Chapter 319 Visiting Parents
Zhou Zhenxing and Zhuo Lanyu strolled on the training field bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Even as the chill brushed against her face, Zhuo Lanyu still wore a faint smile.
She enjoyed taking casual walks with him like this.
“Brother Zhou? Actually, you can come home with me tonight for New Year’s Eve dinner, and you can even have a couple of drinks with my dad.”
She extended an invitation directly, making a special trip to the company to find him before going home.
Zhou Zhenxing seemed not to hear her words, and just kept walking forward.
Zhuo Lanyu noticed his unusual behavior, and her smile faded slightly. "Brother Zhou?"
What important thing is he thinking about that makes him so distracted while chatting with her?
Zhou Zhenxing only realized his lapse in composure when he met her probing gaze.
What did you just say?
"Brother Zhou, why are you so absent-minded?"
Before Zhou Zhenxing could even process what was happening, he had already lied, "I... I was thinking about my mom, and I don't know how she spent her day."
Zhuo Lanyu immediately felt relieved after hearing his words.
"Your uncle and aunt must be thinking of you at home too."
Zhou Zhenxing hummed in response, then changed the subject, "What did you just say?"
Zhuo Lanyu smiled again, "I said you can come home with me tonight for the New Year."
Zhou Zhenxing wasn't as happy as he'd imagined. He subconsciously said, "Tonight is a day for family reunion. It's not appropriate for an outsider like me to go."
“How could you be an outsider? I’ve told my parents about you many times, and they’ve been wanting to meet you for a long time.”
Zhuo Lanyu, who is usually carefree, blushed slightly when she said those words.
Although they haven't explicitly stated their relationship, there's an unspoken understanding between them.
"Do they know me?" Zhou Zhenxing felt inexplicably nervous.
Zhuo Dongsheng's status is not low, and he is not ready to let Zhuo Dongsheng know about his existence so early.
“Yes. They need to know what kind of people their daughter is associating with,” Zhuo Lanyu said matter-of-factly, which also confirmed their relationship.
She felt the time was right and there was no need to hide anything.
Zhou Zhenxing suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Zhuo Lanyu was a little shy, but all she could say was gentleness. "Brother Zhou, my parents are very nice people. They will definitely like you when they see you."
Zhou Zhenxing felt he should be happy, because he liked the girl in front of him.
They share common ideals and, more importantly, a common language.
She admired him and was able to understand him.
He hopes to spend the rest of his life with a girl like that.
But……
Why is he more confused than happy now that his wish has been fulfilled?
"Lan Yu, can you give me a little more time?"
Zhuo Lanyu thought he was nervous because he was going to meet her parents, and since it was her sudden suggestion, it was normal that he wasn't mentally prepared.
"Of course, although I'd love for you to come home with me tonight."
After saying that, I still hoped that he would muster up his courage because of her.
Zhou Zhenxing said stiffly, "Tonight is New Year's Eve, and as the company commander, I have to stay and celebrate the New Year with everyone."
Zhuo Lanyu was indeed a little disappointed when she heard him say that, but the more he valued the company, the more she liked him.
"Then wait a few days, and you can't make excuses then."
After all, they would eventually have to visit each other's parents, so that their relationship could proceed more naturally.
