Chapter 54 Adorably Clumsy
She thought it would be a love letter or something, and when she saw the letter, her heart was pounding so hard!
Bang bang bang!
The anticipation and excitement were palpable, but the smile on my face froze slightly the moment I opened the letter.
Zhou Yue, you're such a straight man!
She seriously doubted that Zhou Yue's brain could process information!
Who would write a letter to their wife introducing themselves?
He wrote a full five pages, reviewing his life from birth to his earliest memories, and then to adulthood, a total of twenty-seven years, including how he spent his childhood, what events had an important impact on him, and his relationships with family and friends in his youth.
His growth experience, from his admission to the research institute during his youth to his arrival at the Northwest Base, is detailed in every aspect. It also includes the people and things that had a significant impact on him. The document even outlines his interpersonal relationships and includes a tree diagram to help her understand them.
Cheng Cheng: ...
Well, she was somewhat touched by his thoughtfulness, but what Zhou Yue did was kind of funny.
She now really wants to know one thing: when did Zhou Yue write this letter?
Who understands a person like this? However, Cheng Cheng had to admit that the effect was at least good!
At least she now knew how Zhou Yue had spent the first half of his life, and she couldn't help but imagine a video of Zhou Yue's growth.
As a child, he showed extraordinary intelligence. He was quiet and reserved, a cool little boy who liked to read and study but didn't like to go out and play with his older siblings. Even when his older siblings teased him, he didn't show much emotion.
With a vast collection of books at home, Zhou Yue often spent his long childhood alone in the library, keeping books as his companions and friends.
When Zhou Yue was fourteen, a physicist who later became his mentor visited his home by chance. During their conversation, the scientist discovered Zhou Yue's extraordinary talent in mathematics and physics. This day marked a turning point in Zhou Yue's life.
Two years later, sixteen-year-old Zhou Yue was admitted to the research institute. Two years later, eighteen-year-old Zhou Yue came to the impoverished Northwest Base, where he took root, grew, and sprouted.
In a sense, Zhou Yue's upbringing was very pure; once he decided on something he loved, he plunged headlong into the career he was passionate about.
This letter gave Cheng Cheng a comprehensive understanding of Zhou Yue. Hey, it was indeed simple and effective!
Holding the letter, Cheng Cheng suddenly didn't think Zhou Yue was a straight man anymore, but rather that he was cute, hahaha!
Emotionally clumsy in a cute way!
Zhou Yue still hadn't returned by noon. After Cheng Cheng and Xiao Lingxiao finished eating, one sat at her desk drawing, while the other was engrossed in reading "100,000 Whys".
When Zhou Yue returned home from get off work, the courtyard was quiet.
"Oh, you're back? What time is it?"
"It's so late!!!"
Cheng Cheng jumped up. She hadn't even noticed the time; it was almost six o'clock. It was still bright outside, so she thought it was still early and she hadn't cooked yet!
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's have pancakes tonight!"
"By the way, Zhou Yue, I've left the letters from my cousin and grandparents on the table."
She paused, then said excitedly, "My cousin Watson said in his letter that our idea is great. His publishing house has discussed it internally and they want to collaborate with me on a manuscript for publication!"
Upon hearing this, the man smiled, happy for his wife, "Ah Cheng, congratulations!"
"Same to you! Okay, okay, I'm going to go make dinner now!"
As Cheng Cheng finished speaking, she prepared to go out to make pancakes. Little Ling Xiao, seeing his father return, excitedly shared his joy with him: "Dad, Uncle Hua Sheng sent me a lot of books!"
"Dad, come quick!"
The little girl jumped off the chair, took her father's hand, and went to look at the books Uncle Watson had sent her.
Zhou Yue hesitated, trying to glean something from his wife's face, but he couldn't get any information from her. He wondered if his wife had seen the letter he had written.
Cheng Cheng walked past the man and went out. Today was truly a good day. It was a pity that the base didn't sell soda, otherwise she could have celebrated with soda tonight!
After his wife left, Zhou Yue patiently read the letter his cousin had sent, then picked up the two letters on the table and read them carefully.
At this moment, Xiao Lingxiao remembered what happened that morning. He looked at his father with his clear eyes and accused him, "Dad, why do you only write to Mom and not to Xiaoxiao?"
"Xiaoxiao wants one too!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yue's expression shifted. He pulled his daughter onto his lap and asked in a low voice, "What was Mom's reaction after reading Dad's letter?"
