Xing Chen had taken the drawing seriously, and every line was made with extreme detail.

The portrait of Huanhuan was vivid.

Clearly, he had grasped all the characteristics of Huanhuan and drawn them just right.

Huanhuan sighed to herself. This child was drawing for the first time, but he could already draw at this level. He was simply a child prodigy!

If he lived in modern society, he might be able to become a powerful painter in the future!

Huanhuan said slowly, “This is your first painting. You have to treasure it.”

Xing Chen nodded obediently. “Yes.”

The talc.u.m powder was easy to wipe away and was not conducive to long-term preservation. Hence, Huanhuan took out the bone knife and engraved the portrait on the stone slab.

Carving stones was a laborious task. After carving, Huanhuan felt that her entire right arm was extremely sore.

She returned the slate to Xing Chen and ma.s.saged her right arm. “Keep it well. Don’t lose it.”

“Yes!”

Xing Chen looked at the carvings on the slab, his amber eyes bright with happiness.

From then on, Xing Chen became obsessed with drawing.

Every day, other than planting and watering the plants, he would sit on the ground and draw.

Huanhuan would sometimes lean over to take a look and realize that this guy was drawing portraits. And they were naturally of her.

But Huanhuan didn’t think there was anything wrong. After all, there were only the two of them on this island. Xing Chen couldn’t even find a model if he wanted to. The only person who could be a model for him was her.

After Xing Chen finished each painting, he would carve it onto the stone slab with a bone knife.

He was even stronger than Huanhuan and could easily finish carving a portrait.

After Huanhuan realized this, she was very surprised.

However, when she was working, she subconsciously did all the heavy work and left the easy work to Xing Chen.

This child looked too thin. Coupled with his angel-like cute face, she could not bear to order him to do manual labor.

At this moment, Xing Chen was engrossed in drawing again.

Huanhuan sat alone in the bamboo forest and chatted with the system.

“Little Brat, what do you think of Xing Chen?”

The system said nothing.

Huanhuan sighed. “I feel like I’m taking care of a son.”

The system sighed. “I didn’t expect to already be a grandfather.”

Huanhuan: “…”

The system seemed to think that it was not exciting enough and continued leisurely, “Daughter, you have to be more careful. Xing Chen is not as simple as you think.”

Huanhuan craned her neck to look at the distant Xing Chen and said, “But I don’t think this child means any harm.”

“Would a bad person have the word ‘bad’ written on their forehead?!” The system was heartbroken. “Why did I give birth to such a stupid daughter?!”

Huanhuan sneered. “It’s genetic.”

“It’s my fault.”

‘Come on, let’s insult each other!’

…

Although the system had been obsessed with being a father recently and was getting more and more out of line, Huanhuan still listened to it.

She decided to find out more about Xing Chen.

When Xing Chen was done drawing, he picked up the bone knife. Huanhuan walked over.

Unsurprisingly, it was another portrait of her on the slab.

However, he had drawn her in a different posture and angle, but it was obvious that it was her.

Huanhuan took out a sweet fruit and wiped it on her body before chewing it with relish.

Xing Chen was very serious and was completely unaffected by the noise around him. His movements were very precise and smooth.

Huanhuan said as she ate, “You don’t have to draw people every time. You can try drawing flowers, plants, and trees.”

Without looking up, Xing Chen said, “You look better than flowers and trees.”

Oh my, what a sweet little angel!

Huanhuan swallowed the pulp in her mouth. “You can try drawing your parents. You’re so beautiful and cute. Your parents must be very good-looking too, right?”

Xing Chen still did not stop moving. “After the s.h.i.+pwreck, I was very frightened. There are many things I can’t remember clearly. I don’t remember what my parents look like either.”

His tone sounded calm as if there was no discomfort in it. Huanhuan could not continue to pry into his parents and family. She could only say sadly, “I’m sorry I brought up the topic of your parents.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Huanhuan took two bites of the sweet fruit and asked casually, “What does your beast form look like? You look so cute. Your beast form must be cute too, right?”

Xing Chen paused.

He looked up. His amber eyes seemed to be misty and wet. His voice was so soft that she could barely hear him.

“My beast form is ugly. People used to laugh at me for being ugly.”

Seeing that he was about to cry, Huanhuan quickly comforted him. “Ignore those people’s nonsense. You’re a very cute beast!”

Xing Chen asked with tears in his eyes, “Do you like me, then?”

“Yes, yes! Of course, I like you!”

Xing Chen smiled through her tears. “I like you too!”

Huanhuan stroked his head. Her short, curly gray hair was smoothed down a little. “Continue carving. I’ll go cook.”

“Yes, I’ll help you when I’m done.”

Huanhuan turned around and busied herself with cooking.

She stewed a pot of potatoes, then pulled the roasted peanuts out of the fire.

Huanhuan said as she ate the peanuts, “Little Brat, this child is too good at chatting. After circling around the topic for a long time, I didn’t find out anything.”

System 438 looked shrewd. “I figured that would happen.”

“Is there any way you can find out more about him?”

The system said, “Push him into the sea. He might transform into his beast form to survive.”

Huanhuan was so shocked that she dropped the peanuts on the ground. “F*ck, how dare you kill your grandson? You’re crazy!”

“He’s not your biological son anyway.”

“But I’m not your biological daughter!”

The system said sinisterly, “That’s why you have to be good to me. Otherwise, I’ll throw you into the sea one day.”

Huanhuan: “…”

‘I wonder if the system has an after-sales service?’

She wanted to check if the system was infected.

In the end, Huanhuan couldn’t bear to throw the beautiful and cute little angel into the sea.

She handed the soft and sweet potatoes to Xing Chen and reminded him gently, “Be careful. They’re hot.”

Xing Chen nodded obediently and carefully blew on the potatoes to cool them before eating them in small bites.

After eating and drinking, Huanhuan fell asleep.

As she slept, Huanhuan suddenly felt a warm current flowing out of a certain body part.

This familiar feeling couldn’t be that again…

Huanhuan opened her eyes and sat up abruptly. She reached into her hide dress and wiped her hands.

There was blood on her hands!

Why did it have to come at this time?!
