Chapter 294: The Rare Shy Senior

November 5th, Saturday morning.

This semester's parent-teacher meeting arrived as scheduled as time went by.

Early in the morning, Li Luo got up and stretched. After a simple wash, he went to the bedroom next door, knocked on the door, then pushed it open and called Ying Chanxi out of bed.

After the two of them packed up, they were about to leave for school to meet up with Yan Zhusheng for a morning run.

As a result, the door of the house was pushed open from the outside.

Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong walked in from outside, followed by Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling, which immediately stunned Li Luo and Ying Chanxi who were changing their shoes.

"Come on, come on in." Lin Xiuhong warmly invited Xu Youyu's parents to come in. When she saw Li Luo and Ying Chanxi at the door, she was stunned for a moment, "Huh? You got up pretty early."

"Good morning, uncle and aunt." Li Luo greeted Xu Rongsheng and Cui Suling behind him, and then asked in confusion, "Why are you here so early?"

"Your parents' meeting starts at 8:30, and your Aunt Cui and I aren't going to attend anyway, so we might as well come and stay here early." Lin Xiuhong said, "It just so happens that your Uncle Xu hasn't been here much before, so let him come and see Youyu's living environment first."

After saying this, Lin Xiuhong asked again: "Why are there only the two of you? I know that Zhu Sheng is still living on campus, but where is the fisherman?"

"Forehead……"

"He must be still sleeping in." Cui Suling crossed her arms and sneered, "It's an old problem."

"Ahem... Xixi and I got up early to go for a morning run at school, so we got up a little early. Senior will probably get up around 6:30."

"Look, your child is sensible and can get up early for a morning run." Cui Suling shook her head repeatedly. After entering the house and changing into slippers, she went straight to Xu Youyu's room.

Li Luo and others watched her push open the door of the study. Before she walked in, her voice rushed into Xu Youyu's ears.

"Xu Youyu, get up!"

"Look at Li Luo and Xixi, and then look at you. How can you continue sleeping?"

As she spoke, there was a "whoosh" sound from the room. The curtains were pulled open by Cui Suling, and a ray of early morning sunlight shone from the study onto the corridor.

Xu Youyu, who was still sleeping in bed, heard a familiar voice in his ear and muttered, "Why do I have such a dream... It's so annoying... Can you change it?"

"You still find me annoying, don't you?" Cui Suling laughed. She threw back the quilt in a bad mood and slapped her daughter on the tight and plump buttocks. "Hurry up and get up. Go for a morning run with Li Luo and the others."

"Ah!" Xu Youyu was really awakened this time. Feeling the love from her mother on her buttocks, she quickly escaped from the bed, put on her slippers, turned her head and took a closer look. Only then did she realize that she was not dreaming, "Mom? Why are you here?"

"Today is the parents' meeting." Cui Suling said as a matter of course, "I just came to see how you were doing this morning."

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?" Xu Youyu muttered softly.

"I told you in advance, but is it still effective?" Cui Suling laughed, "Hurry up and wash up. Don't keep Li Luo and the others waiting for too long."

"It's only 6:10..." Xu Youyu picked up his phone and glanced at it, exuding resentment, "My alarm didn't even ring."

"Why are you talking so much?" Cui Suling glared at her. "Everyone knows that you should go for a morning run to exercise. Why can't you learn something? What's the point of just learning? When you get older, you will know the importance of exercising."

"Okay, okay, everyone is listening." Xu Rongsheng came to the door of the room, waved his hand and said, "Youyu, wash up and go to school with Li Luo and the others first."

"I know..." Xu Youyu rubbed his head and walked out of the room. His hair was messy after a sleep.

She came to the corridor and subconsciously glanced towards the door, and saw Li Luo and Ying Chanxi, as well as Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong standing behind them.

"Ah!" Xu Youyu's ears immediately turned red when he saw Lin Xiuhong and the others were also behind him. He quickly tidied his hair and said, "Uncle, hello, uncle and aunt..."

After saying that, she hurriedly slipped into the bathroom.

Li Luo was a little surprised when he saw Xu Youyu fleeing in panic.

