Chapter 175 Their respective New Years

Liu Xia and Li Hao briefly told their parents about their various, what could be described as "fantastic" experiences studying at UCB over the past two years.

Liu Xia sat on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, looking at Li Hao's parents a little stiffly.

Li Hao leaned leisurely on the other side of the sofa with a smirk on his face, as if he was looking forward to the upcoming "family revealing time".

Mother Li enthusiastically handed Liu Xia a plate of fruit and said with a smile, "Xiaoxia, don't be nervous. We don't have so many rules in our family. Just be casual."

Liu Xia nodded politely and took the fruit. "Thank you, Auntie. I'm not nervous. It's just... this is my first time meeting you, and I want to make a good impression."

Dad Li put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Xiaoxia, don't worry. Our Haohao has had many friends of the same sex since he was a child, but you are the first person of the opposite sex that we have brought home to meet our parents."

When Liu Xia heard this, her face turned slightly red and she subconsciously glanced at Li Hao.

By chance, she found him looking at her smugly and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Li Hao, can you be serious?"

Li Hao spread his hands, looking innocent: "I'm very serious, and what my mother said is not a lie."

Liu Xia sighed softly, turned her head and said to Aunt Li, "Auntie, was Haohao always this naughty when he was a child? I feel like he's quite good at getting angry now."

When Li's mother heard this, she instantly perked up: "That's not just a joke! Xiaoxia, you don't know, when he was a child, he was the best of our family's 'naughty kids'!"

Liu Xia became interested. She placed the teacup on the tea table and asked with a smile, "What do you mean? Auntie, you have to explain it to me."

Li's mother smiled and began to recall, "When he was little, he loved to make trouble. One time in kindergarten, the teacher asked them to draw, but he simply painted all his classmates' drawings black and said it was the 'Big Bang.' Tell me, isn't this child very creative?"

Liu Xia couldn't help laughing. "I've had this idea since I was little, Auntie. Weren't you angry then?"

Li's father interjected, "Angry? Of course I'm angry! But later his teacher told us that this kid is very smart, and sometimes he just uses a little 'unconventional' approach."

"I remember another time when he was tinkering with the clock at home and actually took the alarm clock apart and put it back together. He put it back together, but it kept ringing on the hour, keeping the whole family awake."

Liu Xia burst into laughter and turned to look at Li Hao: "Why were you so restless as a child? No wonder you're so restless now. It turns out there are historical roots."

Li Hao had a helpless smile on his face: "Xiaoxia, just laugh. I was conducting scientific exploration at the time. Who would have thought how loud it would be when I put it back together?"

Mother Li couldn't help but shake her head. "Scientific exploration? Don't forget that time you used the microwave to heat eggs, and there was a 'bang' sound. We were so scared we thought it exploded!"

When Liu Xia heard this, she laughed so hard that she almost cried. "Li Hao, you're really a bit of a jerk! How troubled must your parents must have been back then."

Li Hao spread his hands, looking helpless: "I have grown up and become mature, haven't I? Besides, aren't these experiences laying the foundation for the future?"

Li Ma looked at him dotingly, "Alright, alright, just be yourself. Xiaoxia, you have to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble."

Liu Xia covered her mouth and smiled: "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on him. But he is still quite reliable now."

Father Li nodded gently: "Xiaoxia, we can see that Haohao has indeed matured a lot in recent years. Now that you are by our side, we feel more at ease."

As the tea party continued, Li Hao's parents and Liu Xia became more familiar with each other and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Liu Xia sighed secretly while listening to Li Hao's embarrassing childhood stories:

This man who usually looks mature and steady and can make waves in the capital market actually has so many interesting stories when he was a "naughty child".

After sending her parents back to their room to rest in the evening, Liu Xia couldn't help but tease Li Hao: "So you were so naughty when you were a child. No wonder you have so many naughty ideas now."

Li Hao smiled and hugged her: "Don't listen to my parents' nonsense, that's all in the past. Besides, don't you think I was quite creative when I was a kid?"

Liu Xia pushed him away with feigned disgust: "It's creative, but I guess your parents' early graying of hair is also related to you."

Li Hao laughed heartily. "That just proves I have strong genes and can handle a lot. Xiaoxia, stop talking about me. In a few days, why don't you tell me about your embarrassing stories? Let's expose each other's secrets."

Liu Xia raised her eyebrows. "Hmph, no way. Li Hao, just digest today's embarrassment on your own."

After saying that, she turned and went into the room, leaving Li Hao standing there, shaking his head helplessly.

The whole house was filled with a warm atmosphere. As the New Year approached, both of them were full of anticipation.

This was their first Spring Festival together, and it was also an opportunity for their relationship to further warm up.

……

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Liu Fei finished his work at the company early and returned home.

