The bicycle sped all the way to the compound, and after registering, it soon arrived at Zhao's house.
As the distance got closer, Gu Mingjing became unusually nervous, no longer as calm as before.
Noticing his pace slowing down, Jian Shu stopped and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, "What's wrong?"
"Shu, Shushu, I'm a little nervous." Gu Mingjing said in a low voice with some stuttering.
???
What? You're nervous?
Jianshu was shocked.
He looked so calm before, not even nervous at all. But now that we've arrived at our destination, he's getting nervous?
Jianshu: “…” Are the reflex nerves so long?
"Why don't you go outside and relax? It's not nine o'clock yet, so there's still time," she suggested.
Maybe if I go outside and get some fresh air, I won’t be so nervous?
Gu Mingjing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head after thinking about it. "No, no, let's go in early."
It's a bit inappropriate to be at the door and not go in.
Jianshu didn't object to his choice, but just asked, "Are you sure? You don't look very good right now."
"Huh..." Gu Mingjing took a deep breath and exhaled. Feeling his heart beating faster, he nodded, "Well, let's go in."
In his current condition, it’s not certain whether he can calm down outside, so it’s better for him to go in early.
Sooner or later, you'll have to face it. There's no point putting it off. As time goes by, you might even get more nervous.
"Okay." Seeing that he said so, Jianshu had no choice but to agree.
"Then let's go. Uncle Zhao and the others should be waiting at home."
"etc."
Jian Shu, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard the voice and asked, "Huh?"
Changed your mind? Ready for a break?
"No, Shushu, please help me check if there is anything wrong with me. There is no mirror here and I can't see it." Gu Mingjing adjusted his clothes.
He hopes to face everything that comes next with the best attitude.
After hearing his request, Jian Shu carefully looked him up and down, then nodded, "No, very energetic!"
"Really? Oh, and the back, show it to me again." Gu Mingjing confirmed again.
Jian Shu felt a little helpless. Was this guy too nervous? Was it really okay to go in like this? She was worried that his legs would be sore as soon as he entered that he would kneel down.
But no matter how helpless she was, she still stepped forward and patted his back, pretending to tidy up, "Okay, now it's really okay."
If I don't find him some problems, he won't be able to let go.
Fearing he might get up to something more serious, Jianshu, whose patience was fading, took the initiative. "Are you still leaving? Or would you like to stay outside for a while? I'll give you a haircut and a shave."
"Let's go! Let's go now!" Gu Mingjing responded quickly.
After saying that, he picked up his things and walked towards the door holding Jianshu's hand.
“Knock knock—”
The door opened after just two knocks.
"Shushu and Mingjing are here, come in quickly." Meng Ying, dressed formally, had a smile on her face and looked at the young couple in front of her with satisfaction.
"Hello, Auntie." Gu Mingjing greeted her immediately with a very sincere attitude.
"Okay, okay, you too." Meng Ying's face was full of joy.
Besides Gu Zhan, she was the one who was most satisfied with the two of them being together. In her opinion, there was no better match than the two of them.
He quickly welcomed the person into the house.
Jianshu walked in very calmly, but Gu Mingjing seemed a little restrained.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Zhao Mingze sitting upright on the sofa reading a newspaper, and Zhao Yueling and Zhao Tianrui were playing games next to him.
Except for Zhao Tianlei who was in the army and could not come back, the whole family was present. They were all dressed very formally, and it was obvious that they took today's event very seriously.
For this purpose, Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying both took a day off. Zhao Tianrui, who loved to sleep in, got up early. Zhao Yueling, who liked quietness, played games with her lively brother to appease him.
And all this is to welcome Jianshu and Gu Mingjing.
Even Zhao Tianlei, who was far away, called back to inquire about this matter after learning about it, and had a "friendly" conversation with Gu Mingjing.
He also asked her to call him back after the wedding date was set, and he would try his best to come back in time.
"Hello, Uncle Zhao!" As soon as he entered the room, he saw the serious and powerful Zhao Mingze. Gu Mingjing was very nervous and greeted him loudly. However, due to his nervousness, the voice was a little loud.
This shout scared the pretentious Zhao Mingze.
Jianshu couldn't help but cover his face.
"You kid, your voice is really loud?" Zhao Mingze, who felt a little embarrassed when he saw that his show of power failed and he was scared instead, spoke with a serious face and a slightly deep voice.
Gu Mingjing felt a little embarrassed and was about to apologize when Meng Ying, who had poured the tea and came over, spoke first.
She placed the tray on the coffee table and patted Zhao Mingze's shoulder unhappily. "Come on, there's no stranger here. Who are you showing off to? Just get over it. Today is a good day. Don't spoil the fun, okay?"
There is a strong threat between the lines.
Did she not know him yet? Ever since she found out Shushu had agreed to marry her, she had started to act like a jerk, getting stuck in a rut and unable to get out of it. She kept muttering about giving that brat a lesson.
No matter how she persuaded them, they all came over, and no matter how she presented facts and reasoned with them, it was of no use.
What happened today was definitely intentional, just to take advantage of the situation. How could he be scared so easily?
If he really had this much courage, he would have died in some corner long ago.
At other times, I would just let it go and not bother to pay attention to him, but this matter cannot be left to him like this.
The couple has a good relationship and gets along well, so isn't this a natural outcome?
Seeing that the matter was about to be accomplished, he suddenly became petty and asked why he was interfering in it?
Isn't this asking for trouble?
Thinking of this, Meng Ying glared at him secretly, her eyes full of warning.
Behave yourself today and don’t do anything wrong. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!
Zhao Mingze: “…”
The originally swelled emotions were punctured, and they instantly deflated like a deflated ball. Whatever thoughts I had in my heart, they no longer existed in the sight of this gaze.
If I keep going like this, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out of the room today. No, not just today, I might not be able to enter the room for the next week.
"I know." He said dejectedly.