This was the first time he saw Xu Youyu blushing shyly. It was really rare.

The way she ran away awkwardly in the corridor just now was completely different from her charming image when she secretly teased him on weekdays, and it was actually a bit cute.

After Xu Youyu got up and washed.

Cui Suling helped clean up her bedroom, took off the sheets and quilt covers and prepared to wash them for her, and tidied up her desk at the same time.

Xu Rongsheng sat down on the sofa with Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong and chatted for a while.

Because he had acquaintances in the Ministry of Education, Xu Rongsheng was quite familiar with the new college entrance examination reform system for Li Luo and his classmates, so he shared it with Li Guohong and others in advance.

However, their Xu Youyu was already in the second year of high school and did not need this information, so Xu Rongsheng did not ask in detail before, but simply told some details that outsiders were not clear.

For example, the additional minor subject of "Technology" has many tricks involved.

In the first year of the new college entrance examination reform, some schools did not even have corresponding teachers for this subject, and the textbooks were all brand new.

If they really want to, some poor students who are not good at either liberal arts or science can consider overtaking others in this subject.

However, Xu Rongsheng was just saying this. After all, with the results of Li Luo and the other three, there was no need to think about it so much.

While they were chatting, Xu Youyu had quickly washed up, changed into his school uniform, put on his schoolbag, and came to Li Luo and the others.

"I'm fine, let's go."

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded, called Ying Chanxi who was quiet and well-behaved beside him, and then said to the people on the sofa, "Then we will leave first. The school will not open until eight o'clock. You can take your time."

"Got it. Go ahead." Lin Xiuhong waved her hand and watched the three children leave. Then she also propped up her knees, stood up and walked towards Li Luo's bedroom, "I'll go clean up the room for him, too."

So only two grown men, Xu Rongsheng and Li Guohong, were left in the living room chatting.

Although Li Guohong is far inferior to Xu Rongsheng in terms of knowledge, Xu Rongsheng is indeed a gentle, open-minded person with high emotional intelligence. With the help of downward compatibility, he can have a very pleasant chat with Li Guohong.

But after a while, Lin Xiuhong's voice came from the master bedroom.

"Guohong! Come here!"

"What's the matter?" Li Guohong looked confused. He apologized to Xu Rongsheng, then got up and walked towards the master bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin Xiuhong leaning over Li Luo's bed, looking at something.

Seeing him come in, Lin Xiuhong hurriedly waved to Li Guohong, motioning him to look at the bed.

Li Guohong took a closer look and saw Lin Xiuhong mysteriously picking up a hair from the bed and putting it in front of him: "Look what this is?"

"hair."

"Look at the length!" Lin Xiuhong reminded him immediately when she saw that he hadn't reacted yet.

"Oh, this is not Li Luo's hair." Li Guohong reacted and then said speechlessly, "What's the big deal? Maybe it was left by Xixi and the others when they came to play in Li Luo's room."

"But this is a bit too much, isn't it?" Lin Xiuhong frowned and pointed at Li Luo's bed sheets and pillows. "There are quite a few on the pillow too."

"And I asked him to change the sheets once a month at most. It's almost summer, so he has to change them more often."

"I don't know if this is the amount I have accumulated over the past few days, but this is all."

After being reminded by Lin Xiuhong, Li Guohong came to his senses. He frowned and looked carefully at Li Luo's bed sheet: "So whose hair is this? Is it Xixi's?"

"I don't know. There can't be any fishermen, right?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? Besides, their parents are outside, so you can't say anything carelessly." Li Guohong warned him a few times, and then said, "Maybe they just got together in the house to play games? Playing cards or something, and if they play for a long time, it's not impossible that their hair will grow here."

"That's better." Lin Xiuhong sighed, "This kid is really a worry."

"Alright, alright, it's not a big deal." Li Guohong coughed twice and said, "It doesn't affect their academic performance anyway. If something really happens, with Li Luo's current income and conditions, well... he can totally afford it."

"How dare you say that?" Lin Xiuhong hit him angrily. "How dare you say that? Do you have some shame? Aren't you ashamed?"

