In the blink of an eye, it was August 30th.
During the day, Su Zelin no longer went to the Internet cafe, but stayed at home.
I have to go to Lin'an tomorrow. I have to calm down and stay at home with my parents.
Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia also put aside their business matters.
They were still reluctant to let their son go on a long journey away from them.
If it weren't for the fact that they wanted their son to be Qin Shiqing's protector, the two elders also hoped that Su Zelin could stay for a few more days and wait until the day of official reporting to the Finance Academy before going to Lin'an.
After dinner, the family drank tea and chatted.
"Son, I have packed your luggage. Here are your clothes and new slippers, and over there is your toothbrush and toothpaste. Your admission letter and ID card are at the bottom. Be careful when you take them out. These two things are the most important. You must keep them safe and don't lose them, otherwise it will be very troublesome!"
Just like all mothers before their children go on a long journey, Zhao Lixia gave them detailed instructions and was worried about everything.
Su Zelin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking to himself, Mom, why did you even prepare toothpaste, toothbrush and slippers? They can't be bought in the provincial capital, right
The items have been counted.
Mother Su continued to ramble, "Even if you go to college, you can't relax. You've heard about your Aunt Lin's son. He got into a good school, but he became so proud of himself that he spent all day playing games and failed exams. I heard that he even had trouble graduating. Aunt Lin was so worried!"
"Got it, Mom!"
Su Zelin could only nod.
Zhao Lixia added: "Also, when you first arrive in Lin'an, you may not be able to adapt to the local climate, but you will get used to it slowly!"
"Mom, come on. Lin'an is not Yanjing. It's in our province, a few hundred kilometers away from Jianglan. The climate, food and accommodation are similar. How can I not be acclimatized?"
Su Zelin rolled his eyes.
My mother is worrying too much.
"I'm grown up now. I'm not a child anymore. You can rest assured!"
Zhao Lixia knew very well that her son had grown up, and that Su Zelin was courageous and had a strong personality, so he would most likely not be bullied when he went out. But if she didn't give him some good advice this time, she always felt uneasy.
Although my son has a cell phone and a telephone in his university dormitory, so he can ask about the situation at any time, making a phone call is never as ceremonial as preaching in person.
After finally listening to his mother's nagging, Su Zelin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I am going to Lin'an tomorrow. I always feel like there are some unfinished things today, but I can't remember them all of a sudden.
By the way, Huang Panpan!
Su Zelin suddenly remembered.
I should have said goodbye to her!
If it were in his previous life, Su Zelin would naturally not do this.
But in this life, his attitude towards Huang Panpan is different from before.
The colder you are to your junior schoolmate, the more unwilling she will be and the tighter she will cling to you. You might as well try to make friends with her and act like an older brother, so that she can get closer to you and understand you. She may find that the cool and aloof male god in her mind is just like that, without the aura of mystery, and maybe she will lose interest in him.
Later, Huang Panpan came to his house a few more times, and Su Zelin was always very friendly to her. He no longer had a stern face all the time, as if his junior high school girl had borrowed a lot of money from him and hadn't paid it back.
After buying a mobile phone, he would even take the initiative to send her text messages to chat with her, but they were all about study and life. As long as the junior sister mentioned relationship issues, the guy would play Tai Chi in various ways, either talking about politics, sports or entertainment stars.
The decision was made quickly.
Before going to Lin'an, I'd better say goodbye to Huang Panpan.
If I slipped away quietly, she would probably feel upset about it and become obsessed with it.
Thinking of this, Su Zelin stood up: "Dad, Mom, I want to go out for a while!"
"Son, where are you going? Don't go online tonight. Rest well at home!"
Zhao Lixia frowned, thinking that her son's playfulness should be limited.
"I'm not going to the Internet cafe, I'm going to meet Panpan and chat with her!"
Su Zelin did not hide anything from his elders.
"Meet Panpan tonight?"
Zhao Lixia was surprised.
"Yes, we are all friends, we have to say goodbye before leaving!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly.
"Why don't you just give her a call? Why bother meeting her in person?"
Su's mother didn't quite agree. Even though she also had a good impression of Huang Panpan, she still preferred Qin Shiqing in her heart.
"If I call her and tell her I'm leaving tomorrow, she'll be at our house later, do you believe it?"
Su Zelin asked back.
Su Ma stopped talking.
Huang Panpan would really do that.
She had already seen that this girl was very stubborn.
If my junior high school girl comes, my son will have to take her home late at night, which will be even more troublesome.
"I should have looked for her during the day, but I forgot and only remembered it now."
Su Zelin explained further.
"Zelin, go!"
Su Jianjun did not stop her, but said earnestly: "This girl is quite pitiful, remember to be sensible in what you do!"
What this means is that Su Zelin cannot tease her, nor can he stimulate her.
"Zelin, you can't mess around!"
Zhao Lixia is worried about other aspects. She has watched too many soap operas.
In many TV dramas, girls always throw themselves into the arms of the male protagonist the night before he goes on a long journey.
