Chapter 299 His Retribution...

Lu Nian's fever subsided the next morning.

Ignoring her grandmother's advice, she took her notebook and pen and went next door.

The kindergarten teacher assigned them weekend homework, not much, just ten addition and subtraction problems within ten.

The teacher said the homework was very simple, but Lu Nian felt that the teacher was lying to the children because she couldn't do a single question.

Because of what happened yesterday, Gu Suixing was ordered by Gu Zhenjun to stay at home today and not go anywhere.

When Lu Nian came over with his homework, he was reading "Journey to the West" in the living room, waving a "golden cudgel" he had made himself out of a broom handle.

"Xingbao." Lu Nian ran up to Gu Suixing, blocking his view of the TV, "Have you finished your homework?"

Gu Suixing: "I've finished writing."

Lu Nian: "Let me see."

Gu Suixing saw right through her little scheme. "Are you trying to copy the answers?"

Lu Nian smiled shyly, "If you're willing to help me copy, that's fine too."

She's not picky.

“You can copy if you want.” Gu Suixing waved the “golden cudgel” in his hand. “You play the White Bone Demon, let me hit you.”

Lu Nian: "..."

Lu Nian's eyes widened, and she jumped three feet away in an instant, shouting, "No!"

Gu Suixing glanced at her thin arms and legs, guessing that she couldn't withstand his blow, so he didn't force her. Instead, he said another condition: "Then go and tell your grandparents that you want to be in the same class as me and sit next to me in elementary school next year."

Lu Nian: "Why?"

Gu Suixing: "I only let my deskmate copy my homework."

Lu Nian: "But I'm your older sister."

Gu Suixing pointed to the jelly on the coffee table, "That's why I bought you snacks."

Lu Nian grabbed a jelly and put it in her pocket. "Okay."

After copying the homework, Lu Nian told her grandparents that she would be sitting next to Gu Suixing in elementary school.

The two elderly people naturally indulged her in such a small matter.

So on their first day of elementary school, Lu Nian and Gu Suixing became deskmates as they had hoped.

Seeing that his son was always with Lu Nian and didn't play with other little boys, Gu Zhenjun asked his son, "Why are you always sticking to Nian Nian?"

Gu Suixing didn't hide it from his father: "I want to marry her."

Gu Zhenjun: "..."

Although he did want Niannian to be his daughter-in-law, he didn't want his son, who was only in first grade, to be thinking about her.

Gu Zhenjun felt a throbbing pain in his head again. "Do you know what 'wife' means?"

Gu Suixing replied, "Someone to eat, play, and sleep with for a lifetime."

“This person could be someone else,” Gu Zhenjun said. “Why Nian Nian?”

Gu Suixing said in a deep voice, "She has spent so much of my money, and it's already been invested. I can't let it all go to waste."

Gu Zhenjun: "..."

When Huo Yao returned, Gu Zhenjun told her about it.

"He said he wanted to marry Niannian, and I thought this guy liked Niannian, but guess what he said?"

Gu Zhenjun mimicked his son's tone: "'She's spent so much of my money, it's already been invested, we can't let it all go to waste.'"

Huo Yao: "..."

Gu Zhenjun grew angrier the more he thought about it: "How could I have given birth to such a stingy son!"

Huo Yao didn't say anything to her husband, but she talked a lot with her son.

“Before I was with your father, he didn’t spend any money on me,” Huo Yao said.

Gu Suixing looked at her mother with a puzzled expression, as if asking why she was still with her father even though he didn't give her money.

Huo Yao smiled and said, "Of course it's because your father likes me, and I like your father too."

Gu Suixing: "Why do you like my father?"

Huo Yao: "Because he is the man who is the best to me and listens to me the most."

Gu Suixing seemed to understand, but not quite.

Huo Yao patted her son's head and said, "Money is just an external thing; you can earn it back if you lose it. I hope that when you grow up, you will marry a girl you like and who likes you back."

Does he like, and does he like, his girl...?

"Xingbao, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Lu Nian waved her hand in front of Gu Suixing.

Gu Suixing: "There's nothing there."

He just wanted to see if he liked her.

Although he looked at her for a long time, he couldn't see anything except that she seemed to have gained a little weight.

On the way home from school, Gu Suixing asked, "Lu Nian, do you like me?"

Lu Nian replied without hesitation, "I like it."

If you're good-looking, you get pocket money; only a fool wouldn't like that.

Gu Suixing was stunned: She likes me, she said she likes me, but I don't know if I like her or not, what should I do... What if she finds out I don't like her, will she cry... Never mind, I'll just leave it to her for now.

Lu Nian: "Xingbao, I'm so thirsty, I want some juice."

Gu Suixing touched the little pocket money left in his pocket, "...Drink!"

If he doesn't buy it for her, she'll definitely guess that he doesn't like her, and then she'll cry sadly.

He hates seeing girls cry the most.

Lu Nian had no idea that Gu Suixing was so dramatic. Right now, she was thinking: "Xingbao has so much pocket money, she can never spend it all..."

In fact, after buying the juice, Gu Suixing only had one yuan left in his pocket.

Huo Yao went on a business trip a few days ago, and these past few days only Gu Zhenjun and his son Gu Suixing have been at home.

Gu Suixing asked his father for money.

Gu Zhenjun casually remarked, "Don't we give you pocket money every month? How come you've spent it all so quickly?"

Gu Suixing: "Lu Nianhua finished it."

Gu Zhenjun scoffed, "You're supporting your own wife and you still need to ask me for money? Don't you have any shame? Figure it out yourself."

Gu Suixing actually came up with a solution.

The next evening, Huo Yao returned from her business trip and was taking a shower in the bathroom in her bedroom when Gu Suixing, carrying a small pillow, knocked on her parents' bedroom door.

Gu Zhenjun opened the door for him. "What are you doing here instead of sleeping?"

Gu Suixing: "I miss my mom, I want to sleep with her."

Gu Zhenjun's expression immediately changed, "No!"

Gu Suixing: "Mom decides."

They stared at each other for a moment.

Gu Zhenjun swallowed his anger and took out his wallet, saying, "Take the money and get lost!"

Gu Suixing took the money and smiled sweetly at his father: "Thank you, Dad. Goodnight, Dad."

Gu Zhenjun was so disgusted by the sweetness that he wanted to pound his chest.

That brat is really getting his just desserts...
