Chapter 38 I'm going to learn boxing and become your sister-in-law
Mingnuo awkwardly hugged Sedwick for a while, but as soon as they separated, he immediately took two steps back, not looking him in the eye. He lowered his head and looked at his toes, trying to hide his mistake. "Well... your baby is crying."
Sedwick watched his trembling eyelashes and said, "Well, I'll go and comfort him then."
"Could you two stop being so cheesy?" Field had huge dark circles under his eyelids. He held the doll blankly, his dead eyes looking at the two of them. "The atmosphere is really going to be strained."
Ming Nuo's ears turned red with shame. He pretended not to hear these words. After the baby stopped crying, he climbed onto the bed with the baby in his arms and covered his face with the quilt.
Cotton kicked his feet and followed him onto the bed. He sniffed the doll's hand in confusion, not quite understanding what it was.
Field looked at Mingnuo's series of reactions and felt more and more that there was something strange about these two people.
Although they had been together all day long before, this kind of intimacy was open and honest, and Field didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But now... I feel like I'm stealing something for some unknown reason.
Field frowned, realizing that things weren't simple. He nudged Lin Yu's arm with his elbow, glanced furtively at Sedwick, and whispered to Lin Yu, "Tell me, are these two really dating behind our backs?"
The sour smell of love and the awkward and cheesy feeling between young lovers can be reflected in these two people. Sometimes Field feels that he and Lin Yu are like redundant existences in this dormitory.
Oh, now there is an extra cotton.
Lin Yu was actually very curious about their current relationship, but he was sure of one thing - they were definitely not dating. According to Ming Nuo's personality, he would definitely tell him the news on the first day of their relationship.
There was no way Sedwick would emerge from here unscathed.
Lin Yu pushed Field away and focused on coaxing the baby: "Why do you care so much? It has nothing to do with you whether they talk or not."
Field, however, insisted on finding out what was going on to satisfy his curiosity, and walked towards Sedwick with an excited look on his face.
Field put a hand on Sedwick's shoulder and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner. "Tell me quickly, how far have you two come?"
Sedwick glanced at him, his grey eyes cold.
What should he say?
A process that hasn't started yet?
Ming Nuo heard their conversation and curiously poked his head out to wait for the answer. He couldn't help but feel curious about what progress they had made and how he himself didn't know.
"You're talking too much." Sedwick said in a cold tone, pushing Field back with one sentence, and snapped his fingers in the ear of his doll who had just fallen asleep.
The sound sensing system was activated, and the baby's heart-wrenching cry once again echoed throughout the dormitory.
Field fumbled and tried to coax the baby, feeling heartbroken. "You, you are such a vicious person! If you want to bully someone, bully me. You are so vicious to bully my son."
Sedwick: “…Heh.”
Mingnuo quickly covered his baby's ears to avoid waking it up.
Cotton hated the crying sound and turned around irritably, making a threatening growl in his throat and the hair on his body stood up again.
"Shh." Ming Nuo held down the restless cotton and patted his back. "Go to sleep obediently."
——
The parenting course lasted for three days. The external feature of holding a baby in the arms has become an important symbol for senior students to identify freshmen. They have also been through this stage, but it does not prevent them from tearing up the umbrellas of junior students after being caught in the rain.
"It's really hard for the junior to take care of the baby. Unlike me, I have a life without being woken up by the baby at such a young age."
"Hey, junior, let's go play basketball. Why bother feeding the baby? Feeding the baby is not as important as playing basketball."
"What should I do if the baby keeps crying? Just let it cry. Can its tears drown you?"
"What should I do if the baby's body temperature keeps dropping? Take off his clothes and throw him into the lake to acclimate to the low temperature. Remember, only the strong are worthy of being your children."
Freshmen: “…”
Is this something a normal person can say?
When the three days were up, the dolls were sent away to Anka Garden, and the nurturing scores were calculated on the spot and sent to the smart brains of each student present.
Mingnuo's parenting score was 87 points. He was very satisfied and turned to ask Sedwick, "How many points did you get?"
Sedwick showed him his score, "Full marks."
