Momo took the book from her hand and gracefully closed it: "There are millions of kinds of love in the world, but romantic love is the most unique among them. Take familial love for instance; my Daddy and Mommy have other children besides me. I have brothers, sisters, and I’m willing to accept them and share paternal and maternal love with them. But romantic love is exclusive; when you love someone, you hope that person belongs only to you. Why does only romantic love have this exclusivity?"
Mr. Yi couldn’t help but say, "Momo, you’re really amazing. I can’t believe you’re only 8 years old."
She sat down on the chair and asked, "How is your relationship with your mom?"
Momo said, "My relationship with Mommy is very good. Our family, we all have good relationships."
Mr. Yi was a bit curious: "Are you generally obedient?"
Momo shook her head: "Not obedient."
Mr. Yi was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time she’d heard a child evaluate themselves this way.
Most kids would say they behave quite well.
Mr. Yi asked, "If you’re not obedient, won’t your mom be upset?"
Momo said, "My Mommy told me from a young age that everyone has their own way of living, and it’s not certain that what people say is always right. Therefore, I should have my own thoughts. My Mommy says to always believe in yourself and not be influenced by others. She taught me from a young age that there are many wrong things in this world, and those wrong things shouldn’t be done. But beyond the wrong things, there is no black and white."
Momo’s independence from a young age is thanks to Lin Qi’s teachings.
She didn’t believe that, as a parent, a child must listen to them.
No matter how young the child is, they will have their own thoughts.
She would attentively listen to Momo’s ideas and then encourage him.
Momo said, "As far back as I can remember, Mommy told me this one thing: she said she too is a first-time mom, and she only hopes to achieve one thing."
Mr. Yi asked, "What is that?"
Momo said, "She hopes that her child, no matter what, will never regret coming into this world."
Mr. Yi was frozen in shock!
She remembered she once argued with her parents and hysterically questioned her mother: "Why did you give birth to me? Did you get my consent before bringing me into this world?"
As the saying goes, every family has its own difficulties.
But from Momo’s words, Mr. Yi could sense that Momo held a high opinion of his mother.
She was curious about what kind of woman raised such a genius son!
Lin Qi finished her script murder game.
Ji Xiuyuan drove her home.
At the building downstairs, Lin Qi got off the car, ready to say goodbye to him.
The car window rolled down, and Ji Xiuyuan pitifully leaned on the car window like a poor little puppy: "Sis, are you just going to leave ?"
Lin Qi said, "What else should I do?"
Ji Xiuyuan said, "Did Momo cook?"
As he spoke, he showed a look of anticipation: "Won’t you invite me for a simple home-cooked meal?"
Ji Xiuyuan had become obsessed with Momo’s cooking.
Ever since he had a chance encounter with Momo’s culinary skills, he’d been thinking about Momo’s meals.
As a big star, due to filming reasons, his meals weren’t that great.
In ordinary people’s eyes, big stars are a high-income group that can eat anything luxurious.
But in reality, Ji Xiuyuan mostly eats boxed meals on set.
Because he has very little time to rest, he usually takes major male roles with tight schedules, leaving only about twenty minutes to eat each meal.
And, as a public figure, he rarely gets the chance to eat out, except for gatherings.
But outside restaurants don’t compare to Momo’s cooking!
With a look of "seeking shelter, seeking nourishment," Lin Qi helplessly said, "Then park your car!"
Ji Xiuyuan cheered and immediately parked the car.
The two went upstairs together, and even before entering the hallway, Lin Qi heard a strange woman’s voice coming from the living room.
"Momo, did you cook all this?"
Momo: "Yes, Mommy said she wanted to eat my cooking today; normally, I don’t cook often."
Upon hearing Momo cooked, Ji Xiuyuan was extremely excited and rushed straight to the dining room!
But when he arrived at the dining room, he saw another woman seated at the table and was briefly stunned.
Lin Qi also entered the dining room. At the table, Huo Tingdong sat at the head, with Han and Momo opposite him, and beside him sat Yi Meng.
Yi Meng immediately stood up, gracefully saying: "This is Momo and Han’s mother, right? Hello, I’m their substitute teacher, my surname is ’Yi’..."
Mid-sentence, she immediately noticed the man standing next to Lin Qi.
But this man wasn’t unfamiliar to her.
Ji Xiuyuan slightly frowned: "Yi Meng?"
Yi Meng was a bit surprised: "What a coincidence."
Huo Tingdong examined the two with his gaze: "You know each other?"
Ji Xiuyuan chuckled: "Yes."
However, he didn’t elaborate much more.
Ji Xiuyuan sat beside Huo Tingdong.
Lin Qi nodded to Yi Meng in greeting and sat opposite her.
For some unknown reason, Yi Meng felt familiar to her.
Like someone she knew well.
As she nearly recalled the name, Ji Xiuyuan suddenly praised from beside her: "Very sumptuous!"
Momo had prepared a feast, and Ji Xiuyuan’s appetite was immediately whetted, looking eagerly towards Huo Tingdong.
Huo Tingdong saw Ji Xiuyuan’s helpless look and calmly said, "Let’s start."
With these words, Ji Xiuyuan pretended to give Momo and Han each a piece of chicken leg, then gave himself one, and began to eat joyously.
Lin Qi and Yi Meng went to the study for a detailed discussion.
The reason Yi Meng stayed so late was mainly to discuss Momo and Han’s skipping grades.
Momo and Han’s academic performance at school was consistently stable.
The teaching quality at Windsor High School is considered excellent, and the pace of learning far exceeds other schools.
But with the current pace of learning, Momo is already far ahead, so the school hopes Momo can skip grades, move to a higher grade, and complete the advanced courses.
Currently, Momo and Han are in second grade, the school hopes Momo can jump directly to fourth grade.
Originally, according to comprehensive assessment, Momo had no problem directly advancing to middle school, but his physical fitness is lacking.
The difference in physical fitness between elementary school and middle school students is significant; Momo is still developing and can’t keep up with middle school PE classes. Therefore, the school suggests Momo jumps to fourth grade.
But Momo is unwilling; he wants to be in the same class as Han. Hence, Yi Meng represented the school to speak with Lin Qi, hoping she would agree to the two children skipping grades.
