Chapter 1234: Chapter 1234: It’s My Cat (3)
When they reached the school gate, Yang Xiaona and Yang Tao were going back to the dormitory, and only then did Ruan Jiaojiao reluctantly let go of their hands.
She stood outside the iron gate watching them walk towards the dormitory building, pouting a bit in disappointment. If she could, she’d also like to live in a dorm and experience collective life.
Yang Tao had mentioned before that at night they would even have dorm talk sessions, chatting with a group of around ten people, which made her extremely envious.
Back then, she thought about attending a boarding high school, so she could at least set up a bunk in the school dorm and experience it occasionally.
But as soon as high school started, she ended up like this.
“Let’s go home.” Finally holding her small hand again, Xiu Xi said softly on the side.
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, her spirits low, as he pulled her into the car.
Today, it wasn’t Ruan Jianguo who came to pick them up, but Shu Lang. As soon as Shu Lang saw the two get in the car, he immediately said, “Jiaojiao, there’s half a box of yogurt in the back seat, brought by your teacher Gu for you.”
“Teacher Gu?” Shu Jiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked in confusion.
Ruan Jiaojiao in the back seat became interested upon hearing this, turned her head to look for the yogurt, and indeed found a box next to Xiu Xi, which contained ten bottles of yogurt.
She immediately took out a bottle, inserted a straw, and handed it to Shu Jiao in the front, saying, “Mom, did you know? The woman Grandpa introduced to Uncle as his wife-to-be is actually our junior high English teacher, Teacher Gu, the really pretty one you met.”
“Oh, that Teacher Gu, she is quite beautiful.” Shu Jiao nodded, having a rather deep impression of Gu Zichen.
One’s educational level determines their knowledge and overall temperament, especially for a girl. Gu Zichen, she remembered, was not only beautiful and sophisticated but also spoke gently and eloquently, truly a good girl.
She took a few sips from the yogurt Ruan Jiaojiao handed over, found the taste quite good, and said to Shu Lang, “This Teacher Gu is nice. If you like her, get to know her well, and invite her over to our place when you have time. By the way, what kind of milk is this? It’s quite tasty.”
“This is called yogurt. Delicious, right? This was given by Teacher Gu. Teacher Gu is really nice. Uncle, you need to work hard and marry Teacher Gu, so we won’t have to pay for yogurt in the future.” Ruan Jiaojiao teased deliberately, smiling mischievously with her eyes bent into crescents.
This time, Shu Lang wasn’t as reserved as he was during the day, mainly because his special someone wasn’t around, and he spoke more freely. Hearing this, he earnestly replied to Ruan Jiaojiao, “Okay, Uncle will definitely work hard.”
Shu Jiao was surprised and turned to look at Shu Lang; she had just mentioned it casually and didn’t expect Shu Lang to take an interest.
Then she started laughing again; among the three siblings in the family, Shu Wen was getting engaged at the National Day, and only this brother hasn’t settled down. As his age advances, not only Old Master Shu is worried, but as an elder sister, she is also anxious. She’s frequently assisted in matchmaking for him, but his standards were high and he never found anyone suitable. Finally, he found someone he liked, and she was naturally happy.
This time she spoke sincerely, “If you really like her, you could invite her to our house to visit when there’s time.”
Thinking about Gu Zichen’s fondness for Ruan Jiaojiao, Shu Lang felt that perhaps he would have to rely on his little niece to get a wife, so he nodded immediately, “Alright, I’ll talk to her the day after tomorrow.”
The drive home took only five or six minutes, and the three chatted back and forth, arriving home quickly.
Xiu Xi remained silent throughout the journey. Generally, he was a quiet person, and no one noticed his unusual behavior for the time being.