She couldn't let Su Zelin make a mistake.
"Mom, what are you thinking? I just said goodbye to her, purely as a friend!"
Su Zelin was speechless and thought to himself, Mom, you think too much. I have no interest in Huang Panpan!
However, Su Ma doesn't think so.
As the saying goes, if a man pursues a woman, it's like a mountain between them; if a woman pursues a man, it's like a layer of gauze between them. As long as the woman takes the initiative, anything is possible.
If something happened between my son and Huang Panpan, firstly, she is still a high school student and I can’t explain to her parents, and secondly, my relationship with Qin Shiqing would also be ruined, so this is absolutely not allowed.
"knew!"
Su Zelin rushed out of the door and rode the Phoenix steel-frame bicycle to his destination at full speed.
As soon as he left, Liu Sufen walked in.
"Lao Su, Lixia, I plan to cook something early tomorrow morning. I heard that the food on the train is not tasty and expensive. I'll also cook Zelin's portion so you don't have to worry about it!"
Zhao Lixia was very happy.
During this holiday, Liu Sufen treated her son differently, especially after she learned that he had made more than 100,000 yuan by investing in stocks. She said all kinds of good things about her son in front of her every day and was very caring. Her tone was almost like that of a prospective mother-in-law treating her future son-in-law.
"Okay, Sufen, I was thinking the same thing, but since you've done it, it will save me the trouble and trouble!"
Zhao Lixia responded with a smile.
"Haha, our two families are so close, why are we talking about this? What's more, Zelin went to Lin'an in advance for Shiqing. With him by Shiqing's side, Daqing and I feel relieved. We should thank you!"
After a pause, Liu Sufen looked around and asked curiously, "Where is Zelin?"
Logically speaking, no matter how playful Su Zelin usually is, he shouldn't run around tonight.
"Uh, this..."
Zhao Lixia was in a dilemma.
She didn't know whether she should tell it or not, but she didn't know how to lie to Liu Sufen, so she could only look to her husband for help.
Su Jianjun coughed dryly and said, "Zelin went to find Huang Panpan!"
"What?"
Liu Sufen was shocked.
She has always regarded that beautiful little girl, who comes from a wealthy family and is very proactive towards her neighbor's son, as the biggest threat to Qin Shiqing.
When a man and a woman meet before going on a long journey, this is a red alert!
Liu Sufen had watched no fewer soap operas than Zhao Lixia, and she immediately became deeply alert.
"Zerlin just went to say goodbye to her, as a friend."
Su Jianjun added.
"We are all friends, so we are just saying goodbye before we leave. Our Zelin is quite sensible, and he has always just treated Huang Panpan as his junior schoolmate!"
Liu Sufen nodded.
After all, the two families are just neighbors, not in-laws. This may happen in the future, but at least for now, I have no right to interfere with other people's children's freedom.
She also noticed Su Zelin's attitude towards Huang Panpan, and they indeed had no intention of developing into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
But we still have to sound the alarm and never let her snatch Zelin away!
As soon as Liu Sufen left, Zhao Lixia asked in confusion: "Lao Su, why did you tell Sufen the truth? Wouldn't it be better to just say that Zelin went out to play?"
"First, do you think Sufen will believe that Zelin is going to play at this time?"
Su Jianjun asked back.
"Well, I'm afraid I won't completely believe it!"
Although her son is a troubled person, he is quite filial. Liu Sufen also knows that on this last night at home, he will definitely not go out unless there is a special situation, but will stay with his family.
"Second, if Zelin comes back during the holidays and Panpan comes to our house and runs into Sufen and Shiqing, do you think she will talk about this matter intentionally or unintentionally?"
"Very likely!"
Zhao Lixia finally understood why her husband told the truth.
"Although Panpan looks innocent, she is still a little scheming. The first time she and Shiqing met in our house, they secretly competed with each other. Although it was not obvious, anyone with a discerning eye could see it!"
Su Jianjun analyzed calmly.
"We met with Zelin before we left. She might tell Qin Shiqing about it on purpose. If Sufen finds out that we lied to her, she will be considered guilty. So we might as well admit it openly!"
"Third, it's not a bad idea to use this opportunity to convey a sense of crisis to Su Fen."
A cunning smile appeared on Su's father's lips, like an old fox.
"Jianjun, you are the best!"
Zhao Lixia gave a thumbs up.
After all, my husband is more thoughtful in this matter!
…
Downtown commercial city.
Ice and snow are relaxing.
Huang Panpan was drinking milk tea with her best friend Wei Xian from No. 2 Middle School.
"Alas, my senior will be reporting to the School of Finance in a few days. I won't be able to see him for a long time!"
Huang Panpan sighed as she sipped her bubble milk tea.
"Senior, senior, senior, every time we hang out, I always hear you talking about Senior Su. Panpan, you're really obsessed!"
Wei Xian rolled her eyes.
