Chapter 284: Chapter 136 Hesitation_3
Old Lady’s expectations for Su Huai were too high, and her impression too favorable, but Gou Huai wasn’t sure he could keep Gu Jiuyue happy all the time.
If Chen Nuanhan stirred up trouble and Gu Jiuyue went home in a sullen mood, how would you explain?
Obviously, the blame would fall on Gu, of course!
Really, if this happened a couple more times, who knows whom Grandma might end up trusting more.
It’s just that Gu Jiuyue was too aloof, never playing the cute or tattling game; against a real dog, she was at a loss inside and out.
However, Su Huai didn’t have any bad intentions. After all, we’re good friends—your grandma is my grandma. Favouring one or the other is all within the family, and it doesn’t hurt the genuine feelings~~~
"Received, I’ll be there to pick you up at 4 o’clock sharp!"
After replying, Su Huai plunged again into the war of the seas with the girls.
——Can someone tell me, it’s just a four-day trip, how could they have so many bizarre questions?!
The chat group remained lively until 9 o’clock, after which Su Huai tossed his phone aside: To hell with it, I’m going to sleep.
Chu Changkuo had gone home early, Sao Ji left by the noon train, and Xia Yu left at 5 o’clock; only Su Huai was left in the dormitory, feeling incredibly comfortable.
After a quick six-hour nap, Su Huai got up at half-past three, carelessly washed his face, brushed his teeth, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and set off.
Inside the backpack were two T-shirts, two pairs of shorts, four pairs of underwear, a razor, plus his wallet, charger, and a baton—a complete travel attire.
When he arrived under Professor Cheng’s building a few minutes before four, the lights on the second floor were already on.
At the entrance of the stairwell were parked a Mercedes and a Bentley, the driver’s door of the front car was open, and three people were standing by the doors of the rear car.
Su Huai glanced at them, didn’t recognize any, and bypassed them to go upstairs.
As a result, the three of them smiled and nodded at him.
Great, so everyone knows me?
Su Huai immediately realized that they might have been with Gu Jiuyue all the time, just not showing their faces.
Once on the second floor, with the door open, Gu Jiuyue was sitting on her suitcase, enduring the nagging of the elderly couple.
"Dear granddaughter, be careful with everything, and don’t try to be a hero..."
"If there’s any trouble, listen to Su more, don’t overdo it..."
"Report to us as soon as you get there, if you really don’t want to talk to us directly, you can also post a moment on WeChat..."
Old Scratcher looked worried, his eyes slightly swollen. He stood there in a loose tank top, looking as old and pitiful as could be.
Gu Jiuyue obediently nodded non-stop, her eyes catching sight of Su Huai. She immediately leaped up with excitement.
"You’re here?"
"Yes." Su Huai nodded and greeted the elderly couple, "Grandma, Grandpa, we’re ready to leave, don’t worry, everything’s on me!"
He knew exactly how to hit the right note; a single sentence eased their anxiety significantly.
"Alright, Su, then we’re leaving it to you!"
Su Huai’s face was stern, "Rest assured, I won’t leave her side!"
Old Scratcher scratched his chin, feeling both pained and conflicted, "Uh, well, you don’t need to follow that closely..."
Bang!
He immediately received a smack and a sharp rebuke, "Go back to sleep!"
Academician Wang didn’t dare to utter another word.
"Let’s go, let’s go!"
Gu Jiuyue walked towards Su Huai with joy, waving a small hand discreetly behind her back, "Grandma, Grandpa, you can leave now; I’m setting off!"
The elders opened their mouths but held back the rest of their words.
It was rare for them to see Gu Jiuyue so cheerful; they didn’t want to spoil her mood any further.
So, they looked deeply at Su Huai instead.
Su Huai responded with a firm gaze, slowly nodded, and picked up her suitcase.
But Wu was quicker than him; she grabbed the suitcase and thumped down the stairs.
Su Huai trailed behind Gu Jiuyue, carefully escorting her downstairs and into the Mercedes van, driving away from the residential area in the dark.
The fragile beauty’s wonderful adventure began under the worried eyes of the two elders.
She laughed like a bird that had escaped its cage, while Su Huai’s chest was filled with a sudden, intense sense of responsibility, stirring up various tumultuous and delicate emotions.
Why was this?
Without any relevant experience, Su Huai found himself in a state of hesitation.
This trip...
Am I just a good friend, or am I... a dad?!
