Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

Monday morning was sunny and the temperature was pleasant.

In the huge classroom, Chen Tao sat by the window. As the basic principles of Marxism were explained, he drew his impression of Ruan Guan on paper.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, he closed his notes, which contained no knowledge, stood up and prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat.

The cute girl sitting next to him, who had learned from Tan Xiaojing that he was not her boyfriend but just his best friend, still asked with some reluctance, "Shiyong, do you really have a girlfriend?"

Chen Tao always accepts everyone who comes to him, but he also needs to be careful about the method and approach. For this girl who seems to be the type who is persistent, he has to keep rejecting her.

In the end, she felt that she was taking advantage of being able to communicate closely with Chen Tao, and even if nothing came of it, she would still have made a lot of money.

Therefore, Chen Tao did not directly give her the nice guy card, but instead showed his loyalty:

"Yes, I have a girlfriend and I love her very much."

After saying this, he turned around and walked away without any hesitation, but his pace slowed down a bit.

Seeing this, the girl really chased after him.

Since Chen Tao can be Tan Xiaojing's male best friend, why can't he be hers?
Which girl wouldn’t like this kind of handsome guy who is “fresh and cute” (commented by Zheng Wei and others)?

You can't just give up without trying, right? Just be ordinary friends first and wait patiently for the opportunity. There is still a long time to go, and you may get what you want.

After having lunch with his female classmate, Chen Tao returned to the dormitory for a nap as usual.

My roommates are all very nice and don't make any noise.

In addition, they are very concerned about the hygiene of the dormitory and clean it at least once every two days.

It is in stark contrast to the dormitory where the male protagonist Chen Xiaozheng lives.

Of course, Chen Xiaozheng himself is a clean person, but his roommates, such as Zhang Kai, who had a crush on Ruan Guan until her death and dared to confess his love, are not very cooperative.

They smoked and littered everywhere, turning the dormitory into a doghouse filled with garbage.

After waking up, Chen Tao naturally went to class again.

He didn't skip classes, and he didn't plan to drop out of school.

After all, he had tried everything, but studying hard in school as a serious student was a rare thing in his long career.

Dealing with people in society is not as interesting as dealing with students.

Student Yang tore off a page of paper, wrote a few words on it, and then handed it to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao took it and looked at it, and saw that the girl had written:
Shiyong, I heard from Tan Xiaojing that your girlfriend is in Jinling? We are so far apart, do you miss her?

Chen Tao thought about it, and under the gaze of classmate Yang, replied: Listen attentively.

"You were chatting with me during lunch, how come you turned around and became so cold? You are so fickle!"

Student Yang pouted.

I'm not afraid of quarrels or noises, I'm just afraid of people refusing to talk.

But the less he responded, the more interested she became.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

During these few days, Chen Tao has become a frequent visitor to the publishing house, and his friendship with Editor-in-Chief Fu has become increasingly close.

With the help of Editor-in-Chief Fu, his novel has passed review and officially entered the publishing process.

The exquisite cover, illustrations, and promotional posters were all taken care of by Chen Tao.

This is actually not a big deal. After all, studying architectural design also requires a solid foundation in art.

It's not surprising that Chen Tao is good at painting.

The strange thing is that his painting style and the characters' clothing styles do not quite match the current popular styles, but they give people a sense of aesthetic pleasure.

To this end, Chen Tao designed several summer clothes for Editor-in-Chief Fu.

Editor-in-Chief Fu pointed at the two-dimensional self on the drawing paper... wearing a short skirt, and said with a blush:
"Shiyong, isn't this skirt a little short? I feel like if I'm not careful, I might expose myself."

Chen Tao had a serious expression and spoke sweet words seriously:

"During the design stage, the main consideration is the style and pattern. The length can be adjusted according to your own preferences. For example, the color of stockings. For you, black is seductive, while white is pure. You are so beautiful that you will look beautiful in any outfit."

When Editor-in-Chief Fu heard this, he laughed so hard that his body shook with laughter.

Light is bent by gravity.

So Chen Tao's attention was also attracted by the giant black hole.

From the looks of it, it can be seen that Editor-in-Chief Fu is no less powerful than his girlfriend.

That’s right, Ruan Guan was also a great hero.

Otherwise, Zheng Wei wouldn't have thought she was stupid when they first met.

Editor-in-Chief Fu's skin is whiter than Ruan Guan's, with a rosy complexion and a more charming temperament. Unfortunately, her husband died young, leaving behind only a three-year-old adorable son.

