Chapter 36: The Wang family is left with nothing left to lose after the King of Tianliang is defeated!
Wang Zhenbao also knew that she always liked to show her emotions through facial expressions. In her father's words, everything she was thinking was written on her face, and it was easy for people to see through her.
So when Si Yuan asked her to practice facial expression management in front of the mirror, she did as he asked.
Wang Zhenbao looked at his own facial features in the mirror and couldn't help but cover his face and wail: "How on earth should I manage my facial expressions?"
Hearing Wang Zhenbao's wailing, Si Yuan came over. He looked at Wang Zhenbao crying in the mirror and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Zhenbao put down his hands and showed Si Yuan a few disobedient expressions. He said helplessly: "Dad, they don't listen to me. I don't know how to make the expressions I want."
Si Yuan looked at Wang Zhenbao's confused face and fell into speechlessness: "..."
Si Yuan suppressed his laughter and said, "You want to run before you even learn to walk? You should first learn how to hide your true expression, even if it means turning into a paralyzed face, and then figure out how to learn to act. If you really can't learn to act, then just keep your emotions hidden and make people unable to see your true emotions."
Wang Zhenbao originally thought that she had to learn to act like those actors, that is, to continue to smile happily when angry, and to pretend to be calm when sad... She had no acting foundation and no acting talent, and there was no way she could learn without a teacher, so she could only fall into the dilemma of having her facial features flying around.
Now that he knows that he just needs to learn to pretend to be expressionless and hide his true emotions, Wang Zhenbao feels a lot more relaxed. Isn't it just pretending to be expressionless? No big deal.
Then Wang Zhenbao sat in front of the TV and watched the comedy show. He almost hurt himself trying not to laugh: "..."
I never expected that the first thing to do when practicing facial paralysis is to watch a comedy show with a blank expression and not be able to laugh at all. This is too difficult!
She wanted to quit, but when she saw Si Yuan sitting next to her on the sofa, watching the comedy show on TV with a calm expression, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Suddenly Si Yuan said quietly: "If you can't hold on, you can choose to give up. Dad won't blame you."
Wang Zhenbao actually wanted to give up. After all, working hard is difficult, but giving up is easy. However, when she thought about the tragic experiences she had experienced before her rebirth, such as the betrayal of her fiancé, the destruction of her family, and her own abduction and killing, the strong sense of crisis made her grit her teeth and persevere.
"I don't want to give up, Dad. I want to become stronger. I want to protect Mom and Dad!"
Si Yuan tilted his head slightly to look at her and smiled, "Then keep working hard. Dad will accompany you."
Li Guihua, who was standing at the door, wanted to interrupt Si Yuan's teaching of Wang Zhenbao, which could be described as a tough lesson. However, before she opened her mouth, Wang Zhenbao said that he wanted to become stronger to protect his parents, which made Li Guihua's nose sore and her eyes red. She couldn't utter a word.
No matter how much Li Guihua loves her daughter, she would never spoil her and hold her back when she is working hard to make progress.
So she quietly left the door again, went to the kitchen and cut a plate of fruit platter that the father and daughter liked to eat, and brought it over. At this time, her eyes were no longer red, and a gentle smile appeared on her face: "It's really interesting to see the two of you watching comedy shows with serious faces. Have some fruit."
Si Yuan glanced at the fruit platter on the coffee table in front of him, picked up a piece of cantaloupe with a toothpick and put it in his mouth and started eating, but he ate with a blank expression on his face.
Wang Zhenbao looked at Si Yuan's movements and expressions, and hesitantly followed suit.
Si Yuan saw it all and was quite satisfied. Although Wang Zhenbao was spoiled by the original owner and Li Guihua and was naive and innocent before her rebirth, the huge changes in her family have made her grow a lot, and now she can be considered a promising person.
Si Yuan looked at Li Guihua again and said, "Sit down and watch it together."
