This night was destined to be a sleepless one for so people, destined to be a night where they could talk endlessly in bed.
Of course, it didn’t just belong to Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao.
Tonight, in the sa city, also lying in bed with the lights off and whispering, were Shen Yu, who had just t Pu Sangzhi, and their horoom teacher Huo Mingshan, who took pride in Pu Sangzhi!
Shen Yu had always had a good impression of Pu Sangzhi, and after seeing her tonight, her impression had only improved!
Not to ntion anything else...
Just tonight, at the tersbonwe Store, the incident she heard about really made Shen Yu even more pleased with the outstanding Pu Sangzhi!
Lying in bed, Shen Yu started talking to her husband Huo Mingshan about the incident in the store, and about how upright and just Pu Sangzhi was in handling it. She went on praising Pu Sangzhi extravagantly, making it sound absolutely fantastic!
It was only then that Huo Mingshan knew that Shen Yu had been taken to see Pu Sangzhi by Huo Feng tonight!
But that wasn’t the main point.
The main point was, after Shen Yu got back, she couldn’t stop singing Pu Sangzhi’s praises...
Huo Mingshan also felt very comfortable listening to these words!
No matter what, Pu Sangzhi was also his precious student, and hearing others praise Pu Sangzhi was like hearing them praise himself.
He couldn’t help feeling proud and even more proud!
"I really think that Sangzhi, that kid, doesn’t have a single flaw! How can there be such a perfect child in this world? Today, I almost wished I could visit her ho, chat with her mom, and ask how she raised such an excellent child! Ah..."
Shen Yu sighed a long sigh towards the dark ceiling, feeling both lancholy and joyful, "Now, just thinking about our Xiaofeng being able to marry Sangzhi in the future makes feel so relieved! You don’t know, after eating with her, I really regretted not bringing my family heirloom with ! If I had brought it, I would have given it to her right then, to secure her first! Such a wonderful wife, if you don’t reserve her in advance, you won’t be able to find soone like her even with a lantern!"
Hearing her talk like this, Huo Mingshan couldn’t help but laugh, "Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen the world."
"Oh, I’m the one who’s never seen the world?"
Shen Yu slapped Huo Mingshan on the shoulder, "Why don’t you try and bring another daughter-in-law like her from the wide world out there! I don’t believe that you could find a second girl who is as excellent and beautiful as Sangzhi! The key point is that our Xiaofeng likes her, and Xiaofeng liking her is the most important thing!"
"Ha, his liking her counts for what?"
On this point, Huo Mingshan scoffed, "Let’s not even talk about him for now; let’s talk about Sangzhi’s character, her looks, her knowledge, her life insights—how does our son even match up to her? That our son has gradually moved her is already a blessing from our ancestors! If he can marry her in the future, that would be a good thing. If he can’t, don’t be too disappointed, our son only has that much to offer, you know that well enough."
"Hey, what do you an our Xiaofeng only has that much to offer?"
Shen Yu, not convinced, hurriedly defended Huo Feng, "Our Xiaofeng is also very outstanding! You didn’t know, today I sat in that store, watching Xiaofeng co out with Sangzhi, with his tall and sturdy figure by her side, her temperant completely overshadowed his reckless vibe. The two of them standing together looked so good! He even looked more serious! I believe, just let Sangzhi be with him for a few more years, he will surely beco more serious, surely he will be guided onto the right path by her! She is a girl with such integrity!"
"That’s true, Sangzhi is upright, that’s for sure,"
Huo Mingshan raised his hand and said, "It’s just that Huo Feng is mischievous, and I’m afraid that one day, he might lead Sangzhi astray. Actually, I’ve always been worried he might ruin Sangzhi’s life, that’s my only concern. Honestly, your idea is good, if Sangzhi could straighten him out, and in the future, the two of them hand in hand walking into our ho, indeed it would bring us glory!"
"See, you’re also picturing this scene, aren’t you!"
Shen Yu slapped Huo Mingshan on the chest again, "Then you as a teacher and a parent should try to bring them together more. Let tell you, if you don’t make an effort, Sangzhi will soon be chased away by soone else’s family! She’s not our family’s person yet, she’s free!"
