Autistic Genius and His Childhood Friend (8): Fulfill all your wishes

Chu Feng’s expression turned very grim. He glanced at Si Qi, then at the onlookers who were live-streaming the scene inside, and turned his back to everyone. After taking a few deep breaths to suppress the almost uncontrollable nausea and aversion, he said with a light laugh, “Yes, Dad, I’m with Si Qi. As for the controlled nuclear fusion you mentioned, I’m not very clear about that either; it’s all Si Qi’s work.”

Chu’s father became even more eager upon hearing this, his tone extremely excited, laughing so hard he couldn’t close his mouth. He chuckled and said, “My son is indeed promising! You must maintain a good relationship with Si Qi in the future, and never fall out with him! Say nice things to him often, flatter him a bit, understand?”

Chu Feng tried to speak in a docile tone, but his facial expression was frighteningly cold. He said, “Okay, Dad, don’t worry, he and I are very good friends.

“But Dad, are Auntie and Brother still at home? You know, Si Qi’s family environment is very bad, and he detests stepmothers and stepbrothers the most. I originally wanted to invite him to our house to play, but now I don’t know how to bring it up with him.”

Hearing this, the person on the other end understood Chu Feng’s implication immediately and said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, your aunt and your brother will move out of the house today! If you want to come back, you can come back anytime, this will always be your home, you are Dad’s real son!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng’s expression did not become joyful but turned even colder. Without stopping, he continued, “By the way, Dad, Si Qi said that some of his inventions might enter the market through civilian channels, and he told me that he might make me his partner in the future. But I’m still studying now and know nothing about business. Dad, can you let me into the company to learn?”

“No problem! Of course, no problem!” To be able to establish a cooperative relationship with someone like Si Qi was something many people dream of! It was like picking up a bargain for free! “You can come to the company anytime, I’ll arrange for you to be a department head first, and then gradually promote you to CEO. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, the company will fully support you!!”

Listening to the extremely excited voice from the other end of the terminal, Chu Feng sneered, nodded, and said, “Hmm, okay, I understand, thank you, Dad, I will work hard, hmm, okay, goodbye, Dad.”

With a gloomy look, he hung up the phone, staring expressionlessly at the terminal in his hand. After a long while, he took a deep breath.

He was still too weak and needed to grow up quickly, to become strong enough. Strong enough to protect the most important person to him, strong enough to ensure that he would never suffer even the slightest grievance again.

An experience like today, where he had to watch everyone mock Si Qi while he could do nothing, was something he never wanted to go through again.

Chu Feng put the terminal back into his pocket and turned to walk back to Si Qi’s side.

As soon as he turned around, he came face to face with Si Qi. Chu Feng was startled and then embarrassed: “You heard that, huh…”

Si Qi nodded and said with a smile, “I think it’s a good idea.”

Chu Feng was puzzled: “What?”

Si Qi: “You said your family’s company needs new technology, new products, no problem, I can do that.”

A look of disbelief flashed in Chu Feng’s eyes, and he said seriously, “Do you know what you’re saying? Do you know the immense power that will be unleashed once you say that with your abilities?”

Si Qi smiled lightly and said, “I know.”

Chu Feng said gravely, “You don’t understand, your inventions are enough to influence the whole world!”

Si Qi thought for a moment and said, “But you are my whole world, aren’t you?”

Chu Feng was caught off guard by this sudden sweet talk, and what made him even more bashful was realizing that when Si Qi said this, his tone was very serious, without a hint of deceit.

Si Qi really meant it that way.

Chu Feng was so moved that he was momentarily at a loss for words.

The youth who had been solely focused on revenge, with a cold face devoid of emotion, now appeared exceptionally soft and genuine.

The video shot by the onlooking teenager quickly spread all over the internet.

The already expanding heat from the online trending, driven by this stunning turnaround, produced even more terrifying repercussions. Countless people thus fully understood the cause and effect of the incident, grasped the general situation of Si Qi and his family, and were so shocked that it was almost beyond words..

What kind of genius boy was this!

