Li Jianyue’s Hopes and Dreams

Li Jianyue's face lit up in wonder. "Wow! That's awesome! Brother Mosen, you're so remarkable!"

Her admiration gratified Li Mosen. The corners of his lips turned up. "Does my being remarkable make you happy?"

"Of course!" Li Jianyue's eyes glowed as she looked at Li Mosen. "If only I was half as smart as you and Brother," she said in envy.

Li Mosen smiled. "You're already more than half as smart as I am. Whatever intellect you lack, let me make it up for you with mine."

Li Jianyue felt a little disheartened. "Your intelligence is intrinsic to you. They are not mine. If only I was that intelligent, I'd be doing a lot better now. Look at how smart Sister Panpan is. Mom said that Sister Panpan is so outstanding because she inherited her intelligence from Uncle and Aunt Chengyou. I, on the other hand, didn't inherit Mom and Dad's intelligence. My brother and I have the same parents, but why is he the smart one?"
