Chapter 254 I'll Take You Home
Little Peach Blossom rested her head on her hand with a silly grin on her face. She was so proud of herself; this was her boyfriend!
Yin Qing poked her daughter's head in an annoyed tone. "Really, be careful, there are so many people here."
However, the future son-in-law is really good-looking.
Since Lin Guangsheng had agreed, the rest of the conversation became a little more peaceful.
Li Zhen and others?
Oh, since the other parents have already agreed, even if they're upset, they can't cause any trouble. So, they can just keep their anger to themselves.
Having traveled by train for several days, Lin Guangsheng and his wife were quite tired. They had discussed the general direction of things, and there wasn't much else to discuss. So when Yin Qing yawned, everyone, including Xiao Taohua, consciously left.
She's been very busy these days, with the professor's assignments to her becoming increasingly demanding.
Well, we can't entirely blame the professor. It's because Xiao Taohua keeps asking for leave every day, which makes the professor unhappy. He feels that Xiao Taohua can be kept in check a little longer.
What can Xiaotaohua do? Of course, she'll continue to ask for leave.
Which is more important, the object or the knowledge?
Little Peach Blossom's answer was a resounding yes: My boyfriend!
Unfortunately, the professors haven't yet discovered that Xiao Taohua has a boyfriend.
Li Zhen and the others also subconsciously concealed the truth.
Perhaps if Lin Guangsheng and his wife disagree, then the relationship is over.
That's what they're planning.
If you don't say anything, there's still room for maneuver. If you do say something and things really do break up, then your reputation will suffer.
Now...
Thinking of Aunt Yin Qing's happy smile as she looked at Xiao Peichuan, and Uncle Lin Guangsheng's nodding expression despite his dissatisfaction, well, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it really might just be Xiao Taohua's child.
With the arrival of Lin Guangsheng and his wife, Xiao Taohua's reason for asking for leave became even more legitimate—to accompany her parents to tour the capital.
What could the professor do? He had no choice but to release them.
Therefore, Lin Guangsheng and his wife lived a very carefree life in the capital. They were either accompanied by Xiao Taohua or Xiao Peichuan, but mostly by Xiao Peichuan.
At first, the couple was worried about Xiao Pei-chuan's health, but Xiao Pei-chuan smiled and refused, saying that he would tell them if he couldn't make it, but since they had come to the capital, he had to stay with them.
Lin Guangsheng and his wife couldn't persuade him otherwise, so they had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, Xiao Peichuan persevered throughout, and although he looked unwell, he didn't say anything.
After spending a few days with him, to be honest, even the picky Lin Guangsheng and his wife felt that Xiao Peichuan was truly impeccable. He had a good personality, was good-looking, and was very gentle in his dealings with others.
If such a person weren't in poor health, they probably wouldn't even be interested in their own potential romantic interests.
It's not that they're belittling their daughter, but rather that this is the prevailing social norm.
Moreover, Xiao Peichuan also appears to come from a very wealthy family.
The turmoil in your city back then really didn't affect them. Even if the couple didn't know much about this family with a clan school, they knew that such people rarely married outsiders. But now, their daughter had met one and even got her. When they looked at other men, to be honest, none of them could compare to Xiao Peichuan in any way, including Li Zhen and the other outstanding children who grew up right before their eyes.
Without comparison, there is no harm; Lin Guangsheng's final dissatisfaction can be considered to have disappeared.
Hmm, it would be great if Xiao Peichuan were in better health.
However, the couple had great confidence in their daughter's medical skills. As long as she didn't die, they were sure that one day they would be able to cure her.
Having had their fun, the couple felt relieved about their daughter's situation and, not wanting to stay in the capital any longer, bid farewell to everyone.
Xiao Peichuan tried to persuade him to stay several times, but to no avail. In the end, he could only agree, but instructed Xiao Da and Xiao Er to buy a lot of local specialties from the capital so that Lin Guangsheng and his wife could take them back with them.
Lin Guangsheng and his wife accepted it without hesitation, as it was a gift from their future son-in-law!
When they saw her off at the train station, Xiao Taohua was a little reluctant to part, but Lin Guangsheng and his wife were fine with it.
The first parting was painful, but the second parting seemed less so; it's not like we'll never see each other again.
Moreover, during this trip to the capital, the couple saw things that they didn't have in their hometown, and they're now wondering if they should go out and make a big splash there too.
Of course, this is just an idea; putting it into action requires a concrete plan.
"Alright, everyone go back now. Little Peach Blossom, take good care of Pei-chuan's health."
"I know, Mom."
"Pei-chuan, you should also take good care of yourself. After all, our little peach blossom is waiting for you to get better."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I know."
"Okay, everyone go back."
"Mom, let's watch the train go."
"What are you looking at? It's not like we'll never see each other again. Get out of here!" Yin Qing didn't want any more sad farewells and shooed everyone away.
"Let's all go. It's not nice to look all teary-eyed." Lin Guangsheng waved his hand.
Seeing how determined the couple was, Xiao Taohua and the others could only leave reluctantly, looking back as they went.
Only when her daughter was truly out of sight did Yin Qing finally wipe her eyes, saying, "I don't know when we'll be able to see each other again after this."
"Children will eventually grow up and become independent, and they will get married and have children in the future. Well, it's not like we won't see each other."
"You have to say it!"
"Yes, yes, it was my fault."
"It was your fault to begin with!"
Okay, Lin Guangsheng shut up.
Saying anything here is wrong; the smart thing to do is to say nothing.
"Why aren't you saying anything? I think you're just feeling guilty!"
Okay, not saying anything is also wrong.
Regardless of the bickering between the couple, Xiao Taohua seemed a little downcast after leaving the train station, and Xiao Peichuan patted her head.
"Hmm?" Little Peach Blossom looked up.
"I'll be able to go back home during summer vacation. I'll come with you then, okay?"
Little Peach Blossom's eyes lit up immediately: "Great!"
Li Zhen glanced sideways at Xiao Peichuan, "Sweet talk, humph."
But my younger sister is too easy to please.
No, he has to keep a close eye on him and absolutely cannot let Xiao Pei-chuan have too much contact with other female comrades.
Li Zhen was lost in thought when Xiao Taohua started telling Xiao Peichuan about her life in her hometown, and occasionally she would ask Xiao Peichuan about his life there.
Xiao Peichuan's life was rather monotonous. He either wrote and painted or read books. Occasionally, he would go outside to enjoy the scenery, but that was only when there was no wind and the scenery was beautiful.
"Actually, my parents wanted to come too, but I stopped them." As he spoke, Xiao Peichuan smiled at Xiao Taohua: "I'll take you home during summer vacation, okay?"
Without hesitation, Little Peach Blossom nodded: "Okay!"
“I’m going too!” Li Zhen, who was lost in thought, chimed in: “And them, they’re going too.”
"It would be best to have a few people with us," Xiao Peichuan said gently, without getting angry.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Xiao Peichuan looked at Xiao Taohua and said, "Let's go to my house first and stay for a few days. When we go back, I'll bring my parents and we'll go home together. How about we get engaged first?"
"I'll do whatever you say," Little Peach Blossom said cheerfully.
"You should also offer your opinions."
"I have no objections, everything you've arranged is fine."
"Aren't you afraid I'll sell you off?"
"No."
Seeing how confident Xiao Taohua was, Xiao Peichuan's smile became even gentler.
