Chapter 236 A Greeting Gift That Touched Lu Wei's Heart
After Bai Mengran left, inside the Lu family's old residence.
Lu Weihuai stood inside the mansion gate, a broad smile on his face, waving goodbye to his idol.
His expression immediately changed, and he regained his usual stern demeanor.
He then turned to his granddaughter beside him and said, "Yanran, you deserve a lot of credit for bringing our distinguished guests here today."
Why don't you stay with Grandfather, have dinner together, and then go back?
Lu Weihuai's heart was still filled with sunshine, but remembering that this was all thanks to his granddaughter, he kindly invited her to dinner.
When Lu Yanran heard her grandfather ask her to stay for a meal, her pupils suddenly contracted!
Oh no... She and her grandfather simply couldn't get along when it came to food. She didn't like any of the dishes he liked. How could she politely refuse?
Just as she was caught in a dilemma, she suddenly remembered something.
Oh, right, you can order takeout with the [Wonderland Bracelet] you just bought!
Feeling instantly rescued, Lu Yanran quickly said:
"Grandfather, your granddaughter just bought a magical bracelet in [Fairyland], which is said to allow you to order takeout directly."
"How about our granddaughter arranges dinner tonight and orders takeout for Grandpa?"
Upon hearing the words "fairyland," Lu Weihuai reflexively agreed: "Then, thanks to Yanran, let this old man, Grandfather, also experience this novelty."
Since he could have a hot meal from Wonderland for dinner, Lu Weihuai handed the whole matter over to his granddaughter, and he just waited to enjoy the delicious food.
Lately, he's become increasingly picky about food. He used to be content with simple dishes, but now he's become obsessed with the delicacies of "heaven."
Leaving his granddaughter to herself, Lu Weihuai strode briskly towards the study, humming a little tune.
He was already eager to examine the precious gifts that Miss Bai had given him.
"Miss Bai said this is ink that doesn't need grinding, so she asked me to try it..."
Lu Wei picked up a bottle of ink, its surface glossy black and smooth as jade, with great anticipation.
I carefully unscrewed the bottle cap, then aimed the ink spout at a finely carved inkstone, crafted by a master, and very carefully dripped in a few drops of ink.
As the rich and warm black ink, as smooth as jade, slowly flowed out, Lu Weihuai's excited smile reached the sky.
"Wow, this ink is so smooth and even has a pleasant fragrance. It's incredibly convenient!"
He immediately picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and tried writing a few small characters. He found that the ink flowed extremely smoothly, just like the ink that had been painstakingly ground.
"What did Miss Bai just call this black board? Oh, I remember now, it's called a graffiti board! Hehe, luckily my memory is still good."
Lu Weihuai then turned to studying the doodle erasing board that Bai Mengran had given him.
This is actually just an ordinary children's drawing board that Bai Mengran uses to take notes or sketch before drawing. She bought it from a Douyin live stream for only a dozen yuan.
But in Lu Weihuai's hands, it became a priceless treasure.
He was surprised to find that this board was extraordinary. With a light stroke of the pen attached to the top, it immediately left a mark, making it very convenient and easy to use for conceiving paintings.
Soon, a line drawing of his idol appeared on the board.
Lu Weihuai pressed the clear button, and the board instantly returned to its original state.
"Haha, this is truly wonderful! This board can actually be reused, so we won't have to waste so many drafts!" Old Master Lu was overjoyed and couldn't put it down.
If Bai Mengran saw this right now, she would probably yell before Lu Weihuai could press the clear button, "Old Lu, wait! Let me take a picture first before you clear it!"
Next, when he saw that there was another large bag of painting tools that the girl in white said were easy to carry around, Lu Weihuai was dumbfounded once again.
Especially when he opened the bag and saw the large box of paints in all colors.
"Good heavens, even painting can be used instantly? My goodness, this old man has truly seen something new!"
I wonder where Miss Bai got these rare treasures from? They are truly invaluable!
When you go out to gather inspiration and want to doodle whenever you feel like it, these treasures make things so much easier...
Next time his fellow artists go on a sketching trip together, he'll definitely take them to show off to those old guys and have a good look at their work!
Then his gaze was drawn to the large object in another bag.
According to Miss Bai, it was specially given to him to massage his legs and feet?
Lu Weihuai couldn't resist opening the box and taking it out. It was immediately clear that the groove in the middle was for resting one's feet.
Curious, he placed the massager on the ground, sat on the armchair, and carefully put his feet inside.
"Hello, welcome to the [Smart Leg and Foot Massager]. Just five minutes a day will make your legs and feet feel refreshed! Let's begin the massage now, enjoy!"
"Ouch~"
With a sudden contraction, Lu Weihuai's legs were tightly wrapped, followed by a warm sensation.
Then, various techniques such as kneading, pinching, pounding, and tapping were used alternately, and the acupoints on the soles of the feet were also massaged simultaneously with rollers, bringing him an unprecedentedly comfortable experience.
"Oh my, it's really comfortable once you get used to it. It feels like my old bones have been revitalized!"
Lu Weihuai squinted his eyes, enjoying the five-minute leg massage with pleasure.
He thought to himself that every gift Miss Bai gave him was truly touching.
Finally, when his gaze fell upon the well-bound book "Principles of Animation," he was utterly astonished, his eyes lighting up!
This is... good heavens, Miss Bai actually taught him all her best skills, that's so generous!
"I, Lu Weihuai, hereby declare that from this moment on, Miss Bai is not only my idol, but also my mentor! What a noble mentor!"
Afterwards, Lu Weihuai immersed himself in this book that overturned his understanding, eagerly absorbing the knowledge within, his mind unable to calm down for a long time...
Meanwhile, Bai Mengran had already returned to her most cozy villa haven.
She planned to finish today's tasks in one go, and then she could enjoy a happy time off work.
"System, System, show yourself now and get to work!"
[Wuhu, I've arrived! Host, it's been so long, have you missed me?]
Upon hearing the system's slightly exaggerated tone, Bai Mengran guessed what was going on. "What's wrong, little system? Did you accumulate a lot of points again today?"
The system, exposed on the spot by its host, felt as if it had choked on its own breath.
Uh, the one who knows me best is none other than the host~ Another day of gaining 65 points!
Today is a good day! All my wishes will come true!
"Stop, stop, stop! Tongzi, you're tone-deaf! Stop singing and get down to business. I need to read novels and play games after work!"
Bai Mengran was startled by its strange tone. It turned out that her system sang off-key! Hahaha!
The system was filled with sorrow. It had accidentally gone too far in showing off, and now its little secret of being tone-deaf had been discovered by its host in a grand manner.
[Hmph, here's a report on today's mission completion!]
