Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 531 The Commoner Teacher at the Noble Academy 46

“Youmi…” Zhuo Yi’s eyes reddened. He was the one who dragged people into this. It was his problem and selfishness from the beginning.

Even the potential hidden dangers, such as concealing the special recruitment status in the personnel file, were arranged by Zhuo Yi on his own initiative. Furthermore, the decision to have someone return to teach at Jiyu, half-guiding and half-coaxing, was also made by their family.

She shouldn't be held responsible for this at all.

"It's alright." Xia Youmi comforted Zhuo Yi, even though he was much more fragile than before.

The group fell into a brief silence as they each considered possible solutions.

Before any specific results were given, a cheerful knock was heard at the door.

“Knock, knock—”

"Don't worry, I'll handle this." Wei Youzhen took the initiative to take it on, meaning that she wouldn't try to get through Zhuo Yi and Zhuo Gao's network of connections, and Xia Youmi wouldn't have to think too much; she would solve it directly in her own way.

"Mm." Zhuo Gao agreed. He knew that the current situation was in the Guo family of Landu, which was Wei Youzhen's comfort zone and more inclined towards the inner quarters.

It would be more thorough for the wife to handle the rest.

This also served to achieve her goal of letting her daughter-in-law see more of the ways of a wife.

Once the matter was settled, Zhuo Gao didn't forget his youngest son, Zhuo Xuan, who was waiting outside the door. He opened the door to greet the familiar, chattering boy.

"What's going on! Are you eating alone without me? Why are you so slow?"

"whispering sound--"

"Look at the table, I don't even know if it's still warm, all just waiting for you. Don't change the subject, tell me what you've been up to!"

“How could it not keep warm? Mother never overlooks details,” Zhuo Xuan flattered. “Teacher Xia, you’ve worked so hard, having to deal with such a problem child after get off work.”

Showing respect to the two female elders in the family means that no one can criticize him without cause.

Zhuo Xuan is well-versed in the art of getting along with others.

"Haha, stop joking around, let's eat first!" Wei Youzhen said, and the atmosphere turned warm and cozy.

"Thank you."

“Eat more, everyone. How come you’ve all lost weight?” Wei Youzhen listed the recent changes one by one, but stopped when she saw Zhuo Gao. “You! Old Zhuo, are you not strict enough with yourself? What about your image management? How did you get fatter over the summer?”

"Haha." Zhuo Xuan laughed out loud.

"Hehe." Zhuo Yi didn't mince words.

Xia Youmi and Wei Youzhen exchanged a smile, understanding the reason behind it.

"Zhuo Xuan, stop messing around, big brother. You're like a wild monkey at home, jumping around all over the place, but you act all cool and mysterious outside. If you scare away some cute girls, you'll be the one crying."

Zhuo's mother looked at him with a disapproving expression, as if he was just being silly and laughing along with Zhuo Yi.

"Mom... I didn't act like a monkey, and I didn't pretend." Zhuo Xuan said, sounding a little aggrieved.

“Then you should get a proper girlfriend. Xiao Gu and Xiao Tan are both so busy, yet they still manage to find time for dates.” Wei Youzhen said, referring to the occasional singles social events organized by the other two families, which both of them attended.

Zhuo Xuan, however, avoided it at all costs.

This isn't some cannibalistic place; it's simply a space for young people within the core circle to connect.

“What kind of date is that!” Zhuo Xuan also revealed the secret. “Mom, you don’t know, Gu Cheng and Tan Yu are going to talk business with the female heirs inside. They arranged the time in advance, and the location was set at the social gathering to avoid nagging.”

"You're just betraying your brother like this?" Zhuo Yi coldly complained to his younger brother.

"They've already come right up to us..." Zhuo Xuan said with a serious face, "If they're brothers, they should be there to help when it matters!"

"Ah."

Zhuo Gao did not stop them; he and Wei Youzhen had also gone through a similar playful period when they were young.

It is also an essential part of building a child's complete growth.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, both understanding that they were actually helping to cover for each other. Everyone in Shan Xinxiao's project team knew that Zhuo Xuan was pursuing her.

Zhuo Xuan also frequently bombarded Zhuo Yi with questions about how he managed to win over his beloved sister-in-law.

Why did they settle down so easily while they were still in school?

I don't think my deviation value is too high. We're all in the same project group and were even in the same class. Teacher Xia doesn't say much when she sees this, and occasionally she even gives the younger generation some space.

His brothers will also help him.

Indeed, we have all the external support we need, and we seem to be on the same page in terms of our intentions.

They were just one breath away from breaking through the unseen barrier and coming together.

"Sigh." Zhuo Xuan's face suddenly fell, sinking into the vortex of failure. Although there were ready-made examples in front of her, Yi Ge successfully pursued Teacher Xia and was able to protect her inside and out, and also won in the struggle against his mother's ideology.

now,

They jointly maintained a stable situation.

However, he lacked confidence in involving his family before the relationship between the two had stabilized and matured.

Even though he had already coaxed Mingshan and Xinxiao to the building, it would have been easy to lure them up for a meeting. But Zhuoxuan still decided against letting her face a potentially embarrassing situation alone beforehand.

It's frustrating that I can't be fully prepared and the perfect opportunity I'm waiting for never comes.

Wei Youzhen looked at Zhuo Xuan with amusement, assuming that he was just envious of his brother and sister-in-law's good relationship, and that he was secretly regretting that he had wasted his time as he was about to enter his junior and senior years of college and would no longer have as much time to spend with people.

Zhuo Gao did notice something amiss.

But he didn't cause trouble for others; he waited for himself to figure it out.

Xia Youmi and Zhuo Yi, having grasped the situation, smiled without saying a word, their mindset being much the same as Zhuo Gao's.

“I think you should be content,” Wei Youzhen sighed. “You still have your steady brother to support you, so you can relax for a few years without having to rush into settling down. But I’m afraid you’ll miss out on your youth and regret it later, saying that life is so boring.”

"Waaah... Mom, am I that kind of person?"

"Yes!"

The remaining four people spoke in unison.

"This house, burp, I can't stay here anymore. I'm going to immerse myself in the project team and make something of myself!" Zhuo Xuan said, rubbing her belly as she prepared to slip away after finishing her meal.

"Go away, I won't keep you." Wei Youzhen pushed him out the door without a trace of reluctance.

Turning around, he said to his family members who were looking over, "It will take him another eight or nine years to mature."

"Six years."

"Four years."

"Two years."

They each shared their guesses, and before they knew it, they were making a bet.

At last,

It was Xia Youmi's successful prediction, based on a combination of observations from various sources, that led to his four-year prediction.

......

"Mom, I want to be with Xiaoxiao." Zhuo Xuan, who was twenty-four years old at the time, was dressed in a suit. Her attitude and tone when she spoke to her mother showed no wavering. It was all naked determination and maturity.

Wei Youzhen glanced at Xia Youmi for no apparent reason.

Ugh,

Unexpectedly, just four years later, his son was already at the point of getting married. He even brought people in with the attitude of defeating a demon king, his face full of a death wish.

"it is good."

"Eh?"

"Mom, aren't you going to stop her or something?"
