Chapter 167: Chapter 167: A Conversation Between the Big and Small Man
After the surprise, Lin Mubai took the initiative to step forward and greeted the other party in Chinese: "Hello, I am Lin Mubai."
Lin Mubai had minored in psychology during college, and he understood that children of that age don’t like being treated as kids, so he spoke in an adult tone.
His approach apparently worked, as the young face in front of him showed less of the obvious defensiveness from before, though still with a disapproving air: "Let’s go quickly, are you reluctant to leave these two beauties?"
"No, let’s go."
Until the two silhouettes, one big and one small, disappeared from everyone’s sight, there came a buzz of shocked discussions from behind.
"Eastern people’s appearance is really ageless, they look so young, yet their sons are already so big."
"Uh-huh, next time we meet Eastern people, we must look carefully; otherwise, we might be fooled by them."
"Yes, yes."
...
As soon as the big and small figures left the airport hall, Lin Mubai curiously asked: "Is your luggage checked-in?"
The little guy only had a backpack on his back.
"I don’t have any luggage. I had all my luggage air-shipped back home before coming to France, and I’m only staying here for less than two days, why bring so much luggage?" The little guy replied indifferently.
"Alright." Lin Mubai instantly felt a bit embarrassed, momentarily unsure of how to continue the conversation. After all, over the years, his interactions with teenagers had been few and far between.
Just at that moment, An Jiayou continued and suggested: "Let’s head downtown, find a place to sit down and chat. I have some things I want to ask you, and after that, we can go find An Nan."
Without waiting for the other party to question further, he continued: "An Nan is currently in the city."
With these words, Lin Mubai’s curiosity grew: "How do you know?" This little guy had just arrived in France, and even he didn’t know where An Nan was at that moment.
An Jiayou didn’t immediately answer his question, instead, he pulled out his phone and his fingers quickly swiped across the screen. Soon, he turned the phone around and handed it to Lin Mubai: "This is a small app I developed, and An Nan has it on her phone too. No matter where we are, we can see each other’s location by opening the app."
An Jiayou explained clearly, and Lin Mubai heard it clearly. Instantly, he was shocked at heart, looking again at the boy in front of him with surprise. Such a young kid with such abilities, truly astonishing.
Amid Lin Mubai’s astonishment, the little guy had already hailed a taxi and got in: "Aren’t you going to get in?"
Sitting in the car, Lin Mubai’s eyes remained fixed on the little guy beside him.
An Jiayou, though mature for his age, was still a child, and being stared at like that made him uncomfortable: "Can you not look at me like that, please?"
"Sure, then can you install the app you designed for me?" That way, he could know where his woman was at any time.
Seemingly unsurprised by such a request, An Jiayou calmly replied: "Sure, once you become my real stepdad, I’ll install the app for you." After a pause, he continued: "Oh right, you have to register with An Nan for it to count. Dating doesn’t count."
