Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 726: Couple Scoring
Zhou Jing and Gu Jia stayed in the company until around four o'clock and then went home. Today is Friday. After having dinner at his parents-in-law's house, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took the children shopping to a newly opened shopping mall nearby.

"Mom and Dad will take you out to play, okay?"

When they got in the car, Gu Jia said to the child.

"Mom, where are we going?"

The child was restrained by the seat belt but was still moving restlessly.

"Go buy new clothes for Zhou Zhou. Do you want new clothes?"

Gu Jia said while holding the child.

"Yes~ Dad, I want to play that~"

The little girl pointed at the amulet hanging in front of the car windshield and shouted.

"You can't play with that. It's a lucky charm that will help dad drive safely."

Gu Jia took out a toy from her bag and gave it to the child.

"The little yellow flower of the story has been floating since the year I was born, and the swing of my childhood has been swinging with my memory until now."

Zhou Jing turned on the music and hummed along.

"On this windy day, I tried to hold your hand, but the rain gradually got so heavy that I couldn't see you anymore." Gu Jia sang a few lines and suddenly remembered something and said, "That girl at the school radio station pursued you half a year before you became a teacher. I remember she played this song on the radio after school and said she gave it to a friend. Was it for you?"

Gu Jia remembered it very clearly. At the beginning, the girl gave her a great sense of crisis. One time during evening study, she checked Zhou Jing's bicycle in the playground of Experimental Middle School. When she saw Zhou Jing and the girl together, Gu Jia felt uncomfortable.

"Was there? I don't remember."

Zhou Jing pretended to have forgotten. From beginning to end, Zhou Jing never thought about what to do with that girl.

"How could you have forgotten with such a good memory? What did you think of that girl at that time?"

Gu Jia didn't believe that Zhou Jing could do it completely.

"I never thought about it. Vice President Liu asked the Dean of Academic Affairs to introduce me to him, so I just pretended to be nice." Without waiting for Gu Jia to continue asking, Zhou Jing took the initiative to confess: "I was single during that time, and I broke up with Chen Jiaqian for a while because I insisted on working in Yu City."

"I see. When did you make peace with Chen Jiaqian?"

Gu Jia didn’t know yet that Zhou Jing had a conflict with his ex-girlfriend because of work.

Zhou Jing said, "In October of that year, Chen Jiaqian went to Yu City to handle a case."

"You had a very fulfilling college life. The girl at the radio station was pretty, and the vice president was her uncle, so he wasn't bad either. You were single at the time, so why didn't you consider it?"

Gu Jia was very curious about what Zhou Jing was thinking when the vice-principal introduced him to a girl.

"During that time, I had a lot of trouble with Chen Jiaqian, and it was annoying enough to think of you in my heart."

Zhou Jing made up a reason. For adults, there is no such thing as suitable or not, only whether one is willing to get used to another person. If he had not been reborn to go to Experimental Middle School, Zhou Jing would definitely consider it seriously when facing the relatives introduced by the vice-principal. The world is realistic. Ordinary people can at least get along well in Experimental Middle School if they are related to the vice-principal.

"I don't believe you have feelings for me so early." Gu Jia kissed the child and said, "Your father is really a popular guy."

"I thought you were going to say I was a playboy."

Zhou Jing said self-deprecatingly.

"You are self-aware. I was so angry when I saw you dating that girl from the radio station while riding your bike in the playground during evening study time."

Gu Jia continued.

Zhou Jing said: "I made my point clear that time, and you never saw me and her together again, right?"

Gu Jia said: "It seems not. You are quite straightforward with her."

"I had no hesitation about you. I was planning to have a baby with you from the beginning."

Zhou Jing is a scumbag but he is not an indecisive person.

"If it weren't for Zhou Zhou, I wouldn't let you off so easily."

Gu Jia agreed with Zhou Jing's point. Having a child right after graduating from college and in the critical period of starting a business must have been a consideration of her age. Gu Jia could not blame Zhou Jing for this. If he was an irresponsible man, he would ask her to wait on the grounds that he had no time to have a child, and would even abort the child if they accidentally got pregnant. That would be really disheartening.

With the child, Gu Jia felt at ease. Even if she encountered some things, she was not heartbroken. Even if Zhou Jing got tired of the old and loved the new and divorced her, Gu Jia would not be at a loss or disheartened. With the child, Gu Jia had something to rely on. No matter who Zhou Jing was with, this child would be the ideal princess.

"Out of 10, guess how many points I would give you?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"2.5 points."

Zhou Jing said casually.

"It's not that bad. I'll give you a nine. How would you rate me?"

No one is perfect. Considering all aspects, Gu Jia believes that Zhou Jing has no other shortcomings except that he is not completely loyal in his relationship.

"Ten points. I haven't seen any flaws in you yet."

Gu Jia is the only perfect woman Zhou Jing has ever seen.

"There is no one without flaws. Zhou Zhou, do you think there is anything wrong with your mother?"

Gu Jia put her face close to the child and said.

"Mom is always mean to me~"

The little girl said in a baby voice.

"It's because you don't listen. If you were obedient, why would your mother be so mean to you? Your father always says that your mother is gentle."

