Chapter 261 What Can I Do in the Future

On a weekend afternoon, the sun shines through the window onto the living room floor, forming patches of warm light. Ruan Xiaofeng sits on the sofa, holding a comic book in his hand, but he seems a little absent-minded.

Lin Yanan came over with a plate of fruit, sat next to Ruan Xiaofeng, gently touched his arm, and said with a smile: "Son, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Ruan Xiaofeng put down the comic book and scratched his head: "Mom, I'm thinking about what I can do in the future."

Lin Yanan's eyes lit up: "This is an important question. Do you have any ideas in your mind?" Ruan Xiaofeng frowned and shook his head, "I'm not quite sure yet. I just feel a little confused."

At this time, Ruan Jianan also came over, sat on the other side, and patted Ruan Xiaofeng on the shoulder: "Son, don't worry, let's think about it together."

Ruan Jianan cleared his throat and said seriously: "Xiaofeng, think about it first, what do you usually do when you are happiest and most devoted?" Ruan Xiaofeng tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "I seem to be very happy when I am painting."

Lin Yanan nodded quickly, "Then maybe you can be a painter in the future!" Ruan Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with anticipation, but soon dimmed, "But can you be a painter?"

Ruan Jianan smiled and said, "Why not? As long as you work hard, your dreams will come true." He stood up and gestured with his hands, "Look at those great painters, their works are so amazing. It would be great if you could paint such good paintings in the future!"

Ruan Xiaofeng bit his lip and said, "But I'm not very good at drawing either." Lin Yanan touched his head and said, "Son, no one can draw very well at the beginning. It's all acquired through practice."

In the next few days, Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan found various painting materials for Ruan Xiaofeng and took him to the exhibition. At the exhibition, Ruan Xiaofeng's eyes were fixed on the paintings and he kept praising them.

Once, when the family was having a meal, Ruan Xiaofeng suddenly said, "Mom and Dad, if I become a great painter in the future, you will enjoy the life with me!" Ruan Jianan smiled and said, "That's great, son. When the time comes, don't forget to draw a few more paintings for us to hang at home." Lin Yanan also joked, "Yes, I have to show off to my neighbors. This is painted by my son!" Ruan Xiaofeng looked proud and said, "Of course, but you have to buy me a lot of paint and drawing paper first." The family laughed.

After returning home, Ruan Xiaofeng seemed to have made up his mind and said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, I want to be a painter in the future!" Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan smiled at each other. Ruan Jianan said: "Son, good job, your parents support you!"

Since then, Ruan Xiaofeng has spent a lot of time painting every day. Once, he drew a work that he was very satisfied with and showed it to his parents excitedly. Lin Yanan looked at it and frowned slightly, and Ruan Xiaofeng's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yanan smiled and said, "Son, the painting is good, but if you change this part, will it be better?" Then, she pointed to a part of the painting. Ruan Xiaofeng looked at it carefully and suddenly realized, "Mom, you are right!"

At school, Ruan Xiaofeng also actively participated in the art club. Once, the club was going to hold a competition, and Ruan Xiaofeng wanted to participate, but was a little worried that he would not be able to do it. Ruan Jianan saw what he was thinking and patted him on the shoulder: "Son, don't be afraid, go and try. Even if you don't win a prize, it's still an opportunity to exercise."

On the day of the competition, Ruan Xiaofeng was so nervous that his palms were sweating. Before he left, Lin Yanan straightened his collar and said with a smile, "Come on, son, you are the best!"

In the end, Ruan Xiaofeng won the second prize. He ran home with the certificate, shouting excitedly: "Dad, Mom, I won a prize!" Ruan Jianan and Lin Yanan hugged him happily, and the whole family laughed.

With the inspiration and support of his parents, Ruan Xiaofeng moved forward towards his dream step by step.
