“You want me to give birth to your child? In your dreams! In the future, you are not allowed to teach Xiao Gu. He has been led astray by you!” Ye Qingcheng said, then got up and prepared to go back to her room.
Qin Lu then picked up the drawing board and continued to draw. Before he could start, he saw Ye Qingcheng come back, so he hurriedly closed the drawing. “What’s wrong?”
Seeing Qin Lu on guard against her, Ye Qingcheng’s face suddenly became serious. “What are you drawing?”
“Nothing?”
“Nothing, why are you holding the brush? Quickly tell me, what are you drawing?”
“I am drawing my wife and child.”
“Your wife? When did you have a wife and child?” Ye Qingcheng’s face instantly changed. Regarding Qin Lu’s origin, she was not clear. She only knew that he came from a place called Earth; as for where that place was, she had no idea, and whether Qin Lu was really married or whether he had a wife, she was also not clear.
However, with his sloppy appearance, there shouldn’t be any girl willing to marry him! When she heard him say that he was drawing his wife and child, Ye Qingcheng’s heart felt an indescribable pain.
Sensing Ye Qingcheng’s change, Qin Lu raised his eyebrows. “I already have a family; my child can already talk and calls me father every time!”
“Well, then I won’t disturb you.” Ye Qingcheng said this and turned around to leave. However, the moment she turned around, she suddenly felt her eyes were sore and had the urge to cry.
A smile appeared on Qin Lu’s face as he watched her leave, and then he picked up the brush and drawing book and continued to draw.
After Ye Qingcheng left, Xiao Gu hurriedly ran over. “Daddy, are you done drawing?”
“En, almost done. What’s wrong, Xiao Gu?”
“Daddy, you have to make Xiao Gu more beautiful.”
“Okay, okay, okay. Daddy knows.”
“Xiao Gu, go play with your mother, okay? Wait until Father finishes drawing, then I’ll call you.”
“En, en, en. Then I’ll go find mother.” Xiao Gu happily smiled, then ran toward her mother’s room. Xiao Gu bounced and quickly ran into Qingcheng’s room. “Mother, mother.”
“Eh, Mother, what’s wrong? Are you crying?”
“No, no, Mother didn’t cry. Just now, some sand flew into my eyes.”
“Mother, why aren’t you accompanying father outside?”
“Your father is painting. He doesn’t need me to accompany him!” Ye Qingcheng was a bit irritated. Qin Lu was drawing his family; what was the point of her accompanying him? She admitted that her heart was not that big!“Mother, Father’s painting is very beautiful. Don’t you want to go take a look?”
“Why is it beautiful?” Ye Qingcheng’s tone was somewhat unhappy. He didn’t draw me, so what’s there to look at?
“Mother, Father drew you first. Do you really not want to take a look?”
“Draw me first? Isn’t… isn’t the girl he was drawing his wife?” Ye Qingcheng stared blankly. Could it be that the wife Qin Lu was talking about was her? Was the family he was talking about referring to her and Xiao Gu? “Little Gu, did your father draw the three of us?” Ye Qingcheng hastily asked.
“That’s right. Daddy drew mother first, then Xiao Gu, and finally himself!”
“So it’s like that!” In an instant, a smile appeared on her face!vSo she misunderstood him!
“Little Gu, let’s go.”
“Mother, where are we going?”
“To watch your father draw.”
“Ah, didn’t Mother say there was nothing to see?”
“Mother wants to see it now.” Ye Qingcheng’s face revealed a smile.
“Okay.” Little Gu replied, then jumped onto Ye Qingcheng’s shoulder. The mother and son then walked outside.
Back to Qin Lu, after he finished painting, he quietly admired it. Seeing Ye Qingcheng and Little Gu coming over, he hurriedly covered the painting. “Why did you come over again?”
“Can’t I come over to see you draw?”
“I’m not drawing you; what’s there to see?” Qin Lu laughed.
“I want to see what you’re drawing. You don’t even care about Little Gu!”
“Uh, are you sure you want to see?”
“I’m sure. Give me the painting.”
“Okay, here you go.” Qin Lu laughed, then handed over a piece of paper.
Ye Qingcheng grabbed it, looking at the painting with anticipation, but as soon as she saw the painting, her face immediately darkened. It was because the person in the painting was not her, but an extremely ugly woman. The woman was holding a small beast that looked somewhat similar to Xiao Gu.
“Qin Lu, what are you drawing? It’s so ugly.”“What do you think?” Qin Lu’s face held a smile. Actually, this was not the original painting he did. If he wanted to paint something like this, he would have finished it long ago. He guessed that Ye Qingcheng would come to see the painting, so he deliberately used this ugly painting to tease her.
“Qin Lu, you’re a scoundrel!” After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she angrily tore the painting to shreds. Last time, Qin Lu drew a woman from Earth who was very beautiful. Now, he drew her so ugly, he must have done it on purpose. No, he didn’t even put any effort into it.
Seeing Ye Qingcheng leave in anger, Qin Lu couldn’t help but laugh.
Xiao Gu saw her mother angrily return to her room. Little Gu followed her and questioned, “Mother, why are you angry again?”
“Little Gu, your father treats Mother like this; do you think Mother will not get angry?”
“Mother, Father was just teasing you. The painting he showed you wasn’t the real one.”
“Little Gu, don’t coax your mother. Your father doesn’t care about your mother at all!”
“Mother, don’t think like that. How about you wait here? I’ll go and bring the painting Father finished for you to see.”
“No, I don’t want to see it.”
“Little Gu, go play. Mother is going to cultivate.” After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Little Gu. She directly sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.
Seeing that his mother had entered a meditative state, Little Gu did not disturb her and quickly ran to the small pavilion outside. “Father, mother is angry again!”
“Don’t care about her.”
“Father, what are you doing?”
“I’m framing the painting of our family and hang it up after.”
“Then, when can you finish framing it?”
“Soon, wait a little longer.”
“Oh.”
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Lu’s finished framing the painting. “Alright, I’ve finally finished a family portrait.” Yes, this was his “family portrait” in this world. Although a painting was not that important in the world of cultivators, if you want to remember a person, you only need to use spiritual qi and transform it into the figure of the person you want.
But Qin Lu still wanted to use something to record their special “family”. After all, he did not belong to this world and would leave sooner or later. At that time, he and Ye Qingcheng would never be able to see each other again.
Their child, Little Gu, was also the same. Therefore, this was the best thing to commemorate their family.
“Father, let Little Gu take a look, okay?”
“Okay.” Qin Lu smiled and then put the painting on the table, and Little Gu jumped onto the table. When it landed on the table, Little Gu stretched out its little paw and directly put Qin Lu’s painting into its storage ring.
“Hey, Little Gu, What are you doing?”
However, Little Gu did not respond to Qin Lu’s words. Instead, it quickly ran toward his mother’s room.
“Hey, this little guy! It really knows how to coax people. I reckon that once he is all grown up, there will be many spirit beasts that will be coaxed by him!”
