noon.
Chu Fang was somewhat surprised to see Zhong Tingyue carrying Chu's mother on her back.
Then I heard the two arguing again.
You've schemed against me.
"I saved you..."
"That's also a form of scheming."
"Auntie, you should thank me."
"I don't want to."
Zhong Tingyue: "Whatever you say."
"Huh?" Chu's mother was taken aback. "How come you take after me?"
“... ..."
Before long, everyone in the Chu family returned home. Grandma scolded Chu's mother for not taking her phone with her when she went out. Chu's father applied ointment to Chu's mother's wound, while the person in question lowered her head, looking aggrieved.
After lunch, Chu's mother couldn't contain herself and pulled Zhong Tingyue to paint a portrait of her father. The latter then directed Chu Fang to go to the street to buy paints, palettes, brushes, and other supplies.
After buying it, Zhong Tingyue sat in the sun, tapping her chin with her paintbrush, gazing into the distance, recalling her grandfather's face. Chu's mother stood beside her, looking anxious, wanting to speak several times but keeping quiet, afraid of disturbing her daughter-in-law's creation.
Chu Fang clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.
Since he became aware of his mother, she had rarely suffered any injustice, but Zhong Tingyue had caused her to suffer injustice for most of her life.
Zhong Tingyue slowly withdrew her gaze, her pretty face serious, and began to paint.
In about ten seconds, a simple outline appeared—it was my grandfather's face. As time passed, the face was outlined with a slight curve, and then it was colored, revealing a gentle old man.
Tears welled up in Chu's mother's eyes. As she finished the last stroke, she could no longer hold back her emotions and cried out, "Dad~~~"
Well, he cried again. Chu Fang shrugged.
Fortunately, considering Ms. Zhong's painting skills, he had already imagined the scene and was somewhat prepared.
Chu's mother hugged the portrait and cried for a while. Then she urged Zhong Tingyue to draw other pictures. The latter nodded and continued to draw, depicting the true face of 'Grandpa Chu Fang' in her mind.
A man who can spoil Chu's mother so much must be a gentle man.
Exquisite portraits were created one after another. Chu Fang craned his neck to examine them closely: "Hey? Why did you paint my face?"
Then he said to Chu's mother, "Mom, you're crying for the wrong person."
Chu's mother was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the portrait, which was indeed Chu Fang's appearance. She then glared at him and said, "You've tricked me!"
“Hehe… …” Zhong Tingyue smiled shyly, “As I was drawing, all I could think about was Chu Fang.”
Chu Fang and her maternal grandfather bore some resemblance, especially in the gentle feeling he evoked. When painting, she couldn't help but paint Chu Fang.
“I can forgive you, but you have to continue painting for me,” Chu’s mother said, wiping away her tears.
Zhong Tingyue: "Okay."
As soon as she said it, she felt like she had been deceived.
It was clearly Chu's mother who begged her to paint, so why is she apologizing here?
She sized up Chu's mother, thinking to herself, "I never expected that this aunt with thick eyebrows and big eyes could be so cunning."
Zhong Tingyue spent the entire afternoon painting, all of them depicting Chu Fang's maternal grandfather. At first, it was just a portrait, but as time went on, it expanded to a full-body portrait, and she painted more than a dozen of them.
When the grandmother returned home, the mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly.
After crying, Chu's mother collected and organized the portraits, planning to frame them the next day.
Chu's mother looked at Zhong Tingyue with a sincere expression and said, "Thank you."
To paint her grandfather's portrait, the future daughter-in-law put in all her effort, her clothes stained with colorful paint.
Two small dimples appeared at the corners of Zhong Tingyue's mouth.
After a hard afternoon of work, and countless brain cells dying, I finally got my reward.
So it's not a complete loss.
... ...
That night.
Mr. Chu rubbed Mrs. Chu's ankle, while she stared intently at her father's portrait, unable to look away. Mr. Chu said unhurriedly, "You've been looking at it all day."
