When Liu Xiaoyuan saw that Lu Siyao suddenly hung up the phone, he thought that Lu Siyao was angry, so he hurriedly dialed back.
Just as Lu Siyao was feeling dejected, she heard her phone ring. She picked it up and saw that it was Liu Xiaoyuan calling. Overjoyed, she couldn't contain her excitement and answered the phone immediately.
The two then talked for more than half an hour, until Liu Xiaoyuan's phone ran out of credit.
Liu Xiaoyuan experienced for the first time what it meant to talk on the phone for hours—it meant talking until his phone ran out of credit!
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately recharged his phone with 100 yuan via online payment.
After taking a hot shower, Liu Xiaoyuan dried his hair and lay down on the soft bed, quickly falling asleep!
The next day, Liu Xiaoyuan woke up very early. Since he started practicing martial arts, getting up early has become a habit for Liu Xiaoyuan. Even without an alarm clock, Liu Xiaoyuan is still able to get up on time.
After getting up, Liu Xiaoyuan stretched, opened the curtains to let the light into the room, and began practicing martial arts!
After practicing the Fierce Tiger Fist and the Prajna Palm once, Liu Xiaoyuan was covered in sweat and took a hot shower.
After taking a shower and resting for a while, I checked the time and it was already eight o'clock in the morning before I went out of my room to have breakfast.
The hotel had prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Liu Xiaoyuan, just waiting for him to come and eat.
Just after finishing breakfast, Liu Xiaoyuan's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello!" Liu Xiaoyuan asked after the call connected.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, this is Zhao Chuchu. I'm at the hotel entrance right now," Zhao Chuchu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing Zhao Chuchu's voice, Liu Xiaoyuan was somewhat surprised, wondering why Zhao Chuchu had come to see him so early. Could it be that Zhao Qianhai wanted to discuss calligraphy issues with him again?
"Wait a moment, I'll be right down!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, and walked towards the hotel entrance.
As I approached the hotel entrance, I saw Zhao Chuchu standing next to the black Audi A6, facing the hotel entrance.
Zhao Chuchu wore a plaid short-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. She looked youthful, lively, and cheerful, like a sunflower in the morning!
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan emerge, Zhao Chuchu waved vigorously at him and called out, "Liu Xiaoyuan, over here! I'm here!"
Liu Xiaoyuan walked up to Zhao Chuchu and asked, "What brings you here so early?"
Zhao Chuchu laughed and said, "What an insensitive guy! He came here so early in the morning and instead of asking if I'd had breakfast, he asked what I needed. How utterly insensitive!"
As Zhao Chuchu spoke, she shook her head, a faint smile on her face.
Oh my god! That's the first reaction, isn't it? I'm not a flirting expert, how would I know anything about this?
It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile, "Excuse me, Miss Zhao, have you had breakfast yet? If not, I'll treat you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chuchu touched her flat stomach and said, "Oh dear! I really haven't had breakfast, and I'm quite hungry. Also, I really want to try what the breakfast at this five-star hotel tastes like."
So Liu Xiaoyuan took Zhao Chuchu to the Jincheng Hotel and treated her to a sumptuous breakfast.
After breakfast, Zhao Chuchu said with satisfaction, "The breakfast at this hotel is really good."
"By the way, Liu Xiaoyuan, I noticed that the hotel manager seems to be treating you particularly respectfully? You're not the young master of this hotel, are you?" Zhao Chuchu asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan was speechless. Zhao Chuchu's imagination was too rich!
"Congratulations, you answered incorrectly!" Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Zhao Chuchu and asked, "Now can you tell me why you came to see me so early?"
Zhao Chuchu said, "It's not that I'm looking for you for any particular reason, it's that my grandfather is looking for you. I'm just your driver who's here to pick you up."
"What does your grandfather want with me?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked hurriedly.
Zhao Chuchu shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but it's definitely about calligraphy. Let's go!"
Liu Xiaoyuan had originally planned to go home today, but it seems that hope is slim; at least he won't have time this morning.
After getting in the car, Liu Xiaoyuan called Tan Wanyi and said that he had something to do in the morning and that if Tan Wanyi wanted to go home, they could talk about it in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Tan Wanyi on the other end of the phone said, "Xiao Yuan, I was just about to call you. Bai Feifei asked me to call you, saying she wants to invite you to dinner tonight to thank you for the calligraphy you wrote for her."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Tell your classmate that you can skip the meal; this is a birthday present for her."
"Master Liu, this is Bai Feifei." Bai Feifei's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone. "I would be very grateful if you would grace me with your presence tonight, for Wanyi's sake, okay?"
Liu Xiaoyuan originally didn't want to go, but Bai Feifei kept pleading with him, and since Tan Wanyi was Bai Feifei's classmate, it would be difficult for Tan Wanyi to be caught in the middle if he didn't go.
So, in the end, Liu Xiaoyuan agreed.
Sigh! Looks like I'm not going home today. I'm just waiting to get a beating from Lu Siyao when I get home!
Upon arriving at Zhao Qianhai's home, Liu Xiaoyuan learned the purpose of Zhao Qianhai's invitation: Zhao wanted to introduce him to several calligraphy masters.
After sitting in Zhao Qianhai's home for a while, the three calligraphers arrived one after another.
Through Zhao Qianhai's introduction, Liu Xiaoyuan got to know the three masters of calligraphy: Wang Chuanyi, Gu Qing, and Zhang Keli.
All three are vice presidents or members of the provincial calligraphy association, and are on par with Zhao Qianhai in the field of calligraphy. They are all over sixty years old.
They received a call from Zhao Qianhai last night and learned about Liu Xiaoyuan's situation. The three calligraphers were all extremely shocked. Although they believed Zhao Qianhai wouldn't lie to them, they still found it unbelievable.
Today, after meeting Liu Xiaoyuan in person, the three of them felt even more strongly that this was a legend, hard to believe.
After taking their seats, the group drank a cup of tea and then went into Zhao Qianhai's study to discuss calligraphy. Zhao Chuchu also followed them in to join in the fun.
When Liu Xiaoyuan summoned Emperor Huizong of Song to write a few words, the three calligraphers' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
The layman sees the spectacle, but the expert sees the essence. They can tell from Liu Xiaoyuan's brushstrokes and strength that Liu Xiaoyuan's calligraphy skills are at a master level, surpassing even their own!
This outcome, though unbelievable, is a true story that happened right before our eyes!
"My three old friends, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Zhao Qianhai asked with a smile when he saw the same look of surprise on the faces of his three friends as he had yesterday.
The three nodded in unison, indicating that they had not been deceived!