Mingnuo was shocked by the bright red 100 points and looked at Sedwick in shock. This man's parenting skills were so strong that it was terrifying. He looked at Sedwick with a look that impliedly asking for praise.
He couldn't help but exaggerate: "You are so awesome."
But at the same time, Mingnuo couldn't help but think of the comments he had seen on Star Network before, that men who got full marks for parenting were either paranoid or homosexual... His gaze slowly moved to Sedwick, looking him over.
Paranoia? Ming Nuo thought about it and felt that it was not so bad.
Although Sedwick's character is a bit picky, competitive, and mean, he is generally quite good and is still a long way from being paranoid.
As for whether he was gay... Sedwick had never been in a relationship, which Mingnuo knew very well, so there was no way to determine his sexual orientation in this regard.
Seeing Mingnuo suddenly lost in thought, Sedwick waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Mingnuo."
"Hmm?" Ming Nuo suddenly came back to his senses and met Sedwick's eyes. Still thinking about his guess, he asked directly, "Are you gay?"
Start directly from zero frame?
Sedwick didn't expect Mingnuo to ask so directly. He was stunned for several seconds and said, "Yeah."
Ming Nuo was shocked. It turned out that this statement actually had a basis.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was silent again, Sedwick felt inexplicably nervous for a moment. He maintained his facial expression and asked, "Why are you asking this for no reason?"
Ming Nuo: “Just asking.”
"What about you?"
"ah?"
Sedwick looked into his azure eyes and asked, "Do you like boys or girls?"
Ming Nuo was stunned by the question and shook his head in confusion, "I, I don't know."
He has never been in a relationship and doesn't seem to like anyone, so he is not sure whether his sexual orientation is male or female.
Sedwick didn't continue to ask questions about this issue, but Mingnuo kept it in mind. He was not sure himself, so he simply searched for the answer on Starnet.
There was even a sexual orientation test.
Mingnuo looked at the final result, which showed homosexuality. He nodded, poked Sedwick's arm, and told him confidently, "I am gay."
Has this guy finally gotten the hang of it? Sedwick's lips curled up slightly, and he asked, "How did you know?"
"Look, it's written here." Mingnuo showed the test results to Sedwick. "Authoritatively certified."
Sedwick: "..."
It seems that he overestimated Ming Nuo.
Throughout the day, Mingnuo noticed that Sedwick was in low spirits, as if he had suffered a blow. He asked him why he was unhappy, but Sedwick said nothing.
It’s really unpredictable, Ming Nuo thought to himself.
Because the psychological pressure brought by parenting classes is too great, the school, for the sake of students' mental health, specially added a psychological counseling class for them to teach them how to control their emotions.
The main teacher of this class is Wen Zhining. After studying psychology, Wen Zhining has become visibly gentler. This time he specially brought equipment to detect stress.
The students who had been complaining about their free time being squeezed, started talking excitedly when they saw that he was the teacher giving the lecture.
"It's Director Wen! I've only seen him on the news before."
"But why did he cut his hair short? I think he looks better with long hair."
"I also like the long-haired version of Director Wen, but can he really teach us psychological counseling? The video of him slapping the councilor can still be found on Starnet."
Ming Nuo listened to the whispers of his classmates and was surprised that Brother Ning would hit someone, and the person he hit was a congressman. He searched on Starnet out of curiosity, and sure enough, a video appeared.
In the video, a congressman was talking about a scientific and technological innovation issue, and he also instructed Wen Zhining on what to do and how to correct it, which made Wen Zhining so angry that he started arguing with him on the spot.
In the end, the congressman frowned and scolded Wen Zhining for disrespecting his elders. Wen Zhining scolded him for his intellectual deficiency, and the quarrel turned into a fight. In the chaos, Wen Zhining slapped him in the face.
Ming Nuo: "Wow."
But he had seen big scenes before, so he was not surprised by this and just thought it was the tradition of the empire.
Wen Zhining spoke in a steady and gentle voice at the podium. "A stable mood can reduce negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, lower the secretion of stress hormones, make the body's internal environment more stable, and thus prevent some psychosomatic diseases."
