Ji Yuanyuan felt a little guilty and quickly ran to sit beside him. She asked in a fawning manner, “Brother Mucheng, is this question difficult?”
Qin Mucheng was a little unhappy and shook his head.
Ji Yuanyuan muttered in her heart, Why is this guy still so jealous?
From the bottom of her heart, she treated Uncle Xiao Gong as her biological uncle.
Besides, the reason why she asked about Uncle Xiao Gong was that she knew Uncle Xiao Gong was interested in her aunt.
Uncle Xiao Gong was an introvert, so no one else noticed.
However, when liking someone, your eyes could not lie.
Uncle Xiao Gong is a good person. Now that he has his own company, his income should be decent. Although his academic qualifications were a little lacking, he knew his roots well.
Now that he and his aunt were both in B City, it would be good if they could really be together.
Cheng Shuqin looked at her son and shook her head helplessly. She looked at Qin Haowen and started talking about Gong Wenbai, “Speaking of which, I really haven’t seen Xiao Gong get a girlfriend all these years…”
She lowered her voice, “Don’t tell me he doesn’t like girls?”
Li Xu didn’t expect that someone like Cheng Shuqin would be so gossipy.
She couldn’t help but laugh.
Cheng Shuqin smiled in embarra.s.sment.
Qin Haowen looked at his wife dotingly and explained, “How would he have the chance to interact with girls? Previously, when he followed his father and was on standby 24 hours a day, where was he going to get to know girls? Now that he’s starting his own business, he’s even busier. Even if he wants to get married, he has to get to know a girl first.”
Cheng Shuqin smiled, “You’re right. When Xiao Gong calls again, you can ask him what kind of girl he likes. I’ll find some for him in the company.”
In front of the coffee table, Qin Mucheng put down his pen and handed the solution to Ji Zixuan, “Look, is it the same as your answer?”
Ji Zixuan took it and was not in a hurry to look at the answer. Instead, he watched Qin Mucheng solve the question step by step.
In the end, he was a little excited, “It’s the same. The answer is the same, but your solution is clearer and simpler. Mucheng, you’re really amazing.”
Ji Zixuan looked at Qin Mucheng with a burning gaze.
“Actually, you’re the better one.” Qin Mucheng was a little embarra.s.sed.
Ji Yuanyuan saw the two of them flattering each other and said, “Alright, both of you are very powerful. Stop bragging about each other.”
When Qin Mucheng heard this, his expression turned serious.
“Brother Zixuan is really amazing. This problem is considered very difficult. I’ve been attending the Mathematical Olympiad cram school since elementary school, so I can solve it. However, Brother Zixuan only started learning Mathematical Olympiad last year. In just a few months, he was able to solve such a difficult problem. It can be seen that he is really talented.”
After Qin Mucheng finished speaking to Ji Yuanyuan, he looked at Li Xu and said seriously, “Auntie, you must let Brother Zixuan continue to learn.”
“Of course, as long as your Brother Zixuan is willing to learn.” Li Xu nodded.
While they were talking, Ji Zi’ang took Qin Mucheng’s notebook over.
After looking at it for a few seconds, he made a face and put it down again. He muttered, “I know every symbol, but why can’t I recognize them when they’re connected?”
He rubbed his arms and looked at the two, “So scary!”
The children had not seen each other for a long time, so Li Xu and Zhang Kun deliberately stayed with the Qin family for a while longer.
It wasn’t until half past ten at night that Li Xu felt it would be impolite if they didn’t leave. She then stood up and said, “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. Mucheng still has cla.s.s tomorrow, right? Children, get up. We should go.”
Cheng Shuqin pulled Li Xu’s hand and said reluctantly, “How good would it be to stay? It’s uncomfortable and unsanitary to stay in a hotel.”
“I came in a hurry this time. Everything is in the hotel. Next time, we won’t be polite with you next time.” Li Xu politely declined.
Seeing that Li Xu and Zhang Kun really didn’t want to stay, Cheng Shuqin didn’t force them.
“Alright, you must call us the next time you come.”
The adults were polite, but the children were reluctant to part with each other.
Qin Mucheng held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and asked, “What time are you going back tomorrow? Morning or noon?”
“We’re going to the mall tomorrow morning. We might leave after lunch.” Ji Yuanyuan replied.
Qin Mucheng looked a little disappointed, “It’s a pity that I still have cla.s.ses tomorrow morning…”
He had always been self-disciplined. He would never do something like skip cla.s.s.
Ji Yuanyuan comforted him, “It’s okay. It’s going to be summer vacation soon. When you go to S City, we’ll be able to meet again.”
“Alright!” Qin Mucheng forced himself to perk up.
After some small talk, Li Xu and Zhang Kun got into the car with the three children and drove in the direction of the hotel.
Qin Mucheng stood at the entrance of the villa and watched as the car disappeared. He let out a melancholic sigh.
Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen looked at each other and found it funny.
“Son, just like Yuanyuan said, the summer vacation is coming soon. By then, you’ll have finished your middle school exams. Your father and I won’t care about you. You can play however you want. Let’s endure it for now, okay?”
Qin Mucheng’s lips twitched and he looked at Cheng Shuqin, “I know, Mom!”
Qin Mucheng was almost 16 years old. He was already 1.7 meters tall, taller than Cheng Shuqin.
When Cheng Shuqin spoke to him, she had to raise her head.
Looking at Qin Mucheng’s expression, Cheng Shuqin sighed, “Alright, go to sleep!”
Qin Mucheng looked in the direction where Ji Yuanyuan left a few more times before turning around and walking back.
Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen walked behind them. After Qin Mucheng had gone far away, Cheng Shuqin quietly whispered into Qin Haowen’s ear, “Our son still has a long way to go!”
She stretched out ten fingers, “There’s still close to ten years!”
Qin Haowen immediately understood what Cheng Shuqin meant. He smiled and said, “How can there be ten years? Logically speaking, after the children become adults, parents shouldn’t interfere in their relationships.”
Cheng Shuqin rolled her eyes at him, “Logically speaking, logically speaking, why is there so much logic? In the eyes of parents, 18 years old was considered puppy love. If your son really does that, Yuanyuan’s mother will definitely be anxious.”
No matter what, he had to wait until the girl was twenty years old before his son could make a move.
Qin Haowen sighed helplessly, “That’s hard to say. I think your son won’t be able to stand it until then.”
“What do you mean by your son? That’s our son.”
“Yes, yes, yes, our son.”
The next morning, Li Xu and Zhang Kun brought the children to the mall.
Knowing that Ji Zixuan did rather well in the second round, Li Xu was in a good mood. She spent a lot of money to buy two outfits for each child.
The family returned with a full load..
