Chapter 681: Believe in Science (3)
Xiang Yi knew what Shi Yu was thinking but she didn’t expose him and instead pulled him to sit down.
While sensing the softness of the sofa, a trace of shock appeared in Shi Yu’s eyes.
It turns out that there’s such a comfortable thing in this world!
He thought this was happy enough, but he didn’t expect that the next second, Xiang Yi handed him a fluffy blanket, and a rabbit doll.
“Here.” The young girl’s skin was so fair under the sunlight that she seemed to be glowing. “I’m going to start reading the story then.”
Shi Yu stiffly nodded and subconsciously hugged the stuffed rabbit in his arms tightly.
… It was soft.
With Xiang Yi at home, it seemed that everything was soft.
Like her.
All of this was what Shi Yu never even dared to think about.
The sun was warm, just like Xiang Yi’s tender voice. It didn’t take long for Shi Yu to get sleepy.
Even if he were to adhere to the strict tutelage and sit upright, he was still young after all. It did not take long for him small one to sink into that cloud-like softness.
“… The Lemon Prince found the Orange Princess and told her that in this world, fruits may be different from one another, but every fruit deserves to be loved.”
Shi Yu was about to doze off but he still stubbornly asked, “Sister, what if there’s a fruit that no one likes?”
Xiang Yi pondered before asking, “For example?”
“For example… the Durian Princess.” Shi Yu cited the fruit he hated the most as an example while his long eyelashes drooped, casting a shallow shadow. “What if no one in the world likes the Durian Princess?”
Xiang Yi was silent for a while. Stroking his little head, she said, “Maybe the prince who likes durian is still far away and needs Princess Durian to wait a little longer for him to appear.”
Shi Yu’s long eyelashes twitched, “But… What if she can’t wait? You can’t guarantee that your answer is 100% correct, right?”
After asking, he regretted it a little.
Shi Yu’s ability to express and reason with logic was beyond his peers. In a sense, he can be called a genius.
However, the people around him would only ever treat him as a child.
Even if he could solve a puzzle that even adults can’t, all he got in return was his father’s impatient words. “What’s the use of you solving this?”
Or, he would end up being treated like a monkey by others.
“Shi Yu, show us how to recite the pi table!”
When he recited it, those people would often show surprised expressions.
“Not bad, quite impressive.”
Then the conversation would turn in another direction. “But children will suffer from brain damage if they learn so many things! Maybe, the damage will last forever. He might be smart as a kid and end up becoming foolish as an adult!”
He asked questions that few adults could answer.
Whenever they were stumped, they would come up with all kinds of excuses.
“Children don’t need to know this.”
“Well, you’ll know when you grow up!”
“Go, go, go, leave me alone! You can use your phone to search for it and you’ll know!”
“…”
For a long time, Shi Yu had gotten used to it.
He thought to himself that Xiang Yi would probably be unable to answer him or even struggle to think of a way to patronize him.
Unexpectedly…
Xiang Yi’s small hand rested on her cheek and she said adoringly, “Shi Yu, you’re so good, you can think of such a question.”
He froze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yi said seriously, “Everyone can have their own opinions and views. That’s just what I think the answer is.. What about you, Shi Yu? What is your answer? Can you tell me?”
