Chen's mother glanced at the house she had lived in for many years, feeling a pang of reluctance, but in the end she closed the door and took Duo Duo downstairs.
He handed the room key to Ye Chenming, then got into the car with Duo Duo. The car was a bit crowded, with all the empty space taken up by luggage.
Ye Chenming joked with Duoduo, "Duoduo, most of these things are yours. I reckon you won't need to buy any more clothes until you graduate from junior high."
Duo Duo smiled so broadly his eyes disappeared. He had finally gained his father's attention, and what could be happier than that?
The grandfather and grandson boarded the car hand in hand, and Southwest also boarded with a large bag of luggage.
Then they passed the luggage through the window onto the train, with Duoduo watching and helping as much as she could.
Southwest smiled and patted Duo Duo's head: "My Duo Duo has grown up."
This simple action reminded Duoduo of how attached she was to her father when she was a child.
Tears welled in her eyes, but her whole face was beaming with a happy smile. Duoduo decided that she would be good to her father from now on.
"Dad, can I write you a letter?"
"Of course you can. You can not only write letters, but also make phone calls. When you have a holiday, you must come to Beijing to visit your father," Southwest said in one breath.
Ye Chenming laughed as he listened to their interaction. That's more like it; fathers and sons don't hold grudges overnight.
The train whistle blew a long blast, signaling its imminent departure. Ye Chenming waved his hands, saying, "Be happy, and take care!"
Duoduo shouted to Chenming, "Thank you, Uncle. I will write to you."
Ye Chenming nodded repeatedly, wondering why he only seemed to understand when they were about to part.
Ye Chenming went straight to work at the Academy of Sciences. In five months, Nan Nan will give birth, so he wants to finish his work for the year ahead of schedule so he can wholeheartedly accompany Nan Nan during childbirth.
Looking at his spirited son, Ye Huili patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly, "You've done what I couldn't."
Ye Chenming didn't quite understand: "Dad, please explain yourself clearly, I don't understand what you mean."
Ye Huili smiled: "I'm very happy that you can bring offspring to the Ye family."
Ye Chenming was dumbfounded. Shouldn't he have said that to Nan Nan? Why did he say it to him?
But thinking about it, it makes sense. His father only had one child in his entire life, so he must have felt regret.
"Dad, I suggest you find a woman who is still fertile and give me a younger brother or sister."
Ye Huili slapped Ye Chenming's hair, making it look messy: "I want to live for another two years, don't cause trouble."
Ye Chenming felt a pang of sorrow; his father's life had been far too tragic.
“Dad, I’m telling you the truth. There’s really no need to have another child, but finding a good companion to keep you company is a good thing.”
Ye Huili shook his head again. Finding a woman is easy, but at this age, one has lost the innocence of youth and could easily find trouble.
Especially since Nan Nan is now the matriarch of the Ye family, if the woman he chose were to clash with Nan Nan, wouldn't that harm the Ye family?
Seeing that his father was determined not to agree, Ye Chenming didn't try to persuade him any further. Many things are simply a matter of fate; if fate brings them together, they will come together, and if it doesn't, forcing them won't help.
The work at the Academy of Sciences is extremely busy and stressful. Sometimes, when a research project hits a bottleneck, it can drive people crazy.
Ye Chenming encountered such a problem. In order to break through this bottleneck, Ye Chenming almost didn't sleep for several days and nights.
Yan Xiaonan was worried that Ye Chenming would not be able to keep up like this, both mentally and physically, and that he should rest when he needed to.
Nourished by the mountain god's aura, Ye Chenming finally had a good night's sleep.
When he woke up, Yan Xiaonan led him into an office in the space.
This office has countless computers and tablets, and even desktop computers.
"Chenming, there is internet here. The internet here is a hundred times faster than the internet at your Academy of Sciences. Also, the internet here can connect to all parts of the world."
Ye Chenming was startled. What did this mean? Please forgive his ignorance, he had never heard of Nan Nan's words before.
Yan Xiaonan didn't say much. She opened a laptop, went to Baidu, and entered a question. The webpage quickly redirected.
Ye Chenming stared intently at the densely packed answers online, then clicked on one of them in disbelief.
Sure enough, the webpage changed again, and the answers became more targeted.
Ye Chenming became interested and asked Yan Xiaonan to return the webpage to the homepage.
Yan Xiaonan didn't operate the page herself, but instead taught Ye Chenming how to operate it step by step, returning the webpage to the Baidu homepage.
Ye Chenming typed a question into the search box: Where am I?
The page started to load, and then related answers for similar songs appeared.
Ye Chenming refused to believe it and clicked on another one, which led to a music website.
Yan Xiaonan clicked a triangle symbol, and music started playing from the computer.
Then a singer's voice rang out, and the singing style and the subtitles were something Ye Chenming had never heard before.
Ye Chenming became addicted to the internet, just like a child who, once he came into contact with a game he liked, would become engrossed and unable to pull himself out.
Yan Xiaonan's little devil has come out again. She wants to use games to attract Ye Chenming and see how strong his self-control is.
Yan Xiaonan doesn't really like playing video games, and even when she does, she doesn't care if they're single-player games, like bubble popping games.
Yan Xiaonan remembered Tetris, so she quickly downloaded the game and asked Ye Chenming to play it.
Ye Chenming played for less than ten minutes before putting down the mouse. It was too easy; he didn't want to play anymore.
Okay, she doesn't understand the world of academic geniuses. Yan Xiaonan put away her playful thoughts and formally told Ye Chenming that he could search for any question on the internet, including the research projects he was working on.
Ye Chenming's eyes lit up like light bulbs. He quickly opened a webpage and typed in the question that had been bothering him for many days.
The answers popped up one by one, and Ye Chenming patiently checked them one by one, completely forgetting about Yan Xiaonan standing next to him.
Yan Xiaonan made Ye Chenming a freshly ground coffee, a tiramisu cake, and some fruit before leaving the space, feeling relieved.
There's a supermarket in the space, so Ye Chenming can choose whatever he wants if he's hungry. Of course, there are also toilets and rest rooms in the space.
Yan Xiaonan managed her business with peace of mind. She was due to give birth at the end of the year, so she had to speed up her work this year and try to prepare the outline for next year's work.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Yan Xiaonan drove back to the eight-courtyard house and remembered that Ye Chenming was still in her space.
He quickly extended his consciousness, made sure no one was around, parked the car on the side of the road, and the person disappeared.
