Chapter 59 Visiting the Chu Family

The next day, Su Nuannuan got up very early and ran laps around the school as usual.

Over the past few days, Su Nuannuan's physical strength has improved significantly. She can now carry a 20-pound bag and walk two kilometers.

After Su Nuannuan finished breakfast, she returned to her dorm and changed into a dark green long dress. Dark green is very flattering, and when Su Nuannuan wore it, her skin looked as if she had applied a matte finish, fair and radiant. The dress length was just right, reaching Su Nuannuan's calves, and the cinched waist design made her look petite and delicate.

She braided her hair into two pigtails, put on a headband that matched her dress, looked in the mirror, and couldn't see anything wrong with it. She slung her backpack over her shoulder, picked up her gifts, and went out.

As I was leaving, I happened to see Hong Xiu returning from dinner.

Hong Xiu was stunned to see Su Nuannuan dressed up so beautifully.

Su Nuannuan rarely dressed up in her dorm room, so Hong Xiu had no idea what she was wearing. That's why Hong Xiu reacted so strongly to seeing Su Nuannuan looking so glamorous.

"Warm... Warm, you look so beautiful today."

No one dislikes being praised, and Su Nuannuan is no exception.

Faced with Hong Xiu's straightforward praise, Su Nuannuan's eyes crinkled with laughter.

Suddenly, Hong Xiu looked at Su Nuannuan, as if she wanted to say something. Seeing Hong Xiu's expression, Su Nuannuan asked the question.

"What's wrong, Ah Xiu?"

Hong Xiu gritted her teeth and spoke.

“Nuan Nuan, you must be wary of the people around you when you're out there. Not all the male students at school are good people. Last semester, a male student in the Literature Department was dating two women at the same time. After the affair was exposed, both of the women dropped out of school.”

Su Nuannuan didn't understand why Hong Xiu told her this; her attention was drawn to the words "drop out of school."

"Those two female students did nothing wrong, so why were they expelled?"

Su Nuannuan subconsciously assumed that the school had expelled them. Therefore, she felt somewhat resentful. Clearly, the scumbag was in the wrong, yet it was the two girls who were hurt.

"They were ashamed. Everyone knew about their situation and gossiped about them. The two of them couldn't take it anymore, so they dropped out of school."

Even knowing that the two had voluntarily dropped out of school, Su Nuannuan's expression remained grim. Although it was said that women held up half the sky in this era, feudalistic ideas still lingered in the minds of most people.

"Where's that boy?"

"He's still in school. I heard he's recently started dating someone new."

"Scumbag!" Su Nuannuan cursed inwardly.

Hong Xiu, unaware of Su Nuannuan's thoughts, assumed she had taken her words to heart and continued speaking.

"So, Nuannuan, you must not be fooled by a boy's sweet talk. You are still young, wait a couple of years before dating."

Hearing Hong Xiu's words, Su Nuannuan was both amused and exasperated.

It turns out that Hong Xiu told me all that because she was worried that I would be deceived by a scumbag when I went out. I felt a little warm inside.

"Ah Xiu, don't worry. I was invited by Ms. Zhao Yalan, a teacher at our school, to visit her home."

To put Hong Xiu at ease, Su Nuannuan told him about her encounter with Zhao Yalan on the train, omitting the part about saving the little boy.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiu suddenly realized that she had been overthinking things, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Nuan Nuan, you go ahead. I won't take up any more of your time."

After saying that, she quickly returned to her dormitory, as if she wasn't the one who had just earnestly advised her to be wary of scumbags.

Su Nuannuan smiled. However, thinking of that scumbag from the literature department, her face darkened again.

She didn't intend to do anything; she simply couldn't stand people like that.

After hearing Hong Xiu's words, Su Nuannuan now finds all the male students in the literature department quite displeasing.

However, this didn't last long. After seeing Zhao Yalan, Su Nuannuan composed herself.

The two had already made an appointment yesterday. Zhao Yalan would wait for Su Nuannuan at the school gate and then take Su Nuannuan home.

Su Nuannuan originally wanted to go to Zhao Yalan's house by herself. Zhao Yalan was worried, as there are many alleyways and lanes near Beijing University, and it's easy to get lost. Concerned that Su Nuannuan might get lost, Zhao Yalan refused Su Nuannuan's suggestion and insisted on coming to pick her up.

"Sister Yalan, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No. Nuan Nuan, you look really beautiful today." Zhao Yalan's eyes lit up when she saw Su Nuan Nuan, feeling that Su Nuan Nuan had an indescribable charm that other girls possessed.

"Sister Yalan is also very beautiful."

Su Nuannuan wasn't joking. Today, Zhao Yalan wore an apricot-colored cheongsam, her hair styled with pearl hair clips, making her look like a classical beauty.

The two of them standing together instantly became the most eye-catching sight on the street. Many gay men passing by would glance at them from time to time.

"Nuan Nuan, let's go. Uncle Xu is already at my house."

"Okay, Sister Yalan, let's go quickly."

Su Nuannuan knew that the "Uncle Xu" Zhao Yalan mentioned was Xu Heyi. As a junior, she shouldn't keep her elders waiting. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Nuannuan and Zhao Yalan went to Zhao Yalan's house together.

Zhao Yalan's home is a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). Upon entering, one is greeted by a carved wooden fence, a garden filled with flowers and plants, and a rockery and pond at the corner, which looks very elegant.

Su Nuannuan could tell from the layout of Zhao Yalan's house that her mother-in-law's family was not ordinary.

After entering, a simply dressed middle-aged woman came over.

"Yalan is back, and Sister Ji is waiting for you."

Zhao Yalan smiled at her, then whispered in Su Nuannuan's ear.

“This is my nanny, Aunt Min.”

Su Nuannuan nodded. Although the old system of slavery had been abolished at this time, some families who were used to employing people would still hire maids to help with chores. Obviously, the Chu family was no exception.

As Su Nuannuan entered the main room, she heard lively conversations inside.

Before she even went inside, Su Nuannuan's legs were grabbed.

Looking down, I was surprised to see Chu Huaying, the little dumpling.

Although it had been several days since they last met, Chu Huaying still remembered the beautiful older sister who had given him delicious food.

"Sister Nuan Nuan, are you here to visit my home?"

When Su Nuannuan saw Chu Huaying, she thought he was a good match, so she squatted down to be at eye level with the child and took out a few White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and put them in his hand.

"Who is it, Xiao Huaying? Here's some candy for you."

Chu Huaying's eyes lit up when she saw the White Rabbit milk candy, and she said happily.

"Thank you, Sister Nuannuan."

He grabbed the candy, quickly stuffed it into his pocket, and disappeared in a flash.

"That brat is probably afraid I'll take the candy away."

Seeing her son's behavior, Zhao Yalan said helplessly to Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan covered her mouth and smiled.

Just then, someone else came in from outside.

Su Nuannuan looked over and saw a familiar man and woman.

"Sister Mingxia!"

"Warm!"

Their eyes met, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Su Nuannuan never expected to run into Chu Mingxia, whom she had only met once before, here. Although she felt that Chu Mingxia's personality was suitable for being friends, she hadn't seen her for the next few days. Su Nuannuan also didn't take the initiative to contact her.

Unexpectedly, they met here.

Su Nuannuan also saw Chu Mingzhou next to Chu Mingxia.

Considering that both of them and Hua Ying shared the surname Chu, Su Nuannuan had some guesses in her mind.
