Chapter 20
Seven years ago.
Imperial Era Year 20, Alpha Quadrant, Mother Planet.
Si Yin, carrying a shoulder bag, jumped off the flying car with swift movements.
The young man looked up at the incredibly gorgeous campus, his heart filled with admiration.
Having just turned twenty-one, he is currently a junior at the Second Military Academy on another companion planet. He can be considered a college student in the true sense of the word, but a military academy is different from an ordinary university after all and is more like joining the army.
He always has a unique filter for the academic elites who can be admitted to universities on his home planet, especially the Imperial University of Science and Technology, which is a cradle for cultivating future pillars of the country. The students who can be admitted there are the best of the best.
Of course there are occasional exceptions.
My friend had been waiting for us at the agreed location, which was an auditorium built in the shape of a boat.
It is said that this symbolizes the most commonly used means of transportation when humans expanded their territory in the ancient mother planet era, and it also symbolizes humans' desire to conquer the stars and the sea before entering the imperial era.
Si Yin's friend was not someone who got in through legitimate reasons.
He is a second-generation official who came in through the backdoor. He is uneducated and spends his days eating, drinking and having fun.
Fortunately, he is not a bad person and is quite kind-hearted. He bravely helped a little girl who was robbed while eating outside. Unfortunately, he was too fat to run. In the end, Si Yin at the next table took decisive action and subdued the gangster.
The friend was full of admiration for this agile and tall young man, and that was how the two met.
Today, a friend invited him to visit HKUST.
His friend had already seen him and waved to him. Si Yin also waved and was about to run over when he accidentally bumped into someone.
Si Yin was fine, as he was a tall and strong military academy student, so he didn't think anything of it.
But the other party was different. He stumbled and fell to the ground, and the coffee in his hand spilled all over the floor, and PADD happened to be immersed in it.
Si Yin didn't expect that he would get into trouble. He squatted down in a panic and asked, "Classmate, are you okay?"
The person he called a classmate raised his face.
At that moment, Si Yin, who had never felt any love in his life, felt as if he was shot by Cupid and saw his fate approaching.
He had been in the military academy for several years, and all he met were rough types - regardless of gender or race - and rarely saw such delicate and refined people.
The man's skin was fair and tender, and just from the fall, a scrape broke off. The bright red blood at the base of his palm was very eye-catching.
Si Yin had the illusion that he had broken a fine porcelain heirloom. He didn't know where to put his hands and half-knelt on the ground trying to help him up.
But the other party did not appreciate his kindness. The first thing he did was to look at his PADD which was emitting the aroma of coffee.
Si Yin quickly took out a tissue from his backpack and handed it over.
The other party took it silently, wiped the coffee liquid on it with a bit of disgust, pressed the screen several times, but there was no response.
The Second Military Academy prepared the most durable and shatterproof materials for these energetic young students. They would not break down no matter how hard they were thrown. Si Yin had never thought that there was such a fragile PADD.
He had only one thought in his mind at that time: It's over, I will probably have to pay back all the credit points for this semester's subsidy.
The friend and the campus cleaning robot rushed over together, and after seeing the victim's appearance clearly, they almost fainted.
Si Yin was still there, recklessly asking his "classmates" if they wanted him to be taken to the infirmary. His friend was so frightened that his voice was shaking. He quickly tugged at his sleeve and said nervously, "What classmate? This is our teacher—I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Professor Zhu, this is my friend. I'm so sorry, I'll call the infirmary right now..."
"No need." The man called Professor stood up. "I can take care of this minor injury myself when I get home."
His voice was cold and noble, like a clear mountain spring, which completely captivated Si Yin'er, who was still stunned by the shock of "How can such a young man be a professor?!"
Twenty-four-year-old Zhu Xiyuan turned around and was about to leave, but Si Yin grabbed his arm.
"Well, Professor, I will be responsible for you - I mean, your PADD!"

Now.
Fufu opened her eyes wide.
Not to mention campus romance, the plot of this first encounter, which was so accidental (literally), was even more melodramatic than those TV dramas starring humans that he had watched in his previous life.
No, it shouldn’t be said that it’s melodramatic when it comes to them. I can only say that - aren’t those dads too romantic?
