Chen Hao's fingers moved with such dexterity that they seemed to dance, each crease clear and precise, each press applied with even pressure.

The paper seemed to come alive in his hands, obediently changing shape.

[Ding! Completed the core structure of the dynamic origami—the movable joints and aerodynamic skeleton. Origami experience +455.]

[Ding! Fine-tuning of wing surface curvature and counterweight balance, experience +388.]

Sisi was completely stunned.

She couldn't understand the complicated steps, but she could sense that the way her father folded the paper was completely different from how he usually taught her.

Her father's expression was focused and calm, his eyes were sharp, and his fingers moved so fast that she could hardly keep up, yet they had a graceful, flowing quality.

That ordinary piece of colored paper was gradually transforming in her father's hands into a "paper crane" with an exceptionally complex structure that she had never seen before.

Its wings are longer, and its body has many small folds and layers, making it look exquisite and mysterious.

The whole process lasted nearly twenty minutes.

When Chen Hao completed the last step and gently adjusted the slightest angle at the tip of the paper crane's wing...

A lifelike, incredibly detailed blue paper crane stood quietly in his palm.

This paper crane is almost twice the size of a regular paper crane, with smooth and elegant lines, a distinct body structure, and wings that seem to embody some kind of aerodynamic principle.

"alright."

Chen Hao looked at the work in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"Dad, can it...can it really fly?"

Sisi leaned closer to look, and carefully touched the paper crane's wings with her finger, then quickly pulled it back, afraid of damaging it.

"able."

Chen Hao stood up and walked to a relatively open area of ​​the living room.

He pinched a specially left grip point on the bottom of the paper crane to make it easy to throw, and with a special, skillful force, gently pushed it forward with his wrist, facing an empty space in front of him.

The paper crane slipped from his hand.

It did not fall directly or drift aimlessly like a regular paper crane.

Rather, it seemed to be infused with some kind of vitality, its wings fluttering gently in the air—it wasn't a real flapping motion.

Rather, it benefits from the ingenious folding structure, which creates a natural undulation resulting from the initial kinetic energy of the throw and the interaction with the air—

Then, it actually started to glide forward smoothly!

Even more amazingly, after gliding for a distance, it began to turn along a sloping, graceful arc, circling around the living room!

Its wings made an extremely faint rustling sound in the air, and its posture was as elegant as that of a real crane.

"Wow--!"

Sisi's exclamation was filled with extreme surprise and disbelief.

She jumped up and down, pointing her little finger at the blue paper crane circling in the air, her face flushed with excitement.

"It's flying! It's really flying! Daddy, look! It's spinning! It's flying!"

She chased the paper crane around the living room for a couple of steps, her eyes completely captivated by the magical sight.

The paper crane flew in the air for nearly a minute before slowly and steadily landing on the carpet, its posture still graceful, as it ran out of kinetic energy.

Sisi immediately ran over, carefully picked up the paper crane, and presented it to Chen Hao as if it were some priceless treasure, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Dad! Dad, you're so amazing! You really folded a paper crane that can fly! It's incredible! Dad is the best dad in the world!"

[Ding! You received extremely excited and admiring praise from your daughter, significantly improving your parent-child relationship.]

[Reward: 10 plush cotton-padded jackets.]

Looking at his daughter's flushed face, Chen Hao felt a great sense of accomplishment.

He bent down to take the paper crane and smiled, "Sisi, would you like to learn how to fold this flying paper crane?"

"I want to learn! I want to learn! I really want to learn!" Sisi nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, eagerly grabbing Chen Hao's clothes.

"Daddy, teach me quickly! Sisi wants to fold paper cranes that can fly too!"

"Okay, Dad will teach you."

"But this is a bit difficult. Sisi needs to be very serious and patient." Chen Hao gave his daughter a heads-up beforehand.

"Sisi will definitely be serious! She will definitely be patient!" Sisi immediately promised, her little expression extremely serious.

Chen Hao sat down again, took out another piece of paper, and began to break down the teaching of this complex dynamic paper crane at an extremely slow pace.

He explained each step in great detail: why fold it this way, what the function of the crease is, and how to control the force.

[Ding! A super advanced dynamic origami tutorial has been provided, with clear step-by-step instructions and patient guidance. Origami experience +355.]

[Ding! Daughter is focused on studying; the quality of parent-child interaction is extremely high. Five more "little darlings" (a term of endearment for daughters) added.]

Si studied very hard.

Her little hands are not yet dexterous enough, and her strength control is not precise enough. Many complicated folds are extremely difficult for her, and she often folds them incorrectly or wrinkles the paper.

But she didn't give up or cry. She just frowned and tried again and again, taking things apart and starting over, or looking to her father for help.

Chen Hao wasn't in a hurry. He demonstrated again and again, correcting her movements step by step and encouraging her every small improvement.

[Ding! Helped your daughter overcome difficulties with origami, cultivating perseverance and problem-solving skills. Origami experience +288, plus 4 new "little cotton-padded jackets".]

[Ding! Your daughter has successfully completed a key complex structure, gaining immense confidence. Origami experience +422, plus 5 new "little cotton-padded jackets".]

Time passed little by little.

When the clock on the wall struck nine o'clock in the evening, Sisi finally completed the last step of making the pink paper crane in her hand, which had undergone countless revisions and still had some creases and minor damage.

"Did...did it work, Dad?"

Sisi held the paper crane, her voice trembling slightly with nervousness and anticipation. Her little face was covered in sweat and pencil marks from who-knows-when, making her look a bit disheveled, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

"It's done." Chen Hao nodded affirmatively, then helped her adjust the paper crane's wings by a small angle.

"Sisi is great, she persevered. Now, how about giving it a try?"

Sisi took a deep breath, imitated her father, pinched the handle, walked to the middle of the living room, and threw it forward with all her might!

The pink paper crane slipped from my hand and flew away!

It didn't fly as smoothly and gracefully as the one Dad folded; its flight path was a bit shaky, but—

It really did take flight!

And it wobbled in the air, but it did indeed make a small circle!

Although it only flew for less than forty seconds before landing, it was already a miracle for Sisi!

"Yay! My paper crane is flying! It's flying!"

Sisi burst into a huge cheer, jumping and skipping on the spot, her little face beaming with unparalleled joy and pride.

"Dad! Dad, look! I folded it! It flew! It's so much fun!"

"Dad is so amazing! He taught Sisi how to fold a paper crane that can fly!"
