Chapter 162 Meeting the Parents
With the arrival of a cold front, late December has already brought us into the depths of winter.
Before we knew it, Yenching University students were entering final week.
During final exam week, the seats in Yenching University's library are almost always full; there are no empty seats without a reservation.
In the first semester of university, some people go crazy having fun, while others are busy with various club activities. At this time, everyone should take advantage of the last bit of time to review and try to pass the grade requirements.
Conversely, the final exam week was a bit easier for Cong Chun. Since he had no classes recently, he could spend more time doing his own things.
The boy, carrying his pencil case, had just finished his last exam and was leaving the classroom.
Cong Chun was wearing a black cotton-padded coat, which was light and warm, and unusually, it was one that Cong Chun had bought herself.
Every Friday night, Cong Chun would work as a tutor. Last week was the last time, as Rou Tuan's school was already on holiday, and Ji Feng was preparing for his school's final exams.
The two shared with Cong Chun that they planned to go on vacation to some countries in the Southern Hemisphere during the winter break after Ji Feng finished his exams, where it was currently a sunny summer.
Cong Chun had just received his salary and bought some cotton-padded clothes to send back to his grandmother. It just so happened that winter was coming late to his home, and he was just putting them to use.
Cong Chun also bought a piece of clothing for Duan Mingxiao. The young master gave him so many clothes, but Cong Chun only gave him one.
It was a sports jacket from a domestic sports brand, and it was quite expensive; it cost over 700 yuan in physical stores.
The young master has never worn clothes worth less than 10,000 in his entire life.
However, Duan Mingxiao was very happy when he received it and even posted it on his WeChat Moments.
The young men in the comments section didn't recognize the brand Cong Chun had given them; they thought it was a custom-made item from the young master.
Later, when Duan Mingxiao wore this garment out, he wouldn't allow anyone to touch it, fearing that these reckless people would damage it.
As for why Duan Mingxiao didn't keep it in the closet for protection, it's because the young master couldn't resist showing off.
Look, my wife bought me these clothes, do you guys have any?
Don't be too envious of me.
When Cong Chun made his purchase, the sales assistant also recommended one to him. Unable to resist her enthusiasm, Cong Chun tried it on and felt it was pretty good.
Most importantly, it was on a big sale; this cotton-padded jacket was 50% off, bringing the price down to just over 80 yuan. Cong Chun thought about it for a moment and decided to buy it as a reward for himself.
That way they all received a gift.
Wearing his newly bought cotton-padded coat, Cong Chun wasn't nervous during the exam, but now he's a little nervous.
The young master had told him some time ago that he would be going back to the Duan family's old house for dinner tonight.
Although Yenching University is a century-old institution, it has an open and free academic atmosphere. Except during class time, students attend classes in designated classrooms, and there are no curfews for students returning to their dormitories late at night.
Cong Chun moved out to live with Duan Mingxiao without needing to submit any application to the counselor.
Cong Chun would occasionally run into Guan Ran, who was also attending a general education class, and Guan Ran would greet him.
The two chatted for a while and learned that Guan Ran had recently joined the SX team. Although he was a substitute, Guan Ran knew that his skills were limited and he was already very satisfied.
However, Guan Ran was still taken aback when he learned that the reason Cong Chun was moving out was because she was living with Duan Mingxiao.
There are plenty of playboys in the circle who don't discriminate between men and women, but Guan Ran never expected that Duan Mingxiao would actually like boys.
No, it's simply unbelievable that someone like Duan Mingxiao would be in a relationship.
However, Guan Ran wasn't a gossipy person, and at least he wouldn't gossip about this to the elders of the Duan family.
In fact, Guan Ran was not quite clear about it.
Yun Lanshuang secretly obtained Cong Chun's contact information from Duan Mingxiao, and the young master hesitated for a while before giving it to her.
Duan Mingxiao simply didn't want to give it to Cong Chun; his mother was too enthusiastic and would scare Cong Chun away.
However, Ms. Yun eventually arrived.
Then the woman created a small group chat, first adding Cong Chun, and then the Duan family father and son.
Yun Lanshuang knew about Cong Chun's family situation; he was just an elderly person.
That is, Cong Chun's grandmother. The old lady doesn't know how to use a smartphone.
There were only four people in the group. Yun Lanshuang was the group owner. Duan Mingxiao glanced at it and was not very happy. He also wanted to be the group owner.
A while ago, Yun Lanshuang posted about having dinner in the group chat, inviting Cong Chun and Duan Mingxiao to come home for dinner today.
In the bar, Ji Ruhui sent another message to Duan Mingxiao. He had recently started dating a new girl, a freshman at Yanda University who was very pretty and a minor internet celebrity.
It was said to be his girlfriend's birthday, and Duan Mingxiao thought he should bring Cong Chun along for a get-together.
There were no other people, just some of his girlfriend's best friends and a few brothers from the group chat.
Duan Mingxiao refused without even thinking.