Li Guihua was not in a hurry to go to work at Jueweixuan. She was the boss's wife and no one set working hours for her. It didn't matter whether she arrived early or late, so she just sat down.
Li Guihua asked, "Should I also learn to keep a straight face like you?"
Si Yuan said: "You don't need to, just laugh normally, laughing out loud is best."
Both Li Guihua and the original owner have a talent for business. When dealing with people, they both smile before speaking, as if they were born with a smiling face.
In fact, in the business world, a smiling face is more popular than an expressionless face. After all, many people will not care whether you have an expressionless face or not. They will only see whether you smile or not. If you treat people with a blank expression, others will only think that you are impolite and have a problem with them. But if you greet people with a smile, even if it is not a sincere smile, others will think that you are a friendly person.
Li Guihua's smile is quite contagious and her laughter is very distinctive, so Si Yuan let her laugh naturally.
Li Guihua didn't understand Si Yuan's plan, but didn't ask. He just did what he said.
Li Guihua actually laughed out loud while watching the comedy show on TV. After all, the show was really exciting, with funny jokes one after another, making people unable to stop laughing.
Gradually, Li Guihua forgot that she was helping, and she really just thought of herself as someone who was there to watch TV.
Li Guihua's laughter gradually aroused Wang Zhenbao's laughter. Wang Zhenbao tried to hold back his laughter for a long time, but he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Si Yuan looked over quickly with sharp eyes.
Wang Zhenbao covered his mouth, but still couldn't hold back his laughter. The parts of his eyes and eyebrows that were not covered by his hands were curved with laughter: "Sorry, Dad, I couldn't hold it back."
Si Yuan said calmly, "Since you can't keep a straight face, then learn how to keep smiling all the time. From today on, practice smiling in front of the mirror. From now on, no matter who you meet, smile before you speak."
"Ah?" Wang Zhenbao was stunned. "If you laugh all the time every day, your cheeks will be tired."
Li Guihua understood Si Yuan's intention. She explained to Wang Zhenbao, "As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. If you smile before you speak when you meet someone, you can leave a good impression on others. But it doesn't mean you have to smile all the time. After all, you don't have to meet strangers all the time."
Wang Zhenbao finally breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't necessary for her to smile all the time.
She began to practice in front of the mirror what kind of smile would be the most friendly, make people feel good about her, and be the most natural and unpretentious.
Under the guidance of Si Yuan and Li Guihua, Wang Zhenbao has indeed made great progress in practicing his smile.
Soon she had the opportunity to experiment - she was going to elementary school.
When Wang Zhenbao was in kindergarten, he had adult consciousness and didn’t want to hang out with a bunch of crybaby kids, so he cried at home and refused to go to kindergarten.
Originally, kindergartens at this time were equivalent to parents who did not have time to take care of their children, so they sent their children to kindergarten for centralized care. The children could not learn anything at all and were just there to play.
Si Yuan knew Wang Zhenbao's true background and didn't think she would make any good friends by sending her to kindergarten, so he persuaded Li Guihua to keep Wang Zhenbao by her side.
Wang Zhenbao, who has an adult consciousness, is a clingy and easy-to-take baby. Even when she is with me at work, there is no need to worry about her being naughty. So Wang Zhenbao never went to kindergarten, but waited until she was six years old and was old enough to go to elementary school, and then sent her directly to elementary school.
Wang Zhenbao didn't make a fuss about going to primary school, because she knew that she had to go to school formally and it was useless to make a fuss.
Wang Zhenbao regarded her primary school teachers and classmates as the first batch of experimental subjects after her practice. She smiled sweetly to everyone in school and was very polite.
Who wouldn’t like such a cute, well-behaved, polite little girl with a sweet smile?
Wang Zhenbao, who has adult consciousness, does not have the shyness of a child. When she sees parents of classmates she does not know, she calls them uncle or aunt in a sweet way, which makes many parents who send their children to school have a very good impression of her.