"I used to be very impulsive, often acting on impulse." Wen Zhining's dark eyes remained calm as he told the students, "Proper emotional control is more conducive to interpersonal communication and avoids unnecessary conflicts..."
Wen Zhining first told the students the importance of emotions, and then invited the students to demonstrate it objectively.
Ming Nuo, as Wen Zhining's right-hand man, was naturally the first to raise his hand to support the teacher. Wen Zhining smiled and called him to the podium, "Put your hand on this dial."
Mingnuo did as he was told.
Then Wen Zhining began to ask Mingnuo some questions.
Wen Zhining: "One day, your brother found the candy you hid in the corner beside the bed."
Ming Nuo: “…”
Sweating all over.
The pressure value doubled instantly. In addition, the secretion of other hormones in his body could also be seen on the screen.
Wen Zhining asked Ming Nuo a few more questions, then looked at the students and said, "Can another student try?"
Field raised his hand confidently, and Wen Zhining called him up.
Ming Nuo was still curious about his physical data and did not move his hand away from the test dial.
Field walked up to him, and before Wen Zhining could ask a question, he suddenly leaned close to Ming Nuo's ear and yelled, "Ha!!"
Ming Nuo was completely unprepared and was so frightened that he closed his eyes and screamed, "Ahhh——!"
He threw himself directly into Wen Zhining's arms. Wen Zhining was also very timid and was also frightened. He lost his balance and fell with Ming Nuo.
Field: “…”
Oh no, I’m done for.
All the students in the classroom gasped. Sedwick and Lin Yu were stunned for a few seconds and hurried over to help them up. Ming Nuo hugged Sedwick's arm in shock, his body still shaking.
Sedwick held him in his arms, patted his back, and soothed him gently, "It's okay, it's okay."
Mingnuo was surrounded by a familiar atmosphere, and his fear slowly faded away.
Wen Zhining was also helped up by Lin Yu. Field knew he had done something wrong, so he lowered his head and walked up to them to apologize sincerely, "I'm sorry, teacher."
Wen Zhining stared at him dimly, then suddenly picked up the pressure detector and threw it at Field. Field was so scared that he ran away, and Wen Zhining chased after him in anger.
The classroom suddenly became a mess.
The teacher on patrol heard the unusual noise in the classroom and rushed over. Upon seeing the scene, he was furious and glared, "Stop! Do you still act like students?! Who are you, the teacher, for making so much noise in the classroom?! What's going on in this class?"
The student closest to the teacher stammered, "Yes, it's an emotion management class."
The students were all huddled together, and the school leader didn't see Wen Zhining. He asked, "Where's your teacher?"
"Teacher...the teacher lost control of his temper and started a fight with a classmate."
“…”
The school leader was speechless, especially after seeing that the emotional management teacher was Wen Zhining, his expression became more complicated, "Professor Wen, you...you..."
Wen Zhining didn't catch up with Field. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "It was an accident."
The school leader smiled awkwardly.
But after the get out of class, Sharp appeared and announced to the students the newly added school rules - prohibiting students and teachers from fighting in class.
After seeing this new school rule, Mingnuo silently looked at Field who was sighing. They could be considered as witnesses of history.
Before going to the laboratory to do research in the afternoon, Field bought a bunch of food and drinks and asked Mingnuo to help bring them to Wen Zhining to express his apology, and Mingnuo was willing to help him.
Carrying the apology gift, Ming Nuo walked into the laboratory and looked around. He didn't see Wen Zhining, so he asked Elson, who was using a pipette, "Where is the teacher?"
Elson said helplessly: "Going to boxing class."
Ming Nuo doubted his ears: "Huh?"
Elson: "He said that psychological knowledge cannot save mankind. Only a strong fist can solve all troubles."
Mingnuo silently lit a candle for Field in his heart.
In the following weeks, Field was very careful when going out. Fortunately, the teaching building where they usually had classes and Wen Zhining's laboratory were located in the north and south of the campus respectively.
There was basically no possibility of a meeting, and Field barely escaped.
But Field didn't run into Wen Zhining, Mingnuo met Gracie instead. The moment he saw his cousin, Mingnuo turned and ran away, and Gracie didn't even have a chance to speak to stop him.