Gu Jia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the child's mind, she was not gentle at all.

Zhou Jing found a parking space outside the shopping mall, put on a mask, got out of the car and carried the child out.

"Daddy hug~"

The little girl didn't want to land on the ground, so she tucked her legs together and let Zhou Jing carry her.

"If you don't walk on your own, I won't buy you new clothes."

Gu Jia got out of the car, put on her bag and said.

"Dad will carry you again when you are tired."

Zhou Jing put the child down and held her hand.

"Mom~"

The little girl let Gu Jia hold her other hand.

Gu Jia extended her hand but did not pull it. She said to the child, "Do you think mom is gentle?"

"A real man can bend and stretch. My mother is the most gentle."

Zhou Jing said with a smile.

"Mom is the most gentle~"

"That's more like it. Mommy has given all her tenderness to you and your daddy."

Gu Jia took the child's hand and went to the milk tea shop next to the mall to buy two cups of milk tea.

"Your mother is so great."

Zhou Jing looked down at the child and said.

The child wanted milk tea, but Gu Jia said it was water and opened the child's thermos cup for him to drink. Adults are prone to insomnia after drinking milk tea at night, let alone children. Gu Jia tried not to let the child drink drinks bought outside.

There were a lot of people in the mall, and it was too crowded for three people to walk side by side, so Zhou Jing held the child.

"Don't pull your father's mask, others will recognize him and snatch your father away."

Gu Jia stopped the child from pulling Zhou Jing's mask. Zhou Jing is too popular, and the footage of him taking care of the baby would cause heated discussions on the Internet. Being a celebrity is also very tiring. You have to be careful about your words and actions in public and who you are with.

"Cat cat~"

The child pointed at the huge cat puppet in the mall lobby and shouted.

"What a big cat."

Gu Jia acted surprised.

"Do you know what form the caffeine extracted from tea leaves takes?"

Zhou Jing said after taking a sip of milk tea.

"What shape?"

Gu Jia had no idea about caffeine.

"White crystal."

Zhou Jing had seen an experiment on extracting caffeine from tea leaves that his chemical engineering classmate had posted at university. It was quite fascinating.

I walked around the mall and bought some clothes and two pairs of cotton shoes for my child at a children's clothing store. It was the first winter I brought my child back to Tangdu, and he had no spare winter clothes or shoes.

After shopping in the mall and returning home, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia were not in a hurry to rest on the weekend. After coaxing their child to sleep, they stayed up all night.

"I dreamed last night that we were having sex in the car. It was so outrageous. Have you ever had such a dream?"

Gu Jia was on top, riding on Zhou Jing and said with a smile.

"My head isn't that dirty, do you want to experience it in practice?"

Zhou Jing said seriously.

"You're not dirty yet? Your face is thicker than a city wall." Gu Jia pulled Zhou Jing's face and said, "It's too cold now."

Gu Jia thought that she could feel it when the weather gets warmer next year.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Zhou Jing was embarrassed to admit that he was thick-skinned.

"You still feel embarrassed? I don't blame you, don't feel guilty. No matter how much you yearn for the world of pleasure, you are not an ordinary person now. You have to cherish your reputation for the sake of the empire you have built." Gu Jia could see that Zhou Jing had become much more shameless since his affair was exposed, and he was not as "bad" as before. Now that things had come to this, Gu Jia would not care about it, and hoped that Zhou Jing could forget the mess in the past.

"I don't yearn for the glamorous world, but with a wife like you, what else can I ask for?"

Zhou Jing traced Gu Jia's breasts with his fingers.

"Call my sister."

Gu Jia pinched Zhou Jing's chin and said.

"No, you call me brother."

Zhou Jing rubbed Gu Jia's legs with his hands and said.

"I am older than you."

Gu Jia tied her hair and said.

"If you don't want me to call you, I'll go to sleep first."

Zhou Jing said this and closed his eyes.

"Brother, you little brat!"

Gu Jia shook her head, and Zhou Jing looked like he was on strike, so Gu Jia had no choice but to give in.

"Call me brother."

Zhou Jing said again.

Gu Jia lay on the boy, blew in his ear and said, "Good brother, I..."

"."

It was late at night and the house was filled with music and singing.

The next day, Saturday, it was already past eight o'clock when Zhou Jing woke up. Gu Jia got up early and took the child to the bedroom on the first floor. Breakfast was ready and she fed the child first. Gu Jia was waiting for Zhou Jing to eat together.

Zhou Jing looked at his phone for a while, stretched and got up. He heard the child calling on the first floor, so Zhou Jing went to the corridor and responded by going to the bathroom.

The child wanted to find Zhou Jing. Gu Jia followed the child and watched him climb the carpeted stairs to the second floor by himself.

"Dad~"

The little girl kept muttering to herself as she found the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"Just wait outside for Dad."

Children always like to stick to their parents, and they also follow Zhou Jing and Gu Jia when they go to the toilet.

The little girl obediently squatted outside the door and waited. When she was tired, she sat down. Zhou Jing went to the toilet and washed his hands, then went out and picked up the child to wash his hands at the sink.

