Maybe because they are both men, Gu Yuzhi was the first to sense that Bao Gucheng was looking at Zuzi with the kind of gaze a man has for a woman.
He felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.
However, Gu Qiusha had no wariness towards Bao Gucheng and approached warmly, saying, "Teacher, if you have time today, could you give Zuzi some more tutoring to help improve her grades?"
Bao Gucheng was just contemplating an excuse to take Zuzi away when Gu Qiusha’s words were like giving a pillow to a sleepy person, perfectly timed.
He nodded reservedly, "Sure. Miss Gu."
This "Miss Gu" made Gu Qiusha blossom with joy.
Not Mrs. Xi, not Ms. Gu, but the Miss Gu from her younger days!
"Ah, young people these days are very good with words, nobody has called me that in years, it sounds so intimate," she sighed with some sentiment, leaning against Gu Yuzhi, "Teacher, may I ask your surname?"
"No need to be formal, my surname is Bao." Bao Gucheng also gently placed his arm around Zuzi, exuding a natural and unintrusive closeness.
"Ah, Mr. Bao! May I ask, what’s the significance of you holding that sunflower?"
"It’s to wish Miss Zuzi to achieve great success."
"Great success? Ah, holding up a sunflower... great success! You’re hoping she’ll be the top scorer in the college entrance exam? How creative!"
Even Zuzi raised her eyebrows this time. She realized that sunflowers had such an amusing and fitting symbolism. The young man really put thought into it.
Considering the makeup and adornments of all the parents present, Bao Gucheng stood out, making them all seem lackluster.
The dignified man with the passionately blooming sunflower looked more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Miss Gu is also putting in great effort," Bao Gucheng gentlemanly glanced at Gu Qiusha’s red cheongsam, "To achieve victory, right?"
Gu Qiusha couldn’t handsome guy more.
Despite his cold demeanor, his words were sweet as honey.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Bao, let me tell you a secret, my red cheongsam is to wish Zuzi to achieve victory, and the check mark on her uncle’s outfit is to wish her to get every question right!"
Gu Yuzhi turned bright red beside them.
To make his sister happy, he wore, for the first time, an outfit covered in brand check marks.
Bao Gucheng and Gu Qiusha chatted happily.
"Miss Gu, tonight I’ll arrange some suitable exercises for Zuzi. Now I’m taking her somewhere quiet for self-study."
"Great, great, Zuzi is in your hands then, please take care of her."
Beside them, Gu Yuzhi opened his mouth, wanting to stop them.
Bao Gucheng glanced over swiftly and politely responded to Gu Qiusha first: "You’re welcome. This is something I should do since your father asked me to tutor Miss Zuzi. I dare not slack off."
He actually brought up Mr. Gu to hold his ground.
Bao Gucheng, you’re cunning!
Gu Yuzhi felt alarms going off in his head.
The more he looked at Bao Gucheng, the more he seemed like a cunning wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Yet all the women in the house, one after the other, trusted this man deeply, smiling broadly, making it hard for him to be the lone dissenting voice.
Bao Gucheng seemed about to successfully take Zuzi away.
Who knows whether they’re going to study or do something else.
Gu Yuzhi was almost desperate as he finally found an excuse to intervene: "Wait, the quietest place doesn’t need to be sought out, Sha Sha’s house already has one! Zuzi’s bedroom on the top floor is very quiet!"
Having said that, he felt in his urgency, something seemed a little off.
Before the lawyer could figure out what was wrong, Bao Gucheng had already decisively agreed: "Okay, we’ll review in Miss Zuzi’s bedroom then."
After all, last time he attempted to go upstairs for a drink of water, he was turned away.
He hadn’t seen her small bed yet!
