Xi Zuzi said unhurriedly, "Let’s talk about it after the high school exam results come out."
Gu Qiusha rubbed her hands expectantly, "Zuzi, you’re making Mommy lose sleep !"
Xi Zuzi thought for a moment, "No, wouldn’t you like me to tell you in advance? The high school exam score is probably just..."
Xi Ruzhu had been clenching her fists tightly, and hearing this, she finally couldn’t bear it anymore, whispering to Xi Yuanshan, "Dad, shall we go practice the piano? The teacher said I can challenge a more difficult piece today."
Xi Yuanshan also felt complicated, "Hmm, let’s go."
Gu Qiusha watched the father and daughter’s close backs fade away, and sighed lonely, "Forget it, Zuzi, don’t tell me in advance. Happy things can’t be fully enjoyed at once, or else there won’t be any left for later."
Xi Zuzi laughed, "Who knows, maybe we’ll all be happy in the future?"
Gu Qiusha smiled bitterly and waved her hand, "Mommy’s not greedy, as long as you sisters are well, I’m satisfied. Ah, you all must be hungry. Zuzi, Baby, let’s have dinner..."
Xi Rubao: "I want to eat prawns!"
But Xi Zuzi unhurriedly started, "Xiao Sha, isn’t your brother leaving from Qingcheng soon, aren’t you going to see him off?"
Gu Qiusha halted abruptly on her way to the kitchen, "Zuzi, what did you say?"
Xi Zuzi: "Gu Yuzhi didn’t tell you?"
Tsk, Xiao Yu is really shy.
How can he find being alone with no one to warm his bed enjoyable?
Gu Qiusha’s heart skipped a beat at the words, suddenly remembering that her brother texted her this morning but didn’t mention coming to Qingcheng.
She immediately dialed the phone angrily, "Gu Yuzhi, you bad guy, you didn’t even come to see me! Wait right there, I’m... I’m coming to see you!"
Gu Yuzhi, dressed in a lead-gray suit, sat alone on a long bench.
After putting down the phone, he couldn’t calm down.
He thought that Sha Sha would be so angry with him for hiding it that she’d ignore him.
Unexpectedly, she actually said she would come to see him.
Sha Sha was still so naive and cute, but...he was already old.
She always called him by his full name when she was angry, and Gu Yuzhi’s eyes instantly filled with tears.
"Sha Sha..." his voice was hoarse. He stood up immediately and saw Gu Qiusha rushing towards him like a bird flying into the woods.
He barely restrained himself from hugging her tightly and instead, gentlemanly, lightly supported her shoulders, "Sha Sha, it’s been years, and you’re still so beautiful..."
Behind them, Xi Zuzi stepped forward slowly, heard this and glanced at Gu Qiusha who had rushed out wearing pajamas, and thought knowingly: So this is what people in love see as beauty?
Tonight must be Xiao Sha’s least attractive moment, right?
Not only was she dressed sloppily, but she had also been crying just now, with swollen eyes.
Where’s the beauty in that?
Gu Qiusha blushed, not knowing if it was from running or embarrassment, "Brother, you’re so annoying! Do you look down on me? You came to Qingcheng on a business trip and didn’t even tell me."
Gu Yuzhi pressed his lips, "No..."
Not looking down, just didn’t want to disturb your happiness, afraid Xi Yuanshan would be upset if he saw me here.
"Just busy with work, the schedule was too tight."
Xi Zuzi casually said, "Busy? Xiao Yu, after you left our school last night, you weren’t busy with anything else."
Gu Yuzhi was extremely embarrassed, "..."
Turns out Xi Zuzi was Sha Sha’s kid, no wonder she seemed familiar!
This child...even more naive than Sha Sha!
Gu Qiusha pouted, "Exactly, since you’re not busy, you surely have time for a meal."
And so he was led off to a restaurant, Gu Yuzhi feeling like he was dreaming the whole time!
Sha Sha sat across from him, smiling like an adorable little deer, chatting non-stop, while he, just like old times, silently refilled her tea and peeled her shrimp, watching her eat contentedly and joyfully; he felt that even if he died today, his life would have no regrets.
The good times only lasted halfway through the meal.
At the table, Gu Qiusha received a call and suddenly her whole body froze, "Zhuzhu, what did you say? Your dad fainted? Blood is coming from the corners of his eyes and ears?"
