Chapter 322 From Classmate to Girlfriend

After that special night, Xu Wen had an extra “pendant” by his side.

The name of this “pendant” is Gu Xingruo.

From that day on, the eldest daughter became more clingy than before.

Wherever Xu Wen appears, she will be there immediately.

Apart from attending classes, she spends most of her time at Linjiang University or in her new company.

She drives her brightly coloured Ferrari around the city.

They work and eat together during the day, and when night comes, they naturally do what they love to do.

After doing it so many times, Gu Xingruo even learned to take the initiative.

She learned how to serve and how to be on top.

Just as Xu Wen finished sighing about his good health, he began to feel a little overwhelmed.

It seems that his twenty-year-old body should be trained more and strengthened, and he can’t rely solely on his innate values.

Of course a man can’t take the initiative to say that he can’t bear it anymore.

He waited silently, and finally the eldest lady’s relatives came. Once the relatives arrived, the day finally ended.

Xu Wen touched his sore waist and felt helpless for a moment.

It seems that the reason why his grades dropped so quickly when he first got together with Gu Xingruo in his previous life was probably not just because of “going out to play every day”.

He understood Gu Xingruo’s thoughts.

It is normal for children to be interested in something like this after just experiencing it, and it will probably get over it after a while.

As we enter March, there is a festival that sounds important but is not that important.

International Women’s Day.

After a few years, this festival was gradually distorted into “Goddess Day” or even “Valentine’s Day”, and boys must give gifts to girls.

But some girls may have forgotten that the name of this festival is “International Women’s Day.”

It’s not about everyone, but some “goddesses” really have little to do with the word “labor”.

During this festival, the happiest people are the merchants.

Because many boys have to buy gifts for girls, if they don’t, it means they don’t love them.

In addition to gifts, some girls also ask for money transfers.

This transfer can also be inflated, from the initial “200” to the later “520”, then “1314”, and finally it became a question on a certain book: “My boyfriend only transferred 5200 to me on Women’s Day, do I need to continue?”

This is much faster than the rate of inflation at the University of Tokyo.

I wish the takeaway coupons on the software could expand at this rate.

Xu Wen had only heard about the above chaos but had not experienced it personally.

After all, he also had an important task to accomplish on Women’s Day.

That is to protect his customers one by one.

After all, every one of his clients is a real goddess, and anyone who can give him money is of course a goddess.

He is busy with work every Women’s Day and hasn’t given his mother a good holiday for a long time.

So this holiday he plans to go home and celebrate with his mother.

If you transfer 5200 to your goddess, she will go online and ask “Do we still want to continue?”, but if you only need to transfer 52 to your mother, your mother will say “Our child has really grown up and become sensible.”

In addition to preparing a gift for his mother, Xu Wen also prepared a small gift for Gu Xingruo.

Although Women’s Day should not be celebrated as Valentine’s Day, what girl would refuse a gift?

He doesn’t lack the money for this gift.

Xu Wen knew that Gu Xingruo liked magical girls, so he went and bought a miniature magic wand.

It looks ordinary, but its value lies in the fact that it is made of pure gold.

What girl wouldn’t like gold? Especially a magic wand made of gold.

Before the concept of “Goddess Day” became popular, March 7th “Girls’ Day” was more accepted by the majority of girls.

Xu Wen also chose the night of March 7th to give the gift to Gu Xingruo.

When the young lady first saw the gift, her surprise was beyond words.

She couldn’t wait to ask Xu Wen to help her put it on. After he put it on, she picked up the small mirror she carried with her and kept admiring it.

Gu Xingruo already had the necklace that Xu Wen gave her last time around her neck.

Plus, the magic wand seemed a bit cumbersome, but she was reluctant to take it off.

“I will definitely wear it every day!” Gu Xingruo couldn’t put down the gift she had just received.

She said that the small magic wand in her hand was just like the transformation device in cartoons. She always wore it, and maybe one day she could transform into a magical girl.

“Wearing both together?” Xu Wen teased.

After the surprise, Gu Xingruo realized that the thing she wore around her neck was indeed a bit cumbersome, making a jingling sound.

But she still insisted: “Yes, I wear them all!”

The two of them had only been together for a short time, and Xu Wen had given her very few things, so she cherished every one of them.

“Then when I send you more and more things in the future, won’t your neck be full of things?” Xu Wen stretched out his hand and gestured, roughly describing the scene.

