Other than the profile pic being a really pretty girl, there was basically no other info, just a blank account.

But there are way too many internet pics used as avatars, so it basically meant nothing.

However, judging from the only person she followed, she should be a fan of Teacher Zhang.

Come to think of it, Northeast Art College is right next door to the Agricultural Department.

See if he could fish something out of her.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Time quickly jumped to December 29th.

The day they were heading to Da Liang Mountain to do the rural charity livestream assigned by the Rural Affairs Department.

Since Old Song was the one driving them to the airport, Zhang Lingchuan smoothly made his way to Song Wanqing’s neighborhood.

"Morning~ Master Zhang~"

Just as he arrived downstairs, Song Wanqing came down to meet him.

"Huh, Comrade Xiao Song, why do you look like you didn’t sleep well? What’s up? Is the thesis too hard to write?"

Seeing Wanqing looking a bit tired, Zhang Lingchuan couldn’t help asking curiously.

"It’s fine, it’s fine, just had some stuff so I went to bed a bit late, that’s all. My thesis isn’t on your level, Master Zhang, but I can barely manage. I’m aiming for an excellent graduate this year."

Song Wanqing smiled, showing two little tiger teeth.

The real reason she was tired was that she’d been high-intensity beefing with that little southern girl recently.

Of course, this was definitely not something Song Wanqing was planning to tell Teacher Zhang.

After all, with a top-shelf target like Teacher Zhang—capable and good-looking—there were bound to be tons of people trying to latch on. If she couldn’t even handle a tiny love rival, how was she supposed to become the official girlfriend in the future!

So she felt she could handle it!

"Oh, oh, oh, you still need to go to bed earlier. Staying up late all the time isn’t good for your health. Maybe nothing now, but it adds up later."

Right then Zhang Lingchuan spoke to her with concern.

However, he had no idea that the "stuff" in Song Wanqing’s mouth was actually "Li Ziqing."

Speaking of which, Li Ziqing had come to see him on the second and fifth days after exams ended. Zhang Lingchuan congratulated her, she said she wanted to eat the beef noodles at his school, so he treated her a couple of times.

At the same time, afraid she’d get bored and start causing him trouble again, he kept talking her into entering more competitions, ideally grabbing some national awards before graduation or something.

She was only a freshman, but you gotta plan ahead!

He felt like she was actually taking it in.

And during their two chats, Li Ziqing never brought up anything about Song Wanqing.

Because just like Song Wanqing, Li Ziqing also felt she could handle this herself, something that should be settled in private between the two of them.

So she had no intention of being some brainless idiot and directly interrogating Senior Zhang about who this Xiaosong was.

She was confident she could make that 21-year-old "old auntie" quit on her own!!

...

On a highway in Chun City, inside a steadily cruising Mercedes.

"Dad, this time I’ll be over in Da Liang Mountain with Teacher Zhang for a whole week. We probably won’t be back till the 4th or 5th."

A voice came from the back seat; it was Song Wanqing.

"Mm, make sure you take good care of yourselves over there. After all, Da Liang Mountain is still a bit different from outside."

Old Song spoke up.

Ever since Xiaochuan started riding in this car, the passenger seat had stayed empty.

He felt a little chilled by that, but could only force himself to understand.

’Cause what else could he do if he didn’t understand!!

The way his daughter looked at Xiaochuan, her eyes were practically melting into the kid!!

So every time they went out, he had to pray that the young man would control himself and that they wouldn’t actually become a family of three next year...

But as an elder, he couldn’t just say that out loud.

Say it and sometimes they’d deliberately rebel; what could he do then? So all he could do was pray.

"Dad, you think that’s what I’m trying to say? What I mean is, if you want to take that Auntie somewhere for a few days, I won’t be around to see it anyway—feel free~"

Song Wanqing teased her old man.

She was now completely sure that her dad had an auntie outside. Same old line: as long as that person genuinely treated her dad well, she wouldn’t object.

"Uh, uh, uh..."

Old Song shot an annoyed look at the back seat.

As if he couldn’t tell what she was getting at!!

"Dad, so what’s this Auntie’s last name? Where does she live? What does she do, which work unit? Why don’t we all have a meal together?"

Song Wanqing fired off a string of questions, her face full of curiosity.

Since this was going to be Old Song’s partner, as his daughter she had to help her own dad do a little screening.

As for Zhang Lingchuan, he just quietly listened to the side.

After all, this was between father and daughter.

"Her last name’s Li. As for the rest, you can ask her yourself when you meet. We were actually planning to have a meal together on New Year’s Day, but you happened to be on a business trip with Xiaochuan, so we’ll pick another time after you’re back."

Hearing his daughter interrogate him like she was doing a census, Song Wenqing replied.

"Oh... last name Li, huh. Aunt Li, Aunt Li..."

Song Wanqing nodded, her expression looking a little thoughtful.

Now that she thought about it, that girl who’d been beefing with her on Douyin also had the last name Li! What a coincidence!

"Mm, she has a daughter too, about your age. You two can have a good chat when you meet. Honestly, we as parents really do hope to get our kids’ blessings."

After saying this, Old Song glanced at the rearview mirror. In the frame was his daughter leaning against Xiaochuan.

He stared for a long time before snapping out of it.

It really was about time to find a partner.

But how to put it... if his daughter didn’t like Peixia, if they couldn’t get their respective daughters’ blessings... then the two of them were basically doomed.