Wang Zhenbao was soon surrounded by a group of little kids who wanted to make friends with her, and everyone felt that Wang Zhenbao was very approachable.
Wang Zhenbao actually didn't want to play with a group of childish kids at all, but she also knew that she couldn't act unsociable, otherwise it would easily arouse the teacher's suspicion and concern, and might even develop to the point where her parents would be called in.
She patiently played with the group of children for a while, just like an adult playing with children.
However, at the beginning of the class, when she was learning one plus one equals two, Wang Zhenbao, who was sitting at her desk, felt a little regretful. She should have acted more intelligent so that her parents could arrange for her to skip a grade.
Wang Zhenbao felt that learning such basic knowledge with a group of children was a torture.
Finally, she got through the first day of school. When Si Yuan came to pick her up after school, Wang Zhenbao held Si Yuan's hand. On the way home, she couldn't help but say to Si Yuan: "Dad, can I skip a grade? I don't want to learn these childish first-grade things. I want to go to a senior grade."
Si Yuan lowered his head to glance at his adopted daughter who seemed a little bit arrogant. The supporting actress Wang Zhenbao in the original plot was not a very smart person, and she graduated from just an ordinary university. In other words, Wang Zhenbao was not a child genius at all. She just relied on the knowledge points she learned once after being reborn to be able to attack young elementary school students at a low level.
Do you want to create a genius persona for yourself just because you were reborn?
But you can’t fake being a genius. Si Yuan himself is an absolute genius. He knows it and knows what ordinary people are like.
There is a gap between geniuses and ordinary people. It doesn't mean that you can become a genius by being reborn once, and rebirth does not increase your IQ.
When Wang Zhenbao was reborn, he didn't know how many years had passed since he graduated from school. He probably returned all the knowledge he learned in school to his teachers. After being reborn, he wanted to pretend to be a genius, without thinking about whether he could always maintain his genius image.
Si Yuan didn't say anything to discourage Wang Zhenbao, but just said, "If you want to skip a grade, you must at least get full marks on the first-grade test. When we get back, I'll find some first-grade test papers for you to do. If you can get full marks, Dad will help you apply for skipping a grade with the school."
Wang Zhenbao said confidently, "Okay!" How difficult could the first grade knowledge be? It's just a knowledge point of one plus one equals two. For her, a reborn person, isn't it a piece of cake?
Then, when she returned home, Wang Zhenbao got the first-grade knowledge point test paper that Si Yuan gave her. Then, she looked at the test paper and was asked to write down the pinyin table, initial consonant table, final vowel table, and whole-word syllable recognition... She was completely confused.
If you ask her to spell the pinyin of a word she knows, she can do it, but if you ask her to write down the pinyin table from beginning to end, she has already forgotten everything. How can she remember the initial consonant table and the final vowel table? She only knows how to be a saintly bitch.
Wang Zhenbao silently put down his pen and said to Si Yuan with a forced smile, "Dad, I won't skip a grade."
Sorry, she overestimated herself QAQ
Si Yuan did not laugh at her. After all, she was just an ordinary person. Her IQ did not increase after rebirth. She had not relearned the pinyin table many years after graduation. It was indeed a difficult task for her to memorize the entire pinyin table without missing a single one.
After all, Wang Zhenbao is not as good as Si Yuan in remembering everything he sees.
Si Yuan nodded and said, "Then study hard, go to school on schedule, and get good grades."
Wang Zhenbao felt that she had lost face in front of her father. Although Si Yuan did not laugh at her, she felt very ashamed.
So Wang Zhenbao studied really hard and seriously, and completely let go of her pride and complacency as a reborn person. What was there to be proud of as a reborn person who couldn't even recite the pinyin table?
Wang Zhenbao picked up the new textbook that was distributed on the first day of school and began to preview the first-grade textbook.
There are still advantages for those who are reborn. At least Wang Zhenbao is learning these knowledge points again. He only needs to look at the knowledge points once to awaken the memory of learning these knowledge points in his previous life. He will be able to remember them quickly without having to start from scratch like a beginner.
