath of cold air. Was there still a chance to refuse?

Obviously not.

With Grandpa and Grandma Qin watching from above, Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng acting as the guardians of their daughters, and Qin Ren threatening with his glasses, and Zhouzhou’s hopeful eyes, who could resist? Who dared to refuse?

Forget it.

They surrendered, obediently sitting in the chairs opposite Zhouzhou, waiting for her to paint for them.

Zhouzhou grabbed her paintbrush and started painting.

In the end, even Wangcai was pulled into painting by her. She happily handed it to him, patting his big head and saying, “Wangcai, this is you, do you like it?”

Wangcai snorted, who does this ugly thing think it is, daring to imitate me?

“Oh, you like it so much.” Zhouzhou smiled even brighter. When Wangcai was happy, he liked to lick her, so whether it was saliva from licking directly or saliva from her touching him, it was all the same to her.

Zhouzhou was overjoyed, “Wangcai, tomorrow I’ll have Dad frame this painting for you, so you can hug it when you sleep.”

Wangcai: ! I refuse!

But since the whole family couldn’t bear to tell Zhouzhou the truth and she couldn’t understand the only one who spoke the truth, she naturally assumed that her painting was superb!

An Ya looked at her daughter, laughing until her stomach hurt, weakly leaning against Ye Lingfeng’s chest. Ye Lingfeng wrapped his arm around her shoulder, also smiling.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He glanced at it and then closed it.

He moved too quickly for An Ya to see the contents, and she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Lingfeng shook his head, “Nothing.”

Guessing what it was, An Ya’s smile faded slightly, she sat up straight, looking at him seriously, “Honey, if you have something to do, go ahead, I know what you’re doing is important, and I understand.”

Ye Lingfeng held her hand, “It’s really nothing, I want to spend more time with you, I’ll have Chen Tuo handle it.”

Seeing his insistence, An Ya had no choice but to lean back again.

But in her heart, she sighed lightly, her eyes slightly lowered, feeling a bit guilty, she was the one holding him back.

“Don’t overthink it.” Sensing her emotions, Ye Lingfeng held her tighter, whispering softly, “I’ll go out for a while tonight, you accompany Zhouzhou, okay?”

An Ya nodded, not asking what he was going to do, “Take care.”

“Yeah, don’t worry.”

As they talked, Zhouzhou quickly ran over, holding up the family portrait she had drawn for the four of them.

“Mommy, look, this is our family portrait, with you, me, daddy, and sharp tongue uncle.”

An Ya lowered her head, it was also in Zhouzhou’s abstract style, barely recognizable as a person.

However, she carefully accepted it, “Can I have it, sweetheart?”

“Of course.” Zhouzhou climbed onto her lap, kissed her on the cheek, and nuzzled her head in her arms, “Mine is mommy’s.”

An Ya felt warm inside, turning her head to look at her husband, feeling immensely happy.

At night, Zhouzhou, all clean and wrapped in a small towel, snuggled into An Ya’s arms, telling her about what happened at kindergarten today.

Suddenly remembering something, she looked up and asked, “Mommy, do you have any wishes? Or is there something you want to do?”

The question came suddenly, but An Ya understood her meaning.

She wanted her to be happier, without regrets.

If her daughter could comfort her, she would naturally be happy.

After thinking for a moment, An Ya nodded, “Actually, I do have one.”

“What?” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up.

An Ya’s lips curled slightly, whispering something in her ear…
