Su Yuze never expected to witness such a scene. She was trying on underwear, right? Why didn't she close the door while doing so?!
Su Rou was adjusting her peach-colored underwear when, out of the blue, she caught sight of an unexpected guest in the mirror. She instinctively covered her chest. "Brother Ze... Why are you back so early?"
Su Yuze snapped back to his senses slightly and unconsciously swallowed hard. It seemed that his little Rou'er had developed quite nicely. He forced himself to look away, trying not to stare at the deep cleavage that became more prominent as she covered her chest. "Erm, get dressed first. I'll wait for you downstairs," he said, then closed the bedroom door for her.
Su Rou felt her ears burning. She stared at the closed door for a while before finally lowering her hands. Actually, her long hair had completely covered her back, so Su Yuze couldn't see it. But he could see her front in the mirror!
She was annoyed at her own carelessness. But then she thought, Brother Ze still talked to her in such a normal tone. Did that mean he didn't find her figure attractive? Su Rou looked down at the underwear she had bought disappointedly. The peach color did complement her skin tone, but it wasn't sexy at all. Girls always wanted to appear more mature in front of the people they liked.
"Is it really too small..." Su Rou squeezed her chest hard. Did Brother Ze like women with big breasts?
Oh, what was she thinking! Su Rou rolled her eyes at herself, then quickly took off the underwear and put on her clothes.
Meanwhile, Su Yuze, who had closed the door, stood there for a while before slowly taking a step. It was obvious that he walked rather stiffly. Girls grow up, and he really shouldn't just barge into her room like this!
But, he had to admit, little Rou'er had a really nice figure!
Su Yuze sat on the sofa, reading the newspaper in an attempt to suppress the image he had just seen. But the more he tried, the clearer the picture became in his mind!
After a while, Su Rou slowly made her way downstairs. With her head down, she awkwardly sat on the sofa opposite Su Yuze.
"Brother Ze, what's up?" Su Rou asked in a low voice, her head down as she played with her phone.
Su Yuze put down the newspaper and looked at her lowered head. "There's only one month left until the college entrance exam. I'd like to know your thoughts."
"What thoughts..."
"Where do you want to go to college?" Su Yuze said calmly. "It's better to choose a city nearby. It's closer to home." Most importantly, he didn't want Su Rou to be too far away from him. It would be difficult to take care of her.
Su Rou looked up at him. "If..." She let out a soft breath. What if she said she wanted to go abroad? Would Brother Ze kill her?
"Hmm?" Su Yuze raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw her hesitation. "Go ahead."
"What if I want to go abroad?" Su Rou asked.
"No way!" Su Yuze refused without hesitation. "Going abroad is not allowed." If she went abroad to study, she wouldn't come back until the winter or summer holidays. How could he take care of her then?
Su Rou pouted. She knew that would be his answer. Although she didn't really want to go abroad either, but... Su Yuze's face darkened when he saw her not saying a word. "So, you really want to go abroad to study?"
"Ah, no." Su Rou waved her hand. "I don't really want to go abroad either." She knew Brother Ze wouldn't allow it, so she had already submitted her application.
Su Yuze stared into her eyes. "Really?"
"Yeah."
"Then where do you want to go?" Su Yuze asked. "I can help you choose."
Su Rou thought for a while. "But I don't know yet."
"Then I'll choose for you."
"No." Su Rou quickly refused. "No need. I'll start thinking about it seriously now. I'll choose by myself."
Su Yuze raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He was used to making decisions for Su Rou. He didn't expect that this time she wanted to make her own decision! Su Yuze faintly curled his lips. "Okay, choose by yourself. Remember to choose a place close to City T." That was his bottom line!
"Okay."
...
Half a month before the college entrance exam, Su Rongqi called Su Yuze and Su Rou to the Su family's old mansion. "Little Rou, the college entrance exam is coming soon. Do you have confidence?"
"Um... I don't know." Su Rou honestly shook her head. She had no idea what kind of inhumane questions would be on the college entrance exam. Of course, she didn't have full confidence.
"You don't know? That means you're confident, right?" Su Rongqi naturally assumed that she was being modest. "What about Meimei?"
Su Meimei was painting her nails. When she heard Su Rongqi asking her, she said without thinking, "What are you afraid of? It doesn't matter if I don't take the college entrance exam!"
"Nonsense!" Su Rongqi immediately frowned. He was a traditional old man who believed that studying was the key to staying ahead in society in the future. And that was indeed the case. Hearing Su Meimei's words, he got angry. "If you don't take the college entrance exam, then why are you even in high school!"
Liu Rulan was startled by the angry old man. She quickly took away Su Meimei's nail polish. "Dad, Meimei was just joking! Don't take it seriously!"
Su Meimei then stood up properly. "Grandpa... I'll take the college entrance exam."
Su Rongqi then grunted in satisfaction. "That's more like it!"
"Dad, don't put too much pressure on the kids," Su Kaiming said on behalf of his daughter.
Su Rongqi naturally knew not to put too much pressure on the kids, but he just couldn't help it when he heard what Su Meimei said. Now that Su Kaiming gave him an excuse, he took it and started asking about Su Hongyu and Su Ziqi's recent situations.
"Little Rou, is your college entrance exam coming soon?" Su Ziqi managed to escape from the old master's nagging and secretly ran to Su Rou.
"Yeah, it is."
Su Ziqi couldn't help but sigh. Time really flew by. The little girl who had just entered high school had now grown into a young woman. "Then... Good luck!"
"Okay."
Su Yuze walked out of the kitchen and saw Su Ziqi sitting next to Su Rou, chatting happily. Su Yuze's eyes flickered slightly, then he walked over casually and sat next to Su Rou. "Little Rou'er, Grandpa's mansion has a new chef. You have to order your own food if you want something."
"Ah?" Without a word, Su Rou got up and walked towards the kitchen. Why didn't they tell her earlier that the chef had changed?
Su Yuze looked at Su Ziqi. "Ziqi, to be honest, I don't like you getting too close to little Rou'er."
Su Ziqi was stunned. "Why..." Su Yuze's aura was so strong that it was easy to make people feel intimidated.
"Don't have any inappropriate thoughts. Absolutely not!" Su Yuze said calmly. "Grandpa is calling you. Go."
Su Ziqi took two steps back. Did Brother Yuze know something?
