Chapter 126 A Heavy Topic
Old Xu waved at the two of them, smiling: "It just so happens that A Yu is here too, so I'll call him along. This girl's name is Chi Wan, I told you about her when we were at Gui Lan before."
The grandparents at that table joked, "See, Old Xu has really shown off today."
"Come to think of it, A-Yu has grown up so fast. The last time I saw him, he was still in school..."
"Chi Wan, you may not know this, but we are all very curious about you. I never thought such a young girl could cultivate a ghost orchid. It's true that young people are heroes."
Xiahou Yu pulled out a chair for Chi Wan to sit down while skillfully greeting the elders.
Chi Wan originally just wanted to come over and have a meal with Old Xu to expand his network. Unexpectedly, with Xiahou Yu's involvement, the nature of the matter seems to have changed.
She obediently followed Mr. Xu's introduction and greeted everyone one by one, but as the only two young people present, the looks these elders gave her and Xiahou Yu were really unbearable.
Fortunately, everyone was able to stop talking in time, and Xiahou Yu also took the initiative to find a few topics to divert attention away from the two of them.
Seeing Chi Wan slightly relieved, Xiahou Yu chuckled and said, "They are just joking around. We'll leave after dinner. I'll be back in the afternoon. Will you come with me?"
Chi Wan nodded: "I still have classes tomorrow, and I was planning to leave in the afternoon."
Mr. Xu will have to stay here for two more days to wait for the final award judging session.
On the other side, an old lady who was dressed modestly but looked exquisite in every detail asked Mr. Xu quietly, "Ayu, what's going on..."
Old Xu took a sip of tea slowly and said, "I can't interfere with young people's affairs. But Yuxiu, how is your little grandson now?"
The old lady named Yuxiu sighed: "Speaking of this, it is all thanks to A Yu's concern. The jade plaque has been consecrated and will be returned in a few days. During this period, Xuanxuan's condition has also been very stable. I can finally put my mind at ease. Otherwise, I would not have the mood to come and participate in this..."
As she spoke, she looked at Chi Wan who was concentrating on eating, and laughed secretly, "Who is this girl? This is the first time I've seen Ah Yu help out."
Old Xu laughed and said, "This little girl is amazing. Old Zhou found her. Wasn't there a short period of time before when that guy posted on WeChat Moments every day to show off the orchids he raised? These were given to him by Wanwan. It's all thanks to Old Zhou, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered such a treasure."
The old lady spat at him lightly: "I think you are just pretending to be ignorant. But in the blink of an eye, A Yu has reached the age to start a family... Why didn't Rui Feng come with you to get together this time? We old friends are getting together less and less."
Old Xu poured her a cup of tea and said, "You, when you were young, liked to feel sad about the passing of time. We are both at this age, it's good to do something we like. But Old Zhang is different from me. He is very capable and has a lot on his mind.
"Look, he went to the mountains to look for treasures in order to improve new wheat varieties. It's amazing that he's still running around at his age, and he looks so energetic."
The old lady nodded, with emotion in her voice: "His dream when he was young was to make everyone no longer hungry. Although he has made some achievements now, I know he is not satisfied.
"He is racing against time... Speaking of which, he contacted my old man a few days ago and suddenly asked about the current problem of our energy use. Did he dig up treasure from the mountain?"
Old Xu was not particularly clear about this: "Haven't you heard him say that? In my opinion, Old Zhang is just too worried. Although Old Zhou is very dull, his grandson is indeed excellent. After following Old Zhang for so many years, Old Zhang is so satisfied with him that he wants to take him with him wherever he goes.
"Anyway, there will be a kid from the Zhou family who will inherit his legacy in the future, so why should he always push himself so hard?"
The old lady poured him some tea and said, "Compared to you, no one can see things clearly. But Ruifeng is different. He has been researching for so many years. Who doesn't want to see the day when the results are born?"
Chi Wan didn't know that someone across the table was discussing a very serious topic, and this topic might have something to do with her.
She just thought that the food in this restaurant tasted really good, so she just ate her meal.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yu pointed at the small spot of sauce on her cheek with amusement and handed her a tissue.
Chi Wan took the tissue and wiped it, smiling embarrassedly: "Thank you. I got up late this morning and didn't have time to eat."
Xiahou Yu expressed his understanding: "The chef of this private restaurant is a descendant of an imperial chef."
Chi Wan suddenly realized: "No wonder it's so delicious... Have you finished eating? When should we leave... um, leave the table?"
She was still thinking about the USB flash drive that Song Boyan gave her, and wanted to go back early to see what was on it.
It's just a group of old friends, not that serious. But Old Xu and his group of old friends did not leave so early, so Xiahou Yu simply pulled Chi Wan aside and said he would not disturb the elders from reminiscing about the past, and then he left.
Chi Wan's round-trip ticket was booked at the beginning, but she didn't expect that Xiahou Yu would also be on the same flight with her.
After returning to the hotel and picking up Chi Wan's bag, the two headed straight to the airport.
While waiting for the flight, Xiahou Yu took the initiative to talk about the little mechanical dog and its functions which he did not tell Chi Wan one by one due to lack of time.
Chi Wan shook his phone and said, "You didn't expect that, did you? I already knew all this from Lili. But Lili is really smart and it's fun to talk to her. If Lili hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the camera could be detached. Your company is amazing!"
"Before you said you wanted to improve the basic lives of the disabled through mechanical bionic nannies, and I thought it was a bit far-fetched. But after adapting to the functions of Lili during this period of time, I found that it is far more powerful than I thought."
After all, the first time she saw her casually say "I want to eat an apple, but it's so hard to peel it", she was really surprised when a robotic arm extended from Lili's back and flexibly peeled the fruit and handed it to her.
Listening to Chi Wan praising Lili without reservation, Xiahou Yu's expression softened.
All I can say is that in terms of giving emotional value, Chi Wan has already maxed it out.
He smiled faintly and said, "Each mechanical puppy is unique. They will constantly change themselves according to the owner's personality, living habits, and daily needs until they are perfectly matched with their owner."
Chi Wan nodded frantically. During this period of time, he indeed felt more comfortable getting along with Lili.
Just as she was about to board the plane, Lili's exclusive contact app on her phone suddenly rang.
