Chapter 274 Meeting Each Other's Parents

On the evening of September 9, Zhao Yuxi returned to Yuqing City. As soon as she got off the car, she saw Gu Tingzhou.

Zhao Yuxi walked towards him naturally and pushed the suitcase to him. The two were very close, and she smelled a faint smell of oil smoke. She put her face on his sleeve, took a deep breath, and then said happily and proudly: "I smell the smell of dinner."

Gu Tingzhou was very happy to see this scene. Sister Zhao Yuxi was also a very cute girl.

"I smell it too. Let's go back. I've prepared dinner."

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."

"No, no, it's not hard."

"Eat more. There will be harder work waiting for you to do tonight."

Gu Tingzhou understood what Zhao Yuxi meant. There was indeed something more difficult waiting for him tonight. Although the two did not take the final step, Sister Zhao Yuxi was too interested in him and too enthusiastic about him. In her, he felt satisfaction and joy that he had never felt before. He respected and loved Zhao Yuxi, partly because Zhao Yuxi cared for him and cared about him.

What Zhao Yuxi said was also what he was looking forward to. He was excited and nodded vigorously: "Yeah."

The two used elements to dissolve into each other and disappeared.

Gu Tingzhou calculated the time when Zhao Yuxi would arrive at the station. When they got home, the rice and dishes were still hot. Even if they were not hot anymore, he only needed to heat them up with a flame, which was an easy task.

After dinner, Zhao Yuxi wanted Gu Tingzhou to save some energy, so she took the initiative to take on the housework: "You take a rest first, I'll wash the dishes."

"You should take a rest first. I want to see more of you." The two of them sat face to face while eating. Now that they finished their meal, he raised his head and looked at the other person intently. The more he looked, the more he thought the person in front of him was beautiful.

Zhao Yunxi felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Some people say that a short separation is better than a new marriage. Do you feel it?"

"I felt it a little bit, maybe because we were apart for such a short time."

"Next time it won't be shorter, it will be five days. Can I ask what you've been doing lately?"

"Yes. I went to visit my parents and relatives who live in the county."

"What did you get? Do you want me to go with you to see it? Do they know that you and I are married? No, do they know that you are married?"

Gu Tingzhou knew he was in the wrong and didn't say anything: "We got married, but I didn't tell my family about it. Why does it sound a bit like eloping? No, it's not as simple as eloping. This is irresponsible behavior."

Zhao Yuxi waited for his answer. If his answer was "I know", he would have said it long ago.

"I haven't told my family about you either. Let's go see them this weekend. It's not too late. Don't be too stressed. You know what I'm capable of. I will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Sister Zhao Yuxi can see through the truth and lies, people's emotions, and all kinds of subtle movements and changes in eyes. Before the advent of "darkness", even the best person in the world who is good at observing people's words and expressions cannot compare with her synesthesia. If she is willing to use her ability to please others, almost no one can see through her true thoughts.

"No, my family respects me very much, you don't have to consider them deliberately. You are my colleague, someone with the same position as me, and they will respect you too." "When we decide to do something, few people can stop us. When they can't stop us, we don't have to regard them as obstacles. Your parents live in the city, let's go see them tomorrow. Let's go tomorrow afternoon. I'm afraid you can't get up tomorrow morning."

If he can't get up tomorrow morning, this is very likely to happen. They haven't seen each other for three days, Zhao Yuxi will definitely be... Gu Tingzhou was full of joy, and this joy spread to his eyes and his face.

Looking at him, Zhao Yuxi couldn't help but squint and smile.

"Sister Zhao Yuxi, are you going to visit my parents tomorrow and your parents the day after tomorrow?"

"Sure. After seeing them, I want to take you to see the house I used to live in. Your sister Zhao Yuxi used to be very poor and couldn't even get enough food to eat. Were you the same before? Fortunately, the darkness has come and our living conditions have changed. Otherwise, we would have to suffer as before. But fortunately, after all the suffering comes happiness. We have suffered enough and can enjoy a new life. In this era, there are only a handful of people who can suppress us."

Gu Tingzhou didn't hear a trace of pride in her words. She was reminiscing, she was sighing, she was admitting the imperfect self in the past. She was also looking forward to the future, hoping to see a better self. This kind of thinking is precious.

"Well, our future will surely be better than our past."

"It's not just us, there are many people who will be heading towards this future. Let me show you another video. I did more than one thing in school."

Zhao Yuxi sat next to him. She cast notes, images appeared, and sounds came out. Everything she said and did in the classroom was clearly visible.

Gu Tingzhou does not fully agree with what Zhao Yuxi did: asking students' parents for their opinions in order to influence their grades, is this behavior appropriate?

"Zhao Yuxi, how do parents influence students' grades?"

"It's very simple. I will ask them the same question. If they answer wrong, 5% will be deducted. If they answer right, they will enjoy the points deducted by the other party. Every parent has the opportunity to answer questions and to fight for points for their children. As for whether they can fight for it, it is none of my business. They always tell their children that 'learning is for yourself', but is it really so? No. The children's academic performance is related to them. What will their expressions be when they make wrong choices and cause their children to lose points?"

Gu Tingzhou reluctantly accepted her point of view: "Both sides influence each other. The score is not determined by either side alone."

"Yeah. What I did was to make them understand this more clearly. If our study is all for ourselves and has nothing to do with our parents, then why do our parents care so much? Right? I hate such lies, so they must pay the price for this lie."

"That makes sense. Is it only one person in the class who paid the price?"

"Don't worry, there will be more people who will pay the price for this in the future. People from all walks of life, all kinds of professions, all kinds of identities, all kinds of aspects will pay the price, and no one will be left out."

On Saturday morning, Gu Tingzhou got up very late, even though he went to bed a little earlier.

Zhao Yuxi watched him fall asleep and also watched him wake up.

When Gu Tingzhou woke up, Zhao Yuxi was messaging Yu Xinyi. She asked her to use the weekend to bring all the parents of the students in that class back to the city. When she returned to Guyuan City on Monday, they would be questioned, which would affect their children's test scores.

Yu Xinyi was deeply confused: Isn't it unfair to let students pay for their parents' choices? The dean wanted students to have more rights, but why did she use the students' families to interfere with them? Isn't this contrary to her original intention?
That afternoon, Zhao Yuxi went to Gu Tingzhu's house, and she finally met the two people she had always wanted to meet.