His wife was busy cleaning the house and preparing to put up Spring Festival couplets. Liu Fei was holding a teacup in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, looking at the New Year's greeting text message sent by Liu Xia, and couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, wife, Xiaoxia has finally grown up." Liu Fei put down his phone and said with emotion.

His wife looked up, wiped her hands, and asked in confusion, "Why do you sound like an old father marrying off his daughter? Hasn't she always been very reliable?"

Liu Fei shook his head. "It's different. This time it's really different. Do you know who she went with for the New Year?"

"With whom? Could it be that guy named Li Hao?" the wife said, glancing at him.

Liu Fei nodded: "That's him! Let me tell you, this guy is no ordinary guy. Xiaoxia took the initiative to go home with him for the New Year this time. I guess this matter is almost done."

His wife put down the Spring Festival couplets in her hand, sat on the sofa, and asked with interest: "What do you think of Li Hao? Is this future son-in-law qualified?"

Liu Fei smiled. "What else can I say? This guy is excellent in everything from the corporate world to the academic world. And he truly cares about Xiaoxia. Let me tell you, if it weren't for Li Hao, I don't know if Xiaoxia could adapt to the pace of the United States. For this reason alone, I'm truly satisfied."

His wife couldn't help but tease him, "Hey, when have you ever praised someone like that? That's not like you, 'Boss' Liu."

Liu Fei took a sip of tea and raised his lips: "I'm just telling the truth. But, if Xiaoxia really gets engaged to him, I'll be completely relieved."

His wife smiled and nodded: "Indeed, Xiaoxia has been busy with her career these years, and we have been worried about her lifelong affairs."

"Now that she has a reliable person like Li Hao by her side, we can rest assured. In this way, can you take care of less of the company's affairs and spend more time with me?"

Liu Fei's eyes widened. "Why are you dragging me into this again? I'm doing this for Feiyue Media! The competition in the media industry is so fierce this year. As a parent, how can I not pay more attention to it?"

His wife responded bluntly, "You're the boss of Feiyue Media, not our daughter. If she really gets married, we'll have to be more careful in the future, or else Li Hao will accuse you of being too nosy."

Liu Fei almost choked on his tea when he heard this and quickly waved his hands: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. But then again, it would be even more perfect if Xiaoxia could develop with Li Hao and bring Feiyue Media to the capital market."

His wife rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're always attached to the company! If Xiaoxia lives well in the future, don't worry about her. We just need to live a good life."

Liu Fei scratched his head, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. However, after the Spring Festival, I have to find a chance to talk to Li Hao and see what they are planning."

His wife waved her hand and said, "Come on, don't be so proactive. It makes us look like we're in a hurry to marry our daughter off. Xiaoxia knows her own limits, so don't get involved."

Liu Fei smiled helplessly: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. Well, if our daughter's life event is really settled, I think I will have fewer gray hairs this year."

His wife burst out laughing: "Then you have to save your hair first, don't let Li Hao see how worried you are."

The two smiled at each other, and the whole house was filled with the warm atmosphere of the New Year.

Although they said it jokingly, their hearts were full of expectations and blessings for Liu Xia's future life.

……

It's rare for Xu Lei to take time off to return to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.

As soon as you enter the house, the strong New Year atmosphere hits you. The red Spring Festival couplets are neatly posted on the house, and there are busy figures in the kitchen, and the aroma of frying, stir-frying and cooking can be smelled.

The family sat together chatting and watching the Spring Festival Gala. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed.

However, although Xu Lei was sitting on the sofa, the phone in his hand never stopped.

He swiped the screen from time to time, staring at the discussion area of ​​the developer community, and his brows gradually furrowed.

His mother noticed his expression and couldn't help but say, "Leilei, you haven't been home for a year. Can you put your phone down and chat with your parents?"

Xu Lei quickly put his phone aside and said with a wry smile: "Mom, I'm just checking some industry news. Don't worry, I will definitely have time to accompany you." As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea, trying to hide his inner shock.

A discussion post in the developer community just now made Xu Lei a little uneasy.

The title of the post is——

"A US company has begun testing AI bionic robots, and a market revolution is about to come."

Although the content of the post is vague, the whistleblower claims that the latest generation of AI models has been applied to the field of bionic robots and has achieved breakthrough progress.

Xu Lei couldn't help but click on the comment section, and the more he read, the more shocked he became.

"I heard that this company is an extension project of a top laboratory, and it has the support of a giant capital."

"Bionic robots? Aren't they the future labor revolution? If they really succeed, the capital market will go crazy!"

"I hope it's just a rumor, otherwise it would be a world-shaking change for ordinary people like us."

"Some say their model is at least 30% more efficient than current AI on the market. How can that be possible?"