"I don't know~"
The little girl looked up at her father, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly, and said, word by word, "Mom said that children shouldn't meddle in adult matters. Dad, what did you write to Mom? Why did you write to Mom?"
Xiao Lingxiao writes letters to his great-grandparents because they live far away and can only communicate through letters. But his parents are together every day, which he can't understand!
Zhou Yue stared at her daughter for a moment, then coughed lightly. "Mom is right. Children should mind their own business when it comes to adults."
He proactively changed the subject, saying, "Dad wrote you a letter too."
Sure enough, the little girl's attention was diverted. Xiao Lingxiao covered his eyes, "Daddy, I don't want to look. Call me when you're done writing!"
Zhou Yue patted his daughter's head, a smile spreading across his lips. He picked up a pen, wrote a sentence on a piece of draft paper, folded it up, and wrote the recipient's name on it—Zhou Lingxiao.
"I've finished writing, Zhou Lingxiao, please accept this letter."
The little girl opened her eyes, her gaze bright and sparkling, and looked at the letter her father handed her. She then jumped off his lap.
The little boy stood up straight, his posture serious, and took the letter from Zhou Yue's hand with both hands.
Open it and take a look.
Zhou Lingxiao:
Can Daddy invite you to come to class with me tonight?
She recognized all the words on it, and Xiao Lingxiao was stunned. She rushed into Zhou Yue's arms.
"Dad, can I go to class too?"
Zhou Yue nodded, "Xiaoxiao, would you like to go to class with Dad? But when you get to the classroom, you have to be good and not disturb others. You can do your own thing or watch Dad teach."
Regarding the last point, Zhou Yue wasn't too worried. His daughter was well-behaved and sensible, and had an extremely serious and upright attitude towards learning.
"I'm willing! I'm willing to go to class!"
Upon receiving his father's affirmative answer, Xiao Lingxiao cheered!
Cheng Cheng was making pancakes when her daughter came skipping in, followed by Zhou Yue.
"Mom, Dad's taking me to class!"
The little girl ran to her side, her face beaming with joy, excitedly sharing the good news with her. Cheng Cheng glanced at Zhou Yue with interest.
She feigned distress and said, "Really? Xiaoxiao is going to class with Daddy tonight, and Mommy will be lonely at home alone."
"Mother……"
Seeing his mother's sad face, Xiao Lingxiao hesitated, seemingly unsure of what to do. He turned to his father and asked for help, "Dad, can Mom come to class with us?"
Zhou Yue watched his wife tease their daughter, and seeing that the daughter took his wife's words seriously, he smiled and nodded.
Alright, now the problem has been thrown back to Cheng Cheng.
Little Lingxiao was still excited, chattering away, "Mom, then we can go to class with Dad!"
That's great, Mom won't be left alone at home feeling lonely anymore.
"Forehead……"
She didn't want to listen to any nonsense. "Forget it, I suddenly feel that I'm quite fine at home alone. I'll just stay home and wait for you guys to come back."
"Mom, are you really not coming with us? Please, please come!"
Even after dinner, Xiao Lingxiao kept pestering her to go to class with them.
Cheng Cheng tried to distract the little girl by asking, "Do you want to take '100,000 Whys' to see?"
"I'm not bringing it~"
Although she really wanted to finish reading the "100,000 Whys" book that Uncle Watson had sent her, it didn't matter if she didn't understand what her father taught her in class right now; she could just memorize it first.
She can read "100,000 Whys" all day long after her dad goes to work!
Xiao Lingxiao was very good at planning. She asked her mother to bring her a draft notebook and pencil, as well as a notebook of problems that her father had given her.
With her little schoolbag on her back, she walked away with a proud and confident air. Just before leaving, the little girl said worriedly, "Mom, take good care of yourself at home, okay? Lock the door properly. Dad and I will be back after class!"
"knew!"
Cheng Cheng nodded with a smile.
It was windy and cold at night, so Cheng Cheng asked Zhou Yue to bring a military overcoat and told him to remember to wrap his daughter in the overcoat when he came back that night.
Cheng Cheng only turned back after the father and daughter had disappeared from sight.
Busy with her picture book, now that the publication is settled, she wants to finish "Journey to the West" as soon as possible. Time flies when you have something to do.
On the other side, Xiao Lingxiao followed his father to the classroom. He wasn't shy at all. In the classroom, he met Guan Jue and his friends, as well as many other older brothers and sisters he didn't know. Well, I guess he should call them uncles and aunts.
