“Little You,” Huo Jingnan said with a smile, “although it’s just a silk scarf, it’s not cheap at all! And as the brocade weaver just said, it’s a small gift but a big sentiment!”

"Of course I know!" Jiang Mianmian held Pei Nian's hand and looked at Bai Zhijin with a smile. "Zhijin, thank you. I heard from Nian Nian that it was because you bought the studio that the sales figures were attributed to her."

"It was nothing," Bai Zhijin said softly. "This is Pei Nian's first order, a great start! Things will only get better from here on out!"

Jiang Mianmian poured herself a drink, raised it to her, and said, "I also wish your studio all the best!"

Speaking of the studio, Bai Zhijin frowned and sighed softly.

"What's wrong?"

"Sigh, the second part is due soon, but I've been running out of inspiration lately. No matter how I draw the male and female leads, I can't get them to look the way I want them to."

"Is the publisher pressing you hard?" Huo Junyang asked, looking at her.

"yes……"

Just then, Bai Zhijin's phone rang. She went outside to answer it and talked for a while before returning, making a face as if she was about to faint.

"It's alright," Huo Jingnan smiled, "Let Yangyang draw it for you, he'll work for free!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhijin's eyes suddenly lit up.

It wasn't because I heard about free labor, but because I suddenly realized...

"Hey, Baldy Huo!" Bai Zhijin shouted, "Just stand there and don't move! And... Pei Nian, don't move either!"

"I've noticed that the two of you standing together actually look quite like characters from a comic book!"

"You two wait a minute..."

Bai Zhijin hurriedly rummaged through her bag.

This was a habit she had developed over many years; she always carried a sketchbook and drawing tools in her backpack. She found a good spot, sat down, and began sketching figures.

Huo Junyang stood behind her, watching intently.

Bai Zhijin possesses profound painting skills, and soon the general outline was complete. With a few minor modifications, two traditional Chinese cartoon characters came to life on the paper.

Moreover, it's obvious at a glance that these two figures were drawn based on Huo Jingnan and Pei Nian!

Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian were full of praise, but Huo Junyang frowned and pointed out a few things.

The white brocade in those areas was revised several times, but it just wouldn't turn out well.

Huo Junyang panicked, "Quickly tear off a piece of paper for me!"

Bai Zhijin quickly did as he was told, giving him the drawing paper and brushes.

Perhaps because he had been drawing since elementary school, Huo Junyang drew very quickly and captured the expressions of the figures quite well, on par with Bai Zhijin's work. If you didn't look closely, you might think they were drawn by the same person.

The room was quiet, with only the scratching of paintbrushes on paper.

A moment later, Huo Junyang smiled and presented another perspective of the male and female protagonists in a traditional Chinese-style comic.

Bai Zhijin looked closely. Not only was his drawing lifelike, but he had also perfectly corrected the few parts that she hadn't drawn well before.

The two smiled at each other and worked together to draw the two drafts on one piece of paper.

"Wow!" Even the usually composed special forces soldier couldn't help but exclaim in amazement upon seeing the painting. "This...this is too..."

"You're such a good artist, aren't you?" Huo Er raised his eyebrows. "Pei Nian, well, she already has a good foundation, so it's like I drew her exactly as she was. As for you... I put in a lot of effort to make you look this handsome! Ah, what can I do? I'm a million-dollar photo retoucher! Hahaha..."

"..." Huo Jingnan made a gesture as if to punch him, "But to be honest, this is the first time in my life I've ever been a model for someone!"

Bai Zhijin laughed too, "Bald Huo has great physical attributes, with near-perfect head-to-body ratio and long legs. It's such a pity he's not a comic book character! Hehe, but in reality, he could be a model!"

"Little Yuzu, didn't the Lu family start out with Qingshan Entertainment? Hurry up and arrange it for Bald Huo!"

Laughter erupted in the living room.

Huo Jingnan protested with a look of utter despair: "Bai Zhijin! Stop calling me 'Baldy Huo' all the time, okay? Don't I have any dignity?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed even harder.

Huo Junyu and Huo Junyang each hooked one arm around the special forces soldier, laughing quite loudly.

"Exactly!" Huo Junyang looked at Bai Zhijin. "In front of Pei Nian, let's give her some face! Besides, how could Jingnan be bald at a young age?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huo Junyu grinned mischievously, "Not only does he have a lot of hair on his head, but also..."

He looked down as he spoke.

Huo Jingnan suddenly realized what was happening and chased after the two brothers, filling the living room with laughter and the vibrant energy of youth.

Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can watched them from afar and smiled at each other.

"It's so good to be young!"

"They're just a bunch of little kids." Huo Zhixing looked at his wife with doting eyes. "It's so nice to be this age!"

"I'm so glad that you've always been by my side throughout this half of my life." Jiang Can held his hand and gently leaned on his shoulder. "Now Junyu and Xiaoyouzi have finally tied the knot, all that's missing is a grandson for us!"

"Hmm...I want a granddaughter."

Having a grandson would be great, but Huo Zhixing really wanted a beautiful little granddaughter.

In the future, when the couple takes their granddaughter, dressed like a princess, out on the street, they will definitely be the most fashionable grandparents!

"Alright, granddaughter!" Jiang Can glanced at him helplessly, then frowned slightly. "Even Jingnan is with Pei Nian now, but what about our Yangyang..."

What happened to Yangyang?

Jiang Can hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Don't you think Yangyang's relationship has been a bit disheartening lately?"

"You mean..." Actually, Huo Zhixing had also noticed, but perhaps because he was getting old, he was unwilling to think of things in a negative light.