Recalling the reckless young man back then, Zhu Xiyuan couldn't help but smile. "I told him I didn't need compensation, but he actually gave me all the credit points he had worked so hard to save, and then we became familiar with each other."
Compared to the bumpy and depressing experience between the Knight Commander and the Son of God in the previous life, the love story between the young recruit and the genius professor in this life is obviously more relaxed and sweet.
Zhu Fu could even imagine how his mother, facing his father's persistent pursuit, went from being annoyed at first to finally falling in love with him.
Fu Fu understood very well why his fathers loved each other so much in both lives.
Zhu Xiyuan, who appears cold on the outside but is actually warm-hearted, and Si Yin, who appears amorous but is actually deeply affectionate and loyal, are a match made in heaven.
"Okay, the bedtime story is over. It's time for you to go to bed. You have to go to kindergarten tomorrow."
Zhu Xiyuan touched his hair and said softly.
The kitten lay down again obediently and rubbed his forehead against his father's palm: "Daddy."
"Um?"
His eyes reflected the stars streaming on the ceiling: "I love you so much. I love you two so much."
Zhu Xiyuan smiled with his eyes curved, and kissed the boy's forehead: "...I love you too, and you all."

The next day, the whole family went to send Zhu Xiaofu to kindergarten.
Grandpa, grandma and Fu Fu were in one flying car, his father and aunt were in another, and his annoying uncle actually went there too. I wonder what he was thinking.
After arriving at the kindergarten, because Zhu Xiyuan and Si Yin were unable to attend the opening ceremony on time, the principal met with them again that day and personally conducted parent pre-school training again.
Sally had already heard it once, but was afraid that she didn't remember it carefully enough, so she went with them to listen to it again.
In order to improve children's independence and adaptability to school, parents are not allowed to accompany children after they enter kindergarten.
Just as Fu Fu was entering the kindergarten, she saw Cheng Cheng waiting there. The two little boys happily entered the classroom together.
Zhu Zhengde and Zhu Xiaoling followed other parents to visit the kindergarten's various facilities and teaching concepts, but Zhu Shaoquan was missing.
After all, Fu Fu is living a second life, so he is not that dependent on adults. While many children in the small class are still crying for their parents, he can already lead Cheng Cheng to play with building blocks. Because the blocks he builds are so ingenious, he even attracts the attention of several other children.
The kitten was cute, sensible, and smart, so no teacher disliked him. Soon, Fuzai became the teacher's most trusted assistant in the class.
By the time of the second activity class, the parents who had sent their children there in the morning had already left.
Led by their teacher, the children went to play in the yard. Chengcheng really wanted to play on the swing where they first met, but it was occupied by other children today.
The piglet was a little unhappy. The kitten was afraid that he would cry again, so he comforted him, "Let's go to the tree over there to see the ants."
The Leyden pine tree at the base of the kindergarten wall is his new secret base that he recently discovered.
This pine tree is a species unique to Bach II. It grows extremely tall, with lush branches and leaves. It takes several adults to hug the trunk. This tree alone shelters many small shrubs and flowers below.
Not to mention kindergarten children, even if an adult crawled under the branches, no one would notice him for a while.
Fu Fu brought Cheng Cheng to the tree, but suddenly heard someone talking.
"Young Master, why are you hanging around here when you're busy cultivating your network?"
Cheng Cheng's eyes widened.
He recognized the voice as the kindergarten's security chief. That day at the opening ceremony, the principal had even pulled him up to greet everyone. Because this guy was young and handsome, many children remembered him.
Chengcheng was about to speak when Zhu Fu covered her mouth.
"Shh-"
The kitten moved its ears, trying to better catch the unusual sound.
"Tsk, stop bullying me. I'm not a big shot. My eldest brother is back, and I'm here today just to take their little brat to school. It's in your kindergarten."
This time it was Zhu Fu's turn to be stunned.
He would recognize that voice even if it were burned to ashes.
...It’s Zhu Shaoquan.
"Ah? Your eldest brother has a child? When did he get married?"
"Isn't it the same bastard from the Si family who got kicked out because of him?"