"That's just what I said." Li Guohong smiled awkwardly, "If it were us, people of Li Luo's age would have secretly found a partner. In a year or two, their families would have arranged blind dates for them. They would have married and had children early. It's not like now, when people can wait until they are in their thirties."

"How can that be the same?" Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes. "I watched Xixi grow up. When her mother passed away, I promised her that I would take good care of her. If my own son were to embezzle her, I would be so ashamed."

"There's nothing shameful about this." Li Guohong said, "A year ago, I also thought that Li Luo was a bit muddleheaded and really wasn't worthy of Xixi, but the situation is different now."

"Just look at the relationship between our family and the old Ying family. Li Luo and Xixi also have such a good relationship now."

"You said... um? I think it's pretty good."

"Don't you want Xixi to be your daughter-in-law?"

As Li Guohong teased her like this, Lin Xiuhong became more and more excited.

indeed.

This little girl Ying Chanxi is likable in every way.

She has been obedient and well-behaved since she was young, has good academic performance, is willing to learn cooking from her, and is also good at cleaning.

Ying Zhicheng's conditions are good, and he only has one daughter, Ying Chanxi.

If Li Luo were really allowed to marry into the family, the two families would be even closer, and their hometowns in the countryside would be next-door neighbors, and she wouldn't have to worry about whether to go back to her husband's or her parents' home during the New Year.

After hearing this, Lin Xiuhong fell into her own fantasy for a moment, and a smile subconsciously appeared on her face.

But after thinking about it, Lin Xiuhong said, "The children are still young. We have to wait until they are admitted to university."

"That's all I said." Li Guohong said, "Li Luo is still very measured and methodical in his actions now, so he shouldn't go too far. For things like this, let's just let nature take its course."

"You should tell Li Luo in private." Lin Xiuhong smiled helplessly, "Otherwise, if something really happens, be careful that Lao Ying will chop you with a knife."

"Why would he chop me?" Li Guohong said speechlessly, "If he's going to chop someone, he's going to chop that brat Li Luo." The couple was chatting like this in private, while on the other side, Li Luo and the other two had already gone downstairs and were walking towards the direction of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.

"I'm so sleepy." Xu Youyu followed Li Luo, swaying forward unsteadily, muttering, "You didn't even remind me that my parents were coming."

"Aunt Cui walked towards your room as soon as she entered the door. We both changed our shoes, so there was no time for her." Li Luo rolled his eyes at her, then smiled and said, "It's a rare opportunity to get up early, how about taking you for a morning run?"

"No." Xu Youyu refused decisively, "You guys go run, I'll just watch from the side."

A few minutes later, at the school playground.

Li Luo was holding Xu Youyu's hand in front, while Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi were pushing her back, and the four of them were jogging on the playground track.

"You guys are going to die... I told you not to run... Huh... I'm so tired..." Xu Youyu ran three laps with them with heavy steps. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He waved his hands to break free from their clutches and walked aside to catch his breath and rest.

Seeing this, Li Luo and the others simply stopped.

"Senior, you don't have enough physical strength." Li Luo laughed, "We need to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and labor-wise. As the president of the Student Union, you must set a good example."

Xu Youyu propped himself up on his knees, raised his head and gave him a cold look: "Get lost, it's Xixi's turn to be the president next semester anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

"That's true." Ying Chanxi on the side covered his mouth and chuckled, "But senior sister, you should exercise more. Normally, jogging three laps like this shouldn't make you so tired."

Yan Zhusheng looked at Xu Youyu who was breathing heavily and asked curiously, "Don't we have running exercises every morning? If we run seriously, our physical strength won't be so poor, right?"

"Why do you think I worked so hard to become the student union president?" Xu Youyu sighed, "Of course, it was to continue to be the gymnastics supervisor."

The Student Union arranges running exercise supervisors every week to cooperate with the physical education teachers to carry out the running exercise activities during the morning breaks.

There are about four or five spots available per week.

Students who serve as supervisors do not need to run exercises, they just need to follow the physical education teacher to supervise the exercise activities.

