I thought I was a jerk

After Father Xue dealt with these matters, he went to see his two sons.

Xue Ci and Xue Fu had just finished their dinner, and there were no entertainment items in the training camp, so Xue Ci nestled under the thick quilt to read.He leaned against the head of the bed, folded his calf and rolled up a piece of quilt, the book was leaning on his lap, placed vertically, and the bedside light was turned on very brightly.Xue Fu brought his own tablet, and sat on his younger brother's bedside to brush up questions. As the sky outside gradually darkened, he turned up the lights from time to time, occasionally stopped to look at his younger brother, and unconsciously brought a smile on his face.

His brother is so good.

cute.

To Xue Ci, such a scene of brotherly harmony is actually very weird.But he really couldn't find a reason to drive Xue Fu out - Xue Fu came here temporarily, and the training camp didn't prepare a room for him.On the contrary, the single room arranged by each student is big enough to accommodate two or three people. Xue Fu can only be forced (although he looks a little happy) to live with his younger brother.

This arrangement satisfied Xue Fu enough, after all his younger brother was injured, even if he slept next door, he would worry about lifting the quilt from time to time to take a look at Xue Ci in the middle of the night.

Before Xue Zhengjing entered the door, he blew some wind outside to dissipate the smell of cigarettes from his body.But unavoidably, it also brought in the coldness of the cloudy day, he seemed to be wrapped in wind and snow, and the air around him was moist, as soon as he entered the door, the two sons looked up at him.

Xue Ci was trapped in the quilt, her black hair was scattered casually, her curled eyelashes were drooping, and her fair complexion looked extremely soft under the light.He raised his head and looked at it in a daze. The whole person seemed to see only black and white, except for that little lip that was bright red and beautiful.

Father Xue's eyes became softer.

With a low voice, he asked, "What did you do this afternoon?"

He knew that Xue Fu didn't honestly take Xue Ci to the medical room, but he didn't intend to pursue it.

Hearing this question, Xue Fu, who was usually stable, still had a slightly awkward look on his face, and he was a little bit unwilling to grit his teeth.Xue Zhengjing could see through Xue Fu's little emotions with a glance, and asked him again, "Why?"

But his eyes fell on Xue Ci, seeing that the child's face was neat and clean, the same as when he left, and there was no sign of grievance, so he was a little relieved.

Of course Xue Fu was embarrassed to recall the scene where he was outraged by outsiders again in front of his father, and he didn't want his younger brother to recall his embarrassing deeds again.So he coughed, and casually said some things about getting along with Xue Ci to divert his attention, but in the end, he retaliated with a little thoughtfulness: "I have seen the long lamp is bright, and he seems to have a tendency to violence. Such a dangerous person , it's better to let Ah Ci have less contact with him."

When Xue Ci entered, his attention was diverted.That page of the book was pinched at his fingertips for a long time.At this time, he simply closed it, and his eyes fell on the eldest brother.

In fact, apart from the discord at the beginning, the long lights behind can be said to be warm and thoughtful.Hearing Xue Ci say that Xue Fu was curious about the training camp, he took them around, never stopped talking, and talked about all the funny and out-of-the-ordinary places. Xue Ci was not interested in these, but he was so happy that he didn't need to open his mouth. .

But Xue Fu didn't seem very happy.

Thinking like this, Xue Ci didn't expose Xue Fu, and went to "cry for injustice" for Chang Dengming.

Xue Zhengjing, on the other hand, seemed to agree.

He said, "Of course, I'll keep him away from your brother."

Xue Zhengjing and Xue Fu seem to always like to mention him.

Xue Ci's eyelashes drooped again, covering the thoughts in his eyes.

He was no longer overjoyed by a little affection from his relatives, and even more wary and suspicious of this kind of unreasonable kindness.

At this time, Father Xue hadn't left yet, so he sat up, the soft bed sank slightly, and Father Xue leaned against him.Xue Ci could even feel his gaze falling on the top of his head from top to bottom. He couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was, but he had a strong sense of presence.

"Watching "Chip"?"

The full title of this book is called "Parallel Strategies Applicable to Research and Analysis of Superconductor Chips", which is the basis of many sophisticated studies and is also related to the current research direction of the Xue family.Although it is a basic reference book, Father Xue still has the first edition of the book in his study.

Xue Ci has read it many times in his previous life, he can be said to be familiar with it, and he often reads it new.

There will be some collection of books in the training camp room, whether it is well decorated or supervised learning, most of them are too esoteric for children of this age.But Xue Ci didn't notice. When he was preparing to kill time, he subconsciously chose the book he was most familiar with. He didn't expect to be noticed by Xue Zhengjing.

Xue Zhengjing didn't ask the most basic question, such as "Do you understand?"Instead, he immediately asked: "Xue Ci, are you interested in this aspect?"

This was originally just an ordinary question, but since it was Xue Zhengjing's question, Xue Ci couldn't help thinking deeply about the meaning of his words.

Are you implying that you shouldn't be interested in these things?

After all, Xue Zhengjing in the last life, when he saw that he was learning about the Xue family's business, he couldn't help but show a defensive look, cold and disgusted, as if he was looking at an enemy who was ready to seek profit at any time.

Now, since he was so young, he has to start beating?

Xue Ci clasped the book with his fingertips, turning slightly pale.

In his previous life, he was asked almost similar questions.

How did he answer back then?

Xue Ci was afraid of his father's gaze, afraid of the beast that seemed to open its mouth to him, afraid of the bottomless darkness that hesitated on the road ahead.

He chose the answer that would please his father, and everyone else, the most.

"……No."

