Tong Xiaoya tricked Ye Chen into thinking the lead actor was hospitalized, hoping he would take the role. Ye Chen refused, knowing her deception and that the filming could continue. He then received a Worldwide Delivery order and transported himself to another world, where he met a child named Wang Xianzhi, who seemed unhappy about practicing calligraphy.

Young Wang Xianzhi was absolutely right; his father, Wang Xizhi, achieved such a high level at Calligraphy Mountain purely thanks to his dedicated practice during childhood.

There are many stories about Wang Xizhi’s diligent practice, such as "Pen Mountain" and "Ink Pool."

Ye Chen also knew that under Wang Xizhi’s strict guidance, Wang Xianzhi achieved something at Calligraphy Mountain when he grew up.

One such achievement was seeing Wang Xianzhi write with all the water in eighteen large jars used up.

"Hmm, you’re right, but don’t you want to play outside with the other kids?" Ye Chen asked.

He was quite curious about what kind of mood Young Wang Xianzhi was in at the moment.

"Of course I want to play, but I think I can practice calligraphy first and play later."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s mouth twitched; by the time he used up the eighteen jars of water, Wang Xianzhi would have already left childhood behind.

However, he admired the child in front of him in his heart.

"Believe me, you will definitely succeed," Ye Chen said, patting Young Wang Xianzhi’s head.

"Big Brother, do you really think so?" Young Wang Xianzhi looked up at Ye Chen and asked with a tender voice.

"Yes, when you grow up, you will have deep accomplishments in calligraphy just like your father."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Young Wang Xianzhi became very motivated.

Originally, he felt hopeless and even had a sense of wanting to give up.

Ye Chen’s words rebuilt his confidence.

"Thank you, Big Brother. I will definitely work hard," Young Wang Xianzhi said while continuing to write on the ground with the ink brush dipped in the jar.

Ye Chen smiled as he looked at the earnest and diligent Young Wang Xianzhi, knowing that geniuses are never born but are made up of one percent talent and ninety-nine percent hard work.

The delivery was done, and Ye Chen completed the task; now it was time to return.

He did not say goodbye to Young Wang Xianzhi as he couldn’t bear to interrupt this hardworking child.

When Young Wang Xianzhi looked up again, he found that Ye Chen had already disappeared.

"Eh, where did that Big Brother go?" Young Wang Xianzhi scratched his head and muttered to himself.

At this moment, his father, Wang Xizhi, came out, and upon hearing his son’s words, he asked.

"Xianzhi, what are you looking around for?"

"Father, I’m looking for that Big Brother who delivered candied hawthorn to me."

"Are you tired from practicing calligraphy? Why are you saying nonsense? Where is there any Big Brother here?"

Wang Xizhi thought his son was tired from practicing calligraphy, hence his words.

"Why don’t you take a break?"

"No, Father, I’m really telling the truth. Look at this candied hawthorn stick."

Young Wang Xianzhi handed the half-eaten candied hawthorn stick to his father.

Wang Xizhi looked at it with some surprise, but when he looked around, he found no sign of a person.

"What did he say to you?"

"That Big Brother told me as long as I practice diligently, I can grow up to be successful like Father, with high accomplishments at Calligraphy Mountain."

Although Wang Xizhi did not see Ye Chen himself, he completely believed his words.

He thought Little Xianzhi was very talented in calligraphy, but what he needed was effort.

If he practiced calligraphy diligently, he would surely achieve something in it in time.

"Xianzhi, why don’t you go back to the house and rest for a while?"

"No need, Father, I want to continue practicing. I hope by the time I see that Big Brother again, I’ve made significant progress. Do you think I will?"

"Certainly, Father also believes in you."

With the encouragement from his father and Ye Chen, Young Wang Xianzhi felt even more motivated to practice calligraphy.

Ye Chen returned to the real world, feeling he had done another good deed.

You know, confidence is an essential element in the path to success.

Ye Chen’s encouragement not only gave Young Wang Xianzhi motivation but also made him firmly believe he could reach the pinnacle of success.

Doing good deeds brings joy.

Ye Chen hummed a little tune as he walked in the direction of home.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Worldwide Delivery order, earning the system reward ’Second Wang’ Calligraphy Mastery."

Ye Chen was somewhat excited about what he heard.

The "Second Wang" system refers to the Young Wang Xianzhi he just saw and his father Wang Xizhi.

You know, this father and son duo has a very high mastery in the field of calligraphy, and their art is regarded as the pinnacle of calligraphy.

Although Ye Chen was not interested in calligraphy, wasn’t there a saying that goes: having skills won’t harm?

Ye Chen returned home and frustratingly discovered that Su Wanyi hadn’t returned home yet.

She must be having fun with her girlfriends.

He was left to guard an empty house all alone, so lonely.

Originally, Ye Chen intended to call Su Wanyi.

Just as he was about to dial, his phone rang.

Upon seeing it was Xie Yingying calling.

"Brother Ye Chen, do you have time tomorrow night?"

"What’s the matter?"

Ye Chen wondered why this girl was asking like this.

"It’s like this: tomorrow evening, our school is having a gala, and I’d like you to attend."

"Gala?"

"Yeah, it’s an event organized by the school."

"Well, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to attend? After all, I graduated from school a long time ago, and I probably won’t be allowed in."

Originally, Xie Yingying thought that Ye Chen would refuse, and her heart was somewhat tense.

But upon hearing Ye Chen’s concerns, she immediately relaxed.

"Brother Ye Chen, as long as you can come, everything else is on me."

Xie Yingying said with a smile.

She wanted Ye Chen to attend because there would be a performance by her at the gala, and she wanted him to witness her shining moment.

"Yingying, I..."

Ye Chen thought he hadn’t agreed yet, and after hearing the girl’s words, he felt somewhat speechless.

Before Ye Chen could say another word, Xie Yingying spoke: "Brother Ye Chen, let’s meet tomorrow night then; I must go and rehearse now, so I won’t talk further."

Ye Chen didn’t expect this girl to hang up the phone so quickly without him finishing his words.

Moreover, even though Xie Yingying invited him to the gala, she didn’t inform him of the time.

This girl is indeed too careless, Ye Chen pondered.

At that moment, Su Wanyi suddenly walked in, looking somewhat surprised upon seeing Ye Chen.

"Honey, when did you come home, why didn’t you call me?" Su Wanyi instantly hugged Ye Chen.

"While you were out shopping with your girlfriends," Ye Chen said, rolling his eyes at Su Wanyi.

"Ah, so that’s how it is, sorry honey." Su Wanyi said with a face full of guilt.

"Tell me, how should I punish you for making me wait so long?" Ye Chen said mischievously to Su Wanyi.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanyi’s fair face turned somewhat red.
