Shen Zhiyi After hanging up the phone, there was still a lingering blush and smile on her cheeks.
She held the phone in the palm of her hand and touched the screen gently, as if the temperature of the previous call still remained on it.
"Yiyi," the mother's voice came from Living Room, with gentle inquiry,
"Who are you calling? After calling for so long, you still call Balcony."
Shen Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat, he quickly adjusted his expression and walked back to Living Room with his cell phone in hand.
My father was sitting on the sofa watching the news. He raised his eyes when he heard the sound, with ordinary concern in his eyes.
"No one... just a classmate."
Shen Zhiyi replied vaguely, sat down on the single sofa next to his mother, picked up a pillow and hugged it in his arms.
"Classmate?" Her mother looked at her reddish cheeks and twinkling eyes, smiled and shook her head,
"You still keep it a secret from your mother? Are you... in love?"
The father also put down Remote Control and looked over. The atmosphere did not become tense, and the parents' eyes were more filled with curiosity and concern.
Shen Family has an open-minded atmosphere, and parents do not object to their daughters falling in love during college, but as parents, they will inevitably worry about whether the other party is reliable.
Shen Zhiyi knew that he couldn't hide it and didn't want to lie to his parents, so he nodded lightly and whispered, "Well... we are in love."
The mother's eyes lit up and she moved closer. "Really? What kind of child can win the favor of our family Yiyi? How is he? Is he good to you?"
A series of questions, with mother's unique concern and a little urgency.
"They are classmates from our school." Shen Zhiyi avoided the important and chose the light.
"He... is a very nice person, very talented, and he treats me very well."
She did not mention Zhao Chen's name, nor did she mention the words "Henglong" or "Chairman".
In her simple understanding, Zhao Chen was first of all the classmate who helped her find information at Library, spoke calmly in class, and would come to school just because of her text message, and then he had other identities.
"It's good that I'm from the same school. I know the basics." Father nodded, his tone was more reassuring.
"As long as the person behaves upright, is motivated, and treats you well, your parents will support you. When is it convenient for you, can you bring me home for a meal?"
"Dad!" Shen Zhiyi blushed even more, "It's still early... We have just started."
"Okay, okay, don't worry." Mother smiled and patted her hand, then thought of something again,
"By the way, is there a famous student in your class? His name is Zhao Chen? That's the young Chairman from Henglong Group. You often see him in the news."
Shen Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat, and the fingers holding the pillow tightened slightly, but his face tried hard to remain calm:
"Well... there is such a person."
Father Shen also became interested and took over the conversation:
"This guy is incredible. I work with many real estate companies, and it's rare to see someone like him take the initiative to shrink the front line and reduce debt at this time.
Many bosses are still immersed in expansion and think that the market will always rise. He can see the risks clearly and has determination, which is not easy."
My father's words carried the approval of a professional.
He is a Architectural Engineer of Design Institute. Although he is not directly involved in business, he has been exposed to industry trends all year round and has his own judgment on the market and corporate decisions.
Shen Zhiyi Listening to his father praising Zhao Chen, my heart felt like I had overturned a honey pot, it was sweet and filled with a secret and glorious pride.
She lowered her eyelashes to hide the smile in her eyes, and whispered in agreement, "Yes... it's quite powerful."
My mother watched the news about Henglong flashing across the news and sighed:
"Yes, I am under so much pressure at such a young age, and I heard that there are many internal objections.
Yiyi, your classmate... is indeed excellent. How does your boyfriend compare with him?"
This question caught Shen Zhiyi off guard.
"Mom!" She was so embarrassed that her ears were red, she buried her face in the pillow, her voice was muffled,
"My boyfriend... my boyfriend is also very good! No worse than him!"
She said this with full confidence, even a little "unconvinced" -
In her heart, Zhao Chen is of course the best in the world, but being compared face-to-face by her parents still makes her feel a strange sense of shame, as if she is the one being praised.
Seeing her shy and protective look, her parents laughed.
The father shook his head. "There is no chance for a female college student to be admitted."
Her mother hugged her shoulders:
"Okay, okay, your boyfriend is the best. As long as you like him and he treats you well, your parents will be happy."
The topic was brought to an end.
The parents did not delve into the man's specific name or family background. They had enough trust in their daughter and respected her privacy.
As long as the daughter is happy and the other person is a good, down-to-earth and progressive young man, that is enough.
Shen Zhiyi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a trace of complicated emotions in his heart.
She didn't mean to hide it, but Zhao Chen's identity was too special and involved too many rights and wrongs.
She didn't want her parents to get involved in complicated public opinions and potential risks prematurely. She just wanted them to know that she was in a simple and beautiful relationship.
Wait until later, when everything is more stable, and then tell them slowly.
She thought like this, snuggled next to her mother, and continued to watch TV, feeling peaceful in her heart.