If it weren’t for Si Qi’s recent accidental injury, which gave him the opportunity to learn the knowledge from school and allowed him to create such an astonishing machine, he might still be doing hard labor incognito in that family, being laughed at for being foolish by everyone!

Voices of regret rose and fell on the internet, with even more hate directed at the family of three that had adopted Si Qi but treated him like a slave, utterly inhumane.

The father kept him busy from morning till night, with only the time at school to sleep and rest.

The mother forced him to work on weekends, took away all his personal money, and constantly declaring in public that his stepson was a hopeless fool, privately making things difficult for the poor child in unknown ways.

The younger brother was even more crazy, as a student not attending to his studies, hanging out with delinquents. After killing someone, his first reaction was to frame his innocent brother, repeatedly saying “he’s used to being treated like this by us”, simply heartless!

Under the outraged public, the three were taken away by the police, while Si Qi returned to the base under the guard of a group of soldiers.

Not long after, the verdict for the three came down.

Since no lives were lost, Si’s parents spent a huge sum as compensation and barely managed to bail themselves out. However, from then on, their faces were remembered by everyone, and no one would ever eat at their restaurant again or hire them for any work. With their savings depleted and no way out, their future days would definitely not be easy. Every minute and every second from now on, they would experience the torment that the original host suffered, a hundred times more painful, being ordered around and mocked by everyone, without a shred of care or comfort.

Father Si, who loved money as much as his life, found the inability to earn money more painful than death. Every time he thought about how successful the child he raised had become, and how he had missed out on such a large fortune due to his shortsightedness, he regretted it so much that he tossed and turned in bed, feeling chest tightness and breathlessness as if he was shortening his lifespan every moment.

Mother Si, who was narrow-minded and cared about her reputation, had relied on Father Si and Si Qi for decades, pampering herself and living a good life. Now suddenly wandering the streets with her husband and being constantly blamed by him, she soon became neurotic, muttering her dear son’s name all day long in a crazy manner, crying and making a scene, and occasionally fighting with her husband who despised her.

Si Songyi, who had killed someone, was sentenced to a suspended death sentence by the court. Every day he lived from then on was almost like counting down to his impending death. He was trembling with fear, like a prisoner thrown into a water dungeon, unable to struggle, unable to seek survival, suffering more than death itself.

Many prisoners who heard about what Si Songyi had done, seeing him crying for his parents and weeping every day, all came to teach him a lesson.

“Weren’t you good at bullying people? Who do you think you can bully here?”

“I may not be a good person, but I respect those scientists who contribute to society the most! You actually made your brother waste more than ten precious years, and even framed him, wanting him to go to jail! Do you know how many people you indirectly prevented from living a good life? Do you have any conscience?”

“Look at how delicate and tender his skin is, must have lived a good life by exploiting his brother! Brothers, let’s add some color to his face!”

Si Songyi cried heart-wrenchingly, continuously saying, “Spare me, spare me, ah! Don’t hit me!”

On the day before his execution, Mother Si, who seemed to have aged several decades and looked as haggard as an old woman, was given the opportunity to see her son.

Father Si did not come; he had no desire to see this unlucky individual.

The woman, with tears streaming down her face, looked at her son’s battered and bruised appearance and cried so hard she could barely breathe. She said, “Why should my precious son suffer such injustice? If it weren’t for that damned Si Qi, how could our family have ended up like this!”

Si Songyi pressed his palm against the glass, continuously begging his mother, “Mom, save me, get me out of here, I don’t want to die!! Go beg big brother, isn’t he a great scientist now? He’s the nation’s treasure! As long as he wants to help, there must be a way, Mom! Mom, please go beg him!”

Mother Si sobbed uncontrollably, repeatedly saying, “Of course, Mom wants to go find him, but Mom doesn’t have his contact information. The authorities have him under tight protection, and Mom can’t even get to see him… Why didn’t Mom treat him better before? Mom regrets it so much!!”

The visitation time soon ended, and the prison guards came to take away the uncooperative Si Songyi, while Mother Si cried heart-wrenchingly in the visitation room. She knew that this parting was forever, and she desperately banged on the glass, pleading with them not to take her son away, but no one would show them any mercy.

