The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 2221 Elder's Concern, Another Promise
Nie Xiguang was extremely nervous and shy. She never expected that it would be such a coincidence that Zhou Chen would run into her aunt and uncle on the first time he took her home.

Especially when he saw his uncle and aunt staring at Zhou Chen, from the moment Zhou Chen sat in the car until he got out, their eyes never left him.

After Zhou Chen got out of the car and walked to her side, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and, under the scrutiny of Jiang Ping and Shen Shu, begin her introduction.

"Zhou Chen, this is my uncle and aunt. Uncle, Aunt, this is my friend, Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen blurted out, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

The address of "uncle" and "aunt" completely stunned the three of them. Nie Xiguang's face turned red instantly, and even her ears turned red. Jiang Ping and Shen Shu stared wide-eyed at Zhou Chen with shocked looks, and then at Nie Xiguang.

Nie Xiguang hurriedly tugged at Zhou Chen: "Don't shout like that."

Zhou Chen then 'realized' his mistake and 'hurriedly' apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue, it was a slip of the tongue, Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry."

However, his explanation was clearly unconvincing to Jiang Ping and Shen Shu. Shen Shu was alright; after seeing Zhou Chen's appearance clearly, her eyes immediately lit up. Women are far more eager to see beautiful things than men, and Zhou Chen's image gave her a very good first impression.

But Jiang Ping, being a man, was different. Like repels like, and moreover, Zhou Chen had an unusual relationship with his most beloved niece. As her uncle, he naturally had to be vigilant and scrutinize her.

"Zhou Chen, right? I'm Xi Guang's uncle. You're Xi Guang's friend. How come I've never seen you before?"

Although he was wary of Zhou Chen, he had to admit that Zhou Chen had a very good image and was driving a luxury car, which was enough to show that Zhou Chen was not an ordinary person. So his attitude was not good, but it was not bad either.

Zhou Chen was about to speak, but Nie Xiguang interrupted, "Uncle, I met Zhou Chen during my internship in Wuxi. He happened to come to our school today, and I showed him around the school briefly. After we had dinner, he was worried about me being alone, so he specially brought me back."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping was even more surprised. Nie Xiguang had only been an intern for a short time, meaning they hadn't known each other for long. However, he knew his niece's personality, and judging from her attitude towards Zhou Chen, it was clear that their relationship was not as simple as that of ordinary friends.

However, his tone was unusually gentle when speaking to his niece.

"Xiguang, don't come home so late next time. If it's too late, call your uncle and he'll come pick you up."

Nie Xiguang said shyly, "Uncle, I'm an adult now, please stop treating me like a child."

Jiang Ping was about to say that he would always be a child in his eyes, but Shen Shu pushed him and glared at him.

“Xi Guang is right, she’s grown up and isn’t a child anymore. Stop nagging her all the time, it’s annoying.”

After scolding Jiang Ping, Shen Shu said to Nie Xiguang with a kind expression, "Xiguang, your uncle was just worried about you. Xiao Zhou, right? Thank you for bringing Xiguang back."

Zhou Chen immediately said politely, "Auntie, you're too kind. Xi Guang and I are friends. She even took me to visit Jiangning University today. It's only right that I bring her back."

"Thank you for your help. It's getting late today, otherwise I would have invited you to my home. How about this, next time you come over during the day, Uncle Xiguang and I will cook for you ourselves."

Shen Shu was very polite, and Zhou Chen also said politely, "Next time, I will definitely visit Uncle and Aunt next time. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'll head back now."

Seeing Zhou Chen about to leave, Nie Xiguang hurriedly asked, "You just arrived today, where are you staying tonight?"

"I've already booked the hotel."

"Then, be careful on your way back."

"Uncle, Auntie, I'll head back now. I'll come visit again later."

Shen Shu said goodbye to Zhou Chen with a smile, while Jiang Ping remained calm. After Zhou Chen left, he couldn't help but say, "Is he really planning to come again next time?"

What are you saying?

Shen Shu retorted again, dissatisfied, "He was just saying that as a courtesy. What's wrong with you? Xi Guang is still here."

