By the time Gu Yu Cheng returned home, Mrs Gu, who was in the living room, had finished two episodes of a TV drama.

Wait, Gu Yu Cheng! Seeing that her son had returned, Mrs Gus eyes twinkled, and she stopped Gu Yu Cheng.

When Mrs Gu saw that Gu Yu Cheng had stood still, she looked up and down examining him and asked, Let me ask you, whats the relationship between you and Su Rui?

Liu Yue didnt say too explicitly on the phone, and Mrs Gu couldnt really ask about the details. Thus, she had to wait for her son to come back to clarify her doubts.

Even though Yu Jing sounded like she was probing into this matter, it wasnt difficult to notice that Mrs Gu was in a good mood at the moment as she had a trace of excitement that couldnt be concealed on her feigned serious expression.

Its just like what you know. Gu Yu Cheng said as he looked towards Mrs Gu. After a pause, his eyes moved slightly, and he added, Im pursuing her.

You? When Mrs Gu heard what Gu Yu Cheng had said, the surprise in Mrs Gus heart became astonishment.

You are saying that you are pursuing Rui Rui? Mrs Gu knitted her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yu Cheng inquisitively.

My son, who is like a stone, actually has a day where he is pursuing a girl?

Was he suddenly enlightened?

If it was in the past that is a few months ago, Mrs Gu would never expect that such a sentence would come out of Gu Yu Chengs mouth one day.

But, regarding what Gu Yu Cheng has said, Mrs Gu didnt doubt him at all.

She understands his son well. It would be true when Gu Yu Cheng said he is pursuing her. If there was nothing between both of them, Gu Yu Cheng would never say this.

This was the reason why Yu Jing didnt believe in Mr Bai and Mrs Bai when they came to visit and stated that Gu Yu Cheng and their daughter had a thing for each other during the time when the Bai family faced a mishap.

Yes. Gu Yu Cheng nodded his head. As he thought about Su Rui, the corner of his lips lifted unconsciously and added, I like her.

When Mrs Gu heard this, she was stunned at first. Then, she immediately nodded.

Thats true. It was reasonable for her son to be suddenly enlightened since even she likes the Su familys daughter very much.

But

You have to explain to me clearly this time. You have to think it through as well. Dont cause any misunderstanding again. Mrs Gu furrowed her brows and said as she looked towards Gu Yu Cheng.

After saying that, Mrs Gu mumbled to herself, Dont let me be happy for nothing again.

Mrs Gus words can be regarded as a disguised admission of Gu Yu Chengs words.

She was afraid that these two children would cause a misunderstanding and reconcile later again.

By that time, even if she could accept it, the Su family probably wouldnt be willing to do so.

Its their daughter.

With this in mind, Mrs Gu couldnt help saying, You see, Ru Rui is a beautiful and sensible child and she isnt like other familys daughters who are clingy and rambunctious. Besides, I trust in how Liu Yue brought up her child, so

Shes very good. Gu Yu Cheng said without hesitation as he continued Yu Jings sentence.

It was rare for once that Gu Yu Cheng agreed to what Yu Jing was saying.

Im glad you know that. Concealing the happiness and smug in her eyes, Mrs Gu feigned a glare at Gu Yu Cheng as she said.

But let me tell you, this girl isnt like your other friends. When you interact with her, you have to be patient. Dont wear that stony expression of yours all-day, do you understand? Remember to be attentive with everything Looking at Gu Yu Cheng, she couldnt control her urge to remind him of these responsibilities.

For once, Gu Yu Cheng didnt find it annoying and listened to what Mrs Gu was saying.

Are you done? Gu Yu Cheng knitted his eyebrows and added, Is there anything else you would like to add?

Hmph, if I say more about it , you would get annoyed.. Seeing that her sons expression implying that #she is too naggy, Im reluctantly listening to her, she got very irritated.

Regardless of whether you are happy to listen to this or not, I have to emphasize to you once more. After glaring at Gu Yu Cheng, Mrs Gu said solemnly, Rui Rui is still young. Dont fool around with her.

