Xia Chuyi clutched her forehead and looked up into the distance wordlessly, thinking to herself, "So, yesterday after drinking, did she tell Uncle Liberation Army that she was going to marry him right after she graduated?"
After a while, Xia Chuyi finally ca to terms with this "truth" and said, "I... "
Before she could finish, Xia Chuyi paused for a mont and hesitated for two seconds before continuing, "Qianqian, did I say anything inappropriate last night?"
Her mory was completely blank; she really couldn’t recall what she had said or done.
So, she was a little scared that she might have said sothing she shouldn’t have.
After all, she was harboring many secrets.
"Inappropriate?" Qian Qianqian was sowhat puzzled, not understanding what she ant.
"You know, so weird and strange stuff." Xia Chuyi hinted vaguely.
"Weird and strange stuff?" Hearing this, Qian Qianqian thought for a mont, shook her head, and said, "I don’t think so... It all seed pretty normal to ."
"Even if you said ’marry Huo Commander after graduation,’ I think that’s normal too!" Qian Qianqian exclaid with an excited expression, very certain in her assertion. "It’s true what they say: in vino veritas!"
Xia Chuyi: ...
Could we not bring this up again?
Knowing she hadn’t spoken out of turn made Xia Chuyi breathe a sigh of relief, albeit reluctantly, and she nodded, thinking to herself: It looks like not only does Huo Shiqian not permit her to drink, but she also shouldn’t allow herself to get drunk again in the future.
Otherwise, she was afraid she might accidentally let sothing slip.
Hmm, even if she didn’t reveal any of those "secrets"... she felt confessing to soone while drunk was not a good thing...
Xia Chuyi made up her mind that she would definitely not drink so carelessly in the future!
Having made her decision, Xia Chuyi told Qian Qianqian, "Qianqian, there’s nothing else, you guys can go on and get busy. I’m going to Professor Bao’s."
"Okay," Qian Qianqian patted her chest and said, "You go ahead, I’ve got the shop covered!"
After tidying herself up a bit, Xia Chuyi went to Professor Bao’s.
Upon arriving at Professor Bao’s, Xia Chuyi talked about how Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia would be coming to the Capital City and she would not be returning to Ling County, informing both Professor Bao and Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu was sowhat surprised by the news but was even more so happy.
Holding her hand, Mrs. Gu said to Xia Chuyi, "Your relatives from your hotown in Ling County are coming? That’s great!"
"Chuyi, when your family arrives in the Capital City, you must let know," Mrs. Gu softly said. "Jiaye and I, as family mbers of Shiqian, should formally et them."
Hearing Mrs. Gu say this, Xia Chuyi nodded and replied, "When my uncle and aunt co to Beijing, I’ll find so ti for you, Professor Bao, my ntors, and my uncle and aunt to all go to ’Delicious Residence’ together for a gathering."
There was not a hint of surprise.
There was nothing she could do about it; after talking over the phone with Uncle Liberation Army, she was already prepared for this: her uncle and aunt’s visit would definitely include a eting with Huo Shiqian’s family.
Compared to the pressure of eting Huo Zhongcheng, Xia Chuyi felt that eting Professor Bao and Mrs. Gu with her uncle and aunt was no pressure at all.
Mrs. Gu smiled at Xia Chuyi’s arrangents and nodded, saying, "Chuyi, you’ve thought everything through nicely."
"We should indeed formally et."
After discussing everything she had to with Professor Bao and Mrs. Gu, Xia Chuyi left Professor Bao’s ho.
