When Mrs. Qin heard her husband’s voice, she smiled and said, “I had to wake her twice before she got out of bed.”
“No way.” Mr. Qin clearly didn’t believe her. He knew his girl’s personality very well. She didn’t look like someone who would laze around in bed.
“Girl, are you feeling unwell?” Mr. Qin quickly stepped forward and touched her forehead worriedly, before feeling his own forehead. “There’s no fever. Did you catch a cold? Does your throat feel uncomfortable? Do you feel like sneezing? Maybe you should start school tomorrow?”
“Go, go, go!” Mrs. Qin patted his big belly. “What do you mean by starting school tomorrow? I think you just don’t want Guoguo to report to school!”
“…” Mr. Qin touched his stomach and said awkwardly, “I’m just worried about her. Besides, there are so many good universities in our city. Why does she have to go to Lin City? That place is not as prosperous as ours. We’re a first tier city. Why should she go to a second tier one?”
Mrs. Qin threw away her spoon and turned around to look at him in disbelief. She couldn’t stand this aspect of him. Why did he insist on keeping his daughter by his side? How could she ever have any achievements if things continued like this?
“Your daughter chose the college herself. As her parents, we should give her our full support. We shouldn’t be her stumbling block..”
“That’s not what I meant. I think Guoguo is still young. She should stay by our side at this age. When she grows up…”
Seeing that the two of them were getting worked up, Xiaoguo quickly wiped her tears and stopped them. “Although Lin City is a second-tier city, their university has excellent teaching resources. Excluding those who had chosen to study abroad, most of the top scorers in the college entrance examinations had chosen to enroll in my school.”
The college that she had enrolled in was one of the top ranking colleges in the country, and also had a good reputation on the international level. Her father was not dissatisfied with the school, he just didn’t want her to leave home.
When Mr. Qin heard her mention her peers who had gone abroad, he quickly shut his mouth. Compared to her going overseas, it was better to keep his daughter by his side. He should stop talking about it. Otherwise, if he forced her into a corner and she decided to go overseas, he would have nowhere to cry.
“Alright, alright, let’s eat…”
Xiaoguo sniffed and tried to smooth things over with a smile.
Mrs. Qin let out an angry snort. Knowing that he was in the wrong, Mr. Qin helped to serve the food and set the table. Even while serving the rice, he hurriedly served his wife first.
Xiaoguo was still in a daze as she sat in the car and set off for Lin City.
“Dad?”
“Sigh…”
“Mom?”
“Ah, what’s wrong?”
After calling out to the two of them, Xiaoguo returned to her trance-like state.
Mr. and Mrs. Qin glanced at her in the rearview mirror and exchanged glances. Even with years of mutual understanding between them, they couldn’t figure out what was going through their daughter’s head. “What was going on today? She was behaving so strangely.”
She called out to them again several times without saying anything else. It was only when they got off the expressway near the city that Xiaoguo had a complete grasp of the situation.
“Dad, Mom, I will go back once a week.”
“What?!!”
Mr. Qin’s hand trembled as he drove. He was happy to hear that, but it sounded so strange…
Mrs. Qin was more direct. She immediately turned around and looked at her in disbelief. “Didn’t you say that it was too troublesome to travel back and forth?”
Not that they hadn’t mentioned it to her before, but this girl had told them that if she had the time to travel back and forth, she might as well participate in more extra-curricular activities to broaden her horizons.
The corners of Xiaoguo’s mouth twitched. Did she say that before? It was a memory from decades ago. She had no recollection of it.
“I think it’s more important to spend time with you.”
The two cities were close to each other. She could reach home in two hours by car. She didn’t want to waste such precious time on extracurricular activities.
Most importantly, no matter how good life was now, it could not stop the apocalypse that was going to take place four years later.
Since she had the chance to come back with her memories intact, she was not going to let the tragedy of that lifetime repeat itself.
That was a natural disaster. She had no power to stop it. The only thing she could do was to protect herself and her parents, and do what she could within her capabilities.
If not for the fact that she was trying to avoid suspicion, she wouldn’t even want to attend school. She would have stayed at home with her parents, and started preparing for the apocalypse. There was no point in going to school.
