Chapter 136: Dad, bring me my phone watch

Chapter 136

Nian Suian followed the direction Xu Jiasong was pointing and saw two girls holding their phones, saying something to them.

Nian Suian thought: "It might not necessarily be about WeChat, right? Could be something else."

"I think they're definitely asking for WeChat. I noticed them coming over earlier. Come on, let's go join the fun."

After observing for a while, she felt certain from the girls' expressions and gestures that they had come to ask for WeChat contacts, though it wasn't clear who they were approaching.

As they were sitting not far away, the two of them had just walked over when they heard one of the girls say: "Hi, do you have a girlfriend? If not, can I have your WeChat?"

And the person the girl was addressing was none other than—

Gu Zhijing!

Everyone instantly perked up at the drama unfolding, with Liu Jian even letting out a whistle.

As Nian Suian got closer, she saw that the two girls looked quite young, probably new campers who had just arrived, with their campsite not far from where the barbecue grills were set up.

"Little sisters, are you here for camping?" Xu Jiasong asked the girls.

"Yes, big sister. We're students from the University of Science and Technology, here with our club."

Gu Zhijing, caught off guard by the situation, looked helplessly towards Gu Junxing.

"Dad..."

"Dad!" The girl's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked from Gu Zhijing to Gu Junxing, seemingly unable to process how they could be father and son.

Gu Junxing suppressed a laugh and said to his son: "You handle this yourself."

Gu Zhijing thought for a moment, then said to Gu Junxing: "Dad, can you give me your phone watch? These two sisters want to add me on WeChat."

By this point, Nian Suian was crouched on the ground laughing, her face buried in her arms, shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, little brother, I'm really sorry!"

The girl finally realized her mistake, that she had asked for the WeChat of a minor. Red-faced with embarrassment, she grabbed her friend and ran off.

"Not bad, Zhijing. Your charm surpasses your dad's back in the day!" Liu Jian patted Gu Zhijing's shoulder, teasing him.

Gu Zhijing laughed. How did his dad get so worked up while talking about this...

"Dad, stop worrying so much! I'm only in my first year of high school. You don't need to worry about these things yet. Worrying too much will make you age faster, and then you'll be even less suited for my little stepmom-sister."

Gu Junxing picked up a lamb skewer and stuffed it into his cheeky son's mouth: "Just eat your food!"

"Honey, I just found out that Yuanyuan is actually in the same class as Zhijing! Isn't that a coincidence?" Xu Jiasong told Qin Wei about what she had just learned.

"Oh! That really is quite a coincidence." He then said to Gu Junxing, who had just returned: "Our two families seem to have a connection."

"What?"

"Jiasong's niece is in the same class as Zhijing. You should remember, right? The pretty young girl I mentioned during the sports meet."

Gu Junxing nodded, recalling the memory. "That is indeed quite a coincidence."

After finishing grilling the meat, everyone sat down together to quietly appreciate the view of the distant mountains.

The orange-red sunset cast its light on everyone's faces, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

It wasn't until the sun had completely sunk into the valley that everyone got up to pack their things and prepare to head down the mountain.

Gu Junxing asked Nian Suian: "Are you coming back with us tomorrow, or staying here for a few more days?"

"I'm not going back with you," Nian Suian had already made up her mind. The scenery here was beautiful, and staying was very relaxing. Plus... "Isn't Xia Xia's case going to court on Monday? I promised her that once it's resolved, she'd bring Jiaojiao here to play." She had originally wanted to invite Jiang Yun to come as well, but Qu Zizhou had school and there was no one at home, so she couldn't make it.

It was also a good opportunity to avoid the Wei family. Even if the court made a ruling, there was no guarantee they wouldn't try something else.

"That's fine. When you want to come home, let me know and I'll come pick you up. If you need anything while you're here, just tell Liu Jian and he'll take care of it. The place is about to open for business, so he'll be staying here during this time."

"Mm, I understand."

"Little stepmom-sister, I'll miss you when you're not at home~" Having waited for the two to finish talking, Gu Zhijing finally had a chance to act coy with Nian Suian.

Nian Suian held back her laughter and comforted him, "Be good now, I'll be back in a few days."

Gu Junxing couldn't stand seeing such a grown boy act like this. "Have you finished your homework?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhijing let out a wail: "My dear father, you really know how to ruin the mood!"
