Genius Club
Chapter 1136 - 27 Supplementary Ticket_4

Xu Yiyi raised her head in confusion:

"You know my father?"

Lin Xian nodded:

"You might not believe it, but I indeed know him. Later, when we meet The Godfather, I’ll have him vouch for me. I come from a very distant past... from the same era as your father."

"Moreover, your father was my teacher. I’ve seen you lying on the hospital bed, and it was also I who put you into the Hibernation Pod after your father passed away."

"Really? For real?"

Xu Yiyi smirked dismissively:

"Are you joking, Lin Xian? That’s not funny at all."

Under Lee Ningning’s curious gaze, Lin Xian told Xu Yiyi the whole story in detail.

Her amniotic fluid embolism that claimed her mother’s life, her father who lived solely for her, falling from a slide and becoming brain-dead, her father inventing the Hibernation Pod for her, only to be later murdered...

Xu Yiyi was dumbfounded:

"Are you saying... that the Hibernation Pod is something my father invented?"

"You could say that."

Lin Xian said:

"Your father might not have been a great scientist like The Godfather, or a wise genius like Chen Heping, but his love for you is comparable to that of any other father in the world."

However.

Xu Yiyi just smiled gently and shook her head:

"Lin Xian, whether what you’re saying is true or false, I’m unfeeling towards it all... It’s such a pity, I have no real sense, no emotional fluctuations. When I woke up, I had nothing with me, no Memory Notebook or recordings, and my mind was completely blank. Now, when you tell me all this, it feels like I am listening to someone else’s story, with no resonance at all."

Lin Xian patted Xu Yiyi’s head with a slight smile:

"Indeed, just consider it a story to listen to, don’t take it to heart."

He had never intended to impose these emotions upon Xu Yiyi, especially since Professor Xu Yun had wished for Yiyi to forget everything and start anew. Lin Xian decided to share these stories as he noticed that Xu Yiyi seemed a tad forlorn when mentioning her parents.

But...

The amnesia side effect of hibernation indeed proves to be a formidable enemy of humanity.

Amnesia robs us of so much.

Emotions,

Knowledge,

Memories,

And even life itself.

No wonder Emperor Gao Wen’s most recent breakthrough was the Neural Electrocution Helmet, which completely resolves the issue of amnesia post-hibernation.

If this invention materializes...

It will certainly be remembered throughout the ages, benefiting generations to come.

Smack!

Xu Yiyi slapped away Lin Xian’s hand from her head:

"How audacious! A little brother should act like a little brother! Don’t be rude!"

"Alright, alright."

Lin Xian responded with a helpless smile.

Lee Ningning had been silently listening to Lin Xian’s story. She noticed the tender gaze and sincerity in his eyes, which didn’t seem to be that of a liar.

Moreover, she could clearly feel that this man had a different kind of emotion towards both her and Xu Yiyi.

Very familiar, very intimate, very nurturing.

As if he really considered the two of them his daughters.

"Do you have a daughter?"

Her instincts were sharp as she inquired.

"I do."

Lin Xian said with a smile:

"It’s precisely because I have a daughter that I deeply sympathize with what you both are going through."

"Ah?"

Xu Yiyi hopped down from the pile of old tires, sizing up Lin Xian in disbelief:

"You’re married and have a daughter already? How old is she?"

"Just one month." answered Lin Xian.

Lee Ningning let out an "Oh":

"Just a month old? Isn’t that the most difficult time? She must cry and fuss a lot."

"Not at all"

Xu Yiyi countered:

"A month-old baby is actually the easiest to care for. When I was punished to volunteer in Donghai City, I’ve been to an orphanage. Babies one month old mostly sleep once they’re fed, cry when they’re hungry, and after feeding, they sleep. They can sleep for 20 hours a day, it is actually the age when they’re easiest to take care of."

"No, no, no."

Lin Xian quickly waved his hands:

"You both got it wrong, when I said ’just one month’, I didn’t mean one month old, I meant just one month pregnant."

"..." "..."

Xu Yiyi and Lee Ningning narrowed their eyes, looking at Lin Xian as if he were a fool:

"Who talks like that?" "You’re really meticulous, aren’t you!"

Suddenly.

Xu Yiyi blinked her eyes, catching the discrepancy, and looked at Lin Xian with confusion:

"That doesn’t add up! If it’s just one month into the pregnancy, how do you know it’s a daughter?"

She cocked her head, almost cross-examining:

"What if... it’s a son?"
