The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Lin Guiying and the others greeted them politely, appearing somewhat reserved.

They learned a lot along the way.

This is the city center, where land is incredibly valuable, and I never expected there to be a villa area here.

As soon as they entered, security guards questioned them about their purpose and escorted them to the door.

Upon arriving at the entrance and seeing the three-story villa, they all widened their eyes in astonishment.

This old man looked like he couldn't afford to eat yesterday, but I never expected him to be so rich.

Lin Guojun's heart was pounding, and he almost turned back home.

Lin Guiying comforted him, telling him not to be afraid. She said that her master had eaten a whole goose yesterday, and although he was rich, he was still just an ordinary person.

This calmed Lin Guojun down.

The group sat down uneasily.

Lin Xi sat down to Fu Wenyuan's left, with Gu Zheng, who was watching her intently, on the other side.

Just then, an elegant old lady came down from upstairs.

Several disciples stood up and called out "Master's Wife," and Lin Xi followed suit, calling her "Master's Wife" as well.

Lin Guiying and the others stood up and smiled in acknowledgment.

The lady of the house and the house are of the same style; she looks very wealthy.

Wu Jingshu went straight to Lin Xi, her eyes overflowing with affection.

He patted the little girl's head and said, "You must be tired from your journey. My husband has been talking about you every day. I'm so glad to finally meet you in person."

I've read your article too; it's very well written.

"Madam, have you read my article?"

"Xiao Fan brought me a few illustrated books of young adult novels yesterday. Now I consider myself a fan who appreciates each other."

Lin Xi smiled shyly, "Thank you for your approval, Madam."

After chatting with the little girl, Wu Jingshu greeted Lin Guiying and the others one by one.

He also praised Lin Guiying's pickled vegetables, saying they were delicious and that he would teach her how to make them when he had time.

The old lady spoke softly and gently, and was elegant and easygoing.

A few words dispelled the tension between Lin Guojun and Lin Dayuan, and the atmosphere immediately became harmonious.

Fu Wenyuan couldn't wait any longer.

He took the initiative to sit in the main seat and let Lin Xi begin the apprenticeship ceremony.

Gu Zheng and the others were all jealous.

Even Wang Yizhi, who was always a gentleman, frowned in confusion.

It seems that Master actively sought out and accepted Junior Sister.

When he became an apprentice, his father went to great lengths to find connections.

I finally got in touch with my mentor, but I got a good scolding from him.

In the end, it was only through his own sincerity that he managed to gain entry into his teacher's home after enduring half a month of hardship.

Lin Xi respectfully presented the apprenticeship certificate and gifts, and according to custom, kowtowed and performed the grand ceremony before rising to serve tea.

Fu Wenyuan hurriedly drank the tea and then took Lin Xi to offer incense. Only then did he finally feel relieved.

From now on, he will be Lin Xi's rightful master.

This day has really come through a lot.

"Xiao Xi, let me introduce you to some of your senior brothers."

Although they're not very capable, they're still somewhat useful. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to go to them.

Fu Wenyuan pointed at Li Kefan.

"You already know this person, your third senior brother. He founded Youth Novel Illustration."

He pointed to Gu Zheng, who was glaring angrily at Lin Xi.

"This is your second senior brother, named Gu Zheng. He owns the bookstore where we met. You can pick any book you want from now on."

Lin Xi raised an eyebrow.

This lunatic is quite capable.

That bookstore is a nationwide chain, with branches all over the country.

They may even expand overseas soon.

Next to Gu Zheng was a middle-aged man with a straight posture and a gentle and refined demeanor.

His temples were already streaked with gray, but with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he must have been a handsome man in his youth.

Lin Xi felt that he looked familiar.

"This is your senior brother, Wang Yizhi. He has succeeded me as the current chairman of the Xia Kingdom Writers Association."

The voice just fell.

Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise, her face beaming with delight, "Master Wang! A walking Chinese antique!"

In her previous life, the person she admired most was Wang Yizhi.

However, by the time he became a viral sensation online, he already had a full head of white hair.