When Gu Yu Cheng heard what Mrs Gu had said, he instinctively frowned, before his calm facade seemed to flicker.

Su Rui didnt know what was going on in the Gu house.

After saying goodnight to Gu Yu Cheng in WeChat, she immediately went to sleep without scrolling through Moments when she recalled that she has to wake up early tomorrow.

The next day, she woke up from the noise and went downstairs. Looking at Su Rui who got up earlier than yesterday, Liu Yue was surprised.

Rui Rui, why are you up so early? Liu Yue looked towards Su Rui with an astonished expression and questioned.

Its the weekend, and she woke up earlier than when she has lessons.

En, Im going out in a moment, so I have to get up early and tidy up. Su Rui smiled and said to her mother.

As for why it was an hour earlier than yesterday.

Well, she didnt want to say that the reason was so that she could try to make the sweet soup that Mother Su cooked that day in the kitchen.

On that day, when Mother Su heard that her daughter was interested in learning how to make the sweet soup, Liu Yue asked the kitchen auntie to prepare the ingredients for the sweet soup.

After hearing Mother Sus footsteps, Su Rui walked into the kitchen and realised a problem. She didnt do any preparation at all yesterday because she was caught up with chatting with someone.

Not to mention the sweet soup has to be concocted for one or two hours, even the beans and other ingredients have to be soaked for one night in advance.

Forget it, I will treat it as someone is out of luck.

Su Rui comforted herself after feeling slightly regretful.

Then, just like yesterday, she asked the kitchen auntie to prepare a breakfast that could be conveniently taken-away.

Su Rui was calm, but Mrs Su wasnt calm at all.

You are going out early in the morning?

Going out to play? Liu Yue frowned and asked.

With who? Liu Yue questioned. As she looked around, she immediately thought of something and asked again, With Gu Yu Cheng?

After asking this, Liu Yue saw Su Rui nodding her head in agreement. Liu Yues eyebrows knitted even more.

Although Liu Yue knew about the Gu familys circumstances and had faith in Gu Yu Cheng because their parents arranged both of their blind dateshowever, for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that Su Rui was going out with Gu Yu Cheng.

However, her child has grown up. As parents, it wouldnt be right to intervene in her affairs.

She sighed in her heart and looked towards Su Rui and finally reminded, You have to return to school tomorrow. Girls shouldnt stay out too late. You have to return home before 9 pm, do you hear me?

Hearing what Mother Su has said, Su Rui knew that she was worried for her and she didnt feel repelled and nodded her head.

I understand, Mum. Su Rui said with a smile. She fluttered her eyelashes and added, Dont worry, Ive also made an appointment with Ms Li Na to teach me in the evening. I cant be late.

Su Rui had passed all eight exams last week. However, her abilities were merely making through it by randomly guessing, and it would be right to say that she has a superficial knowledge of it.

It would be fine for those courses that are useless after the examinations. They are mainly the few basic modules that would hinder her learning if she didnt understand the foundation.

Though, there is Gu Yu Cheng, who is a super external aid.

But, Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui have things they are busy with, and they are not in junior high school where they can treat self-study together as a date and notes as a gift.

It will be alright if its to ask one or two questions and talk about some academic questions occasionally. If Su Rui really wants to sit down and understand it, she has to trouble Ms Li Na.

After saying this, she listened to her mother, emphasizing it twice. Then, she finally was released to doll herself up.

Recalling the trace of amazement in Gu Yu Chengs eyes in the car yesterday, Su Rui smiled and slightly elongated her eyeliner as she was putting on makeup today.

Because Su Rui woke up early today, she finished dolling herself up much earlier than yesterday.

With yesterdays experience, Su Rui didnt want until 9 oclock to send a message to Gu Yu Cheng. She made sure that her makeup, clothes and accessories in the mirror were okay and sent a message to Gu Yu Cheng immediately.

Sure enough, Gu Yu Cheng has already arrived.
