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

Seeing Su Zekai's silly expression, Zhang Xueyan couldn't help but want to tease him.

She deliberately put on a stern face and said, "It's fake."

Su Zekai's expression immediately became uneasy again, "Ayan..."

He couldn't quite tell which of her words was serious.

Zhang Xueyan found his silly appearance somewhat amusing.

She said, "I was just kidding."

Su Zekai's eyes widened as he tried to figure out which of her words were a joke.

Zhang Xueyan added, "This is true, and my forgiveness for you is also true."

Su Zekai grabbed one of his girlfriend's hands with both of his, holding it in his palms, and said in a pitiful tone, "Don't scare me, my heart is pounding..."

Zhang Xueyan smiled and said, "Silly boy."

Su Zekai whispered, "I'm not stupid..."

Zhang Xueyan burst out laughing.

In some ways, Su Zekai can only be described as a bit naive and honest, not really stupid.

When Su Zekai saw his girlfriend smile, he also grinned foolishly at her.

Zhang Xueyan asked, "How long are you going to stay in H City this time?"

Su Zekai replied, "I probably won't be able to stay for more than a few days. There are still things to take care of on the project. The boss will need to see me after the seventh day of the new year."

He really wanted to stay in H city for a few more days, preferably with his girlfriend, but the reality didn't allow it.

Although there is still some time before his official start of school, he has to go back to be on standby for the project.

Zhang Xueyan nodded, "Okay, then I'll go shopping with you tomorrow."

Su Zekai was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Okay!"

The young couple sat in the teahouse for over an hour.

During this time, Zhang's father sent two messages, asking his daughter if she had finished talking with "Su Xing" and what time she would be home.

Zhang Xueyan brushed it off.

The teahouse was about to close, so the two paid their bill and left.

The two walked back from where Zhang Xueyan lived, not far from her apartment complex.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential compound, Su Zekai said, "Let's go in quickly."

Zhang Xueyan turned to look at him, "You should go back quickly too."

"Okay~" Su Zekai opened his arms, "Want a hug?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xueyan opened her arms and hugged her boyfriend's waist.

Su Zekai pulled Zhang Xueyan into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and tightened his grip slightly.

The two of them, separated by two thick down jackets, huddled together like little bears seeking warmth, and hugged for a long time.

until……

Someone approached them and stopped a short distance away.

The other person hesitated before calling out, "Xiao Yan?"

The young couple, who were hugging, suddenly separated!

Su Zekai mechanically turned his head and saw that the speaker was a young woman who was staring at him up and down with a sharp look in her eyes, using the light of the street lamp.

After Zhang Xueyan saw who it was, she subconsciously raised her hand, covered her glasses with her hand, and pushed them up.

Then she called out to the other person, "Sister..."

They encountered none other than Zhang Xueyan's older sister, Zhang Xueqing.

Zhang Xueqing glanced at her younger sister, then immediately shifted her gaze to Su Zekai. "And who is this?"

Zhang Xueyan gave a brief introduction to both parties, her voice sounding quite calm: "This is my boyfriend, Su Zekai, and this is my sister, Zhang Xueqing."

Su Zekai immediately said, "Hello, sister."

He had heard Zhang Xueyan mention Zhang Xueyan before and knew that they were sisters.

He was incredibly nervous at that moment. They had just agreed to focus on the relationship, enjoy it, and not think about anything else for now.

And now I've actually met my girlfriend's older sister!

He was a little worried that his girlfriend might think he had come to her place on purpose to seek attention from her family.

Zhang Xueqing said, "Don't call me 'sister' yet. You're not a child anymore, are you?"

Her eyes and tone revealed not only curiosity, but also scrutiny and criticism.

Su Zekai didn't know how to respond, so he looked at his girlfriend.

Zhang Xueyan said, "Sister, he's younger than you, so it's not wrong for him to call you sister."

"Alright then." Zhang Xueqing glanced at her sister, then asked Su Zekai, "Judging from your accent, you're not from around here, are you?"

Su Zekai answered obediently, "Yes, I am from Jiangxi Province."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xueqing's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

She didn't continue the topic, but instead said, "What are you two doing here? It's so cold outside, why don't you go upstairs?"

Zhang Xueyan said, "It's quite late, he has to go back."

Su Zekai snapped out of his daze and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, it's too late today. It's not appropriate to visit your aunt and uncle. I just came to see Ayan."

Zhang Xueqing raised her eyebrows: "Ayan?" She called her quite affectionately.

"Going back where? Staying at a hotel?"

“My third uncle’s family is from H city, so I’m going to stay at his house.”

"Alright, you should leave now, it's freezing cold." Zhang Xueqing first told him to go, then thought for a moment and said, "There will be people at home tomorrow, come over during the day and sit upstairs for a while."

Su Zekai didn't dare to agree casually, and looked at Zhang Xueyan again.

Zhang Xueyan tugged at her sister's arm, "Sis, he's not feeling well..."

"What's inconvenient about it? Is it something you can't show up in public?"

Su Zekai: "..."

Zhang Xueyan said helplessly, "No..."

Her sister's reaction surprised her. She thought that even if her family knew she had a boyfriend, they wouldn't invite him to their home for the time being. After all, in their opinion, she was too young to settle down in a relationship.

Zhang Xueqing said, "We're already at your doorstep, come over for a meal when you have time."
