Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 917: Chapter 917: This Gossip Came Back to Bite Me

She was actually sitting at the Zhao Family’s dining table, eating with everyone from the Zhao Family.

When it comes to new acquaintances, everyone is here.

Li Xiaoyun blinked, could the elderly lady be hinting for her to look here?

Li Xiaoyun was startled by her own thoughts!

She was really bold!

How could she think this way?

The elderly lady definitely didn’t mean that.

Even if there were no issues between families, it wouldn’t be so easy to immediately introduce her to the Zhao Family.

This idea is too down-to-earth!

Looking around the dining table, the ones around her age were Zhao Gushen and Zhao Guoxian.

Zhao Gushen is married, so definitely not him.

Could the elderly lady be hinting at Zhao Guoxian?

Impossible!

She must be overthinking it!

Li Xiaoyun thought silently.

She didn’t even consider Zhao Dingli.

He was an elder!

Even though Zhao Dingli said their age difference wasn’t significant, the generational difference was clear.

Zhao Dingli cared so much about age differences, Li Xiaoyun guessed that Zhao Dingli had no choice but to accept it in his family.

Generational differences were there, people called him Fourth Uncle, he had to acknowledge it.

But she had no connection with him, calling him Uncle at her age would be inappropriate.

As for the others, Li Xiaoyun hadn’t even thought about them.

Zhao Dingli noticed Li Xiaoyun’s uncertain gaze falling on Zhao Guoxian for several seconds before quickly looking away.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Could she really think the elderly lady wanted to pair her with Zhao Guoxian?

What kind of judgment!

Why didn’t she look at him?

It’s not like he liked her.

After all, they just met today.

He wasn’t the kind of person who falls in love at first sight.

He simply thought, he wasn’t that old either.

About the same age as her.

They were all young people, why did Li Xiaoyun only look at Zhao Guoxian and not at him?

What was inappropriate about him?

Anyway, the elderly lady had gathered all the key information she wanted to know.

Li Xiaoyun was single, no boyfriend.

She didn’t have a crush on anyone, and seemingly no one was pursuing her.

Thus, the elderly lady’s mind was eased, and she asked, "By the way, what do your parents do?"

"My dad is a high school teacher, my mom is a junior high teacher." Li Xiaoyun said.

"Both are teachers, huh?" The elderly lady nodded repeatedly, "That’s nice."

"So, during my elementary years, it was alright. In junior high, my mom was keeping an eye on me; she’s a junior high English teacher. In high school, my dad was watching over me; he’s a high school math teacher." Li Xiaoyun felt like her past was difficult to recount.

"I attended the schools where they worked during junior and senior high, so all the teachers were their colleagues. Whenever my grades dropped, any subject I wasn’t solid in, how I performed in class, when I seemed distracted—they knew it all."

"There’s an upside to this, though; my academic performance was steady, and there was no chance of slacking off." The elderly lady actually wanted to ask if she ever had a teenage romance.

The elderly lady had no ulterior motive, she was just curious.

As for Zhao Dingli, it was different.

He was very eager to know.

Thinking about the purest and most intense teenage love during school years, Zhao Dingli’s heart couldn’t help but itch and burn with restlessness.

Imagining that when Li Xiaoyun was in junior high school, he’d already graduated from college.

When Li Xiaoyun was in high school, he was already managing a company.

They couldn’t have met during those times.

Li Xiaoyun was so young; it was unknown who might have had the advantage then.

Zhao Dingli, considering this, asked softly, "You couldn’t have dated early, right?"

Li Xiaoyun blushed with embarrassment and said, "I..."

Li Xiaoyun was too shy to say, but Ye Fei had already figured out Zhao Dingli’s meaning.

She smiled and said, "Xiaoyun has been single since birth, always solo until now."

"She hasn’t been in a relationship." Ye Fei said.

Li Xiaoyun covertly extended her arm around the little one’s back to poke Ye Fei.

Lack of relationship experience isn’t really a good thing!

It’s quite embarrassing to say!

Li Xiaoyun could only explain, "During junior and senior high, my parents were around, all the teachers, school leaders were like spies, how could I dare to date?"

"At the time, my parents were watching my grades closely, and the academic pressure was huge, so there wasn’t any mental space for romance." Li Xiaoyun said, "Back then, I was known as the class nerd."

"No boys liked you at all?" Zhao Dingli asked again.

"I was a nerd; back when you were in school, what boy would like a nerd?" Li Xiaoyun retorted.

Zhao Dingli raised an eyebrow and lightly chuckled, "When I was in school, there were no nerds."

Li Xiaoyun recalled that they all attended Jixia Academy.

The little one had once briefed her about Jixia Academy.

There, being good at studying wasn’t enough.

One had to be quick-thinking; naturally, there were no nerds there.

"Moreover, everyone in school knew I was the teacher’s kid, who dared to like me?" Li Xiaoyun explained.

During that time, she was like a landmine in class, no one dared to touch her.

Even the ones slightly friendly with her would be seen as trying to win her favor, to curry favor with the teachers from Shuo City.

During school years, children’s malicious intentions weren’t insignificant at all.

"How about during college?" Zhao Dingli asked again.

Ye Fei watched beside him, thinking that Zhao Dingli was making his intentions too obvious!

Li Xiaoyun didn’t sense anything off, and said, "During college, I didn’t meet anyone I liked either."

She was too shy to mention she was into looks!

To be honest, during college, there weren’t many handsome ones in the entire school.

It’s not like a drama with campus heartthrobs ruling the entire school!

Even if there were handsome ones, they already had girlfriends.

Most started dating in high school anyway.

She lost at the starting line!

Ye Fei was happily watching Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun’s gossip.

Then she heard Zhao Gushen ask her, "Speaking of which, this reminds me."

Ye Fei looked at him suspiciously and heard Zhao Gushen ask, "I’ve never asked you before, did you date during school?"

Ye Fei: "..."

She never expected the gossip would come to her.

"Nope," Ye Fei said, "During junior and senior high, I was focused on studying well, getting scholarships and going to the school I wanted. In high school, I was determined to get out of Ye City."

"I knew my mom might not be willing to pay for my college fees, so I was determined to earn a college scholarship. At that time, the pressure was tremendous, but it was also a motivation, leaving no room for early romance."

"Furthermore, Ye Ning and I were in the same school, though a bit older, we were in the same place, very clear about each other’s happenings." Ye Fei explained.

"If I had truly dated early, she would definitely tell them."
