Chapter 136 Daddy and Mommy's Little Light Bulb
That night, Huo Shen refused Robert's request to go to bed and cruelly closed the bedroom door.
Robert fought back, ramming his head against the door while whimpering. Xie Junfei couldn't bear to let the poor AI baby huddle at the bedroom door like a puppy, so she reluctantly put the little robot into the house despite Huo Shen's dark expression.
Robert, who was granted entry into the room, sang triumphantly while sliding his body to knock off the plug of the bedside nightlight, plugged in his data cable, and then automatically started sleep mode.
The man, seeing her sleeping peacefully, had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to bend down to kiss his little girl when, before their lips even touched, the little rascal, who should have been dozing, slid up to them with her big, round eyes, looking on with curiosity:
"Daddy, Mommy, what are you doing?"
Huo Shen: "............"
Xie Junfei, held in his arms, blushed and pushed the man's face away. She pulled up the blanket and curled herself into a ball, refusing to communicate with anyone.
When his questions went unanswered, curious Robert started chattering nonsense, even trying to connect to the internet to find out what his parents were up to behind their backs.
Just as it was about to search, Huo Shen put one arm around Xie Junfei and used the other hand to precisely reach across half the bed and press the power button on Robert, forcibly shutting down the chatterbox.
But when the mischievous AI shut up, Xie Junfei refused to lift her head from under the covers no matter what.
Huo Shen was afraid she would press down on the newly pierced ear cartilage stud, so he firmly pressed her shoulders to make her raise her head:
"Okay, it's not talking anymore, don't be shy."
"Sleep with your head tilted back, be careful of your newly pierced ears."
She hadn't noticed it when she was shy, but when Huo Shen reminded her, the slight pain in her ear began to invade her brain. Xie Junfei carefully sat up straight, but her long hair still pulled on the wound, causing her to cry out softly in pain.
The man saw this, got out of bed, found a rubber band to help her gather her loose long hair, and told her to lie down and not move around.
Even though her ears hurt, Xie Junfei tried her best to fall asleep because she had to go to class the next day.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ma went upstairs to wake up the young couple in the bedroom. Xie Junfei was still half asleep and only felt someone pick her up and dress her. When they put on the sweater, they carefully avoided her ears so as not to cause her any discomfort.
When she opened her eyes again, the man in the shirt and trousers was kneeling on the floor, holding her ankle and helping her put on her socks little by little.
This suddenly reminded her of the time she attended the school anniversary dance at Tiancheng Private School.
She wore an exquisite and beautiful haute couture gown, and Huo Shen, just like today, knelt on the floor to put on her sparkling crystal shoes.
But my state of mind is completely different now.
At the time, she felt that men were unattainable and that it was her great fortune to fall in love with her. She was anxious and insecure about her feelings for men, and her attitude towards Huo Shen was one of admiration, affection, and awe.
She has now completely "shed her seductive ways" and even thinks it's only natural that Huo Shen likes her. "I'm so smart and beautiful, who wouldn't like me?"
Thinking of this, Xie Junfei's playful side emerged, and she swung her toes back and forth in front of Huo Shen:
"Little Huo is serving me very well. I'll reward you by having you serve me from now on. You won't have to take out the chamber pots anymore."
Huo Shen raised an eyebrow, not expecting this little girl to be so dramatic so early in the morning, but he still indulged her and answered her questions while stuffing her feet, which were covered in fluffy socks, into her slippers.
"Chatter, chatter, Your Majesty, hurry up and get up, you'll be late for school."
Xie Junfei laughed as she got up and rushed to the bathroom to wash up.
Huo Shen then picked up the bone conduction earphones that looked like earrings from the table and carefully disinfected them.
After Xie Junfei finished washing up, she obediently sat on the stool and let the man help her change her earrings.
The man's hands were incredibly steady, and with swift movements, he threaded the ring into the still-reddened hole. Before Xie Junfei could even react, it was all over.
They woke up late and didn't have time to eat, so the luxury car drove them to school while keeping to the speed limit.
When Xie Junfei entered the classroom, Chi Xu was still dozing off. Upon seeing Xie Junfei, he immediately sat up straight and stared at her with a reproachful look.
Xie Junfei ignored this clown and took out her book to start studying.
Robert was activated, and the sound came into his ears through the headphones:
"Is Sister Junfei going to study? Then I won't say anything."
"But these things look so complicated. Will Robert have to learn them too?"
Xie Junfei knew that Robert had seen her collection of challenging math problems spread out on the table through the security camera behind her, so she casually offered some words of comfort:
"Don't worry, my dear. You're so silly, you wouldn't even get into Beijing No. 1 High School. Don't worry about me."
"But we're rich, and we're not counting on you to go to college. So what if you're a little silly? You're cute when you're a bit goofy."
Robert, an AI with supercomputing power, was dazed by his mother's words: "Oh, that's good, that's good."
Shen An, who impulsively went online to eavesdrop:........
That poor Robert.
Forget it, I guess I'll just leave it at that. Fools have their luck, and AI is no exception.
Chi Xu, who couldn't hear Robert speaking, looked completely bewildered.
Holy crap! His good deskmate has gone crazy from studying; he's actually talking to thin air!
However, Xie Junfei calmed down and continued working on her test papers without having another episode, which relieved Chi Xu.
Today was another full day of self-study. Xie Junfei spent half the morning finishing all the tasks for the day before finally stopping writing and letting out a sigh of relief.
At this rate, even if she were to take the exam tomorrow, she could consistently perform in the top ten.
Seeing that she had stopped writing, Chi Xu leaned closer and whispered his criticism of her:
"How did you get to know my brother behind my back? Tell me the truth."
Xie Jun felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't very well say that he had treated Chi Jingchuan like a male prostitute and that they had become acquainted after that, since Chi Jingchuan was, after all, the eldest son of the Chi family.
So she avoided the main issue and focused on the less important one:
"Your brother works at my brother's company. Isn't it normal to say hello when you run into him at a bar? But you, why do you act like a mouse seeing a cat when you see your brother?"
Her question immediately made Chi Xu sigh:
"Who can blame me for being so outstanding? While other kids my age were racing cars and chasing girls, he not only got into an Ivy League school on his own, but he was also spotted by a top law firm before he even graduated. After returning to China, he became a vice president. My dad has been comparing me to my brother since I was little, and it's given me a psychological scar."
This surprised Xie Junfei.
"With your thick skin, you actually have psychological trauma?"
Before Chi Xu could even retort in grief and indignation, she immediately comforted him:
"Alright, alright, I know, I know you're in trouble."
"So, your desire to go to the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences isn't also related to your brother, is it?"
