Chapter 137: Looking-woman Stone

Chapter 137

Time flies by, and Ji Ruochu's high school studies passed day after day amidst the sea of exam questions and the learning of new knowledge.

When she finally lifted her head from the high piles of books, she suddenly realized that the new year was only three days away.

After this year, she would be fourteen years old.

Fourteen years old, in the third year of high school.

Hmm, she was very satisfied with her current progress.

After ticking off the last "√" in today's task list, Ji Ruochu was about to get up and stretch.

As soon as she pushed back her chair, two heads appeared in the unlocked door.

"My daughter, are you done with your studies?"

"Are you tired? Dad stewed old hen soup for you today!"

"Mom also made your favorite chicken feet in pickled pepper that we can gnaw on..."

Ji Ruochu, who just wanted to stretch...nodded obligingly.

Why?

Of course it was because the couple was like guarding a family heirloom, peeking at the study door at every turn, and the two even figured out a pattern themselves.

If the study door was closed, it meant their daughter was busy with her own things. If the study door was open, it meant their daughter had completed her homework for the day, and might be reading magazines, leisure books, on her phone, etc.

And this meant--they could go play with their daughter!

But now their daughter doesn't even close the door. The couple wanders around the door every day like headless flies.

Most importantly, every time they saw their daughter sitting upright and studying, they would unconsciously reveal a perverted smile.

While their mood was indeed great, doing this made it seem like they were monitoring their child all the time, right?

This won't do!

They were not controlling parents!

However, what the couple didn't know was that the reason Ji Ruochu left the study door open was precisely because she couldn't stand the pitiful sight of the two staring longingly at the door panel every day.

She had only ever heard of gazing stones for missing one's wife or husband. As it turned out, this couple was different--ever since she entered high school, instead of taking care of their own business every day, they lingered at home as "gazing stones" for their daughter!
