Chapter 218: Chapter 136: Chance Encounter / Embarrassment
Watching Zhu Jiangyu’s mouth form an O, Luo Ye really wanted to help him close it. Considering the action might be a bit too intimate, he refrained and turned back to Sang Qingqing’s ward.
Having come to his senses, a sullen Zhu Jiangyu returned to the ward. Zhu Guohong looked at his son, whose countenance was heavy and asked, "What’s wrong, why the long face? And where’s the late-night snack you were going to buy?"
"I’m not hungry, so I didn’t buy anything." Zhu Jiangyu forced a smile: "Dad, I’m not upset."
"Not upset? Your face is telling a whole different story," Zhu Guohong chuckled. "What’s on your mind? Come on, spit it out. Only women sulk in silence, men should speak their minds."
"Dad, if mom heard that, she would scold you again." Zhu Jiangyu thought for a bit; discussing this matter with others wasn’t really appropriate, but his dad was experienced and might actually have some good advice. He decided to tell his dad all about his past with Luo Ye, ending with a light sigh: "Dad, I really can’t figure it out, is she overly confident, or just reckless?"
"Aren’t you basically saying the same thing?" Zhu Guohong patted his son’s head. "My son, everything’s always gone smoothly for you. Luo Ye’s case is a wake-up call for you to realize that people aren’t just their appearances.
Mayor Luo’s daughter is certainly no ordinary person. Just the fact that she single-handedly saved Wenxin Garden proves that. Whether her past behavior was intentional or not, let’s not dwell on that. What matters is that her current actions are certainly impressive.
Plus, if you really want to pursue her, it won’t be easy. Rumor has it she’s the prospective granddaughter-in-law of the Ye Family, that is, the intended fiancée of the Ye Xuan who saved dad this time. You might not like hearing that you’re not as good as Ye Xuan, thinking that you wouldn’t necessarily be worse than him were you his age, but at the very least you are not his equal right now, right?"
Zhu Jiangyu stared at his own father, dumbfounded. After a long while, he collected himself: "Dad, you actually know about Luo Ye, and that Ye Xuan? Is it all true?"
"Yes, it’s all true. You’ve always made mom and dad proud, with your good grades and decisiveness. I’ve always let you do your own thing, hoping you can live happily.
As for dating at a young age, your mom and I share the same view: as long as it doesn’t affect your studies, we don’t interfere much. That’s why we never asked about your romantic life.
Who knew my son had such good taste, picking the... oh no... the Secretary’s daughter. Son, this is going to be a tough battle, and I’m not too optimistic about your chances!"
Zhu Jiangyu smiled wryly: "Dad, even at a time like this you’re joking. Do you think it’s serious that Luo Ye wants to apply for military school?"
Zhu Guohong shook his head: "I can’t be certain, but I don’t think that girl is a daydreamer."
"Do I have to give up QH and apply for GF?"
"Don’t rush to conclusions; there’s still plenty of time. Also, you need to figure out if you truly like Luo Ye or it’s just a little crush sparked by seeing her become prettier.
Only when you understand your own feelings can you decide what to do next. To be honest, the fact you’re conflicted today shows that your feelings for her aren’t very deep.
Or to put it another way, your so-called ’like’ might just be a superficial phenomenon. I’m not trying to bring you down, but I want you to understand what it is you really want."
Zhu Jiangyu’s expression relaxed: "Dad, I understand what you mean. Do you need me to help turn you over?"
"Yeah, this feeling of being numb and weak is really damn uncomfortable. Once you’ve turned me over, go back. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang are with me, so don’t worry."
...
"The little lazy bug hasn’t woken up yet, hehe..." Luo Ye, still groggy from sleep, felt her head being touched and instinctively reached out and bit down, waking up immediately and sitting up quickly, "Uncle Jiang, you’re here?"
"I’m here, little lazy bug, but... which direction are you looking in?" )
Luo Ye rubbed her eyes and finally fully came to her senses, her face reddening as she realized she had been facing the wall while calling out for Uncle Jiang.
Quickly turning around, her vision suddenly went dark. Looking up, she saw Ye Xuan gazing at her with amused eyes. Thinking of her embarrassing behavior just now, her face turned even redder and she snapped angrily: "Why didn’t you knock before entering?"
