"Right!"

Xiaoyanzi nodded.

"Alright then, it’s bound to happen sooner or later. Getting to know them early is good."

The honest guy didn’t hesitate for long. In fact, he had been waiting for this moment for quite some time.

Xiaoyanzi felt very relieved.

Over the years, Lu Haoran had made significant progress. He actively honed himself in school and participated in various campus activities, so he was no longer that socially awkward kid.

The boyfriend’s change was thanks to Su Zelin, who had been an enthusiastic supporter of him going to college in the first place.

If being too honest and lacking decisiveness was Lu Haoran’s greatest flaw, then this has been somewhat remedied. Hence, Xiaoyanzi became increasingly satisfied with him.

Su Zelin, this guy, he really knows how to teach others, but unfortunately, he doesn’t apply it to himself.

Xiaoyanzi thought to herself.

"By the way, don’t forget to buy some fruit, and preferably some tea, my dad likes to drink tea. It’s your first time visiting my home, so make sure to leave a good impression. It won’t be so formal in the future!"

Tang Yan reminded him solemnly.

"Yes, I know."

The honest guy now understood such social niceties. Even if Xiaoyanzi hadn’t explained, he knew what to do.

"Xiaoyanzi, Lu Haoran, what are you two whispering about over there?"

While Tang Yan and the honest guy were discussing meeting the parents, the other girls turned the topic to them.

"Nothing much, just casually chatting."

Xiaoyanzi smiled.

"It’s just a little thing, don’t mind us, hehe."

The honest guy echoed his girlfriend.

However, Su Zelin didn’t think so. Just now, when the girls were talking about meeting parents after graduation, this couple started whispering privately. It’s unlikely they weren’t planning something, especially since they’re not in a long-distance relationship, and it’s the end of the junior year, so they could meet the parents.

But Lu Haoran lying with a straight face was something the rogue didn’t expect.

Haoran, you’ve learned some bad tricks, lying without even batting an eye!

"You two are really doing well, not so many worries!"

Back then, when Xiaoyanzi and Lu Haoran got together, the girls weren’t too optimistic, thinking Xiaoyanzi could find someone better. But now, they realized that these two were most likely to last.

Xiaoyanzi’s personality, if paired with a guy who’s a little less mild-mannered, they could argue till they’re red in the face. Unless the guy is as strong as Su Zelin, who can handle her.

But if he had the attributes of Su Zelin, he might not even be interested in Xiaoyanzi.

Isn’t Qin Shiqing attractive?

Um, Qin Shiqing doesn’t seem to be attractive in Su Zelin’s eyes.

Almost in their senior year, there’s no sign between them at all.

When asked, Xiaoyanzi said they’re just good friends, which is quite bizarre.

More crucially, while Qin Shiqing is interested, the rogue remains unmoved.

The girls can’t help but wonder if the sun’s rising from the west.

The saying goes, "When a man pursues a woman, it’s like mountain climbing; when a woman pursues a man, it’s like peeling off a layer of silk." Yet, this saying doesn’t apply to these two.

With a goddess like a childhood sweetheart right next to you, and she’s taking the initiative, is Su Zelin blind?

If Lu Haoran and Xiaoyanzi hadn’t already gotten together, they would suspect this guy might be into the opposite of what they thought.

"Su Zelin, I heard you don’t have a girlfriend yet, and Shiqing doesn’t have a boyfriend. Why don’t you two just pair up?"

The little loudspeaker knew her sister’s thoughts and wanted to give Qin Shiqing a boost.

Everyone’s gaze simultaneously fell on the two of them.

Qin Shiqing felt a bit shy.

Su Zelin chuckled, "Too familiar, it’s awkward to make a move. Besides, I’m not worthy."

Everyone couldn’t help but sweat profusely.

They always thought "too familiar, awkward to make a move" was a polite way to decline someone whose looks aren’t enough, but didn’t expect this to exist in reality.

In high school, if you said you’re not a match for Shiqing, we would certainly agree.

But now, you might be the most successful in the class, even your term grades aren’t worse than Qin Shiqing’s. It’s said you have multiple perfect scores when your report card gets sent home, even Shiqing has to bow her head.

It’s unclear how Su Zelin suddenly got enlightened upon entering college, as if he unblocked the Ren and Du Meridians.

Moreover, you two are a handsome pair, well-matched, neighbors, and even co-running a digital shop. In every way, you seem like a perfect match.

"Come on, Yingying, don’t go randomly matchmaking!"

Qin Shiqing was still a bit proud, her cheeks puffed up like a little pufferfish, pouting.

The girls looked at Su Zelin and then at Qin Shiqing, said nothing more, but felt a bit regretful.

Upgrading from childhood friends to a couple is supposed to be the most ideal love in the world, but heavens don’t favor them.

The gathering at the leisure bar concluded, and then they went to pick up Qin Shiqing’s grandma.

On the way back to the countryside, the girl sitting in the passenger seat remained silent, simply gazing out at the scenery, seemingly in a not-so-good mood.

Seeing the elderly lady brightened her mood, and her pretty face regained its smile.

"Grandma!"

Getting out of the car, Qin Shiqing ran towards the old house, supporting the grandma waiting at the door.

"Niuniu, you’re here."

Besides her unsteady legs, requiring a cane, the grandma was still in good spirits. Seeing the two young ones, the wrinkles on her face seemed to smooth out a bit.

Su Zelin opened the Santana’s trunk. Every visit to the Liu family, they prepared gifts. For the grandma, they bought Naobecao. Even though it’s an intelligence tax, it’s the thought that counts. You might think those buying Naobecao are idiots, but they just want to make the elderly happy.

As for Qin Shiqing’s uncle and other familiar villagers, it’s fruits, drinks, and cigarettes. For the kids, it’s candies, cookies, chips, and other snacks, almost all familiar families get some.
