Chapter 2
Upon hearing such absurd reasoning, Fu Xiaoxin was infuriated to the point of smoke coming out of her seven orifices. In front of a large crowd, she subjected Fu Luo to domestic violence. Fu Luo sat there like a mountain, not dodging or evading, allowing her mother to strike her as if the other party were merely dusting her off. At the same time, she helplessly said: "Mom, please stop causing me trouble."
Teacher Robin maintained a stern expression, striving to prevent any signs of emotional breakdown.
Fu helped Fu Xiaoxin at the threshold of the door, then opened the glass door of the restaurant, stepped aside, gestured with a hand to indicate "please," and said in a low and humble voice: "I respectfully send off the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager enjoy eternal peace and prosperity"
At that time, he was not yet called the fashionable name "Robin"; he was known as Luo Xiaobo. He had a delicate appearance, resembling a young lady, and coupled with his gentle personality, he was not fond of speaking. He paid great attention to his appearance and had an unusual interest in certain skincare products. His every gesture naturally exuded a certain effeminacy. One can imagine that in a military-industrial institution dominated by rough men, he had little future aside from picking up soap.
Fu Luo sincerely replied: "It's troublesome to be bald; once it grows a bit, I have to shave it off again"
At that time, Fu Xiaoxin happened to have a relative who was quite well-connected and had opened a small dynamic photography studio. She leveraged this relationship to get Luo Xiaobo into the company, and thereafter continued to seek assistance for him, which ultimately led to the present success of Teacher Robin
Luo Xiaobo is a useless individual who even needs to hire someone to repair the "Internet of Things system" at home. He struggles to replace the chip in the simplest household robot, a task that even middle school students have learned in their extracurricular activities. Whether it is choosing a major in university or entering a military factory, he has truly entered the wrong field.
Although Teacher Robin is busy nowadays, he is grateful and has never lost contact with Fu Xiaoxin, and his address has changed from "Teacher" to "Elder Sister".
He endured hardships at the research institute for more than two years, to the point of nearly succumbing to depression. Finally, he made the resolute decision to take this unconventional path. He submitted his resignation to his unit, intending to become an apprentice at a photography studio
Fu Luo had no choice but to lower her head in order to accommodate her short mother's way of handling things, while also casually reminding her, "Be careful not to twist your ankle."
Just as Fu Luo was about to follow, a man walked in directly opposite him. He appeared to be in his thirties, tall and slender, with handsome features that conformed well to aesthetic standards. However, there was a wrinkle in the middle of his brow that was inconsistent with his age, casting an inexplicable shadow of gloom over his face
In the fashion circles that Xiao Zhu is exposed to, young girls go to great lengths to maintain their figures, even to the extent of secretly visiting unlicensed clinics to undergo illegal genetic modification surgeries—blocking the body's metabolism and absorption of fat. Ultimately, her endocrine system became severely disrupted, leading to vitamin D absorption disorders, bones that would fracture upon impact, multiple organ failures, and the cause of death was so complex that the forensic experts could not identify a single "culprit".
Fu Luo nodded apologetically to the young man who made way for her, then quickly caught up with her mother: "Is it coming, round?"
And Teacher Robin and his unusually peculiar assistant once again understood what it means to be a "heroic character"
Robin looked at Fu Xiaoxin and gave her another hard slap on Fu Luo's head: "So you want to cut my hair again, huh? How many times have I told you! Even rodents wear down their teeth less frequently than you cut my hair. Do you have a grudge against those two strands? Why don't you just shave it all off?"
He is filled with confusion about himself and his entire life; the seemingly glamorous life at the research institute is, for him, a heavy burden and an unspeakable pain. Every time he thinks about having to live like this for the rest of his life, he is in such agony that he wishes he had never been born.
No, the rice bucket is still a child, you are overestimating it, let it be
All of his work skills rely solely on rote memorization and recitation. Whenever he needs to conduct experiments, he inevitably becomes so anxious the night before that he cannot sleep well. Even Fu Xiaoxin has to admit that her incompetent student is not suited for the research institute, and it is unclear whether he is conducting research or if research is conducting him
Fu Luo's mother, Fu Xiaoxin, is an engineer working at a large national military manufacturing institution. At that time, Teacher Robin, who is now quite well-known, was just an obscure engineering graduate. After completing his internship in a rather unremarkable manner, he became an apprentice to Engineer Fu.
The Empress Dowager let out a heavy "humph" and strutted out with an air of superiority, taking her steps in a grand manner.
At that time, the people around were all very shocked, unanimously believing that Luo Xiaobo was seriously ill and had taken the wrong medicine. Fu Xiaoxin visited him several times to persuade him, but later found that this fellow was as stubborn as a turtle on a scale, resolutely determined, and had no choice but to give up.
Luo Xiaobo actually has no desire to be any kind of administrative officer; he is simply unambitious and wishes to manage styling at a dynamic photography studio.
This meal harmoniously concluded with the nostalgic conversation between Fu Xiaoxin and Teacher Robin, intermittently interspersed with Fu Gong's relentless personal attacks on his biological daughter
Fu Luo's father is said to have come from a military academy, but it is unclear what exactly he did. In any case, he is quite different from the traditional image of a soldier; he is somewhat slender and a bit reserved. Robin met him once when he was young and remembers him as being quite polite, though not very warm.
Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost? Eating one pot and defecating on the kang!
