Melon-Loving Kid Handed Over to the State: Clinging to the Big Thigh and Thriving

Melon-Loving Kid Handed Over to the State: Clinging to the Big Thigh and Thriving Plot:

Orphaned kid Xiaotang’s favorite pastime is squatting outside the Chinese Academy of Sciences “eating melons”—not gossiping, just devouring watermelons. One day, she accidentally spills melon juice on Professor Lu Shi’s nanomaterial sample (stuck for half a year)—and the sample unexpectedly synthesizes successfully! The academy discovers Xiaotang has a unique superpower: sensing material compatibility through food taste. The cold, rigid Professor Lu initially sees her as a nuisance, but Xiaotang uses her ability to solve his project crisis and mediate the years-long rift between him and an aloof senior researcher. By “clinging to the country’s big thigh,” Xiaotang not only helps the academy secure a national project but also goes from “unwanted melon-eater” to the beloved “little lucky star” of the academy. And Lu Shi learns: the greatest “scientific achievement” isn’t a breakthrough—it’s learning to love and be loved.