Therefore, Wang Zhenbao's learning progress was very fast, and she was able to catch up with the real geniuses. In school, she also maintained the first place in the grade and got full marks in all exams, and was very popular with teachers.
Wang Zhenbao, who is loved at home, is a cheerful and lively girl. She is not at all introverted and shy as she was when she was brought up by a nanny in her previous life. She is sunny, cheerful, straightforward and generous. She does not have the awe of teachers like other children. She is polite, actively answers questions in class, and gets along well with teachers after class. She has excellent grades and outstanding appearance. She can be said to be a celebrity in the school.
Gradually, Wang Zhenbao went from disliking the crybaby around him to appreciating the fun of it. He went back to school, and as he grew up, he was able to appreciate the fun that he had not been able to experience when he was young.
Si Yuan also found that Wang Zhenbao was becoming more and more childish. Perhaps Wang Zhenbao was originally childish, but he had been suppressing his nature with thoughts like "I am a reborn person, I am an adult". Now that he can release it freely, it is still gratifying.
One day, Wang Zhenbao ran home excitedly holding a paper box and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to keep it!"
It was a dirty little puppy, lying pitifully in a cardboard box, looking at the humans outside the box with its big watery eyes.
Li Guihua is a woman who loves cleanliness. She doesn't like keeping pets at home because she has to consider the problem of pet hair shedding and excretion, which creates odor and is unclean.
When she lived in the countryside, she raised poultry such as chickens and ducks, but they were kept in the chicken coop and duck pen outside the house, not inside the house. Now that she lives in the city, pets are kept indoors, and she can't stand this.
But looking at her daughter's big, watery and expectant eyes that were exactly the same as those of a puppy, Li Guihua really couldn't say no.
Si Yuan had no objection to keeping pets. He liked pets very much. When he was in the Tiancang Realm, he even kept a flying saber-toothed tiger as a pet.
It's just that other cultivators raise spiritual beasts as fighting partners, but Si Yuan raises spiritual beasts as pets. The flying saber-toothed tiger he raised was so fat that it couldn't even fly by flapping its wings without using spiritual power. So Si Yuan could only raise this flying saber-toothed tiger in his own spiritual beast garden and let it eat and drink for free. He definitely couldn't expect it to fight.
Si Yuan doted on his furry pet too much, so when he wanted to raise a spiritual beast next time, he was earnestly dissuaded by the head senior brother.
Now that I have traveled to a small world, I didn’t expect to have a pet.
At this time, Si Yuan looked at the furry little puppy and couldn't help but feel a little moved. He turned his head to look at Li Guihua, and saw that Li Guihua didn't seem to want to keep a pet. He hesitated for a moment, and before he could speak, Li Guihua said: "You can keep this dog, but whoever raises it will take care of it. Zhenbao, can you do it?"
Wang Zhenbao said without hesitation: "I can take good care of Milk Tea!"
She is not a real child, how could she not take good care of a puppy? She even named the puppy she picked up. Because its fur was the color of milk tea, she named it Milk Tea.
After Li Guihua agreed, he looked at Si Yuan, and Si Yuan of course nodded.
The puppy Milk Tea seemed to know that he was accepted by this family. He was so happy that he wagged his tail like a windmill and made a whining sound to show his affection.
Wang Zhenbao held the box containing the puppy and said, "Then I'll take it to get vaccinated and checked."
There is a small pet shop near the community where they live. It is run by a veterinarian. Vaccinations and examinations can be given in the pet shop. The veterinarian cannot perform particularly professional pet surgeries, but it can still meet ordinary daily pet-raising needs.
As Wang Zhenbao grew older, Si Yuan and Li Guihua were very confident in her. After all, she had been very sensible since she was young, and was not naughty or messy. Of course, they trusted that she knew what she was doing, and would take the initiative to ask her parents for help if she couldn't do something.
