Actually Huo Qu’s seat was in the front row, very obvious, but he just couldn’t find it. It was almost time that the stewardess started to check the shelf, Huo Qu still hadn’t found his own seat.
And it happened that this group of scientists was all unfamiliar to Huo Qu. When they saw that he was walking up and down in the cabin, they thought Huo Qu the genius was thinking something serious, sighing in their hearts that geniuses were really different from common people, and they all said hello to him.
“Hi, Professor Huo!”
“Professor Huo, it’s really an honor to meet you!”
“Professor Huo, if…I mean if you have some time, can we talk about something about astrophysics?”
…
Huo Qu was a good-mannered young man. So whenever someone talked to him, he would stop to nod as a response.
His face was quite deceptive, comely, and also majestic when he was serious. So everyone who passed by didn’t notice his predicament.
Finally it was Cheng Ya’s father who noticed something ain’t no right. He rushed to him and put him back in his own seat.
Actually he saw everything when his daughter was talking to Huo Qu. He didn’t plan to let his daughter have a relationship so early. But things would be different if that person was Huo Qu.
Huo was young and handsome physicist with a bright future. Besides, he had a kind heart. He was an ideal candidate for his son-in-law. What was more, Huo Qu’s genes could only be seen once in a hundred years. And they would have a baby, maybe it’d be a genius without parallel like Huo Qu!
He had been pampering his imagination all the time, so he didn’t stop his daughter picking up a conversation with Huo. But what he hadn’t expected was Huo Qu showed no interests in his daughter at all!
Cheng Ya’s father peeped at Huo Qu’s charming side face. He then rolled his eyes and decided to make good use of his “first come first served” advantage to pocket this good seedling home!
Since his daughter failed, it’s OK! He would “take him down” in person!
“Eh-hem! Eh-hem!” Ya’s father dry coughed trying to attract Huo Qu’s attention. Pity that Huo Qu was totally focused on his phone and ignored him completely!
Before Huo Qu went out, he had learnt from Huo Rong how to send messages again and again. Now he was texting awkwardly according to the tips he wrote on his notebook.
He was sweating all over fearing that he ain’t got enough time. But the more anxious he was, the more mistakes he made. He sent out a few messages but all with messy code.
“Professor Huo, are you sending a message?” Ya’s father waited on and on and finally could hold it and tried to pick up a talk.
“Hm.” Huo Qu responded, still with his head down. Actually his palms were totally wet with sweats.
It was difficult! It was really difficult to send a message!
“Maybe I can help.” said Ya’s father. After a pause, he dropped his pride and added, “I am an expert on sending messages.”
This sentence successfully attracted Huo Qu’s attention. He immediately turned around and handed his phone Ya’s father seriously, “Sorry to trouble you.”
“No trouble! No trouble!” Ya’s father, who thought he had left a good impression in Huo Qu’s heart, pleasantly took up the phone and promised, “What’s the content? Just read it to me. I type super-fast!”
Huo Qu licked his lips and smiled showing a happy dimple on his left face, “OK.”
“Professor Huo,” Ya’s father tried to cotton up with him while typing, “What do you think of my daughter Ya?”
Huo Qu looked at him blandly, totally didn’t get what he was trying to say.
Ya’s father had also heard a little about Huo Qu, so he knew maybe his question was a little inappropriate and hard for him to comprehend, so he immediately changed another way, “The girl who talked to you is my daughter. What do you think of her?”
Huo Qu, “?”
He still didn’t get what Ya’s father was trying to say.
Huo Qu bit his lips looking quite embarrassed. He racked his brain and finally remembered that his second brother had ever said that when someone brought up his kid before you, actually he wanted you to praise his kid.
On thinking of that, Huo Qu patted on Ya’s father’s shoulder seriously, “Congratulations!”
Ya’s father, “…”
Being choked by this word for quite some time, Ya’s father nearly sent a wrong message. When he accidentally looked into Huo Qu’s anxious eyes, he realized he made a mistake and immediately corrected it.
Ya’s father felt really frustrated now.
He just wants a smart son-in-law. Why is it so hard?
Under the urge of anger, he decided not to hide his real intention anymore. He decided to say it directly!
“Professor Huo, my daughter is studying physics in Hua Univ.. Do you have a girlfriend? What about I introduce her to you?” After a pause, he continued with a tempting tone, “And then you can study together and do experiments together. Isn’t it a good idea?”
“Why do we have to study together?” asked Huo Qu while looking at Ya’s father, confused, “I can do it by myself.”
Ya’s father, “…”
But he kept brainwashing Huo Qu, “A man and a woman would make a job easier.”
“But it’s also easy for me to do experiments myself.” said Huo Qu innocently.
Ya’s father, “…”
Forget it! He decided to give up on this son-in-law-to-be!
It is a proud thing to have a talented son-in-law! But the premise is Huo Qu hasn’t driven him crazy and he is still alive before that!
The old man fell into his seat pressing his chest who suddenly understood why some people were destined to be single for the whole life.
