"But—" After walking around his father, Erdan sighed, "I don't think you have any power!"

His muscles aren't as bulging as Uncle Cai's...

Knowing that Cai Huayang saw that Su Qinghu and the children were not in disarray, Chen Lie just smiled and did not argue with the children.

Dadan was standing next to Erdan, and wanted to say something when he heard him speak. Now that he finally calmed down, he spoke, "It's very easy when Dad holds us at the same time." No one was holding his arms too hard.

When Uncle Cai held them both, the muscles in his arms bulged noticeably.

This is the contrast, this is the proof.

Erdan tilted his head and thought about it, staring at Chen Lie's arm thoughtfully for a while, but still didn't quite believe it.

"How about we wait until Mom finishes her shower and ask Dad to hold the three of us together?" Erdan suggested. "If he can hold us like this, it means Dad is strong!"

Otherwise, it would not be convincing to him.

Chen Lie smiled and said nothing. He asked about their studies and also used their words to learn about the current situation of the two elders.

With Erdan, a chatterbox, and Dadan, who can fill in the gaps at any time, Chen Lie had a general grasp of the situation at home without much guidance.

"My mom makes a lot of money!" Erdan said admiringly. "She can earn 2,500 yuan just by writing a few pieces of paper!"

"And there's a typewriter!" he said. "We can take it apart and use it as we please. He didn't scold us when it broke. He took us to get it repaired and even asked the typewriter repairman to explain to us how it works~~~"

This is what you say with pride.

"A boy in my brother's class dismantled a radio at home. Before he even opened the cover, he was beaten up by his parents. He was so scared that he couldn't even touch the stool at school!"

The news spread throughout the school.

"Being able to restore something after it's been dismantled, that's real skill." Chen Lie sat back in his chair and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Erdan stiffened his neck. "My brother and I took it apart and restored it, but the typewriter just won't work. You can't blame us, right?"

The typewriter master said all of this and praised them, saying that they had a good memory and knew which parts were still in which places.

"You can't count as recovery if you don't work." Chen Lie said to the child, but his mind kept replaying Su Qinghu's suddenly enlarged beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and the light but not negligible force that fell on his lips.

They can do two things at the same time, yet they can both work independently, as if one of them has drifted away to a foreign land to think about other things, while the other one stays in the world and talks fluently with the children.

Until an excited shout brought him back to his senses.

"Mom, come here!" Erdan pulled Su Qinghu towards Chen Lie, "Ask my dad to pick up the three of us together!"

Su Qinghu raised his eyebrows and said incoherently, "Kid, are you trying to trick your father?"

She's nearly 5'7" tall, and although she hasn't weighed herself recently, she should weigh over 90 kilograms. The two children combined... even if they weigh 130 kilograms, the three of them would weigh 220-300 kilograms...

If it's a sandbag or sack, it's easy to deal with. Just carry it or hold it up. After all, it's easy to find the angle.

But she and the child are human beings, and they can't be treated like sandbags or sacks and just piled together casually...

The child is still the pit of his own family!

Su Qinghu looked at the excited Erdan, then at Dadan who was standing silently beside him, and directly asked his son who was usually quiet but smart, "Do you agree with your brother's idea?"

"No." Dadan shook his head directly. Under Chen Lie's gaze, he said seriously, "I recognize my father's strength."

He acknowledges it, so there is no need to verify it.

strength?

What power?

Su Qinghu glanced at Chen Lie's exposed arms and legs, then turned to ask Erdan, "Son, your dad is like this... is there any need to question him?"

People with such self-discipline and self-control, though quiet, can always do their best in their work. Physical fitness... no big deal, right?

Her matter-of-fact attitude amused Chen Lie, but also made Er Dan retort, "His muscles aren't as big as Uncle Cai's!"

Cai Huayang?

"Didn't he ask you to educate you about the law?" Su Qinghu frowned in confusion. "Why is he showing off his muscles to you?"

Damn it, I won't bring my kids there next time! Legal education is legal education, what's the point of showing off your muscles?!

Chen Lie listened and confirmed that Su Qinghu didn't look at Cai Huayang's muscles, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Erdan waved his hand, unconcerned. "We saw a few burly criminals in the prison, so we asked Uncle Cai how he caught them and how many people it took. Uncle Cai showed us his muscles and said he was the only one."

Su Qinghu was skeptical, but Chen Lie listened with a smile in his eyes, still sitting there calmly.

For those who have served in the military, physical training is a daily routine, and fighting and grappling are no problem. After leaving the army and joining the public security system, they still practice every day.

If the boss has some connections and has requirements for them, he will generally find a few real folk masters to teach them and improve their fighting ability.

Criminals rarely learn any martial arts in a systematic way, so it is not easy to knock down a few of them.

But what is really deterrent is wood/cang.

Few people remain indifferent when faced with such weapons.

Su Qinghu was skeptical, and suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Lie who was sitting there. Seeing his smile, his skeptical look instantly disappeared.

"Your dad is quite good. He has the Chinese style of beauty, like orchids and jade trees, like a dragon and a phoenix, with the handsomeness of Ji Kang." Thinking of the future with a developed internet, Su Qinghu couldn't help but shudder, praising him lavishly. "He has power without showing off. How wonderful."

"Those bulging muscles," she looked at Erdan suspiciously, "are they good-looking?"

Erdan blinked. "It's... not that bad, is it?"

Does he think it doesn't look good?

Su Qinghu and Dadan.

"Big Eggs, those big lumps of muscle all over the body..." she asked, "Do you think they look good?"

Dadan said without hesitation: "My dad looks good like this."

Su Qinghu's eyes narrowed instantly.

It’s nice to have someone at home who shares the same aesthetics as her~~~

"Ahhh~" Erdan shook his arms like a rattle and howled twice, attracting everyone's attention. "Just give it a try, it won't hurt!"

Su Qinghu: "...Speak properly."

Erdan stood up straight immediately and said eagerly, "Mom, don't you believe in my dad? Then let's give it a try~~~"

"If you want your dad to hug you, just tell him yourself. There's no need to bring me and your brother along, okay?" Su Qinghu looked at his round eyes that were like light bulbs and still refused firmly.

Even though they had just taken a shower, they huddled together...

She refused!

Before she could finish, her feet suddenly left the ground.

Su Qinghu looked down and confirmed that her feet were indeed off the ground. Then her gaze slowly moved upwards and landed on the strong hands that were pinching her waist.

Before Chen Lie held Su Qinghu's waist, he simply wanted to satisfy the child's curiosity, but as soon as he held her hand, he noticed something different.

Soft and pliable, as if grasped, yet as if not...
