Chapter 1033: Until We’re Both Hoary-Haired (29)
Why did she get the feeling that she had just been lured into a trap?
And it was so... unexpected.
“Well, you know what? I think I can make do with sharing a lifetime with you, seeing how long it is and all. I mean, look at you. You’re a dummy, you’re slow, and you have really short legs. Without my excellent genes, how could Cola and Pepsi have come out so lovely?” Mr. Sheng said unabashedly.
An Xiaxia couldn’t help but retort, “I’m not as useless as you put it!”
Sheng Yize darted her a glance, his black eyes flickering. “Really? Tell me the functions of sin and cos in trigonometry, then.”
“You...!”
“What’s an attributive clause?”
“Mhm...”
“In an xy plane, if the coordinates of two points are (21,3) and (-23,99), then...”
“Shut up!” An Xiaxia bristled.
Sheng Yize shrugged. “See? You’re dumb as well as grumpy.”
An Xiaxia puffed out her cheeks. Who would remember all that stuff? High school was like a million years ago!
Well, apparently some people did — such as Mr. Brain in front of her.
“Then, we’ll talk about your legs. See for yourself. Just look at the difference between the lengths.” Sheng Yize put his long legs next to An Xiaxia’s, then offered a comment in disdain. “How short.”
Utterly embarrassed, An Xiaxia was only able to come up with a retort much later on. “I have my merits, you know.”
Sheng Yize looked at her curiously. “Such as?”
“I have bigger boobs than you!” An Xiaxia roared indignantly.
The place quieted down instantly and everyone eyed them curiously.
Especially the director, who was taking advantage of the opportunity and asking the cameramen to record the whole thing, which made An Xiaxia bury her face in her hands in embarrassment.
Sheng Yize wrapped his arms around her, chuckling. “That’s a very good point. Tonight... I’ll verify how true it is.”
... Verify my ass! Shame on you!

On the other side.
“Cutie He, let’s call Cuddlie!” Although a nanny was there to look after Cuddlie, Su Xiaomo was still a little worried.
“Alright.” He Jiayu took out his phone, but there was no reception.
After asking around, he was told by the villagers that one had to climb a tree to get a signal around here.
“Can you climb a tree?” Su Xiaomo was baffled.
He Jiayu cleared his throat and said, “With a ladder, I think so.”
They borrowed a ladder, with which He Jiayu climbed a tree and called home.
The nanny picked up, then put Cuddlie on the line.
Cuddlie said in exasperation, “Daddy, why are you calling me now?! I’m still watching cartoons!”
“I missed you. Have you been a good girl?” He Jiayu asked gently.
“You’re such a nag! I have! Why, the fairy is transforming! Bye, dad!”
Cuddlie ditched her old man for a cartoon without hesitation.
Up in the tree, He Jiayu cried a little inwardly.
He climbed down the ladder and ran into Sheng Yize, who had also come out to call his kids.
He Jiayu paused, waiting for an opportunity to laugh at Sheng Yize.
However, Cola and Pepsi were the most adorable kids. “Papa, we miss you so much!”
“I miss you both, too.” Sheng Yize smiled. “Have you been good? Did you drink your milk?”
“Yes!” the two babies replied.
He Jiayu didn’t know what to say.
Why was his kid so different from Sheng Yize’s?
A few steps away, the director checked the footage the cameraman filmed just then and was pleasantly surprised. Beckoning his assistant over, he instructed, “Make a copy of this recording, send it back to town, and have them edit it. Post it online once they’re done!”
