"Yay! I'm going to do my homework now~" Lin Xiaoman smiled mischievously and skipped over to sit on her little stool.
Jiang Xia then looked at his wife with a helpless expression, his meaning clear: it was Xiaoman's sneak attack, not his fault.
Lin Yanwan gave a soft snort and turned back to her room.
They kissed, so what? What else can I do? I can't be jealous of my younger sister who's still in first grade every day.
"Xiaoman, do your homework carefully, okay? I'll play with you again later."
"Is Brother Jiang Xia going to make it up to Sister?"
He froze. How did this little brat know everything? Or had she also been reborn?
"Don't worry, I won't tell Mom." Lin Xiaoman stood with her hands on her hips like a little adult. "Brother and sister, you must be good to each other, and please don't fight in the future!"
Jiang Xia gently patted her head, said nothing more, turned around, pushed open his wife's bedroom door and went in, closing the door softly behind him.
"Baby, do you think Xiaoman was also reborn?" She gently hugged Lin Yanwan's waist from behind, their cheeks touching.
Why do you ask that?
“She seems to know everything,” he said seriously.
"I had already tested him before; he's just a precocious little devil."
As she spoke, Lin Yanwan couldn't help but pout: "Isn't it because you saved her last time? Now, in her eyes, you are much more important than me, her older sister?"
"It's not that exaggerated." Jiang Xia rubbed his cheek against her ear and whispered, "You are clearly the most important person in my eyes."
Lin Yanwan blushed inexplicably; this guy, as expected, started going off-topic again. She instinctively wanted to stand up and give him the computer, but she couldn't break free from his embrace.
"Xiaoman said she'd let me come inside to make it up to you." Jiang Xia gently nibbled on her earlobe, his true intentions revealed.
“Dam…”
She blushed and turned her head away, but Jiang Xia persisted.
A warm, wet kiss slowly slid down to the nape of her neck, his slightly warm breath lingering in her hair, and her tense body suddenly softened.
"Don't leave any marks..." Lin Yanwan bit her lip lightly, her voice trembling slightly for some reason.
Jiang Xia made a soft nasal sound, then slowly raised his head. Looking at her snow-white neck, which already had a light hickey, he said awkwardly, "It seems... it's too late."
Lin Yanwan picked up a mirror from the side, tilted her head, looked at the faint marks on the back of her neck, and said irritably, "If my dad sees this, you're dead."
She untied her hair tie, and her neat ponytail fell down, subtly covering the hickeys, but upon closer inspection, a trace could still be seen.
"That's true, but I'll do it again next time," Jiang Xia said shamelessly.
"Okay, you can edit the video yourself. I'll go try to add the voiceover to this part."
The two switched places, and Lin Yanwan took her guitar and left the bedroom.
The reason why the voice acting in Tom and Jerry is so excellent is not only because there is a professional symphony orchestra, but also because the music can perfectly match the scene and fully express the characters' inner emotions.
However, in her home, besides a piano and a guitar, there was only a violin. To get closer to the sound effects of the original work, different instruments had to be used in the same scene.
However, this didn't stump her. If she didn't have a drum set, she would turn upside down the plastic buckets and basins at home, and she could also tap the rim of the bowls with chopsticks to make the clanging sounds. If she wanted it to be even crisper, she could just use a stainless steel spoon.
Moreover, musical instruments can naturally simulate each other's sound effects, so unless you're particularly looking for perfection, the piano and violin you have at home are sufficient.
She placed her phone horizontally on the piano, watching Jerry struggling to run away with his tail pinned down by Tom. After thinking for a moment, she tried pressing a key, producing a light and cheerful sound...
Listening to the various sound effects constantly coming from the living room, Jiang Xia couldn't help but smile faintly.
If he were to do the voice acting, it would probably just be a bunch of random noises that wouldn't convey the character's emotions at all. But it's a different story when it's done by Lin Yanwan, a professional musician.
She understands how to combine instruments and knows how to express emotions through music. Although she may not achieve the perfect effect of the original work, she can at least be considered excellent.
Moreover, this will make Lin Yanwan feel that "she is very important". Her role is not to add icing on the cake, but to provide help in times of need. Without her, this animation really cannot work.
Time passed by, and Lin Xiaoman finally finished her homework. She looked at her sister, who had been practicing the piano diligently since the beginning, occasionally producing a funny-sounding tune.
But she really wasn't interested in music; drawing was much more fun. She was happy if she could successfully draw the images in her mind onto her notebook.
Remembering that her sister had said that Brother Jiang Xia was very good at drawing, Lin Xiaoman secretly took drawing paper and a pen and sneaked into her sister's room.
"Brother Jiang Xia~ I've finished my homework."
"Hmm, Xiaoman is great."
Jiang Xia stared intently at the screen, constantly adjusting the screen parameters with the mouse and keyboard.
"Brother Jiang Xia, you just said that you would play with Xiao Man after I finish my homework."
"All right……"
He sighed softly, subconsciously saving the already edited footage, and turned to look at his sister-in-law.
"What does Xiaoman want to play?"
"Drawing!" Lin Xiaoman stood on tiptoe, holding up her drawing paper and pen, and said, "Xiaoman likes to draw!"
Jiang Xia smiled and couldn't help but recall the time his sister-in-law stayed at his house in his previous life, during which he had indeed taught her a lot of painting skills.
"What a coincidence, brother also likes to draw. What would you like to draw, Xiaoman?"
She tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Big dog!"
"No problem, Xiaoman, keep an eye on things..."
He pulled his sister-in-law onto his lap, grabbed her hand holding the pen, and the pen tip smoothly left the first arc on the drawing paper.
After a while, the outline on the drawing paper gradually became clear, and a憨厚 (honest and simple) bulldog wearing a collar appeared on the paper.
Lin Xiaoman kept her eyes wide open the whole time.
"Is this a big dog that Xiaoman drew?"
"Yes, Xiaoman is really amazing!"
"Brother Jiang Xia, does this big dog have a name? What's it called?"
He gently patted his sister-in-law's head and said softly, "Its name is Spike. Soon, Xiaoman will see what it looks like on TV."
Jiang Xia pointed to Tom and Jerry on the screen and continued, "Some very interesting things will happen between it, this cat, and this mouse."
"Oh!" Lin Xiaoman nodded as if she understood, her eyes already filled with anticipation.
Although she had never seen him on TV, since Brother Jiang Xia said he would appear soon, then he definitely would!
Just then, the sound of a door opening came from outside.
"Is Xiaoman home? Mom is back."
...
(My family member tested positive, please take good care of yourselves.)
