Ignoring the sarcastic look Wang Ci gave him, Xia Chao said gently, "Feng Guang, in a few days, that brother from the Fu family will be visiting us. When that happens, you can't just tell him you don't like him, understand?"
"Oh..." Feng Guang poked at his rice bowl with his chopsticks, giving a perfunctory reply.
Wang Ci placed a piece of meat into Feng Guang's bowl, smiling beautifully, "It's okay if Feng Guang doesn't like it. You don't have to force yourself to like things you don't like. My daughter doesn't have to make herself suffer."
Xia Chao picked up the newspaper again, as if he hadn't heard Wang Ci's words at all.
The entire Xia family had become accustomed to the couple's way of getting along, which was to often ignore what the other said.
"Brother, why do you think Dad wants me to get along well with Brother Fu?" Feng Guang sat on the sofa in the living room. Outside, there was the sound of fireworks. Ji You liked fireworks, so she went outside to play with the butler with great enthusiasm. She envied Ji You because Ji You was not afraid of the cold, unlike her, who could only huddle in the warm living room.
Ji Mian's gaze remained fixed on his laptop as he analyzed the batch of experimental data. "Perhaps your father is looking for another brother for you."
He was just saying that offhand; it's not unusual for children from wealthy families to be engaged early on.
"But I have my brother, that's enough."
These words reached Ji Mian's ears, and he stopped typing. He turned his head and saw her crawling beside him like a cat. He had known for a long time that her eyes were beautiful, but no matter how many times he saw them up close, he couldn't help but sigh.
She leaned closer, staring at his computer screen. "Brother... I've seen you looking at the computer for a long time. What do these numbers mean?"
"One number represents one life."
She trembled and looked up at him.
Ji Mian smiled faintly, "How could that be? These are just my experimental data."
"experiment?"
"For example, cultivating a genetically modified flower could allow its pollen to spread its own characteristics to other plants that receive the pollen. In other words, even if the plants that are being spread to are different varieties, they can still exhibit the characteristics of the original flower after fertilization." Naturally, if this invention is successful, it will also have an unimaginable speed in spreading diseases and viruses.
Feng Guang blinked in confusion, "So... if apple pollen lands on a strawberry flower, then there will be a strawberry that grows as big as an apple!"
Ji Mian hadn't expected her to ask such a naive question, but in his eyes, she was just a childish girl. He should have found it laughable, but he actually thought about it seriously and finally nodded, "What Feng Guang said isn't impossible."
"Brother! I want a strawberry the size of an apple!" She shook his arm, sweetly pleading, "Brother, can you make me a strawberry the size of an apple? I'll give you all my allowance and all the stuffed animals in my room."
"You really want a strawberry the size of an apple?"
"Yes!" She nodded solemnly, clearly wanting it very much.
Ji Mian suddenly thought that his virus research had only just begun after a long period of effort. Why not make a strawberry the size of an apple? That seemed much simpler.
