This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

After returning home, Yu Chenzhou originally planned to take a nice hot shower to wash away the smell of alcohol on his body before starting the lottery draw.

But as soon as he opened the door, Xiao Yilin interrupted his thoughts, and he suddenly remembered something he had overlooked.

Women have always had an almost obsessive passion for taking photos, especially after they've dressed up carefully.

"I want to have a photoshoot, I can't wait! I'm going to change, you get ready."

Xiao Yilin's eyes sparkled, and her tone was full of excitement as she spoke, she couldn't wait to take off her high heels.

She casually tossed the shoe rack in the entryway, not even bothering to put on slippers. Barefoot in her delicate black stockings, she ran briskly toward the bedroom, her skirt swaying gently with her movements.

Yu Chenzhou watched her hurried figure and smiled helplessly.

When he arrived at the bedroom door, he saw Xiao Yilin tiptoeing and rummaging through the wardrobe. The wardrobe door was open, and it was filled with all kinds of clothes.

So Yu Chenzhou stood at the door and suggested:

"How about we take a shower first?"

I reek of alcohol, which is unpleasant to smell, and I imagine you're not much better off. With this kind of mood, the photos you take won't have a good atmosphere either.

Hearing Yu Chenzhou's words, she turned around, patted her forehead, and suddenly realized:

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Take a shower first, then the photos will be even better!"

With that, Xiao Yilin put the clothes she was carrying on the bed and ran straight to the bathroom.

However, after running halfway, she stopped as if remembering something, turned around and quickly walked to Yu Chenzhou's side, excitedly grabbed his hand, and pulled him towards the bathroom without saying a word.

At this moment, although a hint of shyness appeared on Xiao Yilin's cheeks, the strength in her hands was very strong and firm.

Yu Chenzhou felt the soft touch from Xiao Yilin's palm and naturally understood her thoughts, a smile spreading across his eyes.

Not only did he not refuse in the slightest, but he obediently followed her steps and even gently squeezed her hand in return.

As for the lottery he had originally planned, he had long since forgotten about it.

Anyway, the system's lottery can happen anytime, so it can't be skipped. But the chance to enjoy a bath together with your loved one is rare and precious, so you should seize the moment.

The warm water washed away her fatigue and the smell of alcohol. After taking a shower, Xiao Yilin walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a silk towel.

Her long, wet hair draped over her shoulders, her skin was fair and radiant, and her bright eyes and white teeth were still damp from her recent shower. She looked at Yu Chenzhou with seductive eyes.

She strode into the bedroom and eagerly changed into clothes of various styles.

From elegant gowns to sweet long dresses and sexy bikinis, she tried on one after another, and Yu Chenzhou took a set of charming photos of her.

It can be said that this photo album almost encompasses the most beautiful aspects of Xiao Yilin.

After shooting the entire photo album, Xiao Yilin breathed a sigh of relief, then nestled into Yu Chenzhou's chest, resting her head gently on his shoulder. When she looked up, her eyes still held a lingering joy.

She gently placed a soft kiss on Yu Chenzhou's face, then whispered tenderly in his ear:

"Darling, I now realize that you are a treasure. Not only are you a beautiful painter, but you are also such a good photographer. I am so lucky to have met you."

The bedroom was no longer tidy; Xiao Yilin's clothes were piled up everywhere—on the floor, chairs, and bedside tables.

The skirts of gowns, the lace of long dresses, stockings, lingerie, and high heels were scattered among the fabric, creating the effect of a mini fashion show.

Yu Chenzhou looked down at the delicate figure in his arms, gently brushed a strand of damp hair from her cheek, and spoke in a voice so tender it could melt water:

"I'm so lucky to have met you, this must be the best blessing from heaven."

After saying that, he gently stroked Xiao Yilin's forehead, lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on her smooth forehead, his actions full of tenderness.

Xiao Yilin narrowed her eyes slightly, enjoying his tenderness. Hearing this cheesy pickup line, her smile deepened, and she mimicked his tone, replying with a cheesy pickup line of her own:

"Yes, I'm lucky to have met someone even luckier like you."

It turns out that all separations have meaning, just so that I can meet you in the best of times.

To make up for the time we've lost, from now on, year after year, I will stay close to you and never be apart again.

Upon hearing this, Yu Chenzhou's heart was instantly filled. He reached out his finger, gently lifted Xiao Yilin's chin, and lowered his head to kiss her soft, red lips, a passionate and tender kiss.

Xiao Yilin felt weak all over from his kiss, her cheeks flushed, and she was filled with emotion. She took the initiative to reach out and wrap her arms around his neck, passionately responding to the kiss.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became tender and ambiguous.