"No one is as lazy as you." Li Luo shook his head and laughed, "Let's just go jogging together every morning, otherwise your physical fitness is really not good enough."

"No, no. I still need to sleep in." Xu Youyu snorted, "If you want to run, run by yourselves. Don't drag me along with you."

Having said that, the four of them headed towards the cafeteria, had a simple breakfast, and then headed to their respective classrooms.

Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng returned to Class 8's classroom and sat down. After the morning self-study began, Kong Junxiang came in with a bunch of things and began to arrange the procedures for the parent-teacher meeting.

Just like last time, after the morning self-study ends at 8 o'clock, the school gate will be opened to allow parents to enter the school.

Once the parents arrive in the classroom, students can give up their seats and leave the classroom, either to find seats in the study room upstairs or to participate in interest club activities.

However, there will be no parent visit activity this time. All the morning time will be used to explain the content of the new college entrance examination reform.

As a member of the student union, Li Luo said hello to Kong Junxiang during morning self-study, went downstairs to the school gate early, and helped entertain the parents who arrived early.

As a result, Xu Rongsheng and Li Guohong were seen at the school gate.

"Why are you here so early?" Li Luo approached his father and asked in confusion, "Why don't you come at eight o'clock?"

"Your mother and Aunt Cui said they would do a big cleaning for you and kicked us out." Li Guohong said helplessly.

Xu Rongsheng, who was standing by, smiled and said, "I just happened to come over to see you guys. Youyu said that she took the initiative to go jogging with you guys this morning?"

"Uh..." Seeing Xu Youyu looking at him with a smile, Li Luo smiled helplessly, "Yeah, she ran away too."

At this time, Ying Chanxi next to them had already poured two glasses of water and brought them to Li Guohong and Xu Rongsheng.

Not far away, a red Audi stopped by the roadside. Zhang Xuefen got out of the car and walked straight to the school gate. She caught a glimpse of Li Guohong and immediately walked over with a smile and greeted him.

"Xiuhong didn't come today?"

"She is cooking at home." Li Guohong responded.

"Oh, I see." Zhang Xuefen looked a little disappointed when she didn't see Lin Xiuhong, but she still chatted with Li Guohong, "Guohong, you don't know yet, right? The project that our Dongrong told you about before is about to end in a year, and the 10% interest rate is ready to be paid to the investors."

"Has the price of the house you bought in Bihai Lanting increased?"

"The economy of this area north of Ningshan cannot be developed. I don't know why you want to buy a house here."

"If you had invested in the Dongrong project last year, you would have received tens of thousands of yuan in interest in two months."

Now that his son has become successful, Li Guohong is in a very good mood. When he heard Zhang Xuefen say this, he just smiled and responded with a few words of congratulations. He was too lazy to argue with her.

If it were a year ago, he might have been quite greedy for the interest of tens of thousands of dollars.

But now...it's just his son's royalties for a few days, is it a lot?
Li Luo was listening nearby and was also speechless, thinking that his cousin was really talkative.

As for their project, they were able to pay interest normally only in the first two years. Starting from the third year, they gradually started to use shares, future houses and the like to repay the debt.

When I wanted to get my capital back, they made all kinds of excuses and kept delaying payment. For the sake of their relatives, I couldn't file a lawsuit directly.

Several years later, a group of relatives finally couldn't stand it anymore and jointly filed an appeal, but by that time the funding chain had already had serious problems and it was no longer possible to save the situation.

Li Luo's current monthly royalties are several hundred thousand yuan. Although it is still quite meager compared to other reborn people, it is enough for his family to live a worry-free life.

Once I buy a few storefronts on West Street, and wait for the subway line to open and Times Tianjie to be completed, I will be able to lie back and relax for the rest of my life.

Looking at Zhang Xuefen's boasting and sarcastic look at this moment, Li Luo just found it funny.

At this moment, a parent nearby saw Li Guohong and immediately exclaimed, then walked up to greet him: "Guohong? Are you here for the parent-teacher meeting as well?"

"Oh, An Gang." Li Guohong saw this man and immediately greeted him with a smile, "I'm holding a parent-teacher meeting for my son, are you too?"