Everyone knew what these two seemingly pitiful individuals had actually done behind the scenes; there were no more cruel, heartless, selfish, and self-serving people in the world than them.

Also, the next day, as the gunshot rang out behind Si Songyi’s head. At seven o’clock in the evening, the news broadcast aired as scheduled, and many viewers sitting in front of their TVs were dumbfounded by the images on the screen, thinking they must be in a dream.

After the initial shock came unparalleled joy!

The nation announced that the controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor had successfully ignited! From then on, their country could use nuclear fusion power, which was cleaner, more environmentally friendly, and cheaper than coal!!

They were at the forefront of the entire world!!

On the screen, the young man who had just reached adulthood stood calmly in the control room, surrounded by jubilant and cheering researchers.

Another young man of similar age, beaming with joy, leaned in close to him and said something. Only then did Si Qi turn his gaze towards the camera, announcing the successful outcome of this experiment and stating that from now on, their country would step into a brand new era, with all industries related to electrical energy entering a phase of innovation.

The new era had arrived.

Time magazine featured his photo on its cover, and opening any webpage worldwide would bring up reports related to him.

From then on, no one would be unaware of his existence; his name symbolized the advent of a new century.

By this time, those impressively versatile yet affordably priced pet robots had already made their way into households everywhere.

Initially, due to the overwhelming number of buyers worldwide, the domestic market had to prioritize the needs of its own citizens. Many foreign friends could only look on longingly, unable to purchase one, and resorted to pulling strings to get acquaintances within the country to buy one for them, offering to compensate with ten times the price.

Unfortunately, due to the policy limiting purchases to one per person, few were willing to help out.

After all, this was a treasure that could save lives at critical moments; who would overlook their precious life for a bit of profit?

Moreover, since at least half the credit for Si Qi’s invention was “provided” by Chu Feng, the inspirer, Chu Feng smoothly became the agent, collaborating with the state to sell the pet robots, and thus his name caught the attention of countless business magnates.

Later, Chu Feng successively suggested that Si Qi create various animal robots with different performance emphases, leading to more and more new functions being developed by Si Qi and entering the market.

Following this, Si Qi plunged into the research of new inventions, maintaining a pace of updating every three months, introducing a variety of epoch-making inventions.

The public went from initial ecstasy and frenzied pursuit, to gradually adapting to the routine of frequenting Chu Feng’s company stores to shop, and finally to getting used to the pattern of Mr. Si releasing new products every so often, no longer getting so excited that they couldn’t sleep at night.

It took people more than two years to reach this point.

At the age of twenty, Si Qi didn’t seem to have changed much from before, except that his features appeared more mature, and his aloofness, maintaining a distant relationship with everyone, made him even more awe-inspiring and unapproachable.

Except for Chu Feng.

Chu Feng walked into the research lab with a smile, dressed in a sharp and handsome suit today, his eyes brimming with the confidence of a successful man.

He had just attended an international conference and, after getting off the plane, stopped by the research lab not far from the airport.

Seeing that Si Qi was indeed still busy with work, Chu Feng walked over and waited quietly for a while. When Si Qi’s work seemed to be at a temporary pause, he said, “Done with work?”

Si Qi glanced back at him, “You’re back? Come and take a look at this.”

Chu Feng walked over and examined it carefully, exclaiming in surprise, “You really made this thing?”

Si Qi nodded, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth, “A home self-service hair washing, cutting, and styling machine. This way, whether it’s washing hair, cutting hair, or changing hairstyles, it’s all convenient. No need to go to the barber shop; just sit down and it’ll be done in ten minutes at most.”

Chu Feng smiled sheepishly, “I just mentioned it in passing, and you really made it…”

Even though he was a scientist who had created so many world-changing inventions, he always spent his precious time fulfilling the quirky ideas Chu Feng casually mentioned, which made him feel a bit embarrassed…

And every time a new product was developed, he would think, Si Qi was really good to him…

Chu Feng thought with a bit of pride that every product in his company now was a showcase to the world of how good Si Qi was to him. Even thousands of years later, when people mention Si Qi’s name and his inventions, they would also mention Chu Feng’s name. He would be forever bound with Si Qi…

Just thinking about it made him so happy that his steps became lighter.

