âYes, three of my classmates are making a fuss because their younger sister is targeting me. Iâm so annoyed.â Gu Chengxi grumbled.
âDid you spot someone you like?â Zhou Ying asked with a smile. âIf you do, you can settle down.â
Gu Chengxi shook his head repeatedly. âNo, I know theyâre not targeting me. Theyâre targeting the Marquis residence.â
âNo matter the reason, as long as they are not enemies with us, you can settle down with someone you fancy.â
âThatâs right. Youâre not young anymore. Itâs not too early to get engaged now.â Gu Chenglin echoed.
Zhou Ying looked at Gu Chenglin curiously. âDonât just talk about him. What about you? Is anyone after you?â
âThatâs right. Youâre much better off than me.â Gu Chengxi laughed.
âMy backer is strong. Iâll ask them to look for my brother-in-law if they want to look for me. Itâs not my fault if they donât dare to go.â Gu Chenglin replied proudly.
âDonât be careless. If you meet someone with thick skin, itâs really possible that their father will go to the Emperor after hearing your request.
âIf the Emperor hears this, feels that you are interested, and decides it for you, you will be in big trouble.â
âIt canât be?â Gu Chenglin was stunned for a moment, and his face was full of surprise.
âItâs possible. Although youâre still young, youâre the Emperorâs brother-in-law. There are too many people who want to be with you, so itâd be better to be careful. You might as well send the Emperor and your sister a message about this.â
âIndeed, you should be careful.â Gu Chengrui gloated.
âIâll go to the palace now and see my sister.â Gu Chenglin stood up.
âThereâs no need to rush.â
âI think Iâll go now. Itâd be best not to delay this.â
âAlright, remember to bring some gifts for the two kids. Ask Lin Yifan to send you there.â
âGot it.â After Gu Chenglin finished speaking, he ran out.
âYouâre eighteen this year, right?â Zhou Ying looked at Gu Chengxi.
âYes, eighteen years old.â
âSo what are you thinking? You should find a wife soon. If you miss your window, it will be too late.â
âI donât have that intention at the moment. I want to work hard and participate in the provincial examination after autumn.
âIf I get a good result, I want to try to be a scholar.
âIf the results arenât good, or even fail, I want to enter the Medical Law Office and focus on learning medicine from Brother Chengrui.â
âSince you have an idea, make it clear.
âOtherwise, if you give them hope, they will naturally pester you.â
âBut wouldnât that be breaking their hearts?.â
âSometimes, a decisive rejection doesnât hurt, especially when it comes to relationships between men and women.
âIf you give them hope, it would only be crueler if you rejected them later.
âItâs better to reject them directly from the beginning.â
âThank you for the advice.â
After that, Zhou Ying asked them about the situation in the academy.
She then got up and went to the kitchen to prepare some snacks, meat sauce, and other food for them.
After Gu Chenglin returned, the two carried their things back to the academy.
As soon as they left, Zhou Ying went straight to the restaurant to check on her business.
After learning that there was a decline in sales, Zhou Ying planned to introduce a membership card system.
However, when it came to the seafish, neither restaurant had any good news.
Moreover, there were no seafish in the capital anymore.
At night, Zhou Ying checked the situation in various places and found no big yellow carp or sea bass in the coastal areas..
