The longed-for village system

Chapter 143 Why Choose Me

"Not bad, woman, you're getting more and more conscious of yourself. You'd better treat me well in the future, or I might run off with another girl."

Zhao Xiaogu was waiting for her husband to comfort her, but instead she received a smug reply.

This is outrageous! They just got their marriage certificate and don't even have a child yet! And he's already thinking about finding a young woman.

"Honey, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again." Zhao Xiaogu looked at Chen Qing with a forced smile.

Chen Qing instantly felt a murderous aura coming towards him, and seeing Zhao Xiaogu's expression, his survival instinct immediately kicked in. "No, I said my wife is beautiful, so no matter how I draw her, she'll be beautiful."

"Hmph! That's more like it." Seeing the man admit defeat, Zhao Xiaogu smugly tossed her head, picked up the drawing paper, and exclaimed again, "Why is it so beautiful! It's so lifelike and vivid! I have to send the video to my fans right now."

Soon, a new video appeared on Zhao Xiaogu's official Weibo account and Douyin. Her fans naturally watched it immediately and were amazed by the video.

"A monster? The landlady has such skills? You must be kidding!"

"Unbelievable, is this a painting? I thought it was a photo pasted on! It's amazing."

"As a student of the Beijing Painting Academy, I am in awe of the landlord's painting skills. He is amazing, even more so than my teacher. Look closely at the expression in the eyes of the goddess Xiao Gu."

"Exquisite and lifelike, even the goddess's eyes are brought to life. With this skill, it is no exaggeration to call him a master."

After watching the video, fans left comments expressing their collective amazement at Chen Qing's painting skills, and they never even considered doubting him.

One reason is their absolute trust in their idol, and the other is that they have watched the show "Back to Field" and know that Chen Qing is a treasure boy, so it makes sense for him to have an additional painting skill.

However, it wasn't just fans on Douyin who saw it; many casual viewers also came across it. As a result, many people who felt unbalanced or had some ability started to comment and question it.

"They must have just used one color. Who wouldn't use color after the painting is finished?"

"These celebrities are such good actors these days, why don't they try drawing live on air!"

"That's totally fake. If he had that kind of skill, why would he need to be a celebrity? Wouldn't he be better off as a painter?"

"I just chuckled and didn't say anything. I didn't expect Zhao Xiaogu to start creating hype."

Zhao Xiaogu did not read the comments on Douyin. She only interacted with fans on her official Weibo account. Douyin was mostly for work and tasks.

Finally, she reminded fans to watch the show they were participating in, "Happy Camp," that evening, saying there would be a little surprise.

After chatting with her fans, Zhao Xiaogu carefully put away the portrait, planning to have it framed and collected by a craftsman another day. Then, she nestled in Chen Qing's arms and happily watched a TV series.

After dinner and washing up, the two went to bed and cuddled together. At 8 o'clock sharp, they tuned into Hunan TV to watch the new episode of Happy Camp.

"Honey, don't you think the production team is really mean? They gave us topics like twins and triplets. How am I supposed to perform alone?"

When Zhao Xiaogu saw her own expression on TV, she felt the production team was being a bit too mean. They hadn't even registered their marriage yet! She had only just completed her transformation from a young girl to a woman, so how could they give her such a difficult question!
"I think it's great! This is also a blessing from the production team. Maybe you'll get pregnant soon!"

"Mmm! I hope so! I can look forward to it now!" After making a plan, the two of them were looking forward to this day. When Zhao Xiaogu was lying down, she would sometimes subconsciously touch her belly and was slightly disappointed when she found that she was not pregnant.

She vividly remembers the scene in her dream where she was lying on a chair with a big pregnant belly, and the man next to her was carefully lying on her belly and 'threatening' the child.

Because the two of them were watching the updates on their computers, they could see the comments from netizens, and they didn't take the good-natured jokes and laughter to heart.

Viewers applauded the Happy Camp program's tricks on Zhao Xiaogu and Chen Qing. Since they couldn't change the fact that they had registered their marriage, they might as well make a fuss and participate.

However, as the program aired, they gradually became shocked. They discovered that Chen Qing could actually paint, and her painting skills were so strong that she could sketch a lotus pond under the moonlight with just a few strokes.

Among them were viewers who had stumbled upon the video on Douyin that afternoon. They had initially questioned whether Zhao Xiaogu and Chen Qing were actually playing them, but now they were certain that the portrait of Zhao Xiaogu was indeed drawn by Chen Qing.

"Holy crap! This guy can actually draw! Wasn't he just acting in the video?"

"Unfortunately, I'm not well-educated, so I can only say 'Wow!' to show my respect. I never expected that the landlord would actually be able to draw."

"Why don't they just fly to the heavens! How can anyone live like this? Marrying a goddess is one thing, but she's also incredibly talented."

"God is unfair! It's one thing to be able to write lyrics, compose music, and sing, and it's another to be able to build houses and practice traditional Chinese medicine, but why can he also paint? Did God really give him all his talents and skills except for his good looks?"

"It's confirmed, he's God's illegitimate son."

"As a fan of Yaya, I'm so glad that this guy was taken by Goddess Xiaogu, otherwise my goddess would have been doomed if she had met him."

"We are both glad that I am a fan of Shi Ye (Poetry Master)."

"I'm a fan of Tangtang, thank you, Goddess Xiaogu."

A group of viewers' comments went off-topic, and they now genuinely admired Chen Qing's talent. Although they were a little envious that Chen Qing was able to marry the goddess, it didn't affect their objective evaluation of Chen Qing.

If I had such talent and ability, I would definitely be able to attract a goddess to marry me. It's just a pity that God is unfair.

Zhao Xiaogu was quite happy to see the audience's comments, but when a large group of people were thanking Chen Qing for not accepting the 'goddess's' favor, she became a little curious.

"Honey, why did you choose me? Is it because I was the first person to express my love to you?"

Zhao Xiaogu is confident, but she's not arrogant enough to think she's the most beautiful woman in the world. There are plenty of women in this industry who are more beautiful and have better temperament than her.

Putting everything else aside, just look at how each of her 90s girlfriends has an extraordinary temperament: Mi Mi, Shi Shi, Angel, Qin Qin, Tang Tang, Ya Ya, and so on.

In terms of temperament, I can't compare to Shishi; in terms of virtuousness, I definitely can't compare to Yaya; in terms of ability, I can't compare to Yang Mi. The only thing I can compare with them in is appearance.

"There's no reason why! Feelings are something that can't be explained in words. When you feel it's right, you naturally get together." Chen Qing thought for a moment and answered truthfully.
