Chapter 359: The Little One Looks Like You

“I’ve fed them!”

Selina’s excited voice fell into my ears, “They’re so well-behaved.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked up, her back against the big tree, without a stump underneath her, making her sit a fair bit shorter than Selina who was sitting as well.

Her legs were comfortably curled up, a pair of cool eyes watching Selina’s joyous face with a faint look, the sharpness hidden in her gaze quietly retracted when Selina looked over.

“They are well-behaved, you should feed them more, they might be hungry.”

“Ah?

Really?

Does this count as an extra meal for the little lamb?” Selina asked, her eyes wide open.

Her exquisite face was very expressive, with the light here close and the atmosphere soft, making her look charming and cute, as if she were untouched by the world.

Nan Jiaojiao’s lips slowly curved up, her eyes expressing a subtle smile, “I don’t know, why don’t you ask them?”

“You’re teasing me!”

Selina didn’t really fall for her trick, but she got down from the stump anyway and petted the lamb’s head.

“By the way, when you came, I felt like I’ve seen you somewhere before; I kept feeling like I’d seen you, but only now it dawned on me.

This estate has so many paintings, hand-drawn, sketches, as well as small drawings on trees or walls or anywhere else, the more I look, the more they resemble you.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked up, “Is that so?”

“Don’t believe me?”

Selina gave all the vegetable roots to the lamb, clapped her hands, and rummaged in her pocket, pulling out two small ceramic figurines.

“Look, this morning Hanks and I went riding in the back mountain, and I saw some trees with small animals hanging on them, but this one, it had two little dolls hanging, do you think this girl looks like you?”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t need to look; she had made them.

To be exact, she had made two of them; the boy she had made to resemble Nan Jue, and the girl was shaped by Nan Jue.

She was about seven years old at the time, the gift intended for her little uncle’s birthday, and she even had her grandpa ask a professional master to teach her, ambitiously wanting to sculpt a full-bodied figure.

However, her patience only lasted long enough to shape the head.

When she tried to sculpt the torso, Nan Jue was already thirteen and had abs; she found those bread slices to be too difficult and gave up.

When it was time to do the arms, her patience had completely run out and she was caught by Nan Jue.

He glanced at the half-finished piece she had sculpted, didn’t get angry, but smiled instead, tapped her head, and asked her if she wanted to make a real-life totem of him to worship every day.

Nan Jiaojiao snatched it over, intending to destroy it, but Nan Jue didn’t let her have it.

Instead, he sat down next to her, talked about the philosophy of life, and meanwhile made one of her, also only half a body but smiling very happily.

Then he made two baskets, put the little figures inside, and when the final product was fired, he took her up the mountain to plant a sapling and hung the baskets on the branches.

“What a coincidence that I was able to reach this tree, I thought it was too cute so I brought it back,” Selina’s voice timely rose.

Cold light flashed in Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes, gone in an instant, as the coolness faded away bit by bit, and she slowly spoke, “It’s really beautiful, can you give it to me?”

Selina was startled, reluctant, her hand even recoiled a bit, but after hesitating she painfully agreed, “Well okay, I’ll give it to you, but you have to give me another gift tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

Nan Jiaojiao reached out, took it, and Selina also leaned in, staring at her from a close distance, “You’re really beautiful; I almost thought this little figure was you.

So, does that mean President Bo brought you here because of this?”
