Chapter 217: You’re Quite a Competent Boyfriend
At dismissal time, the Bei Ming Family’s car was parked at the school gate, attracting a lot of attention.
Bei Ming Hao Chen had his hands in his pants pockets, and Gu Siyu walked beside him, muttering, “Other boyfriends hold their girlfriends’ hands to prevent them from being bumped by the crowd, but you’re quite the responsible boyfriend.”
The little girl was sharp-tongued and complained incessantly. Bei Ming Hao Chen was utterly helpless. The next second, Gu Siyu was enveloped in a strong embrace. Bei Ming Hao Chen extended his right hand, pulling the little girl close, resting her on his shoulder. For a moment, their posture was incredibly intimate.
Gu Siyu’s face turned red. “Hmph, what are you doing?”
“How about this? Others hold hands, I embrace you. In a way, this is even more intimate.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen teased. This girl was simply too cute.
The two got into the car and returned to the Bei Ming Manor. Seeing them so inseparable, Zuo Ning was extremely excited.
As soon as Gu Siyu returned, Zuo Ning pulled her aside to talk, as if she had endless things to say.
At the dinner table, Zuo Ning seemed to recall something and said to Bei Ming Hao Chen, “Your cousin is back. He’ll probably be here in a couple of days. If you meet him, be polite, he’s your cousin after all.”
“Got it.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen replied perfunctorily. He wouldn’t be coming in a couple of days; he had clearly already arrived.
Gu Siyu didn’t know who they were talking about and wanted to ask but didn’t know where to start.
“The school is organizing an autumn outing next week. Do you know the location?”
Zuo Ning seemed to know more about Sacred Cherry Academy matters than Bei Ming Hao Chen.
Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Hao Chen frowned slightly and shook his head. He never paid attention to such things.
“I know, I know! It’s at the street park in the suburbs. I heard there’s a river not far from there, and the scenery is beautiful.”
Gu Siyu said excitedly. She had also heard about it from others near the end of school that afternoon.
An autumn outing! Hearing the classmates talk about it, it sounded so fun! There would be delicious food, fun activities, and all sorts of interesting things.
Gu Siyu was already looking forward to it.
Hearing this, Bei Ming Hao Chen glanced at her. When did this girl start caring about such things?
“Hao Chen, why don’t you put any effort into school? No matter what, your identity right now is still a student.”
Zuo Ning sighed. She knew her son had his own career, but so what? At eighteen or nineteen, he should be having fun at school; that’s what youth should be like.
However, Bei Ming Hao Chen seemed to possess a maturity and calmness beyond his peers from a young age. He never got excited or screamed over something pretty or fun. Of course, the bigger reason was probably that he lacked nothing.
“Alright, Mom, you always start lecturing me whenever you think of it.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen frowned, clearly displeased.
“Hao Chen, Auntie is doing this for your own good, why are you talking like that?”
“And! You’ll go to the autumn outing, right? I heard it’s very fun.”
Gu Siyu tugged at Bei Ming Hao Chen. Nowadays, her status in the Bei Ming Family was quite evident, and coupled with her good personality, she felt comfortable talking to them without reservation.
“Why are you calling me Auntie? You should call me Mom, just like Hao Chen.”
Zuo Ning frowned and reprimanded Gu Siyu with dissatisfaction.
Gu Siyu felt a little awkward. Although they were now boyfriend and girlfriend, calling her “Mom” felt a bit inappropriate, didn’t it?
“I’m not going. Don’t even think about it.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen, however, came to Gu Siyu’s rescue at this moment. Not going? Not going to the autumn outing?