At this moment, Ji Ruhui saw the rejection message sent by Duan Mingxiao. Young Master Ji immediately replied with a voice message, which was filled with howling and wailing.
Duan Mingxiao was in a good mood, but with a furrowed brow, the young master suppressed his annoyance and explained the reason.
"Take my wife back to the old house for dinner."
Ji Ruhui was speechless.
He knew that Duan Mingxiao was serious about his relationship, and A-Can couldn't wait to have his eyes glued to Cong Chun, acting like the dignified young master of Jinghai was worthless.
However, Xiao Congchun is good-looking, intelligent, and interesting, but his family background is a bit lacking.
When Lu Tinglan was admitted to the hospital, I was the first to rush over. Originally, A-Can told me that the other party was well-behaved and that I was afraid of being bullied, so I rushed over. I didn't expect Xiao Congchun to beat Lu Tinglan up like that.
It's a pity that Xiao Congchun is a man, otherwise Ji Ruhui would also want to marry him.
The thought flashed through Ji Ruhui's mind, and he was startled by his own reflection.
However, Ji Ruhui could only think about such a thing in his mind.
He would never dare tell anyone else, especially if Ah-Can found out.
This time, Ji Ruhui has truly become a dead chicken.
Under the tree, at the entrance of Yenching University, a limited-edition silver-black Koenigsegg was parked.
Cong Chun had just come out of the school gate when he got into Duan Mingxiao's passenger seat.
The car was heated. As soon as Cong Chun got in, he took off his cotton-padded coat, which was then taken by the young master. Both of them were wearing simple hoodies, different colors, but the styles were exactly the same.
Duan Mingxiao reached out with his long fingers and adjusted Cong Chun's hoodie hood.
A moment later, the veins on the back of the boy's hand were bulging as he gripped the matte black steering wheel. As if sensing Cong Chun's unease about the upcoming dinner, Duan Mingxiao took the initiative to speak, trying to ease Cong Chun's mood.
"Want to learn to drive?"
A boy with a deep voice is a rare sign of good patience.
It's more convenient to ride an electric scooter to and from school or to pick up a package, and you don't need a license to ride one on the university campus.
Learning to drive is different; you have to pay for a license and put in some effort, but more importantly, you need to have the time.
Duan Mingxiao knew that Cong Chun loved learning and would most likely agree without hesitation.
However, the young master only guessed half of it correctly.
Cong Chun's mood was indeed stirred up, and he responded cheerfully.
"I want to learn to drive, I want to drive a bulldozer."
Cong Chun's reason was simple: when building roads, bulldozers, sand trucks, and road rollers are needed.
The young master's eye twitched.
"Don't I look cool driving race cars?"
Duan Mingxiao is going abroad in a few days to participate in the qualifying rounds of Formula One World Championship.
Although this competition will not be included in the final overall score.
However, qualifying determines the starting order for the drivers in the final race.
The higher the ranking in the qualifying rounds, the better, so this competition is quite important for Duan Mingxiao.
The official qualifying race will be held in California, USA, on the 7th of next month, which is January 7th of next year.
Then for a whole month, Duan Mingxiao had very little time, because competitions of all sizes came one after another, including various friendly matches and exhibition matches.
Cong Chun also participated in Bai Xun's project and plans to stay on campus for a period of time during the winter break. Many students at Yenching University choose to leave campus late during the winter break to stay on campus and work on projects.
This time, Cong Chun wasn't in a hurry to go back to see his grandmother; he planned to go back a few weeks before the Spring Festival.
Because Cong Chun was determined to bring his grandmother to Jinghai City, he was always worried about leaving her alone at home, even though there were surveillance cameras installed.
Every time Cong Chun sees her grandmother sitting alone at the door through the surveillance camera on her phone screen, she feels a pang of sadness.
Grandma had no one to talk to in the village.
If something were to happen to Grandma's health, Cong Chun would be even less able to get back immediately.
The young master had told me that the public places for the elderly in Jinghai were very well done. Grandma could make many friends here, and there were also many elderly people of Grandma's age attending senior citizen universities.
Cong Chun knew that her grandmother was reluctant to come to Jinghai City, mainly because she was afraid of being a burden to him.
Moreover, although Cong Chun is somewhat slow to understand emotions and is very straightforward in expressing them, he is quite shrewd when it comes to making money.
He had almost no leisure time, except when Duan Mingxiao insisted on dragging him to play games or watch some movies.
Cong Chun often teaches himself design software, immersing himself in it and enjoying it immensely.
Over the course of the semester, he won many awards, not to mention that Cong Chun sometimes took orders online.
Cong Chun has his own little savings, and he wants to rent a house so he can live with his grandmother.
Cong Chun will work hard to earn more money so that his grandmother can live a good life and design a house for her.
Duan Mingxiao sometimes marveled at how clever Cong Chun was. For example, each of their racing teams had engineers who specialized in improving the performance of their race cars. The young master felt that the little car Cong Chun had given him was quite extraordinary.
If Cong Chun were to become a racing car engineer, he would definitely be in high demand.
