Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 813: Chapter 807 Guo Rui_1

“I came to visit you. My mom made this braised pork, and I brought some for you to taste.” Guo Rui placed the bag she was carrying in front of Qin Yu.

“Ms. Guo, I understand your intention, but truthfully, I don’t have the headspace for it right now. I hope you can understand.” Qin Yu felt it was better to be upfront about things, as dragging it on wouldn’t be good for either of them.

“Qin Yu, you don’t have to explain. Let’s just take it slow, if we’re incompatible, I won’t force it.” Guo Rui had been here so many times already. How could she not know what Qin Yu meant? But as her dad said, he is a good man, and she didn’t want to give up on him.

“Why bother when you already know the outcome?” Qin Yu looked at the stubborn girl.

“How can you know it won’t work without trying? Isn’t that so?” Guo Rui said with a smile, but there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes. Isn’t it something she already knew?

“I’ve said it before: my feelings for you are friendship and sibling-like. Right now, I want to focus on studying and finding my sister, not dating. If you have the time, you can study with me. It would benefit you.” Qin Yu felt a little bad seeing Guo Rui like this, but if he didn’t have feelings for her, he shouldn’t lead her on.

“Alright, where do you want to go to school?” Guo Rui laughed. If they couldn’t be together, they could at least attend the same university. That could provide more chances for them to cross paths, and feelings might develop over time.

“I’m planning on attending Imperial University. I’m studying to be an engineer, aiming to join weapon research or something similar.” Qin Yu didn’t conceal his ambition. It was also a mark of respect for Guo Rui as he invited her to attend university together.

“OK, then see you at Imperial University.” Guo Rui agreed readily. However, she never imagined that while she used four years catching up, Qin Yu only needed one. When she worked hard to stay with Qin Yu at the university, he was about to graduate.

“Alright, see you at university.” Qin Yu had a favorable impression of Guo Rui’s personality, but it was only a positive feeling. He wasn’t smitten with her.

“I’ll go first then, bye-bye.” Guo Rui said cheerfully before she left. Having a goal was good, it gave her direction. She initially thought she could continue with their relationship and eventually marry Qin Yu, but that seemed unrealistic. Changing tack, she told herself, ‘Come on Guo Rui, you can do it.’

Qin Yu shook his head, looking at the things Guo Rui had brought but didn’t take away. He knew Guo Aiguo was quite fond of him, but he didn’t expect Guo Aiguo was considering him as his son-in-law. The fact Guo Aiguo was not overly affectionate when he brought Guo Rui along implied this, and letting it out in open wasn’t a bad feeling. Luckily, Guo Rui was not the type of woman to pester endlessly, otherwise he would indeed feel helpless.

Qin Yu picked up the problem he hadn’t finished and continued solving. What he ought to do was concentrate on his studies and await his missed college entrance examination, aiming to nail it this time.

A short distance away, Fang Xiu enjoyed peaceful days. No one was disturbing her and her son’s life anymore. Everything was calm and quiet.

Fang Xiu looked at her son playing nearby. Recalling her husband’s words that no one would bother her again, she initially thought he was joking. How could the people from the Jing family possibly leave her alone? However, many days had passed since her husband brought up the subject, and indeed no one had come to trouble her. It seemed she could trust his words after all.