Not long after, the hair washing, cutting, and styling machine developed by Si Qi passed quality inspection and entered the market on a large scale.

Because the price was as affordable as ever, it quickly became a household electrical appliance as essential as a hair dryer.

Two months later, the state convened a grand meeting, and Si Qi, Chu Feng, along with a group of influential figures, attended. Hearing that Si Qi would also make an appearance, netizens flooded into the live broadcast room to get a close look at the big shot.

When Si Qi’s cold and elegant handsome face appeared on the screen, everyone went crazy: “Ahhh, my Brother Si is finally out!! Why can someone be so talented and so handsome!! Cheering for Brother Si!!”

“President Chu’s aura is also super strong! Sitting among a group of leaders, he doesn’t lose any momentum!”

“These two young talents are definitely the most eye-catching focus of the entire event!”

“Usually, you never see Boss Si Qi with such a soft expression. It’s really different when you meet a good friend; the whole person becomes gentler.”

“Yeah, look at this gaze. If it’s usually a howling cold wind and frosty face, then now it’s like a warm spring breeze in March, so warm, wuwuwu, I also want to be looked at by the boss like this…”

“Um, although I don’t want to fabricate anything about these two who have made huge contributions to the country, the way they smile at each other really makes people think crookedly…”

Not just netizens, but also those around Chu Feng and Si Qi in real life were secretly speculating about the relationship between these two.

After all, both regarded the other as more important than themselves, would do whatever the other said, and the tone and look in their eyes when they spoke were always quite ambiguous.

Could it be…

They were all a bunch of shrewd old foxes, and no one would say anything in front of the two protagonists at this moment.

But behind the scenes, in private settings, after Chu Feng had reported his work to the leader and was about to take his leave.

The kind old gentleman called out to Chu Feng and said to him with a smile, “What exactly is your relationship with Mr. Si?”

Chu Feng was puzzled, “What do you mean?”

The old man chuckled, “Are you two in a relationship? Be honest with us, are you already together?”

Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, his face instantly turned red, and he shook his head vigorously, stammering, “N-no! Not at all!”

The old man said cheerfully, “Your reaction doesn’t seem like nothing’s going on.”

Chu Feng hadn’t felt so flustered since he entered society. He walked out of the office in a daze, feeling a bit confused all the way.

When he came to his senses, he found that he had actually run to Si Qi’s office. He instinctively wanted to turn around and flee, but after taking one step, his other leg stuck to the spot and refused to move.

…In the end, he pushed open Si Qi’s door.

By now, it was very late. After Si Qi finished his work, Chu Feng took him home for dinner. The two sat facing each other, and Chu Feng ate without really tasting the food.

Si Qi glanced at him, “Are you sick?”

Chu Feng instinctively replied, “No?”

Si Qi: “But your face is very red.”

Chu Feng: “…………” This comment made his already nervous face turn even redder.

After a while, Chu Feng cautiously said, “Xiao Qi, we’ve been adults for a long time!”

Si Qi glanced at him, with a knowing smile: “Yes, what about it?”

Chu Feng coughed lightly and said, “I just think… our relationship… could it go a step further….

Si Qi propped his chin with his hand, smiling as he looked at him: “A step further? How much further?”

Chu Feng was somewhat annoyed that Si Qi was playing dumb on purpose, but also pleased with Si Qi’s seemingly acquiescent response, and couldn’t help but laugh: “What do you think?”

Si Qi looked into his lover’s smiling eyes and felt very happy.

For a moment, he lost the desire to tease the other and got up to walk over. Under Chu Feng’s incredulous gaze, he sat on his lap, wrapped his arms around the other’s neck, and playfully rubbed against a certain part of Chu Feng: “This close?”

