It should count as dating, right?
Anyway, Zhong Xun brought her breakfast every day, helped her get hot water during breaks, and did cleaning duty for her after school.
They also took the same route home. During PE class, they often ran together and threw shot put.
When she went to provincial team training, he would also take the initiative to send her there, then quietly leave.
At first, Suisui was confused. They had been desk mates for so long, why had he suddenly become like a different person?
Since she couldn’t figure it out, she simply chose to ask directly, “Zhong Xun, what are you doing?”
“I’m pursuing you. Can’t you tell?” The boy still looked cold and cool as usual, but the tips of his ears quietly turned red.
Suisui was like a startled deer, frozen in place.
That night, she barely ate a few bites before returning to her room.
Han Yunru and Jiang Da exchanged a glance, something wasn’t right!
Sweet and sour spare ribs, tomato scrambled eggs, and scallop vermicelli casserole were all her favorites, yet today she had only taken two bites.
Jiang Da: “Did the coach scold her again?”
Han Yunru: “That can’t be? Didn’t she just win gold in the selection competition not long ago?”
“Then that’s strange… Could she have been bullied at school?”
Han Yunru twitched her lips. “With Suisui’s strength, she could knock down boys, who would dare bully her?”
Jiang Da scratched his head awkwardly. “That’s true…”
Han Yunru stood up. “You keep eating, I’ll go take a look.”
Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan had already been abroad with their team for two months, and Niannian was also on the accompanying list. So during this time, it was Han Yunru and Jiang Da who came over to take care of Suisui.
Knock knock knock.
Han Yunru: “Sweetheart, may I come in?”
Suisui: “Grandma, please come in~”
“Why are you unhappy today? Did something happen at school?”
Suisui paused, a little troubled and a little uneasy. “Grandma, can I have an early romance?”
Han Yunru’s pupils shook. “Ea… early romance?! A male classmate likes you? He confessed to you?”
Suisui: “!” It’s over.
In less than half an hour, she received a cross-border call from Xie Dingyuan,
“Dad…” Suisui held the phone, cautious.
“You’re dating?” His tone was very calm.
But Suisui could hear the undercurrent beneath it and immediately denied it: “No!”
“Then why did you suddenly ask about early romance?”
“Well…” Suisui’s eyes darted.
“Tell the truth.”
“I think… I was confessed to?”
“Zhong Xun?”
Suisui was shocked. “Dad, how did you know?!”
Xie Dingyuan didn’t answer, only asked, “Do you like him?”
“…I don’t know. Can I like him?”
There was a long silence on the other end. “Liking and disliking are both your freedom. Even as parents, we can’t stop you. But Suisui, before making any decision, Dad hopes you think it through carefully and protect yourself.”
Suisui half understood.
What she didn’t know was that night, a certain father didn’t sleep at all.
Bitterness, anger, worry, finally all turned into calm.
The child had grown up. Sooner or later, this day would come.
For parents, growth is the process of watching their child gradually walk farther and farther away.
Even if reluctant, they must still let go.
In the second semester of their second year of high school, Suisui accepted Zhong Xun.
Speaking of which, there was even a bit of family relation between them, an entire generation apart!
Zhong Xun was adopted from a collateral branch into the main Zhong family and placed under Zhong Cheng.
Strictly speaking, he was of the same generation as Zhong Yunyi. Even Zhong Ziang had to call him “uncle,” while Suisui called Zhong Ziang “brother.”
This… was quite a mess.
Fortunately, Zhong Ziang was now the head of the Zhong family, and he had always been broad-minded.
The Xie family also knew Zhong Xun’s identity, but since Suisui liked him, no one fussed over it.
In their third year of high school, Suisui had fallen behind in academic subjects due to training. Zhong Xun helped her make up for it bit by bit, through countless days and nights of effort.
When the college entrance exam results came out, the two were admitted to Ming University together.
Zhong Xun even took first place in the entire exam!
At that time, Ming University was already ranked among the top three universities in the country, and its global ranking had even surpassed Q University and B University at one point, becoming the number one higher education institution in Asia!
Zhong Xun studied computer engineering and technology.
Suisui, through sports recruitment, was directly admitted to the School of Economics and Management to study finance.
In her sophomore year, Suisui performed outstandingly at the World Championships, winning gold medals in women’s singles, pairs, and ice dance, and, as expected, earned qualification for the Winter Olympics.
The following year, on February 20, the Winter Olympics opened in the capital of Country E.
That February could be called “Xie Ansui’s world”!
This girl, who had just turned twenty, danced gracefully on the ice. With her light figure and beautiful movements, she emerged like a dark horse, stunning the entire world!
Suisui swept three gold medals in women’s singles, pairs, and ice dance at that year’s Winter Olympics!
Her world ranking soared to number one!
And in the audience of every competition, the camera would always catch a handsome figure. He wore a T-shirt printed with a photo of the two of them, a baseball cap, and held a banner that read, “Suisui is the best! Go Suisui!”
During the live broadcast, viewers joked that he was a “crazy simp fan,” but after the internet dug deeper, they discovered he was actually Xie Ansui’s legitimate boyfriend!
Two years in high school, three years in university, they had already been in a relationship for five years!
Audience: The clown was actually me?
【No need to say more, country, you owe me a boyfriend】
【Reporting in as a Ming University student, these two are a famously fairy-like couple at our school!】
【By the way, what’s Xie Ansui’s background? This year figure skating suddenly produced such a stunning beauty, three gold medals, D*mn! I wouldn’t even dare dream of it!】
【Her boyfriend is also so handsome! Wearing Patek Philippe at such a young age, his family must be very rich】
【They’re both background figures. Don’t ask, just know they’re top-tier second generation!】
This completely ignited the internet’s curiosity.
In less than an hour, Suisui’s identity was uncovered, and soon after, Zhong Xun’s identity couldn’t be hidden either.
【Holy, she’s actually Professor Xie and Professor Jiang’s precious daughter! I was stunned!】
【No wonder she’s so beautiful. Both parents are stunning, it wouldn’t make sense for the daughter to be ugly. So envious】
【Parents serve the country through scientific research, daughter brings glory on the Olympic stage, what kind of upright and outstanding family is this?】
【So after Goddess Yue, we now have the Ice Queen, fans are crying! Showering flowers wildly~】
In the following five years, Suisui collected gold medals in the Figure Skating Grand Prix, World Championships, Four Continents Championships, and the Olympics, achieving a full Grand Slam!
She was hailed as “the number one figure skater in the world”!
During her final single-season ice dance event, Suisui made a mistake midway. Although she still won the gold medal as wished, she couldn’t even stand on the podium, because she was rushed to the hospital due to a fractured leg bone!
In the end, it was Jiang Fuyue who personally performed the surgery, preventing any lasting disability.
One year later, Suisui retired.
She became the first Grand Slam athlete in the history of Chinese figure skating and set the formidable record of winning gold in every competition she entered!
At her retirement farewell, she said: “…I thank my parents for giving me respect and understanding, investment and support on this path. I thank them even more for teaching me to love my country, to serve it, and to fight for it!”
In the audience, Zhong Xun gazed at the radiant Suisui. No matter how many years passed, she would always shine like a star in his eyes!
The man touched the ring box in his pocket, tightened his grip on the red roses in his hand, stood up, and walked step by step toward his girl…
(End of Suisui’s story)
Our Suisui has also found the knight who silently protects and accompanies her~
