Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Can be Considered Childhood Sweethearts
Zhou Yuan said, “Just giving your word doesn’t count, you have to treat to a al for it to count.”
Sister Wang from the sa dorm had gone ho to see her husband and child, and Su ixi happened to have nothing to do, so she let Zhou Yuan send her the location, and she could take a taxi there.
The location Zhou Yuan had picked was a Michelin star restaurant in a mall, with an average spend of 2000 per person.
Su ixi didn’t find it strange; with the status of Zhou Yuan’s father, it was quite normal for them to eat at such a restaurant.
“Sister Su, over here!”
Zhou Yuan waved enthusiastically at Su ixi.
This ti when Su ixi saw Zhou Yuan, she felt an even better impression of her. The last ti they t was in a mall, and she was dressed like the girl next door. This ti, she wore a white dress that was well-tailored, appearing both cute and elegant.
Su ixi walked over, first smiled at Zhou Yuan, and then greeted Mr. Zhou politely.
“Sister Su, sit next to .”
“Okay.” Su ixi also felt more relaxed sitting next to Zhou Yuan.
Then ca the ordering. When the waiter ca to ask her what she wanted, Su ixi said she would have the sa as Zhou Yuan.
Last ti, she had ordered the sa as Gu Wei and it turned into a joke. This ti, ordering the sa as Zhou Yuan couldn’t possibly be a joke, right?
Zhou Yuan was about to say sothing, but Mr. Zhou smiled and said to the waiter, “Make it the sa as mine, otherwise, I’m afraid Dr. Su won’t be full.”
It wasn’t until all the food had arrived that Su ixi realized that Zhou Yuan had been on a diet recently, not eating any staples; she only wanted a small steak and a mushroom soup.
Although Mr. Zhou was a man, his appetite was average, a normal combination.
“Sister Su, how do you eat so much and not gain weight?” Zhou Yuan envied her greatly.
Su ixi said, “Maybe because I’ve been practicing fighting and Sanda lately, I’ve gained more muscle.”
“No wonder, I’ve noticed your figure is getting better and better, very curvy.”
Then Mr. Zhou spoke to his daughter, “So you see, if you want a good figure, you must exercise well. It’s only when you eat and drink well that you have the energy. Eating so little every day like you do, lacking strength, how is that healthy?”
Zhou Yuan pouted, “First I need to starve myself thin, then slowly sculpt my figure, I’m not talking to you about it, you don’t understand.”
“Looks good to be skin and bones? I really don’t understand you young people.”
“So you want to be chubby? Isn’t that just like raising a pig?”
“…” The father and daughter bickered back and forth, inciting imnse envy from Su ixi.
Her biological father was also in Guang City.
But it had been a long ti since they had contacted one another, and she even felt there was no need to.
After the al, Mr. Zhou had sothing to attend to and left first, leaving ti to the two girls, as they wouldn’t feel as free to talk if he was around.
Zhou Yuan dragged Su ixi to go shopping together, and Su ixi didn’t refuse.
She had been tension-filled with her studies all week, and relaxing now didn’t seem bad at all.
When girls go shopping, they just try on clothes and maybe have so milk tea or sothing.
The mall was air-conditioned and comfortable to walk around in.
As they were shopping, soone called out, “Xiao Xi.”
At that sound, Su ixi’s scalp went numb.
Why was Bi Yuanhang here, too?
“Sister Su, who is that?” Zhou Yuan also curiously looked at Bi Yuanhang.
Zhou Yuan had t Gu Wei before, a very tall man with a commanding presence, whereas this man in front of them was still quite handso, though in a refined way.
“He’s here with to study,” said Su ixi.
“Oh.” Zhou Yuan was a mature girl, and she could tell from Bi Yuanhang’s eyes that he fancied Su ixi.
It was normal for soone as pretty as Sister Su to be sought after.
Just didn’t know if Sister Su’s heart was steadfast.
Bi Yuanhang approached with enthusiasm, “Xiao Xi, what a coincidence, you’re at this mall too? And who’s this young lady?”
“It’s my friend,” said Su ixi simply.
“Are you not going to introduce us?” Bi Yuanhang asked.
“There’s no need.”
Bi Yuanhang was rejected, but he didn’t give up. Pointing towards a milk tea shop ahead, he said, “Xiao Xi, how about I treat you to a milk tea?”
“No thanks, I’m on a diet, can’t have that,” Su ixi declined bluntly, then pulled Zhou Yuan away.
Bi Yuanhang stood there for a few seconds.
The more Su ixi pushed him away, the more it showed that her heart wasn’t steady.
If it was steady, she would have treated him like an old friend.
Clearly, she was afraid to face her own feelings.
Once they were far away, Zhou Yuan curiously asked Su ixi, “Sister Su, was that guy just now trying to pursue you?”
Su ixi said, “Possibly, I’ve known him since childhood, you could say we are childhood sweethearts.”
“Childhood sweethearts? Then why can’t you be together?”
“He disappeared suddenly one day, it was only recently that he reappeared, but I already have a boyfriend, there’s no chance for us to be together.”
“Not even as normal friends?” Zhou Yuan asked curiously.
“No, I don’t want any misunderstandings, especially with my current boyfriend,” Su ixi said.
She didn’t have family and trusted few friends, so it was the sa to share so thoughts with Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan understood a bit and admired Su ixi even more, “Sister Su, you’re really a good girl. You know, if it were soone else, having so many good-looking n chasing after them, they would be pleased as punch every day. There’s a girl in our class who is always flitting between several n, calling this one ‘big brother,’ that one ‘male confidant.’ Everyone envies her, and I’m starting to doubt my own principles; shouldn’t soone like that be knocked senseless?”
Su ixi smiled, “I don’t understand what others think; I prefer things to be simple.”
Having a family was all she wanted.
And that family, Gu Wei had provided.
After sending Su ixi back to the Chinese Hospital, Zhou Yuan also returned to the hotel.
She ca on this trip following Mr. Zhou on business. Mr. Zhou often took her wherever he went, and when he was busy during the day, he’d let Zhou Yuan browse around nearby, which was a good way to gain experience.
When Mr. Zhou saw Zhou Yuan had returned, he inevitably asked, “Did you have fun going out today?”
“It was fun, Sister Su is really a good sister, she gave a lesson in morality.”
“A lesson in morality?”
Zhou Yuan told about Su ixi rejecting Bi Yuanhang.
After listening, Mr. Zhou couldn’t help but frown.
“Dad, why the frown? Did Sister Su not handle the situation right?”
Mr. Zhou said, “She did the right thing, but… n are not that simple.”
Especially n like Bi Yuanhang with high education and great prospects. If he had many tricks up his sleeve, Su ixi might not remain unwavering.
However, Mr. Zhou had no energy to deal with these matters, it was the Gu Family’s affair to handle.
Mr. Zhou said to Zhou Yuan, “I’m going to make a phone call.”