Jiang Ping then realized he had said something wrong and apologized to Nie Xiguang, "Xiguang, your uncle didn't mean anything by it, he was just worried about you. You're a young lady now, and your uncle was afraid you'd suffer..."

Nie Xiguang smiled and said, "I understand, Uncle. I know you mean well, but Zhou Chen is indeed a very good person. He helped me a lot today. If it weren't for him, I would have been in a very embarrassing situation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping and Shen Shu immediately looked worried: "Xi Guang, what's wrong? Were you bullied?"

"No, no, what are you thinking? How could I be bullied? I just ran into a little trouble, and Zhou Chen happened to come over today and helped me solve it, so I treated him to dinner and then he drove me back."

"Wait a minute, you've been going through a lot of trouble, meals, and being taken home. It's like a comedy routine."

Jiang Ping had barely finished speaking when Shen Shu interrupted him again.

"Can't you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, then speak less. Xiguang, don't mind your uncle, come on, let's go home."

Nie Xiguang was pulled away by his aunt, and could only give his uncle an apologetic smile.

On the way back, Shen Shu secretly inquired about Zhou Chen from Nie Xiguang.

"Xiguang, was that young man you met during your internship?"

“It’s true, Auntie. He’s a friend of the manager of the accounting firm where I did my internship. He came to our firm, and that’s how we met.”

"What else? What else?"

………………

After finally managing to get rid of his aunt's questions, Nie Xiguang fled back to his room, patted his chest, and collapsed onto the bed.

Thinking about how Zhou Chen had just brought her back and she had been caught by her uncle and aunt, she felt shy and nervous, as if she had done something wrong and been caught by her parents.

Thinking back to Zhou Chen's miraculous appearance today, she felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite explain. There was gratitude, the joy and happiness of being protected, and another emotion that she herself couldn't quite figure out.

But no matter what, Zhou Chen's appearance today really made her very happy.

Meanwhile, in another room of the villa, Jiang Yun and Shen Shu were also taking action.

As people with experience, they could naturally see that Zhou Chen's feelings for Nie Xiguang were special. More importantly, they could also see that Nie Xiguang's attitude towards Zhou Chen was also unusual.

At this age, if two people who are attracted to each other are not watching, the speed at which their relationship develops is truly unpredictable.

So the two of them considered it for a while and decided to inform Nie Xiguang's mother, Jiang Ping's sister Jiang Yun, about this matter first.

So Jiang Ping called Jiang Yun and told her what had happened that evening.

"I had a premonition about what you're talking about back in Wuxi. Xiguang's behavior wasn't quite right those few days. Later, I found out that someone had confessed to her. It should be the boy you met today. I didn't ask her too much, but I did tell her some things to be careful about. Xiguang is my daughter, and I trust that she will make her own judgment on such an important matter."

Jiang Yun is naturally concerned about her daughter's love life, but she is relatively open-minded, unlike other parents who are overly protective.

"But now that you've mentioned it, I'm actually more curious. You've seen the person, what did he/she look like?"

Jiang Ping was about to answer when Shen Shu spoke up first: "Handsome, really handsome, sis. Let me tell you, this young man is called Zhou Chen. He's tall and handsome, with a great image and temperament. He looks like the kind of young man who is very well-mannered and confident. He's also dressed very appropriately and drives a Porsche. His family must be quite well-off."

Jiang Ping frowned as soon as his wife said Zhou Chen was handsome.

"You only met them once, in just a few minutes, and you've already made so many judgments? That's a bit too arbitrary."

"What are you being so arbitrary about? Whether a person is well-mannered and has confidence can be seen from their speech and demeanor. You can tell Zhou Chen is no ordinary person at a glance, don't you think?"

Jiang Ping didn't know how to answer, so she could only say, "Sister, it's not as exaggerated as she said, but judging from the first impression, I think it's alright. Standing next to our Xiguang, they do look quite well-matched."

"If he's good enough for both of you, then he must be really good. But that's not important. I just hope that when Xiguang finds a boyfriend, he'll find someone who truly treats her well. As for other conditions, as long as they're not too bad, I have no objections. In the end, it's up to Xiguang herself."

Jiang Ping frowned slightly at Jiang Yun's words: "Sister, Xi Guang is still young and hasn't graduated from university yet. I feel like it's a bit too early to talk about these things."

