Chapter 193 Sorry, you really can't compare to my girlfriend.
"Really? You're saying he actually won first place in the national art competition?"
"Isn't that right? I only found out because my mom mentioned it to me. Xiaoxiao, what do you think Lin Chen is thinking? We're about to go to university and he's started studying art again?"
"It's probably just a hobby."
While holding her phone between her fingers, Chen Xiaoxiao turned on her computer and logged onto the official website of the National Youth Art Competition.
The official website not only lists the winners of this competition, but also displays the winning entries of each contestant.
"I saw it, it really is... Thank you, Minmin."
"It's nothing, we're best friends, of course I have to keep an eye on your boyfriend while you're not around!"
"Then I'll hang up now, see you in Beijing!"
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaoxiao clicked on the link on the official website.
She had never known before that Lin Chen was also talented in art.
I can't help but wonder what his works will look like?
How could he win first prize in the national competition?
When Chen Xiaoxiao was young, Meng Lan, hoping her daughter would succeed, had her study art to cultivate her interests and hobbies.
However, she wasn't good at art, so she eventually gave up.
At this time, Chen Xiaoxiao had already arrived in Australia.
Opening domestic websites from overseas is very slow; she waited quite a while before Lin Chen's work finally appeared on the webpage.
Limestone chant?
This handwriting is really good.
Chen Xiaoxiao first noticed Lin Chen's calligraphy and nodded in admiration.
Then, moving his gaze downwards, he saw Lin Chen's traditional Chinese painting.
Wow, amazing! I didn't know that traditional Chinese paintings could depict the sea? I thought traditional Chinese paintings were all about landscapes.
As the page continued to scroll down, the image of the girl's back came into Chen Xiaoxiao's view.
Under the early summer sun, a girl in a dress walks under a sycamore tree.
Chen Xiaoxiao immediately recognized that the sycamore tree path in the painting was the same road leading from her home to Donghai No.1 Middle School.
Although the girl in the painting doesn't have her face clearly visible, her figure and clothing...
Chen Xiaoxiao was startled. Wasn't this herself?
Chen Xiaoxiao's cheeks immediately turned red.
Just by looking at this painting, she could feel the deep affection Lin Chen conveyed in it.
Why did Lin Chen suddenly start learning to draw?
They did it secretly, without even telling me...
Is it...
Chen Xiaoxiao is, after all, an extremely intelligent girl.
Although there was no evidence, a possibility quickly came to her mind.
Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but smile slightly.
Since you don't want me to know, then I'll pretend I don't know!
Let's see what surprise you have in store for me.
If I'm not satisfied, I won't let you off so easily!
……
Lin Chen was unaware that his plan had completely fallen through.
Chen Xiaoxiao had already seen through his little scheme.
At this moment, Lin Chen was urgently patching up the mess to make up for Principal Lin's act of stealing from his home.
"Uncle Chen, please tell Auntie that you must not let Xiaoxiao know about this."
"Alright, alright, if you ask me, you young people are really too thoughtful, going to such lengths for a birthday present."
But I also want to remind you, Lin Chen, school starts soon. Don't let this distract you from your studies and cause you to fall behind!
"No, then I'll leave it to you, Uncle Chen."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he called early; Chen Xiaoxiao's parents hadn't even informed her of her award yet.
I just hope we can keep this a secret until Chen Xiaoxiao's birthday...
They lived in fear and trepidation for several days until Chen Xiaoxiao returned to the East China Sea after her Antarctic trip.
Just as Lin Chen had guessed, Chen Xiaoxiao seemed completely unaware that she had won an award.
After a few days of publicity, the national competition has long since been out of the news.
Shortly after Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, the day finally arrived for him and Chen Xiaoxiao to report to the capital.
Lin Chen's university life is finally about to begin.
……
Airport on the day of departure.
Lin Chen's parents followed Chen Xiaoxiao's family to the airport to see the two off.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin originally wanted to accompany their son to the capital to report for duty.
Fortunately, Lin Chen persuaded him, and Chen Xiaoxiao's father, Chen Cheng, accompanied him on this trip.
That finally made the elderly couple give up the idea.
"Son, take good care of yourself while you're away from home."
"Son, take this card. This is the money for the home renovation. It's what you saved up, so you can use it."
"son……"
Although this wasn't Lin Chen's first time traveling far from home, the thought of his son spending the next six months in the capital still lingered.
The elderly couple were still somewhat reluctant to part, and gave each other many words of advice at the airport.
Lin Chen looked at his parents, his heart filled with emotion.
"Dad, Mom, please take good care of yourselves. Don't make yourselves suffer while I'm gone."
At this moment, a gentle breeze stirred, ruffling Lin Chen's clothes, just like the saying, "There will be times when the wind and waves will be broken, and the sails will be hoisted to cross the vast sea."
I am about to embark on a new journey, but my parents' love and support will be my strongest backing.
Compared to Lin Chen's family, Chen Xiaoxiao's situation was much more uneventful.
