YPaNMdKGnSPHKJX“You don’t even know how to hold a brush!” Yue Siming was exasperated, snatching the brush from him. “Look, hold it like this, your fingers need to be here.” After demonstrating, he put the brush back in the child’s hand. “Hold it properly. Yes, like this, with your fingers applying pressure here. Hold it right.” Yue Siming painstakingly adjusted the child’s little fingers to hold the brush properly. His focused and serious expression was like a painting, leaving Wang Erhu in awe.TZsDHqwuTDIJifGptofwEnhojBSNcc

PjsDkENptmGTEwcOf course, the child didn’t leave. Instead, he had a satisfied expression, as if he had solved a difficult problem. “Young Master Yue, really, I’m serious.
