After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1397 - 1396: Gourmet Festival Extra Episode

The meaning of little Shi Wu’s words was that he wanted his father to stand by his side and criticize his "silly mom" Xia Chuyi together.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi also looked at Huo Shiqian and said, "So, is it your son who’s silly or is it me?"

Huo Shiqian shook his head slightly, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, and said, "Alright, neither of you is silly."

"How is it not silly?" Xia Chuyi laughed at this and continued to tease her son, "The doctor gave quite a mediocre evaluation of you, you know!"

This remark almost made Huo Shiwu cry from anger.

"Shi Wu isn’t silly, Mom is silly!" shouted Huo Shiwu.

"You’re silly, you’re the one who’s silly!" Xia Chuyi continued to jokingly argue with her son, laughing.

Huo Shiqian: ...

Why did he feel like both mother and son were silly?

Of course, this was something he wouldn’t say aloud.

Huo Shiqian glanced at his wife and then patted his son in his arms, saying, "Shi Wu isn’t silly."

Upon hearing this, little Huo Shiwu puffed out his small chest, saying, "Hmm, not silly!"

"Shi Wu, previously at the doctor’s, when the doctor was asking you questions, did you deliberately respond a bit more slowly?" At that moment, Huo Shiqian asked his son.

This question was based on Huo Shiqian’s own suspicions after hearing Abraham’s words.

The level of his son’s intelligence far surpassed that of his peers, and this was something Huo Shiqian could ascertain even without any tests.

So, when the results at Abraham’s came out, Huo Shiqian was surprised.

Later, after hearing Abraham’s words, he started to suspect.

He suspected that his son had deliberately acted more slow-witted during the test.

At this moment, he only heard little Shi Wu answer with a child’s voice but with a very serious tone, "Hmm, Shi Wu wants to be liked, so he listened to Daddy and pretended to be silly, acted silly, so people wouldn’t see Shi Wu being smart."

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian’s eyes flashed a bit.

And Xia Chuyi also paused for a second.

This...

Xia Chuyi recalled the words Huo Shiqian said to their son in the car before coming to the hospital.

So, her son was pretending to be silly?

Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but sigh, leaned over, took her son’s head, and gave him two kisses on the cheeks, saying, "Little demon, clever little monkey."

Feeling embarrassed by his mom’s kisses, little Huo Shiwu tightly kept his face stern, snorted, and said, "Big demon!"

Knowing her son was pretending to be silly on purpose, Xia Chuyi was somewhat at a loss for how to tease her son.

A small child already beginning to learn how to hide himself, it’s hard to say whether it’s a blessing or a misfortune.

Many times, people are happier being a little silly.

"Alright, you’re the little demon, I’m the big demon, your dad is also a big demon..." Xia Chuyi followed along with her son’s words, "Our family is all demons, is that good?"

"Hmph." Huo Shiwu turned his face away, ignoring Xia Chuyi.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi sighed inwardly and then took her son from Huo Shiqian’s arms, saying, "Shi Wu isn’t silly, Mom is silly... Our Shi Wu is the smartest, cutest, most obedient little demon in the world, and he’s Mom’s most cherished, most beloved little demon."

Xia Chuyi tried to placate her son.

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, little Huo Shiwu’s stern face finally softened a bit, although he was still slightly upset with his mom.

"How is our Shi Wu so smart and adorable?" Xia Chuyi continued, "What kid could be smarter and cuter than our Shi Wu?"

Xia Chuyi showered praises on her son relentlessly.
