Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Talent Cannot Be Stolen

He wore a light beige casual outfit that made his pale skin seem even more striking. One hand was casually tucked in his pocket, and beneath his gold-rimmed glasses, his phoenix eyes slight raised, exuded a lazy, carefree charm. Simply standing there, he resembled a refined, handsome model from a magazine cover.

Qin Cheng followed behind Fu Si, seemingly reporting something.

The moment he saw Chi Gui, Fu Si raised his eyebrows and greeted with a light chuckle, “Chi, good evening.”

His smile seemed to diffuse like ink in water, captivating and stunning.

Qin Cheng also greeted.

Chi Gui: “Good evening.”

…

She took out her keys to unlock the door.

Fu Si noticed the supermarket bag she was holding and was slightly surprised, “You can cook?”

Chi Gui: “Yeah, I know a little.”

After Chi Gui entered the house, Qin Cheng felt a bit emotional, “Mr. Fu, it seems Miss Chi bought only cheap vegetables. Though her clothes are well-matched and appropriate, they are a bit old… She’s hardly cherished at the Chi Family home, probably struggling financially…”

Fu Si remained silent, remembering the past few breakfast times when Chi Gui had only ordered the cheapest soybean pudding and wouldn’t even treat herself to an egg…

Fu Si’s gaze deepened.

Chi Gui was unaware of the misunderstanding by the two men outside. After finishing her dinner and putting the plates in the sink, the robotic housekeeper, Little Guai, had already fitted its mechanical arms with automatic dishwashing brushes, scrubbing while playing music.

Even its compact mechanical body swayed along with the song.

Chi Gui: ?

Is it trying to mimic humans humming?

It looked somewhat comical… yet also quite cute…

Just then, the phone in the living room rang.

Chi Gui answered it, hearing a kind voice from the other end, “Xiao Chi, how have you been resting lately?”

Chi Gui smiled, “Good evening, Grandpa Zhou. I’ve been resting as per your instructions! My hand barely hurts now.”

Zhou Wei, the nation’s top hand surgeon and an academician, treated Chi Gui with the same affection he would his own granddaughter. Like Lin Bo Tong, he was part of the National Medical Research Institute High-level Expert Group.

Hearing her response, he also smiled, “That’s great. Next week, I’ll be traveling to Nancheng for work. Come to the hospital then, I’ll give your hand a follow-up checkup.”

“Sure,” Chi Gui replied with a smile.

–

The next day.

There was only one day left until the recording of the variety show “Shining Star,” where Liu Hai was participating.

Su Niannian became even more nervous, and with Liu Hai’s help, her composition was nearly complete.

After class, Xue Yao walked up to Su Niannian with a smug expression, giggling, “Oh, you’re still trying? But it’s the selection round tomorrow, isn’t it too late?”

Su Niannian ignored her, and Xue Yao coldly smirked, suddenly leaning in and whispering, “Su Niannian, how wonderful it must feel to be defeated by your own composition tomorrow? You really should thank me, without me, you wouldn’t have had such a novel experience!”

Taking advantage of Su Niannian’s lack of evidence, she spoke without fear.

After saying that, Xue Yao leisurely watched Su Niannian, eager to see her angry or sad expression.

Unexpectedly, Su Niannian merely looked up calmly and said softly, “You’re right, I really should thank you.”

Xue Yao was stunned.

Su Niannian continued, “If you hadn’t stolen my composition, I wouldn’t have met such remarkable people and wouldn’t have been able to write such a stunning piece!”

“What?” Xue Yao frowned.

Su Niannian stood up, carefully putting the score into her backpack.

She was taller than Xue Yao, and now standing, her gaze turned into one of looking down, “Xue Yao, in this world, the only thing that cannot be stolen is talent.”
