44. Artist Dad 11
Cheng Ye was flipping through his high school textbook quickly in his room. When he reached the last page, he closed the book and threw it on the table. He pulled his hair angrily and sighed.
He was panicking because his father suddenly wanted him to return to school. The problem was, he'd already been out of school for two years and had almost forgotten everything he'd learned from textbooks. How would he prepare for next year's college entrance exam?
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in"
After the door opened, Cheng Jiu came in with a stack of books. Cheng Ye's mouth twitched: "Dad, don't tell me you brought me elementary school books too?" The box on the ground was full of textbooks for junior high school, high school, and high school. He couldn't possibly bring him elementary school books too, could he? He only dropped out of school for two years, not go back to the age of two.
Cheng Jiu placed the book on Cheng Ye's desk and said, "No, this is a workbook. I ordered a complete set of workbooks for all the required exam subjects for you, so you can practice with the workbooks when you're bored."
Oh my god, thank you for thinking about me so much and finding me some 'toys' because you were afraid I would be bored, Daddy!
Cheng Ye: "Dad, I'm not bored, really. In addition to preparing for the exam every day, I also have to complete my Chinese painting homework. I really am not bored." He looked at me sincerely.
Cheng Jiu was silent for a moment, then said, "It's okay. Just keep it ready and play it when you're bored."
Your expression doesn’t say that! Cheng Ye sighed.
Before Cheng Ye finished sighing, Cheng Jiu continued: "But I heard that people preparing for the exam like to brush up on the 53, how about we buy a set too?" Who knows, the effect of brushing up on the 53 might be better.
No, I really don't need that! Right now I just want to finish reviewing this box of books. I can wait a few months for May 3rd and other things.
Cheng Ye: "No need, Dad. It's too early to talk about May 3rd now. Besides, aren't we planning to move? It will be very troublesome to move a lot of review materials."
Cheng Jiu looked at his son's forced smile and said, "Don't feel pressured. Just do your best. You don't have to get into a prestigious university. And since you're studying fine arts, your academic scores don't need to be that high."
Cheng Ye: ...
If you say that, I wouldn't take it seriously. If I really went to any random college, wouldn't you be laughed at by the whole country? Oh, the son of the painting master Cheng Jiuling only got into a small college... I feel embarrassed just thinking about it. As Dad's only apprentice, I can copy a pot of flowers in a realistic way, well, a very realistic way. At least I have to get into a good university with a fine arts major, right?
Just, Cheng Ye looked at
There was a box of books on the floor and a pile of exercise books on the table. I was so upset that I wanted to use my head to block it out. This sudden fatherly love was heavy!
In reality, he was somewhat happy. Two years earlier, his mother had fallen seriously ill, and despite spending all their savings, he still couldn't save her. Losing his only family, he felt hopeless and helpless. But even after the pain, life had to go on. To earn a living, he repeatedly skipped classes and eventually dropped out. His homeroom teacher approached him, offering financial aid, but he refused. He felt deeply depressed, feeling that the world was bustling, while he was alone.
Now his father urged him to continue studying, and it was as if a switch had been triggered in his heart, and he accepted it without a struggle. Of course, he would be happier if there were not so many textbooks.
When his father saw that he didn't show any obvious struggle, he helped him collect the box of textbooks in just one day. His enthusiasm was completely unlike his usual slowness.
Seeing that Cheng Jiu seemed to be still considering buying him a bunch of Wu San, Cheng Ye quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Dad, didn't you say that the next section of 'Yejie' is the sect section? How is the painting going now?"
"Hmm," Cheng Jiu thought for a moment and said, "'Leaf Realm' is based on the background of immortal cultivation, so it's better to draw the sect section as soon as possible. The Leaf Realm bracelet will be sold soon, and when that time comes, a large number of trial-takers will enter the trial, and the continent will also expand accordingly."
Cheng Ye: "So how is the sect section drawing going now?" He asked excitedly. He also wanted to experience the feeling of cultivating immortals. It should be very cool.
Cheng Jiu glanced at his son, whose eyes were shining brightly, and said, "It can be completed before the Yejie bracelet takes action. Also, you should prepare well for the exam."
What does that mean? Cheng Ye was alert: "Dad, you promised me that I could enter the 'Leaf Realm' trial during my rest time." Don't tell him that he can't even arrange his sleep time freely? Otherwise, he will get angry with him.
Cheng Jiu felt that this was not what he meant, and said, "I am just reminding you that as a candidate, your eyes should light up when you look at the textbook instead of when you hear the word 'Ye Jie'."
Cultivating immortals, who wouldn’t have their eyes light up after hearing this?
***
Anyun District is a factory area, and the residential area where Cheng Jiu and his friends live is mostly filled with factory buildings. People here leave early and return late. The main supermarket is a bit far, a 17- or 18-minute walk. While there are smaller supermarkets and small markets, Cheng Jiu still prefers to shop at the big ones.
