Lin Chen touched Lin Xiaoxi's forehead. It was burning hot. Lin Xiaoxi's cold had brought on a cough and a fever.
He had some fever-reducing patches at home. He quickly got one and put it on Lin Xiaoxi, but the sticky thing was uncomfortable, and she immediately pulled it off.
"Xiaoxi, be good. You have a fever."
"This is to cool you down. Put it on for a little while."
Lin Chen reapplied the patch to Lin Xiaoxi.
"Dad, am I going to die?"
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Lin Chen pitifully.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"It's normal for kids to get colds and fevers, Xiaoxi. Dad will take you to exercise more, and you'll get sick less often," Lin Chen comforted Lin Xiaoxi.
He took her temperature, wiped her down, and gave her fever-reducing medicine. Time ticked by, and Lin Chen watched over Lin Xiaoxi with care.
He had obtained Ancient Medical Techniques, but it had only just been activated! He hadn't gained much knowledge of Ancient Medical Techniques yet.
He couldn't use Ancient Medical Techniques to treat Lin Xiaoxi right now.
Ancient Medical Techniques was Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the fever reducer was Western Medicine, but Lin Chen didn't have any prejudice against either. For him, a good medical technique was one that made the patient feel better.
The fever subsided, and Lin Xiaoxi drifted back to sleep, still a bit dazed.
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
It was normal for children to get sick, but Lin Chen still felt incredibly heartbroken when Lin Xiaoxi was sick.
Her coughing made his heart ache terribly.
"I need to pay attention to her diet tomorrow."
"Also, I need to prepare a Medicated Bath for Xiaoxi."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Some foods would worsen her condition, while others would help her recover. He had just acquired a lot of information on this.
He had also learned a bit about prescribing medicine.
However, his medical skills hadn't improved much yet. He still didn't dare to prepare the medicine for Lin Xiaoxi to take.
Lin Xiaoxi's condition wasn't particularly serious. Lin Chen thought that with dietary supplements and a Medicated Bath, she should recover.
"Cough, cough!"
Lin Xiaoxi coughed every so often.
Lin Chen didn't go back to sleep. His constitution was good, and he could manage without sleep for three or five days without any issues.
Unknowingly, the sky brightened.
Lin Xiaoxi developed a fever twice later, but he helped her wipe down her body to cool her down in time, and the cold didn't worsen.
Lin Chen placed an order online for some items.
The delivery arrived before Lin Xiaoxi woke up.
These things were for Lin Xiaoxi's dietary supplements.
Some were for Lin Xiaoxi's Medicated Bath.
Lin Chen hurried to prepare everything while Lin Xiaoxi was still asleep.
"Huh?"
Five minutes passed, and a lot of information flooded his mind, rapidly improving his medical skills.
Half an hour later, Lin Chen had everything ready.
"Dad."
Lin Xiaoxi walked out of the bedroom.
Her expression was still a little dazed.
"Xiaoxi, Dad's here. What's wrong?"
Lin Chen picked up Lin Xiaoxi and asked.
Lin Xiaoxi said softly, "Dad, I don't seem to have much strength, and I feel a bit sticky."
Lin Chen had wiped Lin Xiaoxi's sweat, but she had fallen asleep later, and some areas of her body were naturally inconvenient to wipe.
"Xiaoxi, you have a cold."
"But a cold is just a minor illness, don't worry. Trust Dad, Dad will get you better soon."
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi and smiled.
Lin Xiaoxi finished brushing her teeth. Lin Chen added water to the bathtub, mixing in the steaming medicated liquid. After soaking for ten minutes, Lin Xiaoxi's spirits visibly improved.
During the process of giving Lin Xiaoxi a Medicated Bath, Lin Chen's medical skills improved significantly.
His improvement time had already reached one hour.
For others, a mere hour wouldn't even allow them to read a few pages of a medical book, so the improvement would be negligible.
But for Lin Chen, it was a massive gain.
His skill level had already surpassed many Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors.
"Daddy, let's go play!"
After breakfast, Lin Xiaoxi giggled.
Normally, after breakfast, Lin Chen would take Lin Xiaoxi out to play. It was cooler in the mornings.
Lin Chen shook his head. "Not today, Xiaoxi. You're sick, so we need to rest at home. Catching a breeze outside will make your cough worse."
"Daddy will teach you to draw."
Lin Xiaoxi's condition today meant she needed to take a break from her verbal learning as well, and it was better for her to talk less and be quiet.
"Yay! Yay!"
"I love drawing the most!"
Lin Xiaoxi clapped her little hands happily.
"Ding dong!"
Xu Mengyao arrived at a villa area.
This villa area wasn't far from Ziyuan Community, only a twenty-minute drive.
"Director Xu, please come in, please come in."
A middle-aged man in his forties enthusiastically opened the door.
He was the painter Xu Mengyao had mentioned, Zhao Yanming. He was truly talented and nationally renowned.
"Director Xu, where's your child?"
"Didn't you say you were bringing your child over today to try out a lesson?"
Zhao Yanming asked with some confusion.
Xu Mengyao apologized, "Teacher Zhao, I'm really sorry, Xiaoxi isn't here today. Someone said he could help me find a teacher for Xiaoxi."
"He even drew a painting for me."
Zhao Yanming looked at the painting tube Xu Mengyao had brought, "Although your child is young, Chairman Xu, early education is very important."
"You want me to help you appraise it and see the other person's abilities?"
Xu Mengyao nodded, "It would be a lot of trouble."
"No problem, it's not a trouble at all."
Zhao Yanming took the painting tube and poured out the painting, spreading it out on the workbench.
"Hmm?"
Xu Mengyao was stunned.
Zhao Yanming was even more stunned.
Xu Mengyao didn't understand, but as an ordinary person, she thought the Eight Steeds Painting Lin Chen drew was very good.
Lin Chen actually has such painting skills.
Xu Mengyao thought to herself.
She hadn't seen the painting yet; she had left the scroll in the car last night and drove over directly this morning.
Time ticked by.
Zhao Yanming leaned in, carefully observing and appreciating the painting.
"Amazing."
"This person's skill is simply too high."
"Even Xu Beihong, if he were still alive, might not be able to surpass this."
Zhao Yanming was deeply shocked.
"Teacher Zhao, what do you think?"
After more than ten minutes, Xu Mengyao couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Yanming finally came back to himself.
"Director Xu, are you joking?"
Zhao Yanming shook his head.
Xu Mengyao quickly asked, "Teacher Zhao, is this person's skill not up to par? I don't know much about this."
Zhao Yanming took a deep breath and said, "Director Xu, the person who painted this could be my teacher. No, perhaps I'm not even qualified to be his student."
"Ah?"
Xu Mengyao was stunned.
Zhao Yanming said, "You know Xu Beihong, right?"
Xu Mengyao nodded. Of course, she knew. If she didn't know that, wouldn't her schooling have been for nothing?
"Xu Beihong is best known for painting horses. The horses this person painted aren't much weaker than Xu Beihong's, in my opinion."
"If painting horses isn't his specialty, then he might even be a little better than Xu Beihong."
Zhao Yanming exclaimed in amazement, looking at the Eight Steeds Painting.
Xu Mengyao was in disbelief.
Lin Chen's painting skills were actually so terrifying?
"Teacher Zhao, are you sure?"
Zhao Yanming nodded, "Although my own level is far lower, I don't think my judgment is too far off."
"Director Xu, who is this person?"