One afternoon, Sedwick and the other two went to attend the combat military command class. Mingnuo had no class, so he stayed in the dormitory and lay on the table to write the project report assigned by Wen Zhining.
Cotton was eating sausage at his feet, and the chewing sound echoed in the quiet dormitory. At this moment, there was a knock on the dormitory door.
Ming Nuo asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Eli."
The classmate in the next dormitory was also the adopted son of Mingnuo's grandfather. Mingnuo didn't expect that he would come to him on his own initiative, so he got up and opened the door for him. Eli was standing at the door with a freshly baked biscuit in his hand and a smile on his face.
"I made this myself during baking class." Eli's blue eyes were full of smiles, his dazzling golden hair tied casually behind his head. "It should taste okay. Eat it while it's hot."
Ming Nuo thought about the other person's identity and declined awkwardly, "No, you can keep it and share it with your roommate."
"They have too." Eli walked around Mingnuo and placed the cookies on his desk. He looked at him hesitantly, "I have something I want to tell you, is that okay?"
It's an expected trend.
Ming Nuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Go ahead."
Eli sat down next to Mingnuo. He suddenly reached out and held Mingnuo's hand. Mingnuo was frightened by this sudden action and leaned back quickly to pull his hand back, but Eli held it too tightly.
Ming Nuo: "You...can't you just speak nicely?"
Eli didn't let go. He lowered his eyes and said, "Lorian, you should know that I'm your grandfather's adopted son, right? Actually, that's because your grandfather missed you so much after you got lost."
"He loves you very much and he's old now. If you have time, can you go back and see him?"
Ming Nuo was about to say something when he suddenly felt an itch in his palm. He looked down and saw Eli writing on his palm.
——Don’t go back.
Ming Nuo: “?”
Eli was still trying to persuade Mingnuo to go back to his grandfather's house earnestly, but in fact, his hands never stopped writing.
Eavesdropping, showing goodwill, your brother, sister-in-law.
The combined meaning is: Your grandfather is eavesdropping on our conversation, and he wants me to be nice to you, be with your brother, and be your sister-in-law.
Mingnuo's mind was buzzing. He looked at Eli's brooch and mumbled, "Really?"
"Really." Eli nodded heavily, then added, "Your grandfather looks forward to your return home every day. After all, your father is his most beloved child, and of course he loves you deeply as well."
Mingnuo felt a chill and shivered.
Eli continued writing on his hand: Scold me.
Ming Nuo realized his intention, took a deep breath, slammed the table, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Enough! Stop talking!"
Eli whimpered in a fake manner, gave him a thumbs-up, and stood up and walked out the door. "Lorian, calm down. Don't push me. I just want to tell you that your grandpa misses you very much. Don't be angry."
Ming Nuo: “…”
This guy's acting skills are really good.
"I don't want to talk to you, go away."
Ming Nuo recited his lines numbly, putting on a bit of royal airs, "You're just an adopted son, you're not even worthy to talk to me! If your Highness doesn't want to go, then don't go. In the Flynn family, I only recognize my aunt! What grandparents? I don't know them!"
Eli: "Wuwuwu, Your Highness, how could you do this."
After saying that, Eli slammed the door shut, and then began knocking on the door, "Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Mingnuo was so embarrassed that he tapped his toes in the dormitory listening to the calls. Mianhua also tilted his head in confusion to look at their strange behavior.
After knocking for a long time, Eli returned to his dormitory sobbing. In fact, there were no tears on his face, so he had to cover his face and walk into the dormitory.
My roommate was a minor noble from the Saichuan Empire, and he had gone through a lot of trouble to come to Helios to study.
He said unhappily, "Oh, I don't think the royal family of your Perseus Empire is that great either. Aren't you still a bunch of arrogant people, showing off your power and trying to curry favor with others?"
Who knew that Eli didn't feel his words at all, and instead sobbed to him again, "How could you say that about our Highness? If you hate our empire so much, why did you come to study here? Wuwu, please don't be so hypocritical, I'll be ashamed of you."
roommate:"……"
Damn, this green tea.
