Shi Qingtong was surprised to know that the son whom she didn’t spend too much ti and energy on, suddenly cared about a girl so much.
She couldn’t tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing for her autistic boy.
The good thing was that he was finally willing to open himself up, and the bad thing was that he might rely on the girl too much and eventually get hurt.
“Buying a car is nothing. I wanted you to have a car. I know you want your girlfriend to be happy, but rember, don’t be too free-handed. After all, we’re not business people. You should keep a low profile.” Shi Qingtong reminded him saying, “Also, do not tell her about the project that you’re working on. It’s for her own good. The less she knows about the project, the safer she will be.”
“I know,” Jiang Yuning responded.
“Also, say thank you to Xinxin.” Shi Qingtong sighed. “She’s working day and night to make that robot chef for you.”
“Em, Xinxin is very nice,” said Jiang Yuning. “I’ll make her a watch as soon as I can.”
“You... never mind.” Shi Qingtong felt helpless. Her son’s low EQ was inherited. She had no way to change it.
After ending the call, Jiang Yuning thought for a mont, then texted He Xin—’Thank you.’
He Xin replied, ‘You don’t need to thank . We are good friends who grew up in the sa lab. When will you co back to Beijing?’
Jiang Yuning—’I don’t have the ti right now.’
He Xin—’I understand. I heard that you’re researching the new thermal-magnetizing material in Xia City University with Professor Han.’
Jiang Yuning—’That’s not the only reason. I also need to keep my girlfriend company.’
After he sent that ssage, his phone stayed quiet for a while. He dropped the phone and continued his experint until his phone started ringing.
“You have a girlfriend?” He Xin’s deep voice was heard.
“Hmm.” Jiang Yuning nodded.
He Xin stayed silent for quite a while. Gradually, her voice grew bitter. “Why didn’t you ever ntion it to ?”
“Why would I talk to you about that?” Jiang Yuning didn’t understand. “And you know I don’t like talking.”
He Xin gave a bitter smile. Yeah, they only talked about science. He had no interest in starting a relationship at all, so she could only talk to him about science. She thought nothing but science could ever exist in his world, but to her surprise, he changed after he went to Xia City.
“What kind of a girl she is?”
“A policewoman,” said Jiang Yuning sweetly.
“Is the robot chef for her?” He Xin figured it out.
“Yes.”
He Xin didn’t say a word for a long while.
As she stayed silent, Jiang Yuning thought she was done talking, so he said, “I gotta go if there’s nothing else you want to say. I still need to experint.”
“All right.”
He Xin dropped her phone, buried her head in her arms and burst in tears.
She liked him since they were little. How co he suddenly fell for another girl? Why didn’t anyone tell her about it?
Jiang Yuning liked the girl, but his family might not accept her.
She hurriedly called Shi Qingtong. “Aunty Shi, I heard that Yuning has a girlfriend now. Is that true?”
Shi Qingtong felt guilty. Earlier, she was worried that her autistic son may never marry a girl on his own, so she talked to He Xin’s family about arranging him and He Xin to marry each other. She knew that He Xin liked her son and she believed that He Xin would tolerate her son, but...”
“Xinxin, I didn’t know about it until his father told recently.”
He Xin was stunned for a short while, then said, “Aunty, haven’t you talked to my father about letting Yuning and I marry each other?”
“I talked to Yuning about it.” Shi Qingtong smiled bitterly. “But you know how autistic he was before. He barely listened to when I was talking to him. When I said ten words to him, it would be amazing if he could hear two.”
