"What is this?"

Geng Lele took it. Although it looked like a lighter, it wasn’t one. Instead, it resembled a collection of metal strips and blocks.

Could it be a Luban Lock? I stopped playing with those things in kindergarten.

Cui Qingyuan said, "Place it on the table and knock on it twice with your knuckles."

Upon hearing this, Geng Lele promptly placed it on the table.

With a tap of her knuckles, the mundane cube flashed with light. Then, the variously sized metal strips on top twisted and turned, transforming into the shape of arms and legs.

Quickly, the cube transformed into a robot that looked a bit dopey.

It even had a small monitor on its head, across which scrolled the words "Hello."

After the greeting scrolled by, the robot began to march in place. Once done, it circled its arms in front of its chest, took a step forward with its left leg, and then raised its arms high.

Everyone was stunned. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

This... isn’t this the stretching exercise from the eighth set of broadcast calisthenics?

Filled with surprise, Geng Lele looked at the little robot, then turned to Cui Qingyuan and said, "Teacher, I want to learn this!"

"Then you’ll have to work hard. Making this little robot involves electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, programming, and about a dozen other subjects. It’s quite challenging."

Desire for knowledge was written all over Geng Lele’s face. "I’m not afraid of challenges... but I need to discuss it with my mom and dad, as well as my grandparents, since this is kind of a big deal in our family."

Both her parents worked in research institutes. Her grandfather was a nationally renowned calligrapher, while her grandmother, though a housewife, was also the leader of the local square dance group.

To the Geng family, whether she attended Tsinghua University or Beijing University wasn’t really important.

After all, they didn’t rely on their daughter to support the family; her choices were based on her interests.

Cui Qingyuan said, "Okay, add me on WeChat. When your family has time, I’ll invite them for a meal. It’s part of the special recruitment process, sort of a home visit."

He wasn’t worried about recruiting the wrong student, as this young lady had already rejected Tsinghua University once.

Without a certain level of ability, who would turn down those pesky little devils from the admissions office?

Cui Qingyuan tapped the little robot’s head twice. The robot immediately stopped exercising, slowly retracted its head and mechanical arms, and turned back into its unremarkable lighter shape.

Everyone watched, filled with longing, each wishing for a similar robot.

"Lele, study hard at Tsinghua University, okay? I’m counting on you to make me a robot for my birthday gift!"

"Me too, me too! This adorably clumsy little guy is just so lovable."

"If it were bigger, that would be even better. I could raise it like a son."

"When the time comes, make my robot do square dance instead of broadcast calisthenics. That way, I won’t be embarrassed about not learning it after I retire, and the other seniors won’t look down on me."

"..."

Geng Lele collected the small cube and said to Cui Qingyuan, "Teacher, these sisters here have been really nice to me. Do you have more of these little robots? Maybe eight or ten more, one for each of them, so nobody can accuse us of being stingy."

Cui Qingyuan was flabbergasted. Fleecing her teacher right after they’d met? Wasn’t that a bit much?

He smiled gently. "I think gifts are more meaningful when they’re handmade. And given your intellect, you should be able to learn pretty quickly. Go for it! I believe in you!"

Today was truly a happy day. Not only had he enjoyed the much-anticipated Four Happiness Roasted Glutinous Rice, but he had also discovered a genius student. It was worth celebrating with some vintage wine.

Thinking this, he looked at Shu Yun and asked, "Is there any of the vintage liquor Manager Yan left last night still around?"

"Yes, Professor Cui. I’ll go get it for you right away."

Everyone usually treated Geng Lele like a younger sister. Now that her teacher wanted a drink, there were no second thoughts. Shu Yun quickly brought over the more-than-half-full bottle of Western liquor Manager Yan had left the previous day.

Cui Qingyuan returned to his booth and sat down. He poured a glass of liquor, then picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the delicious Four Happiness Roasted Glutinous Rice, and sipped a bit of the vintage drink.

So satisfying!

「At seven-thirty」

Lin Xu said goodbye to everyone, picked up Dundun, and, along with Shen Baobao—who had packed a heap of delicious food—left the restaurant to drive to the West Fourth Ring.

Arriving at the villa, he parked the car in the underground garage on level B2. As he took the elevator upstairs, Han Shuzhen, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately said, "Where’s the food you packed? Bring it out."

Shen Baobao was taken aback for a moment.

What’s going on? Is Dad fessing up without being pressed?

She glanced at the elder Shen, who was playing a tile-matching game and pretending to be calm, then pointed downward. "It’s in the car on B2... Mom, how did you know I brought food back? Did Dad tell you?"

Shen Guofu instantly heaved a long sigh. Silly girl, spilling the beans the moment someone bluffs you! Can’t you see I’m almost blinking my eyes out trying to signal you?

Han Shuzhen huffed. "Your dad didn’t say anything, but he’s been noticeably excited tonight. He even deliberately ate less, clearly making room for other food..."

Since his mother-in-law was in on it, Lin Xu put down Dundun and said, "Go play with your grandma. I’ll go get the food. Mom, Dad, you should eat while it’s warm. The Four Happiness Roasted Glutinous Rice tastes pretty good, better than I expected."

After all, having been fried and then stewed, it couldn’t taste bad. It’s just that some people aren’t used to the sweet-salty flavor, and many cook it improperly, making Four Happiness Roasted Glutinous Rice a controversial delicacy.

By the time he came back up carrying a large package of food, Shen Guofu had eagerly cleared the dried fruit platter and fruit basket from the coffee table to make space.
