Chapter 210: Chapter 210: The Baby’s Curious and Wonderful Questions

Time quickly flew by, and August arrived.

The second month of summer vacation was here.

Thanks to Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin’s daily mini-classes, the three little ones had already mastered addition and subtraction within ten and were now aiming for calculations up to one hundred.

They’re recognizing more and more characters, too!

On this day.

After finishing a day of self-study, Xiao Fei stepped out of the study and walked into the living room.

He was greeted by a stunning sight.

Tang Yuxin, dressed in yoga clothes, was lying on a yoga mat following a TV program, striking various poses.

The snug yoga outfit clung to Tang Yuxin’s curves, perfectly showcasing her shapely figure.

"What made you suddenly start doing this?"

Xiao Fei walked over, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked with a smile.

Tang Yuxin didn’t answer immediately. Once she finished a set of poses, she lightly slapped her calves while humming, "Of course, it’s to maintain my perfect figure! If I let myself go and turn ugly without realizing it, what if my husband stops wanting me?"

"Can you have just a little bit of confidence, please."

Xiao Fei rubbed his forehead and sat down on the sofa.

"All your resources have already been handed in, what else is there to worry about?"

Tang Yuxin’s cheeks flushed slightly, but she stubbornly retorted, "Who do you think I’m working this hard for?"

"Alright, alright, my dear wife has worked hard. Here... have some water."

Tang Yuxin took the fruit juice Xiao Fei handed her from the coffee table and drank a sip.

"By the way, where are the kids?"

"I don’t know, was too focused on yoga. But I think they’re in their study room."

The so-called study room was their former nursery.

Now that the kids weren’t babies anymore, Xiao Fei had made some small renovations to turn the space into a learning and playroom for them.

"Alright then, I’ll go check on them."

"Oh~ I’ll keep going; I’ve got three more sets of movements..."

Leaving Tang Yuxin to her yoga, Xiao Fei walked to the study room door.

Before stepping inside, Xiao Fei heard some bizarre sounds coming from the room.

"If it’s ten, carry one to the next digit; add one to the tens place..."

The kids... were self-studying?

Xiao Fei happily moved to the doorway for a look, only to be stunned.

Sanbao was sitting on a small stool, holding Xiang Zilan, the poor little cat, immobilizing it on the table to prevent it from squirming.

Da Bao and Er Bao were in front of the blackboard, scribbling and talking continuously.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Daddy!"

Upon seeing Xiao Fei, the kids cheered and rushed toward him. Freed from Sanbao’s grip, Xiang Zilan darted to Xiao Fei’s feet in a flash, meowing pitifully with wide eyes.

Da Bao exclaimed gleefully, "Daddy, we’re teaching Xiang Zilan addition and subtraction!"

"Daddy, Daddy, Xiang Zilan is sooo dumb! No matter what, she just can’t learn!"

Er Bao chimed in enthusiastically.

Sanbao hugged Xiao Fei’s leg and rubbed against it, asking, "Daddy, why can’t Xiang Zilan learn?"

Xiao Fei opened his mouth to speak but didn’t know where to even begin the critique.

These little troublemakers were seriously trying to teach a cat math?

Sure, Xiang Zilan was smart, but that’s because Xiao Fei had enhanced her with a system buff.

Regardless of how effective the buffs were, Xiang Zilan could only perfectly comprehend Xiao Fei’s verbal commands; anything else... was asking too much of a cat.

The same goes for Little Bei. Don’t be fooled by how that parrot could occasionally spout one or two clever phrases—it actually didn’t understand the meaning of what it said. At most, it could use the buffs Xiao Fei applied to grasp his commands.

Otherwise, wouldn’t these two household pets practically be ascended beings?

"You kids, listen up: whether it’s Xiang Zilan or Little Bei, they’re animals. No matter how smart they are, it’s impossible for them to learn math, okay?"

"Why not?"

Da Bao persisted with his questions.

Xiao Fei thought for a moment, picked up Xiang Zilan, then called for Little Bei. Out of nowhere, Little Bei flew over and perched on his shoulder.

"Look, Xiang Zilan and Little Bei are both small, and their heads are tiny too. Their brains aren’t big enough to hold lots of things, so they can’t learn math."

This explanation seemed the most fitting—for now. Anything more complex, and the kids wouldn’t understand.

Hearing this, the kids let out a collective "Awww~~~" sound.

Sanbao asked again, "Then... Daddy, can we learn things because our heads are bigger?"

"That’s right! We’re human beings—humans are the smartest in the world—so we can easily learn lots of things."

"Does that mean the bigger the head, the smarter someone is?"

Da Bao asked curiously.

Xiao Fei nodded instinctively.

And then...

"Well... aren’t elephants waaaay... bigger? Does that mean they’re smarter than humans?"

Xiao Fei: "...?????"

Oh no, the kids had tricked him into a logic trap.

How was he supposed to explain this now?

No, no, as the perfect dad who knows everything and can do anything, he absolutely had to maintain his flawless image!

Xiao Fei racked his brains, finally stepping into the study. Erasing the math problems the kids had scribbled on the blackboard, he drew a diagram of a head instead.

"Come here, kids. Look at this—this is what the inside of a head looks like."

What Xiao Fei drew wasn’t the external appearance of a head, but the internal structure of the brain.

"Generally speaking, yes, bigger brains do mean smarter. However, brains have different sections. Whether it’s our human brains, Xiang Zilan’s, Little Bei’s, or an elephant’s, each brain is divided into a forebrain and a backbrain."

Xiao Fei labeled the forebrain and backbrain on the drawing.

The kids sat obediently before Xiao Fei, listening intently.

Especially Da Bao.

"The bigger the forebrain, the smarter the being is. Us humans have very large forebrains, so we’re very intelligent."

"Elephants’ heads are definitely big, but their backbrains are much bigger, while their forebrains are pretty small. That’s why elephants are kind of clumsy."

"What’s a backbrain for?"

Da Bao continued his streak of questions.

Xiao Fei explained with a chuckle, "The forebrain is for learning, while the backbrain controls the body. When we lift our hands or walk, those movements are commanded by the backbrain. For example... Xiang Zilan, roll over! Show your tummy!"

Xiang Zilan immediately meowed, rolled over on the ground, and exposed her belly.

"See? It’s like how Daddy commands Xiang Zilan to roll over—our backbrains command our bodies. When we want to lift our hands, the backbrain tells the hand ’lift up!’ and then it moves up!"

A string of question marks popped up over the kids’ heads.

They all started raising their hands, twisting them in all directions.

"But... doesn’t the backbrain control the body really well? Doesn’t that mean the backbrain is pretty smart too? Why is the backbrain considered clumsy then?"

Another question was thrown out...

Xiao Fei smacked his forehead.

Oh no, oh no—his all-knowing perfect dad image was about to be ruined today!
