I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

Zhang Xueyan replied to Su Zekai with "Okay," and then started getting dressed.

Her parents were watching TV in the living room when they noticed their daughter putting on her coat, and they looked at her strangely.

Even the German Shepherd with its large knife at home tilted its head and looked at her.

Her mother asked, "It's so late, where are you going?"

Zhang Xueyan said, "Su Xing wants to talk to me about something, I'll go out for a bit."

She didn't want to end things with her parents too much yet, so she used Su Xing as a shield.

Her dad asked, "What's wrong? Can't you talk about it over the phone?"

Zhang Xueyan said, "It's better to talk about work-related matters in person."

Her family all know that she and Su Xing opened a studio together.

She was already dressed and said, "I don't know what time I'll be back, so don't wait for me. Get some rest."

Da Dao picked up a grenade from the back of the sofa, brought it to the door, and wagged its tail at Zhang Xueyan.

Zhang Xueyan took the knife, touched the head of the large knife, and said, "Thank you."

Zhang's mother told her daughters, "Come back early. You two girls shouldn't stay out too late at night."

"understood."

Zhang Xueyan put on her shoes and went out the door.

Mr. Zhang stared at the closed door for two seconds, then turned to his wife and said, "Do you think that girl really went to find Su Xing?"

Zhang Ma said, "She said she was going to find Su Xing, so that's it."

"What's the matter that has to be discussed so late at night? It's freezing cold..."

"Your daughter is so grown up, why are you being so nosy?"

Mr. Zhang frowned slightly, not quite agreeing with his wife's statement, but he didn't argue back angrily.

He put the half-empty bottle of conditioner back, returned to the living room, and sat back on the sofa. "I'm not sleepy, I'll watch TV for a while longer."

……

Zhang Xueyan went downstairs and walked quickly toward the gate of the residential area where Su Zekai lived.

Su Zekai had been craning his neck to look, and as soon as he saw his girlfriend, he immediately went to greet her.

“Ayan…”

He wanted to take her hand.

Zhang Xueyan dodged his outstretched hand. "Come with me."

"okay……"

Zhang Xueyan quickly left the entrance of the residential area with Su Zekai.

"Let's find a place to sit for a while." She slowed her pace slightly.

"Row."

Su Zekai nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he seized the opportunity to grab his girlfriend's hand and tried to put it into his pocket.

Zhang Xueyan was wearing a thick glove, and he couldn't get it in no matter how hard he tried.

"..." Zhang Xueyan's lips twitched twice, then she pulled her hand away from his.

Su Zekai turned around and looked at her pitifully.

Zhang Xueyan took his arm again.

This time, Su Zekai was satisfied.

The two found a teahouse nearby, asked for a private room, and ordered a pot of black tea and some snacks.

Su Zekai said to the tea master who was going to brew tea for them, "We can brew it ourselves."

"Okay, please let me know if you need anything."

"Ok."

The tea master tactfully left.

Zhang Xueyan and Su Zekai sat facing each other.

Suzekai warming cup and sanitary ware, ready to brew tea.

Zhang Xueyan found Su Zekai's fluid movements very pleasing to the eye.

When Su Zekai saw that his girlfriend was only looking at his hands and not at his face, making eye contact, or speaking to him, he felt very uneasy.

Then, he made a few mistakes in his movements, and almost burned his hand when he poured the soup out.

Zhang Xueyan: "..."

She was secretly praising him in her heart, but it turns out she praised him too soon...

Finally, Su Zekai used the fairness cup to pour tea into both of their teacups.

Zhang Xueyan picked up her teacup, took a sip, and frowned slightly: "It's bitter..."

Su Zekai had been observing his girlfriend's expression. Although her brows quickly relaxed, he still noticed the brief frown she had shown just moments before.

His heart sank.

He spoke first, apologizing, "I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

Zhang Xueyan instinctively asked, "What did you do wrong?"

Su Zekai quickly said, "I was too hasty. We're still in school. I shouldn't have been in such a rush to meet your parents. Let's just enjoy our relationship and get along well. I won't bring it up again. We won't break up, okay?"

He wasn't in a rush to meet his parents until just before New Year's Day, when his grandparents discovered that he and Xueyan were dating. He felt that their relationship was now officially recognized at home.

His family all approve of Xueyan and like her.

Therefore, he felt he should also meet her family and gain their approval.

Of course, it would be even better if the two parties could get engaged first.

As soon as he brought it up, Xueyan rejected his idea, saying that it was not appropriate now and the time was not right.

Su Zekai didn't understand what was wrong. What timing was needed?

Sometimes he felt that his girlfriend's feelings for him were different from his feelings for her. She seemed to only want to be in a relationship with him and hadn't thought about the future, while he already had her in his life plans.

He suddenly felt very insecure, and couldn't help but throw a little tantrum at her.

He wanted more of her attention and wanted her to care about him more, but he seemed to have misjudged the situation and angered her. So he panicked and chased after her to H City.

Zhang Xueyan: "...?"

She never intended to break up with him...

She only knew her family's temperament; in their eyes, she was still too young and definitely not ready for marriage.

Even if her parents and sister knew she was in a relationship, they would still think that relationships during school years are unstable.

They would advise her to protect herself during the relationship, but that meeting the parents was not yet the right stage.

And also... she had sounded out her family, asking them which region's boyfriend they preferred.

The family members were surprisingly unanimous: preferably a local from H city, or at the very least, a place with deeply ingrained patriarchal ideas or outdated traditional values.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xueyan decided to temporarily refrain from mentioning Su Zekai to her parents and sister.

After all, some ingrained impressions about Jiangxi Province are not so easy to shake off.

Seeing that Zhang Xueyan remained silent, Su Zekai became nervous again. "Could you... say something?"

Zhang Xueyan thought for a moment and said, "Then what are you doing in H City all of a sudden?"

Su Zekai was taken aback at first, then quickly raised three fingers. "I swear! I came to H City not to force you to meet your family! I... I just want to resolve our conflict as soon as possible! I want to apologize to you and hope you won't be angry with me anymore!"

He was afraid his girlfriend would misunderstand why he came, so he spoke in a somewhat anxious tone.

Zhang Xueyan looked at him amusedly, "Alright, I believe you and I forgive you."

Su Zekai's eyes widened. "Really??"

He couldn't believe how easily he had appeased his girlfriend!
