I finally managed to dissuade my aunt from acting as a matchmaker and finished my meal peacefully.
After sending Ji Yu home, they found a hotel nearby with parking.
Because Ji Yu's house was too small, and there was no need to squeeze in. After all, they had already stayed in a hotel in Gaocheng.
During the New Year holidays, many people come to Gaohe to play, and many economy hotels have no vacancies.
Rich woman Lin Fan generously booked a four-star hotel not far from Ji Yu's home.
I didn't stay in a five-star hotel because there really weren't any nearby, and there was really no need.
The next morning, Ji Yu took the subway to the hotel to take a few people out for fun.
Gaohe, as one of the most famous tourist cities in China, still has many places to have fun.
Li Chunhua and Gao Fei had never been here before and were very excited.
The group followed Ji Yu on the subway, and after several transfers, they arrived at... the Science and Technology Museum.
The Gaohe Science and Technology Museum is magnificently built and the exhibits inside are very interesting.
Although Gao and Li were a little disappointed at first, they were later attracted by the various high-tech displays.
After leaving the Science and Technology Museum, Ji Yu took everyone to a well-known restaurant for dinner. After a short rest, he took everyone to... the museum.
Not to mention Li Chunhua, even Gao Fei was a little confused.
They didn't say the museum was bad. The various cultural relics and historical sites in the museum amazed them, but this was not what they had imagined...
"I say, is this the fun place you mentioned?" Li Chunhua was really impatient to look at those wooden artifacts and wood carvings. As he came out of a venue and walked through the hall, he hooked his arm around Ji Yu's neck and asked in a low voice.
"..." Ji Yu seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He looked at the unhappy expressions on everyone's faces and felt a little embarrassed. "Is it not fun? I used to play in these places when I was a kid. I thought they were very interesting. I thought you would like them too."
"It's not that it's boring, it's just..." Li Chunhua scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
"Most people who travel to a strange place either go to see the scenery or the cultural facilities. Very few go to a city specifically to visit museums and study the local culture." Lin Fan could understand what Li Chunhua meant.
"Oh, really?" Ji Yu finally realized that he had done something wrong. "I'm sorry, when I was a kid, my family said they would take me out to play, and we would always go to places like these."
"Haven't you ever been to those scenic spots?" Li Chunhua asked in surprise.
There are so many places to play in Gaohe. Some people even say that as long as you have money, you can play in a different Gaohe every day.
As a native of Gaohe, Ji Yu wouldn't have never visited the scenic spots in his hometown, right?
"I've been there, all of them. But I always had a mission when I went. For example, if I went to the seaside, I had to write an account of what I saw. If I went to the TV tower, I had to describe the structure and knowledge inside," Ji Yu recalled. "I don't think it's as interesting as the museum."
After all, there is no extra homework when going to museums and science museums.
The group stopped talking and didn't move forward, so they just sat in the courtyard and chatted.
"Was your family so strict when you were a kid?" Gao Fei asked. "You're so smart, but why were they so strict? I feel like my childhood was wasted."
So through Ji Yu's description, everyone knew about his childhood.
At first, he was no different from other children.
After entering kindergarten, the teacher discovered that he was quicker in reaction than other children and wondered if the child was smarter, so he told Ji Yu's parents about it.
The educated parents immediately took Ji Yu to the hospital to test his IQ, and the result was unexpectedly high.
From then on, Ji Yu's childhood was no longer just about playing, everything was for the purpose of developing his intelligence.
When others are playing, he wants to study; when others are studying, he wants to learn more.
Because Ji Yu is smart, his progress is obvious.
Despite the praise from his parents and teachers, his relationship with his peers was very ordinary.
Everyone used to hold up Ji Yu as a role model, and how could children with obviously lower IQs like him? Gradually, Ji Yu got used to going alone and became a lonely little genius.
His classmates said he was aloof and aloof, but he didn't care. He seemed to get real happiness only when he was studying and conquering one difficult problem after another.
Because of Ji Yu's introverted nature, his parents, who originally wanted to send him to a junior class, listened to the advice of a psychologist. For his mental health, they decided to let him follow the normal life path of a child, without skipping grades, and go all the way to high school.
But just when his family was planning a study abroad program for him at a famous foreign university, he turned around and applied to the Aviation College.
This was the first time that Ji Yu did not follow his family's wishes and made his own choice.
Of course Ji's parents were unhappy, but they were high-level intellectuals and did not get too angry about their child's belated rebellion.
Moreover, the Aviation College is a top-notch institution in the country, and only the best of the best can get in.
There was nothing wrong with Ji Yujin's flight, it was just that it was inconsistent with the route they had originally planned.
Because of Ji Yu's persistence and the fact that the school was impeccable, and that the status of a pilot was no less valuable than that of a financial economist, the Ji family quickly accepted the reality and happily sent Ji Yu to school.
After entering university, Ji Yu worked even harder in his new field. After overcoming one academic hurdle after another, he quickly completed his undergraduate degree and went on to study for a master's degree.
Finally, after reading one document after another, I became rebellious. I ignored my advisor's advice to stay in the doctoral program and went straight to the flight base.
"You are actually a master's degree!" Gao Fei always thought that Ji Yu was just smart, but he didn't expect that although they were the same age, his academic qualifications were so much higher than his.
"Okay, you're all educated people! But is academic qualifications the main point?" Li Chunhua, who only had a high school education, felt a little hurt. "Isn't the main point that Ji Yu didn't have a childhood?"
"I had a childhood." Ji Yu said seriously.
"I know you did. I mean, your childhood was not a childhood for ordinary children to play around. You spent your childhood studying. That doesn't mean you didn't have it." Li Chunhua retorted.
Ji Yu didn't say anything.
When he was very young, he realized that other children were different from him. They could skip homework and study and just play downstairs every day.
Only when I grew up did I realize that the different one was myself.
But no matter how smart he was, he was still a child and didn't know how to resist.
The only time was when I applied for aviation.
I feel like I have finally broken free from the string held by my family and am no longer a beautiful kite.
He didn't experience the kind of childhood that other children had.
He also knew that his childhood was missing a lot.
But what’s the point of saying that today?
Ji Yu is already the Ji Yu of today.
If it weren’t for his previous experiences, Ji Yu would not be able to join Team 623 and access the most advanced technology.
Looking at Li Chunhua, who was still mumbling to a few people about his difficult childhood, Gao Fei, who showed sympathy, Lin Fan, who looked at them with a smile, and Song Ren, who smiled and told Li Chunhua to shut up...
Ji Yu felt that if his boring childhood could be exchanged for today's encounter, he would be willing to do it again.
In remembrance, in mourning. This is the scheduled post this morning, and I can't retract it. This is the only chapter I'll post today.
Ji Yu was a pitiful child, too. Because he was so smart, he never had any fun as a child. Vote for Ji Yu, the kid who never had a childhood.
