The strongest brain in the universe

Chapter 371 Sharp Questions (Part 1)

But Zhou Xiuwen still remembered that the other party was not so frank at first.

I don't know if it's because the world in his eyes is too big, and there are too many people and things to consider and shoulder, so the affection and energy he can devote to his family is limited.

The young Zhou Xiuwen used to vaguely feel that the image of his father was a bit misty, as if he was always separated by an invisible veil, so that he couldn't really see him on the other side.

He also asked his mother if his father didn't like their mother and son, otherwise why wouldn't he be by his side like other fathers, take him out to play, and wouldn't touch himself as intimately as others.

Zhou Xiuwen's mother didn't answer at that time, but just hugged him gently in her arms and murmured, saying many things that he didn't understand at the time. Then when he woke up the next day, although he had almost forgotten about it, he would not ask such questions again in the years to come.

This routine lasted for a long time, until one day——

It was supposed to be the day when his father returned from the battle, Zhou Xiuwen was dressed up by his mother very early, and he waited in front of the door for the return of the master of the family. However, what he was waiting for this time was not the tall and majestic general in the past, but a weak and limp "stranger" who seemed to have only his father's face.

Everything changed after that day.

Time passed quickly afterwards, and the young Zhou Xiuwen didn't know how to distinguish between those complicated people and things. He only remembered that after attending a grand ceremony one day, his father was calmly pushed into the capital's Supreme Court. High-level, he completely lost a pair of calves after he came out.

Not long after, Zhou Xiuwen bid farewell to his mother and grandfather and accompanied his father to leave the bustling central star area and arrive at star No. 732.

Zhou Xiuwen's father has been by his side ever since.

Perhaps because of the suffering of life and death, Zhou Yuanjing also became calmer, and began to show love and closeness to his son without hesitation. But Zhou Xiuwen was not so happy, instead he felt bitter involuntarily.

Because the person who started to leave frequently became him. He went to school, Zhou Yuanjing was at home, he went out to study military affairs, and the other party was still at home, and later he stayed at home, and the other party was still waiting for him at home. His father, who was once full of glory and stood at the tip of the empire, can only shrink in a square inch between the sky and the earth.

How should the other party feel in his heart?

So in order not to make the other party feel lonely, and not to bring more trouble to this crumbling home, he rejected his mother's call from the capital again and again, and rarely made friends with outsiders.

This time he brought Jiang Hui and the others to see Zhou Yuanjing, and he was actually a little apprehensive. He was afraid that Zhou Yuanjing would not like these friends of his, and then he would have to choose between his family father and his friends. Even if this ending is affirmative, he will still feel very painful about it.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanjing had such a reaction. It was an attitude that the other party came out in person. At this moment, he appeared in front of the child's friends not as the commander of the empire, but as a father, so he was not afraid of anyone's eyes.

Zhou Xiuwen only felt his chest swell for a while, and the turbulent emotions were churning, hitting his lungs, making him unable to say anything for a while.

"Okay, get up quickly. How do you look like this in front of your friends? These little classmates are Xiaowen's friends. Hello, I am Zhou Yuanjing, the father of this child."

The few people hadn't recovered from the other party's situation, but when they heard Commander Zhou greeting them, they hurriedly returned the salute.

Huan Xian was better, the other party should be used to it, and naturally made a humble military salute.

Then Jiang Hui and Hillman were the same idiots who didn't know how to react, so they had to go back to the same etiquette clumsily.

The other party seemed to be amused by the flustered appearance of these children, a faint smile appeared on his bony face, his cheekbones trembled slightly, showing a bit of gentleness, very similar to Zhou Xiuwen's usual appearance Similar, at a glance, you can tell that this child looks like his father.

"They're all good kids. You don't have to be too nervous, or my kid will blame me for making things difficult for you later on."

Zhou Xiuwen was bored for no reason, and he was not happy about writing. It is impossible for him to think like this, okay? The young man was a little dissatisfied. He didn't know that this was probably a common phrase used by all parents in the world. They always liked to use their own children's little self-willedness in greetings to narrow the distance.

Jiang Hui and the others couldn't help but look at each other, how could this former imperial army leader be so gentle? !

Since the appearance of the other party, the traits shown in every word and deed are capitalized two words - gentle. I can't imagine that the other party used to be such a powerful big man, and there is no feeling of fake face.

They finally knew where Zhou Xiuwen got his good temper.

Of course, a few people didn't think that this was the true face of this legendary figure, after all, it was impossible to license the entire army just by being gentle. Combining his behavior of inviting dinner and welcoming him in person, the other party probably showed Zhou Xiuwen's gentleness in front of them specially for Zhou Xiuwen.

The other party asked the names and ages of several people. But he is different from those high-ranking people Jiang Hui met in the past, he will not deliberately inquire about their situation, and he will stop at the point.

In front of him, Hillman, whose family can be called a wealthy country, seems to be from an ordinary family, Huan Xian, whose identity is a mystery, is just an ordinary young man, and Jiang Hui, who is really an ordinary background, and the above two are also It makes no difference.

Jiang Hui believes that it is absolutely impossible for the other party to not know the background of the friends her son made. Given the identity and status of the other party, their information may have been lying on the desk one by one when they contacted Zhou Xiuwen. This is very realistic and unquestionable.

But when the other party met them, they still behaved as if they were getting to know them for the first time, and came to know them quite seriously.

Yes, the other party was very solemn... Jiang Hui did have such a subtle feeling. As far as the other party is concerned, they couldn't believe it when they asked their names one by one and carefully wrote down their greetings.

It is estimated that many high-ranking people in the empire, not to mention whether they can meet the head of state in person, even if they do, may not be able to have such an interaction with the other party as they do.

Jiang Hui, who was usually calm, was also a little at a loss.

The elder didn't seem to notice the children's restraint, and led them into the west hall himself, but the few people on the way didn't dare to look at them carelessly.

Unlike Jiang Hui's usual long table these days, this unusual dinner uses a round table. Several people with very different identities, statuses, and experiences were seated separately.

This special dinner officially began.
