Nian Xi quickly took out the gift and handed it to her. Then she said earnestly, âThis is a gift from your uncle.â
Xiao Pingguoâs Captain America helmet only revealed a pair of big, puzzled eyes. âWhen did I have an uncle? When did you have a hubby?â
Nian Xi was unhappy when she heard that, âDidnât I tell you before? I had a boyfriend a long time ago. Although Iâm not married yet, him becoming your uncle is something that will happen sooner or later. He just didnât come back because he had some business overseas. This time, heâs finally coming back.â
Xiao Pingguo tilted his head innocently, âDidnât you find an excuse to avoid me because you donât have a boyfriend? Just like how my father always said that he would sell me and said that I was adopted. In fact, I know that adults love to lie to children.â
â...â
Nian Xi and Nian Juntingâs lips twitched speechlessly at the same time.
Nian Xi was quite upset, âXiao Pingguo, thatâs not what you said before. You said that you believed me and that you would wait for your uncle to come back.â
Xiao Pingguo sighed, âMy teacher said that lying too much will make you be convinced eventually. Auntie, donât lie to yourself just because youâre not married. Donât worry, even if you canât get married in your life, Iâll take care of you when youâre old.â
Nian Xi felt helpless. The kids these days were like adults, âItâs not like that. I do have a boyfriend. Iâm not lying. Your uncle is in Beijing now. Heâll come to see me in a few days. Iâll show him to you. If you donât believe me, you can ask your father or your mother.â
Xiao Pingguo raised her head to look at Nian Junting, who nodded.
Xiao Pingguo finally believed her.
Nian Xi held Xiao Pingguoâs hand and walked out. As they walked, she said proudly, âLet me tell you, your uncle isnât an ordinary person. Being handsome isnât important. Whatâs important is that heâs a scientist...â
âReally...â before she could finish, Xiao Pingguo was so happy that he almost jumped up. âIs my uncle that good?â
In the childrenâs world, scientists were magical characters that were seen in books. They were rarely seen in real life. Everyone wanted to become a scientist, but it was as difficult as reaching the sky.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âVery powerful.â Nian Xi nodded. âThe watch on your hand was given to you by your uncle. When he comes back, Iâll let you research something even more powerful for him.â
âThatâs Great.â Xiao Pingguo was extremely excited. âThen can he transform my body and make me a Super Soldier, like Captain America?â
After saying that, he waved his shield.
Nian Xi choked. âUh... your uncle is a physicist and astronomer. Transforming his body isnât something heâs good at.â
Moreover, if he really wanted to, he would be the first to transform a policewoman like her.
âI see...â Xiao Pingguo thought for a moment. âThen... transform me into Iron Man. Can you help me get an armor like Iron Manâs? Donât worry, I wonât hurt humans. Iâll try my best to save them.â
â...â
Nian Xi touched her forehead. âThat kind of superhero only exists in sci-fi movies. Thatâs impossible.â
Xiao Pingguoâs bright eyes immediately dimmed, âThen my uncle isnât that powerful.â
Nian Xi wanted to cry, but no tears came out. No one could do that.
Nian Junting impolitely punched Xiao Pingguoâs helmet, âYou want to be a superhero with your physique? Real superheroes rely on their own physique. Look at Ye Wen and Huo Yuanjia, instead of thinking about all that nonsense.â