As soon as Zhou Yue appeared, students swarmed around him with questions. After settling his daughter in, he answered them one by one.
Little Lingxiao sat obediently on the stool, took out his workbook from his schoolbag, and did his math problems without disturbing his father.
Before the official start of class, the teacher was surrounded by students asking questions. Guan Jue also had a notebook, but seeing that he couldn't get a word in edgewise, he gave up for the time being.
He walked over to his junior sister, watched what she was doing, stood there for a while, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Xiaoxiao, you've already learned addition and subtraction of four-digit numbers?!"
How old is my junior sister?
Only three years old!!!
What was he doing when he was three years old? He couldn't even recognize all the words yet, and he was still playing in the mud!
Guan Jue was dumbfounded to find that his junior sister had already learned mental arithmetic with four-digit numbers. He had just stood by for a while and watched her calculate. She did not use scratch paper for any of the questions. She would finish one question and move on to the next. In just a few seconds, the answer would be given.
Guan Jue followed along and calculated a few more questions. His answers matched those written down by his junior sister. So, all the answers written down by his junior sister were correct?
Guan Jue's exclamation attracted the attention of the other curious people around him.
The little girl was exquisitely beautiful. She sat upright at the table, completely unmoved, as if she had not been disturbed by anything outside. She was very composed and focused on her own tasks.
But then something even more surprising happened: when class started, the little girl took out her notebook and listened attentively to the lesson.
A pair of bright black eyes stared at the blackboard, her attitude as serious as could be. She was even taking notes while listening to the lesson. How could a little girl understand that?
Zhou Yue occasionally glanced at his daughter, equally curious about whether she had understood.
"I don't understand!"
Little Lingxiao was wrapped in his father's army coat as they walked home against the cold wind, his little voice filled with excitement, "Dad, I've remembered everything here!"
The little girl pulled a hand out of her military overcoat and pointed to her head.
Although she couldn't understand what her father was saying, she remembered it all, and one day she would understand!
Zhou Yue hadn't planned to instill profound knowledge in his daughter so early, but since she was already attending classes with him, he spoke softly and simply about orbital rockets to her.
Xiao Lingxiao listened intently, his eyes shining like stars, as if a door to a new world had been opened for him.
"You're back! Did you have fun in class?"
"It's fun! Mom, I love going to class with Dad!"
The little girl was excited all night and refused to sleep in bed, constantly asking her father questions. Just like her favorite books, she became a walking encyclopedia of "100,000 Whys".
A slight smile appeared on Cheng Cheng's lips as she continued to draw the Queen of the Women's Kingdom.
Zhou Yue finally managed to coax his daughter to sleep and let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
Finally having time to spend with his wife, he walked up behind her, his voice tinged with barely perceptible nervousness, "Ah Cheng, do you understand me a little better now?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Cheng looked up at the other person, her eyes clearly reflecting the man's figure, and smiled slightly: "Lower your head a bit."
Zhou Yue, not understanding why, obediently bowed and lowered his head.
His wife then instructed, "Close your eyes."
Zhou Yue did as instructed.
A soft, warm touch spread from his lips throughout his body, and the moment the man opened his eyes, a voice full of laughter rang out:
"Zhou Yue, how can you be so cute!"
Is he cute?
Zhou Yue frowned slightly, not understanding why his wife thought he was cute, nor wanting to think about it, and instinctively lowered his head to capture that fragrance.
One was sitting in a chair, forced to look up, while the other stood behind, bending over and lowering his head, his large, well-defined hands cupping the woman's face, his knuckles imprinted on her cheeks, his domineering presence leaving no room for evasion.
As the night deepened, Cheng Cheng leaned her head against the man's chest, the sound of his heartbeat rising and falling in her ears, one beat after another, as if striking her heart.
"Ah Cheng, I'll have someone make a bed for Xiao Xiao tomorrow."
The man's breathing was somewhat unsteady, and his usually aloof eyes were now tinged with desire.
A delicate hand reached up and stroked his chin, deliberately sighing, "When Xiaoxiao finds out tomorrow that her number one dad in the world is going to make her sleep in a room by herself, I wonder if she'll still be able to keep that title?"
The man grabbed the woman's mischievous hand, intertwined their fingers, and pressed his forehead against hers.
The room was dimly lit, with only a warm yellow kerosene lamp on the desk shining down, casting a sweet and happy glow on them.
