After playing for a while, Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao continued their walk with a few grandsons, planning to take a lap around the park before heading back.
However, when they reached the large stone at the edge of the stone bridge, Shitou suddenly stopped and circled the stone, reluctant to move on.
"Keep an eye on Beibei and Xiao Shu for , I’m going to take Shitou to pee," Xia Xiao said, asking Gao Jiaxing to watch over Xiao Shu and Beibei while she carried Shitou to the side of the large stone to urinate, whispering, "What’s the matter, is there sothing wrong with this stone?"
"There is a little bit of energy fluctuation inside, but not much," Shitou replied.
"So, the one you gave just now, is that an energy stone?" Xia Xiao asked.
"That wasn’t, it was jade."
Xia Xiao stroked Shitou’s head; what a treasure he was. She whispered to Shitou, "Don’t let anyone know about your ability."
Shitou nodded—he, of course, wasn’t foolish.
Xia Xiao then felt relieved but looked at the large stone and asked, "What do you plan to do about it?" Contemplating whether to take the large stone from the park back ho?
Xia Xiao looked at the three big characters on the stone, ’stone arch bridge,’ and thought that making the stone disappear without a trace would indeed be a big deal.
It might be better to replace it with another large stone, but it wouldn’t be identical, and she couldn’t replicate those sa characters either.
Shitou frowned slightly and slowly shook his head, "Let’s leave it for now, I can’t attract energy stones yet, but energy stones are useful for the space."
"Can’t I give my space to you?" Xia Xiao asked, thinking that it would be a pity if the space disappeared after her death. It’d be nice if she could pass it on to Shitou.
"I don’t know," Shitou replied, shaking his head; he didn’t know either.
Though Shitou wouldn’t mind claiming the space, it didn’t make much difference since it was with Xia Xiao. However, he was unsure whether the space would return to him after Xia Xiao was gone.
After all, since he had been reborn, Shitou didn’t have an intense desire for the space. He was still young, and as long as he was alive, he had the ability to create whatever he wanted. Therefore, space or no space, Shitou felt he could manage either way—he didn’t necessarily have to rely on the space.
As for the Divine Water in the space, they could just fill so up and keep it when the ti ca.
As Shitou thought this, so did Xia Xiao. She figured they could just bottle up the spring water when necessary.
After Shitou finished peeing, Xia Xiao helped Beibei to urinate as well. After they had all grown tired, Beibei and Xiao Shu sat in the stroller, with Shitou in Gao Jiaxing’s arms and Xia Xiao pushing the stroller.
When they returned ho, Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong had also arrived, and the elders had bought breakfast at the park entrance, so they weren’t hungry now.
However, with their return, Gao Jiaxing had to head back to the military, and Xiao Zhang was already waiting at ho.
"Shitou, Beibei, say goodbye to Grandpa," Xia Xiao said.
"Goodbye, Grandpa."
After Shitou said this, Beibei also said, "Goodbye, Grandpa," and even blew Gao Jiaxing a kiss.
Zheng Xianghong laughed then, "This child, oh, I don’t know who she learned that move from."
"Take good care of yourself," Gao Jiaxing said as he looked at Xia Xiao.
Xia Xiao straightened Gao Jiaxing’s collar and nodded, "You too, call as soon as there’s anything."
Gao Jiaxing smiled, gave Xia Xiao a light kiss on the cheek, and then got into the car, which Xiao Zhang slowly drove away from the Gao family ho.
Suddenly, a loud cry erupted—it was Xiao Shu, who, seeing Gao Jiaxing leaving in the car, began crying loudly.
Zheng Xianghong hurried to console Xiao Shu.
Xia Xiao planned to make a trip to the company. With Zheng Mingzhu managing the company for her, Xia Xiao was quite at ease. Xiao i had settled down in Harbor, where Xia Xiao had entrusted her with the business.
Moreover, Xiao i had fulfilled her wish last year by having a son, satisfying The Fangs’ own wishes.
About to leave, Xia Xiao was joined by Shitou, who insisted, "Aren’t you willing to stay at ho and play with Beibei and Xiao Shu?"
Shitou wasn’t willing and clung to Xia Xiao’s leg, refusing to let go.
With no choice, Xia Xiao brought Shitou along. As the car set out, both Beibei and Xiao Shu cried, audible from a distance.
"What do you want to do in the future?" Xia Xiao asked.
"Do you want to be a doctor?" Xia Xiao was stunned; it was sothing she hadn’t expected. But then she rembered Li Min was a military doctor, so that path for Shitou could work.
"That’s a thought," Shitou nodded, "Graduate with a master’s degree at fifteen, study abroad, and get dual doctorates by twenty."
Xia Xiao’s jaw nearly dropped, "You’re planning to lead a legendary life, huh?"
"Why shouldn’t I?" Shitou countered.
Xia Xiao was montarily speechless. Well, why not? Shitou couldn’t be considered an ordinary person.
There are prodigies in the world after all, child college graduates exist, but Shitou was on track to surpass what takes others decades by the age of twenty.
"What about after you turn twenty?" Xia Xiao couldn’t help but ask more, eager to know all of Shitou’s internal life plans.
Others’ plans might just be plans, not necessarily achievable, but Xia Xiao knew Shitou was capable.
"Return for military service."
At this, Xia Xiao was taken aback, "Do you want to beco a military doctor?"
"No, a soldier," Shitou said seriously.
Xia Xiao was puzzled, "What kind of soldier do you wish to be?"
"Like Grandpa and Dad, a special forces soldier," Shitou responded.
Xia Xiao didn’t say much after that. If Shitou wanted to beco a legend, then she would just watch it happen in her lifeti.
"Think carefully before you act; understand the tis and act accordingly; the world isn’t so simple," Xia Xiao finally advised.
Shitou nodded, "I’ll be careful."
Xia Xiao didn’t say more; she needed ti to process Shitou’s words. After the initial shock, Xia Xiao found her calm.
