"This will do."
After leaving the office, Nan Hua took Qiu Xi to find a small pavilion downstairs.
"Okay."
"Accompany me to eat a bit more."
Shaking her head, "I've already eaten with them and then came over."
"You eat, I'll watch."
"Okay."
"By the way, how did your discussion go today? Do you need any help?"
While eating and chatting, he thought that if they really opened such a shop, would his little girlfriend be even busier.
The person whose mind was full of thoughts completely failed to grasp that even without this matter, his little girlfriend was equally busy.
Just like him, both of them were now favored by the teachers.
"We've decided."
"Doesn't that mean there's no place for me to show my skills?"
Feeling a bit dejected, he had originally thought he could help.
"Huh? If there is in the future, I'll definitely look for you, okay?"
"That's more like it."
"Alright! Eat quickly!"
"Xi Xi, I just remembered something."
Looking at the person in front of him, Nan Hua suddenly remembered what his grandfather had been urging him about these past two days.
Qiu Xi asked, puzzled, "What is it?"
"It's just... my grandfather wants to meet you."
There was no other way, his parents were playing truant from time to time, so his grandfather had focused all his attention on him, his grandson.
Ever since returning from Jinhai City, he received a call every day, and as soon as he got home, he would see his grandfather's Maitreya-like smile at the entrance.
He didn't know what his grandfather was thinking, but he was clearly too idle.
"What did you say? Your grandfather!"
It was just the beginning, and she hadn't even considered meeting his parents, let alone his grandfather.
"Did you... did you go back and talk nonsense?"
He said nonchalantly, even taking the opportunity to pick up another bite, "Then you're really wronging me! The old man is eager to meet his granddaughter-in-law himself."
"......"
"What granddaughter-in-law! I don't acknowledge it!"
"That's not up to you!"
The person who had been eating happily, upon hearing this, shoved the food he had just picked up into her mouth to shut her up!
"Mmmph! You..."
With such a sudden move, she could only swallow the food before speaking.
"Why isn't it up to me!"
Who told you you were tied down so early! kan shu wu. xi a
"Why aren't you talking anymore?"
"Xi Xi, if you keep talking, this mouthful of food won't be the only thing stopping your mouth anymore!"
He grinned wickedly, clearly with ill intentions.
She shot him a reproachful glance. Although very angry, she still chose to shut her mouth.
Sometimes, a man's desire for revenge was no less than a woman's.
"Regarding meeting Grandpa Nan..."
After thinking about it, she felt it was best to sort this out first. She wasn't ready yet, and didn't want to meet the parents so soon.
"Alright, whenever you say we'll meet, we'll meet."
Seeing the worried look on his little girl's face, Nan Hua knew exactly what she was thinking.
Although he really wanted to, he didn't even have a proper title in the little girl's eyes yet!
He couldn't ruin his future prospects in one go; he had to proceed gradually.
"You're serious."
"Mhm!"
"Nan Hua, I love you!"
In her excitement, Qiu Xi leaned over and kissed him, a brief touch before pulling away.
Nan Hua smiled as he touched his lips, "Mhm... that's not enough!"
"Then there's nothing we can do~ You should see where we are."
She said it with a bit of smugness, relying on the fact that they were in public.
Nan Hua touched the corner of his lips and looked at the person smiling gleefully. He didn't mind and directly said, "It's okay, we'll have plenty of opportunities later!"
He wasn't afraid of not being able to handle her!
"......"
Speechless! That was just too shameless!
Her level was still a bit too low!
"I think you've just eaten too much!" She made a move to clear away the food containers on the stone table.
If she wasn't good at this, they could switch to something she was good at.
"Don't! I won't tease you anymore!"
Eating was important, especially when the food was this delicious.
"Then hurry up and shut up."
It was too cheap for you. If I had known, I would have just made something simple.
"......" Can't afford to provoke you!
"But Xi Xi, you still need to seriously consider what I just said!"
When they were about to part ways back at the dormitory building, Nan Hua mentioned what he had said earlier.
Everything else was negotiable, but she was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer at his grandfather's place, and then his grandfather would come looking for her directly.
"Alright, I remember. I'm going back now."
After saying that, Qiu Xi walked into the dormitory building.
......
A few days later, new student enrollment—
"I've been sitting here and my mouth has gotten so dry."
As new students came and went for registration, the same words were probably repeated countless times.
This class advisor, despite looking glamorous on the surface, was actually not a very good job.
"Just endure it. Think of the senior students back then, and you'll understand."
"Mhm."
Qiu Xi and the others weren't doing much better. They had been rushing between the registration office and the dormitory building all morning, and sometimes they had to guide people who needed help to find their way.
"But your thirst-quenching artifact has arrived!"
Just as they were chatting, Liang Yunfei saw Zhao Huasheng walking towards them.
"Mhm?"
"Zhao Huasheng! Why are you here?"
Logically, shouldn't everyone be very busy today?
"You really have to thank our department; it's barely a monastery, so sometimes it's really convenient."
"......"
This description wasn't exactly elegant, but it hit the nail on the head.
"Here!"
This was the first step in pursuing a girlfriend; one had to pop up from time to time, otherwise, one wouldn't know when someone else would snatch her away.
Just in case, he had bought a few more cups, and it happened that her roommates were also here.
This was the second step in pursuing a girlfriend; sometimes, appeasing her close friends and saying a few "pillow talk" words might get you twice the result with half the effort!
"Then we won't be polite."
Being old acquaintances, the girls didn't refuse and directly accepted the drinks.
"Yunfei, are you free? Can you guide these two junior students?"
"Coming!"
"We're leaving now, you guys chat slowly."
As soon as they started drinking, the person was called away.
"Go ahead."
"Dai Yao, do you want to grab lunch together later?"
Glancing around, it was a time when there weren't many people, so Zhao Huasheng asked.
"Sure, but it might be a little later."
Looking at the messages in the group chat, Song Dai Yao nodded.
"Okay!"
It didn't matter if it was later or not; it was enough as long as it was with you!
