Latiao gave his lecture while paying scrupulous attention to detail. It sounded like the words of an aged father, despite his appearance of a little kid.
The others felt an urge to burst out laughing at the strange sight.
But… he was saying that to Xie Xize! The rest had no idea how they should be managing their expressions.
Where did this kid even e from? To their surprise, Professor Xie was actually taking his nonsense seriously! He did not seem angry at all!
Xie Xize did not budge. Latiao rolled his eyes when he saw how slow Xie Xize was in his reactions.
Why did his cheapskate dad never learn?
“Why do I feel like you’re not as smart as the others say?”
Xie Xize lowered his head, “You know me?” He was observing Latiao carefully.
The kid felt special to him. He could not explain it. It was strange.
Xie Xize had nieces and nephews too, but he never carried them in his arms. He was not that interested in kids.
However, the little kid in front of him was giving him… a sense of joy. He felt at ease just looking at him.
Latiao nodded, “I saw you on the television. My mother even asked me if I like you!”
“So what did you say? Do you like me?”
Xie Xize did not understand. Why was he wasting his time on the kid when his schedule was so tight?
Latiao raised his head and said proudly, “That’s what I told my mom. You’re not my dad, why should I like you?”
He waved his hand again after finishing the sentence, “Man, why are you so stupid? You are making me so worried. I’m really disappointed in you.”
Latiao decisively hugged Xie Xize’s leg. He grabbed Xie Xize’s pants and began climbing up.
“Hurry up, I won’t care anymore if I get mad.”
Xie Xize did not move. Everyone was holding their breath. They were scared that the kid might be flung to the ground in the next second.
They knew how much Professor Xie hated someone else touching him!
Xie Xize’s eyes did flicker coldly under the thin glasses. He frowned as he lowered his head and stared at the little kid.
Xie Xize looked at Latiao with a grim face for a while, before leaning forward to pick him up.
The others thought, Oh my, is he finally going to throw him on the ground? Is he really doing it? He’s just a kid…
The man and the kid were finally at the same height.
Xie Xize was stunned when his gaze met Latiao’s eyes.
Latiao was just too adorable. Smooth hair, round and bright eyes, and chubby face; he slanted his head and grinned at Xie Xize.
Xie Xize felt like something had collided with his heart when he saw the grin.
When he came to his senses, he was already carrying Latiao in his arms.
