Before he had seen the Immortal Lake, Zhang Xiao Xiao had always thought that this should only be a larger pond in the depths of the valley.

However, when she followed behind Zhou Cheng and turned a corner filled with dense trees, the scenery in front of her suddenly opened up.

One was a green, unknown bird. It brushed across the surface of the lake, lightly touched it, then spread its wings and flew high into the sky, disappearing into the forest.

Zhou Cheng actually didn't want to disturb the two of them, but he felt that it was necessary for him to ask whether or not he was still needed to stay here.

Zhou Cheng suppressed his voice to its lowest, and whispered into Ling Chen's ear: "Mr. Ling, should I go and prepare now?"

Ling Chen's line of sight was fixed on Zhang Xiao Xiao's body. He absent-mindedly nodded towards Zhou Cheng, causing Zhou Cheng to suspect if Ling Chen had heard what he had just said clearly.

However, regardless of whether Ling Chen heard clearly or not, he had already gotten Ling Chen's nod.

Thus, Zhou Cheng quickly disappeared from the image. This scene looked like he didn't want to be single anymore.

After the crowd dispersed, Ling Chen took two steps forward and hugged her tightly from Zhang Xiao Xiao's back.

His body that was taller than Zhang Xiao Xiao by quite a bit, allowed him to directly wrap this little girl in his embrace. It was as if the two of them had become one and would never part again.

Zhang Xiao Xiao did not give him a sudden hug or reaction.

She grabbed Ling Chen's wrist, and said with a gentle voice, "Uncle, when we become old, if we could live together in such a beautiful place like this, how nice would it be?"

Zhang Xiao Xiao's voice was filled with boundless anticipation, making him feel as if she could already see what it would be like when they grew old and lived in a place like this.

Ling Chen lowered his head, and kissed Zhang Xiao Xiao's face, then his low voice sounded beside Zhang Xiao Xiao's ears.

He said to Zhang Xiao Xiao in a very understanding manner, "Alright, I'll prepare a valley for you in the future. At that time, you can lead the life you want, come to the lake to draw, and you can also do it in the forest."

The two of them did not say anything else. The crisp sounds of birds chirping and the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind were incredibly gentle.

At this moment, the sound of water by the lake suddenly grew louder.

Zhang Xiao Xiao curiously looked over, and saw a scene that left her dumbstruck.

A huge water wheel, which had been dark and shiny for many years, slowly rose from the lake.

While the water wheel was rising, it was already slowly turning.

The clear water of the lake flowed down from the carriage and the sunlight shined on it like countless gems falling to the ground.

Ling Chen's smiling voice rang beside his ears, "What do you think of this pleasant surprise?"

Zhang Xiao Xiao was shocked speechless by the scene in front of him.

Until the water wheel completely fell out of the lake and started to spin slowly and powerfully, only then did she suddenly turn around and embrace Ling Chen.

Zhang Xiao Xiao seemed like a little kid who had just received a new year gift for the first time, jumping with joy, "Uncle, you're too awesome, how did you find this thing? "She's really beautiful."

"I knew you'd like it."

Ling Chen was very satisfied with her reaction as he lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

Actually, Ling Chen did not think that he would bring Zhang Xiao Xiao over here.

He had originally wanted to take Zhang Xiao Xiao overseas in two days. If they were abroad, it wouldn't be easy for people here to discover them.

However, Du Zetang had later reminded him that if someone were to check his and Zhang Xiao Xiao's exit records, even a little carelessness could cause them to slip up.

Just as he was worrying about where he should go, Ling Chen suddenly thought of what Zhou Cheng had told him before, about his old home in the neighboring city.

At first, Ling Chen only thought that this was a village that was seldom disturbed by outsiders.

Being with the little girl for so long, Ling Chen was very confident of the kind of place she would like and the kind of scenery she would see.

As expected, he brought the little girl here as if it was just what he wanted.

After Zhang Xiao Xiao passed the initial burst of excitement, she began to sigh and say: "Ah, if I had known this would happen, I would have brought all the paintings and flowers, at least I would have brought a sketchbook."

Coincidentally, just as she finished speaking, the bearing that went to start the water wheel came over with a huge box on its back.

"Miss Zhang, Mr. Ling understands you so well, he must have prepared everything for you."

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he put down the box on his back and opened it in front of Zhang Xiao Xiao.

Inside the box, there was a drawing rack, watercolors, water powder, various pigments, and even charcoal.

No matter what Zhang Xiao Xiao wanted to draw, no matter how sshe wanted to draw, he did not need to worry.

Every time he wanted something, he would get what he wanted, as though Ling Chen had turned into Santa Claus. Zhang Xiao Xiao felt that no matter what she said now, she could not express her feelings.

All day long, I've heard other students say that the male lead of this TV series, Su is crazy, and the male lead of that TV show, Su is crazy.

But at this moment, Zhang Xiao Xiao deeply felt that his uncle was the one who caused Su Moyu to break his legs.

Ling Chen pinched Zhang Xiao Xiao's fair and tender cheeks, his handsome eyes were filled with tenderness, and she said to Zhang Xiao Xiao: "What are you standing there for? Didn't you just say that you want to paint? How about it, which one do you want to use? "

Zhang Xiao Xiao's index finger caressed her lips. After thinking for a while, she decided, "Un, I'll draw the watercolor then."

If it was just a sketch of such a beautiful scenery, wouldn't it be a waste?

It was still better to use water colors that were brighter.

After setting up the easel, Zhang Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of something and said to Ling Chen: "Uncle, let me draw a painting for you."
