Jian Junru put Jian Sheng in an improved version of children's Hanfu.
Her smooth hair was tied into two small buns on her head, secured with fluffy hair ties.
Two hair clips with tassels were clipped in, and the long tassels hung down.
She looked like a little immortal child descended from heaven.
After dressing her daughter beautifully, Jian Junru, satisfied, brought Jian Sheng to the relocated art studio.
Following the navigation to a familiar location, they saw the familiar school fence behind the art studio.
Jian Junru and Jian Sheng fell silent at the same time.
Cheng Qiye, having received the news, had already arrived at the entrance of the art studio and was waiting.
Jian Sheng stared blankly at the adjacent Hongxing Primary School.
"You said it was very close to the primary school, is it just next door to Hongxing Primary School?"
"It's more than just next door."
Cheng Qiye gave a mysterious smile and led them past several buildings in between, cutting through a small path.
Finally, they arrived in front of a small door.
Cheng Qiye took out a key, opened the small door, and walked in.
It was an empty room, but through the small window, a bare flagpole could be seen.
Jian Sheng had a bad premonition.
As expected, Cheng Qiye opened another door in front.
A bright red running track and a spacious green field appeared before the three of them.
The room they had just passed through was the space under the stadium stands that had been converted.
Jian Sheng's eyes widened, a hint of despair in their depths.
"This, this is Hongxing Primary School's playground?"
Cheng Qiye nodded proudly.
"That's right. We chose this location for our branch precisely to make it convenient for students from Hongxing Primary School to come here easily. Later, we learned about Hongxing Primary School's unique teaching model, and we also had a collaboration with them. So, the school opened up a connecting passage behind the playground for our art studio's teachers and students to come and go."
Jian Sheng: "..."
This wasn't just next door, it was practically the school's backyard!
Why was it that even after moving to the art studio, she couldn't escape the fear of being dominated by the school?
Before even starting school, Jian Sheng already felt the oppressive pressure from the school.
Jian Sheng's eyes were vacant, looking utterly dejected.
"Aren't you happy that Sheng Sheng can come to the art studio directly from the back door after school?"
Jian Sheng: "..."
What could she say?
Jian Junru chuckled, "Sheng Sheng doesn't like going to school, perhaps she's upset because she saw the school."
Cheng Qiye was amused, "Our little genius has moments of worry?"
"But Sheng Sheng, you don't need to worry. As long as you can keep up with your coursework and pass the tests, the school and teachers are very lenient. After Sheng Sheng finishes her tests, she can apply for personal interest tutoring and then use our art studio's name. Many of Hongxing Primary School's interest teachers are from our art studio. I'll take Sheng Sheng to meet the art studio teacher first, and then Sheng Sheng can come directly to the art studio, and brother will take you out to play!"
Jian Sheng's vacant eyes suddenly lit up.
Was there such a thing?
Jian Junru was a little speechless.
Discussing how to exploit loopholes and sneak out to play right in front of her as a parent, wasn't that a bit too much?
However, remembering that she had enrolled Sheng Sheng in this school precisely because she wanted Sheng Sheng to be more carefree while completing her studies, and to make some friends her age.
Jian Junru cautioned, "Sheng Sheng can go out to play with brother, but this must be on the condition that you follow the school rules and do not delay your studies, understood?"
Jian Sheng quickly nodded like a pecking chick: "Sheng Sheng will study hard! I definitely won't let my grades suffer!"
To escape the prison of school, what did grades matter! She would do her best to finish all the primary school books, then her primary school life would be truly free! Jian Sheng was plotting her own little scheme. She felt that choosing this school and joining the art studio was a brilliant decision!
After showing the two to the primary school playground, Cheng Qiye brought them back.
Still in the spacious open-air courtyard, Jian Sheng's gaze lingered reluctantly on the path they had returned on. This would be her secret passage from now on! Hooray!
In the spacious courtyard, quite a few children were already set up with their easels and drawing. Seeing the three passing by, many children couldn't sit still and secretly glanced at them. Jian Sheng also curiously observed them. But soon, a teacher noticed and reminded them not to get distracted.
"Aren't these the older brothers and sisters we saw last time studying here?" Jian Sheng quickly lost interest in these children.
Cheng Qiye explained, "Everyone here are students recruited by the branch, basically all students from Hongxing Primary School who are studying here during the summer break."
Jian Sheng glanced at the content on the students' easels and gave a listless "Oh."
"Sheng Sheng will also be drawing with them in the future? These seem so boring."
Cheng Qiye knew the young girl's abilities and understood that she probably looked down upon practice at this level. Just as he was about to explain further, a jovial voice chimed in from the side.
"Little one, being so restless is not good. Painting is inherently a tedious matter. Only through day-to-day practice can one mature and grow. The repetitive practice now will lead to astonishing results later."
