Showing Off Their Baby
Under her parents' guidance, Shen Nuo Fei managed to utter a muffled sound, "Mia~mia."
Ou Ye was very excited. "Nofi again, Mommy, Mommy!"
Shen Qi was also very excited. "Mommy, Mommy."
As expected of the daughter of a top student, after several rounds of training, Shen Nuo Fei uttered a clear sound, "Mama."
"That's wonderful, Nophie!" Ou Ye kissed her daughter; her daughter had learned to call her "Mom," a momentous occasion.
"Mommy." Shen Nuo Fei made a historic breakthrough; she learned that the woman in front of her was called Mommy.
Shen Qi picked up his daughter and kissed her, praising her, "Nofi is such a good girl, Mommy and Daddy love you very much."
Shen Nuo Fei snuggled into Shen Qi's arms, rubbing against him incessantly, which made Shen Qi feel happy. Indeed, a daughter is her father's lover from a past life.
Shen Nuo Fei looked at Shen Qi, her big eyes darting around, and she immediately said, "Mama, Mama."
Shen Qi was both amused and exasperated. "I'm not Mommy, I'm Daddy."
"Mommy." Shen Nuo Fei recognized Shen Qi as her mommy, since "mommy" is a universal term.
"Mommy it is, that's enough for Nofi's lessons today. Nofi's mom, isn't it time to feed her?"
You can't be too demanding of a seven-month-old baby. Shen Qi and Ou Ye tried to cram too many words into their daughter in a short time, but she wouldn't remember them all. She learned to say "Mama" today, which shows how smart Shen Nuo Fei is.
With the arrival of spring and the warmer weather, Shen Qi and Ou Ye took Shen Nuo Fei for a stroll in the stroller on the weekend, letting them enjoy the sunshine and the joy of family life.
"Professor Shen, Professor Ou, showing off your baby?" Passing teachers and students greeted Mr. and Mrs. Shen Qi. When they saw the chubby Shen Nuo Fei, they couldn't help but stop and tease the Shen Family's daughter, "Your daughter must be two years old by now, right?"
"More than seven months."
"He's grown this big in just over seven months?"
"Now that the country Prosperity and Strength and the living standards of ordinary people are gradually improving, nutrition is better, and children are developing well."
Shen Qi and his wife pushed the stroller to the mathematics building. Shen Qi said to Shen Nuo Fei in the stroller, "Daughter, this is where mathematics is researched. Mom and Dad both graduated from here."
Shen Nuo Fei's expression remained completely unchanged; she even seemed to want to laugh a little.
"We often talk about math problems at home. Nofi already knows a lot about math, so she's not very interested in the math department," Shen Qi said to Ou Ye.
"She's so young, she doesn't understand math at all," Ou Ye said.
After walking a short distance, Shen Qi and his family of three arrived at the entrance of the old physics building. Shen Qi said to his daughter, "Nofi, this is a paradise for physicists. The 'Nofi' in your name represents the Nobel Prize."
Shen Nuo Fei yawned in the car, showing absolutely no interest in the place.
Shen Qi was puzzled. "This doesn't make sense. Our daughter has no interest in math and physics? Is Nofi a humanities student?"
Ou Ye: "A liberal arts student is a liberal arts student, that's all."
The test was still ongoing. Shen Qi and Ou Ye brought their daughter to the Arts and Humanities Building: "Nofi, the Arts and Humanities Building is where literature and history are studied. Are you interested in this field?"
Shen Nuo Fei was asleep and did not answer.
"Nofi doesn't like science or humanities, so will she become an engineering student? A medical student? An art student? Or a sports student?" Yan University has all kinds of majors, and Shen Qi fully unleashed his imagination.
Ou Ye playfully punched Shen Qi with her little fist. "Alright, that's enough with the kid, let's go home."
Just then, Shen Qi and his family of three happened to pass by the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center. Shen Nuo Fei, who was in the stroller, suddenly opened her eyes; she had woken up.
Shen Qi introduced the place to his daughter, "Nofi, this is where Daddy works. It's called the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center, and it might be renamed the Shen Qi Science Research Center in the future. Daddy is interested in researching anything related to science."
"Giggle, giggle." Shen Nuo Fei laughed uncontrollably, gesturing wildly.
Shen Qi shuddered, suddenly realizing, "This isn't a coincidence! My daughter isn't interested in any single subject; she's interested in science as a whole! Nofi is amazing! Daddy is so happy!"
Shen Nuo Fei laughed until she cramped up, and she called out, "Daddy."
"Haha! Honey, listen, Nofi called me 'Daddy'!" Shen Qi jumped up excitedly. His daughter's sudden "Daddy "Shen Qi with joy. "She's smarter than me. My parents said I didn't learn to say 'Daddy' and 'Mommy' until I was a year and a half old. She's truly surpassed her parents! A brilliant daughter from heaven, a top student for her parents."
"My darling is so smart, Mom is so proud of you." Ou Ye praised her daughter, "Nuofei learned to say 'Mom' yesterday and 'Dad' today. Our daughter has a very strong learning ability."
Shen Nuo Fei looked at Ou Ye and called out, "Mommy."
"Hmm, Nofi is such a good girl." Ou Ye was so happy. In just one day, Nofi was able to call out "Papa" and "Mama" and could subconsciously distinguish between them.
"A child prodigy!" Shen Qi rubbed his hands together with delight.
Every baby is the smartest and cutest little angel in their parents' eyes, and in Shen Qi's eyes, his daughter is just like that.
"Nofi, since you're interested in science, Daddy will take you on a tour of my workplace." Shen Qi picked up his daughter from the stroller and entered the center building with his wife.
The first floor houses offices and meeting rooms. Shen Qi walked towards the Mathematics Room: "Honey, since the new building for our center was completed, you've only been here two or three times, haven't you?"
"I've been here twice," Ou Ye said. She rarely came to her husband's workplace, but Shen Qi often went to the mathematics department where his wife worked.
Upon entering the Mathematics Room, Shen Qi saw people working overtime.
Today is Saturday, a day off, and Li Zhenqiang is working overtime in the Mathematics Room.
Li Zhenqiang stared thoughtfully at the computer screen, occasionally jotting down a few words in his notebook.
Shen Qi exclaimed with admiration, "Zhen Qiang, you're so diligent! You're the only one in the entire Mathematics Room working overtime!"
"Zhen Qiang is very hardworking." Ou Ye hasn't worked overtime for many years; her colleagues in the mathematics department generally don't work overtime.
Li Zhenqiang turned around and glanced at them. "Oh, you two are here to inspect the work? Hey, why are you bringing the child along?"
"Nofi, this is Uncle Li Zhenqiang. When you turned one month old, Uncle Li gave you a lot of toys." Shen Qi introduced Li Zhenqiang to his daughter in his arms.
Li Zhenqiang, who had just been working overtime day and night, immediately became excited upon seeing Shen Qi's adorable daughter. He affectionately teased Shen Nuo Fei, "Little Nuofei, beautiful lady, it's such a pleasure to see you."
Shen Nuo Fei laughed, then habitually bit her finger; she wasn't shy at all.
"Your Shen Nuo Fei is so cute." Li Zhenqiang liked Shen Nuo Fei more and more the more he looked at her. He had a son who was a little over two years old.
Li Zhenqiang was the first person in Shen Qi's undergraduate class to get married and have a child. Shen Qi knew that Li Zhenqiang had a son. "Zhenqiang, your son is quite well-behaved now, isn't he?"