So Si Yuan and Li Guihua let her take the puppy to get vaccinated and checked by herself.
This puppy named Milk Tea settled down in the Wang family.
Wang Zhenbao took Milk Tea to the pet shop for vaccinations and check-ups. When she came back, she brought back not only Milk Tea the dog, but also various dog supplies, such as dog cages, leashes, dog beds, dog bowls, dog food, dog cans, dog snacks... In short, she bought all the supplies that Milk Tea the dog might need.
The Wang family now has a considerable annual income, and the pocket money they give to Wang Zhenbao is the highest among his peers. Although the pet supplies they bought are a lot, they are just a small amount compared to Wang Zhenbao's pocket money.
Si Yuan and Li Guihua saw it but didn't say anything. They were rich and of course they wouldn't let their child suffer.
Wang Zhenbao really takes care of the dog Milk Tea by herself, without bothering Si Yuan and Li Guihua at all. She also teaches the dog to defecate at a fixed place, and walks the dog every day, being a qualified dog owner.
Li Guihua had been prepared that Wang Zhenbao's enthusiasm for the dog would only last three days, and that she would leave the dog to her to take care of after the novelty wore off. However, she did not expect her daughter to be so responsible at such a young age. She took very good care of the dog and kept it clean, without any of the troubles that Li Guihua had imagined.
Gradually, Li Guihua got used to having a furry little creature in her home. She got used to having Milk Tea wagging its tail to greet her at the door every day when she came home, and to having Milk Tea wagging its tail to see her off at the door every day when she went out.
Gradually, Milk Tea's status in the family became higher and higher, and Wang Zhenbao even joked that Milk Tea had taken away her mother's love for her.
Li Guihua found that her daughter had become very responsible and capable through raising pets. She was very pleased and said to Si Yuan privately: "Zhenbao has really grown up. From raising Nai Cha, we can see that she has become responsible."
Si Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Besides, Zhenbao is already working hard to grow."
Although Wang Zhenbao had all kinds of minor flaws from being spoiled in her previous life when she was just reborn, Si Yuan has guided her to change these shortcomings little by little over the years. She herself is also working hard to learn and become stronger. Just as she once said, she will work hard to become stronger to protect her parents. She is working hard for her own wish.
Si Yuan did not have any coercive interference in Wang Zhenbao's growth, but guided her silently.
He kept saying that he wanted Wang Zhenbao to work hard to start his own business and become a first-generation rich man, so that he could become the emperor and enjoy the good life without doing anything.
In fact, if Wang Zhenbao was afraid of hard work and wanted to give up, Si Yuan would not really force her to make progress.
Forcing children to work hard will only backfire and strengthen their rebellious psychology. Not only will it fail to achieve the goal, it may also cause the children to alienate themselves from their parents.
It’s just that Si Yuan always has various ways to guide Wang Zhenbao to walk on the path he has arranged for her. This path is very broad, with many choices, and it also allows Wang Zhenbao to grow freely.
However, after so many years, because there was no interaction with the original male protagonist and his son, the system was very anxious: [Host, the task progress bar has not increased at all, why are you not anxious at all? 】
Si Yuan said calmly: [What's there to rush for? The supporting actress hasn't grown up yet, and the hero hasn't grown up either. The plot is still a long way off. 】
System: [But in the last world, the hero hasn’t grown up yet, and the plot hasn’t started yet, but you pushed the progress bar up, haven’t you? Why can't this world work? 】The progress of this world is much slower than that of the previous world. The system is of course anxious, as this is related to its performance.
Si Yuan said helplessly: [You don’t even think about the differences between the situations in these two worlds. In this world, the Wang family and the Ling family don’t have much intersection, unlike the previous world where the original owner and the male protagonist’s father and son are relatives. Tong, you can't be impatient when completing a mission. You have to believe me, I will definitely not forget the mission. After the mission in the last world, don't you still trust my ability to complete the mission? 】
The system quickly said: [No, no, I don’t distrust you, host! 】
