The next morning.
Gu Fan woke up early. Slightly drunk is when Gu Fan gets the best sleep quality, so he always tries to control his alcohol intake.
When I went out to wash up, my parents were no longer at home.
My dad works in the renovation business, and my mom is a civil servant. Their family's annual income is about 200,000 yuan, which is considered a comfortable middle-class lifestyle.
The apartment in the complex was also bought by my parents; it's 120 square meters, and they only finished paying off the mortgage last year.
Wearing only shorts, Gu Fan stood in the living room for a while in a daze, then slipped into the bathroom to wash up.
Looking at his seven-pack abs reflected in the mirror, Gu Fan smiled with satisfaction.
"After two months of hard training, this captivating figure is truly irresistible to young girls."
Gu Fan is also very handsome. He was the most handsome boy in his class in high school. His fluffy bangs were simply styled into a three-seven split, which made him look somewhat like the male star Lin Zhiying.
Of course, he's still a bit less attractive than a handsome guy who loves reading novels.
After washing his face, Gu Fan changed into his sportswear. He looked at the egg, milk, and bread his mother had made for him on the table, but didn't eat it because he was going for a run.
At 8:05, Gu Fan appeared on the road in the community park.
Running every morning has become a habit for him, and even though there are still two days until school starts, he can't slack off.
A few elderly people and a beautiful woman in yoga clothes were jogging along the road.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Gu? Going for a morning run again today?"
A middle-aged man wearing a light gray workout suit caught up with Gu Fan from behind and greeted him.
"Old Jiang? You're running too?"
When Gu Fan saw an acquaintance, he greeted him warmly.
He met Lao Jiang while playing chess in the park. Lao Jiang also lived in this neighborhood, and Gu Fan heard that he had a daughter, but Gu Fan had never met her.
"When you get old, your bones will rust if you don't exercise," Old Jiang said with a wry smile.
"Are you free? How about a couple of games?"
Gu Fan laughed and said, "Sure!"
After finishing his run, Gu Fan found a chess set and sat down with Lao Jiang by the stone bench.
"Priority to elders."
"Gongzu".
After a few steps, the two reached a stalemate.
"You're quite something, Xiao Gu. I've been practicing this game for over ten years, and very few people can beat me. I remember just a few months ago you couldn't even make a few moves, but now you're getting better and better," Old Jiang praised.
Gu Fan said modestly, "It's not good to keep losing. People have to grow."
The park in the neighborhood is full of skilled fighters, and those old men are no pushovers. After being beaten up a few times, he'll naturally evolve.
"By the way, you should be starting school soon, right?"
Old Jiang asked curiously.
Gu Fan nodded: "Yes."
Old Jiang laughed and said, "My daughter is also about to start school. Sigh, kids grow up and eventually have to leave their parents and live independently."
"That's life. By the way, Lao Jiang, is your daughter in high school?" Gu Fan asked without any mercy as he devoured the other's horse.
"My daughter is a college student now. Speaking of which, she scored 656 points on the college entrance exam. Isn't that amazing?" Old Jiang said proudly, as if showing off.
"656? What a coincidence! A friend of mine also got that many points, but it's still very impressive," Gu Fan said in surprise.
His online friend had the same score, which was quite a coincidence. It was a pity that his online friend was a junior in Beijing, otherwise Gu Fan would have thought that Lao Jiang's daughter was his online friend himself.
Old Jiang's eyes flashed with a strange look, then he asked calmly, "By the way, Gu Gu, if I remember correctly, you went to university in Guangcheng, right?"
Gu Fan nodded: "Yes, Guangcheng West University."
"Is the environment there good? Hmm... I mean, how's the security?" Old Jiang asked curiously.
Gu Fan thought for a moment and said, "The environment is nice, and the people are warm and friendly. They also speak very nicely, but there are quite a few energetic young men over there."
"A spirited young man?"
Old Jiang was clearly unfamiliar with this term.
"It's just Huang Mao, but they're cracking down hard right now, so he's basically safe." Gu Fan said, then suddenly exclaimed with delight, "General!"
Old Jiang was somewhat worried.
Will my precious daughter be bullied over there?
Should I buy a villa there and pick her up from school every day?
But wouldn't my precious daughter dislike me if I did that?
Thinking of this, Old Jiang's gaze fell on Gu Fan. Hmm, the young man looks quite sturdy and strong. He should be able to protect my daughter.
Otherwise, even if his daughter liked him very much, he wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting her to him.
Oh, this worried old father of his! It must have been tough for him!
Seeing his worried expression, Gu Fan assumed he was just upset about losing the game and comforted him, "Old Jiang, why the long face? This is the first time I've won in so long!"
Really? Old Jiang isn't going to be a sore loser, is he?
Old Jiang snapped out of his daze, looked at the chessboard, and realized he had already lost. He shook his head and smiled, "I lost."
"It's nothing. You seem a bit distracted. What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your aunt recently?" Gu Fan teased.
He and Lao Jiang are acquaintances, and sometimes they joke around without any harm.
Old Jiang smiled wryly: "No, how could I dare to argue with that woman? It's just that my daughter is going on a long trip, and as her father, I'm a little reluctant to let her go."
"Take it easy, children will inevitably separate from their parents when they grow up," Gu Fan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Old Jiang became even more worried.
After the game of chess was over, Gu Fan got up to say goodbye: "Old Jiang, I have to go back and cook dinner."
"Okay, let's have a drink sometime when we have time."
"middle!"
Watching Gu Fan leave, Old Jiang looked somewhat depressed. He took out his phone and made a call.
"Hey Dad, what's wrong?"
A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.
Old Jiang's brows furrowed with tenderness and love: "My dear daughter, are you awake?"
"Of course, do you think I'm a pig? Of course I'd get up at midday."
"You're starting school the day after tomorrow, shall I take you there?" Old Jiang said with a smile.
"Sure, my mom's busy anyway, but aren't you in Yucheng?"
Old Jiang smiled faintly and said, "I'll be going back in a couple of days. I can't let your mother manage the company by herself."
"Okay, see you then."
After hanging up the phone, Old Jiang narrowed his eyes and then made another call: "Have someone come and take over the Lucky Community in Yucheng."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
Old Jiang stretched and sighed, "Hey, I took a six-month vacation just to find out what my future son-in-law is all about. I'm such a good dad."
One day later.
Having avoided the peak period of the start of the school year, Gu Fan arrived at school early.
Guangcheng West University is a key university in China. Gu Fan was admitted to it with a score of 681.
He originally wanted to apply to Peking University with his score, but the cutoff score was too high that year, and he was rejected.
Gu Fan lives in Room 201, Building A, Moral Education Building, the boys' dormitory.
When I arrived at the dormitory door, it was unlocked, obviously some of my roommates had arrived earlier.
