Chapter 126
126 Two Geniuses
Suddenly, Ah Mai’s eyes lit up. It turned out that Gu Man had created a new way to place the toys. Gu Man smiled and waved at Ah Mai. She pointed at the unfinished toys on the table. “Come, Ah Mai. You can arrange the ones at the back.”
Seeing that the babysitter still did not dare to let go of Ah Mai, Cui Lao said, “It’s okay. Let go of Ah Mai and let him come over.”
There was surprise in Cui Lao’s voice. This was the first time he had seen Ah Mai quieten down so quickly, and at this moment, there was a curious and surprised expression on his face. This was the expression a child should have, but Ah Mai had almost never had it before.
Without the restraint of the babysitter, Ah Mai took two steps and stood by the table. From Gu Man’s angle, she could see that his eyelashes were long and curly. His lips were slightly pursed and he looked very serious.
Gu Man deliberately exaggerated her actions. Little Ah Mai actually grinned, revealing two rows of small teeth. He looked up at Gu Man, his two grape-like eyes sparkling.
Old Master Cui watched from the side and was about to cry. His Ah Mai was supposed to be like this.
Gu Man handed the toy to Ah Mai. Ah Mai thought for a moment and placed it in a position. Gu Man immediately drew an arc with her hand and placed it in another position.
Ah Mai immediately clapped her hands together and then grinned excitedly as he took a toy. He shouted something incomprehensible and was about to spit.
Seeing that Ah Mai had put down the last toy, Gu Man lowered her head and patiently discussed with her. “Ah Mai, let’s eat first, okay? Sister is so hungry.”
Ah Mai cocked his head in thought, then nodded and began to pack his toys.
Gu Man helped him pack the toys into a big box. After packing the toys, Ah Mai still clung to Gu Man and wanted to sit beside her. The babysitter quickly moved his chair over.
Uncle Li had already called the waiter to serve the dishes.
“Gu Man, it’s been hard on you. This is the first time Ah Mai has had such a good time. It’s the first time he’s communicated with someone,” Old Master Cui said emotionally.
“Ah Mai is very smart,” Gu Man praised sincerely.
Old Master Cui took off his reading glasses and wiped his eyes.
He was about to lose confidence. Now, Gu Man’s words and Ah Mai’s performance just now gave him hope again, so he could not help but cry.
“Yes, yes. Ah Mai is smart. He’ll get better.” Old Master Cui smiled happily.
“I’m not saying it to comfort you. You saw the toys that Ah Mai and I placed just now. We weren’t just placing them randomly. There was a pattern.”
Hearing Gu Man’s words, Old Master Cui said, “I realized it too. Are you guys playing a game?”
Gu Man smiled. “It’s not a simple game. It’s a simulation of the trajectory of a dark planet in the universe. I think Ah Mai might not know how to calculate this trajectory, but he has an almost intuitive instinct. Perhaps it’s his talent.”
“So, Ah Mai is a little genius?” Old Master Cui asked in surprise.
“You can say that.” Gu Man nodded solemnly.
Old Master Cui almost laughed out loud.
“Girl, since you can play with him like this, it means that you’re a genius yourself. Although I’m already old, I’ve never heard of anything like this. I believe that high schools nowadays don’t teach such profound knowledge, right?” Old Master Cui asked Gu Man with admiration in his eyes.
Gu Man felt a little awkward when someone directly called her a genius. In the end, she said calmly, “I like to study these.”
“Good!” Old Master Cui cheered happily.
In Old Master Cui’s heart, he felt that the two of them were related by blood. Otherwise, why would their talents be the same?
Old Master Cui enjoyed this meal more than any meal he normally had.
He saw that Gu Man was eating very seriously with her head lowered. She seemed to like the food here very much, so he asked, “Girl, what else do you want to eat? Order whatever you want. Don’t be reserved.”
Gu Man looked at the dishes on the table and felt her heart ache. There were already so many dishes on the table. She did not know how much they would cost. Ever since Gu Man bought the house, she had valued money.
Moon wanted her to lie low and wait for the limelight to pass before she accepted more hacking jobs. Therefore, she felt that she had to be careful with her money.
