The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

1233 Side Story 12: Come Pick Up the Child

The turntable was very exquisitely made and was divided into several segments. There was a silver needle in the middle.

The surrounding children all gathered around curiously.

Lu Guoguo extended her fair little finger.

Tada-

The needle began to spin!

The children around them were all curious.

“Lu Qingchu, do you have a lot of people in your family? Why do you need to use this?”

Lu Qingchu nodded and counted with her fingers.

“Yup! Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Fengmian, Uncle Siyang… This way it’s fair!”

This was not the end!

As she spouted out this long string of words, the children could not quite follow it, but they understood the general meaning.

Ye Ziming nodded seriously.

“So it’s like this! Lu Qingchu, you’re so smart!”

The group of children echoed his sentiments.

Lu Suisui glanced at Lu Guoguo indifferently, as if he did not care where the needle was pointing.

The needle’s speed gradually slowed.

Lu Guoguo held her two small hands together, her small face full of curiosity and anticipation.

“Who is it?”

Everyone was moved by her emotions, and several small heads gathered together, looking at her eagerly.

Finally, the needle slowly stopped and pointed to a grid.

— Uncle Siyang.

The children all asked impatiently, “Who is this?”

Most of them did not really recognize these words.

Seeing this, Lu Guoguo did not immediately answer their questions. Instead, she stretched out her little finger and moved the needle to the side.

— Grandpa.

“Alright, it’s settled!”

Lu Guoguo happily raised the wheel and proudly showed it to everyone. She raised her little face, and her big black grape-like eyes curved into crescents.

“Grandpa will be here to pick us up today!”

…

The classroom was silent for a moment.

All the children were dumbfounded.

Only Lu Suisui, who seemed to be used to this, calmly turned a page of the book on the table.

Lu Guoguo looked over happily.

“Big Brother! We can go to Grandpa’s house today!”

Lu Suisui pondered for a while and touched her head. He smiled.

“It just so happens that I have some questions to ask our grandfather. Guoguo’s luck is really good.”

“Exactly!”

Lu Guoguo happily put away the turntable and planned to call her grandfather later.

“L-Lu Qingchu…” stammered Ye Ziming. What had happened in front of them had been so unexpected that no one had been able to react.

No one had expected Lu Qingchu to do this.

“You, didn’t you say that the wheel was used for fairness? B-but you…”

So many pairs of eyes had been watching!

Why had she moved the needle over?

“What?”

Lu Qingchu blinked.

“Yes! The names of Uncle Siyang and all the others are all on it! And every grid on the wheel is the same size. Isn’t that fair?”

Ye Ziming was at a loss.

The surrounding children were also at a loss.

Lu Suisui turned another page of his book.

Very good. It seemed that Guoguo’s statistics and probability were quite good.

…

At the Fino Laboratory.

Shen Li wore a white lab coat and stood in front of three large computer screens. Behind her stood a few researchers who were also wearing lab coats.

Among them, Shen Li was the youngest, but she had the highest title and the most experience.

A picture of a star cluster was displayed on the leftmost screen, while the two screens on the right displayed data and calculations.

Her eyes lingered on the screen on the far right for a few seconds, then she took out a pen from her left chest and tapped on a certain spot.

“There’s an error in the calculation here.”

The few people behind him quickly followed and looked over.

A mistake?

They had not even finished reading the data, how could she have spotted the error?

However, no one dared to question Shen Li’s professionalism.

She was now the head of the Fino Laboratory Branch in the Capital.

It was an extremely rare opportunity for her to personally lead and guide them.

“Adjust the parameters, measure, and calculate again.”

Shen Li’s voice was cold and calm, as her long, white fingers tapped on the keyboard a few times.

For a moment, there was only the sound of the supercomputer running and her tapping on the keyboard in the laboratory.

After a while, she put the pen back to her left chest and looked at the time. It was already three in the afternoon.

“Alright, that’s all for today.”

As she spoke, she walked out, as if she was about to leave.

Since Shen Li had multiple roles now, she did not spend too much time in the laboratory, and everyone was used to it.

“Oh, that’s right.”

She took a few steps and suddenly thought of something.

“Please cancel the meeting that was originally scheduled for this afternoon and change it to tomorrow morning.”

The others were stunned.

Shen Li paused and added, “Professor Shen has other plans this afternoon.”

Naturally, Professor Shen Shen Zhijin.

He was an extremely important person in this meeting. If he could not make it, naturally, it would be postponed.

The others immediately nodded.

“Yes.”

…

Shen Li changed her clothes and walked out of the laboratory.

A black car was already waiting outside the door.

A man in a black shirt leaned against the car door, looking cold, abstinent, noble, and lazy.

When he heard the sound of footsteps, he looked up, his dark eyes deep and dark.

Shen Li walked over and stood in front of him.

“I was held up by something. Second Brother, have you been waiting for a long time?”

Lu Huaiyu smiled and opened the car door for her.

“I just arrived.”

Shen Li did not really believe that.

She sat in the front passenger seat.

Lu Huaiyu had one hand on the car door. He could tell what she was thinking from her expression.

He bent over slightly.

“Ah Li.”

She raised her head.

He laughed in a low voice.

“You have to be patient when you come to pick up a child.”

…

On the first day of school, a miraculous scene appeared at the affiliated kindergarten of Xijing University.

It was supposed to be a chaotic scene, but because of the appearance of the two new children, all the children in the park became exceptionally quiet and well-behaved.

Lu Suisui and Lu Guoguo held hands and stood together in the first row.

Originally, they had stood in the middle, but the children in front of them kept looking back, causing the line to become out of shape.

In the end, the only thing Teacher Su could do was allow the two of them to stand together at the front.

Everyone could not help but look at the two little dumplings that looked as if they had been carved from jade.

Lu Guoguo kept looking out of the door until she saw a familiar tall figure. She immediately waved her little hand.

“Grandpa! Grandpa! We’re here!”

There were many parents who had arrived early outside the gate. When they heard this, they all turned around subconsciously.

“Vice-Principal Shen?”

“Is that… Shen Zhijin? So those two little dumplings are from their family?”

“You don’t say… Those two children really do have some resemblance to him.”

Many people greeted him warmly.

Shen Zhijin nodded gently and returned the greeting politely in his usual distant and cold manner.

When he arrived at the door and saw the two little ones, his brows relaxed and he revealed a gentle smile that he rarely showed to ordinary people.

Lu Guoguo ran over with her short legs and threw herself into his arms.

“Grandpa!”

Shen Zhijin picked up the soft and fragrant bundle and looked at Lu Suisui.

Lu Suisui was very reserved. He walked over step by step, grabbed his hand, and looked up.

“Grandpa.”

He was a big boy now. He did not need to be carried. He could walk on his own.

Shen Zhijin understood and held his hand as they walked.

“Guoguo, Suisui, was kindergarten fun?”

Lu Guoguo wrapped her arms around Shen Zhijin’s neck.

“Fun! But my brother and I really missed Grandpa! I was lucky today, and the wheel went to Grandpa!”

Lu Suisui nodded seriously.

“Yeah.”

…

At Jinshui No. 1 Courtyard.

Gu Siyang looked at his row of supercars that were already covered in a layer of dust and scratched his head in frustration.

“So many times! Why isn’t it my turn yet?!”
