This phenomenon is common in rural areas, so Qin Yuanyao didn't continue the topic.
While she was chatting with Grandma Sun, Chi Baiyi finished weaving another lantern.
This time, the lanterns he made were just as good as those made by Grandma Sun.
"Great!" Grandma Sun praised repeatedly, "Young man, you are so skillful."
Chi Baiyi smiled faintly as a sign of politeness.
Chi Nai took the lantern that Chi Baiyi had woven, looked it over from left to right, and gave Chi Baiyi a thumbs up: "Dad, you're amazing!"
Chi Baiyi's smile widened, clearly enjoying his daughter's praise.
Chi Cheese cheered herself up.
With a dad who's so amazing, she can't let him down!
She wants to weave lots of little lanterns and sell them for lots of money!
Chi Cheese picked up a palm leaf and was about to continue weaving when she suddenly hissed.
Although palm leaves are not particularly sharp, they are especially useful for children's delicate skin.
Chi Nai had just been careless when a palm leaf cut her finger.
Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao both anxiously came over to check on her injuries.
Fortunately, the palm leaf only made a shallow cut on her index finger.
Grandma Sun also checked Chi Nai's hand and asked her, "Does it hurt?"
Chi Nai shook her head sweetly, "It doesn't hurt."
Grandma Sun affectionately patted her head: "You're such a brave little girl."
She said to Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao, "I think it's best if you two learn it. Don't let the little kids learn it. They're too young and could easily get scratched."
Chi Baiyi also had the same idea.
Anyway, the program's requirement was for children to actively participate. Now that Chi Cheese has participated, it can be considered that the program's requirement has been fulfilled.
"Go outside and play with your little sister from earlier," Chi Baiyi said to Chi Naozi.
Chi Nai wanted to contribute by weaving more lanterns, but she wasn't very good at it.
And Mom doesn't seem to know how to do it either...
“Okay,” Chi Naozi agreed, then instructed her father, “Dad, now that you’ve learned it, you should weave more, don’t let Sister Qin weave too much.”
Chi Baiyi: "..."
[Hahaha, CEO Chi's expression is hilarious!]
[Chi Zong: This little darling is letting the wind in, isn't she?]
The little girl with the leaky coat has already run out to play with Ding Hua.
Ding Hua was playing with a bamboo-woven centipede on the ground by herself.
Seeing Chi Cheese arrive, he looked up at her.
"Can I play with you?" Chi Nao asked her in a soft, sweet voice.
Ding Hua gave a bright smile: "Okay, I'm so bored playing by myself."
Chi Cheese smiled happily and squatted down to play with her.
"Your grandma wove this centipede, didn't she? Your grandma is amazing, she can wove anything."
Ding Hua said proudly, "Yes, my grandma made them. My grandma is super talented; she made so many for me as toys. Do you want some? I can give you a few."
"Really?" Chi Nao's eyes sparkled.
Ding Hua nodded seriously: "Yes, you are very beautiful. I would like to give you a few more."
Chi Nao smiled shyly and said in a sweet voice, "You're very pretty too."
Seeing the two children praising each other amicably, the live chat was filled with laughter.
Kids' friendships are so sweet!
[Look at the storyboard, Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi are starting to look pretty good together now.]
It turned out that after Chi Nai ran out to play, Grandma Sun said she would heat up some steamed buns and dumplings for everyone to eat, and went to the kitchen, leaving Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi in the room to continue weaving lanterns.
Chi Baiyi is getting more and more skilled at it now, and can make one in just a few minutes.
However, the palm leaves in Qin Yuanyao's hands seemed to have a mind of their own; no matter how she folded, strung, or pressed them, they were not right.
Qin Yuanyao looked dejected, unsure of how to make up a story.
She clearly followed Grandma Sun's instructions to make it up, so why couldn't she make it right?
Suddenly, a hand with distinct knuckles reached out and pointed to two palm leaves, saying, "Put this one down and fold this one up."
"Put this piece down, fold this piece up?" Qin Yuanyao followed Chi Baiyi's instructions.
"Put this one down too, and fold this one up as well," Chi Baiyi said, pointing to the two palm leaves.
Qin Yuanyao frowned and followed Chi Baiyi's instructions step by step, looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy, as if she were weaving a state secret rather than a lantern.
On the contrary, Chi Baiyi remained calm and composed, his cold black eyes fixed on Qin Yuanyao's fingers, ready to give instructions as needed.
A man and a woman, one relaxed and one tense, though separated by a little distance, still created a subtle sense of ambiguity.
My urge to ship any particular couple is kicking in again.
Ah~ what a stunning scene~ it looks like a movie scene.
[President Chi's deep, calm voice is so soothing, it's like my ears are pregnant!! I really want to be guided by President Chi like that, waaaaah!]
Actually, in terms of looks—and I mean looks, just looking at them purely from an appearance standpoint—Chi Zong and Qin Yuanyao are somewhat well-matched.
Under Chi Baiyi's instructions, Qin Yuanyao finally made a decent-looking lantern.
She held the lantern in both hands, looking it over from left to right, and was overjoyed: "I finally made it~ You're so amazing."
A flicker of emotion flashed in Chi Baiyi's eyes, a hint of being moved passing through them quickly.
He quickly regained his composure, aloofly creating some distance between himself and Qin Yuanyao, and focused on making his own little lantern.
Viewers who refused to ship Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi as a couple became active in the live chat.
Some people just won't change their ways; they'll ship any couple no matter what.