Huo Mingshan "tsked" and annoyingly pulled the blanket, "You’re talking nonsense again. They are just high school students; it’s too early for them to discuss these matters! Sangzhi herself also said she wouldn’t date in high school, and isn’t Huo Feng respecting that?"
"My concern is reasonable!"
Shen Yu imdiately turned over, propping her head on one hand and looking directly at Huo Mingshan with wide eyes, "Hey, let tell you, tonight I ran into the wife of Principal Han from your school and her son. Do you know what the relationship between her son and Sangzhi is?"
Huo Mingshan naturally nodded, "I know, aren’t they working at the sa store? I even visited them both, so what about it?"
Shen Yu imdiately continued, "What I’m telling you is about what happened at the store tonight. It was Principal Han’s son who t with misfortune, and Sangzhi helped him! You don’t know, after we left the store tonight, Principal Han’s wife and her son kept pulling Sangzhi into endless conversation! Principal Han’s wife even persuaded her son to add Sangzhi on WeChat!"
Huo Mingshan felt that sothing was off upon listening and couldn’t help but frown, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes! That’s why I feel uneasy, I’m afraid of my daughter-in-law being snatched away by soone else!"
Shen Yu said so, "Being a woman myself, I could tell at a glance what kind of look Principal Han’s wife had for Sangzhi. Her eyes were just like mine when I stared at Sangzhi, wishing she could imdiately beco my daughter-in-law!"
Huo Mingshan started to think Shen Yu might have a point, "There really is such a thing..."
Shen Yu then said, "That’s why I regret not bringing out my heirloom. If I had known that soone else was eyeing Sangzhi, I would have figured out a way to secure her earlier! I’m just afraid that our Xiaofeng isn’t competitive enough! And bear in mind, that is the principal’s son—a prominent family background, several classes above ours, a condition I am almost embarrassed to speak of."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Huo Mingshan nodded repeatedly, "Indeed can’t compare with the principal. But, Sangzhi probably isn’t the type to forget loyalty for opportunity, right? Besides, she obviously has feelings for Huo Feng and doesn’t fancy the principal’s son!"
"Where did you get the confidence to say that?"
Shen Yu disapprovingly glanced sideways at Huo Mingshan, "At least the other has a principal for a father. Look at what Xiaofeng has for family background, and then look at yourself. At the top, there’s at least a secretary for a dad, a second-generation official. What about Xiaofeng? His parents just poor teachers, you yourself without money or power, giving Xiaofeng no advantage whatsoever! So he has to rely on himself alone when pursuing girls; look how pitiful that is..."
Huo Mingshan: "..."
Pursuing girls by himself... is that really so pitiful?
Huo Mingshan couldn’t understand Shen Yu’s words.
Shen Yu clapped Huo Mingshan on the shoulders, "I don’t care, I have decided on Sangzhi as my daughter-in-law. You better take advantage while you’re still Sangzhi’s head teacher for these few years, and help match Sangzhi with Xiaofeng. If it’s not settled in these few years, once she goes to university, you’ll lose your value to her."
"Nonsense! What value to use! You are thinking of all sorts of nonsense!"
Huo Mingshan vehently retorted Shen Yu, "Once a teacher, always a father! Even if Sangzhi graduates, I will always be her teacher, and she must always call ’Teacher’!
Shen Yu asked, "Don’t you want her to call you ’Dad’?"
Huo Mingshan: "...I do."
Shen Yu: "Help your son."
Huo Mingshan: "I don’t want to."
Shen Yu: "If you don’t help, you’re not his dad!"
Huo Mingshan sighed helplessly, "Oh, stop making trouble. I can only turn a blind eye and not ddle in their affairs. If you really want to manage, I would definitely stop them from being together and forbid them from dating in high school. That’s my code as a teacher!"
"Oh!"
Shen Yu huffed, "Then just wait for Principal Han’s son to win Sangzhi over, and for Principal Han’s wife to hold Sangzhi’s hand and smile at you!"
Huo Mingshan: "..."
Such a scene was not what Huo Mingshan wanted to see!
Deep down, Huo Mingshan still hoped... if only Sangzhi could beco his daughter-in-law!
Yet, he still lacked confidence in Huo Feng...