After an unknown amount of time, their feelings for each other gradually faded, but they still held each other tightly, foreheads touching, breaths mingling, wishing they could completely merge into each other's bodies.

Just as Yu Chenzhou's hand unconsciously began to gently caress her back, gradually becoming somewhat improper, Xiao Yilin blushed, gently pressed his hand down, and stopped him with a slight gasp:

"Stop fooling around... It's already midnight, you should go to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow."

I skipped two days of work just to come see you. I'll probably have a ton of work to do at the office tomorrow, and it'll be a real problem if I'm not feeling well!

Upon hearing this, Yu Chenzhou chuckled softly, his tone tinged with a mixture of indulgence and resentment:

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Go to sleep."

He looked up at the clock on the wall; the hands had indeed pointed to midnight, it was very late.

So he calmed himself down, obediently withdrew his mischievous hand, and with a strong pull, wrapped his arm around Xiao Yilin's slender waist, holding her firmly in his arms.

After adjusting to a comfortable position, he closed his eyes and said in a slightly lazy voice.

"There's plenty of time in the future. I'll let you off this time, but I'll deal with you next time, you little vixen."

Leaning against Yu Chenzhou's warm and firm embrace, listening to his steady heartbeat, Xiao Yilin instantly felt incredibly at ease.

With a satisfied smile on his lips, he softly hummed in agreement and closed his eyes.

Not long after, Xiao Yilin began to breathe evenly and softly in Yu Chenzhou's arms, her long eyelashes drooping quietly, her sleeping face exceptionally serene.

Yu Chenzhou did not fall asleep immediately. He gently lowered his head to look at the sleeping beauty in his arms, and carefully adjusted his arm so as not to disturb her.

Then, he silently brought up the system interface in his mind, ready to start the lottery.

However, the moment the system's lottery interface unfolded in his mind, Yu Chenzhou's gaze swept over the list of prizes, and his breath caught in his throat. He subconsciously held his breath, afraid that the noise would wake Xiao Yilin.

The lottery interface still had twelve options, six of which were the familiar "Thank you for your patronage" messages, but the other six options were all genuinely good items, instantly catching his eye:

Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, Twelve-Road Tan Tui (a style of martial arts), Phoenix Crown and Embroidered Robe (Ming Dynasty, Xuande period), White Jade Twisted Silk Bracelet (Qing Dynasty, Kangxi period), Ji Kang's music, and Wide-Sleeved Embroidered Robe Skirt (Song Dynasty, Jingyou period).

Of these six prizes, three were skill-related, and each one made Yu Chenzhou extremely excited and envious.

The section on "Wang Xizhi's calligraphy" in particular stirred his emotions.

It should be noted that he had already acquired Gu Kaizhi's painting skills. If he were to acquire Wang Xizhi's calligraphy skills as well, he would essentially have mastered the core skills of two great masters from the Wei and Jin dynasties.

At that time, he can confidently say that what Gu Kaizhi and Wang Xizhi could do, I can do; and what Gu Kaizhi and Wang Xizhi could not do, I can also do.

After all, throughout history, who has had the opportunity to write a piece of "the finest running script in the world" on Gu Kaizhi's masterpiece painting?

Who else could pair Wang Xizhi's original "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion" with a masterpiece painting in the style of Gu Kaizhi?

This cross-industry integration is absolutely unique.

Looking at "Twelve-Road Tan Leg", this skill, like Tai Chi, belongs to the authentic internal martial arts.

However, they have different focuses: one is Southern Fist, and the other is Northern Leg; one specializes in fist techniques, combining softness and hardness, while the other specializes in leg techniques, which are sharp and swift.

Ji Kang's musical skills are even more remarkable. Ji Kang himself was a music master during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. His musical level was considered to be at its peak at that time, and his masterpiece "Guangling San" is a timeless classic.

He himself is also a pivotal and iconic figure in the history of ancient music.

Although this classical melody may be somewhat out of touch with the times in modern society, Yu Chenzhou is after this unique retro charm, which is his core advantage that distinguishes him from others.

In addition to these three skills, the other three item prizes are also extremely valuable.

Moreover, unlike the original copy of Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion," these three items can be openly displayed, unlike the original which had to be hidden away or destroyed.

The phoenix coronet and embroidered robe of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty and the wide-sleeved embroidered robe and skirt of the Jingyou period of the Song Dynasty were both top-class costumes for women in the ancient court and aristocracy.

The reason they are hard to find now is not because they have been completely lost, but mainly because some of the traditional techniques and rare raw materials used to make them are extremely rare and hard to find.

With current technology and craftsmanship, it is entirely possible to replicate a version with accurate shape, high degree of craftsmanship, and similar texture.

However, it is limited by material ethics (some ancient materials may involve the protection of animals or cultural relics), the difficulty of accurately restoring the details of traditional craftsmanship, as well as high costs and long production time.

