“Our Rui Rui is still young. Don’t worry! You can explore, get to know more people, and find a better one!”

“After two days, let’s get to know more excellent boys. I guarantee that they would be better than Gu Yu Cheng!”

Even though Liu Yue said this, what she thought in her heart was: to look for an outstanding person isn’t difficult, but to find someone who is more excellent than Gu Yu Cheng is like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, since it was to comfort her daughter, she has to keep up the appearance.

But, when Su Rui heard what Mother Su had said, the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

“Cough, Mum, forget it.”

Su Rui said as she saw that Liu Yue looked nervous and quickly explained, “What I actually meant was, don’t arrange any blind dates in this period.”

Su Rui’s words made Liu Yue relieved.

“Rui Rui ah, actually regarding this situation, it was mainly because I didn’t do proper research[1] beforehand.”

Of course, Yu Jing didn’t as well!

Liu Yue trash talked in her heart and continued, “This situation isn’t because of you. Don’t have any pressure in your heart, ok? Also, not everyone is like Gu Yu Cheng…”

Liu Yue took the initiative to take up the responsibility mainly because she was worried that Su Rui would be burdened by this situation in her heart.

It wasn’t easy for her daughter to agree on going on a blind date. She also seemed to be interested in it after that. Liu Yue was secretly happy about it. Who knew that in the end it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

It would be bad if Su Rui was psychologically affected, and wouldn’t attend blind dates because of this incident!

When Su Rui noticed Liu Yue’s expression, Su Rui immediately guessed what her mother was thinking and laughed.

“Mum, you misunderstood what I meant.”

As she said, Su Rui explained, “It’s not that I repel the idea of blind dates, but aren’t I starting school soon? There’s many things that need to be done at the beginning of a school term, and I have a lot of homework to catch up with. I would probably be quite busy. So, Blind dates or whatever, let’s just postpone it.”

Even so, she was slightly influenced by Gu Yu Cheng’s incident, and she doesn’t want to attend any blind dates for a while.

But Su Rui concerns were more that the next one or two weeks would be the beginning of a school term.

Su Rui had these considerations even when she was on a blind date with Gu Yu Cheng previously and after the blind date where she was getting to know Gu Yu Cheng.

She was a transfer student, and she transferred to year three of the university. It wouldn’t be like year one or year two where she would celebrate if she scored sixty marks. From what Su Rui understood, the third year of University B has a lot of practical lessons. It would be the same even until the fourth year, where the lessons will be increasing instead of decreasing.

After she graduated from the university, if she wasn’t going to study further, then she had to consider going to Lao Su’s company to help out.

Thus, Su Rui may not really have the time to date.

To go on a blind date at 20 years old may be quite early, but what if she was busy at that time and she doesn’t have any time to date anybody then?

So, Su Rui thought that she would try to solve her personal issues with this blind date. When this issue was solved, it would be good.

Even if they do not get married, to have a boyfriend would be good too.

At least she wouldn’t have to be treated to the single dog’s “fragrance” anymore in the university.[2]

And to be fair, a boyfriend like Gu Yu Cheng can really satisfy a woman’s vanity.

Unfortunately, who knew it was a misunderstanding…

When Liu Yue heard Su Rui’s words, she agreed that arranging for another blind date should be postponed. However, when she heard Su Rui mention studies, her eyebrows knitted again.

“Rui Rui ah, actually as a girl, you wouldn’t necessarily be managing the company. If you want to learn arts and painting, you should learn it. Let your father transfer courses for you, Mum will support you.” Liu Yue said concernedly .

As school was about to begin, Su Rui’s lessons had more classes during this period of time.

Other than her initial economic foundation, Li Na had also brought several professional books for Su Rui.

These days she saw Su Rui spending most of her time in her studies, where sometimes she can even read a book till eleven or twelve in the night, which made Liu Yue feel distressed for her.

“Mum, don’t worry. It’s just these few days only. It would be better after starting school. Besides, learning how to paint is my hobby, I can learn it anytime.” Su Rui comforted Mother Su with a smile.

“Hearing this, I hope that you will start school soon.” Liu Yue pretended to look displeased and glanced at Su Rui as she said.

“I’ve heard that I would have to stay in the school dorm for half a year. Are you sure you wouldn’t miss me?” Su Rui blinked at Liu Yue and said.

“Out of sight, out of mind.”

……

The discussion at the Su family has ended peacefully.

While on the other hand at the Gu house, it wasn’t so harmonious.

At night when Gu Yu Cheng carried the vacuum flask home. As she thought about how this guy didn’t take the initiative to send Su Rui home and let the driver send her home, Mrs Gu wasn’t happy.

She finally managed to create an opportunity for her son. And then, this guy didn’t learn how to treasure this opportunity?

“As soon as you come back, you just give a sour face.” Yu Jing put down her chopstick and looked at Gu Yu Cheng with a disdain. She asked, “Let me ask you, why didn’t you let Rui Rui stay for a little longer? Did you scare her with your sour face?”

As Gu Yu Cheng heard what Yu Jing asked, he paused.

He thought about the conversations he had with Su Rui.

To explain to Madam Yu?

Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes darken, his expression can’t be read.

“No.” Gu Yu Cheng said this word and went upstairs.

As for the so-called explanation, there was no mention of it.

[1] In the raws, it actually refers to 我没有提前做好功课, where it actually means that I didn’t do my homework beforehand. However, since it doesn’t really fit the context here, I have changed to I didn’t do proper research beforehand.

[2] In this context, fragrance refers to the dog food (how couples are showing their affections/love for each other) by other couples in the university.

Translator’s notes: Hello there. Unfortunately, I’m having exams for the next two weeks. ಥ_ಥ The update schedule for the next two weeks would be kind of random where I will be posting Chapter 15,16,17 and 18 (Part 1 and 2, where Chapter 18 has eight parts) probably after it has been edited. Chapter 18 should be the chapter readers are looking forward to *cough*

And, thank you, dear readers, for the Kofi. <3 I appreciate it a lot. I will try to post extra chapters after my exams.

Happy reading everyone!
