In this life, I will no longer be a scumbag to my childhood sweetheart - Chapter 23

At night, before going to bed, Liu Sufen was combing her hair in front of the mirror, and suddenly said to her husband: “Daqing, what do you think of what Lixia and her husband said today?”

“What else can you think?” Qin Daqing asked back.

“Oh, you are really stupid, don’t you see that they have other purposes?” Liu Sufen didn’t say anything during the day, but she actually saw through something.

“Lao Su and Lixia, they don’t want our daughter to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University!”

“Oh.”

The wife’s words didn’t seem to cause much trouble, and Qin Daqing still looked calm after listening.

“Are you deaf? Why didn’t you react at all!” Liu Sufen was annoyed.

“Haha, I’m listening to you.” Qin Daqing smiled and said casually: “Why do they do this?”

“Of course, it’s for Zelin, who else could it be for!” Liu Sufen analyzed: “Old Su and Lixia have always liked our Shiqing, and they wish our daughter could be their daughter-in-law in the future, but Zelin’s grades are not good, and it is very likely that he can only be admitted to a second-tier university in the province. If Shiqing goes to Tsinghua or Peking University, the couple thinks there may be no hope, so of course, they hope that Shiqing can stay in the province!”

“What is your attitude towards this matter?” Qin Daqing narrowed his eyes.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Sufen spoke: “Zelin is a good kid, but he is a bit reckless!” While affirming Su Zelin, she expressed the opposite attitude.

Su Zelin is not worthy of our daughter.

It’s not that Liu Sufen has any prejudice or bad impression of Su Zelin. The two families have lived in harmony for decades and are old friends.

Su Zelin is just a little naughty, but his nature is not bad. Liu Sufen knows it very well. However, when it comes to her only precious daughter, the apple of her eye, her requirements are naturally higher.

She hopes that her daughter’s future husband is a good man who is as good as her, not a jerk like Su Zelin.

Good neighbors and good sons-in-law are not to be confused.

She is very happy to be a good neighbor with Su Zelin, but if he is upgraded to a son-in-law, that’s a little bit off.

“You think Zelin is not qualified to be with Shiqing, right?” Qin Daqing spoke frankly.

Liu Sufen didn’t say anything, which was considered as tacit agreement.

“Let me put it this way, when Zelin graduates, he may be better than Shiqing, do you believe it?” Qin Daqing asked.

“How is it possible!” Liu Sufen shook her head without even thinking.

“Women have long hair and short vision!” Qin Daqing snorted, he felt it necessary to criticize his wife and teach her a lesson.

“Zerlin is born with a smart brain. He can understand everything at once. He doesn’t study well, not because he lacks talent, but simply because he has no interest in learning. If he really works harder, my daughter would have no chance of being the first in No. 2 Middle School!”

Liu Sufen hesitated and didn’t dare to refute. Because Su Zelin’s brain is not just smart, but scary smart, commonly known as a genius!

When he was in elementary school, Su Zelin was the laziest one in the school, but he almost always got full marks in two exams, which Qin Shiqing couldn’t compare to.

Many times when she encountered homework she didn’t understand, she still asked Su Zelin for answers!

It wasn’t until junior high school that the difficulty of the subjects increased and there were more subjects, when It was no longer enough to rely on the brain without hard work, Su Zelin’s grades became a little bit bad, but in the end he was still able to get into a key high school like No. 2 Middle High School.

If such a person is willing to spend more time and energy on learning, Liu Sufen can’t imagine what level he can reach!

Even the top scorer in the college entrance examination is not a problem!

“But you have to understand that Zelin is just not keen on learning, which does not mean he is not interested in other things. In fact, as long as he is interested in something, he will always learn faster and play better than our Shiqing!”

“Take skating for example. He and Shiqing both like it. They practiced together at the beginning. Zelin practiced for less than ten minutes, fell down, and then he could skate quickly. But our Shiqing fell dozens of times and practiced for a week, but she is still not as good as him!”

“And skateboarding, guitar, street dance… You can think of it, many other young people of this age can’t do it, but Zelin is proficient in almost everything. Doesn’t this prove something?” Qin Daqing said this, and Liu Sufen was a little unconvinced.

“Isn’t it just that Zelin’s physical body is too good?”

Qin Daqing disagreed: “Now Zelin is just keen on playing, but people will mature one day, and Zelin will sooner or later be able to settle down. If he wants to make money one day, he can come out and take over Lao Su’s business and make a fortune!”

“To do business well, you need several necessary conditions. First, you need to have a flexible mind, and Zelin already has it!”

“Second, you need to be smooth-talking, able to speak to people in a human way and to speak to ghosts in a ghost way, and you need to get along with everyone. I don’t even need to say if Zelin has this talent or not!”

