Lin Chen moved aside, helpless. "Mengyao, go back and ask your mom. The gap in aesthetics between people shouldn't be this huge, right?"
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She rolled her beautiful eyes at Lin Chen. "What 'our mom'? That's my mom."
"You help Qianqian with her jet lag."
Xu Mengyao opened the door and left.
In the underground parking lot, Xu Mengyao got into her car, but she didn't start it immediately, instead falling into thought.
"Mom deliberately saying Solina is beautiful?"
Xu Mengyao murmured in her heart.
She checked the time; it was half past twelve. It was the middle of the night in the US, and her parents were probably asleep.
"Dad, are you asleep?"
Xu Mengyao sent a message to Xu Guofeng.
Her mother was ill, so she definitely couldn't disturb her at this hour. Her father might still be awake.
"What's up?"
Xu Guofeng replied quickly.
He was lying in bed but hadn't fallen asleep yet.
"Qianqian said a beautiful auntie sent flowers, and Lin Chen said she wasn't beautiful. Who's lying?"
Xu Guofeng looked at the message, a faint smile on his face.
His daughter actually cared about this.
It seemed like she and Lin Chen had a chance.
"Neither of them lied."
"Qianqian is still young. The other person looked good in their clothes and gave her flowers, so she might just think they're pretty. Solina is just average-looking; even with makeup, she's only slightly above average."
Xu Guofeng replied.
Xu Mengyao saw the message and covered her face.
She had no face to show anyone.
She was actually a little upset because of this, and Lin Chen could definitely tell she was a little jealous.
"Why am I like this?"
"I—"
Xu Mengyao was filled with regret.
Why was she jealous, why was she angry?
"Mengyao, you didn't quarrel with Lin Chen, did you?"
Xu Guofeng sent another message.
Xu Mengyao: "No, how could that be? I don't care whether Solina is beautiful or not. It's fine as long as Lin Chen isn't lying; if he lies, he'll corrupt Qianqian."
Xu Guofeng went online and found a picture of Peking Duck.
He sent the Peking Duck photo to Xu Mengyao.
"Dad, why did you send this?"
"Nothing, just craving Peking Duck."
Xu Mengyao was puzzled.
A few seconds later, she rolled her eyes at her phone.
She understood what her father meant.
Stubborn as a mule.
"Lin Chen, I should have time the day after tomorrow. If you're free, we can take Qianqian to the amusement park."
Xu Mengyao sent Lin Chen a message.
Lin Chen smiled when he saw the message. He had just left in a huff. Now she was sending this. Did Xu Mengyao know Solina's looks were so-so?
"No."
"You wronged me, and I'm very hurt now. Without a kiss and a hug, I won't recover for ten days or half a month."
Lin Chen replied.
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Or should I lift you up again?"
"You can't lift it. How about I lift you instead?"
Xu Mengyao got out of the car and took a box from the trunk.
"Knock, knock."
Two minutes later, Xu Mengyao knocked on the door.
Lin Chen quickly opened the door.
Xu Mengyao said, "You took Qianqian out, and you also cooked for my parents. You've worked hard. Your calligraphy is good, so I'm giving you this pen. You can use it when you sign your name."
"I forgot to give it to you before."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao with a smile.
It's probably not that she forgot to give it to him, but that she was angry and didn't want to.
"Thank you."
Lin Chen accepted the box containing the pen. "Mengyao, does this represent 'two birds flying wing to wing,' meaning I'm holding you in my hand?"
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"I didn't think that much. Don't overthink things." "I'm leaving."
Xu Mengyao turned and left in a bit of a fluster.
She went downstairs quickly.
Lin Chen opened the box. Inside was a pen, which was very exquisitely made. It was clear that it wasn't cheap.
Xu Mengyao, although a little tsundere, was overall quite nice, he thought.
In this kind of situation, many girls would wait for the boys to coax them. Some little princesses might not be satisfied with just sweet words, they might also need concrete actions.
Xu Mengyao was stubborn, but she did give concrete actions.
"I have time the day after tomorrow."
"Qianqian has been wanting to go to the amusement park with the family. Come over tomorrow night, it's hot, so we'll leave early."
Lin Chen sent Xu Mengyao a message.
"Okay."
Xu Mengyao considered it for a moment and sent a message back.
Her schedule was packed.
If she was coming to Lin Chen's place tomorrow night, she'd have to hustle today, probably working overtime until ten tonight.
"What to practice?"
Lin Chen wondered inwardly.
Lin Xiaoxi was taking an afternoon nap, and he was looking for martial arts information in the study.
There was all sorts of stuff online.
Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do, Xing Yi Quan, Bagua Zhang, Muay Thai, and so on. He wasn't sure if the information was true, but practicing them would probably still feel like something.
Directly teaching Lin Qianqian was too deliberate, and it wouldn't work.
He wouldn't be able to gain a skill that way.
Lin Chen's idea was to practice himself, and maybe Lin Qianqian would become interested and follow him.
"Tai Chi, perhaps."
After considering it for a while, Lin Chen ultimately chose Tai Chi.
Tai Chi movements were gentle and could be practiced at home. If Lin Qianqian became interested, she could practice with him too.
"System, my physique is constantly improving. If I practice Tai Chi in the future, can I cultivate Internal Energy?"
Lin Chen asked in his mind.
System: "Host, you've chosen the right technique. But it would take you at least ten years to practice it yourself. And you'd have to practice diligently for at least three hours a day."
Lin Chen: "..."
It seems like he'd have to rely on his precious daughter to become awesome.
"System, there are many types of Tai Chi online; help me choose a reliable one."
"Okay, Host."
Lin Chen found several, and the system helped him choose one.
This one would be effective for him with long-term practice.
As for ordinary people, even if they persevered for a long time, they would only get a workout effect; it would be impossible to cultivate Internal Energy.
Pulling the curtains, Lin Chen silently practiced while watching the video.
He needed to learn the movements first.
Only if he performed them well would Qianqian be interested.
Learning them will probably take four or five days.
To make the movements look good, it'll probably take ten to fifteen days.
After practicing once, Lin Chen muttered to himself.
"System, what's my current physique?"
"Host, your current physique is one hundred and seventy-one points."
Lin Chen wore a faint smile.
His physique was already surpassing that of top boxers. In terms of pure physique, he was not much weaker than Mike Tyson in his prime.
But if he fought Tyson, he would definitely lose.
Without fighting skills, he couldn't unleash his full strength.
"I'll keep practicing!"
"It's only ten days or half a month, right?"
"Even if Qianqian doesn't want to learn later, it's still beneficial to practice."
Lin Chen muttered to himself and continued to practice.
"Ding dong—"
The doorbell rang not long after he started practicing.
Lin Chen frowned. It shouldn't be Xu Mengyao; she knew Lin Qianqian was napping and wouldn't ring the doorbell.
"Zhao Tianyou."
Lin Chen saw the person outside through the peephole.
Zhao Tianyou, this guy, actually found his place.
"Zhao Tianyou, what a coincidence."
"I just returned to the country today, and you just happened to be here."
Lin Chen opened the door, a smile playing on his lips.
