Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 197 - 196: Two National Treasures Fight Over My Son!
"Let go!"
"I won’t let go! This child belongs to me!"
In the main hall, two old men with a combined age nearing one hundred and fifty each held onto one of Gu An’s legs, like they were fighting over the last cabbage at the market.
Gu An was suspended in mid-air, his little face tense and tight.
Gu Yanshen couldn’t stand it anymore.
He took a step forward, releasing the commanding presence of a soldier.
"Stop it!"
The two old men simultaneously turned their heads to glare at him.
Professor Wang huffed and puffed, "None of your business!"
Professor Liu was even more direct, tapping his cane against the ground and pointing it at Gu Yanshen’s nose.
"You brutish soldier playing with guns every day, what do you know about the future of national science!"
Gu Yanshen: "..."
He felt a surge of frustration stuck in his chest.
As the dignified regiment commander, it was the first time he’d been scolded right in the face without the ability to retort.
Jiang Zhou shrank his neck and quietly took two steps back.
This scene was too frightening.
The two old professors continued their tug of war.
"He must come with me to calculate ballistics!"
"Nonsense! He should come with me to develop a new type of seeder!"
Gu An was getting a bit annoyed from being swung around.
His eyes like black grapes glanced at Professor Wang on the left, then over at Professor Liu on the right.
The miniature screwdriver in his hand moved.
Without warning.
He raised his small hand and with the tail end of the screwdriver, lightly poked at the joint of Professor Wang’s arm that was holding his ankle.
The position was precise.
The force was skillful.
"Ouch!"
Professor Wang felt a tingling in his arm, half of his body going numb.
He let go.
Gu An’s leg instantly gained freedom.
Using the leverage, he pushed off Professor Liu’s hand.
His whole body shot back like a little cannonball, landing steadily in Gu Yanshen’s arms.
The battle was over.
The room fell silent.
Professor Wang was shaking his numbed arm, while Professor Liu stared at his empty hands, both stupefied.
Gu Yanshen, holding his son, was also stunned.
At this moment, Lin Wan Yi came out of the kitchen carrying two enamel mugs.
She didn’t look at the two professors who seemed like defeated roosters.
She placed the mugs on the table with a crisp sound.
"Professors, after running over here, you must be tired. Have some water to moisten your throats."
In the water, she had secretly dripped two drops of Spiritual Spring.
Not for any other reason, just afraid that these two treasures would get too worked up.
Gulp, gulp.
The two old men were probably really thirsty, as they picked up the mugs and drank them down in one go.
The sweet, refreshing water slid down their throats, and the anger in their hearts inexplicably subsided.
Professor Wang wiped his mouth, "Delicious! This water’s not bad!"
Professor Liu nodded, feeling much less agitated.
Lin Wan Yi then went to Gu Yanshen’s side and tidied up Gu An’s ruffled clothes.
She didn’t mention the earlier commotion.
"Having two such esteemed professors take such an interest in our An An is a blessing for him."
Her voice was slow and calm, yet made the two old men perk up their ears.
"But, a child isn’t an object to be fought over or divided."
"He’s still young, can’t even articulate properly. Making him choose between physics or agriculture is too much for him."
Professor Wang got anxious, "Then what do we do? Such a promising talent can’t be wasted!"
Professor Liu nodded in agreement.
Lin Wan Yi smiled.
"I have an idea."
"I have a class at the Agricultural College tomorrow. I can’t just leave the two kids at home."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the eager faces of the two professors.
"I’ll take them to school with me."
"As for you two professors..."
"Whoever is available, whoever wants to teach, can come anytime."
"Whether you can interest him or not, that will depend on your own skills."
At this, Professor Wang and Professor Liu exchanged a glance.
The hostility in their eyes instantly turned into determination.
"Alright!"
Professor Wang slapped his thigh.
"This method is good! Fair competition!"
He glared at Professor Liu.
"Old Liu, I’ll tell you what, tomorrow I’ll bring our Agricultural College’s newly imported microscope! Let him see the micro world of seeds!"
Professor Liu snorted.
"What’s a microscope?"
He patted his chest.
"I’ll go to the lab tomorrow! I’ll bring our model for wind tunnel experiments!"
"Let him see what aerodynamics is all about!"
"You’re misleading him!"
"You’re wasting precious resources!"
The two old men continued bickering as they left.
This time, though, they didn’t come to blows but continued exchanging harsh words, discussing what "secret weapon" to bring tomorrow to captivate the prodigy.
Finally, the room quieted down.
Gu Yanshen set Gu An on the bed and moved to Lin Wan Yi’s side.
He took her hand.
"Tomorrow, I need to return to the National Defense University for a fully enclosed training session for about half a month."
"Alright, be safe." Lin Wan Yi adjusted his collar.
Gu Yanshen’s expression turned more serious.
"Wan Yi, things have been unstable in Beijing recently."
"I’ve received insider information that a group of fugitives from the south might have infiltrated Beijing, and they are very dangerous."
"I’ve already talked to Jiang Zhou, and he’ll arrange for two trustworthy scouts to shadow you discreetly."
"Whenever you go out, make sure they’re with you."
Lin Wan Yi understood the gravity of the situation and nodded.
"I understand."
...
It was late at night.
Gu Yanshen had already left.
Lin Wan Yi was under the lamp organizing the textbooks and notes needed for tomorrow’s class.
The two little ones slept soundly.
Suddenly, a wriggling figure crawled down from the bed.
It was Gu An.
He barefoot silently moved to the desk.
From beneath his small pillow, he retrieved a small roll wrapped in cloth.
Upon opening it, it revealed his custom mini-tools that Jiang Zhou had given him.
Screwdriver, small wrench, everything was there.
He looked at Lin Wan Yi’s backpack.
Then, carefully unzipping it, he slipped the roll of tools into the thickest book, "Introduction to Agriculture."
After doing all this, he silently crawled back into bed and closed his eyes.
As if nothing had ever happened.
...
The next morning.
The sun was shining brightly.
At the gate of Beijing University.
A young woman in a clean white shirt appeared, pushing a uniquely styled stroller to the entrance.
The stroller was double-seated, with two exquisite children sitting side by side.
The boy on the left had a cool demeanor and was playing with a nine-linked ring.
The girl on the right was smiling with her eyebrows arched, curiously examining everything around her.
The security guard at the gate was a retired soldier, his face stern.
He stepped forward to stop Lin Wan Yi.
"Hello, ma’am."
"The school rules prohibit family members and children from entering freely..."
Before he could finish his sentence.
In the stroller, the girl as pretty as a New Year painting suddenly blinked at him.
Gu Ning gave a sweet, toothless grin.
Then, she puckered her pink lips.
Sending an airborne kiss.
"Mwah~"
The guard’s words were stuck in his throat.
He froze on the spot, and the long-tightly held expression on his face slowly, slowly turned red.