Achieving a 100% replica using the same materials and methods is almost impossible; some reasonable alternatives and compromises may be necessary.

The final replica effect depends on the budget, the chosen process, and the relevant compliance requirements.

Simply put, as long as you're willing to spend the money, you can replicate a set of products that are so similar they're indistinguishable from the real thing.

As for that white jade twisted bracelet from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it is relatively more common.

White jade twisted wire bracelets are still very popular in modern times and can be found everywhere on the market. You can buy a regular one for a few hundred yuan.

Even an antique white jade bracelet from the Kangxi era, while possessing some collectible value, cannot be considered a rare treasure.

Even the best quality jadeite, with the best appearance, will only fetch around 150 million yuan on the market. In the antique market where prices often reach tens of millions, it is not considered an exorbitantly priced treasure.

Yu Chenzhou's gaze swept over the six prizes repeatedly, silently calculating in his mind. Then he prayed fervently in his heart, greeting every deity he could think of, hoping to draw the prize he desired.

After praying, he took a deep breath and gently selected the "Start Lottery" button in his mind.

The light spot on the lottery interface immediately began to spin rapidly, so fast that it left only a blur.

As the light spot slowed down, Yu Chenzhou's heart pounded faster and faster. His palms were sweating slightly with nervousness, and his eyes were fixed on the slowly moving light spot.

Fortunately, his good luck today did not disappoint him. In the end, the spot of light landed steadily on the "Twelve-Road Tan Leg" that he most wanted.

"That's wonderful! A divine intervention has worked! Keep it up!"

Yu Chenzhou cheered excitedly in his heart, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

Before the joy of winning the Twelve-Road Tan Leg prize had faded, he immediately decided to continue the lottery.

It's rare to see such high-quality prizes in this round; they're all genuinely good stuff. It would be a real shame not to use up all the remaining draw chances.

As the Twelve-Road Tan Tui was removed, a new prize immediately appeared in the original spot: a beautifully packaged box labeled "Seven-Piece Jewelry Set".

Although he doesn't know exactly what's inside this seven-piece jewelry set yet, the mere mention of "seven pieces" and the gorgeous packaging is enough to fill him with anticipation. He'll find out once he gets the item.

Yu Chenzhou suppressed his anticipation and started the lottery again.

However, his luck didn't continue this time, and the light finally stopped on "Thank you for your patronage," leaving him slightly disappointed.

"Alas, a great rise is always followed by a great fall; that's normal."

Yu Chenzhou quickly adjusted his mindset, reassuring himself with a determined look, and started the lottery again:

"One more time!"

This lottery did not disappoint him. The light moved slowly and finally stopped precisely on "Wang Xizhi's calligraphy"!

Upon seeing this result, Yu Chenzhou almost burst out laughing, but forcibly suppressed his emotions.

This means that from then on, Yu Chenzhou was essentially a combination of Gu Kaizhi and Wang Xizhi!

It's not unusual to imitate Gu Kaizhi's paintings or Wang Xizhi's calligraphy on one hand; in the entire art world, there are always a few people who can imitate them perfectly.

But to master the skills of two masters to such a high degree and to perfectly blend them together is a completely different matter, and would definitely cause a storm in the art world.

"With the two core rewards of Twelve-Road Tan Leg and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, I am completely satisfied."

Yu Chenzhou was overjoyed, but then he thought that since the lottery had already started, there was no need to save the remaining two chances. He might as well strike while the iron was hot and see what surprises he could win.

With that in mind, he decisively started the fourth lottery draw.

Whether it was some divine favor or a stroke of good luck brought on by a happy occasion, he won the lottery again this time!

The prize drawn was the new one that had previously replaced Wang Xizhi's calligraphy—golden fried rice.

Upon seeing the prize, Yu Chenzhou was taken aback at first, then laughed. With this skill, he could finally make not only Mapo Tofu, but also a decent main dish, giving him another option for cooking for Xiao Yilin in the future.

On the fifth and final draw, Yu Chenzhou thought he had used up most of his luck for the day and didn't have high hopes. He just clicked the draw with a "let's give it a try" attitude.

However, to his utter surprise, his good luck continued, and he won the prize again, this time the unknown "seven-piece jewelry set".

Because Yu Chenzhou was still holding Xiao Yilin, with one arm tightly under her head and unable to free himself, he couldn't open the ornate jewelry box to see what treasures were inside.

He smiled helplessly, forced himself to suppress his curiosity, and manipulated the system in his mind to store the jewelry box into his spatial ring.

After doing all this, Yu Chenzhou felt the warm and soft body in his arms and listened to the even breathing beside him. His heart was filled with satisfaction and peace, and he had no other thoughts. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