"It's just that the pictures on it are very pretty." Xue Ci explained awkwardly and clumsily, and even ridiculously unfolded the black and white product pictures that accounted for a very small amount of space on it to support his own words.

Of course, Father Xue just turned his head away indifferently, as if it was just a casual question just now, and he would forget it in a second.

-

Xue Ci held the spine of the book and opened the "Chip".

Page 275.

The book was unfolded, and it landed on a page of black and white product construction drawings without any mistakes. Xue Ci turned the book over and showed that page to Xue Zhengjing. His fingertips landed on the precise mechanical diagram, and at the same time he spoke quite fluently. Corresponding function and principle composition.

Xue Fu was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on Xue Ci.That book is also one of his must-study books, but his understanding is far less thorough than that of Xue Ci.

He was even a little fascinated by what he heard, and felt that such a younger brother... seemed to be shining, extremely calm, and completely different from the soft image in his memory that needed to be protected by him.

This made Xue Fu feel a little frustrated.

Xue Zhengjing's eyes became brighter and brighter following Xue Ci's voice.

And Xue Ci just dissected each step slowly—considering the knowledge of a nine-year-old child, many of what he said were not his own thoughts after understanding, but mostly the current inherent theories. "from.There are also many uncommon words mixed in, but they are not used properly. It is unavoidable to be suspected of showing off skills, but such comprehensive knowledge points are also extremely scary.

Xue Ci finished speaking slowly before closing the book.

His dark eyes also met Xue Zhengjing.

"Interested." Xue Ci said.

This giant beast that was once unattainable to him, the source of all his longing and fear, has made Xue Ci no longer so afraid.

But Xue Zhengjing didn't seem to be angry.

He suddenly moved closer to Xue Ci.Xue Ci raised his head slightly, and subconsciously wanted to close his eyes to protect the most vulnerable point on his face.But in the end, he just lowered his eyelashes and looked at Xue Zhengjing stubbornly.Immediately afterwards, Xue Zhengjing carried Xue Ci out of the quilt—as easily as taking out a cigarette from a cigarette case, and then lifted Xue Ci up with his arms in the posture of "lifting high" , his face was overjoyed: "As expected of my Xue Zhengjing's son!"

Xue Ci: "...!"

This posture is really too shameful, don't mention that Xue Ci's soul is now an adult, even if he is only nine years old, he can't stand this kind of gesture.

His skin is thin, and his fair cheeks turn red almost instantly, even his earlobes are dripping with color.Although Xue Ci's heart is now indifferent, but from the outside, she looks shy and cute.

Xue Fu looked at his shy younger brother, and couldn't help being a little cute.But he still reacted with determination, and said solemnly to Father Xue: "Father, please put my brother down, he is going to catch a cold."

Xue Ci is now wearing pajamas, which are actually not too thin, but the air is suddenly cold, and with Xue Zhengjing's body wrapped in the cold air from the outside, it's no wonder that Xue Fu's tone is a little disgusted.

In fact, Xue Zhengjing rarely showed his emotions so much, this time he was really happy.Hearing Xue Fu's reminder, Xue Zhengjing put Xue Ci back - Xue Ci was thin, but still weighed dozens of kilograms.Father Xue's movements were really easy and quick, and he even tucked the corner of the quilt for Xue Ci intimately, and pulled out the book without any hassle.

"Although you are very talented, don't be in a hurry now, father will find you a teacher," Xue Zhengjing said seriously again, "It's getting late now, don't read any more, it's not good for your eyes."

Xue Fu couldn't help but nodded in agreement, and the tablet in his hand turned off automatically because it hadn't been operated for a long time.

Xue Ci: "..."

He was suddenly concerned about Xue Zhengjing's indigestion, and couldn't help reminding Xue Zhengjing that he should pay attention to Xue Fu, "...the elder brother is not good for his eyes."

Xue Fu, who was cared by his younger brother, suddenly felt as if he had melted into a group of honey. In his heart, Ah Ci knew how to love others the most. As expected, Ah Ci liked his brother the most—he immediately put away the tablet, lay down beside Xue Ci, and rubbed Rubbing his soft black hair: "Ah Ci, you have injured your eyes, so be careful. Don't worry about brother, brother is used to it."

"But since Ah Ci said it." Xue Fu said softly, "Brother will sleep with you."

Xue Ci paused.

No...he didn't mean that.

Xue Zhengjing struggled a bit, but still felt that it was too unseemly for him to stay, so he just said seriously and bluntly: "Go to bed early. I'll be leaving tomorrow."

The lights go out.

Xue Ci opened his eyes, not knowing how he fell asleep in the end.

Around the wee hours of the morning, his door was pushed open.Xue Ci woke up suddenly, listening to the footsteps vigilantly.

But Xue Fu got up from the bed and said, "Ah Ci is still awake."

While talking on the phone in a low voice, Xue Zhengjing explained irritably, "Something went wrong. I have to go back now."

Xue Fu was a little hesitant: "Should I call Ah Ci? He went to bed late yesterday, and children tend to be sleepy."

Xue Zhengjing replied: "No."

Xue Ci originally wanted to open his eyes, but at this moment he closed them again.

He thought that since Xue Zhengjing wasn't going to call him, maybe he would stay here and take him back to Xue's house in a few days.

It would be nice to be a few days later.

But only after a while, Xue Zhengjing directly carried Xue Ci out, put on a thick overcoat, wrapped the child tightly, and looked like he was going to carry him away like this——

And Xue Ci's scalp was numb.I had to recognize the reality, Father Xue probably wouldn't watch him fall asleep and leave him behind, so he could only pretend that he had just woken up, his eyes were sleepy, and his voice was vague: "Leaving?"