"Yes." Li Angang nodded and smiled, "My son is in his third year of high school. This is the last parents' meeting. He will take the college entrance examination soon."

Seeing his father greeting this uncle, Li Luo realized that this should be the real estate agent that Li Guoru had introduced to his father before, and he seemed to be a fellow villager from Lijia Village.

Because the amount of money Li Guohong spent on buying the storefront this time was quite large, Li Angang attached great importance to him as a client and they became very familiar with each other when they chatted.

If Li Guohong had not already made an appointment with Xu Rongsheng and others for lunch, he would probably have been invited by Li Angang to have lunch with him by now.

Zhang Xuefen was suddenly left aside, and her face immediately looked a little ugly and she felt unhappy.

But she knew this Li Angang. She met him at the dinner table when her family member Wei Dongrong was having dinner with someone. He was a big real estate businessman in Yinjiang District and had a wide network of contacts, so Zhang Xuefen couldn't say anything.

Soon, after a brief exchange of greetings, it was eight o'clock.

The school gate opened, and parents who arrived early walked into the gate of the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School one after another.

Zhang Xuefen, who was standing nearby, saw Li Angang and Li Guohong separate, so she quickly came to Li Angang and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Angang, do you still remember me? Dongrong's wife."

"Dong Rong? Which Dong Rong?"

"Wei Dongrong, we talked about the self-built real estate project before."

"Oh, I have an impression." Li Angang recalled that he had a good impression of Wei Dongrong. He had a considerable business in Yinjiang District, so he immediately nodded and greeted Zhang Xuefen.

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Zhang Xuefen couldn't help but ask, "Guohong and I are also relatives. I see that you two are chatting so well. Brother Angang is also very familiar with him?"

"Yes, then I'm a big client." Li Angang said with a smile.

"Big client?" Zhang Xuefen was immediately puzzled. "Isn't Brother An Gang in the real estate business? Guo Hong's family just bought a house in Bi Hai Lan Ting. How did they become big clients?"

"What is Bi Hai Lan Ting?" Li Angang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "We are talking about another project. It's several million yuan. Can it be a small client?"

"What?" Zhang Xuefen was stunned for a moment, wondering where Li Guohong's family got millions of dollars from. "Did you get cheated by them? They just run a breakfast shop, where did they get millions of dollars from?"

Hearing this, Li Angang frowned impatiently: "What's there to talk about with you about this? Why are you asking so many questions?"

He and Li Guoru have been friends for many years, so there is no way he would lie to him for such a small matter.

Besides, what's so good about this thing? He is just an agent and it only takes a little time and effort, what can you cheat him of?
It's hilarious.

Li Angang was too lazy to pay attention to this woman anymore. He shook his head and waved his hands at her, indicating that he had to go to a parent-teacher meeting and would not talk to her anymore.

Zhang Xuefen stopped where she was, her face changing from gloomy to bright. She tried her best to figure out where the millions of dollars from Li Guohong's family suddenly came from.

As for Li Guohong, he had already walked into the teaching building and came to the classroom of Class 8.

When Kong Junxiang saw Li Guohong coming in, he immediately warmly welcomed the parent of his class monitor and exchanged a few words with a smile on the podium.

When Li Guohong came to Li Luo's seat, Yan Zhusheng stood up obediently and helped him pull Li Luo's chair away: "Uncle, please sit down."

"Oh, thank you."

As soon as Li Guohong sat down, Yan Zhusheng immediately ran to the water dispenser next to the podium and poured a glass of water for Li Guohong.

Looking at the disposable water cup handed over by Yan Zhusheng, Li Guohong was also filled with emotion.

Thinking that this girl is the daughter of his idol Yuan Wanqing, and that she is his son's deskmate and a partner in the same rock club...

If Yan Zhusheng were to become my daughter-in-law in the future... actually, it seems... like... it wouldn't be bad?

But Xixi is also very good.

Li Guohong, who had no idea what Zhang Xuefen had just done, was now caught up in some kind of happy distress, and he even took it up for his own son.
