Chapter 1 I didn't expect you to hide so deep
As expected, although Lu Youyou's explanation seemed to make sense.
But Lu Jinming felt unhappy when he saw his daughter's eagerness to explain to her new boyfriend.
Fortunately, Zhu Yingying was sensible and quietly pressed her husband down next to her and signaled that today was his daughter's birthday. Don't say anything bad about it, you can take your time if you have any questions.
Lu Jinming took a deep breath, then decided to hand over the interrogation work to his wife, squeezed out a smile, let Gu Zhe sit in the house first, and let the maid put dried fruits and fruits on it.
Gu Zhe knew in his heart that this situation did not mean that he had passed the test, but the other party was more qualified and would not choose to go straight, so what should come will come sooner or later.
Sure enough, Gu Zhe just sat down on the side of the sofa for less than two minutes and peeled an orange. Zhu Yingying sat in the main seat and began to question politely:
"Xiao Gu, you have been in class with Youyou for five years and are not a stranger. Her father has been busy these years, and I have been to the parent-teacher meetings. I remember seeing you a few times.
Now that you have naturally come to this point, my aunt is happy for you. But to be honest, I really didn’t see when I had any ideas about Youyou.”
Zhu Yingying asked very casually, with a gentle voice like a noble lady.
When Gu Zhe heard this question, he was stunned for a second or two because he subconsciously felt that the other party would definitely ask about his family's situation or what he was doing recently.
After all, when mother-in-law takes the exam for a son-in-law, they always ask these questions first, and it depends on whether the other party has a future.
Gu Zhe's mind flicked for a moment, and immediately felt lit up: How could the Lu family judge it by ordinary people? How successful can they be in their career? Maybe the other party doesn't care. As long as they have a good character and can get along with Lu Youyou and go for a long time, the most important thing is.
Moreover, Zhu Yingying didn't ask about his family background or career, but asked how long he had liked Lu Youyou. He could just ask indirectly: Did Gu Zhe fall in love with Lu Youyou after the Lu family became a rich man, or did he always like it?
Although this cannot prove whether Gu Zhe is a materialistic person, it can also be used as an indirect evidence.
He is worthy of being a wealthy family with high quality. He doesn’t even have any aggressive words when asked, but he takes the opportunity to ask for true love and get all the information he wants to obtain.
Obviously, in the face of this question, Gu Zhe replied, "The longer he likes Lu Youyou", the more he seems to be sincere.
Because the earlier the time goes forward, the more the Lu family's career is in its infancy, which means that Gu Zhe is interested in is not Lu Youyou's money, but her sincerely.
Fortunately, Gu Zhe didn't need to lie. He just didn't want to expose his deepest thoughts. But since it happened, just be open-minded.
He didn't even think much and said frankly: "Auntie, it's quite embarrassing to say it. You may laugh. I want to emphasize first that although it's not good to fall in love early, it's not wrong to have a good impression of a girl.
As long as we can control ourselves and have no external manifestations, no civilized country should punish ideological offenders. And Youyou and I are obviously good at controlling ourselves, so we have not affected our studies in the past few years and have been making progress together."
Zhu Yingying waved her hand with a smile and signaled him to stop:
"No need to explain, of course we believe this. If you hadn't helped her make up for the lessons, the cultural courses she had brought in during the two years of gymnastics would probably have been lingering in Zhenyang Middle School. Do you mean to lay the groundwork? In fact, you liked her a long time ago?"
Gu Zhe took a deep breath and admitted frankly: "Indeed, I have had a good impression of her for a long time. At least I think this girl is very cute and straightforward, which makes me want to help her, communicate with her, and learn from each other."
Zhu Yingying picked up the Kung Fu tea cup and took a sip: "Is that right? When did it start? Youyou also has something worth learning from each other."
Not only Zhu Yingying was a little unbelievable, but even Lu Youyou herself was a little surprised because she always felt that Gu Zhe had been helping her over the years, and she didn't find anything worth Gu Zhe's learning.
Fortunately, Gu Zhe had nothing to hide when he came to this movie. He held Lu Youyou's hand openly and said solemnly:
"Youyou, since today is the best, I won't hide some words from you. My affection for you has actually sprouted since the end of the fifth grade of elementary school."
Lu Youyou was shocked: "You...you remembered me in the composition cram school back then? Why did you pretend not to know me when you first got together with me in the second grade of junior high school? You hid so deeply! You pissed me off so much that you lied to me for so many years!"
Lu Youyou was both surprised and unwilling to accept it, so she couldn't help but pull out her hand and beat Gu Zhe a few times.
Now it was Zhu Yingying and Lu Jinming's turn to beside him and couldn't understand it, so he couldn't help but interrupt and ask what was going on.
After pounding his little fist for a few times, Lu Youyou blushed and explained with a blushing face: "A Che and I actually met him in a weekend cram school outside the school when we were in the fifth grade of elementary school, but we never said hello.
I always thought he didn't remember me, but later he went to junior high school and the second classmate of junior high school officially met me. Unexpectedly, he was embarrassed, and he pretended not to know him even though he remembered... I had to cooperate with him."
Gu Zhe sighed: "I was very simple at that time. I felt embarrassed to deliberately remember the name of a girl from another school. Everyone was still so young, and I was introverted at that time.
But my thoughts cannot be controlled. I still remember the last weekend composition class of the fifth grade in the second semester, the composition you read on the podium, left me the impression.”