After all, her father was there to look after her in the capital, and Meng Lan could fly there anytime she wanted to see him and her father.
"Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of Lin Chen when we get to the capital."
Chen Xiaoxiao said from the side.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you saying? How can you take care of our Lin Chen? Lin Chen, when you get there, remember to take good care of Xiaoxiao!"
Although Lin's mother said this, her face was full of smiles.
"I understand, Mom and Dad. You can go back now, we're leaving."
Lin Chen made a promise to the two of them, and then pulled Chen Xiaoxiao through the security check.
"By the way, my mom just asked me to take care of you. Your mom didn't seem to object?"
As Lin Chen walked, he said, "So, does that mean she's already agreed to us dating?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I never said I wanted to date you!"
Chen Xiaoxiao raised her head high.
Lin Chen smiled, but reached out and took her hand.
Chen Xiaoxiao struggled slightly, then fell silent.
However, just as the two were walking hand in hand, a coughing sound came from behind them.
"Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten that your father is still here?"
When Chen Xiaoxiao turned around, she saw her father, Chen Cheng, staring at the two of them. She quickly blushed and broke free from Lin Chen's grasp.
"Uncle Chen..."
Lin Chen looked at Chen Cheng with a helpless expression.
Chen Cheng, shameless as ever, said, "Calling me won't help; you guys just don't take me seriously at all!"
Once on the plane, the three of them went straight to business class.
Meng Lan paid for all the plane tickets this time.
She certainly wouldn't mistreat her daughter, so she booked a business class ticket right away.
As for Lin Chen, he benefited from Chen Xiaoxiao's fame.
However, since she booked the tickets herself, Meng Lan naturally wouldn't let Lin Chen take advantage of her for nothing.
Chen Xiaoxiao was seated with her father, Chen Cheng, while Lin Chen was seated alone in another location.
When the three of them were registering, a passenger was already sitting next to Lin Chen.
This is a beautiful woman who looks to be in her early twenties, dressed flamboyantly and wearing sunglasses.
The beautiful woman was scrolling through her phone, but as soon as Lin Chen sat down, she immediately stopped and her eyes lit up.
She took off her sunglasses and openly sized up Lin Chen a few times.
"Handsome, are you going to the capital?"
"Yes."
Lin Chen thought to himself, "What nonsense! This plane is flying directly to Beijing. Where else can I go if I don't go to Beijing?"
Just then, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate.
When I picked it up, I was surprised to find it was a text message from Chen Xiaoxiao.
"A romantic encounter? (Evil grin.jpg)"
"There's no way around it, it's the trouble of being too handsome."
"Watch your step! (Raises knife.jpg)"
At this moment, upon seeing Lin Chen, she replied with a single sentence and then started scrolling through her phone, causing the beautiful woman to frown.
She has never lacked suitors.
But this was the first time he had ever seen someone completely ignore him.
She flipped her hair three times in a row, and a scent of perfume immediately wafted into Lin Chen's nose.
"Wow! Hair flip attack! (eye roll)"
"This is so annoying, I can hardly breathe! (vomits)"
"Should I, this heroine, lend a hand?"
"Please!" (Hands clasped together)
At this moment, seeing Lin Chen still playing on his phone, the beautiful woman frowned and said directly:
"Hey handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"
Lin Chen looked up and saw that Chen Xiaoxiao in front of him had already gotten up and was preparing to come over.
He then laughed and said, "Sorry, I already have a girlfriend."
"You have a girlfriend? How does she compare to me?"
"Sorry, you probably can't compare to my girlfriend."
The beautiful woman rolled her eyes, her face full of disdain.
But just then, she saw Lin Chen wave at Chen Xiaoxiao.
The beautiful woman couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise upon glancing at Chen Xiaoxiao.
Even in the eyes of women, Chen Xiaoxiao is incredibly stunning.
Chen Xiaoxiao walked over, glanced at the beautiful woman, and finally her gaze fell on the sunglasses in her hand.
"Sister, your sunglasses are nice."
Just as she was marveling at Chen Xiaoxiao's charm, the beautiful woman immediately snapped out of it, then flashed her sunglasses and said:
"Does your sister like it? This is GUCCI's latest model, it's only about 1000 US dollars."
"That's really cheap!"
Chen Xiaoxiao nodded seriously, then took out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket.
“My mom insisted on giving this to me, saying it’s a Chopard brand and costs over 40 yuan. She said it would be better to give it to you, sister, so you wouldn’t feel bad if it got broken.”
"Uh……"
The beautiful woman immediately recognized Chen Xiaoxiao upon seeing the sunglasses in her hand.
Isn't this Chopard, the brand famous for its diamond sunglasses?
The price is 40, and it's made in US gold!
Thinking of Lin Chen's words, the beautiful woman's face immediately turned red, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
She thought she was a rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned woman, but she never expected that Chen Xiaoxiao was even fairer, richer, and more beautiful than her!
Lin Chen smiled and shook his head.
I never imagined that my girlfriend could be even more ruthless than me when it comes to slapping me in the face!