"Dad, I want to eat jelly~"

The little girl washed her hands and lay on Zhou Jing and said.

"Eating jelly in the morning will make my stomach hurt. How about eating hawthorn rolls?"

Zhou Jing kissed the child and said.

"Hmm! Ahhhhhh!"

The little girl stuck out her tongue greedily.

Zhou Jing took two hawthorn rolls from the table by the window in the lounge, ate one himself and gave one to the child.

"Zhou Zhou, ask your father to come down for dinner."

Gu Jia shouted from the first floor.

"Dad, please eat~"

The little girl heard Gu Jia's voice.

"Let's go, let's go eat."

Zhou Jing lifted the child and carried him to the first floor.

For breakfast, Gu Jia made soy milk, boiled eggs, fried membrane, and kimchi brought from her mother's home. This was Zhou Jing and Gu Jia's simple breakfast. The ingredients at home were insufficient so the breakfast was simple, but very delicious. Zhou Jing liked to drink soy milk and liked to eat fried membrane when he was a child. She could occasionally prepare meals for adults, but Gu Jia never prepared meals for children.

"Would you like some sugar on the diaphragm?"

Gu Jia poured soy milk for the two of them, added some sugar into the milk and said.

"No need." Zhou Jing picked up a piece of membrane, took a bite and said, "It's delicious. Do you want some zhouzhou?"

"what!"

The little girl opened her mouth.

"Children can't eat fried foods. What did Zhou Zhou eat?"

Gu Jia peeled the eggs, Zhou Jing broke an egg, picked out half of the yolk with chopsticks and fed it to the child.

"Don't feed me eggs, give me some soy milk instead."

Gu Jia said while eating.

"What to do this afternoon?"

Zhou Jing soaked the fried film in soy milk, took a bite and said.

"Let's go to Wang Ying's house. My mother is going too. Do you want to go?"

Gu Jia's cousin Wang Ying is four or five months pregnant and has something to ask Gu Jia.

"go."

Zhou Jing was just sitting around doing nothing.

After breakfast, Zhou Jing played with the children while Gu Jia washed the dishes. After washing the dishes, Gu Jia went to her mother's house. Gu's mother went to the supermarket near the community to buy vegetables. Zhou Jing drove a detour to the supermarket first, and the three of them went to the supermarket to find Gu's mother.

"Grandma~"

I knew I was going to look for Gu's mother. When I arrived at the supermarket, the little girl walked and shouted. Her cute teddy bear hat and sweet voice attracted people around her.

"Have you seen grandma?"

Seeing Gu's mother picking fish in the seafood area, Gu Jia said to the child.

"grandmother!"

Recognizing Gu's mother, the little girl ran towards her shouting.

"Be careful not to fall. What would Zhou Zhou like to eat?"

Mother Gu said with a smile on her face.

"I want some jelly, I want some candy~"

"I'm just thinking about snacks, what else do you need to buy?"

Gu Jia went over to help her mother push the shopping cart.

"Just buy another fish and make fish soup."

Gu's mother let her daughter and son-in-law choose.

Zhou Jing picked out crucian carp of suitable size to make fish soup and asked the salesperson to prepare it.

"Little fish, big fish, Daddy, look at the bubbles~"

The little girl pointed at the fish blowing bubbles and said.

"Can Zhou Zhou spit bubbles?"

Zhou Jing picked up the child so that he could see more clearly.

"Hoohoo! So many fish! Did Kitty catch these fish?"

The little girl blew into the pool and asked innocently.

"People can also go fishing. Do you want to go fishing?"

Gu Jia said while holding the child's hand.

"Fish will die of thirst if they leave the water~"

The little girl said in a baby voice.

"Then we won't fish."

The child's answer was a little unexpected to Zhou Jing and Gu Jia.

After buying vegetables, Gu's mother went to the snack area to buy jelly for the child, but Gu Jia didn't let her buy it, saying that she had just bought it last night. After walking around for a while, she bought a bottle of milk tablets. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia tasted it for the child and it didn't taste very sweet, so they deliberately didn't give it to the child to see the child's reaction. Seeing the adults eating, the greedy little girl awakened the fatherly and motherly love by calling out.

After returning home, Gu Jia helped her mother cook, while Zhou Jing coaxed the children while playing chess with his father-in-law.

Dad Gu took out a set of white jade chess that Zhou Jing had given him this year. Dad Gu would only use this set of white jade chess when playing with Zhou Jing. The chess was made of Hetian white jade, and Zhou Jing had spent more than one million yuan to customize it.

"Don't touch this, or Grandpa might break it."

The child wanted to play with chess, but Zhou Jing pushed it away.

"It's okay, I like to play with it."

Dad Gu handed a eaten chess piece to the child.

After a few games of chess, Gu Jia and her mother prepared lunch. Zhou Jing helped her father put away the chess pieces and went to eat.

The weekend ended quickly, and Ideal Technology held its annual meeting on Monday night. To put it simply, the annual meeting was a large-scale team-building event for the company. Last year, Gu Jia did not attend Ideal's annual meeting, but this time Zhou Jing brought Gu Jia to attend.
