With just two simple knocks, Xue Fu immediately recognized who was standing outside the door.

When Gu Chong knocked on the door, his knocks were always light and heavy, with a very regular rhythm, making them easy to recognize.

"Who is it? I'll go open the door."

Upon hearing the knock, Xue Mingcheng moved closer to the door and walked towards it.

"Dad! I'll drive—I'll drive!"

However, Xue Fu quickly stepped in front of her father and seized the right to open the door first.

"I'll drive," Xue Fu chuckled, trying to win over her father.

Xue Mingcheng was puzzled, but his daughter gave him a sweet and lovely smile, so he went with her.

He was just opening a door; he was thinking that his daughter felt sorry for him and probably wanted him to walk less.

Xue Mingcheng didn't consider at all who was outside the door.

He had no idea that the person outside was the very pig he wanted to break the legs of, the one who was rooting up the cabbage.

Xue Fu carefully opened the door and peered out.

And indeed, the person who came in was Gu Chong.

only......

She had a hard time explaining it.

silence...

Xue Fu's gaze lingered on him, and she noticed his difference in just a few glances.

Who is this flamboyant man in front of her? And where is her Gu, the honest and simple-minded dog, Chong?

Could it be that Gu Chong left so quickly after dropping her off at the radio station just to go home, get ready, and meet her parents?

Xue Fu had never seen him wear the dark green Lenin suit he was wearing now.

These clothes look brand new, as if they've never been worn; there isn't a single wrinkle on them.

He was still wearing the dark red scarf she had knitted for him.

He had never wanted to wear this scarf before.

After Xue Fu finished knitting it for him, he carefully and cherished it and put it away in the closet.

Xue Fu hadn't seen him wear it before, so she pinched his arm and pretended to be angry as she questioned him why he hadn't worn it after finishing the knitting.

The man replied earnestly, "I want to keep it as a souvenir, Afu. I can't bear to wear it."

This was the first scarf she had knitted for him by hand, and he wanted to treasure it.

Xue Fu was speechless when she heard this.

She frowned, puzzled: "Are you going to keep it as a family heirloom?"

The man actually nodded seriously.

Xue Fu: ...Being love-struck is no good.

Xue Fu took a deep breath and continued to tell him, "I can still knit a scarf, don't be reluctant. I knitted it for you so that I could see you wear it."

"Look, I'm wearing the sweater you knitted for me, aren't I?"

She showed him her new sweater.

Gu Chong is very skilled at knitting sweaters; his stitches are neatly finished, and the size is exceptionally good.

Xue Fu had secretly suspected that Gu Chong might have secretly measured her size while she was taking a nap.

Although Gu Chong obediently nodded and said he understood, Xue Fu still hadn't seen him wear that scarf.

Except for today.

But doesn't he think the combination of green and red looks a bit odd?!

And the green rubber shoes he's wearing now, so clean they're practically spotless.

Xue Fu stared speechlessly at his peacock-like attire, then opened her eyes and met his gaze for two seconds.

"..."

"You..." She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

But then she saw the clothes he had specially changed into, and her eyelids twitched. Taking a breath, Xue Fu's heart softened, and she stepped aside to let him in.

"Come in."

Who is it?

Hearing the commotion, Ji Yazhi looked over and asked her daughter.

Gu Chong was tall, nearly 1.9 meters, and Xue Fu couldn't block his figure at all.

Ji Yazhi and Xue Mingcheng looked over and saw a young man standing behind her daughter.

The young man was dressed smartly, his back was straight, and he looked very upright and spirited.

Judging from his appearance, this person has strong features and a deep-set face. He is very handsome and has a good-looking face.

Moreover, the young man was smiling at them with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, looking very polite and well-mannered, not at all cold or aloof.

It would be even better if this person wasn't Xue Fu's country bumpkin boyfriend.

Ji Yazhi and Xue Mingcheng aren't stupid.

The man who comes to the door at this hour, dressed so 'fancy', what is his identity, what is his intention? Can't these experienced people see through him?

Isn't this just someone who came here eagerly to make a good impression?

Out of the corner of her eye, Ji Yazhi caught a glimpse of her daughter's expression.

She's like a mother hen protecting her chicks, shielding her partner tightly behind her back.

Seeing her daughter looking so worthless, Ji Yazhi felt terrible.

"Rongrong, go inside and pack your things."

Ji Yazhi immediately ordered her to be sent aside.

Xue Fu looked at her mother, and seeing the unyielding look in her mother's eyes, she obediently listened to her mother.

But she was also a little worried about Gu Chong behind her.

She glanced at him discreetly, and Gu Chong returned her a gentle smile to reassure her. He shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine and could manage.

So, under the watchful eyes of her mother and father, Xue Fu slunk into her room and closed the door.

But as soon as the door closed, she put her ear to the door, wanting to hear the conversation outside.

Logically speaking, the courtyard of the educated youth settlement was not large, and she could hear them talking if she listened carefully.

But now that she's pressed against the door, she can't hear them talking at all!

Xue Fu was a little anxious and ran to the window, trying to open it through the crack in the paper window.

She secretly opened the window and saw that there was no one in the yard!

They went outside to talk!

Xue Fu paced anxiously around the room.

However, after a moment of anxiety, she suddenly realized, why was she in such a hurry?

She will never be a daughter who sides with outsiders!

Her parents are respectable people; they certainly wouldn't make things difficult for Gu Chong! What is she worried about?

At most, he could just say a few words to make Gu Chong back down.

If Gu Chong can be dismissed with just a few words and can't even get past this hurdle, then he's pretty useless!

Want to marry her? You're dreaming!

If she was truly stumped by just a few words from her parents, then Xue Fu must have been blind to have misjudged people.

With that thought, Xue Fu was no longer in a hurry.

However, she still had a lot of confidence in Gu Chong.

Her judgment is absolutely impeccable! She can't be wrong! That's just how confident she is!

Xue Fu even had the leisure to sit on the bed and open a can of yellow peaches to eat.

Eating canned yellow peaches in winter is truly a treat!

It's icy cold, but it won't freeze your teeth, and it tastes sweet!

Xue Fu ate, her fox-like eyes narrowing, and she smiled happily.

Ji Yazhi gave the young man a look, and then the three of them went outside to chat.

Once outside, before the couple could even ask any questions, the young man very tactfully began to introduce himself.

Gu Chong's words eased the couple's slightly furrowed brows.
