Chapter 1018: Gu Zi’s Father
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the days that followed, Gu Zi spent her time doing absolutely nothing—a perfect kind of “slacking off,” as she called it. She indulged herself in several days of sheer rest, her mind and body gradually returning to their full strength.
In fact, Gu Zi found herself quite enjoying it,nvinced that occasional bouts of idleness were necessary to recharge and press forward with more energy.
Su Shen, however, grewncerned about her sudden shift intomplete stillness. She had always been busy, working tirelessly, but now, with the exams behind her, Gu Zi had nothing to occupy her time.
Afraid that she might feel restless, Su Shen pondered for a while, before recalling anversation with Jin Long, who had suggested, “Women love to shop. Youuld take Gu Zi out for a little shopping spree.”
The suggestion made immediate sense to Su Shen. He agreed wholeheartedly with Jin Long, realizing that Gu Zi’s wardrobe was perhaps not as extensive as ituld be. So, he drove back home, picked her up, and took her out.
Gu Zi, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at him innfusion. “You suddenly came home to pick me up, but where are we going? Why aren’t the kidsming along?” she asked.
Su Shen started the engine, the car smoothly gliding toward the city center. He glanced at her briefly and said, “I remember that you haven’t bought any new clothes for this summer. Since I have some free time today, I thought I’d take you to pick something out.”
The group of boys froze, visibly taken aback by his sharp tone and imposing presence. Realizing their mistake, they scrambled to apologize. “S-sorry, sir! We didn’t mean anything bad, we really didn’t. Please don’t be upset.”
With that, they hastily turned away, muttering to each other as they left. “I told you guys you didn’t have the right instincts. That guy must be Gu Zi’s dad, not her brother! We totally messed up!”
“Wait… if that’s her dad, he’s so young! And kind of intimidating. He’s evenoler than Gu Zi herself. Yikes…”
Su Shen’s brow furrowed deeply, his thoughts swirling. Was he really so old? Did he really look like Gu Zi’s father? Heuldn’t help but glance at his reflection in the store’s mirror, inspecting his face more closely than he ever had before. Had he really aged that much? Could he really pass for her father?