"Xiao Xian, if you had my vision and could appreciate the charm of our senior, you would also fall in love with him uncontrollably!"
There were little stars twinkling in Huang Panpan's eyes.
"Forget it, I'd rather not have such vision!"
Wei Xian thought that although Su Zelin was handsome, we couldn't appreciate him.
Compared to this kind of scoundrel, the type she has in mind is a good student who is gentle, considerate, and excellent in both character and academic performance.
"That would be the best. If you also like Senior, then we will be enemies. Even if you are my best sister, I will not let you go!"
Huang Panpan said seriously.
"You, you are really hopeless!"
Wei Xian was too tired to complain.
"You have no chance, so just give up. Besides, isn't there a senior sister Qin Shiqing by Senior Su's side? You know how popular she is in No. 2 Middle School. She is also a childhood sweetheart of Senior Su, so she has a much bigger advantage than you!"
"It is because Senior Sister Shiqing also likes me that it proves that I am really excellent. I, Huang Panpan, am not afraid of challenges!"
The junior school girl looked determined: "Besides, I also have my own advantages!"
"What's the advantage?"
"My future father-in-law and mother-in-law both like me!"
Huang Panpan smiled and said, "They are so nice to me, just like they would to their future daughter-in-law!"
Wei Xian: “…”
You must be overthinking it. They just treat you as their senior’s friend and are more friendly to you out of politeness!
Huang Panpan had told her good sister about the poem about her visit to Su Zelin's home, so Wei Xian knew about it.
"And the senior has been very nice to me recently. We chat via text messages every day, and he even called me once!"
Speaking of this, Huang Panpan smiled even sweeter.
"Yes, he talks to you every day about rocket launches, party and state elections, cars and basketball, all of which are topics that girls are most interested in. He is such a romantic man!"
Wei Xian sneered.
Huang Panpan could naturally hear the sarcasm in her words and said disapprovingly: "That is the senior's favorite topic. Since he is willing to share it with me, it means he doesn't treat me as an outsider!"
Wei Xian closed her mouth, and her face showed "the other party doesn't want to talk to you and is throwing a big Speechless" at you.
She felt that it was pointless to continue arguing with Huang Panpan. Her good friend had been completely brainwashed and would not listen to anything.
Even if Senior Su pooped, she would probably think it smelled good.
Just then, Huang Panpan's Samsung phone rang.
Thinking it was her parents calling, the junior high school girl frowned, but when she took out her cell phone from her pocket and saw the caller ID on it, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Speak of the devil, and he will appear. My senior called me. It seems that he and I really have a tacit understanding!"
Although it was not the first time Su Zelin called, Huang Panpan was still very happy.
She quickly pressed the answer button: "Senior?"
"Pan Pan, where are you?"
Su Zelin's voice came from the microphone.
"It's Bingxue'er and Weixian. There are only two girls, no boys!"
Huang Panpan took the initiative to report.
"Is that so? Are you free later? Let's meet up, shall we?"
Su Zelin on the other end of the phone didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.
"Dating?"
Huang Panpan couldn't believe her ears.
"No, just chatting about something!"
Su Zelin corrected.
"almost!"
Huang Panpan made up her mind anyway.
"Whatever you think..."
Su Zelin didn't argue with her about this issue, otherwise it would be endless.
"are you free?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Senior, I'm free whenever I want to date you. How about now?"
Huang Panpan didn't even think about it.
"Aren't you drinking milk tea with your friend?"
"It's okay, she had an emergency at home, so she went back!"
Wei Xian: “???”
Huang Panpan didn't care what her good sisters thought. Since the senior took the initiative to ask her out, everything else had to be put aside.
The junior sister was in a good mood and asked sweetly, "Senior, where should we meet? How about milk tea, McDonald's is also fine, or maybe the place where we had smoothies last time, I'll treat you!"
You talk as if I have a bad stomach, but now I am a dog owner worth one hundred thousand yuan!
Su Zelin secretly complained, but said calmly: "No need, let's go to Binjiang Citizen Square!"
He just wanted to meet Huang Panpan casually to say goodbye, and didn't want to waste too much time, and it would be better to meet in a public place with many people.
Bingxueer was near the Binjiang Citizen Square. She rode her bike there and it would be almost time for her to come out.
"A square? That's fine too!"
I heard that there are many couples walking around the Civic Square at night, which is quite romantic.
Huang Panpan thought secretly.
After the two parties agreed on a meeting place, Su Zelin hung up the phone.
"Pan Pan, how come I don't know when I need to go back home for an emergency?"
Wei Xian got furious.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Xian!" Huang Panpan stuck out her tongue: "We can make an appointment anytime, but this is the first time that Senior has asked me out, so I have no choice but to let Senior take precedence!"
"Come on, even if it's the hundredth time that Senior Su asked you out, you would still put love before friendship. Sigh, you are not careful in making friends!"
Wei Xian was helpless.
"Whatever you say, Xiao Xian, just drink slowly. I'm leaving now. We'll meet again next time, hehe!"
