The citizens of Cillin were relatively calm about the passing of the War God Li Bofu. This was probably because they had seen far too many life-and-death separations after decades of bitter war against the Empire. Moreover, Cillin had never lacked heroes in its history, especially two years ago when they had just sent away their own hero. That was why they expressed their condolences and showed the most sincere respect for the old man's passing. Life quickly returned to normal after that.
In fact, no matter who lived or died, the universe would always develop as it had been. Even the people of the capital ring had to mainly focus on their work, study, or denounce the shameless monopolies on the Internet. This was life.
In the morning, Xu Le held little watermelon's hand and walked into the school. Under the awe-inspiring gazes of the teachers and students, he smiled and said goodbye. The little girl turned back and smiled sweetly, her black hair and fluffy plaid skirt dancing a waltz.
Xu Le did not leave. He found a few technical books on turbochargers in the school library and sat silently by the window behind the tall bookshelf. Using the bright sunlight outside the window, he carefully read the books, trying to grasp the old and slightly primitive mechanical principles as quickly as possible and how to match them with the cutting-edge quasi quantum engine.
The whole morning passed like this. When the bell rang, he looked at the sunlight outside the window, squinted his eyes and stretched lazily. He then walked to the bottom of the teaching building and took little watermelon from the young female teacher. He was a little embarrassed to ignore the young female teacher's admiring and shy eyes. He lowered his head and led the little girl through the sea of people in the school and found a very inconspicuous Red Oil Restaurant to pass the time.
Then in the afternoon, Xu Le threw himself behind the tall bookshelf in the library like a soft cotton pillow. Because the angle of sunlight had changed, he chose a window facing west and continued to read in silence. Occasionally, he would pick up the military water bottle and drink a few mouthfuls of water.
When the bell rang again, he went to the bottom of the teaching building and experienced the shy and admiring eyes of the young female teacher again. Although this female teacher and many other young female teachers in the school had been looking at him like this for a few months, he was still embarrassed. So, he lowered his stubborn head that he usually found difficult to lower. He held the little girl's hand and broke through the sea of people in the school as if he was escaping.
When they returned to the old mansion in Wei2 District, Fatty Tian would sometimes wait in the dining room with a knife and fork, and sometimes he would disappear without a trace. It was said that he had gone to the Second Rapid Response Brigade to compete in drinking. Zhong Huoyan, on the other hand, would use her fastest speed to rush upstairs, take a shower, wash her hair, and change into beautiful household clothes. Xu Le, on the other hand, would take advantage of this time to cook a few home-cooked dishes in the kitchen and a large pot of rice.
After Zhong Huoyan bit her lip and stubbornly expressed that she was only willing to eat the food he cooked, the responsibility of cooking in the old mansion fell on him.
Xu Le's appetite was still as exaggerated as always, so it took a long time for him to cook a big pot of rice. By this time, Zhong Huoyan would have already washed herself clean, held a large white towel, and skipped downstairs. She would quietly stand in front of him and then lower her head to hide in the white towel.
Xu Le wiped the little girl's wet hair quickly, simply, and even a little rudely. The cigarette in his mouth would often leak some ash. At times like this, he would often narrow his eyes and recall the homework content and key points in the parent's handbook. He would think about where to start the tutoring after dinner, and whether he should not go too deep into it. It seemed a little too early for a sixth-grade student to come into contact with theoretical physics.
School, waiting, lunch, waiting, dinner, tutoring, storytelling, and waiting for the little girl to fall asleep. This was Xu Le's daily routine in the West Woods Sunset State.
After being banished from the capital ring, the Federation government did not arrange any specific work for him. Naturally, the negotiations with the Empire's underground resistance were handled by professional negotiators. The military equipment test project in the armaments assembly base was also handled by the Ministry of Defense and the Shell Motor Company's technical department. All Xu Le needed to do was to attend a few cocktail parties to strengthen friendship and appease the anger of Mr. Mu En and the other outlanders. Other than that, there was nothing else to do.
Therefore, he began to silently act as a guardian. According to the life attitude he had cultivated over the years, he should do what he did well. He tried his best to play the role of a male babysitter.
This kind of life seemed a little boring and monotonous, but Xu Le could adapt to it very well. This was because in this kind of boring and monotonous life, there was the word "peaceful life" that he liked very much. Compared to the battlefield full of blood and smoke, the vanity fair full of conspiracies and violence, he felt that his current life was as gentle and happy as the clouds.

"Why does the wave content of electrons begin to collapse when we observe them?"
Zhong Huashan, who was wearing a pink nightgown, was curled up in a corner of the sofa. She gently bit the end of a digital pen and asked in confusion. The little girl was not yet twelve years old, but her youthful appearance was very clear. The pair of bare feet that were exposed outside the nightgown were even more adorable.
"Although I have to admit that your learning ability is very amazing, I still think that it's a little too early to explain quantum physics."
Xu Le looked at the report card that the school had sent to his phone. Looking at the full marks on it, a faint sense of pride spontaneously grew in the depths of his heart. He could not help but laugh out loud.
After the death of Commander Zhong and his wife, this delicate little girl in front of him was a family member that he had to do his best to take care of. However, he did not expect that little watermelon would have such an extraordinary talent in learning. Before the age of twelve, she had already finished all the high school courses.
"If you're interested in this, there's a popular science book called The History of Quantum Physics. You can take a look at it first."
Zhong Huashan shrugged like an adult and said cutely, "I've already finished reading that book, but I have to admit that there are many parts that I don't understand. Brother, everyone says that you're a genius, so you should be able to explain it more clearly."
"Theoretical physics has always been my weak point." Xu Le also shrugged and said, "When I was learning from Professor Shen at the research institute, I was often criticized mercilessly by him, so it's best to ask someone else for these questions."
When Zhong Huashan heard this, she suddenly sat up from the sofa and crawled over to Xu Le in an unseemly manner. She looked up at him and blinked her eyes. She asked curiously, "Should I look for that female engineer? She's the chief technical supervisor of Nutshell, and she designed the MX mecha with you, Brother. She must be very good at theoretical physics. "
Xu Le was stunned for a moment. He rubbed her hair and said, "She's very busy with work now."
"Military equipment testing is a long-term job. There's no way she'll be very busy." Zhong Huashan's judgment was clearly sharper than that of her peers. She wrinkled her nose and retorted, "You were arranged to do this because the big shots from S1 wanted to chase you far away, so why is she here too? A military equipment testing doesn't need two technical geniuses like you to be present at the same time, right? "
