Chapter 29: Personal Disciple
Li Yanjing painted quickly. He put down his brush, picked up the painted yellow paper and handed it to Li Zhi, "It's done."
Li Zhi reached out and took it, lowered his eyes to look at the runes on the yellow paper, and found that they were exactly the same, without any difference.
This little carrot head is really smart.
Li Yanjing looked at her with his dark, shining eyes. "Li Zhi, can you teach me now?"
Li Zhi nodded, "Sure, little Taoist."
Li Yanjing's eyes lit up.
"But there is one more condition." Li Zhi said again.
"What are the conditions?" Li Yanjing asked.
Li Zhi stroked the yellow paper he had drawn on, his eyelashes fluttering. "Call me mother, and I will allow you to become my disciple."
Li Yanjing bit her lip. "Is it that simple?"
"If you want to pay the tuition, it's not impossible. Considering our mother-son relationship, I can give you a 50% discount." Li Zhi said in a serious tone.
“…”
"How much is the tuition?" Li Yanjing asked.
Li Zhi raised an eyebrow, "Fifty dollars."
"Then when I have money to pay tuition, I will become your disciple and learn how to draw talismans." Li Yanjing said.
Li Zhi put down the yellow paper in her hand and said, "When you have money, it will be a different story. You may miss this opportunity forever. I'm just in a good mood now."
Li Yanjing lowered her eyes and was silent for a few seconds before she slowly said, "Mom...Mom."
Li Zhi curled the corners of her lips and reached out to touch his head. "Do you really want to learn to draw talismans from me?"
Li Yanjing raised his eyes and looked at her again, nodding solemnly, "I think it's very interesting."
A faint smile appeared in Li Zhi's deep eyes, "Alright, from now on you will be my direct disciple!"
Li Yanjing hummed softly, his eyes falling on the painted amulet on the table, and asked, "Do you want me to give it to him now?"
"Wait, I'll send him a message to ask if he's asleep." Li Zhi said as she reached out to pick up her phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Zhou Xian.
Li Zhi: [Are you asleep?]
Zhou Xian: [No, what's wrong, Master Li?]
Li Zhi: [It's okay. I've already drawn your ten amulets. I'll have my son deliver them to you now.]
Zhou Xian: [Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Master Li!]
Li Zhi didn't reply. She looked up at Li Yanjing and said, "Take it and give it to him now."
Li Yanjing responded, reached out and picked up the ten amulets that were placed together, got off the bed, and left the ward.
…
Jiang Ruyun thought Li Yanjing was bored, so she asked someone to buy a bunch of toys that boys liked and send them to him.
At this time, he was sitting on the sofa, chatting with Li Zhi and playing with Li Yanjing with building blocks.
After playing for a while, there was a sudden knock on the ward door.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyun put down the building blocks in her hand, stood up from the sofa, and walked over to open the door.
She looked at Gu Yu standing outside the door and was a little surprised that she didn't ask him to come over after school.
"Ayu, why are you here?"
Gu Yu followed her into the ward and casually said, "Well, I just stopped by to take a look."
"Your school doesn't seem to be on the way here." Jiang Ruyun said.
Gu Yu coughed lightly, "Ah, really? I thought it was on the way..."
Jiang Ruyun saw through his thoughts at a glance, smiled, and glanced at Li Zhi on the hospital bed, "If you want to come see your sister and your nephew, just say it directly, why are you making up this excuse?"
Being exposed in front of others like this, Gu Yu felt a little embarrassed, "Mom...you..."
Jiang Ruyun raised her hand and patted his back, without saying anything else, she walked to the sofa and sat down again.
Her eyes fell on the building blocks that had already been built on the coffee table, and she smiled and said, "Our Yan Jing is really amazing. He built it so quickly."
Li Yanjing turned to look at her and said, "That's because my grandma is with me."
Jiang Ruyun patted his head and said, "How about we build another one?"
Li Yanjing nodded, "Okay."
Gu Yu didn't know why he came here, but for some unknown reason he asked the driver to take him here.
He retracted his gaze from the sofa and looked at Li Zhi on the bed, scratching his face, "Sister..."
Li Zhi nodded, "Yeah."
After the greetings, silence fell between the brother and sister.
Gu Yu's brain was working rapidly. Just when he was about to find a topic, he heard a cell phone ringing in his ears, accompanied by Jiang Ruyun's voice.
"Ayu, come over and play with Yanjing. I'm going to answer a phone call."
"Oh, okay." Gu Yu responded, turned around and walked to the seat next to Li Yanjing and sat down.
Li Yanjing glanced at him, then quickly looked away and continued to build the blocks in his hand.
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows, "You're just pretending to be air. Don't you know how to call for help?"
Li Yanjing continued to move his hands, "Uncle."
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. He thought it would be difficult to get this kid to call him. Then he reacted and responded immediately.
He paused, then suddenly thought of something. He looked up at Li Zhi on the bed and asked, "By the way, sister, is he in school?"
Li Zhi looked up from her phone. "No, he refused to go to school."
"It's normal. When I was five years old, I didn't want to go to school either. My mother beat me up and forced me to go to school." Gu Yu said.
Li Zhi nodded seriously, "That's a good idea. After this summer, I'll send him to school."
Li Yanjing raised his head, "?"
Gu Yu noticed his expression, suppressed his laughter, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "After you go to school for two days, you will experience how happy it is to go to school."
Li Yanjing turned to look at him again and smiled slightly, "Uncle, since you think going to school is a happy thing, then you can go for me. Kindergarten must be much easier and more comfortable than high school."
"And with your IQ, Uncle, you're definitely more suited to learning kindergarten knowledge. After all, you don't have to use your brain."
“…”
Gu Yu's eyes twitched. "Sister, are you sure your son is five years old and not fifteen?"
"Yes, five years old, absolutely." Li Zhi replied.
"I've never seen such an eloquent five-year-old child. Sister, how did you teach him?" Gu Yu asked curiously.
"No need to teach, my son's IQ is there." Li Zhi said slowly.
Gu Yu had nothing to say.
"What's wrong? What are you talking about?" Jiang Ruyun came back after answering the phone.
Gu Yu leaned on the sofa in a frivolous manner, "They say your eldest grandson is smart."
Jiang Ruyun sat down on the other side of Li Yanjing. "That's not true. When you were five years old, all you did was eat."
Gu Yu sat up straight, "Bu'er, why are you attacking me when I was five years old again?"
Jiang Ruyun glanced at him sideways, "What attack? I'm just telling the truth."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the ward door.
Gu Yu heard the sound, stood up from the sofa, walked over and opened the door.
He looked at Gu Yanran standing outside the door, and was slightly stunned. Then he reacted and said, "Sister, why are you here?"
