Scholar's Advanced Technological System Chapter 1362 – I’m Regretful

Chapter 1362: I’m Regretful

At night time, the couple stayed at Lu Zhou’s house.

Lu Zhou slept in his room, while Chen Yushan stayed in Xiao Tong’s room. Over the years, Lu Zhou and his sister had been away from home all year round, but Fang Mei had been keeping their rooms tidy.

According to her, if her children came back someday, she wanted them to have a place to stay.

The next morning…

After eating breakfast, Lu Zhou took Chen Yushan around his hometown to take a look at the place where he grew up.

Even though she had been to Jiangling before, she only stayed for a few days and didn’t take a close look at the peaceful little town near the river.

From the kindergarten he once studied at to his high school, Lu Zhou took her to see all of the places where he made his memories.

Speaking of this, a minor disturbance happened.

When Lu Zhou returned to his high school, he saw a sculpture of him near the gate. This statue seemed to have been made by the school leaders when he had just returned to China to lead the controllable fusion project, where the school asked him for a donation.

Lu Zhou still remembered clearly that he resolutely rejected the sculpture back then.

However, he didn’t know if there was funding left over or if the local leaders wanted to please him, the statue was eventually built after many setbacks.

Chen Yushan was secretly laughing aside. Lu Zhou felt a little embarrassed looking at his statue. He turned around and wanted to leave, but he was recognized by the guard at the door.

Then…

The entire school was alerted of this. Even the Director of Education and the leaders of the city council committee were alarmed. They canceled their meetings and rushed over.

Lu Zhou was a little dumbfounded by the chaos in front of him. He just wanted to take his fiancee to take a look at his old high school. He didn’t want to disturb the studies of the young students.

In the end, he couldn’t keep pushing back the enthusiasm of the local villagers. Lu Zhou went on stage and gave a half-hour impromptu speech to the young students before he could finally escape.

Just like this, the couple spent three leisurely days in Jiangling where Lu Zhou reminisced over his youthful years. Afterward, Lu Zhou took Chen Yushan to Beijing.

She had met his parents already.

This time, it was time for him to meet her parents.

In a gated community on the edge of the 2nd Ring Road, most of the people who lived here were cadres’ families, who worked in ministries and commissions.

An old man stood at the gate of the community wearing a military coat. He recognized Lu Zhou’s face, so he let Lu Zhou in without making him register his name.

Normally, everyone had to register before entering the gated community, even if they were brought in by a resident. However, who didn’t know who Academician Lu was?

Whether it was out of respect or something else, the security guard didn’t ask him to sign in.

The couple entered the community quietly. They came to the door of Chen Yushan’s house and rang the doorbell.

There were footstep sounds coming from behind the door, and soon, the door was opened.

Chen Baohua looked at Lu Zhou standing at the door. He paused for a second, then spoke with a warm smile on his face.

“Yushan, why are you suddenly here? You should have told me in advance. You even brought Academician Lu home… Come on in.”

Chen Baohua invited the two into the living room. Chen Baohua gave Lu Zhou a strange look, as if this was the first time he had met Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou felt like Chen Baohua was a bit nervous, but he went along the flow.

Just like in his own home, Lu Zhou was welcomed by Chen Yushan’s family and stayed in the guest room at night.

Lu Zhou put his clothes into the basket and then into the washing machine. He yawned and returned to the guest room, only to find that Chen Yushan, who should have been asleep, was sitting on his bed in her pajamas with a suspicious look on her face.

Before Lu Zhou could ask what was going on, she took the initiative first.

“Is there something you and my dad are hiding from me?”

“It’s that obvious?”

“I noticed it immediately, okay? Wow, so you are hiding something!”

Chen Yushan was pouting like a little girl. Lu Zhou had a powerless expression on his face as he said, “It’s not a big deal. But if you are curious, I can tell you.”

“Tell me now! Or I will have to use torture to extract a confession.”

Lu Zhou wanted to confess the whole story, but when he heard this, he almost changed his mind.

He was curious what kind of torture could pry his mouth open.

After some hesitation, Lu Zhou chose not to mess around.

“When we just got engaged, your father… That is, my father-in-law, secretly came to Jinling.”

“He went to Jinling?” Chen Yushan said with a surprised expression on her face, “But… Why haven’t I heard him mention anything?”

Lu Zhou: “I said he came secretly, how is it a secret if he tells you?”

Chen Yushan frowned; she was baffled.

“But… Why did he hide it from me?”

Lu Zhou said casually, “Probably afraid that you will overthink. But he was also worried that his little daughter was deceived by some handsome guy, so he came over to confront me alone.”

Chen Yushan thought about it carefully; this was indeed something that her father would do.

Chen Yushan had a worried expression on her face. She looked at him and whispered, “He didn’t say anything offensive to you, right?”

Lu Zhou: “No, he was just a little angry that we made such a big decision and didn’t tell him, but the misunderstanding was quickly clarified. Then he asked me to treat you well and don’t let you down. Also, the next time I come to Beijing with you, to pretend that I was meeting him for the first time.”

“Pfft… First time… He has seen you several times before.”

Lu Zhou shrugged helplessly.

“That’s what I thought.”

“Actually, my dad’s quite adorable.”

Perhaps it was because of the silence of the night…

The conversation suddenly ended, and the atmosphere between the two people suddenly fell into silence; everything felt so natural.

Lu Zhou pondered for a long time before suddenly speaking, “I suddenly regret doing it.”

Chen Yushan’s body was tense. She asked in a quiet voice, “Regret doing what?”

“Just ask me the question again.”

“What question?”

“The one just now.”

Chen Yushan frowned and thought about it for a while. She then said in an uncertain tone, “… He didn’t say anything offensive to you… Is that it?”

“He was offensive.” Lu Zhou nodded solemnly. He looked at her and said seriously, “So, how are you going to make it up to me?”

Chen Yushan was taken aback for a moment, then her cheeks flushed. She reached out angrily and punched him on the shoulder.

“Stupid a*s…

“My parents are here… Can’t you… restrain yourself?”

Although I can be quiet…

But it will feel too weird!

Lu Zhou: “…?”

Seeing how Lu Zhou suddenly stopped speaking, Chen Yushan, who mentally prepared herself, couldn’t help but ask in a quiet voice, “What’s the matter with you? You’re not angry over this, right?”

Lu Zhou shook his head and spoke.

“No, I’m not angry. Just a bit surprised. I just wanted you to buy me milk tea tomorrow, I didn’t expect your reaction to be so extreme… If you don’t want to, it’s fine.”

“…”

For some reason, when Chen Yushan looked at Lu Zhou’s face, she wanted to slap him.
