We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Tang Shaowu said in a calm voice, "Yu Duo! I said you should go back first, and I'll consider it."

Even Su Weile, who could act recklessly around Tang Shaowu every day, felt a little scared whenever she heard Tang Shaowu speak like that.

But the boy remained motionless.

Su Weile was somewhat shocked. He saw the boy's hands begin to tremble slightly, realizing that he was also afraid. But he still persevered.

Tang Shaowu stared coldly at the boy, observing his three-no policy: no looking up, no responding, and no leaving.

When time seemed to stand still, the boy spoke again, his voice trembling and broken even more than before: "I...promise...that...I...will...let...you...see...the...results...within...one...year...and..."

Tang Shao suddenly laughed; he was genuinely amused by the child's antics.

When Su Weile saw that smile, her heart began to churn.

Tang Shaowu spoke again, his voice still icy, "Yu Duo!! Stop right there! You should be glad that my temper is better than before, otherwise I would have had you thrown into the sea long ago."

You won't listen, huh? Fine, I'll call He Tunan right now! I'll tell him..."

A magical scene unfolded: the boy suddenly stood up, and without saying a word, quickly and mechanically turned around and walked away like a robot.

They just left without even saying goodbye?

Su Weile was stunned, and Tang Shaowu also looked at his back and shook his head with a smile once again.

Su Weile watched as the boy would always lower his head and stop when he met someone, waiting for them to walk around him before slowly continuing forward.

When Su Weile looked away again, he found that Tang Shaowu was already smiling at him.

"What's wrong? Why does Lele look so unhappy today?"

Su Weile frowned and said, "What's wrong with that giant salamander? Is it really like Ding Yi said, that there's...something wrong with him?"

Tang Shaowu raised an eyebrow. "A giant salamander? Yu Duoyao?"

"Yes, yes, who else could it be?"

Tang Shaowu smiled helplessly and said, "How come you're so good at giving people nicknames?"

He lifted Su Weile's leg, which was propped up on the side of his chair, and placed it on his own lap, gently massaging his calf.

Lately, because of surfing, Su Weile often says in the middle of the night, half asleep, "Da Wuwu, my calves hurt so much."

While gently massaging him, Tang Shaowu said, "He probably has some social anxiety, and he may have some difficulty communicating and interacting with people, but his mind is perfectly normal, even clearer than most people."

In fact, humans expend a great deal of energy and brain cells dealing with interpersonal relationships. Children like Yu Duo simply channel those same brain cells into other areas, which is why many geniuses exhibit somewhat eccentric behavior, yet their emotions remain remarkably stable.

Su Weile listened with a frown, then looked directly at Tang Shaowu and said, "So, you mean he's really amazing? Super awesome! He's an emotionally stable, incredibly smart, super-duper salamander!"

Tang Shaowu stopped talking and looked at Su Weile intently. There was no smile on his face, but it was definitely not anger; it was a look of inquiry.

Su Weile felt a little embarrassed by the stares and turned her face away, saying fiercely, "What are you looking at?!"

Tang Shaowu smiled and turned Su Weile's face towards him, then asked softly:

"Does Lele not like him? Why?"

Su Weile and Tang Shaowu looked at each other without answering, just silently watching him, their eyes filled with a lot of emotions. Tang Shaowu looked at Su Weile like this.

He smiled and said:

"Don't want to talk about it? Then I won't ask anymore. If you don't like him, I won't see him again."

Su Weile asked in disbelief, "Really?"

Tang Shaowu nodded. "When have I ever lied to you?"

Su Weile blinked and said, "Isn't he a super genius? He's the one who asked you to invest, right? He said he has some super amazing... technology?"

"We already have enough projects on hand. I'm not the only one with the capital to invest in him; he can collaborate with others."

After a moment of silence, Su Weile was actually quite conflicted. He could tell that Tang Shaowu was interested in the investment, but he didn't want anyone else to attract Tang Shaowu's attention.

Just as Su Weile was struggling with her decision, Tang Shaowu slowly said:

"Let's just let this go, there's no need to waste our time on it. The diver just told me that there will be a bioluminescent sea on the island tonight."

Su Weile, who was still deep in thought, was immediately drawn to the topic. "Huh? What sea?"
