Chapter 316 - 56
Early in the morning, the door of the east room was opened from the inside, and Alii, dressed in a lotus-themed robe, walked out.
In the past, she was always the earliest to rise in this household, but not today.
On the levee, Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin sat facing each other, heads bowed, sharpening the sickles in their hands.
As Alii passed by, Run Sheng looked up and smiled at the girl: "Good morning."
The girl paused in her steps, then moved again to enter the house and went upstairs.
Although she did not speak, that brief pause was the biggest response she could give.
Pushing open the door to her room, she entered, where the boy was still asleep; the girl started to admire the paintings hanging on the wall that the boy had created.
There were three completed paintings, the first of which was Little Huang Ying.
The woman in the painting did not look fierce or terrifying; rather, she appeared restrained and demure, her figure swaying as she moved, her lips as if recounting a story or singing a song, seemingly about to step out of the painting to offer songs and dances.
The second painting depicted a kindly old woman with white hair, sitting in the yard basking in the sun, with a black cat sleeping on her lap.
The third painting was of a middle-aged man, his features intentionally blurred, only his back was depicted, but the ancient Copper Coin hanging at his waist was intricately detailed, very clear and distinct.