“I remember there seemed to be a nation called the ‘Long Neck Tribe’. They would add a layer of copper rings around their necks every year starting from the age of five. How many do I have?” Gu Xingruo stroked the two necklaces around her neck.

Having said that, she still asked Xu Wen to help her take off the necklace, leaving only the magic wand she had just received.

When she turned her back to me, she whispered, “Actually, you don’t have to give me a gift today. Of course, I’m very happy to receive a gift!”

Gu Xingruo stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of her: “From now on, we will only celebrate two holidays a year, birthdays and Valentine’s Day. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be tiring to think about what to give each other every day?”

“I prefer small surprises in daily life. For example, if you see something somewhere and think I might like it, so you buy it for me. I will feel that you are always thinking about me, and this makes me happier than any gift.” She said slowly.

After saying this, Gu Xingruo felt extremely happy.

It’s not enough to just express your feelings successfully, you also have to learn how to manage your relationship.

She knew that boys were afraid of trouble, and helping them avoid unnecessary trouble was the secret to a long-lasting relationship.

Although Xia Ning has become a thing of the past.

But she was still competing silently in her heart, that scheming woman would definitely not be able to do the same as her!
Xu Wen helped Gu Xingruo take off her necklace and then helped her tidy up her hair.

Seeing how she couldn’t let go of the gift he had just given her, he knew that these words were said entirely for his own good.

“What about Chinese Valentine’s Day?” Xu Wen began to tease her deliberately.

After hearing this, Gu Xingruo thought about it for a moment.

The Chinese Valentine’s Day is also a very romantic festival. The stories of “the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl” and “meeting on the magpie bridge” are very exciting just by hearing them.

She hesitated again and again, and finally held up another finger: “Then let’s add another Chinese Valentine’s Day. Three festivals are enough.”

“What about Christmas?” Xu Wen pressed on.

After hearing this, Gu Xingruo hesitated again.

Although Christmas is not their holiday, the atmosphere on the streets was very good that night, and it would have been even more romantic if it had snowed.

This picture suddenly appeared in her mind.

The two danced under the street lights in the heavy snow. There was no one around them, and “Merry Christmas” was playing on the speakers of the nearby shop.

But to realize this idea, they have to go back to her hometown together. It hasn’t snowed in Linjiang for a long time.

Then she would invite Xu Wen to go back with her and take him to eat all the delicious food she had eaten when she was a child.
Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Xingruo’s mouth rose slightly.

She quickly realized that she had gone off topic, and she coughed and decided, “We can celebrate the festival together and go out together, but don’t think about giving each other gifts.”

Xu Wen still didn’t give up and continued to tease the eldest lady.

He then mentioned several important festivals, including New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Eve, and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Gu Xingruo didn’t even think about it and said on the spot that they would only celebrate three festivals.

Valentine’s Day, birthday, Chinese Valentine’s Day.

We can celebrate the rest of the holidays together, but don’t mention gifts, as that would be so tiring.

Later, Gu Xingruo also realized that Xu Wen was teasing her on purpose.

Then he used his true feelings: “The gift is not important, I just want to be with you forever, so no matter what you give me, or whether you give me anything or not, I still like you.”

Xu Wen finally stopped joking.

The two looked at each other quietly, the friendship in their eyes completely overflowing.

They quickly stuck together.

Fortunately, that relative was visiting Gu Xingruo’s home, otherwise something that everyone would like to see would happen soon.

After that, I had a great time doing that.

Gu Xingruo felt very sorry, but she had no choice but to give up.

In other words, the eldest daughter is still too naive, otherwise she would know that when relatives come, there are certainly ways to have fun.

After Girls’ Day comes the official Women’s Day.

Xu Wen drove home early after class. Of course he had to cook himself for such an important holiday.

Besides him and a pile of food in the car, there was Gu Xingruo, who looked a little nervous, and a bunch of gifts she brought.

When Xu Wen drove into the residential area, Gu Xingruo’s nails almost made crescents on the seat.

In the rearview mirror, she checked to see if her lipstick was smudged for the umpteenth time.

Her fingertips stroked the golden magic wand pendant around her neck, as if she was touching some kind of amulet.

Gu Xingruo suddenly remembered that when she was in high school, she always used tutoring as an excuse, saying that Xu Wen was just giving her extra lessons, which was so open and aboveboard.

But now he has to come to the door as the culprit of “stealing someone else’s son”.

