After completing the formalities, Gu Qing immediately called a lock-changing service.

After changing the lock, Gu Qing gave Su Xiyue and Su Changqin each a key.

"How about we take a stroll around Jinan University while we're at it?"

After changing the lock, Su Changqin looked at Gu Qing and made another suggestion.

For those about to enter university, being able to tour the campus beforehand can be a great experience.

But Gu Qing shook her head and refused.

"It's too hot now, let's wait for another opportunity!" Gu Qing said.

Su Changqin didn't insist on it, as she had long since realized that Gu Qing was different from other boys.

After finalizing the rental arrangements, the family of four went to a nearby supermarket to buy household supplies.

The refrigerator naturally needs to be fully stocked, along with some personal hygiene products.

Of course, it's impossible to buy everything at once; there will always be omissions.

But there's no rush. We can fill in the gaps gradually in our daily lives.

After returning to their rented room, the group tidied up their belongings again.

Then, Su Changqin, carrying some fruit she had just bought from the supermarket, knocked on the door of the room next door.

This building has a layout of two households per floor, so Gu Qing and Su Xiyue only have one neighbor.

Xiao Wang had done a simple investigation of this family beforehand. The woman was an attending physician at a nearby top-tier hospital, and her husband was a full-time stay-at-home dad.

After the door to the next room opened, Su Changqin brought over some fruit and politely explained the situation.

The gist of it is that my two children are going to university in Nanjing and will be living next door to you for four years. Please take good care of them in the future.

Then he subtly revealed some of his identity and status, making the other party take him more seriously.

Although Su Changqin was working in Luocheng.

But those who can sit in his position have complex and intertwined relationships behind them.

He also wields considerable influence in Jinling.

The househusband next door, surnamed Liu, also sensed something and became very enthusiastic.

After recognizing Gu Qing and Su Xiyue, they kept praising the boy for being pretty and the girl for being handsome.

Upon learning that Gu Qing had been admitted to Jinling University, he quickly added that his good friend was the logistics director of Jinling University, and that he could contact him if needed.

They're just polite words anyway, so there's no need to take them completely seriously.

Later that evening, the family of four cooked a meal in their newly rented house.

Gu Qing prepared a few simple dishes, adding some life to their new home for the next four years.

During the meal, Su Changqin said sadly, "I won't be able to eat Qingqing's cooking every day anymore."

"Children always have to grow up, and besides, is my cooking not good?" Gu Yuan said coquettishly.

Su Changqin dared not utter a single word of dissent.

While eating, Su Xiyue fantasized about her sweet cohabitation life with Gu Qing in the future.

After dinner, the family returned to the hotel instead of staying in their rented room.

Because tomorrow, Su Changqin's older sister, Aunt Su, will be hosting a banquet for their family at her home, and the hotel is closer to them.

……

Noon the next day.

Aunt Su, accompanied by her daughter Su Jinglan, personally came to the hotel to welcome the family of four.

"Gu Qing, Xi Yue, long time no see!" Su Jinglan greeted them with a smile.

Compared to their first meeting, Su Jinglan was less greasy and more composed.

It's possible that she's been spending a lot of time with Aunt Su lately, which has exposed her to things in society and broadened her horizons.

"Hello, cousin."

Gu Qing and Su Xiyue also responded.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two cars set off for Aunt Su's house.

Aunt Su's home is in an upscale residential area, which is closer to the city center.

The family prepared the meal well in advance.

Aunt Su's husband is an average-looking middle-aged man who wears glasses, but has a very refined air.

I heard Su Changqin mention that the other party didn't seem to come from an ordinary family.

In business, Aunt Su's husband provided her with considerable assistance.

Gu Qing and Su Xiyue, the two younger members, received another gift upon meeting.

After the meal began, Aunt Su first mentioned Gu Qing and Su Xiyue, and said that they should come to visit her more often when they had time, in order to express her closeness.

After we had eaten most of the food, we started talking about serious business with Su Changqin.

They were to visit one of Su Changqin's former superiors in Nanjing tonight; this had been arranged long ago.

Seemingly afraid that Gu Qing and Su Xiyue would be neglected, Su Jinglan kept trying to find topics to talk about.

He even shared his own experience from military training in college, telling the two what preparations they needed to make in advance.

Gu Qing reacted indifferently, while Su Xiyue seemed quite interested.

"I think Gu Qing, you could try joining the student union if you want to pursue a career in the civil service," Su Jinglan suggested.

"I will consider it," Gu Qing replied.

He didn't really have any concrete ideas about what the future held, only a vague general direction.

The public roads are also in this direction.

But whether or not to embark on that path, Gu Qing felt there was no rush to make a decision.

He has several years to think about what he really wants.

Moreover, plans never keep up with changes.

As for the student council, let's forget about it.

Gu Qing had joined in college in her previous life, but she really had no interest in it.

"In addition, there are many interesting clubs at the university, so I joined the photography club," Su Jinglan added.

"I know that, but I haven't decided which club to join yet!"

As Su Xiyue spoke, she glanced at Gu Qing again.

She was actually quite interested in clubs.

But her main concern was whether club activities would interfere with the time she could spend alone with Gu Qing.

So I'll make plans after school starts.

"Gu Qing, what are your thoughts?" Su Xiyue asked.

"Not at the moment," Gu Qing replied.

Actually, he had some ideas, such as if the university had a fishing club or something.

However, he found it difficult to speak to Su Xiyue.

The reason is simple: during the last fishing trip at the resort, this experienced "professional angler" was mercilessly beaten by Su Xiyue, a novice.

Thinking of the fish basket floating in the sky, Gu Qing felt that she and the fish in the water were somewhat incompatible.

100. Topics among peers

After lunch, the two families formed two small groups according to their seniority and started chatting separately.

Su Changqin and Aunt Su discussed business matters for the evening.

Su Jinglan's cousin originally intended to take Gu Qing and Su Xiyue out for a stroll, but considering that the temperature was too high, she gave up on the idea.

However, he still pulled Su Xiyue aside and talked a lot about university life.

Such as people in the dormitory, teachers in class, and class counselors.

He would occasionally tell some interesting stories.

The boastful talk and grand pronouncements of their first meeting were completely gone.

It's clear that Aunt Su's education was quite effective and timely.

Of course, it could also be thanks to that uncle who seemed to have an extraordinary air about him.

Later that evening, Su Changqin began making phone calls.

The original plan was for Uncle and Gu Yuan to take the three younger relatives out for a nice dinner that evening.
