âSure!â
Baby Chu got excited initially, but he suddenly thought of something and hesitated!
âWhat if⦠they donât want to come?â
âWhy wouldnât they?â Chu He smiled. âIf you invite them sincerely, why wouldnât you want to come? Baby Chu, arenât you fond of drawing? You can make an invitation for every child and invite them to your birthday party!â
Baby Chu nodded. Chu He took him to the stationery shop and bought watercolor and brushes, colored pencils, and hard paper cards. When they got home and finished dinner, Baby Chu and Chu He started their huge project.
âLetâs make an invitation card for Shengâer first!â As Baby Chu thought about this, he started to take action.
However, what about the invitation letter?
Baby Chu was stalled for a moment by this difficulty.
Chu He suggested to the boy, âYouâre really good at drawing, arenât you? Why donât you draw Shengâer, then draw yourself, then write some words, and that would complete it!
Inspired, Baby Chu picked up the pencil and started drawing. By the time Butler Fu walked in, the boy had finished drawing Shengâer.
He was extremely talented in drawing, and although the drawing was not as realistic as a sketch, the cartoon version of the little girl had a pair of wide, glistening eyes, a small nose, and cherry lips. He drew her wearing a beautiful dress and standing in front of a beautiful castle. Baby Chu added himself into the picture, and the two of them holding hands with blooming flowers around.
Childish romance.
Chu He silently swore,?this little fellow is going to be really popular with the girls when he grows up.
âItâs done!â Baby Chu showed the completed invitation card to Chu He and Butler Fu. The latter was dumbfounded.
âBaby Chu is really good at drawing!?â
âUh huh!â
âHave you had drawing lessons before?â
Chu He shook her head. âNo, he seems to have a natural talent for it!â
Butler Fu laughed. âThat means he inherited Old Masterâs talent!â
Chu He was stunned for a moment. âIs Gu Jinglian very good at drawing?â
âOld Master is good at traditional Chinese painting. When he was young, one of his landscape paintings was exhibited at the gallery. It was bought at a high price of 100,000 yuan.â
Baby Chu was very surprised to hear this. âDaddy is so good at drawing?â
âOld Master excels at calligraphy too.â Gu Jinglian definitely had the most beautiful writing that Butler Fu had ever seen. The calligraphy strokes were bold and powerful, like a dance between a dragon and phoenix. He had not seen a better calligrapher than Gu Jinglian, including famous calligraphers.
âIf thatâs the case, letâs get Daddy to write for me!â As Baby Chu said this, he took the card and ran to Gu Jinglianâs room.
The man was reading a book when Baby Chu placed the invitation card in front of him and demanded, âDaddy, Daddy! Help me write a few words!â
ââ¦â
This little fellow always had a way to interrupt him. But what could Gu Jinglian do? He picked up the invitation card and saw the vivid cartoon drawing on it. For a moment, he was slightly taken aback.
âYou drew this?â
âUh huh! Baby Chuâs birthday is next month. This is an invitation card!â
Birthday? Gu Jinglian was reminded. Baby Chuâs birthday was indeed coming up next month. He picked up his fountain pen and asked, âWhat do you want me to write?â
âHmm⦠write âDear Shengâer, I really hope to see you at my birthday party!'â
After writing these words, Gu Jinglian handed the card back to the boy. Baby Chu took the invitation card from his father and looked at it. He, too, was impressed by Gu Jinglianâs elegant handwriting!
âDaddyâs handwriting is so beautiful!â
