Gu Junzhu:”…”
Alright then.
Even the most brilliant child is still a child, but this kid has quite the imagination!
The little guy didn’t care about Gu Junzhu’s internal monologue, he only looked up at him with eyes radiating admiration: “Daddy is so cool! Daddy is so awesome!”
Gu Junzhu:
Right.
Why was he so disappointed about not being able to climb a building barehanded?
Whether he could climb a building didn’t matter, the important thing was he had countless subordinates who could, and he owned countless skyscrapers all over the world!
What was that feeling of sudden defeat and insignificance about before?
This kid is toxic!
He held onto the little fellow in his lap firmly, ruffling his hair: “Xiao Shu is also great, acing the entrance exam and topping the whole grade!”
“That’s because of Mom and Dad’s good genes!” even when they were in the car, the little fellow couldn’t bear to leave Gu Junzhu’s lap, wrapping his arms around Gu Junzhu’s neck and asking, “Dad, did you ever take part in survival training in the wilderness?”
“Dad, when you attended survival training, did you bring photos of me and Mom with you?”
“Dad, when you miss me and Mom, do you cry?”
“Dad, have you seen a poisonous snake while on a mission? Mom is really scared of snakes!”
The sequence of questions reminded Gu Junzhu of a dialogue between Jiang Liuer and Sun Wukong in the popular movie “The Return of the Great Sage”.
He happened to catch a glimpse of that dialogue while taking a meal in the company cafeteria, and it left a strong impression on him.
Jiang Liuer asked, “Great Sage, are the Four Heavenly Kings brothers?”
The Great Sage answered: “They are sisters!”
Jiang Liuer asked: “Is Nezha a boy?”
The Great Sage answered: “A girl!”
Jiang Liuer asked: “Does the Pagoda-bearing Heavenly King have a tower?”
The Great Sage answered: “Nope!”
Jiang Liuer asked:” Are there people inside the tower?”
The Great Sage answered: “Ah, I told you, there’s no tower!”
In “The Return of the Great Sage”, at the beginning, Sun Wukong was impatient and indifferent to Jiang Liuer.
However, witnessing Jiang Liuer’s unwavering faith in him, him standing on a stone, with sparkles in his eyes, saying, “Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, has a body as hard as mysterious iron and possesses Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils. He is immortal and has Seventy-Two Transformations. With his Somersault cloud, he can travel 108,000 miles! He also owns the Ruyi Magical Rod which weighs 13,500 pounds…With the Great Saint by our side, we fear nothing, the Great Saint will protect us!”
Touch by such pure and unwavering faith, the defiant Great Sage was eventually moved. For Jiang Liuer, he genuinely cared, cried tears, broke free from his shackles, and was reborn in a blaze of glory.
At this moment, he felt somewhat like the Monkey King in “The Return of the Great Sage”.
Even though he was willful at the start, just playing around casually.
But after actually holding the kid in his arms, and giving him a few more glances, he couldn’t help wanting to show genuine affection.
He surrendered faster than the Monkey King!
The Monkey King still fobbed off Jiang Liuer initially for a while, but he barely lasted a few minutes. He obediently answered any questions the little fellow asked, without any signs of impatience or irritation.
Looking at their father-son like exchange, Ye Xingbei’s gaze softened, and unconsciously, her regrets about letting Gu Junzhu pretend to be her son’s biological father evaporated.
Xiao Shu was happy when he was with her and his two older brothers as well.
But the happiness then, was different from the happiness now..