Xiaoguo, who was deep in thought, didn’t notice her parents’ expressions. When she returned to her senses, she saw the two of them secretly wiping their tears. “What’s wrong? Mom, Dad, what’s wrong?”
“Guoguo… Guoguo has grown up…”
“Daddy and Mommy are crying tears of joy…”
Xiaoguo’s heart tightened and tears streamed down her face. “Dad, Mom…”
She merely mentioned that she wanted to spend time with them, and they reacted so strongly to her words. She felt like she had failed in her duties as a daughter…
“Okay, okay, stop crying. We’re almost at the school gate. It would be embarrassing if anyone sees us.”
Mr. Qin wiped his tears and heaved a sigh of relief. He was so happy today. He had to do something, maybe give her a reward!
Mrs. Qin and Xiaoguo had just stopped crying when they were shocked by his sudden change in attitude.
“Honey, what are you doing?”
Seeing that the school gate was getting further and further away, the mother and daughter looked at Mr. Qin strangely, not understanding what he was trying to do.
“Didn’t Guoguo say that she is coming home every week? It’s inconvenient to travel back and forth by public transport. It’s too slow. I’ll buy her a car. It’s easier if she drives herself!”
Mr. Qin turned on the GPS happily and entered the address of the nearest car dealer.
Xiaoguo was shocked by his actions. “No way?!”
“Are they going to buy a car just like that?!” If she remembered correctly, she had mentioned this to them not long ago after she got her driver’s license. However, the two elders thought that she was still young and it was too dangerous for her to drive, so they promised to give her a car after graduation. ” Why have they suddenly decided to buy a car now?!”
“I think so too.” Mrs. Qin looked like she approved of her husband’s idea. In this summer season, she didn’t want her daughter to squeeze with strangers on a public bus. It would be too tiring for her. She turned to her husband and said, “Buy a good make. It’s safer. It’s best if the car can last beyond her college years.”
“What do they mean?!” Xiaoguo turned to look at her mother in disbelief. “Are they being serious?!”
Mr. Qin nodded in agreement. “The interior must be comfortable, and it must come with all the safety features.”
It had to be good enough for his dearest daughter.
Xiaoguo was so shocked by their conversation that she collapsed in the backseat. Driving?! Please, she hadn’t touched a car door in decades. She couldn’t even find the seat belt buckle just now!
“Mom…”
“I think it has to look good too. The best color is pink or white. These colors look more stylish…”
“Dad…”
“Appearance is secondary. The most important thing is the interior. It has to look good and feel comfortable. And the brakes…”
“Are you guys listening to me?!”
Xiaoguo kept talking for a long time, but no one was paying attention to her. The two of them finalized the type of car they wanted to buy without giving her a chance to say anything.
When they arrived at their destination, they went straight to the car model that they had set their eyes on. They forced Xiaoguo to go in and get a feel of the car. Fortunately, they did not make her go for a test drive.
Anyway, in the end, they still bought a car, but not the one they had decided on. Instead, they listened to Xiaoguo’s request and bought an SUV that was in the same price range.
Mr. Qin’s heart didn’t ache at all when he swiped his card. He had bought a car that cost a few hundred thousand just like that. Xiaoguo’s heart was aching for him. With that much money, she could have bought a lot of food supplies with it!
The Qin family runs a five-star hotel, and Xiaoguo’s father was a master chef who runs state banquets. To them, a few hundred thousand is not a big deal, and they don’t feel any pain spending that kind of money.
However, in the end, Qin’s mother insisted on going to the Z,S store to put a pink car wrap on this SUV.
Just like that, three days later, at the entrance of the school, a flashy pink off-road vehicle was kindly delivered to Xiaoguo by an employee from the Z,S shop.
A cool woman with a good figure was dressed conservatively and all wrapped up from head to toe. At the same time, she was the owner of a flashy looking SUV. Such an eye-catching image instantly caused a stir on the school’s online platform. Everyone was guessing the identity of the girl and was dying to see if her face was a match or contrast to her attractive figure..
