"What did you say!"
Chen Yang was exasperated. Why did all these people use the same tactics? Otherwise, their response to "What did you say?" would be "Say it again."
Chen Yang ignored the mother and walked straight to the boy, who looked to be about ten years old.
This boy should be at the most innocent age, but he has a blank expression, and his eyes are devoid of light, only cold indifference.
"Does your mother arrange everything for you? Does she often tell you what kind of company you should work for?"
The boy paused, then looked at Chen Yang with a somewhat strange expression. He nodded slightly.
Do you manage your own time?
The boy shook his head.
Have you ever played games at a friend's house?
The boy shook his head again.
At this moment, his mother came up, grabbed the boy, looked coldly at Chen Yang, and said, "Please don't instill wrong ideas in my child. He is a genius, different from ordinary children, and cannot live the life of an ordinary child."
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "A woman like you has deeply ingrained ideas. You're only six or seven years older than me, but you're already thinking about your child's future when they're in their thirties."
“That’s foresight. How could a short-sighted parent like you understand?”
Chen Yang knew that this kind of person's mindset was deeply ingrained, and nothing he said would make a difference.
However, seeing the little boy's blank expression, he couldn't help but want to say a few words.
They didn't say anything more. The child's mother snorted twice and left, while Chen Yang and the others continued to watch over the dormitory area.
There are not many geniuses here to begin with, and they only recruit those under the age of sixteen, totaling only about twenty. This is because China has a large population; branches in other countries often only have a few people.
Of course, even among geniuses, there are differences, and Chen Liu is considered one of the best.
The boy from earlier was only slightly below average among these twenty people.
After Chen Yang and his group finished visiting the dormitory area, they returned to the teaching area. Before he even got close, he saw Chen Liu and a group of children gathered together fiddling with something.
Chen Yang's Eagle Eyes saw smoke rising from among them.
He paused for a moment, then looked up and saw the smoke alarm, and rushed forward without hesitation.
He was so fast that Liu Yin didn't even have time to react; she only saw a dark figure rush forward.
Chen Yang grabbed a few pieces of paper from the ground and quickly fanned away the smoke.
"Wow!"
The children suddenly cried out in surprise.
Chen Liu was holding a burning piece of paper. There were still embers on the paper, and on the ground was a set of tools for starting a fire by drawing a bowstring.
Chen Liu, who had been feeling proud, immediately extinguished his anger upon seeing Chen Yang's sudden appearance and looked at Chen Yang innocently.
"Don't pretend, I know you'll play dumb," Chen Yang said.
"Dad, I was wrong," Chen Liu said obediently.
Chen Yang was helpless; he simply couldn't bring himself to be harsh with such a child.
"I didn't teach you how to make fire by friction so you could show off. What if you trigger the smoke alarm?" Chen Yang said.
At this moment, Liu Yin also ran over and stared in disbelief at the fire-starting tools and half-burnt paper on the ground.
These little geniuses are quite mischievous and have caused him a lot of trouble. They can come up with all sorts of things.
But this was the first time she had ever seen someone start a fire by rubbing sticks together. It was absolutely outrageous!
"Chen Liu's father, what else did you teach him?" Liu Yin asked Chen Yang.
"That's all, just teaching him Xingyi Quan and taking care of the dog."
Liu Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xingyiquan, a martial art for physical exercise, might seem a bit strange for children to learn, it didn't matter. As for bringing a dog, that was even more normal.
"Teacher, you'd better not let the other children fight with Chen Liu," Chen Yang said seriously.
Liu Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, these geniuses are all very smart. There are very few people like you. I won't let the other kids beat Chenliu."
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Teenagers are fine. As long as they're not too thin, they should be able to fight Chen Liu. Children under ten are easily beaten to tears by Chen Liu, so we should be more careful."
Liu Yin was taken aback. Was it really that powerful?
"Teacher, don't disbelieve me, my son Chen Liu is incredibly skilled. He made all the kids at the martial arts school cry," Li Su'er said proudly.
Liu Yin looked at Chen Liu and found that although Chen Liu looked thin and small, he was very healthy, and his small arms showed faint muscle lines.
"Teacher, you should still be more careful. Chen Yang's Xingyi Quan is extraordinary. He should be able to take on a few children in Chenliu without any problem."
"Chenliu, you know martial arts?" a little boy asked.
Chen Liu nodded, and then the little boy said, "I once saw someone practicing Tai Chi, but I thought he was just putting on a show. I wonder what you think? Do you want to give it a try?"
Chen Liu nodded, then suddenly rushed forward and easily knocked all the boys down. However, he was careful not to hurt them.
Chen Liu's movements were swift, decisive, and practical, clearly not the kind of Xingyi Quan practiced by the old men in the park. Liu Yin was now completely convinced.
Chen Liu often sparred with Jing Wu in the Micro World, but he always lost.
Jing Wu's talent wasn't much worse than his. He had a better physical foundation and was also a few years older, so it was perfectly normal for Chen Liu to be no match for him.
Among his peers, there were very few in all of China who could fight against Chen Liu.
Liu Yin thought this family was really strange. Instead of properly teaching such a talented child, they made him practice boxing and learn how to make fire by rubbing sticks together.
"What else can Chen Liu do?" Liu Yin asked.
"She can do calligraphy, make jam, and train bears and leopards," Li Su'er said with a grin.
Liu Yin forced a stiff smile.
"Teacher, the bear and leopard were just jokes. Chen Liu only occasionally grazes on the cattle and sheep and helps collect wood."
Liu Yin's smile became even more stiff. What on earth was going on?
Making jam, feeding cows, collecting wood?
Which remote mountain village did this child come from? She remembered Mo Xi being very rich. Do rich people raise their children like this nowadays?
"Su'er, stop joking with the teacher." Chen Yang said to Li Su'er, then turned to Liu Yin and said, "Teacher Liu, we've decided to let Chen Liu stay here and pick him up every weekend."
Liu Yin then came to her senses and led them to the signing room to sign the contract.
In the signing room, they encountered the family from the dormitory area, who were also signing contracts.
The boy's mother snorted coldly and remained silent.
Chen Liu walked over confidently, extended his hand to the boy, and said, "Hello, my name is Chen Liu, I'm in kindergarten."
"My name is Li Li." The boy nodded and said simply, then looked at Chen Liu's small black hand with some curiosity.
"Oh, I forgot to wash my hands when I was making fire by rubbing sticks together," Chen Liu said, withdrawing his hands.
"Do you even accept people like this?" the mother in front asked, frowning.
Chen Liu looked up and said, "If someone like you can get in, then it's not surprising that someone like me is accepted."
