Chapter 1437: Falling in Love

"Mom, what are you thinking? Rest assured, the person I'm dating isn't her. Even if she were the only woman left in the world, I wouldn't date Lu Feifei."

"Then who is it? What's her name? Is she in the same department as you? What does her family do?"

Zichen:...

Only then did he realize he had been tricked.

When it came to being cunning and slick, if his mother was second, no one was first. Just by using a small trick, she had made him say everything truthfully.

Mom was even more excessive than Zihan, and her questions were even more detailed. He simply hung up the phone and turned it off for the time being.

Sheng Family.

Shi Youxuan showed her phone to her husband: "Look, your son has really made something of himself in college. He actually hung up on me and turned off his phone. What should we do?"

Sheng Hanyu: "What do you want to do? Should we go over there and catch him now?"

Their home was only a little over an hour's drive from Zichen's university, so it wasn't very far.

Shi Youxuan thought for a moment and shook her head: "Forget it. The child is a college student now. It wouldn't be good if we kept going to the school to see him. Would his classmates laugh at him for being a mama's boy?"

"It doesn't matter. There's another way. I can send someone to investigate the girl's family situation. It won't take more than a few hours for you to have all the details."

"That works."

Three seconds after thinking it worked, Shi Youxuan changed her mind: "Forget it. If Zichen finds out, he definitely won't be happy."

Investigating her son's girlfriend's background without his consent, under the guise of concern while actually still meddling in her son's life—Shi Youxuan felt it was inappropriate.

If they really did that, this matter would be exposed sooner or later.

If the matter were known by her son's girlfriend, what would that girl think?

What would her own son think?

Shi Youxuan chose to trust her son's judgment. No matter what kind of girlfriend he found, as long as he liked her himself, that was enough.

Zihan was finally able to get through to his older brother's phone. This time, he didn't ask everything like a curious Baobao, but instead gave several practical ideas.

Send flowers, go on dates to romantic restaurants, watch movies, find quiet places to walk together, go shopping and buy the girl small gifts...

There were plenty of methods.

Zihan couldn't understand why his older brother didn't know such simple ways.

That shouldn't be.

If one were to say the second brother didn't know, that would be understandable; the second brother had been rigid and dull since he was a child.

But the older brother wasn't like that.

The brothers and sisters of the Sheng Family were all very united and didn't have that habit of forming cliques, but Zihan liked his older brother the most because his temperament and personality were the most similar to his.

Although his older brother wasn't like him, surrounded by girls all day long, he shouldn't be unable to even date, right?

It wasn't a difficult task; this sort of thing should be self-taught.

Zihan couldn't understand it because he hadn't met his future sister-in-law yet.

Jiangzhou University.

Zichen had been standing in front of the flower shop for half an hour.

He still hadn't decided whether to buy flowers.

Sending flowers to any girl wouldn't feel out of place, it just felt strange to send them to Gu Yuxin.

Just imagining Gu Yuxin, with her short hair and heroic spirit, holding a bouquet of roses in her arms—the image was very comical and didn't have anything to do with romance.

"Student, I've seen you standing outside for a long time. You're too shy to send flowers to a girl yourself, right? It's okay, our shop has a delivery service; we can send them for you." The proprietress of the flower shop was very good at business. Seeing him standing outside for a long time, she took the initiative to come out and solicit business.

"Fine, wrap up a bouquet of roses for me."

The flower shop delivered them at a very opportune time—when the evening classes ended and there were the most people.

"Wow, roses! Are they for the Female Devil?"

"Gu Yuxin is dating? Who's the target?"

A roommate nudged Sheng Zichen: "Such a cheesy cliché, it wasn't you who sent them, was it?"

Zichen denied it: "Of course not. How could I be so cheesy? Maybe it's a prank." He tried his best to appear nonchalant, but he lacked confidence.

The two had agreed that they wouldn't announce the dating matter to the public for the time being; it was a secret.

Gu Yuxin heard this and turned back to glare at him fiercely.

She carried the roses home. Her family was just as curious. Her mother asked: "Yuxin, are you dating? With whom? Is it Sheng Zichen?"

"No, that glutton only knows how to eat and doesn't understand anything. I'd rather date a pig than date him."

For the past few days, her precious daughter had been gnashing her teeth whenever she mentioned Sheng Zichen, so her mother didn't doubt her daughter's answer and even felt relieved.

It was a good thing that her daughter had another suitor.

"Then who sent them?"

She brushed it off: "No one sent them. I bought them myself. I'll make rose cakes for you tomorrow."

Gu Yuxin carried the flowers back to her room. There was no vase in the room; there had never been such a thing in her room.

Finally, she filled a Hallucinogenic Pen wash with water and put the flowers inside.

It wasn't the first time she had received roses.

But bringing flowers home was definitely the first time!

She opened her phone, clicked on Sheng Zichen's avatar, and complained in the chat box: Why did you send flowers? It's too flashy. Just now my mom asked if you sent them. I didn't dare admit it; I said I bought them myself and will make rose cakes for her tomorrow.

"Pfft—"

Zichen covered his mouth tightly with his hand so he wouldn't laugh out loud.

Originally, he had felt that sending flowers was flashy and impractical, but now he felt it was just right.

So he sent a thumbs-up emoji of approval.

And added the text: Very good, this is their best final destination.

The other party quickly sent back a sad-faced emoji, with the text: But I haven't seen enough yet, I'm reluctant to let them go.

Zichen said I will continue to send them to you, every day.

Gu Yuxin criticized him: You should save your money, it is not easy for your parents to earn money, it cannot be used for squandering.

Zichen felt very pleased inside, but said it doesn't matter, I have had my New Year's money from childhood to now in my own hands, I can afford to send you a few bouquets of flowers.

Gu Yuxin gave him an idea, saying how about this, don't send fresh flowers, just go to a convenience store and buy dried flowers to send me, ten yuan for a big bag, you can look at them and also eat them, killing two birds with one stone!

Zichen laughed so joyfully; has he struck gold?

Are there still girls who know how to live like this nowadays?

Clearly from a well-off family background, yet she can consider others in everything, not comparing, not vain, and not snobbish.

But most importantly, she and he share the same interests; both like to eat.

Joy cannot be hidden; Zichen quietly sent the screenshot Gu Yuxin sent him to Zihan to show off.

Zihan showed it to their parents again.

Consequently, the couple judged that this girl's family background is average, at most she can be considered a girl from a modest family, and their social statuses are not a match.

……

Weekend.

The two of them snuck out separately, left the school gate, got on a bus, rode for over a dozen stops, and met at the shopping mall.

After meeting, the two were quite happy; they had finally shaken off countless pairs of eyes and could openly do what couples should do—watch a movie.

Zichen was going to buy tickets, but Gu Yuxin held up two movie tickets and said I have already bought them.
