"Brother, cover me!"

Yang Zinuo seemed to be fighting a fierce battle. He grabbed a steamed bun in each hand and disappeared into the study like an arrow.

His foot had barely disappeared past the door when Li Huili knocked and came in.

Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun welcomed Li Huili in.

"Xiao Gu, Jingya, are you two the only ones home?"

Li Huili placed a steaming plate of dumplings on the dining table. "Your parents are working overtime on the weekend? Their work is too hard! I haven't seen them for days!"

Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun simply smiled and remained silent.

Li Huili pointed at the dumplings and said, "You two should try them while they're hot. They're filled with mutton and scallions!"

In the late 1970s, even in a bustling metropolis like Beijing, very few families were willing to eat mutton.

Chen Jingyan thought to herself, Yang Zinuo is really quite lucky. As soon as she gets home, her mother cooks delicious food for her.

Unfortunately, he's too old to enjoy it; he's probably already full from eating cornbread.

Gu Zhiyun asked, "Auntie, do we have important guests at home today?"

As expected, Gu Zhiyun understands the Gu family best. Li Huili nodded and said, "Someone introduced Xiao Nuo to a girl who is a dancer in the cultural troupe! Xiao Nuo is really something. He was supposed to have lunch with the girl, but he had to leave early because of something else! The girl wasn't angry at all. She even came back to tell me and your uncle, which made us feel really bad. We couldn't just let her leave like that, could we? So I invited her to stay for dinner, thinking that when Xiao Nuo went home, the two of them could still chat for a while."

Yang Zinuo, who was hiding in the study eating a cornbread bun, was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Bai Haitang is still in his house?

He had originally planned to have dinner at Gu Zhiyun's house and then go home later, using the excuse of being tired to get some rest and avoid his parents' deep kisses.

Now look what's happened, I can't even go home!

"Alright, we still have guests, so I won't stay any longer!" (Biquge)

Li Huili stood up and started to walk out, muttering to herself as she went, "Oh dear, that Xiao Nuo is really something, still not home so late. Even after joining the army, she's still like a kid, running around everywhere and never home!"

Hearing this, Yang Zinuo became even more nervous.

Gu Zhiyun smiled and said, "Auntie, I ran into Lao Yang this afternoon. He said there was an emergency at school and he had already gone back."

Li Huili was greatly disappointed: "Is that so? This child is really something. He didn't even say a word before leaving, making the girl wait all day for nothing. What kind of behavior is this!"

Gu Zhiyun explained, "He attends a military academy, which is different from a regular university. You have to be on standby at all times and obey orders. He probably hasn't finished his work yet, so he doesn't have time to make a phone call."

Li Huili expressed her understanding, but her expression remained disappointed.

"Oh well, let it be. Consider it as me giving birth to a son for the country!"

After Li Huili left, Yang Zinuo walked out of the study dejectedly.

"Brother, I can't thank you enough. It seems I'll have to go back to school tonight."

Shen Jingyan felt a little sorry for this "homeless child" who couldn't go home.

"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever, Lao Yang. If you don't like that girl, you should tell your parents and the girl herself as soon as possible. Otherwise, what excuse will you make up next time you come home?"

Yang Zinuo scratched his head in distress.

Shen Jingyan enthusiastically offered him advice: "Why don't you tell your parents that you already have someone you like?"

Yang Zinuo waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no! If I say that, my parents will definitely make me bring her home..."

Gu Zhiyun joked, "That's true, you can't bring the girl you like home now."

The girl is still a minor.

"Or you could say you're busy with your studies right now and don't have the time or inclination to date, and you'll think about it in two years?"

"I am calm," Chen Jingyan suggested.

Yang Zinuo's expression became even more distressed.

"This reason would definitely work for Mr. Gu's parents, but the problem is that my parents didn't go to college, so they're not that open-minded! They wish I could go on a blind date today, pick a wedding date tomorrow, and have a grandchild next year! If I said that, they would nag me to death!"

He got angrier and angrier as he spoke, and slapped Gu Zhiyun hard on the back of the head.

"It's all your fault. You didn't even finish college, and you were already in a hurry to get a marriage certificate with Jingya. If my parents hadn't seen you two get a marriage certificate, would they be in such a rush to introduce me to other women?"

Gu Zhiyun retorted, "Your own thoughts are impure; you like that young girl, yet you blame me for going through the proper procedures to get a marriage certificate?"

In verbal sparring, Yang Zinuo was never a match for Gu Zhiyun, and was defeated as soon as they clashed.

He quickly finished his dinner and rushed to catch the last bus back to school.

...

After the weekend, the two returned to school on Sunday afternoon.

The thought of having to live in separate male and female dormitories when he returned to school made Gu Zhiyun feel like a big bear preparing for winter, insisting on eating his fill of meat before he would leave.

As a result, half of the small umbrellas were used up in just two days, and Shen Jingyan was made to cry several times.

I need to drink some spring water each time to recover.

The effects of the spiritual spring water were immediate. To test the effects of this magical water on plants, before leaving, Shen Jingyan poured a few drops of spiritual spring water on a withered rose in the Gu family's courtyard.