This time, Robin stood up with a reserved yet solemn demeanor to face the newcomer: "Colonel Yang."
However, on one hand, Fu Gong is very busy, and Teacher Robin is also very busy. On the other hand, after Fu Xiaoxin and Fu Luo's father Wang Yi got divorced, she changed her daughter's surname and has not remarried. For Robin, although she was previously referred to as "teacher" and later as "older sister," there is no real blood relationship. Robin occasionally pays a visit, but mostly sits for a while and then leaves, not staying long.
Fu Luo resembled a slave oppressed in a bygone era, paving the way for her mother, carrying bags, holding coats... and enduring the occasional slap that could come out of nowhere at any moment.
On the phone, Robin didn't have the chance to clarify whether Fu Luo was round or flat before his elder sister, Engineer Fu, decisively declared like a bandit: "Alright! As long as you are willing to accept this troublesome niece of yours, I will tie her up and send her over to you right away!"
In front of this beautiful woman, who felt guilty after eating only half a bowl of salad, empty plates were produced at an incredible speed, one after another. The plate collector, known as "Big Iron Head," ran over here time and again, the bearings unable to bear the load, emitting a pitiful creaking sound. On one occasion, he ran too fast and bumped into the table leg, landing on his backside.
Ms. Fu Xiaoxin's gaze fell upon Robin's young and beautiful assistant, Xiao Zhu. Seeing that the young girl was graceful, charming, and sweetly attractive, she immediately felt an overwhelming sense of envy. Upon glancing at her own offspring, whom she considered a mere creature, she truly experienced what it meant to be worlds apart, and the unpleasant feelings in her heart were beyond description
Most children are unable to discern beauty from ugliness; the chubby ones often appear quite amusing. Teacher Robin never anticipated that the "little chubby girl" who reappeared before him after more than a decade could achieve such an extraordinary and imposing stature.
"When I was pregnant with her, I must have been exposed to some unknown radiation." In the end, Fu Xiaoxin, feeling exhausted, summarized her daughter's entire life in just a few short words
Finally, Ms. Fu Xiaoxin, who had already walked five or six meters away, turned back impatiently and shouted at Fu Luo: "What are you dawdling for? I really think you would make a great doorman, hurry up and come over here!"
Ms. Fu Xiaoxin is nearly eighty years old, which in this era can be considered as having entered middle age. She appears to be a very typical middle-aged woman, neither very overweight nor having maintained an exceptionally good figure. She does not pay much attention to her appearance, yet she is not unattractive to the point of being shocking.
For some reason, Fu Luoduo glanced at him and felt that he looked somewhat familiar
Within ten minutes, she resolved to have double portions of appetizers, drank a bowl of soup, gnawed on two pieces of the restaurant's unlimited lunch bread, tore apart half a chicken, and then finished an entire steak, three stacks of fries, one meat and one vegetable salad, and four pieces of dessert. Finally, Fu Luoxing could no longer bear to watch and slapped Fu Luo on the back.
As for Student Fu, when it comes to eating, it is as if a autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves, completely focused and highly efficient
Teacher Robin's doubts bubbled up like small bubbles in a swamp, gurgling as they surfaced. He thought to himself: "What on earth has that irresponsible mother of Fu Xiaoxin fed this child to raise her?"
The man at the entrance of the restaurant turned his head at the sound, glanced at the backs of the mother and daughter, and seemed to recall something. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a fleeting smile. However, as the smile faded, the gloom in his expression seemed to deepen. He walked straight towards Teacher Robin's table: "Mr. Robin."
Two individuals, one intending to exit and the other to enter, coincidentally halted their steps, each gesturing for the other to proceed first
Of course, considering the physical and mental well-being of others, the worker swallowed the latter half of the sentence.
Most people do not dare to be so reckless, yet dieting has been a timeless pursuit since "King Chu loved a slender waist"
useless person
Robin made an effort to straighten the bow tie on his tongue and stammered, "... ... Don't, don't be polite, just let the child eat enough, don't let them go hungry"
Fu Luo glanced at her with a troubled expression, obediently set down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and sat up straight.
With the delivery approaching, Teacher Robin finally understood the reason behind her tone of "goods sold, no returns or exchanges"
His peers found it exhausting to deal with his character, and their relationships with him were lukewarm. The seniors also looked down upon this young man's behavior. Only Fu Xiaoxin, who had probably just given birth and was experiencing an excess of maternal instincts due to hormonal changes, took great care of him.
After Fu Xiaoxin finished her meal, she took Fu Luo and left. However, Teacher Robin called the waiter to clear the table and ordered another drink, appearing to be waiting for someone else.
I am entrusting this matter to you. If she does anything wrong, do not hold back; if she needs to be punished, then punish her. After all, you have seen it yourself; this person is tough and resilient, and an ordinary person cannot defeat her.
The connection between Robin and the Fu family dates back to over twenty years ago
It is approximately not very round, because Ms. Fu Xiaoxin's response was to tiptoe and tap her on the back of the head
What kind of genetic mutation could produce such a girl from a couple like this?
As for Fu Luo, she went to boarding school in middle school, so after she grew a little older, Robin had not seen her, and her impression of her remained that of the chubby little girl from over a decade ago
When Fu Xiaoxin arrived, the large iron-headed robots were almost ready to serve the dishes, and as Fu Luo began to use the knife and fork, Robin and Xiao Zhu were once again astonished.
Robin : `` ... ... ''
