Chapter 1181 Don't Make Things Difficult for the Child
As they approached Haidian District, Su Xing asked the elderly couple, "Grandpa, Grandma, He Xu has an apartment quite close to Peking University. Are you staying there with him, or...?"
Before Su Xing could finish speaking, Grandpa Su said, "Doesn't your school have a hotel? Why don't you book a room for us? We'd like to stroll around your school and eat in your cafeteria sometime."
Grandma Su also said, "Yes, yes, we live at your school, it's closer to you and easier to find you."
He Xu quickly added, "Actually, the apartment is very conveniently located near Peking University..."
The fact that the elderly couple from the Su family were being so distant made him feel a little uneasy...
Grandpa Su said, "No need, we'll stay at the hotel. We also want to experience the learning atmosphere of Peking University."
Because of the Cayenne that He Xu gave Su Xing, the elderly couple were already worried that their eldest granddaughter would feel inferior to him.
Now they are even less willing to live in He Xu's house. Even if He Xu has no other intentions, what will the He family think of the Su family if they find out?
They didn't want the He family to look down on their eldest granddaughter or make her suffer.
Su Xing roughly guessed what her grandparents were thinking. She gave He Xu a reassuring look, and then smiled at the old couple and said, "Okay, then you can stay at Peking University for the time being. I'll book a room for you at the Shaoyuan Hotel in a little while."
He Xu felt helpless and didn't dare to persuade her anymore. He said, "Alright, then I'll accompany Grandpa and Grandma to stroll around Beijing while Xiaoxing is in class these few days."
This time, the elderly couple from the Su family did not refuse again. They were afraid that if they were too cold, they would hurt He Xu's feelings and put their granddaughter in a difficult position.
Grandma Su said, "Okay."
Grandpa Su's tone was still somewhat polite, "Then I'll have to trouble Xiao He then."
He Xu said, "No trouble at all, it's nothing. Besides, I don't have much to do lately."
The car drove all the way to the vicinity of Kyoto University.
Su Xing found a parking space and parked the car.
The four people got off the car.
Su Xing and He Xu took the elderly couple's luggage and backpacks from the trunk.
After entering the school, the elderly couple looked around the school environment with curiosity.
Su Xing introduced the Peking University campus to them along the way.
Upon arriving at the Shaoyuan Hotel, after checking into their rooms, the group went upstairs.
After entering the room, Grandma Su looked around and said, "It's quite clean and spacious, very nice."
Grandpa Su nodded as well, "Not bad."
Then the old lady started opening the box and taking things out.
There are ham, cured meat, Jiujiang tea cakes, Huangshanghuang braised duck, hand-picked bamboo shoots, and small peach crisps, most of which are local specialty foods.
Besides the food, there was also a large box of tea, including black tea, green tea, and yellow tea, which were packaged in tea caddies.
As Grandma Su rummaged through the food, she told the young couple, "If you can't finish all this food, take it to your classmates or friends. Keep some of this tea for yourselves, and give the rest to your family, teachers, or friends."
When Su Xing looked around, she saw that the food she was eating was all her favorite, and the tea was all top-grade tea, much of which was made by her grandfather himself and was hard to find on the market.
Her eyes crinkled into a smile, and her voice was crisp and sweet, "Grandpa, Grandma~ You're so kind~"
He Xu also said, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. My grandfather and my mentor both really enjoy drinking our family's tea."
Grandpa Su narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "If you like it, that's good. Just let us know when you've finished it, and we'll mail you more. Our family may not have much else, but we have plenty of good tea."
Grandma Su smiled and said, "Yes, don't be so polite."
He Xu replied sincerely, "Okay, I won't stand on ceremony."
Seeing He Xu's attitude, the two elders of the Su family found him more agreeable.
Actually, when Grandma Su first met He Xu in H City, she was quite satisfied with the young man and thought her eldest granddaughter had good taste.
This was their second meeting, and she was already feeling uneasy about the Cayenne, which made her more wary and scrutinizing of him.
Together, the group sorted through the gifts brought by the elderly Su couple.
Su Xing planned to take some things back to the dormitory later, while He Xu would take the rest back to the apartment first.
Grandma Su cleared out a box and packed the young couple's things first.
If it didn't fit, I took two more large bags to put it in.
After tidying up their belongings, the elderly couple said they wanted to go downstairs to stroll around the Kyoto University campus.
Su Xing and He Xu accompanied the elderly couple downstairs.
The elderly Su couple wanted to know where their eldest granddaughter lived, so the young couple led them towards Su Xing's bedroom.
When they arrived at the dormitory building, the elderly couple looked up at it and were not very satisfied.
Grandma Su said, "This building... is a bit dilapidated..."
Su Xing laughed and said, "Most of the buildings on campus in Beijing are quite old, but our dormitory building is actually not bad."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Wait for me, I'll go upstairs and take the things up."
She came out of the Shaoyuan Hotel carrying a bag of local specialties.
Grandma Su said, "Go ahead, go ahead."
He Xu also said, "You go ahead, I'll accompany Grandpa and Grandma for a stroll around the neighborhood."
"Good~"
Su Xing carried her things and jogged into the dormitory building.
Family members are allowed to enter the dormitory building when new students start school.
At this time of year, bringing family members into the dormitory requires an application, and since this is a girls' dormitory, most students are wearing pajamas in the dormitory building after the heating is turned on, so it's inconvenient to bring people in.
So Su Xing didn't plan to take her grandparents up to visit her dormitory.
None of the girls in room 306 were in the room. Su Xing put down her things and prepared to leave.
She took her camera with her when she went downstairs.
Su Xing left the dormitory building and saw He Xu chatting with his grandparents not far away. She quickly walked over.
"I'm coming~"
Grandpa Su said, "That's pretty fast."
Su Xing smiled and said, "I've got the camera, so take some pictures of you, Grandpa and Grandma."
Grandma Su became interested, "Great! I can recognize your school just by taking a picture."
Su Xing agreed, "Okay!"
For the next two hours, the young couple accompanied the elderly couple on a tour of the Kyoto University campus, taking photos in front of iconic buildings such as the "One Tower, One Lake, One Library".
In addition to taking photos of the elderly couple, Su Xing also explained the origins and stories of the various scenic spots to them.
He Xu occasionally chimed in to add to the discussion.
The latter helped Su Xing take a group photo with his grandparents.
The elderly couple from the Su family had a very pleasant stroll.
They didn't stop their visit to Yenching Garden until it got dark and the lighting was no longer suitable for taking pictures.
He Xu said, "It's lunchtime, Grandpa and Grandma, let's go out to eat."
Grandma Su said, "Let's go to Xiaoxing Cafeteria to eat. Let's try the food at Peking University Cafeteria."
He Xu said, "You two shouldn't have your first meal in Beijing at the canteen. If you want to try it, you'll definitely have the chance in the next few days."
Su Xing also said, "That's right, Grandpa and Grandma, He Xu has already booked a restaurant in advance, let's go."
Grandpa Su made the decision: "Alright, let's go out to eat."
Although they don't want young people to spend too much money, being too stubborn is considered immature and a downer, and it will put the children in a difficult position.
