The four children were having a great time, mainly because of a rope; it was brightly colored and very eye-catching.
Seeing that the four of them were having a good time, Shao Ning slowly gathered around and soon joined in.
Chu Tong stood at a distance. The little girl was very restrained by her mother, and her liveliness was somewhat diminished. Watching her younger siblings playing happily, she could only watch from afar, her eyes filled with envy.
Jiang Shuwen observed the children's demeanor. Shao Ming displayed the qualities of a caring older brother, looking after his younger siblings and possessing his own opinions.
