After walking for a while, Huo Shiqian brought up the old affairs of the Bao Family.
The Bao Family was an old scholarly family, and although never extremely wealthy, generations had accumulated a substantial amount of wealth.
But later, it was all confiscated.
Only now has it been gradually returned.
Huo Shiqian spoke as if he was incredibly calm, but Xia Chuyi sensed the bitterness in his words.
She felt an immense sympathy and then solemnly said to Huo Shiqian, "Brother Shi Qian, I will take good care of Professor Bao and Mrs. Gu."
Xia Chuyi thought to herself that she must find a way to fully support Mrs. Gu’s health.
Her serious demeanor made Huo Shiqian unable to resist a smile, and he reached out to tousle her hair.
"I’d rather you call them ’Uncle’ and ’Aunt.’"
Soon they arrived at the dormitory building, and Xia Chuyi was about to say goodbye to Huo Shiqian.
"Chuyi, would you be willing to go to the Huo Family with me?" Huo Shiqian suddenly asked.
"What?" Xia Chuyi was startled and stuttered, "I, I, I’m not ready yet."
Huo Shiqian touched her head again and said, "No need to be nervous; I was just asking."
"I’ll wait for the day when you’re willing to come back with me," Huo Shiqian said calmly.
All of Xia Chuyi’s nervousness vanished in an instant.
Looking at Huo Shiqian, she finally said, "Brother Shi Qian, I promise, very soon, I will stand in a place where I am worthy to be by your side and face everything with you."
Huo Shiqian smiled and said, "Okay, I’ll wait for you."
Finally, Xia Chuyi reluctantly turned and headed back to her dormitory.
Once upstairs, Xia Chuyi at the dormitory window waved to Huo Shiqian, who then finally took his eyes off her and walked away.
"Chuyi, what are you doing?" her roommate in room 201 asked, noticing her unusual behavior and curiously inquiring.
"Nothing," Xia Chuyi said calmly.
However, Jiang Shuqin, who knew the situation, was not going to let it go so easily and came forward with a grin, hugged her, and said, "Chuyi, come to the hallway, I have some academic questions to ask you."
Saying so, she directly "dragged" Xia Chuyi out of the room.
Then, Jiang Shuqin cornered her and seriously interrogated, "Tell me honestly, where did you guys go?"
Seeing Jiang Shuqin’s serious face but the gossip gleaming in her eyes, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh and said, "We didn’t go anywhere, just stayed on campus."
"Really just in the school?" Jiang Shuqin widened her eyes, shaking her head as she found it hard to believe.
"Really," Xia Chuyi smiled.
Then she shared that Professor Bao was Huo Shiqian’s uncle.
"My goodness!" After hearing what Xia Chuyi said, Jiang Shuqin was truly shocked and exclaimed, "There are really such things in the world?"
"I only knew that Huo Shiqian’s stepmother’s surname was Su; I had no idea his biological mother’s surname was Bao!"
Jiang Shuqin said, "It seems like the elders are quite taboo and don’t talk much about Huo Shiqian’s biological mother."
Shaking her head, Jiang Shuqin said, "Chuyi, I have realized that you and Huo Shiqian are truly meant for each other!"
"No matter what, you end up together."
After hearing Jiang Shuqin’s words, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but smile and said, "What are you talking about!"
After sighing for a while, Jiang Shuqin said, "It seems like Professor Bao’s side has acknowledged you guys."
"But as for the Huo Family’s side, that remains to be seen."