His name seems to be Tian Wenjing, of course he has changed his surname to Fu now.

Seeing that the little puppy couldn't help but peek at him, Editor-in-Chief Fu was proud but also a little shy, so he pretended to be calm and asked:

"Shiyong, why are you looking at me like that?"

Chen Tao groaned, a little embarrassed but said honestly:

"You're beautiful, I like looking at you."

Editor-in-Chief Fu chuckled: "You are also very beautiful. There must be a lot of female classmates who like you, right? If I were your girlfriend, I would definitely be worried."

She also knew that the little puppy in front of her had a girlfriend and called her sister.

Chen Tao looked into her eyes and said hesitantly:
"I, I want..."

Editor Fu felt something was wrong and quickly interrupted, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You can be unfaithful and fall in love with someone else in novels, but not in real life."

Chen Tao said "oh" and lowered his head in disappointment.

Seeing this, Editor-in-Chief Fu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that he shouldn't have spoken so bluntly.

But it's better to say it, so as to avoid any trouble in the future and let down the little girl with a strange name.

After all, she had no resistance to this little puppy, and if she didn't step on the brakes in time, she might really make a mistake.

She doesn't plan to find a husband who is ten years younger than her, but she is willing to date him if Chen Tao doesn't have a girlfriend yet or they have broken up.

She is a proper woman!

The next day, Thursday, was also the last day of April.

noon.

In a box outside the school, Chen Tao met his adoptive parents.

While eating, Chen Tao talked about how he got a female classmate pregnant, and concluded:
"…This matter has been settled. From now on, I have nothing to do with her anymore. You don't have to worry too much."

Zhao's mother said with concern: "Don't drink when you meet with classmates in the future! And don't learn from your father and drink several times a day." Zhao's father retorted: "How can I drink several times a day? I almost vomited after so many social gatherings. I don't want to drink anymore, but I have no choice."

Zhao's mother rolled her eyes at him: "I'm talking to my son, do you have the right to speak? Go and eat your food."

Chen Tao refused, "You don't allow this and you don't agree to that, what else can I do? Every failure is a lesson learned. I have learned a lesson and I don't need to give up because of choking. These classmates are my future connections, so how can I not build good relationships with them?"

Refusal is not the goal, nor is it necessary to drink, but it is to maintain confrontation, let the two elders change, and let them gradually get used to not being able to control their son.

If you don’t do this, it will be troublesome later.

The two elders haven't realized this yet.

Father Zhao agreed, "That's right. More friends mean more options. Just drink less at parties in the future."

Chen Tao hummed, picked up a piece of fish maw and put it in his bowl, saying apologetically:

"Dad, it was my fault last time, don't take it to heart."

Logically speaking, he should have followed up on these words with a promise that there wouldn't be a next time.

But he didn't say it, because the next conflict would definitely break out.

After all, in the eyes of the two elders, Ruan Guan is not worthy of the Zhao family, and they would definitely not agree to her being the daughter-in-law.

Father Zhao glanced at his wife and said with some emotion: "Forget it, I didn't have a good attitude that day."

After saying that, he picked up the fish belly and ate it.

Mother Zhao showed satisfaction and asked:
"Shiyong, there are three days off for May Day. Are you really not going home?"

Chen Tao said firmly: "Not only will I not go home during the May Day holiday, I won't go home during the summer vacation either! I want to go out and travel to broaden my horizons."

Zhao's mother was unhappy: "You have never been far away, I am worried. If you really want to travel, I will go with you."

Chen Tao said bluntly: "You still think I'm a child? I've made my female classmate pregnant, am I still a child? Oh, I understand. I'm not financially independent yet and I still have to rely on you, so I have to be under your control, right? Okay, from now on, I don't want a penny. I want to see if I can survive without you!"

Mother Zhao was stunned for a moment. She felt that her son was so strange and was not the good boy he used to be.

Father Zhao said angrily, "Shiyong, your mother is just concerned about you. If you don't appreciate it, forget it. Why do you say such things?"

Mother Zhao was wiping her tears, just like a certain Teacher Song.

But Chen Tao is not Yingzi, he will not be soft-hearted easily, he continued to be tough:
"I'm an adult now! You can give me suggestions on what I want to do, but in the end it's up to me to decide whether to do it or not. If I want to travel, I must travel; if I don't want you to accompany me, I will definitely get rid of you."

Father Zhao wanted to overturn the table, but he forced himself to hold back.