Chu Feng was instantly aroused by Si Qi’s provocation, his limbs turning soft and weak, while his internal organs felt as if they were filled with an endless source of energy.

This energy quickly gathered in a certain place, making him both embarrassed and awkward. He wanted to cover it up, but that place was clearly being gently sat upon by Si Qi.

Si Qi watched as his lover’s face turned redder and redder, so red it seemed as if it could drip blood, and laughed even more joyfully. He leaned down slightly, gently kissed the corner of Chu Feng’s mouth, then slowly moved over, biting a lip with his teeth, licking it with his tongue, and whispered, “Do you want to try? I’ve already bought the stuff, it’s in my room.”

Chu Feng’s head exploded with a bang, leaving him dizzy and dazed, as if he were in a dream, unreal.

He had never been so stimulated in his life, every cell trembling and quivering, his teeth seemed to chatter, and his throat was extremely tight.

Feeling Chu Feng’s gradually heating body temperature, Si Qi buried his head in the crook of Chu Feng’s neck, raised his hand, gently stroked Chu Feng’s chest, and then one by one, unbuttoned Chu Feng’s shirt.

The atmosphere became increasingly ambiguous, Chu Feng seemed to sense something, lowered his head, and met Si Qi’s gaze.

The two looked into each other’s eyes for a few seconds, and couldn’t help but slowly draw closer. Si Qi’s eyes slightly closed, and Chu Feng indeed pressed his lips against them.

The room was so quiet that only the increasingly rapid breathing could be heard.

…

Chu Feng and Si Qi got together.

Looking at Chu Feng’s elated appearance, anyone could see it clearly.

Many elders who had silently worried that Si Qi’s personality was too cold and whether he would be lonely for a lifetime could finally rest assured upon seeing this.

They naturally knew what kind of person Chu Feng was. He was someone who regarded Si Qi’s matters as more important than his own. Not only was he considerate, but his methods were also sufficient, so everyone was not worried about entrusting Si Qi to him.

The leaders even took turns to privately find Chu Feng, reminding him to take good care of Mr. Si.

For a moment, Chu Feng even had the illusion that he was actually  ̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶ ̶o̶r̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶e̶n̶g̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶g̶a̶y̶ ̶a̶c̶t̶i̶v̶i̶t̶i̶e̶s̶, arranged by the state in a romantic relationship..

Apart from that, Chu Feng’s life didn’t seem to have changed much from the past.

The only change, perhaps, was that during Si Qi’s regular physical check-ups, certain aspects would be additionally inspected…

Ahem.

The nation was still very considerate!

After confirming their relationship, the two became even more inseparable, often appearing together in various public appearances, inseparable.

It wasn’t that no one outside suspected their relationship, but these two were not existences that could be casually slandered by media reporters within the country, so naturally, no similar reports could appear. Netizens mostly just secretly found it cute in private, feeling from the bottom of their hearts that when these two were together, every glance and turn of the head was filled with too strong a cp sense, they were simply too well-matched.

And in the days to come, the duo of Chu Feng and Si Qi would always bring all sorts of welfare to the world every now and then.

People knew that all of Si Qi’s inventions appeared after Chu Feng proposed them, and they would also thank Chu Feng. They praised him for thinking of the people, knowing what people really wanted. They looked forward to the appearance of his next “wish,” which would then be turned into reality by the “dream implementation machine” Si Qi, benefiting the whole world.

He and Si Qi collaborated for a lifetime and were happy and loving for a lifetime.

By then, the quality of life had already made a leap compared to the past. There was clean and efficient energy, lifelong all-Powerful Pets, and whether old or young, everyone had the most advanced AI assistants taking care of their daily lives. At home, high-tech household products saved time and effort, and when going out, the transportation vehicle from Si Feng’s company could go anywhere, very powerful.

Because life was so worry-free, people’s happiness index was gradually rising, and whether it was a major or minor illness, smart pets could always help with testing and take preventive measures in advance, the average lifespan actually increased by several years in one go compared to previous years. People were all expressing their feelings about how technology had changed life, while Si Qi changed technology.

What would be the next new product to be launched?
