Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

Chapter 38: Suddenly Looking Back That Person Was There Amidst the Dim Lights


Mo Jingchun's design hit a bottleneck, with no progress unless existing problems were solved, along with many doubts in Mo Jingchun's mind.

Mo Jingchun didn't realize that going from no foundation to creating a draft design drawing of a smart anti-shake spoon from scratch, Mo Jingchun's self-learning ability had already surpassed 99.9% of the people!

Even among the current batch of mechanical-related students, there are probably few who can, like Mo Jingchun, come up with a practical product design draft at this stage.

No matter how outstanding Mo Jingchun is, he now faces problems that are right in front of him and needs professional help and guidance, along with some advice.

Where is this place? This is Jing University! A place teeming with experts, professors, and academicians across various fields. Surely there is someone at the school who can help Mo Jingchun solve his problems and answer his questions. The problem is, Mo Jingchun is just a student, a freshman this year, and doesn't even know who to approach. Even if he knew, without an introduction, why would anyone pay attention to him?

For a time, whether in class or back in the apartment building, Mo Jingchun often frowned.

On this Saturday, as usual, Mo Jingchun was holding Candy, who was bouncing around in his arms, deep in thought.

Just then, the half-closed door was pushed open, and Mo Jingchun, focused on his thoughts, didn't even notice.

It's not that Mo Jingchun was completely unguarded, it was just that the outer door was closed, and the counselor had only come twice since the start of school, one of which was upon Mo Jingchun's invitation for a meal.

Little did Mo Jingchun expect that Counselor Na would suddenly come today without making a sound.

In the bedroom, with his back to Counselor Na, Mo Jingchun was looking down at a book he just borrowed from the school library last night.

Over the past month, the library staff had come to know Mo Jingchun, recognizing him as the oddball who borrows and returns books daily.

However, the school never said this wasn't allowed, so the library staff, when encountering Mo Jingchun, would at most glance another time, occasionally saying, "You're here again," without asking further questions.

The originally lively Candy in Mo Jingchun's arms quieted down upon seeing Li Na, her big eyes full of curiosity as she looked at Li Na, a constant smile on her little face.

Li Na reached out a hand, making a "shhh" gesture towards the little one, without considering whether she understood the meaning.

In recent days, more than one class cadre had reported Mo Jingchun's unusual behavior to Li Na, especially Zhang Hui Zhen, who had mentioned that Mo Jingchun seemed preoccupied lately.

Thus, Li Na went straight to the apartment building to check on Mo Jingchun's condition and help resolve the troubles he faced.

The little one extended her small hand, and Li Na, with a slight smile, reached out to touch it.

Standing behind Mo Jingchun, Li Na also saw the book Mo Jingchun was reading on the table and the handwritten notes beside it.

"Mechanics?" A head full of questions popped up for Li Na; why did Mo Jingchun, who wasn't focusing on his primary subject, suddenly go and learn mechanical knowledge?

Didn't Mo Jingchun know the common wisdom of biting off more than you can chew?

Mo Jingchun, with his lips dry, licked his cracked lips, preparing to go to the kitchen to pour a glass of water. Turning his head, he met the steadfast gaze of Counselor Na, jumping in surprise like an athlete.

He instinctively blurted out a national exclamation.

The little one, on the other hand, was thrilled, attempting to have Mo Jingchun lift her high again.

Mo Jingchun swallowed nervously and cautiously asked, "Na, when did you get here?"

"You scared me."

Li Na glanced at Mo Jingchun, who still wore the look of shock, and tapped the book on the desk, "Have you finished self-studying all your major courses?"

"Are you planning to minor in mechanics?"

"Is this why you're distracted in class, frowning every day?"

Faced with Counselor Na's rapid-fire questions, Mo Jingchun's smile gradually stiffened.

"Most… most of it is self-studied."

"So, you haven't finished self-studying your major courses?"

To Counselor Na's follow-up question, Mo Jingchun was embarrassingly speechless.

"Haven't mastered your major yet thinking about studying another?" Li Na's concern was evident in her frown.

But Mo Jingchun's next sentence made Li Na, who was filled with concern, feel an upsurge of frustration.

"Huh? No, I wasn't planning on studying another major, who said that?"

Li Na stared at Mo Jingchun, pointed at the notes on the table, and said, "If you're not studying another major, why are you reading these books? Look, you even took notes."

Taking notes, yet claiming not to study another major—trying to fool a child?

Seeing the misunderstanding deepen, Mo Jingchun hastily shook his head to explain, "Na, it's not what you think. I'm developing a product, and I encountered many issues in the mechanical hardware aspect. Since I couldn't resolve them, I've been reading books and researching."

"Just this?"

Mo Jingchun nodded, "Just this."

"Eh? No, even if you're developing a product, it should be software development. What's it got to do with mechanics?"

Feeling a little embarrassed, Mo Jingchun replied, "I designed a small product. There's no issue on the software side, but the mechanical linkage is far from expectations."

As he spoke, Mo Jingchun rotated his laptop towards Counselor Na.

"It's this. The smart anti-shake spoon I've designed."

Looking at the chubby spoon on Mo Jingchun's laptop screen—was it a spoon, though?

Li Na didn't want to dampen Mo Jingchun's enthusiasm and could only reluctantly ask what this thing was used for.

Instantly, Mo Jingchun transformed into an orator, fervently extolling the smart anti-shake spoon's potential once the problem was solved.

Li Na rubbed her temples with a headache and let out a soft sigh.

"So, you're saying you've been researching this thing all this time? And it's also why you've been frowning every day."

Being called out on the core issue, Mo Jingchun felt a pang of heartache.

"Yes, Na. I've managed to solve over half of the problems, but the remaining ones are tough."

"So, why aren't you consulting Academician Chen Xihuo living right across from you? Hmm?"

"Ignoring the academician right in front of you, what's the point of running to the library for information, as not all knowledge can be found in books?"

Mo Jingchun froze, academician? Academician Chen Xihuo right across?

Wasn't it Professor Chen Xihuo?

Besides, it's not like he'd heard that Professor Chen Xihuo—or rather, Academician Chen Xihuo—was an expert in the field of mechanics.

It seemed no one ever said he wasn't either…

Mo Jingchun fell silent.

With others, Mo Jingchun might not know how to seek guidance. But if he'd known earlier that Academician Chen Xihuo's research direction was mechanics, he would've sought advice long ago.

What do they call this? Suddenly looking back, the man was at the place where the lights were dim.
