Lin Chen smiled, "Is the baby well-behaved?"
"Daddy, I'm well-behaved."
"I'm the most well-behaved, hehe."
Lin Chen said, "Then Xiaoxi, you have to drink your medicine obediently."
Lin Xiaoxi's smile stiffened, "Daddy, sometimes I'm a good baby, sometimes I'm not a good baby."
Lin Chen laughed, "Not a good baby now?"
"Yes."
Lin Chen said, "Xiaoxi, you drink it one last time. Then take a bath, and your illness will be better tomorrow. We can then go play with Nannan and Qiqi."
Qiqi was a new friend of Lin Xiaoxi's. She had met her while Xu Mengyao was playing with her downstairs.
Lin Xiaoxi hesitated.
She also wanted to go out and play with her friends.
"Daddy, I want to eat two candies."
Lin Xiaoxi counted on her fingers.
"Alright then."
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi and said affectionately.
Xu Mengyao closed her computer at half past ten in the evening.
She had brought some work home and had just finished it. She was going to a birthday party the day after tomorrow, and she had to hurry up and finish the work she could beforehand.
"President Xu, can you get your painting framed? I can give you a discount, even cost price for the framing is no problem."
Xu Mengyao saw a message.
The message was sent to her by the master framer she had hired.
Xu Mengyao had requirements for the framing process, but she asked the other party to use very ordinary framing materials for her.
"Old Pei, it's not that I'm short of money."
"This is a gift for someone else, it's not appropriate to use expensive materials."
Xu Mengyao replied to the message.
The other person wasn't asleep yet, and she quickly received a message: "President Xu, compared to your painting, even the most expensive framing won't add much value."
Xu Mengyao was silent for a few seconds before replying: "My husband painted it."
Her own husband's painting, so what if she gave it away? Buying someone else's painting, maybe a ten-thousand-yuan one would be expensive, but her own husband's, this one had almost no cost.
Even if someone reported it to the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation, there wouldn't be a problem.
The person on the other end was Pei Gongyi, and surprise flashed in his eyes. This painting was actually painted by Xu Mengyao's husband.
"A man of extraordinary talent."
Pei Gongyi thought to himself.
Xu Mengyao was very young, and her husband shouldn't be much older.
"Understood, Manager Xu."
"I will use ordinary materials to frame it as best as possible."
Pei Gongyi replied.
"Thank you."
Pei Gongyi got out of bed.
He unfurled the Painting that Lin Chen had made.
As a master of mounting and framing, he had spent his life doing it, so his eye was naturally very discerning. In his opinion, this Painting could completely compare to the top masterpieces.
"What a waste."
"Some people try to gild their shit, but this is different. They want to decorate a priceless jade with scrap metal."
Old Pei muttered to himself.
He planned to start right away.
He needed to use the most ordinary things to frame it, striving for the best effect possible.
This would take quite some time.
The next day, Lin Chen was teaching Lin Xiaoxi how to do Painting.
"Host, your Painting skill has reached Legendary Level."
The system's voice rang out in Lin Chen's mind.
Soon, a lot of information kept pouring into Lin Chen's mind.
Lin Chen's body was also undergoing subtle changes; the biggest change was in his hands. Top-tier Painting skills naturally have demands on the hands.
His hands were now steadier than a surgeon's.
"Daddy, I don't want this one."
"This Painting is not good."
Lin Xiaoxi was stunned and said.
Lin Chen's level rose to Legendary Level, and her Talent also increased!
Lin Xiaoxi's Painting Talent was already quite good, probably around thirty points. Originally, doubling it would bring it to sixty points.
Now, her Painting Talent could be tripled! Lin Xiaoxi's Painting Talent should be over ninety points.
Over ninety points meant a world-class genius.
With her Talent skyrocketing, Lin Xiaoxi realized some issues with the painting she had just done, and she had even better ideas now.
"Xiaoxi, why don't you draw another one?"
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoxi nodded and quickly got to work.
Lin Chen watched quietly. He noticed that Lin Xiaoxi was more focused; top-tier geniuses always had strong concentration.
\n\n
Half an hour passed. Lin Chen only offered a slight reminder, and Lin Xiaoxi completed a rather good piece on her own.
\n\n
Compared to the previous ones, this painting was better. It had more creativity, and the lines were more beautiful; they weren't even on the same level.
\n\n
"Effort is nothing in the face of Talent," Lin Chen muttered inwardly.
\n\n
Lin Xiaoxi liked Painting. He taught her very carefully, and she had made progress before. However, the speed of her progress wasn't particularly fast. Now, it was a leap forward.
\n\n
Of course, her current progress was also related to her previous studies.
\n\n
Before, she couldn't understand some of what he taught, but now her Talent had increased, and she suddenly understood everything.
"Daddy, is my Painting pretty?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked, beaming with joy.
Lin Chen nodded. "Xiaoxi, you drew very well. As long as you keep trying, you'll get better and better."
"Daddy, Painting is so much fun."
"Can I draw another one?" Lin Xiaoxi asked expectantly.
Lin Chen shook his head. "Not now. We need to do some outdoor exercise. You're still young, and if you don't get enough outdoor exercise, you'll use up your Farsightedness Reserve too soon."
"What's Farsightedness Reserve?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked, puzzled.
"This... you'll understand when you're older. Go get the ball, let's go play outside. Maybe Nannan and the others are downstairs."
"Mm-hmm."
Lin Xiaoxi went and picked up the basketball.
Lin Chen: "Xiaoxi, why do you always choose basketball now?"
"Because Daddy is so handsome, you're the most handsome when you play basketball. I can also cheer for you with Mommy."
"Daddy, when will you play basketball again?"
Lin Xiaoxi looked at Lin Chen expectantly.
Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoxi. For her, the happiest thing was cheering for her dad's game with her mom.
"Xiaoxi, there will be opportunities, okay?"
"Now, accompany Dad and practice more."
After finishing a meeting, Xu Mengyao picked up her phone.
Lin Chen had sent her several messages.
But they were all daily photos of Lin Xiaoxi.
"Why are there so many messages in the Class Group?"
Xu Mengyao had a vague premonition of something ominous.
"Xu Mengyao actually got married in secret."
"The school beauty is married, my youth is gone."
"When's the wedding banquet? "@Xu Mengyao
The hundreds of messages in the group were all discussing her.
Xu Mengyao: "…"
"Mengyao, I'm sorry, I couldn't help but tell Zhang Yan, I told her to keep it a secret, but I didn't expect—"
Liu Siqi had already sent her a private message.
Xu Mengyao: "…"
She knew it would be leaked, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Forget it, so be it."
Xu Mengyao sent a message to Liu Siqi.
Since it had already spread, what else could she do?
"Lin Chen, I asked Li Li and the others to keep it a secret, but Liu Siqi said she told a friend, and it's probably spreading from one to another. Now they're already talking about it in the Class Group."
Xu Mengyao also sent a message to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen: "It's fine, I was planning on hanging myself on your crooked tree anyway, so it doesn't affect me."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"You're the crooked tree."
"Really? Then we're a perfect match, huh?"
Xu Mengyao's lips curled up slightly.