Gu Zhe's longing memories made everyone fall into gossip. Lu Youyou's parents' original wariness against him was temporarily put aside with this simple emotion, and induced him not to be afraid and continue to talk.
Gu Zhe adjusted his emotions and said:
"It was the summer of 1995. In an off-campus tutoring class, I noticed a refreshing and cute girl with a ponytail. I had no other intentions at that time, but I couldn't help but secretly remember her name every time I called in class.
It was the end of June. I remember that in the last class, the teacher assigned an essay "My First Try XXX".
The composition education I received at that time was that "all articles in the world rely on editing, and the more you get, the higher your score is,' so I made up an article "My first try to invent".
After writing, the teacher asked the classmates to go on stage to read aloud for everyone to comment. I never dared to go on stage, but that time I suddenly had the courage.
Because during that break, I heard her chatting with the teacher, saying that she would not come after this semester, and she was selected into the provincial youth team and should concentrate on practicing gymnastics.
When I heard this, I felt that ‘I will never have the chance to attend class with her again’, so my mind became hot. I went on stage and read my own composition for the first time in my life, and wanted to express it in front of her.
I still remember that after reading it, I looked at her, and I don’t know if she looked at me.
But I remember that after I stepped down, she also went up and read her composition cheerfully, with the title "My First Try to Drink Beer" - the title is completely inconsistent with my impression of her cute lady.
The composition says, "She saw that her parents always drink, and she was curious that the wine was delicious. Every time she acted coquettishly, she wanted to try it. Her father taught her: wine was not delicious at all, and that was all social needs. She was half-believing and half-doubted and wanted to verify it by herself.
Finally one time, my father had just opened a can of wine, but the phone rang. She took the opportunity to take a sip. It was so bitter! It was not delicious at all! It seemed that my father really didn't lie to her! She never drank again since then.'
Although this essay did not tell any big truth, I was shocked after listening to it. I suddenly felt ashamed of my own random fabrications and just wanted to get a high score in the essay. And the appearance of that girl was engraved in my memory and I could never forget it.
Although I was assigned to the same class again in the second grade of junior high school, I was embarrassed to remind her that I remembered her back then because I felt too embarrassing to that experience..."
Gu Zhe reviewed his first meeting with Lu Youyou in a leisurely and fascinating tone.
Not only those who speak are attentive, but those who listen are also tranced.
Lu Jinming and Zhu Yingying had originally doubted "When did Gu Che develop a favorable impression of his daughter, did he have ulterior motives?" But after listening, they were reluctant to doubt it again. How unforgettable this detail must be remembered clearly.
Zhu Yingying was stunned for a while before quietly asking her daughter: "Do you still remember? Was that the case back then?"
Lu Youyou's face was completely red. She had originally thought of "taking the initiative to ask Gu Zhe to pretend to be her boyfriend" to deal with the crisis at home. After the matter was over, Gu Zhe would slowly confess his love. Both sides had a way out.
Who knew that Gu Zhe didn't play according to the routine and just came up directly. Do you still have to confess your love in the future?
Zhu Yingying pushed her again, and then she came back to her senses with a pounding heart and nodded vigorously: "I didn't expect that he still remembered the details of that year after more than seven years... It was so embarrassing."
The more Lu Youyou thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She was stared at her and coveted for so many years. The other party was pretending to be okay. How should she face it? Even though the two of them have pretended to be boyfriend and girlfriend now, they are still too flirtatious.
She rushed back to the room in a hurry, closed the door and hid.
Gu Zhe is very thick-skinned, after all, he is a reborn person.
When he heard Lu Youyou's last words, he felt a little emotional: You have been underestimating me for seven years.
As a reborn person, he remembered it for thirty years.
Seeing this, Zhu Yingying quickly said something to save the scene and relieve the embarrassment: "Xiao Gu, Youyou is just embarrassed for a moment, but you are hiding too deeply. Don't worry, we believe you must be serious about her."
Gu Zhe smiled indifferently: "I still remember how embarrassed I felt when I listened to her finishing her composition that day. That feeling was like three years later, at the Italian Far East Literature Forum held in Venice.
After listening to Mo Yan, Yu Hua, and Wang Shuo, Su Tong talked about the very real reasons of "Why did I embark on the road of literature?", he looked at the manuscripts in his hand, "I embark on the road of literature because I love literature. I was admitted to the Chinese Department of Beijing Normal University and studied hard. It was too fake and not cool at all.
Su Tong is pretty good. He is at least the last one to go on stage, and he can tear the manuscript and give up his speech. I went on stage first than Youyou, and I talked about a lot of fake things and couldn't even get it back if I wanted to.
However, since then, I have believed that if there was another beautiful girl in this world who would not lie to me, it would have been Youyou. Her courage to tell the truth and dare to reveal her own shortcomings was too rare in that era.
When I met her again, I kept thinking: Maybe I was born in a humble background, maybe I need to use all my skills in my career in this life to succeed. But I can use these strategies to help me, and I can protect her to tell the truth all my life."
Lu Jinming and Zhu Yingying finally couldn't help but be moved. Her daughter had such a mature and steady boy to help her shelter her from the wind and rain. What else would she have to be afraid of in her life?
Moreover, I seem to have heard Youyou say that Gu Zhe has achieved great academic performance and scientific research. Judging from his calm speech today, he knows that he is definitely doing big things.
Lu Jinming, who had not spoken, finally spoke rare. He cleared his throat: "Xiao Gu, let's continue to see your performance in the future."
