Chapter 1548: A World of Its Own
The family of three chatted for a full forty to fifty minutes. The couple listened to their daughter's fantastic ideas. They didn't know what was going on in the child's brain and why she had so many strange ideas, but they listened very carefully and were very supportive.
They are a pair of parents who will never spoil the fun.
Lin Beibei was originally listening with great interest. Although she probably didn't understand what was being said, she found it very interesting just by watching it, especially the face of Sister Caibao on the other end of the phone. Her eyebrows were beaming with joy and her expression was lively. Just by looking at her face, she wanted to jump into the phone and kiss Sister Caibao until she was bald.
But as she listened, she felt something was more and more wrong. Looking at the family of three, she felt like she didn't fit in, as if they were all outsiders.
It’s like their family is a world of their own, and others can only watch from the outside, drooling with envy, but all they can do is watch. Suddenly, I feel so depressed. What’s going on?
Lin Beibei didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that her close roommate in college had now married someone else and had children, and was now a family to that person.
The past time can't be returned...
Feeling so sad and lost, Lin Beibei stood up silently. She needed to take a bath to soothe her wounded heart.
Shen Xi had no idea that her friend had gone from being high spirits to feeling lost. Seeing her take a shower, she didn't care and continued to play with the child.
Caibao is really talkative now. It is true that children cannot be kept at home. They should be allowed to go out more often to interact and play with others. Maybe because she has come into contact with all kinds of people, her vocabulary has grown at a speed they could not imagine, and she really knows everything.
Precisely because she knows so much, she is not as easy to fool as she was when she was a child, and now the child has become difficult to deal with.
Shen Xi promised to buy toys for the little one, which coaxed her into hanging up the phone reluctantly. Before leaving, he kept kissing her, which successfully aroused the envious gaze of Lin Beibei who came out of the bathroom.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Lin Beibei came closer and asked, "Excuse me, how can I give birth to a baby who is as beautiful, cute, and smart as my treasure?"
"Don't think about it, it's impossible." Shen Xi ruthlessly cut off her fantasy.
So many people around her have this great dream, but who has realized it? No one! Not even one!
Her little treasure is God's favorite. She and Chen Chuan have created him with all their heart and soul. He is one-of-a-kind. If others want to have another one, they can just dream on.
Lin Beibei threw the bath towel away and sighed, "Ah, I don't care whether it's a boy or a girl, but Yi Le's family has only given birth to boys in the past few generations, not one."
In this generation, Yi Le is the only one who has not yet married and had children. Everyone else has already completed this task, so the glorious task of giving birth to a girl falls on Lin Beibei.
Her in-laws even said that if she could give birth to a daughter, they would give the house where her in-laws currently lived as a reward to her daughter.
Shows determination!
"The whole family is counting on me to give birth to a girl. Now that I see the treasure, I want to have a baby even more. How about this, Xiaoxi, you write down the recipes you prepared for pregnancy, and the health supplements you took, and I'll follow them when the time comes. How do you think?"
Shen Xi:......
"Go take a shower and go to bed. It's getting late."
"I'm telling you the truth, Creek."
With a "bang", the bathroom door closed, and it was Shen Xi's turn to take a shower.
Lin Beibei knocked on the door outside and pursed her lips: "So heartless, so cold, so unreasonable."
As soon as the door opened, Lin Beibei thought there was something going on and looked at it with shining eyes.
Shen Xi smiled slightly: "I forgot to bring a change of clothes."
As expected, ruthless.
"Let's talk. At most, I'll give you one of my daughter's apartments..."
The door suddenly opened and Shen Xi looked at her expectantly.
"A toilet seat... in a restroom?"
cut!

The next day, Shen Xi went to school to meet with his tutor Ji Anqing, and also got to know his senior classmates.
That evening, Ji Anqing hosted a dinner party with his students, which was also a formal way to welcome Shen Xi to join their team.
This seems to be a tradition for all graduate students to have a meal together when they meet for the first time.
When Shen Xi was studying for his master's degree, his supervisor treated him to a meal. Now that he is studying for his doctorate, he can get another free meal. Just looking at this free meal, he feels that studying for a doctorate is worth it, hehe.
Shen Xi felt that her mentor valued her very much. Not only did her seniors who were still in school come, but even those who had graduated in Jing City were summoned. Look, isn't this respect?
She must be good enough to be valued by her mentor. Shen Xi was very proud of herself.
This year Ji Anqing accepted only her as a student. She was an only child and was under a lot of pressure. Her seniors all looked at her with sympathy, but Shen Xi was not afraid at all.
At the dinner table, within ten minutes of entering the private room, Shen Xi had already chatted and gotten to know all of his senior brothers and sisters.
She spoke smoothly, with an extremely familiar attitude, and was so thick-skinned that all the scientific researchers were stunned.
She can really chat with anyone. She can talk about any topic, from life to study, from academics to housing prices and transportation, and even the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...
He talked and talked, and for some reason, he was very good at livening up the atmosphere, making people relax involuntarily and want to say a few more words. Even the senior who was generally recognized to be the most socially anxious and I was led to talk for several sentences.
How serious is this brother's social phobia? After graduating from college, he took the postgraduate entrance examination in order to avoid working. After graduating from a master's degree, he studied for a doctorate in order to avoid entering the society. After graduating from a doctorate, he still did not want to be contaminated by the big dye vat of society, and currently stays at home.
A PhD from one of the most prestigious universities in the country did not work after graduation and just stayed at home. To be honest, this is really a topic that can become a hot search.
Of course, this brother is not sitting at home relying on his parents. He is currently taking some professional translation jobs online. Yes, in order to make a living, this brother taught himself eight languages. It is really amazing how well he can speak.
He originally didn't want to come out to the dinner tonight, but his tutor gave him a stern warning, saying that if he didn't come, he would have to forget about being his teacher. Only then did he come over with great reluctance, despite all the difficulties.
When he came, he kept his head down and sat in the corner without saying a word.
Who would have thought that Shen Xi would take the initiative to approach him and chat with him.
As soon as Shen Xi spoke, he nervously picked at his clothes and dug his toes into the ground.
"I heard that Senior Brother can speak eight languages. That's amazing. Is he the legendary language genius?"
The senior brother looked up and quickly lowered his head: "No, no."
Can you please stop talking to me? Just pretend I don't exist. There are so many people, aren't they enough for this junior sister to talk to? Why is she looking for him? Is he not low-key enough?