This made her feel as if her crime had been exposed.

“It’s not like you haven’t seen it before. Why are you so nervous?” Xu Wen took the initiative to comfort her.

From the moment she got in the car, Gu Xingruo seemed a little nervous.

He hadn’t taken it seriously at first, but the closer she got to his house, the more nervous she seemed to become.

Gu Xingruo first swallowed her saliva, then picked up the water bottle next to her and took a sip, then she said somewhat unnaturally: “This time is different.”

Xu Wen patiently comforted: “Why is it different?”

Gu Xingruo took a deep breath and said, “Before, I was your classmate, but this time I am your girlfriend, and I am meeting your future mother-in-law.”

She thought she wouldn’t be nervous.

Just like Xu Wen said, it’s not like they haven’t met before. The two have met many times.

But the closer she got to his house, the more nervous she became.

Her usual indifference to family and relatives became her weak spot at this moment.

She was afraid that she might not do something right and leave a bad impression on her future mother-in-law, who would think that she was an uneducated person.

Gu Xingruo felt that she might have a little inferiority complex deep down in her heart.

Although Xu Wen’s family is not a complete family, he has a mother who loves him and has supported his growth all the way. This is the nourishment of family affection.

But she was not very interested in family matters. She had a shallow family bond and only felt a moment of warmth from her grandfather when she was a child.

Now she is about to meet a loving family, and she can’t help feeling a little nervous.

Gu Xingruo felt that her thoughts were particularly awkward, but she didn’t know how to solve it. Perhaps she could only leave it to time.

Xu Wen stretched out a hand, gently placed it on the eldest lady’s hand, and completely wrapped Gu Xingruo’s small hand with his big hand.

He whispered, “Don’t be nervous, everything is still the same as before.”

Gu Xingruo, who had just fallen into an emotional whirlpool, was pulled back by this warmth.

Although she was still a little nervous, she felt like she was not that nervous anymore.

Her eyes glanced at the back seat of the car, where the gift she brought was placed. She hoped that Xu Wen’s mother would like it.

How does the saying go? An ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later.

Besides, she is not ugly.

Gu Xingruo looked at herself in the rearview mirror and became unconsciously conceited and confident.

She secretly wondered how there could be such a beautiful woman like her in the world?

After Xu Wen parked the car in the parking space downstairs, she finally adjusted her mentality.

Gu Xingruo opened the car door herself and went to get the gift on the back seat.

“Take less, I’ll carry it for you.” Xu Wen said with concern.

After hearing this, Gu Xingruo still tried to be strong. She picked up all the gifts, one by one on one finger. Her fingertips were turned white from being pinched.

After picking up her things, she started walking forward.

After taking a few steps, Xu Wen’s voice came from behind: “How did you walk? Your hands and feet are the same.”

Gu Xingruo looked down at herself and found that it was indeed the case.

It seems that it is still not adjusted properly.

But no matter whether she has adjusted herself or not, today she will face Xu Wen’s mother as his girlfriend.

Gu Xingruo took a deep breath, and the marks on her fingertips became a little deeper.

She looked at the residential building in front of her. The Spring Festival couplets that had just been posted at the entrance of the corridor a year ago were gently lifted up in the spring breeze.

“Hurry, hurry, I’ll press the elevator button and let’s go up quickly. I can’t carry it anymore!” Gu Xingruo had to quickly change the subject.

She jogged forward a few steps, at least this time she wasn’t moving her hands and feet at the same time.

In the elevator, she made final mental preparations.

Unfortunately, the fifth floor was too low, and before she could react, the elevator arrived, so she had to carry her things and walk out again.

Along with Xu Wen’s “dong dong” knock on the door, hurried footsteps were heard from behind the door.

Dai Guizhen’s apron was still stained with flour. When she saw Gu Xingruo, her eyes lit up instantly: “Oh, little Gu is here! Come in, come in. Why are you carrying so many things?”

“Ah, happy holidays, Auntie!” Gu Xingruo’s voice had a slight tremor, and she held the gift bag to her chest with both hands, like a primary school student handing in homework.

The La Mer box was faintly visible in the plastic bag, next to which was a box of beautifully packaged donkey-hide gelatin cake.

Xu Wen took a step forward, put the food on the ground, and then took the gift.

Gu Xingruo looked up cautiously.

Dai Guizhen also looked at her kindly.

It doesn’t seem as scary as imagined?