“Finally, you need to be tough and able to endure hardship! Zelin has a kind of spirit of not giving up until it is done!”

“By the way, do you remember that when Shiqing was a child, she sprained her ankle and had to rest for a week before she could walk? At that time, we were still working in the factory and had no time to pick her up. It was Zelin who offered to carry her home. He carried her for a whole week, such a long way. He was only a seven-year-old child at that time. Have you ever seen a child with such willpower? ”

“So, don’t underestimate Zelin. After Shiqing graduates, at most she will get a good job in a unit or a in a big company, but Zelin may be a person who can call the wind and rain!” Qin Daqing made a final summary with earnest words.

He saw it very clearly. After all, he has been in the business world for so many years, and his vision is still impeccable.

Su Zelin’s characteristics are very similar to many big bosses he has met, and even in many aspects, he is better than them!

Liu Sufen was also shaken.

What her husband said really makes sense.

If Su Zelin becomes a big boss in the future, her daughter doesn’t seem to have any sense of superiority in front of him.

“Then what do you think we should do?”

“Let it be, don’t deliberately match them up, and don’t deliberately obstruct them. It’s the 21st century now, and we have to respect the wishes of children. You think Zelin is not worthy of our daughter, and he may not be interested in Shiqing!”

Liu Sufen thought about it and it was true.

My daughter is so beautiful and excellent, but Su Zelin seems to have treated her purely as a neighbor and friend over the years.

Even in the afternoon, he repeatedly suggested that Shiqing apply to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

In other words, he didn’t intend to pursue your daughter at all!

It’s just that I think too much!

*****

The next morning.

After breakfast, Su Zelin came to Qin’s house.

Walking into the neighbor’s yard, I saw Qin Shiqing.

She was standing next to the wall, watering the roses she planted by herself.

It was flower season, and the Cherokee (“蔷薇” is a kind of Chinese rose variant) in the courtyard were in full bloom and densely packed. Occasionally, bees buzzed in and out of the colorful petals, and butterflies fluttered.

Cherokee is not a famous flower. It is not as luxurious as a peony, not as gorgeous as a rose, and not as noble as a winter plum blossom. But cherokee has strong vitality and does not need too much care. It can grow freely in the sun and dew. It spreads and climbs all over the fence inadvertently, and the fragrance fills the courtyard and the whole house, which is intoxicating. [TN: Rose is rose. Flower is flower and beauty is beauty. I can’t differentiate]

It is so beautiful and low-key, just like his childhood sweetheart, beautiful but not out of reach, right beside, within reach.

Looking back, she was still a cute little girl with pigtails, but she has grown up to be graceful and beautiful.

Su Zelin looked at the beautiful figure and was a little bit fascinated for a while.

Such a beautiful flower, anyone would want to dig it up and plant it in their own yard.

However, Su Zelin could not do this, because he knew that he might like more than just roses, maybe roses, daffodils, hibiscus, peonies…[TN: (^◡◝) Master..take my bow!!]

This is not a flower that should belong to me, I just happened to pass by its blooming.

So, let it stay where it should be and grow up freely and happily.

Thinking of this, Su Zelin couldn’t help sighing.

The girl who heard the sigh turned her head, and the bright morning light bathed her body, scattering a faint golden glow.

“Zelin, when did you come?”

“Just arrived a while ago!” Su Zelin changed his face instantly, piled up a smile, and didn’t let his childhood sweetheart see his thoughts.

“Zelin, have you had breakfast? Your uncle Qin and I cooked meat porridge. How about eating at our house?” Liu Sufen came out of the house and asked with a smile.

After talking with her husband last night, she had some subtle changes in her attitude towards the future relationship between her daughter and Su Zelin.

“Haha, I’ve eaten, thank you auntie!” Su Zelin asked casually: “I just want to know, uncle and auntie, how have you discussed the volunteering matter with Shiqing?”

The two elders went out in the morning and couldn’t stop him anymore, so Su Zelin ran over to test the wind and see if he could persuade them a few words.

“I haven’t decided yet, but my daughter has grown up, we respect her and let her make her own choice. Zelin, do you have any good suggestions?” Liu Sufen asked intentionally or unintentionally.

“Tsinghua or Peking University, Shiqing will definitely get in!” Su Zelin said affirmatively.

Liu Sufen: “…”

Well, Daqing was right.

Zelin never thought about being with Shiqing.

“Do you really want me to go to Tsinghua or Peking University?” Qin Shiqing frowned slightly, and her crystal-clear eyes stared at him deeply.

Su Zelin avoided her gaze unnaturally, coughed dryly, and still brought out the old excuse: “It’s so glorious to have a neighbor who goes to Tsinghua or Peking University!”

“Got it!” Qin Shiqing ignored him and continued to water the roses.

Su Zelin couldn’t figure out her thoughts, and didn’t dare to ask anymore.
