The next morning.
Gu Fan got up early, dressed, packed his luggage, and went out.
Meanwhile, Old Jiang and his wife were having breakfast.
Both of them were somewhat surprised to see Gu Fan.
"Gu Fan? You're up so early?" Madam Jiang asked in surprise.
Gu Fan smiled and said, "Because my train ticket is for 10 o'clock."
"But it's only a little past seven o'clock now," Old Jiang said calmly.
"I can't sleep, Uncle, Sister Lin, are you both going to the company?" Gu Fan asked curiously.
"I'm not going, Old Jiang is going. I'm just having breakfast," Madam Jiang said with a smile.
Both he and his wife are CEOs of the company, so usually only one of them needs to go.
"Come on over and have breakfast with us," Old Jiang called out.
Gu Fan nodded.
After breakfast, Lao Jiang went to work, while Gu Fan and Madam Jiang rested in the living room.
"Mengmeng hasn't woken up yet, are you in a hurry?" Madam Jiang looked at Gu Fan.
The latter checked his phone; it was a little past eight o'clock. It would take about half an hour to get to the station from here, and their train was at around ten o'clock, so it was about time.
Madam Jiang suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't you cancel your train tickets? I'll have the driver take you directly to the school."
Gu Fan was flattered by her words and thanked her, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Lin."
He had originally planned to take the high-speed train back with Jiang Yumeng, since the girl had never tried it before, but now it seems he can only do so another time.
Around nine o'clock, Jiang Yumeng finally came downstairs.
"Huh? Senior, you're up so early?" Jiang Yumeng was a little surprised to see Gu Fan sitting on the sofa looking at his phone.
Gu Fan looked at her. She was wearing a cartoon pajama set, her hair was messy, and her little face still had a hint of confusion, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
He smiled indulgently and said, "Come down quickly."
Jiang Yumeng came downstairs and naturally sat down next to Gu Fan, hugging his arm and squinting her eyes slightly: "Ugh, so sleepy!"
Gu Fan rubbed her head and said, "I'll cancel the train tickets. We'll go back later."
Jiang Yumeng nodded, then suddenly remembered something. She opened her eyes abruptly and exclaimed in shock, "Oh! Didn't we buy high-speed rail tickets?!"
Hearing this, Gu Fan was both amused and exasperated: "You're only realizing it now?"
It seems the girl has completely forgotten about this? No wonder she's sleeping so soundly.
Gu Fan was now glad he had listened to Sister Lin and refunded the tickets.
Jiang Yumeng blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed, and apologized, "I'm sorry, senior, I forgot."
Gu Fan didn't mind: "It's okay. Are you hungry? Go have some breakfast."
After seeing her young mistress come down, the aunt started heating up the breakfast.
After having breakfast with Jiang Yumeng, she pulled him into her room.
"Um, I... I'll change my clothes first..." Jiang Yumeng said shyly to Gu Fan, holding a dress in her arms.
Gu Fan was taken aback, then realized what he meant: "Should I go out and avoid them?"
“No need…” Jiang Yumeng shook her head, glanced at him, and then went into the bathroom.
Gu Fan chuckled and then continued packing the girl's things.
Around eleven o'clock, Madam Jiang had a servant come up to call the two of them for dinner.
At 12:30, Madam Jiang saw Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng off to their car at the villa entrance.
"Mom, let's go back to school then!"
Jiang Yumeng waved her little hand at Madam Jiang.
The latter smiled and nodded: "Be careful on the road, and Gu Fan, please take good care of Mengmeng at school."
Gu Fan smiled and replied, "Definitely, don't worry, Sister Lin."
The car started slowly.
"Finally, I'm going back to school!" Jiang Yumeng stretched and said happily.
Gu Fan smiled and looked at her, "Hmm? So happy to be back at school?"
Jiang Yumeng smiled and said, "Because it's more free at school."
With family members watching them at home, they didn't even dare to make intimate gestures. They had to sneak around even to kiss. This was incredibly agonizing for the couple in love.
Throughout the journey, Jiang Yumeng was very excited and kept talking to Gu Fan.
Upon arriving at school, Gu Fan helped Jiang Yumeng carry her luggage downstairs to the dormitory building.
"Hehe, thank you so much, senior. You've really gone to a lot of trouble," Jiang Yumeng said gratefully.
"It's alright, go back quickly, the sun is so strong." Gu Fan smiled and waved goodbye.
Watching Gu Fan's departing figure, Jiang Yumeng felt a strange emotion rising in her heart.
With her family's approval, she felt that their future was bright, and she couldn't help but smile at the thought.
Gu Fan also returned to his dormitory.
This made Liu Qian extremely happy.
"Old Gu! You're finally back! I've missed you so much!"
Seeing the other person's excited expression, just like his son's, Gu Fan raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing, kid?"
Liu Qian said somewhat embarrassedly, "Since none of you are here, I'm usually the only one in the dorm. I'm getting really bored."
"Lin Jie is home?" Gu Fan asked after putting down his luggage.
“Yeah, he went back Saturday morning. His home is nearby. He went home to enjoy himself,” Liu Qian said with a sigh.
That's very much like Lin Jie.
"Don't you have a girlfriend? Why don't you ask her out?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qian became even more embarrassed: "Going out on dates costs a lot of money, doesn't it? My food expenses are almost over this month."
After starting a relationship, he realized how much money he was spending. Just eating out would cost a couple hundred yuan, not to mention staying in a hotel, which would cost several hundred yuan for two days, equivalent to a week's worth of food expenses.
Gu Fan clicked his tongue and said, "Dating doesn't necessarily have to cost money. You can just take her shopping, take a walk, chat, and get to know each other better."
Liu Qian pursed his lips: "Then forget it. It's so hot. I'd rather stay in the dorm with the air conditioning on."
"You're a real genius!"
Gu Fan ignored him and took out the suit to wash it.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you wearing a suit?" Liu Qian asked curiously.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just went to meet my junior's parents," Gu Fan said casually.
"Oh, I see... What... (⊙_⊙;)..."
He stared wide-eyed: "You've already met the parents?"
Gu Fan nodded innocently: "Is there a problem with that?"
Liu Qian's expression was strange: "There's a problem, of course there's a problem! You're really fast, kid! You've only been single for a short time and you've already met the parents? This is developing way too fast!"
"Even if it's fast, it can't be as fast as you, right? You'd have to eat by then. I can't understand your fast-food style of dating." Gu Fan shook his head.
To be honest, Liu Qian was really fast. They had already consummated their marriage after only a few weeks of dating. How open-minded is that?
On the other hand, his progress has only reached the point of kissing.
Suddenly remembering something, Gu Fan looked down at his palm, clenched it slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