That's why she didn't recognize him at first.

Saying he's a walking Chinese antique doesn't mean he's old.

Rather, he was knowledgeable about all books, including ancient texts.

He has an extremely deep literary background; there is no book he hasn't read.

He is also the only writer to have served three consecutive terms as chairman.

She actually saw him in person! The young him!

Wang Yizhi felt a little embarrassed seeing how excited the young girl was to see him.

Is he that famous? This young girl even knows the nickname his colleagues gave him?

"Master Wang, could you... could you sign your autograph for me?"

Lin Xi fumbled around for paper and pen.

Wang Yizhi casually pulled out a notebook.

He signed his name on it and handed it to Lin Xi.

"It's brand new, so I'll give it to you."

Lin Xixin accepted it with great joy, like a fervent fan.

Fu Wenyuan said jealously, "You know him, but you don't know me?"

What's so great about him? Why didn't you ask me for his autograph?

"Master, my eldest brother is amazing. He knows everything."

I've read more books than I've eaten salt.

There's nothing he can't do: novels, essays, poetry!

He doesn't write articles easily, but whatever he does write always wins an award!

He's also the chairman of the Writers' Association!

And they won it for three consecutive years!

Fu Wenyuan was furious.

"I am also the chairman of the Xia Kingdom Writers Association! And all his skills were taught by me!"

Lin Xi naturally couldn't say, but you're too old and too low-key, I've never heard of you!

All I can say is, "Hehe, Master, you're the best!"

Wang Yizhi never expected his junior sister to admire him so much, not even his master received such treatment, and he immediately felt extremely proud.

He will take good care of the girl from now on.

Li Kefan felt uneasy. Why wasn't he this excited when he saw me yesterday?

Gu Zheng is jealous of everyone.

At first, I looked down on the girl, but then I saw how enthusiastic she was towards my senior brother.

He snorted and casually pulled out a silver card.

"Here you go, little kid. This is for you. You can just use this card when you come to my store in the future."

Lin Xi immediately accepted it, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

Seeing how happy the little girl was, Gu Zheng suddenly found her more agreeable.

The doorbell rang, and Li Kefan went straight to open it.

Several chefs dressed in white and wearing tall hats walked in carrying tools and ingredients.

Li Kefan said to Lin Xi, "Junior Sister, your third senior brother has ordered a feast for you. These are chefs from a five-star hotel. Let them cook you a home-style meal."

Lin Xi smiled and thanked her.

Lin Guiying clicked her tongue in amazement.

If a five-star chef calls his food "home-style cooking," then what should she call it?

Lin Guojun and Lin Dayuan thought to themselves that rich people don't cook for themselves or eat out.

The chef will come to your home to cook.

Gained knowledge again.

While waiting for the food.

Fu Wenyuan led Lin Xi to the second floor.

Unlike the opulent first floor, the second floor is filled with wooden tables, chairs, and decorations.

There is a faint scent of ink and paper.

When Lin Xi opened the door, the scene inside greatly surprised her.

It's all books! Neatly stacked, covering an entire wall!

The bookshelves were as tall as the ceiling, and a ladder was placed next to them. Walking inside, you would find that it wasn't just this one wall; all the walls were filled with books!

There were so many books that they were impossible to count; standing in the center of the room felt like being submerged in a sea of ​​books.

"My God, Master, this is magnificent!"

Fu Wenyuan knew Lin Xi would like this place, so he came specifically to show it to her.

Seeing his little apprentice's surprised expression, he felt very satisfied.

"Xiao Xi, there's more than just this one. All the rooms on the second floor are studies. Feel free to look around and take whatever you want."

"What? This whole row of rooms is full of books?"

"Of course, there are also some ancient books and rare editions that I have treasured on the third floor. I'll take you to see them in a bit."

Lin Xi was like a little hamster that had entered a granary, looking at each room one by one, and making "waa waa waa" noises incessantly in each one she looked at.

At this moment, she finally understood the benefits of becoming an apprentice; it was such a wonderful experience!

You can watch it anytime you want! You could probably watch it all in a lifetime!
