But plans can never keep up with changes.
Su Changqin's former boss seemed to be very close to her, regarding her as a junior, and directly suggested that Su Changqin bring Gu Yuan to visit.
Moreover, she seemed to be acquainted with Grandma Su, and even had Aunt Su bring her husband along.
Aunt Su showed some excitement upon receiving the news.
Clearly, this relationship was closer than she had imagined.
This also means that the chances of her succeeding in what she wants to do are extremely high.
So the four elders went out early to make preparations.
Before leaving, Aunt Su said to Su Jinglan, "Jinglan, take Xiyue and Qingqing out for something they like tonight, and be careful!"
Su Jinglan looked at the 5,000 yuan that had just been deposited into her phone; this was clearly the money for dinner tonight.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll definitely take good care of my cousin and younger cousin!"
The four elders left quickly, leaving only three peers in the house.
"Gu Qing, Xi Yue, what would you like to eat tonight? Don't be shy, my mom just approved the budget, so I'm really benefiting from your help!" Su Jinglan said to the two of them.
Su Xiyue naturally looked at Gu Qing.
It's not that she lacks her own opinions, but rather that she always wants to prioritize Gu Qing's views.
This is what she learned from Su Changqin's way of treating Gu Yuan.
It carries a hint of pampering.
"We're not picky eaters, let's go with whatever the host has to offer!" Gu Qing said.
Knowing that the two had just arrived in Jinling and were unfamiliar with the city, Su Jinglan, after browsing online, inquired:
"How about French food?"
"Since you're all studying in Nanjing, you'll have plenty of time to try the local specialties. How about we have some foreign food today?"
Gu Qing nodded in agreement.
It seems that since being reborn into this world, he hasn't eaten much foreign food.
Unlike his previous life, where he spent most of his time traveling abroad and even finding it difficult to eat a home-cooked meal, this time he was different.
After deciding on a specific destination, the three of them went out together and hailed a taxi.
The destination was an elegantly decorated Western-style restaurant.
The restaurant seemed to be doing very well; the three people who couldn't get a private room opted to dine in.
After Su Jinglan sat down, she handed the menu to Su Xiyue and Gu Qing.
Gu Qing glanced at them and randomly picked a few.
He was so-so about French food.
Although French cuisine is hailed as a jewel of Western culinary culture, Gu Qing found it difficult to get used to.
He's okay with foie gras, but he doesn't really like things like baked snails, and he especially hates baked cheese.
Su Jinglan also ordered a bottle of white wine.
Gu Qing did not stop it.
Firstly, because he was a guest, he followed the host's lead.
Secondly, Su Xiyue is already an adult and has her own opinions and ideas.
Thirdly, the alcohol content of wine is just so-so.
However, he did not have a drink with the two Su sisters.
Having had one experience with alcohol, he knew that his current body couldn't handle much alcohol.
He might receive some specialized training in this area in the future, but definitely not now.
Without their elders around, the three peers were much more relaxed in their interactions.
And with a few drinks on their hands, the conversation naturally flowed out.
"Xiyue, when are you planning to find a boyfriend? University is much more open-minded than high school!" Su Jinglan said.
In high school, with teachers and parents supervising me, I could only focus on studying.
After the college entrance examination, many restrictions were completely lifted.
When college students are in a relationship, it can no longer be described as puppy love; it's a perfectly normal thing.
Su Xiyue glanced at Gu Qing and then said, "I actually have a boy I like, and I'm still pursuing him. He's also studying at a university in Jinling, but not at the same school as me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing understood.
He knew, of course, that Su Xiyue was referring to him.
The girl once said that she wanted to pursue him, and his reply at the time was, "Go ahead and pursue me, but I won't care if you get hurt."
Gu Qing's idea was actually very simple.
Su Xiyue lived with him every day, and he did indeed possess some charm that made girls like him.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Su Xiyue had this idea.
However, Gu Qing was also well aware that Su Xiyue's idea was influenced by the suspension bridge effect to some extent.
When Su Xiyue went to university, she saw a wider world and met more outstanding men.
Presumably, Su Xiyue will have changed her mind about the present by then.
When that time comes, Su Xiyue will also discover that Gu Qing is not perfect, and there are many people in this world who are just as outstanding as Gu Qing.
"Then you'll have to work harder; it'll be difficult if you go to different schools!"
Su Jinglan had no idea that the person her cousin was talking about was Gu Qing.
It's not that I'm questioning Gu Qing's charm.
On the contrary, in Su Jinglan's eyes, Gu Qing's charm was simply too great.
Needless to say, her looks are only about 8 out of 10 of Gu Qing's, even though she was considered a campus beauty in college.
In terms of temperament, Gu Qing is far superior.
A woman as unattainable as Gu Qing always evokes a strong desire to conquer her.
But it was precisely because Su Jinglan had a certain understanding of Gu Qing that she did not suspect that Su Xiyue was Gu Qing's target.
The reason is actually quite simple: "If even I, your older cousin, can't handle a guy, how could you, a clueless college freshman, possibly manage to?"
It must be said that Su Jinglan is somewhat arrogant.
Gu Qing realized this, which is why she didn't really like having too much contact with Su Jinglan.
Although Su Jinglan is much more composed now, her inherent personality is hard to change.
Perhaps only by experiencing some hardship can one truly grow.
"I will do my best! I will never give up!" Su Xiyue replied.
These words were meant to encourage himself, and also to be heard by Gu Qing beside him.
"And Gu Qing, what about you? You're so pretty, you'll definitely have a lot of suitors in college. Have you considered dating, or are you like Xi Yue, already having someone you like?"
Su Jinglan shifted the topic to Gu Qing.
Su Xiyue immediately perked up her ears as well.
There are some questions she's too embarrassed to ask, but she cares about them quite a bit.
Let things take their course!
Gu Qing simply gave five words as the answer.
Even on his second life, love remains a new subject for him.
Especially in this world where male-female relationships are reversed, his views on love became even more complicated.
101.Livehouse
Some people believe that love is a passionate and intense collision.
Two people of the opposite sex sparked a connection, igniting a fierce passion.
Some people believe that love is about the mundane realities of daily life.
They are drawn to each other in their ordinariness, and as long as they are together, it doesn't matter what.
Gu Qing might prefer the latter.
Having worked as a war correspondent, he witnessed far too many heart-wrenching separations and deaths in those chaotic places.
Whether it's the human body or emotions.
All of this pales in comparison to the ruthless weapons and destruction.
