On the first day of school, Su Rui barely made it through the Microeconomics test.
In the following week, Su Rui had exams almost every day.
In that state, Su Rui wasn't able to reminisce about the fond memories of her university life. Instead, she recalled the tension of her high school life.
When she finally finished the different opening test of several subjects and the make-up exams of several credit courses, it was already the weekend.
Abandoning her grieving roommate, Su Rui resolutely took a ride on Tang Xiao's sports car and returned home glamorously.
Initially, Mrs Su was worried that her daughter would be like before where she had a good time at the university and didn't want to return home.
Now, seeing that Su Rui returned home, Liu Yue had a happy smile on her face.
"Rui Rui, how have you been? Have you gotten used to life at the university?"
Though she knew that her daughter was now older and more sensible than before, thus she and Lao Su actually do not need to worry about many things. But, when Su Rui returned home, Liu Yue couldn't help but pull Su Rui and asked her worriedly .
"Not bad, everything is fine." Knowing that Mother Su was worried about her, Su Rui cheerfully replied.
Subsequently, Su Rui briefly mentioned about University, and some interesting things that happened that week to her mother.
As for the 'devil's exam week' formed by chance, though Su Rui was very anxious to find someone to complain to. Nevertheless, after some reconsiderations, she decided to wait for Lao Su to return home to have a chat.
If she tells Mother Su, Su Rui can seemingly foresee the consequences...
The other topic was about Gu Yu Cheng's matter.
Su Rui hesitated for a moment and decided to wait and find the right time to mention it.
But...
"Mum."
"What's the matter, Su Rui?"
"Don't arrange a blind date for me lately." She paused and then added, "And don't arrange anymore blind dates that are to meet new people or whatnot."
After all, the development of her and Gu Yu Cheng in this period was quite smooth. Su Rui was really afraid that her mother would find another reason to introduce her to another blind date.
Especially, like the last time she met Lin Yi Xiao, she was caught off guard when she met Lin Yi Xiao.
Although they were not of the same major, they are still in the same university. After entering university, Su Rui met Lin Yi Xiao twice on the campus.
He didn't know whether he attained Su Rui's mobile number through the student information or from his parents.
Lin Yi Xiao actually asked Su Rui out on the phone once.
Why wasn't there a second time?
Because for the first time, Su Rui bluntly refused Lin Yi Xiao's invitation, and also clearly expressed to the other party implying, 'I don't have any feelings for you, you and I will have nothing going on.'
Liu Yue didn't know what Su Rui was thinking. It was strange to hear her daughter say that.
"What's wrong? Did you dislike that Mum brought Uncle Lin's son here before?" Liu Yue's face changed slightly and looked at Su Rui nervously. She was afraid that her previous action of acting on her own accord caused her daughter's antipathy to the affair of blind dates.
Or
Is that Lin Yi Xiao not good enough, because her daughter doesn't like this person, and she immediately lost interest in the next blind date?
Liu Yue muttered in her heart.
She suddenly thought this was plausible.
After all, obviously speaking, although the son of Lao Lin's family was also excellent, compared with Gu Yu Cheng, he was far behind. It should be said that there was no comparability at all.
Regarding her guess, Mother Su sighed silently.
For a while, Liu Yue regretted a little. A blind date is just a blind date. After all, she didn't want her daughter to get married immediately. In the beginning, she should have found someone of the same standing, why did she find the Gu family.
Although this was what she thought in her heart, Mrs Su cant say that out.
"In fact, it doesn't matter. If you don't like it, then that's it. Let's choose what you like." Liu Yue comforted Su Rui. She said after a pause and continued, "Besides, Rui Rui, there are many good boys..."
"En En En" Su Rui nodded, interrupted her mother, grabbed Liu Yue's wrist and said playfully, "I know there are many fine boys, but your daughter is also outstanding."
"So let's not worry about it."
"Your mother isn't in a hurry. I just thought that you have just returned, getting to know a better one, and you could have a better judgement between contacting some good and bad ones in the future." Mother Su was still afraid that her daughter would be cheated by some other person.
As she thought about it, Mother Su's gaze paused. She suddenly looked at Su Rui, "Rui Rui, don't tell me you have gotten to know some boy in the university?"
This shows that your mother is still your mother.
Mother Su's insight was still so sharp.
Su Rui, who wanted to act cute and tried to avoid the problem, mourned for two seconds in her heart.
"No." Su Rui shook her head as she said.
There isn't a boy, but there is a man.
But he is not in her university either.
"There is someone I like." Su Rui thought about it and said half honestly.
"Is that so?" When Mother Su heard, Mother Su's eyes glistened, and then she felt somewhat uneasy.
"What's the other party like?" Liu Yue questioned.
"Currently, it seems that all aspects are good. He possesses a personal ability that is superb, and his conditions are very suitable. Also, he is quite practical and patient." Su Rui expressed the evaluation of Gu Yu Cheng in the past few days.
The compliment of 'being patient' was newly added.
After all, this week's 'exam week', she troubled him a lot.
"I'm telling you the truth, mum. You have to trust your daughter's discernment and observation." Looking back at Liu Yue, Su Rui saw that she was still worried and obviously didn't believe what Su Rui said. So Su Rui emphasised it earnestly.
"Yes. Yes. Yes. Your discernment is good." Liu Yue pretended to glare at Su Rui and said, "I'm just worried for you."
Su Rui knows what Liu Yue was worried about.
In her heart, she felt a little touched and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Not to mention the fact that she gained a new life, Su Rui was cautious about her marriage and even the romance in the beginning.
Even before, her personality could not become a "female classmate with a story" ah.
"Mum, in fact, I'm only in the stage of having a good feeling for that person," said Su Rui after blinking, "There's no sign of success yet. Don't worry."
"I'll continue to observe with care."
This was not only for Mother Su but also for herself.
Although, on the observations of these past few days, Gu Yu Cheng was a really suitable date.
But there was a saying: One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature.
Presently, they were getting to know each other.
At most, she could only see the external features of Gu Yu Cheng, and the more in-depth features were some personality characteristics.
Who knows if the other party has any messy romantic history in the past, or if there are any relationships she wasn't aware of yet.
Nowadays, many people are different from what they appear to be.
Su Rui dared not gamble her future happiness with uncertain luck.
So, well, she absolutely cannot readily agree to Gu Yu Cheng even if he was so fine or because of that little bit of affection she has for him!
Su Rui repeated it twice to herself.
Looking at her daughter's serious face, Liu Yue opened her voice and hesitated for a moment. She finally held herself back.
"Just know it for yourself in your heart."
"Let me tell you ah, Rui Rui. This girl...."
"Cough. Er, Mother!" She has already guessed the content that Mother Su was going to pass on in the following ten thousand words of experience and teaching. Su Rui wisely interrupted her this time.
"About what you are going to say, I will take a small notebook and write it down carefully." Su Rui said slowly. "But dear Madam Liu, can you let your daughter head up and change her clothes first?"
As soon as Su Rui returned, she was immediately pulled by her mother and was questioned about her university life. She didn't have time to change her clothes.
"So quick-witted. I know you don't like to hear what I'm talking about." Liu Yue feigned a glare at Su Rui and said, "Go ahead and change your clothes quickly."
"I have bought you another leisurewear, and it's on your bedside." Liu Yue added.
"Come down and get ready for dinner after changing."
When Mother Su got a call early in the morning, she knew her daughter was returning. She arranged for the kitchen staff to start purchasing and preparing all the dishes Su Rui usually liked.
