Jing ’ s cheeks blushed of hot crimson and he couldn ’ t stop thinking about the scene he had just read . Obviously , Kong understood the scene that Jing had just read and he stared at Jing with a smile . Jing said with embarrassment , ‘ I think the diary is quite boring . Maybe we can read other books .’
‘ No , I want to know what will happen to that beautiful girl ,’ Neng said , trying to grab the dairy .
‘ I agree with Jing . This diary is boring . I was expecting an exciting journey , full of plight and danger ,’ Kong said , ‘ maybe we can rewrite the diary into an interesting story .’
‘ Imagine , a story of a monk going to the West , going through many dangers .’
Hearing Kong ’ s suggestion , Neng couldn ' t wait to do so and suggested , ‘ Maybe we can add some new characters , like , hehe , many pretty girls .’
‘ I have already thought of three new characters ,’ Kong said proudly and pointed to himself , ‘ Wukong .’
Then he pointed to Neng , ‘ Wuneng .’
‘ Wujing ,’ Kong said , pointing to Jing . ‘ That ' s the name of the new characters .’
‘ Sorry for the interruption ,’ Jing said , frowning . ‘ I ’ m not joining you guys . I think it ’ s time for us to go back to our study and finish our homework .’ Then he walked to the door but was pulled by Kong , not letting him go .
‘ My little brother , do you think you can run away ? Since you agreed to come with us , you have already become an accomplice ,’ Kong giggled and said . ‘ You are good at drawing right ? Just help us to draw the characters ,’ Neng added .
‘ Let ’ s start with the dairy we have just read . Just rewrite it as a story called “ Monkey Subdues White-Skeleton Demon ”.’
‘ Good idea . Brother , draw the characters .’
‘ Noooooo !’
The rain stopped and a rainbow climbed up to the blue sky . Streams of sunlight fell through the thick wall of trees in the garden , filling up every space between the leaves with warm , and sugary light . The rays tumbled down the strands of grass , which gleamed with the remaining raindrops . The sun went down slowly and hid under the horizon . The sky was dyed in scarlet red . The night was coming .
‘ What are you three doing here , hm ?’ It was a sound full of anger .
‘ Oops ,’ Kong said , turning around . Their father was standing outside the room . Fires of fury were smoldering in his eyes . ‘ Haha . Dad , we are just trying to clean up your room ,’ Kong answered with an embarrassing smile .
