After The Divorce, My Dad Was Abused and Cried - Chapter 24

“There’s no conflict between the two things.” Xi Peijue assumed Jian Xiaozhan was referring to Liu Yinyin.

“I want a daddy, because I want someone to support my mommy.”

“If you want to keep the son and leave the mother, then there’s no need to discuss this!” Jian Xiaozhan decisively retracted his number plate .

Seeing Jian Xiaozhan like this, Xi Peijue moved his lips, as if about to say something.

But then, thinking that at his age, he probably couldn’t grasp anything too complex,

he swallowed his words.

“We’ll talk about this later. If you ever need a daddy, you can come to me.” Xi Peijue rubbed Jian Xiaozhan’s head.

His hands were large, much larger than Mommy’s.

And… much stronger…

Sitting next to him, she felt safe and secure.

Too bad he only wanted a son, not a wife.

I was destined to never be his daddy!

A flicker of disappointment crossed Jian Xiaozhan’s eyes.

…

This parent-child practice activity was a joint effort of several schools.

Xi Peijue didn’t like crowded, noisy environments.

So, when they set out, he didn’t join the main group.

Instead, he took Jian Xiaozhan to their destination first.

Unbeknownst to him, Jian Muyu and Jian Tiantian were sitting on the school bus he had just passed.

The first day’s practical activity was a visit to the Science and Technology Museum.

Liu Yinyin had little interest in such an occasion.

If Xi Peijue hadn’t been there, she would have gone back to the hotel to rest.

But that little bastard was surprisingly interested.

The Science and Technology Museum’s guide was explaining some of the museum’s more fun interactive attractions to the children.

“We’re looking at Seven Stars Against Yachts. The computer inside uses the latest algorithms and can play different types of chess with seven people simultaneously.”

“So far, no one has ever beaten it. If you’re interested, you can give it a try.”

“You can choose the difficulty level.”

As soon as the guide finished speaking, the children rushed in.

At first, they were all excited, but after a few minutes, they all retreated in dejection.

Gradually, everyone lost interest in the machine.

After all, no one likes to keep losing.

Jian Xiaozhan, however, remained fascinated by the machine before him.

“Want to play?” Xi Peijue glanced down at Jian Xiaozhan.

Jian Xiaozhan nodded.

He had played chess with computers before,

but that was one-on-one. He wanted to try many-on-many.

But seven different types seemed a bit too many.

“I’ll play with you,” Xi Peijue said gravely, as if seeing through Jian Xiaozhan’s thoughts.

“Do you know how to play chess?” Jian Xiaozhan asked, looking up.

“A little bit,” Xi Peijue said softly.

“Okay, then how do we divide it?” Seven pieces are uneven.

“I’m older than you, I’ll take four and you three,” Xi Peijue said.

“Can you do it? If not, I’ll take four,” Jian Xiaozhan asked seriously.

“Wouldn’t it be easier to tell if you can just try?” A glint flashed in Xi Peijue’s eyes.

“Then you can call me when you need help.” Seeing Xi Peijue’s insistence, Jian Xiaozhan didn’t say anything more.

Adults always have some strange sense of pride.

He understood.

“Okay.” Hearing Jian Xiaozhan’s words, Xi Peijue’s eyes softened a little.

Then the two stepped forward.

According to the previous distribution, 4:3.

After the start, Jian Xiaozhan’s expression became serious.

He played very quickly, almost immediately after the robot arm placed the piece.

And he controlled three chessboards alone, without a trace of panic.

Xi Peijue, on the other side, was much more calm than him.

Gradually, their actions attracted other tourists.

“Oh my god, they played seven games against each other?”

“And this kid only looks five or six, right?”

“Don’t you think his dad is handsome?”

“So what if he’s handsome? He already has a child.”

“But this kid is so adorable. It makes me even more determined to find a handsome husband in the future, so that I can have a lovely child.” “

It’s just grandstanding. As an adult, instead of teaching your child properly, you’re just pretending here. You’re really not worthy of being a father.”

However, a hint of discord stole through the otherwise harmonious voices.

Some self-righteous men snorted with disdain.

“I think you’re just jealous because he’s more handsome and smarter than you.”

“Huh, I’m jealous of him? It’s just a couple of random moves. What’s there to be jealous of?”

“It’s not random moves, and it looks like… they’re about to win.” The knowledgeable man observed the situation and said with some surprise.

“What are you pretending to be? This is a computer, thinking ten moves ahead. How can a human beat it?” The bald man refused to believe it.

However, the next moment, the machine suddenly blew a whistle.

This meant that the machine lost.

“Oh my God, it really won!” The crowd watching exclaimed.

Jian Xiaozhan looked up at the opposite side.

Xi Peijue had already won a game.

Feeling Jian Xiaozhan’s gaze, Xi Peijue raised his eyebrows.

“It seems that I don’t need your help.”

Jian Xiaozhan: “…”

Adults are so hypocritical!

Their words can’t be taken seriously.

Obviously, he is proficient in the skills, but he lied to him that he only knows a little bit.

Jian Xiaozhan immediately became serious and the speed of his moves became faster and faster.

But a moment later, another whistle sounded.

Jian Xiaozhan won!

“Ahhh, this kid won, he actually beat the computer!” The girls watching nearby could no longer contain their overflowing maternal instincts.

Xi Peijue seemed to have noticed the change in Jian Xiaozhan’s mood.

The corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

The kid was quite competitive.

He then sped up the pace of his moves, as if accepting the challenge from Jian Xiaozhan.

After Xi Peijue won all the games, Jian Xiaozhan was still playing the last game.

However, he was not affected by Xi Peijue’s victory, and just responded calmly.

After a while, the whistle sounded again.

Jian Xiaozhan won.

“Well played.” Xi Peijue next to him praised in agreement.

“But I lost to you.” Jian Xiaozhan frowned.

“Why, you still want to beat me?”

“Yes!”

Xi Peijue smiled lightly, the little guy was very ambitious.

“Then you have to practice hard again.” Xi Peijue patted Jian Xiaozhan’s head.

“I will, I will definitely beat you next time!” Jian Xiaozhan’s eyes were fixed.

“I’ll wait.” Xi Peijue opened his thin lips slightly.

“…”
