I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

“?” Gu Xi was baffled by the random message from 3A from the xQ site.

What will work? The machine made by Lin?

Gu Xi was just about to ask when she saw that [AAA] had retracted the message.

And never sent another one.

Gu Xi, “……” What was it that this bro felt off today? Was his account hacked or that kids at home had gotten hold of his cellphone?

After a whole minute, [AAA] calmly sent over another message – “goodnight”.

Gu Xi raised her brows when she saw the message and also replied with a “goodnight.”

What she didn’t know was that Sheng Xiuyan, with his phone in hand, was about to go berserk.

He had been discussing the details of Youth Innovation Competition with Gu Xi before messages started to appear in the Tianchuang Competition chatgroup.

With Gu Yanlin’s interruption, he had used the wrong account and responded back to Gu Xi’s suggestion of mini holographic projection on xQ as [AAA]!

He had almost exposed himself!

He had no idea whether Gu Xi had caught on to that or not……

Sheng Xiuyan grumbled to himself.

Sheng Yi, who was reading Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance sitting across from his son on the couch, saw his son with his phone in hand and frowning for a while, then scratched his head and looking like he had a hard time sitting still. Lifting his brows some, there was suspicion in Sheng Yi’s eyes.

That being said, when Sheng Xiuyan looked over at him, Sheng Yi calmly set aside his suspicion and said solemnly, “Sit properly.”

Being criticized by his father, Sheng Xiuyan pouted a bit disgruntledly and said, minorly irritated, “Alright, I will.”

Then he sat up a little straighter.

With his phone in hand, Sheng Xiuyan thought about it for a long while before he finally responded back to Gu Xi on WeChat: [I think we can noodle some more on the holographic projection idea, but we should talk it through some more. We can do that at school tomorrow.]

Sheng Xiuyan finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw the [Okay] from Gu Xi. Welp, that was close. Looked like Gu Xi had not yet noticed that he was [AAA].

Suddenly, a little red dot appeared under Sheng Xiuyan’s WeChat contact list.

Sheng Xiuyan clicked into it and saw a “friend’s request”.

The profile picture was a woman with what looked like the product of plastic surgery from a certain country with a deliberately cute expression.

The memo from the request was: [Hi little big brother, are you looking for online romance~?]

Sheng Xiuyan replied with [You need your head looked at] and declined the request.

As it turned out, the person persisted and replied with another request: [Little big brother, I really like you. If you don’t mind, we can have forever love affair. Of course, you can also say no if you already have a girlfriend.]

“The heck?” Sheng Xiuyan frowned and cussed in a low voice. He did not noticed that Sheng Yi had looked up at him from across.

Sheng Xiuyan’s fingers flew over his phone screen [How dare you tried to scam your own grandfather? Scram! If you dare bother your grandfather again, I will look you up and expose you online. Don’t dare me. You should first be a person before being a scam artist! If you don’t know how, your grandfather can teach you. We can start with how to get to the cop station!]

Sheng Xiuyan felt much better after he had sent over his big blurb.

Even his annoyance from almost exposing himself was gone.

The trashy scam artist dared to try and scam him. Tsk……

Sheng Xiuyan put away his phone and said to Sheng Yi, “I’m heading back to my room.” He then stood up and headed upstairs, feeling good about himself.

Through the whole process, Sheng Xiuyan did not notice that the Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance was nothing but a decoy. There was a phone hiding behind the book.

Looking at the long rejection blurb, Sheng Yi’s face turned down.

He had never thought that the day of being lectured by his son would come.

And he even referred to himself as “grandfather”. What had the world be coming to?

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Sheng Yi got.

Granted, Sheng Xiuyan would never have guessed that the “girl” who was flirting with him and wanted to have an “internet romance” with him was a fake account that Sheng Yi had created just to mess with him.
