Lin Chen glanced around, "This is Mom's room?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded her little head, "Yes. Tonight, Aunt Qingqing and I are sleeping together, and Daddy, you sleep with Mommy."
Xu Mengyao arrived at the door at this moment.
She heard what Lin Xiaoxi said.
"Xiaoxi, weren't you going to show Daddy your room?" Xu Mengyao said at the door.
Lin Xiaoxi: "Mommy, it's dark already, and Daddy will sleep soon. I'll take Daddy to see where he's sleeping."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
What a little sweetheart.
But this little sweetheart belonged to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen wore it and it kept him warm, but she wore it and it was too big, letting the wind through...
"Xiaoxi, let's go to your room. Let Dad see what your slide looks like," Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Lin Xiaoxi led Lin Chen to the room across the hall.
Lin Xiaoxi's room was quite spacious, and there was indeed a slide, with a little house on top of it.
"Dad, look."
Lin Xiaoxi climbed up the stairs she'd made from soft-pack materials, went through the little house, and then slid down the slide.
"Dad, is it fun?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked sweetly.
Lin Chen squatted down and patted Lin Xiaoxi's head, "Fun, but you have to be careful when you play, Xiaoxi."
"Mm-hmm."
"Dad, I'll take you somewhere else."
Lin Xiaoxi led Lin Chen to her playhouse. This room was very large, and there were all sorts of toys inside.
"Daddy, there are so many toys here, but it's no fun alone."
Lin Chen sighed inwardly. If Xu Mengyao wasn't home, how could the nanny possibly let other children come over to play?
In their villa complex, the children from every family were precious, and they couldn't afford to be responsible if anything happened to them.
When Xu Mengyao was home, she probably took Lin Xiaoxi outdoors more often.
After playing for a while, Lin Xiaoxi ran outside: "Daddy, come quickly, let's go somewhere else."
Soon, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoxi arrived on the third floor.
The third floor had a rather large music room, with a Guzheng, an Erhu, and a big Piano inside.
"Daddy, this is Mommy's."
"Grandma plays this, and the smallest one is Grandpa's."
"Mine is this."
Lin Xiaoxi dragged a small drum out from the corner.
Lin Chen was surprised.
Xu Mengyao's family all had some artistic talent. He knew that Xu Mengyao herself played the Piano and Guzheng. Her mother was even better at Guzheng, and her father played the Erhu.
"Dong dong."
Lin Xiaoxi haphazardly tapped the drum twice.
Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoxi, amused. When Xu Mengyao and the others were entertaining themselves, she could probably only cause trouble on the side.
"Dad, how do you play this?"
"Mommy says I'm too young."
"I'm already so big."
Lin Xiaoxi went over to the piano.
Lin Chen opened the piano lid. He couldn't play, but he had watched some videos online so he could "teach" Lin Xiaoxi in the future.
He understood the most basic knowledge.
"Xiaoxi, each key on the piano can make a different sound—"
Lin Chen began to teach slowly.
He needed to slow down, or the knowledge in his belly wouldn't last five minutes.
Soon, five minutes passed.
"Host, you taught Lin Xiaoxi to play the Piano, gaining the Piano skill. Ten hours to Grandmaster Level, twenty hours to Great Grandmaster Level."
The system's voice rang out in Lin Chen's mind.
At the same time, a lot of information rapidly flooded his mind.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
It's here, it's finally here.
If it didn't come any sooner, the little bit of Piano knowledge he had in him would have been drained.
"Dad, what's this?"
Lin Xiaoxi ran over shortly after Lin Chen obtained the skill. If she had run a bit faster, Lin Chen's skill wouldn't have awakened until five minutes had passed.
Everything is difficult at first.
Only after awakening can one gradually improve.
"This is an Erhu," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoxi tilted her head. "Dad, it's so strange. It only has one string, but it can make so many sounds."
"Do you like this, Xiaoxi?"
Lin Chen asked.
Lin Xiaoxi shook her head repeatedly, "I don't like it. The old men in the park like it, but I'm still a baby."
Lin Chen was a little disappointed.
He was still somewhat interested in the Erhu, but since Lin Xiaoxi didn't like it, he couldn't force her to learn. He wouldn't gain skills that way either.
Many things are best left to nature.
He could gain aircraft manufacturing skills from paper airplanes, which was really impressive. But Lin Xiaoxi wasn't very interested in it recently, so he wouldn't force her to learn either.
Lin Xiaoxi's healthy and happy growth was the top priority.
"Knock, knock."
Xu Mengyao knocked on the door and came in.
"Xiaoxi, you can share with Dad tomorrow. It's late now, you need to take a bath and go to sleep," Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Xiaoxi said, "Mom, can I not go back with Dad tomorrow? I want to play with Yuanyuan and the others tomorrow."
Xu Mengyao knelt down and kissed Lin Xiaoxi.
"This is your home."
"You can stay here if you don't want to go back."
Lin Xiaoxi blinked, "Mom, with Dad, okay?"
Xu Mengyao tapped Lin Xiaoxi's forehead with her finger. "You little rascal, so precocious. You go down in the elevator yourself, Mom needs to talk to Dad."
"Hehe."
Lin Xiaoxi happily skipped out.
Xu Mengyao's face flushed slightly. "Lin Chen, you and Xiaoxi, stay here tonight and tomorrow, okay? Xiaoxi probably wants to introduce you to her little friends."
"She used to envy them because they all had fathers."
Speaking of this, Xu Mengyao's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence.
"One time, I was sleeping with her, and she called for 'Dad' in her dream in the middle of the night. It really didn't feel good to hear that."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao. She must have made a huge decision to bring Lin Xiaoxi to him.
"Mengyao, don't be sad."
"Xiaoxi will have a dad in the future, and you'll have a husband too."
Lin Chen said with a hearty laugh.
Xu Mengyao coquettishly replied, "Mengyao has a dad, that's enough. As for me… I'm doing quite well on my own."
"I'll get you a set of new pajamas from my dad, and your clothes will be washed and dried tonight so you can wear them tomorrow."
Lin Chen nodded.
"And there's a key question, where am I sleeping?"
Xu Mengyao said angrily, "You sleep in the guest room. Don't tell me you're actually going to sleep in my room like Xiaoxi suggested?"
Lin Chen said with a chuckle, "I think that sounds pretty good. We can also save a bit on the air conditioning bill at night."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
She said unhappily, "Go take a shower quickly. You drank a lot, so go to sleep right after your shower."
Half an hour later, Lin Chen finished his shower.
He lay down on the bed in the guest room.
The door was suddenly pushed open a crack, and Lin Xiaoxi's little head peeked in: "Dad, why are you here?"
"I didn't see you in Mom's room."
Lin Chen: "Xiaoxi, didn't you go to bed?"
"Dad, I can't sleep."
"I want to hear a story, but Aunt Qingqing's stories aren't interesting."
Lin Xiaoxi quickly climbed onto Lin Chen's bed after coming in.
"Dad, I have a question."
Lin Xiaoxi looked a little nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi and asked.
Lin Xiaoxi: "Did you and Mom get a divorce?"
Lin Chen was stunned.
"Xiaoxi, why are you asking like that? We're doing fine."
Lin Xiaoxi: "You and Mommy aren't sleeping together."
"Grandpa and Grandma sleep together."
Lin Chen: "Didn't you know Mommy calls me her husband?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
"I know."
"But you aren't sleeping together."