Cheng Jiu was walking back with a big shopping bag. He met no one along the way. Occasionally one or two people passed by on the wide street.
As Cheng Jiu walked, he pondered where to buy a house after the profits from selling the first batch of bracelets. He'd definitely have to buy one close to his son's school. Minzu University is the best art school in City C, so why not buy there? As for whether his son could get in, that was probably his son's concern.
Suddenly, in the distance came the sound of rapid brakes and the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground, followed by the thud of cars colliding. Cheng Jiu was startled. Was it a car accident?
He ran forward quickly, and soon saw a stopped truck in the distance. When he got closer, he saw clearly that there was a car under the truck.
Without time to think, Cheng Jiu immediately put down the shopping bag and rushed forward to check. He roughly determined that there were two people in the car and only the driver of the truck, and they were all unconscious.
The truck was crushing the front of the car. Cheng Jiu took one look and knew the driver was dead, likely crushed to dust. But the people in the back of the car were probably still alive. He quickly picked up a large rock from the roadside and smashed the car window open. Looking inside, he saw a little girl, about five or six years old, unconscious, her head and face covered in blood. She must have been hit by something.
Cheng Jiu carried the little girl out and put her on the side of the road, then turned around and ran back to drag the truck driver down and put him aside in the same way. The truck driver was only knocked unconscious by the head injury but not seriously. He turned around to check on the little girl and called 110 and 120 while checking on her.
The little girl opened her eyes in a daze at this time. The serious injury made her dizzy and she could not see clearly. She only vaguely saw someone waving hands in front of her and asking her if she felt uncomfortable.
"Head, dizzy," she said in a weak voice.
Cheng Jiu took out a towel from the shopping bag and covered the wound on the little girl's head. He said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Uncle is here."
The voice was gentle and ethereal, like an elf speaking in her ear.
"Uncle, uncle, will I die?" It seemed as if she was trying to say this with all her strength.
Cheng Jiu said softly, "No." He looked around, stood up, and broke off a branch, then bent it into a length similar to a pen. He then knelt beside the little girl, brushing her hair aside with one hand and holding the branch like a brush with the other.
His handsome face was serious, and his aura suddenly changed. He raised his hand, used the branch as a brush, and gently drew a few strokes in the air. Then he gently touched the little girl's forehead. The soul that was originally escaping from the little girl slowly returned to her body.
Seeing the little girl sleeping
After it was over, Cheng Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Jiu had no idea what a remarkable child he had saved. Decades later, this child repeatedly led a group of diplomats to defeat those foreign diplomats who, under the pretext of human progress, pressured Country Z to release Master Cheng Jiu's posthumous manuscripts. His sharp words were like a knife, each one drawing blood, and his commanding demeanor intimidated foreign foreign ministries.
After the 120 and 110 police arrived, Cheng Jiu called his son to report the news and then followed the police to record his statement.

Over the past two weeks, 'Leaf World' has become a massive presence online, with reports about it appearing everywhere. Initially, netizens were scolding those who had tried the free trial, saying they shouldn't get too excited, threatening to sneak through the internet and make their parents unrecognizable. Now, they're begging those who have tried the free trial to write more posts about 'Leaf World', just to give them a taste of the action.
As for Guobaba, they initially flocked to Guobaba's official account all day, saying, "You're cold, heartless, and unreasonable." Then, the first day you didn't reply, I missed you. The second day, I missed you. The third day, I missed you... And then, "Guobaba, I love you so much it hurts!"
By now, they have been deeply hurt by Guo's coldness and ruthlessness. They don't ask Guo, the scumbag who only flirts but never marries, to change his mind. They just ask him not to forget them, not to forget them who are waiting for them at home. They will wait until the end of time...
Just when the drama-loving netizens compared themselves to Wang Xian’s wife who had been waiting in the cold kiln for eighteen years, and cried and begged for status under Guo Dad’s official account every day, Guo Dad finally showed up!
The National AA official account has released another announcement. The Leaf Bracelet will be officially available for purchase in ten days, priced at 10,000 yuan. Buyers must present their ID card, and purchases are limited to one. Purchases will open at 8:00 PM that day. PS: Please note that the Leaf Bracelet automatically recognizes the owner upon first use, so existing owners will not be able to purchase a second one. Please spread the word.
[Oh shit, oh shit!! Finally, it’s finally here!!!]
[See? I waited and waited, and it wasn't in vain! Father, I knew you wouldn't really abandon me, you wouldn't really abandon your dear child like me!]
I cried! I'm not talking about crying out of sadness. I cried out of joy, intoxication, and enjoyment at the huge surprise that Daddy Guo brought me. So, I cried.
"Dad, it's only ten thousand, I can handle it! Although my wallet protested, I retorted: You only lost ten thousand yuan, but I can't lose my entire love... Ugh, it's my entire dream!! My dream of cultivating immortality!"
The author has something to say: Please collect it, thank you.