Chu's mother: "I'll see."
"..." Father Chu didn't take it seriously. "The biggest contributor to this matter is Zhong Tingyue. You should thank her more."
"I see."
"Don't be hostile towards them."
"Okay, okay, stop nagging!"
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Chu said, "Xiao Zhong is your son's girlfriend and your daughter-in-law. Don't hurt Xiao Zhong's feelings, and don't hurt your son's feelings either."
These past few days, Chu's father has witnessed everything Zhong Tingyue has done. She is considerate and thoughtful towards friends, family, neighbors, guests, and everyone else.
Furthermore, it's clear that Zhong Tingyue's love for Chu Fang is no less than that for Chu's mother; there's no third person in the world who loves Chu Fang as much as the two of them do.
Even Chu's father felt ashamed of himself.
Chu's mother bit her lip: "You blame me?"
"No." Father Chu shook his head. "Your reaction a while ago was only natural. I understand, Chu Fang understands, and Xiao Zhong understands too, but that matter is over."
Chu's mother lowered her head and remained silent, then shoved Chu's father: "Hey, why are you raising your voice so loudly? To make yourself seem right, huh?"
“... ..."
At this moment, Chu Fang was exchanging messages with Zhong Tingyue.
[Solo Dating Player: Hey, are you there?]
Wang Shu: Not here.
[Wang Shu: I'm exhausted.JpG]
[Solo player in a dating game: I'm exhausted from drawing all day. Come here, let me give you a hug.]
[Wang Shu: Get lost!]
[Solo Queue Player for Romance: Maliu Gun.JpG]
A few minutes later, Chu Fang sent another message.
[Solo player in a dating game: I'm so bored, let's play a game.]
[Wang Shu: What game?]
[Solo Dating Player: Gomoku (Five in a Row), whoever loses has to take off a piece of clothing.]
[Wang Shu: Erlang Shen has already seen through your scheme.JpG]
[Solo queue player in dating: Afraid?]
[Wang Shu: Come.]
About ten minutes later.
Chu Fang remained silent.
It feels numb when you squeeze it!
This woman is so good at Go; she didn't take off any clothes, while I was completely naked.
[Solo player in dating mode: Continue.]
[Wang Shu: Do you have any clothes to take off? ... ...squinting.JpG]
[Solo player in a dating game: You still owe me two things. Losing one game will make up for one.]
[Wang Shu: Deal!]
They immediately resumed playing chess, but Zhong Tingyue's brows were furrowed.
Compared to the previous games, Chu Fang seemed like a completely different person. Her chess skills improved by leaps and bounds, and she formed a five-piece star in just a few moves, resulting in her defeat.
[Solo Queue Player in Love: Take it off!]
Zhong Tingyue took off her coat, but she was not willing to admit defeat. The two continued to play chess, but surprisingly, she never won.
She suffered repeated setbacks, and had nothing left except her underwear and bra.
Chu Fang urged him to quickly video call, and immediately a graceful figure appeared before his eyes: cascading hair, snow-white skin, a slender and alluring figure, and a blush on her pretty face...
Seeing Chu Fang's lewd smile, Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes: "You're completely naked, and you still have the nerve to smile."
Chu Fang put his hands on his hips and even showed off his physique.
Suddenly, a thought popped into Zhong Tingyue's mind: Is it possible that Chu Fang is playing chess against her using artificial intelligence? Otherwise, his chess skills wouldn't have improved so quickly.
It's possible... ...very likely!
She immediately glared at Chu Fang: "You're playing chess with me using artificial intelligence."
"Yes," Chu Fang readily admitted.
That woman is really clever; she guessed it so quickly.
Zhong Tingyue turned off the video, wrapped herself in the blanket, and sent messages.
[Wang Shu: You're despicable!]
[Solo player in a dating game: Let me explain.]
But it's already inexplicable, because the appearance of a red exclamation mark indicates that it's been blocked.
Stingy woman.
We're sleeping in the same bed, and you still won't let me see...
