Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Gu Wenqing followed Wang Xiaohua into the villa, and finally met Wang Xiaohua's eldest brother and sister-in-law, as well as his mother.

"Mom, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, let me introduce her. This is my university counselor, Teacher Gu Wenqing! Teacher Gu, this is my mom, this is my Big Brother, this is my Sister-in-law, this is Big Brother and Sister-in-law's child, named Wang Dujin!"

Upon seeing Gu Wenqing, Li Xiulan immediately smiled until her old face bloomed like flowers:

"Teacher Gu, hello. Didn't expect you to be so young and already be a university teacher. You're only a few years older than our Xiaohua, right?"

Gu Wenqing replied with a polite smile:

"Auntie, hello. I'm only three years older than Student Xiaohua."

Wang Dashan then said:

"Teacher Gu is so young, so beautiful, and already a university professor. That's just too outstanding!"

This one sentence reflected Wang Dashan's lack of knowledge. A counselor is not a professor; it's far from it. Not to mention she's only a part-time counselor.

Gu Wenqing hurriedly smiled and explained:

"No, no. I'm actually just a graduate student. I'm not even qualified to be a professor at Tsinghua. Only the absolute top handful of talents in the whole world are qualified to be professors at Tsinghua!"

Du Xiaojuan came over holding the child and said:

"Teacher Gu is being modest. A Tsinghua graduate student is already a dragon and phoenix among people!"

Gu Wenqing just smiled and said:

"Sister-in-law, you are the true dragon and phoenix among people. Xiaohua told me you started from nothing and are now a female CEO worth over a hundred million. You are the exemplar of women's rise!"

Praised like this by Gu Wenqing, Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but laugh and said:

"But I still really envy you, being able to read so many books and become such a cultured, knowledgeable woman. To tell the honest truth, my lifetime's regret is that I never got to go to university!"

Gu Wenqing then said:

"University is just a diploma. If Sister-in-law wants to learn, then no matter where, one can learn."

The two hit it off at first sight and were soon chatting away together.

Gu Wenqing even took the initiative to hold Wang Dujin, and Wang Dujin wasn't shy of strangers either, giggling away in Gu Wenqing's arms.

Wang Dashan gave Wang Xiaohua a meaningful look:

"Third Brother, come on, let's go upstairs. I'll fix up a room for you and Teacher Gu to stay the night!"

Wang Xiaohua followed Wang Dashan up to the second floor.

Wang Dashan put his arm around Wang Xiaohua's neck, lowered his head, and said to him with a smile:

"Third Brother, this time you must not miss your chance. I fully support you and Teacher Gu being together!"

Wang Xiaohua smiled wryly:

"Big Brother, Teacher Gu and I really just have a simple teacher-student relationship. Later, fix up two rooms. Let Teacher Gu stay in one alone, and I'll stay in one alone."

Wang Dashan didn't answer this question, but continued: "If you miss Teacher Gu, then I'll have to desperately matchmake you and Niu Lin Xin. After all, Dad urged on his deathbed that you be with Niu Lin Xin."

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said: "You mustn't mess around. I really don't have a shred of feeling for Niu Lin Xin!"

Wang Dashan then said: "Then you hurry up and show some sincerity, and develop something with Teacher Gu! Teacher Gu is this beautiful, and her education is this high. She absolutely matches you!"

Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"She's more than a match for me. It's just that I'm not a match for her."

This was Wang Xiaohua's honest truth.

He has no looks to speak of, no height to speak of.

The only thing he prided himself on — high education, high IQ — in front of Gu Wenqing, couldn't become a bragging point either.

After all, Gu Wenqing's own education is already high enough.

So he never thought, and didn't dare to hope, that Gu Wenqing would have something beyond friendship for him.

Wang Dashan encouraged Wang Xiaohua:

"Don't look down on yourself. Anyway, just go for it. Be brave. Maybe you really can catch her. Look, today she even came to Guangzhou with you. Her meaning is already very obvious!"

Wang Xiaohua, however, said:

"Don't overthink it. She just came along for literary creation, to collect some material."

"Literary creation?" Wang Dashan was stunned, puzzled.

Wang Xiaohua then explained:

"Teacher Gu said she wants to use me as a prototype to create a literary work. She needs an all-round understanding of me, my growth environment, and my family background. So she came along for a trip. Tomorrow morning I still have to take her back to our hometown, Shangou Village, to have a look around."

Wang Dashan suddenly realized, then said:

"Then it seems she really does have different feelings for you. Otherwise, why would she choose you as the story's protagonist? There are so many outstanding students at Tsinghua University. Why didn't she go pick someone else to create a story?"

Wang Dashan's words, you really can't say, they actually seem to have several points of reason.

Wang Xiaohua, however, didn't believe it. He laughed dryly:

"That's because my identity is rather special. Currently in Tsinghua University, there aren't many students left who come from rural areas. Additionally, the matter between me and Jianjia, after she knew about it, she found it inconceivable and also very moving."

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"Don't worry about what reason she's acting on. Anyway, you now have the chance for close contact. You just perform well. No matter what, you must fight for it. This duck that's reached your mouth — if you don't fight for it, that would be a pity!"

Wang Dashan is just like this. One-track mind. He thinks Wang Xiaohua and Gu Wenqing have a chance, then no matter how Wang Xiaohua explains, he feels there's a chance!

And the more he spoke, the more he felt that Gu Wenqing had feelings for Wang Xiaohua that surpassed friendship.

Just that layer of window paper hasn't been pierced yet.

Just waiting for Wang Xiaohua to bravely take that step.

But Wang Xiaohua's thoughts were completely the opposite; ever since Li Jianjia passed away, he had sealed off his emotions in his subconscious, unwilling in his inner heart to take that step, and no longer believing that there would be another woman in this world who would love him as purely as Li Jianjia loved him.

So he never felt that Gu Wenqing had special feelings for him, always thinking that whether it was helping him get into the Tsinghua University newspaper, or now wanting to create a literary work based on him as a prototype, it was all out of her own considerations, purely a job.

"Big Brother, don't say these things anymore, it's a matter with no signs at all, let's take it one step at a time, if there really are signs of progress later, I'll tell you all then."

Wang Xiaohua didn't want to continue this topic, so he said this one sentence.

He was really afraid that the words he and his big brother were saying now would be heard by Gu Wenqing downstairs.

Wang Xiaohua and Wang Dashan cleaned up two rooms on the second floor, one for Gu Wenqing to live in, one for Wang Xiaohua to live in.

When the two went downstairs, Kang Yi had already finished making dinner.

Then everyone ate a dinner lively and bustling.

This meal was eaten harmonious and joyful, lively and bustling, just like a family.
