It was not until the day before the National Day holiday that Su Qingqing finally finished all the courses for her freshman year. She even found time to take a lot of foreign language classes.

Looking at the dozen or so new courses added to the Consciousness School, Su Qingqing gathered her blanket around her, snuggled into her first-class seat, and began to study with satisfaction.

Jiang Nian glanced at the "sleeping" Su Qingqing, and unconsciously recalled Yu Xingye's frighteningly gloomy face when they parted at the airport just now.

They stood aside cautiously, not daring to breathe. Fortunately, Su Qingqing pulled Yu Xingye away in time.

I don’t know how she coaxed him, but after he came back, Yu Xingye’s mood improved visibly. Even when she helped Su Qingqing carry her backpack, Yu Xingye said “thank you” very seriously.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian looked at Su Qingqing with even more admiration.

Xu Ruyi also saw Su Qingqing fell asleep at this time, and whispered to Jiang Nian: "Qingqing and him haven't confirmed their relationship yet?"

Jiang Nian: “Not yet.”

Xu Ruyi sighed: "Is this the fun between young lovers?"

As soon as the three got off the plane, they saw the two families' parents chatting happily. Before they could drag their suitcases over, Su's mother spotted them.

"Here here!"

After saying goodbye to the Xu family’s three members, Su Qingqing received a WeChat message as soon as she got into the car.

Xingxing: [Are you home yet? ]

Su Qingqing subconsciously unlocked her phone and began to report her itinerary.

Qing: [Almost there. I just reunited with my parents. My dad is driving us home now.]

Ever since Yu Xingye learned that Su Qingqing was going home during the National Day holiday, he would share his itinerary with Su Qingqing every day. Under his guidance, Su Qingqing also developed the habit of consciously reporting her itinerary.

But Su Qingqing accepted this one-for-one model well, and even when she found out that Yu Xingye did it on purpose, she just turned a blind eye.

Mother Su noticed that Su Qingqing's mouth was constantly curled up and her fingers were typing quickly, and she had some guesses in her mind.

"baby."

Su Qingqing: "What's wrong, mom?"

Mother Su looked at her sideways with a smile: "Did you meet someone you like at school, honey?"

"I did meet someone I like, but not at school." Su Qingqing had no intention of hiding it. "We met when we went to Lucheng."

Mother Su thought about it, but all she had in Lucheng were memories of her and Father Su's world. The only people she could think of were the Zheng siblings. But she also knew that Su Qingqing only regarded Zheng Boqiu as an ordinary friend.

Mother Su was in deep thought for a long time, and the car was silent for a while.

Su Qingqing smiled as she watched her mother Su thinking hard. Jiang Nian held back her laughter and didn't intend to spoil the plot. When Su's father found out that his baby had someone she liked, his face turned extremely grim, let alone talking.

Mother Su really couldn't think of anything. She was afraid that she had guessed wrong, so she asked hesitantly, "Is it someone related to the Zheng family?"

Unexpectedly, Mother Su saw Su Qingqing nodded seriously.

"He's Zheng Yinqiu's uncle." Su Qingqing didn't keep it a secret this time. "He's nine years older than me and he's very kind to me."

Mother Su's focus was unique: "Is he handsome?"

Su Qingqing and Jiang Nian both laughed.

Su Qingqing laughed even louder when she thought of how Yu Xingye had held her tightly in the morning and had been whispering and acting coquettishly to get benefits for him.

“Very handsome.”

Mother Su was very satisfied, but Father Su snorted coldly: "Being handsome can't be eaten, can he cook?"

Su Qingqing really didn't know, because the two of them hadn't confirmed their relationship yet, and Yu Xingye was afraid that it would disgust her, so he rarely brought her home. And Su Qingqing couldn't cook, so the two of them wouldn't talk about this topic.

Father Su, however, took Su Qingqing's silence as a tacit agreement and smiled triumphantly: "What kind of man is he if he can't cook?"

Su Qingqing did not argue, and quickly coaxed: "Even if you can cook, it will definitely not be as delicious as Dad's, don't you think?"

Su Qingqing looked for help at Su's mother and Jiang Nian who were laughing secretly.

Mother Su put away her gloating smile and comforted Father Su: "My husband's cooking is the best."

Jiang Nian also nodded repeatedly: "I haven't eaten my father's food for this month, and I've become thinner due to hunger."

Father Su looked at Jiang Nian's increasingly round face and shamelessly accepted the compliment: "I'll make a big meal for you when we get home later!"

Finally, Su Qingqing was relieved after coaxing Father Su into submission. Seeing her like this, Jiang Nian patted the back of her hand soothingly: "Don't worry."

Su Qingqing leaned relaxedly on Jiang Nian, looking at her parents in the front row, her eyes full of smiles.

"I'm not worried. Mom and Dad will definitely like him."

Su Qingqing continued with evil intentions: "Mom and Dad like Zheng Boqiu very much, too."

Jiang Nian was embarrassed and annoyed: "He and I are just friends."

Su Qingqing smiled and didn't intend to expose her self-deception: "Yeah, friend."

Jiang Nian's face turned even redder.

night.

Su Qingqing was lying on the bed and about to call Yu Xingye when she heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Come in."

When Su's mother opened the door, she saw Su Qingqing lying on the bed with wet hair. She asked her where the hair dryer was and lectured her: "Do you know that sleeping with wet hair will give you a headache?"

Su Qingqing listened to her mother's muttering with a smile and did not say anything in reply.

Mother Su couldn't do anything about her. She just gently tapped her forehead with her finger and said, "You, I don't know if he can control you."

Mother Su tried the temperature of the hair dryer before starting to blow-dry Su Qingqing's hair.

The faint hum of the hair dryer woke Su Qingqing up from her sleepiness. She yawned and said, "Mom, why did you come to see me so late?"

Mother Su never came to disturb Su Qingqing before she was getting ready to go to bed.

Mother Su turned off the hair dryer, touched Su Qingqing's dry hair, and hesitated.

Su Qingqing: "Mom?"

When Mother Su heard these two words, she instantly gained courage and smiled lovingly at Su Qingqing.

"Our baby has grown up, and there are some things I need to talk to you about."

Su Qingqing was a little surprised. She sat up and faced Su's mother, listening attentively.

"Baby, the times are different now than they were back then. Just listen to what mom says."

Mother Su looked seriously at her daughter who was becoming more and more dazzling.

"Some things happen between adults and it's very common. Mom hopes you can protect yourself, but don't take it too seriously, and don't feel ashamed about it."

Su Qingqing didn't expect that her mother, who had always been conservative, would take the initiative to tell her these things. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by her mother.

Mother Su patted Su Qingqing's hand and asked her to listen to her first.

"Being with someone you love is a very beautiful thing, but it doesn't mean we have to sacrifice everything for it. I hope you do everything because you want to do it, not because of others or the outside world forcing yourself."

Mother Su gently touched the corners of Su Qingqing's eyes, which were slightly red. Su Qingqing was trying hard to hold back her tears.

"Baby, I only have two requests for you."

"Take every relationship seriously."

"Protect yourself."

This is a mother's most sincere expectation for her child.

"Promise me, okay?"

Su Qingqing threw herself into her mother Su's arms, and the tears she had been holding back finally flowed down.

This was the first time that Su's mother talked to her about this matter. She thought her mother was too shy to talk about it, but she didn't expect that her mother was much braver than her.

The hot tears wet Su Mama's clothes. Su Qingqing felt Su Mama's comfort, her voice a little choked but full of seriousness.

"it is good."