"What do you mean 'early'? These days, young people might have had several relationships by the time they graduate from college. Xi Guang hasn't had even one. Is that early? In my opinion, it's all the same whether it's early or late. The most important thing is to find the right person. Anyway, I quite like that young man named Zhou Chen."

Shen Shu trusted her judgment of people and highly approved of Zhou Chen.

“Jiang Yun, I heard from Xi Guang that Zhou Chen has been staying in Jinling recently. If I have time, I’ll go and check on him for Xi Guang and find out more about his situation.”

“Shen Shu, there’s really no need to go to so much trouble. Xi Guang knows what’s good for her in this matter.”

"Sister, I agree with my wife on this point. Even if Xiguang is sensible, we elders still need to keep an eye on her. After all, Xiguang has little social experience and hasn't experienced much, let alone the experience of judging people. As elders, we have to be responsible for her future."

Jiang Yun understood what her younger brother and sister-in-law meant, so she sighed and said, "Alright, but you two need to be careful about this. Don't let them think that our family is investigating their household registration, and don't cause Xi Guang unnecessary trouble."

Shen Shu assured, "Don't worry about that, we definitely won't hold Xiguang back."

…………

The next day, Nie Xiguang went to school. After arriving, she calculated the time and sent a message to Zhou Chen at 9:30, asking when he would arrive.

Last night before going to bed, she texted Zhou Chen. She first told him about meeting her aunt and uncle, and then asked him about his plans for the day. Zhou Chen said he was visiting Jiangning University, so she happily agreed to continue being his tour guide.

Shortly after she sent the message, Zhou Chen replied, saying that he had arrived at the west gate of the school and was parking his car.

Upon seeing this, Nie Xiguang immediately smiled and then texted Zhou Chen, telling him to park his car and stand at the west gate of the school, and that she would come to find him right away.

I quickly arrived at the West Gate and saw Zhou Chen standing there. In this university campus, Zhou Chen was quite conspicuous.

"Zhou Chen, why did you get here so quickly?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I couldn't keep you waiting, so of course I had to come early. Where are you planning to take me today?"

Nie Xiguang said, "Today I'll take you to see our school's teaching building first, and then we'll go to..."

She had already planned her trip last night. Jiangning University isn't very big, but it's not small either. If you're just walking, there are still many places worth seeing.

Zhou Chen followed Nie Xiguang and strolled around the campus of Jiangning University. After yesterday's events, Nie Xiguang's goodwill towards Zhou Chen increased, and her tone became more intimate than before.

As the two walked, they arrived at the playground, where a group of people were chasing each other and playing football.

"Our school's football field is very standard, and people often hold football matches on our field."

Looking at the college students playing football, Zhou Chen thought of his own college life. Before he got the system, his physical fitness was average, but he also liked to play football, basketball and other sports. However, his skill level was relatively low. But as long as a group of people played football, it was always a lot of fun.

But as he traveled through time more often and his physical condition improved, although he still played ball in different movie and TV worlds, he could no longer experience the same joy as before, and even the thrill of crushing weaker opponents was almost gone.

As the two were walking on the track, coincidentally, the soccer ball was suddenly kicked over. Zhou Chen nimbly caught it with his foot, then slammed it out, sending the ball flying like a cannonball into the other goal.

Seeing this, Nie Xiguang was stunned. They were far from the goal, and Zhou Chen's kick was fast and accurate, showing that he was quite skilled. More importantly, Zhou Chen wasn't wearing soccer shoes, but leather shoes.

"sharp."

She gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up without hesitation, and Zhou Chen just smiled slightly.

"It's almost noon, your school cafeteria should be open by now. I didn't eat breakfast and I'm a little hungry. Why don't you treat me to a meal at your school cafeteria? I haven't eaten in a university cafeteria since I graduated, and I really miss it."

"Just eating in the cafeteria? I can take you out to eat something nice."

"You can eat delicious food anytime, but you can't eat in the university cafeteria whenever you want. Even if you do eat there, it might not feel the same as before.

"No problem, I just happened to bring my cafeteria card. I'll order as much as you want."

Nie Xiguang waved his hand in a very generous manner.
