A Billionaire CEO Brings His Child Home: The Awakening of the Stay-at-Home Dad System

When Shen Xiaoting woke up from her afternoon nap, she was lying on the bed, hugging her rabbit, her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling for a while.

Chen Hao was asleep next to me, his breathing was very even.

She turned to look at her father, then turned back to look at the ceiling.

She suddenly remembered something.

She sat up and nudged her father's shoulder, saying, "Daddy, Daddy."

Chen Hao opened his eyes and saw his daughter sitting next to him, her hair messy, with a serious expression on her face.

"What's wrong, Tingting?"

"Dad, can you draw?"

Chen Hao was taken aback for a moment, then sat up and rubbed his eyes: "Drawing? Tingting wants to draw?"

"Yes." Shen Xiaoting nodded. "I want to draw, but I'm not good at it. My dad will teach me."

Chen Hao looked into his daughter's bright, sparkling eyes and smiled.

"Dad can draw, and he teaches Tingting to draw. But we don't have any art supplies at home, so we have to go to the city to buy them."

"I want to go with Dad!" Shen Xiaoting jumped off the bed and stepped barefoot onto the floor.

"Okay, let's go together. Put your shoes on first."

Chen Hao helped his daughter put on her shoes and then re-braided her pigtails.

He changed into a clean T-shirt, picked up his car keys, and took his daughter's hand as they walked out of the yard.

He walked to the car, put his daughter in the child safety seat in the back seat, fastened her seatbelt, and then got into the driver's seat.

Instead of starting the car, he turned on the live stream first.

As soon as the live stream started, viewers flooded in.

After these days of live streaming, he has nearly 380,000 fans, and the number of viewers exceeded 6,000 in less than a minute after he started streaming.

"It's open! Good afternoon, host!"

"What are we doing this afternoon? Making another Trojan horse?"

"Tingting changed into a cute little dress!"

"Is the streamer taking his car keys and about to leave?"

Chen Hao sent a message using his mind: "Good afternoon."

Tingting wants to learn to draw, but she doesn't have any drawing tools at home, so she goes to the county town to buy some.

I'll come back and teach her to draw.

"The streamer can also draw?! Really?"

"I'm increasingly wondering what this streamer did before. Carpenter, bricklayer, electrician, chef, doctor, origami, planter, and now they're adding painting to the mix?"

"He's definitely an all-around streamer."

"How good is the streamer's drawing skill? Is it just random scribbling or does he actually know how to draw?"

"Looking forward to it! I want to see the streamer draw!"

"If the streamer is also good at drawing, then I'll really be impressed."

Chen Hao didn't reply to the comments, and started the car.

The white SUV drove out of the village road, onto the provincial highway, and headed towards the county town.

Shen Xiaoting sat in the back seat, holding a rabbit, her little face turned towards the car window, humming a nursery rhyme, her little feet swinging back and forth.

As Chen Hao drove, a thought struck him, and he opened the system shop.

He typed "painting" into the search bar, and the system immediately displayed a row of products—

[Drawing for Beginners: 100 popularity points]

Chen Hao clicked "God-level painting" without hesitation.

[Ding! You have spent 2000 popularity points to exchange for a god-level painting skill!]

[Skill import in progress... Import complete.]

In an instant, a flood of information rushed into his mind—

Human proportions, perspective principles, color theory, light and shadow relationships, composition rules, techniques and material properties of different painting genres...

He learned about the relationship between the hardness of a pencil and the lines, and he understood the difference between dry and wet techniques in watercolor painting.

We learned about the advantages and disadvantages of direct and indirect painting techniques in oil painting, and the differences between meticulous and freehand brushwork in traditional Chinese painting.

He can "see" the structural lines, the line of demarcation between light and shadow, and the position of highlights of any object on the paper.

They can "perceive" the hue, brightness, and saturation of colors, and can "imagine" every step of a painting from its initial sketch to its completion.

He was overjoyed.

His god-like drawing skills were even more comprehensive than he had imagined.

The car drove for more than twenty minutes before entering the county town.

Chen Hao navigated to the largest stationery store in the county town—Wenxuan Stationery, located on a commercial street in the center of the county town. It was a three-story building with a wide variety of products.

He parked the car in the parking lot at the entrance, took his daughter out of the back seat, and led her into the stationery store.

The stationery store is very large. The first floor has office supplies and student stationery, the second floor has art supplies and craft materials, and the third floor has books and picture albums.

Chen Hao took his daughter directly upstairs to the second floor.

The second floor was brighter than the first floor, and the shelves were filled with all kinds of painting tools.

Paintbrushes, paints, drawing paper, drawing board, easel, palette, watercolor box, oil pastels, colored pencils, markers...

Shen Xiaoting's eyes lit up when she saw so many colorful things. She let go of her father's hand, ran to the shelf, and stood on tiptoe to look at the paintbrushes and paints.

"Daddy, so many colors!"

Chen Hao walked over, squatted down, and watched with his daughter.

He picked up a box of watercolor pens, opened it, and looked at it. The bristles were soft and had moderate elasticity, making them suitable for children.

He picked up a box of oil pastels, ran his finger across the paper, and the colors were rich and had strong covering power.

[Ding! God-level painting skill triggered - Watercolor pen identification: Nylon nib, moderate elasticity, suitable for children.]

Oil pastel identification: oil-based formula, high color saturation, strong covering power, non-toxic and harmless.

Rating: Good+

"Tingting, let's buy watercolor pens and oil pastels first. These are for kids and are easy to use."

"Once you've learned how to do it, Dad will buy you an even more professional one."

"Okay!" Shen Xiaoting nodded vigorously.

Chen Hao pushed a shopping cart and began shopping.

He first took out a set of watercolor pens—a 36-color set with pens of just the right thickness for a child's hand.

I also got some oil pastels—a set of 24 colors, which also came with a scraper and a scraping paper.

I also took a box of colored pencils—12 colors, water-soluble colored pencils, which can be blended with water to create a watercolor-like effect.

[Ding! Completed purchasing children's art supplies. God-level drawing experience points +112!]

Then he began purchasing more specialized tools.

He walked to the paintbrush section, where shelves were stocked with paintbrushes of various sizes—

Round head, flat head, pointed head, fan-shaped head, and hair material includes nylon, wolf hair, sheep hair, and mink hair.

He picked up a small wolf-hair calligraphy brush, pinched the tip with his fingers, and found that the bristles were firm and elastic, making it suitable for outlining.

I picked up another large white sheep hair brush, its tip full and absorbent, perfect for rendering.

Then I picked up a nylon flat-headed brush with neat bristles, perfect for laying out large blocks of color.
