Chapter 171: Both the Expected and Unexpected Have Arrived_2
After all, people's threshold for feeling happiness keeps rising...
That's why the lives of the second-generation rich often fall into a void of emptiness and boredom. They can easily lose their goals.
From this point of view, Qiao Yu even thinks Yu Wei might be the happiest yet most unfortunate second-generation rich person in the world.
At least he has pursuits, but unfortunately, what he pursues may never be achieved in this lifetime.
Pulled Xia Keke upstairs, opened the door, and sure enough, saw Qiao Xi half-lying on the sofa, yawning while watching TV.
When she saw the two of them come in, she smiled and said, "You're back. Keke, hurry up and take a shower, there's a new set in the bathroom prepared just for you. After washing, sleep with me tonight. Qiao Yu, go directly to your room, and don't come out before we go to sleep."
"Hey, wait a minute, do I not need to shower? Why isn't it my turn first?" Qiao Yu argued logically.
Qiao Xi glanced at Qiao Yu and said, "Ha... Since you came to Beijing, hasn't it been rare for you to sleep without showering? I don't even know what Keke likes about you, maybe it's your lack of showering?"
Qiao Yu went silent, sulkily walking into his own room and then closing the door.
Xia Keke chuckled a couple of times... nice, not awkward at all.
...
"Why was your face so red when you came back last night..."
"Mmm..."
"Keke, do you listen to Mommy?"
"Of course, I do."
"Then you must listen to Mommy. Do what's appropriate for your age. Don't be foolish like I was when I was young."
"Uhh..."
"You know Qiao Yu doesn't have a father... although I believe Qiao Yu won't be irresponsible. But you have to realize that college life is more exciting, and during that time, it's crucial for your life planning.
So don't let anything affect your thirst for learning. Have fun while in Beijing, but once you're back, focus on studying hard and aim for Yanbei."
"Don't worry, Mommy. I was fifteenth in my class at the end of the term! The teacher said I improved a lot."
"You have to keep it up! Don't think too much about random stuff in the future, I'll watch over that kid Qiao Yu for you at Huaqing!"
"Mm! Thank you, Mommy."
"It's late, go to sleep."
"Oh, Mommy, good night!"
"Good night."
...
The next morning, Qiao Yu was woken up by the sound of his phone. Last night, he stubbornly didn't shower, and indeed he slept like a log.
The reason for not showering is quite adequate: the weather in Beijing is very different from Star City.
When the wind blows in Jiangnan, it indeed feels sticky. Since the air humidity is high, if you don't rinse off every night, you'll feel sticky and uncomfortable all over.
But Beijing is different; the air is dry, even if you don't shower for a few days, you'll still feel clean and fresh. Not to mention, in this environment, showering every day would disrupt the normal metabolism of the skin and make it dry.
Moreover, water resources in the North aren't as abundant as in the South...
Thinking about all this because Qiao Yu plans to find a time to explain the North-South differences to Xia Keke. He needs her to know that not showering every day in Beijing ought to be encouraged.
As for Qiao Xi, who, after coming to Beijing, still maintains habits from Star City, that's totally an unscientific way of living.
No choice, he had to find a way to save face after losing ground.
Picking up the phone and taking a look, it was all sorts of people on WeChat wishing him a happy birthday.
Sure enough, in the era of the internet, there's no privacy. Everyone, whether human or ghost, knows it's his birthday.
It's only eight in the morning, and knowing it's his birthday, they're still sending messages so early. Are they afraid he might sleep well?
Many messages weren't worth replying to, but when he saw a message from Chen Zhuoyang, he still replied.
After all, Senior Brother Chen not only wished him a happy birthday but also actively asked if they were going out for a meal today...
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, but I usually celebrate my lunar birthday. However, everyone here seems to prefer me celebrating the solar one, so I'll treat. It's at Class A Restaurant, and Master has reserved a private room for me. Can you come?"
Chen Zhuoyang's reply came quickly: "I'll be there, definitely! By the way, little junior, did you invite that Junior Sister Zhang?"
Just waking up, Qiao Yu's brain took a while to register.
"Junior Sister Zhang?"
"Zhang Xiao!"
Qiao Yu realized. Because he suggested they communicate, Qiao Yu had given Zhang Xiao Chen Zhuoyang's WeChat.
They should've added each other on WeChat for a while now. However, Senior Brother Chen deliberately asking about this still piqued Qiao Yu's curiosity.
"So, do you want me to invite her or not?"
"Of course, bring her along, it's just that... I feel like Junior Sister Zhang seems quite pretty, right?"
"Can you even feel that?"
"No, I saw the photos she posted in her Moments, the ones taken under Boya Tower."
"Ah... Senior Brother Chen, you still have time to scroll through Moments?"
"Don't joke around, little junior, isn't Junior Sister Zhang quite pretty? How do you find her personality? From the communication so far, I feel like it's quite pleasant."
"Senior Brother Chen, I'm still underage... but I think she's quite pleasing to the eye, and her figure is nice too. However, whether she has a boyfriend or not, I wouldn't know."
"I asked about it, and she doesn't have one. By the way, do you think I should buy a gift for her on the first meeting?"
Well, for his birthday, asking him if he should bring a gift for a senior sister? Senior Brother Chen's intelligence right now is truly touching...
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and replied, "I wouldn't know. You know, I've never chased a girl before; from childhood to now, girls have always chased me."
"..."
Seeing the ellipsis sent from the other side, Qiao Yu felt satisfied in his heart...
