Chapter 444: Chapter 414 I’m Telling You_3 Chapter 444: Chapter 414 I’m Telling You_3 Yue Cheng also had paper and a pen from Zhuo Xiaomao in his hand, but unlike Zhuo Xiaomao, he didn’t write an array of formulas. Instead, after a brief pause, he directly wrote down a number and then watched Zhuo Xiaomao compute.

“Your formula is wrong,” Yue Cheng pointed at the formula written on Zhuo Xiaomao’s paper and said.

“Huh?!” Zhuo Xiaomao wore a defiant expression, as if to say, If you can’t explain this properly, I’m going to tell my mom on you.

Yue Cheng didn’t mind Zhuo Xiaomao’s glare. He smiled, picked up his paper and pen, and said, “You must be looking at an old book, right? Let me derive it for you once more…”

Zheng Tan: “…” What exactly are you talking about? I don’t understand a damn thing! Isn’t this about two iron balls falling to the ground at the same time? What are you calculating now? Why are you bringing up height and classical physics? Free fall my ass! Mechanical motion, my foot! Formula derivation, crap!

Zheng Tan’s beard trembled, trembled again, and yet again, before he finally turned and went inside, where his intelligence was being stifled, and his self-esteem was bruised. Better to just watch TV.

When going downstairs to pick things up, Zhuo Xiaomao called Zheng Tan to join, and Yue Cheng followed behind them down the stairs. On the way, Zhuo Xiaomao kept introducing Zheng Tan to Yue Cheng, who listened with a smile and not a hint of impatience.

Although the ground below was grass, Zhuo Xiaomao’s later antics with free fall and projectile motion meant throwing too much stuff downward, which still ended up rolling far away. After a struggle to collect everything, Zhuo Xiaomao put all the items in his little box, which included two of Yue Cheng’s more unique little magnetic balls that Zhuo Xiaomao had long coveted.

Yue Cheng reached out to help Zhuo Xiaomao carry the items, but Zhuo Xiaomao, with his short legs, hugged the box tightly and quickly took a few steps forward, “No, no, no!”

Before Zhuo Xiaomao had gotten far, Yue Cheng quickly stepped forward, scooped Zhuo Xiaomao up, and swung him around in a circle in the air.

Zhuo Xiaomao, tightly hugging his box, screamed shrilly.

Children too enjoy shrieking, but unlike older kids and adults, their shrieks don’t always signify fear or panic, but rather indicate their excitement and happiness.

Zheng Tan had never heard Zhuo Xiaomao scream like this before. This kid always seemed more mature than his peers, and even in class, despite his young age, he often dealt with things more stably than others. He didn’t fit in, not like a little kid. But now, for the first time, Zheng Tan felt that the kid was really just a little brat.

“And Black! Black too!”

Hearing Zhuo Xiaomao’s call, Zheng Tan, who was pondering over something, was about to look when he found himself being scooped up.

Yue Cheng, with one hand holding Zhuo Xiaomao and the other holding Zheng Tan, said, “Let’s go, time for dinner!”

The atmosphere at dinner was fairly harmonious, Zhuo Xiaomao quickly warmed up to Yue Cheng, and there was none of the awkwardness from a few days prior, which made Zheng Tan inwardly happy for the kid.

A week later, Yue Cheng proposed to Xiao Zhuo. The box he presented during the proposal contained a ring and a Little Gold Badge.

Each Little Gold Badge proved its owner’s contribution to the nation, while also representing a set of special privileges they had, belonging to a category of people under special protection.

Xiao Zhuo put the two gold coins together.

With the double gold coin protection, Zhuo Xiaomao’s umbrella of protection just got bigger.

In the season when the spring was warm and flowers were blooming, everything seemed to burst forth with vitality. The bell at the Affiliated Primary School rang, and a herd of kids carrying backpacks surged out.

Zheng Tan crouched on a tree branch watching the little brats run out, among them was Zhuo Xiaomao. Neither Xiao Zhuo nor Yue Cheng came to pick him up; instead, a graduate student walked with Zhuo Xiaomao towards the Physics College.

Zhuo Xiaomao looked thrilled; he could observe an experiment in the lab today and had asked many relevant questions along the way, to which the graduate student had patiently responded.

While looking up at the tree flowers, Zhuo Xiaomao spotted Zheng Tan perched on the branch, and his smile grew even wider.

“Black! Hey, Black!” Zhuo Xiaomao waved.

Zheng Tan hesitated before jumping down from the tree to see what the kid wanted to say.

But then Zhuo Xiaomao blurted out: “I’ll tell you…”

Zheng Tan turned and ran. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (wuxiaworld.site) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support, is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.wuxiaworld.site to read.)
