That night, the two of them stayed at Lu Zhou's house.
Lu Zhou slept in his own room, while Chen Yushan stayed in Xiao Tong's room for the time being. Over the years, even though the siblings had been wandering outside all year round, Fang Mei had been tidying up their rooms.
According to her, if their children came back one day, they had to have a place to live.
The next morning.
After eating breakfast, Lu Zhou took Chen Yushan around his hometown and looked at the places he lived.
Even though she had been to Jiangling before, she only stayed for a few days. She didn't carefully look at the quiet ancient city located by the river.
From the kindergarten that she attended to all the way to high school, Lu Zhou basically took her to see all the places that he had memories of.
Speaking of which, there was a small incident.
When Lu Zhou returned to high school, he saw a statue of himself in a small square not far from the gate. This statue seemed to be the one that was built for him when he first returned to China to lead the controllable fusion project and donated money to renovate the school.
Lu Zhou remembered very clearly that he firmly rejected this matter at the time.
However, he didn't know if it was because there was still money left, or if the local leaders wanted to please him, but after several twists and turns, the statue was finally built.
Lu Zhou looked at Chen Yushan and felt a little awkward looking at his statue. He turned around and wanted to leave, but he was recognized by the security guard at the gate.
It didn't matter if the security guard recognized him.
Not only was the entire school alarmed, but even the director of the education bureau and the municipal party committee were alarmed. They skipped their meeting and rushed over.
He was a little dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. He originally just wanted to take his fiancée to see the place where he studied in high school, but he didn't expect to disturb his juniors' exam preparation.
In the end, Lu Zhou couldn't resist the enthusiasm of his fellow villagers, so he went to the flag platform and gave an impromptu speech for half an hour. Finally, he left the school with his senior sister.
Just like that, they spent the most leisurely three days of the year in Jiangling. After reminiscing about their youth, Lu Zhou took Chen Yushan north to Shang Jing.
He had already met his parents.
This time, it was time to meet her parents.
It was an old residential area on the edge of the Second Ring Road. Most of the people living here were cadres and their family members who worked in ministries and departments.
The old man standing at the entrance of the neighborhood was wearing a military coat. He probably recognized Lu Zhou's face, so he didn't ask him to register and let him pass.
Usually, in this neighborhood, even if there was someone they knew, they would have to leave their name in the guard room. But rules are dead, and people are alive. How many people in the entire Republic of China didn't know who Academician Lu was?
Whether it was out of respect or something else, the security guard was too embarrassed to ask him for an autograph.
The two quietly entered the neighborhood, went all the way to Chen Yushan's door, and pressed the doorbell.
There was a burst of footsteps behind the door, and soon the door was opened.
When Chen Baohua saw Lu Zhou standing at the door, he paused for a second before he spoke with a warm smile on his face.
"Yushan, why did you suddenly come home? You didn't tell me in advance, and you brought Academician Lu home … Please come in. "
While inviting the two into the living room, Chen Baohua kept winking at Lu Zhou, pretending to be meeting him for the first time.
Even though Lu Zhou felt like he was overexerting himself, seeing how happy he was, Lu Zhou decided to play dumb with him.
Just like in his own home, Lu Zhou was warmly treated by Chen Yushan's family, and he stayed in the guest room at night.
After putting the clothes into the washing machine, Lu Zhou returned to the guest room with a yawn. He found that Chen Yushan, who was supposed to be asleep, was sitting on his bed in her pajamas, looking at him suspiciously.
Before Lu Zhou could ask what was going on, she spoke first and took the initiative.
"Are you and my dad hiding something from me?"
"You can tell?"
"I can tell at a glance … Wow, you're hiding something from me!"
Lu Zhou looked at Chen Yushan who was pouting like a little girl. He made a helpless expression and said, "It's not a big deal, if you're interested, I'll tell you."
"Hurry up and tell me the truth! Otherwise, I'm going to torture you. "
Lu Zhou was about to explain the whole story, but when he heard her snort, he almost changed his mind at the last minute.
He was just curious about what kind of torture was needed to force Chen Yushan to open her mouth.
After a mental struggle, Lu Zhou didn't choose to be naughty.
He replied, "When we were just engaged, your dad … My father-in-law, secretly came to Jinling."
"He came to Jinling?" Chen Yushan had a surprised expression on her face. She said in disbelief, "But … Why haven't I heard him say that?"
Lu Zhou: "I told you I secretly came. If I told you, would it still be considered secretly?"
Chen Yushan frowned and was puzzled.
"But … Why did he hide it from me?"
Lu Zhou said casually, "He was probably afraid that you would overthink it, but he was worried that his daughter would be deceived by a pretty boy, so he came here alone to confront me."
Thinking about it carefully, this did seem like something Lu Zhou would do.
Thinking until here, Chen Yushan couldn't help but reveal a worried expression as she looked at him and whispered.
She looked at him and whispered, "He didn't say anything bad to you, right?"
Lu Zhou: "Not really, he was just a little angry that we didn't tell him about this. But soon, the misunderstanding was cleared up. Then he told me to treat you well and not let you down. Next time I come to Beijing with you, I have to pretend that it's the first time we meet. "
"Pfft … The first time … He's seen you several times before."
Lu Zhou shrugged his shoulders.
"Which is why I think he used too much force."
"Ah, now that I think about it, my dad is quite cute."
Maybe it was because it was late at night.
Or maybe it was because they had a telepathic connection.
The moment the topic ended, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became quiet. Everything was so natural.
Lu Zhou looked at Chen Yushan's attractive face and thought for a long time.
He then suddenly said, "I suddenly regret it."
Chen Yushan's body tensed up from the sudden words and she asked in a low voice.
"Regret what?"
"You can ask me the same question again."
"Which question?"
"The most recent one."
Chen Yushan frowned and thought for a while. She then spoke in an uncertain tone.
"… He didn't say anything bad to you, right … Is it this?"
"He did." Lu Zhou nodded solemnly and said, "How are you going to compensate me?"
Chen Yushan paused for a second. Her cheeks turned red, and she felt both sweet and shy. She angrily reached out and punched him on the shoulder.
"Do you want to die?"
"This is my house … Can't you be a little more restrained?"
Even though I can be a little quieter …
But it's still too weird!
Lu Zhou: "…?"
Seeing how Lu Zhou suddenly stopped talking, Chen Yushan, who was already mentally prepared, couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She whispered, "What's wrong? Don't tell me you're so petty … You're angry over such a small thing. "
Lu Zhou shook his head and continued.
"No, not angry, just a little surprised. I just wanted you to buy me a cup of milk tea tomorrow, I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction … It's fine if you don't want to buy me. "
"…"
Chen Yushan didn't know why, but when she saw his calm expression, she suddenly wanted to hit someone.
