"So... you don't want to inherit the Zhou family?"
"No plans at all."
By his side, someone was speaking in a language she didn't understand, and it looked like work.
Shi Yi said nothing, and ended the conversation.
The wind outside the window was a bit strong, swirling on the water, blowing up the clothes of the passengers in the fishing boat. What followed was naturally the noise of laughter and noise.
She thought, she understood what he meant.
If Zhou Shengchen’s belief in both lives is to reverse the trend and have fewer unfortunate families, then her two lives are much simpler. She believes in him and will always stand by his side.
The next night, it was the final of the competition.
Xiaoren said he wanted to see it, and Shi Yi told him seriously that he couldn't specialize. For example, she can only enter the venue alone and sit in a corner of the media booth. She thought that the proud little boy would not comply. She did not expect that he would really come, alone, with a book. Shi Yi sits on the judging bench and can't take care of him most of the time. When the game is over, he has time to see him.
Unexpectedly, when he rolled his eyes, the book in his hand turned out to be a foreign language textbook.
She didn't look at the content carefully, and glanced at the familiar formula, which was physics.
"You want to learn physics in the future?" Shi Yi finally saw the shadow of ordinary people on him.
"Yeah." Xiaoren nodded, closed the book, and laid it flat on his lap.
"Very good," she whispered, "the deeper you learn, the less obvious the boundaries between disciplines. Maybe you can surpass your brother in the future."
"Impossible, I can't surpass him," Xiaoren smiled, and was rarely shy. "He is a genius. He was invited for advanced studies at 12, entered university at 14 and got a PhD in chemical engineering at 19. I have already I’m 14 years old, but I haven’t entered college yet"
She had heard this, from Zhou Wenchuan's mouth.
But obviously when Xiaoren said it, he was really proud and had a distinct admiration.
"That's it," Shi Yi deliberately pretended to just know, cooperated, and was surprised. "It's amazing."
"It's very powerful," Xiaoren looked at her, "or else, my second sister-in-law would not still like him now."
"Second sister-in-law?"
"Tong Jiaren."
"Oh..." She laughed, "I've heard that they had a marriage contract before."
"Yes," Xiaoren had no idea to hide, "Tong Jiaren is also my biological mother's sister. In short, the relationship is very complicated. At that time, because my biological mother married my father... Uncle... She took the initiative to cancel the marriage contract."
Is she taking the initiative
Shiyi screamed.
"But it's just what I heard. I was not born yet."
Perhaps because the topic involves Zhou Shengchen, Xiaoren rarely talks a lot.
Shi Yi spoke with him for a while, but looked through his book carefully, but couldn't understand it. This child also looks like Zhou Shengchen in part. She thought that if Xiaoren had the opportunity to study with Zhou Shengchen, maybe these "arrogant and spoiled angers" cultivated by the family could be completely smoothed out.
After the two talked for a while, Shiyi found an excuse for Meilin and accompany Xiaoren to dinner alone.
This is the last night of the final. By tomorrow afternoon, everyone will leave here and return to their respective cities. Therefore, it is inevitable to accompany everyone to drink tea and chat.
Xiaoren insisted on staying with her and didn't talk too much, but occasionally dealt with a few words when Hong Xiaoyu was curious to strike up a conversation.
In the end, the voice actors of the older generation all went to rest, and only young people were left. Everyone discussed what to play, and somehow it came to Pai Gow.
"I didn't prepare these," Meilin smiled and beat their enthusiasm. "Now go out and buy, I'm afraid it's too late, right?"
"Don't be so serious, we can find something and make tools now."
Everyone was in high spirits, and Shiyi didn't understand these things, so they just listened in purely.
On the contrary, Xiaoren suddenly called a little girl not far away in a low voice and said two words in a low voice. The girl who followed him quickly left and appeared again, already holding a long box.
"What is it?" Shiyi asked him curiously.
"Pai Gow can also be called dominoes."
Shi Yi looked at him in surprise.
Two people were sitting beside Hong Xiaoyu and Du Feng. Xiaoyu was very interested when he heard: "Someone really brought it. It's just right. Let's open it and let's play together."
The little girl only looked at Xiao Ren, and after Xiao Ren nodded, she put the long and narrow box on the table.
The bright and yellowish ivory dominoes were stacked on top of each other, and they were quickly placed in eight rows.
The little girl did not leave, but stood at the table as if she were a dealer. Everyone was a little quiet. At first, the younger brother who thought it was time was just a spoiled rich second-generation, and the little girl who followed him must be someone who takes care of his daily life.
You can look at the dominoes on this table, and then at the girl's hand gesture just now... I don't know, I thought I was in the casino of the old society, and they were VIPs, and the sheets were all opened.
"The elders in the family like these, so in order to coax the elders, everyone has learned some," Xiaoren explained kindly, "this sister often plays with her father, so she is very familiar."
This explanation is somewhat mysterious, but it is not difficult to understand.
With the dominoes, those who were keen to play this just now quickly diverted their attention and went to the table to bet. Because it's all for fun, Meilin prohibits everyone from participating in money transactions. The little girl sitting in the bank symbolically divides each person with some bargaining chips as capital.
When the room was lively over there, Shi Yi was strange, and asked Xiaoren softly: "Your father... Uncle likes this very much?"
"My family likes it very much," Xiaoren looked at Shiyi. "My brother didn't say it?"
She shook her head.
"Your family is really interesting," Hong Xiaoyu felt that the little boy's speech and behavior were very interesting. "Will you?"
Zhou Shengren nodded: "Yes."
Hong Xiaoyu chuckled and tugged Du Feng's arm: "Would you like to try? Later?"
"Since you don't bring money, you can play," Du Feng also looked at Xiaoren very interestingly, "I didn't expect a little boy to be able to play Pai Gow, how is it going to play?"
Zhou Shengren looked at him: "I'm not very good at it, but it's more than enough to play with you."
"Heh," Du Fengle said, "It's a big tone. When I go to Macau, I don't often lose."
Xiaoren thought for a while: "Do you know the term'Qingcheng Pai Gow'?" He seemed to think of someone or something, and his voice was a bit with a smile. Lose a city. So don't touch this thing casually, especially when you are in a hurry."
