At the same time, it was a mix of emotions.
Grandpa always hoped that he could find a partner and stop being a bachelor, which made him worry less.
He finally has a girlfriend now, but because of the two different timelines, he can never bring her to him.
However, there are always more solutions than problems.
You can't see the person, but you can see the photo.
Another day, he would find an opportunity to have Zhou Wenyi wear something not too extravagant and take two black and white photos with a Seagull camera.
I'll wash it and show it to Grandpa and the others when the time comes.
If you really can't get away with it later, just make up a lie about studying abroad.
Anyway, this is the time of year when people are eager to go abroad, and young people with all sorts of dreams and aspirations are embarking on their journeys overseas.
If they leave for several years, it would be understandable if they didn't come back or stayed there.
Gu Wei was making plans here.
Meanwhile, Zhou Wenyi was cleaning the manager's office.
Because they had confirmed their relationship, everyone in the shop knew about it, so she took over the job completely.
No longer do we take turns with others like before.
Although Gu Wei didn't come to this office often, there were still some of his personal belongings there.
For example, water cups, notebooks, and other small items.
Zhou Wenyi is now completely preoccupied with him, and seeing things only intensifies her longing for him, causing her to pick up one item after another.
But when she was overwhelmed with longing, she took out her phone, swiped her fingers across it, hesitated for a long time, and did not send a message.
Because it was her first relationship, she was completely devoted to it, yet extremely cautious, fearing that she might do something wrong that would make her boyfriend dislike her.
Gu Wei has always valued his personal space and didn't like to contact people, so over time, everyone got used to it.
Just as Zhou Wenyi was carefully wiping the mouse and keyboard, her phone in her pants pocket beeped.
She immediately put down the soft cloth and took out her phone with a look of surprise in her eyes.
However, she discovered that it was her mother who sent her the WeChat message, and she immediately slumped her shoulders in disappointment.
The message read: "The person has arrived; they're in the parking lot of the private restaurant."
Zhou Wenyi's expression froze.
She suspected that her brother had told their mother on them.
He immediately rushed downstairs.
When Zhou's mother saw her graceful and radiant daughter running towards her, she felt a sense of pride.
Of her two children, only her daughter resembles her most, while her son looks more like her husband.
"Mom, what brings you here today?"
Zhou Wenyi planned to play dumb for now, so as soon as she got into the car, she asked a question she already knew the answer to.
Zhou's mother glanced at her and said, "I've come to see my precious daughter. People in love are so different; women dress up for their lovers and look so beautiful."
Zhou Wenyi blushed instantly and clung to her mother's arm, pouting, "Mom! How can you talk about your own daughter like that? And my brother too, he's such a blabbermouth. We ran into him at the movie theater yesterday, and I was thinking he might tell you when he got home."
Zhou's mother tapped the tip of her nose. "Your brother is just concerned about you. He's afraid that you're too young and inexperienced, and that you'll be deceived in your feelings."
“No way!” Zhou Wenyi said excitedly. “Gu Wei is a really good person, very upright. You’ll see when you meet him.”
She believed that her mother would also like Gu Wei.
However, since the two have just started dating, it's too early for them to meet each other's parents.
Zhou's mother said with a half-smile, "I don't know if he's good or not, but he is indeed very charming. Look how infatuated you are. You're giving up your shopping spree to come here to work."
At first, I sensed something was off. But I never expected that someone as easily enthusiastic as you, whose passion fades quickly, could persist for so long for someone you like.
Zhou Wenyi blushed even more after being teased by her mother, but it was also clear that her mother did not object to their relationship.
"Mom, to be honest, I'm so glad I persevered, otherwise, our relationship wouldn't have even started!"
Zhou Wenyi didn't want to elaborate further, but continued, "What did my brother say to you? Did he not say anything good about Gu Wei? Since he's unkind, I'll be unkind too. I saw him with a short-haired girl at the movie theater... it was obviously not a proper boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."
Zhou's mother didn't interfere much in her son's love life, because this boy had been constantly in the spotlight since high school, and even after he went to college, he kept changing partners every few days. So she wasn't surprised at all when she heard her daughter's comments.
She ruffled Zhou Wenyi's hair. "You misunderstood your brother. He even told us that Gu Wei is a good person."
"Really?" Zhou Wenyi asked skeptically.
"Of course it's true. But you have to understand, what can you do when some rascal steals his sister away?"
Upon hearing her mother's words, Zhou Wenyi smiled.
"Okay, I'll understand this time."
Zhou's mother came here today for a very simple reason.
Besides bringing fruit to my daughter and having a chat, I also wanted to hide away and take a look at Gu Wei.
Is he in the store now?
Zhou Wenyi shook her head. "No. He usually doesn't come to the shop; he has other things to do."
Zhou's mother was immediately disappointed. "Then I won't be able to see him?"
"I can't see him in person, but I can show you how handsome he is."
Zhou Wenyi proudly took out her phone, opened the photo album, and flipped to a group photo they had taken yesterday. "Take a look."
Zhou's mother smiled and took the phone, squinting as she looked at the photos on the screen.