Because he knew very well that even if he stood up for his wife, she would end up blaming him for being promiscuous and driving their son away in anger.

As expected, Zhao's mother took her son's arm and gently advised:

"Shiyong, don't be angry. Mom will listen to you. When you go out alone, take care of yourself and don't let Mom worry."

In the past, Zhao Shiyong would not dare to oppose his parents. Therefore, the two elders now don't know how to deal with this suddenly rebellious son.

Zhao's mother didn't want to blame her son, so she blamed the vixen.

If she hadn't deliberately seduced her, how could she have allowed her son to have a bad "growth"?
Chen Tao sighed softly, "A mother worries when her child is away from home. I understand you very well. But I have grown up and will soon start a family and leave you! When that time comes, what will you do? Will you still follow me?"

Mother Zhao said as a matter of course: "Even if you get married, you don't have to leave! If you don't want to live at home, your father has found a house not far from us. Your uncle Wang's daughter was also raised by your father and me since she was a child. She likes me very much and is willing to live with me."

That’s right, the two elders have arranged everything for their son.

In the original novel, before Zhao Shiyong married the woman who pleased Zhao's mother, he wanted to see Ruan Guan for the last time. However, Ruan Guan was injured by a stray bullet on the train, which was even more tragic than her death in a car accident in the movie.

Chen Tao laughed and said, "Mom, does this count as an arranged marriage? What would you do if I agreed to marry her but didn't want to have a child with her?"

Zhao's mother urged: "Yong, you are still young, you don't understand! I also know that you should be free to fall in love, but marriage is really a lifelong event, you can't just do it as you please!"

Chen Tao put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that some truths are doomed to fail to make sense. Okay, I won't talk anymore. I will take action! I will have another child before graduation. I don't believe that Uncle Wang will be willing to let his daughter be a stepmother by then."

"Zhao Shiyong!"

Mother Zhao said angrily, "You can't do this to your mother! I gave birth to you, raised you, and found a wife for you, all for your own good!"

"Well, you've been very good to me, so to repay you, please prepare to be a grandmother within a year!"

Having said that, Chen Tao stood up and prepared to leave the box, but was stopped by Zhao's father.

He first advised Chen Tao: "Shiyong, don't be angry! Your mother is really doing this for your own good."

He then advised his wife: "Zhiying, calm down. Shiyong is still young and it is far from the time for him to get married. Besides, the girl from the Wang family is just that good and is not worthy of our Shiyong."

After saying that, he blinked and signaled his wife to calm down and stop pushing him, lest she really become a grandmother.

Although he had never seen a vixen, he had seen the receipt from the hospital and the diagnosis sheet without his name, and he knew that his son had really grown up.

If you push him too far, he might become a grandfather early.

This is not okay.

Not every woman can be his daughter-in-law.

Therefore, we should focus on comforting and use subtle means at the same time. We cannot force the cow to drink water if it doesn't want to.

Zhao's mother understood and stopped pestering him, but she was still very angry, so she turned her head away and shed tears silently.

At this time, you must not take the initiative to admit your mistake like Yingzi did, or even hug your mother to comfort her.

Chen Tao pretended not to see it, reached out to take the West Lake beer and drank it himself.

A good meal, but ended unpleasantly.

In the afternoon, before parting, Zhao's father said:

"Shiyong, don't mess around. We can discuss anything. Your current task is to focus on studying."

Chen Tao pretended to be unhappy and said in a sarcastic tone:
"My marriage has been arranged, but my job is not? Do I have to graduate before I can start working? I really shouldn't be studying in such a good university! I should give my place to students with less favorable conditions so that they can change their fate."

Zhao's father defended himself: "You are wrong. A better education can take you further!"

Chen Tao snorted, "If you want to leave home, you have to shed some skin! If you want to go further, I'm afraid I'll have to give my bones back to my father and my flesh back to my mother!"

"..."

Father Zhao was speechless.

in the afternoon.

After two classes, Chen Tao carried his luggage and took the bus to the train station.

He has already bought a train ticket to Jinling.

The ticket price, including the one-yuan soft ticket fee, is eighty-seven yuan in total, and the bus departs at around 7:50 p.m.

As for when we will arrive, considering that we will have to stop at several stations along the way, the earliest we will arrive will be one or two o'clock in the morning.

After such a long journey, Chen Tao will certainly be exhausted physically and mentally, and Ruan Guan will have to comfort him. (End of this chapter)
