Chapter 219 Early Love?
Zhao Yuan nodded slightly after listening, indicating his agreement:
"Okay, that's good. We need to take it one step at a time and approach each exam steadily. Remember, don't compare answers with your classmates these next two days. Just finish all the exams at your own pace. And after each exam, forget about it as soon as possible and focus all your energy on preparing for the next one. You can't go wrong!"
"Yes, yes, I know, I understand these principles perfectly well! You two, don't be so nervous, okay? Look at you two, you're much more nervous than me, the one actually taking the exam!"
Zhao Zhaodi couldn't help but chuckle.
And just like that, in the short span of three days, those nerve-wracking exams were over in the blink of an eye.
Finally, when the crisp bell rang, signaling the end of the last exam, it seemed to loosen the shackles on everyone's tense nerves, and everyone immediately felt a great sense of relief.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan, who had been waiting at the school gate for a long time, spotted Zhao Zhaodi walking out of the examination room. He went up to her with a joyful expression, and then the father and daughter happily chatted and laughed as they embarked on their journey home together.
The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has finally come to an end. For the students, this not only signifies the end of a difficult learning journey, but also the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.
In this moment filled with anticipation and a relaxed atmosphere, the students gathered together to share their deep friendship.
Zhao Zhaodi was no exception; she happily spent several days going out and having fun with her classmates.
Zhao Yuan doesn't actually object to his daughter making friends, after all, friendships between young people are precious.
However, as a father, a lingering worry always existed deep in his heart—the fear that his daughter would fall into the trap of early romance.
So, one day, Zhao Yuan earnestly instructed Zhao Zhaodi:
"Zhaodi, when you go out with your classmates, you must be careful to keep your distance and, more importantly, ensure your own safety. Also, make sure you're home before 7 p.m. every day."
Faced with her father's concern, Zhao Zhaodi responded confidently:
"Okay, Dad! I'm already eighteen and an adult, so don't worry."
Hearing his daughter's words, Zhaoyuan nodded silently and said nothing more.
Even he himself couldn't explain why he was so cautious and hesitant. Perhaps only those fathers who also raise daughters could truly understand the complex and subtle emotions Zhao Yuan felt at this moment.
After that, Zhao Yuan threw himself back into his busy work.
Days passed by like this, until one evening when Zhao Yuan finished his work and was driving home, he saw Zhao Zhaodi riding a bicycle slowly with a strange boy on the road ahead.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yuan instinctively slowed down and carefully maintained a safe distance, quietly following behind them...
The two finally arrived at their doorstep. The boy slowly dismounted from his bicycle, his feet landing steadily on the ground.
They stood at their doorstep, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, and chatted for a few more minutes.
After smiling and waving goodbye to the boy, Zhao Zhaodi gently pushed her slightly worn bicycle and slowly walked into her house.
Meanwhile, the boy got back on his bicycle, pushed off the pedal hard, and the wheels started spinning rapidly, carrying him away until he disappeared around the corner of the street.
After the two had completely left, Zhao Yuan, who had been silently watching everything, took a deep breath, gently pressed the accelerator, and drove the car smoothly into his own yard.
However, at this moment, Zhao Yuan's heart was filled with doubt and worry.
He pondered to himself:
Has Zhao Zhaodi already started dating? You know, in this special era, dating is strictly prohibited in universities! As a father, Zhaoyuan certainly doesn't want his precious daughter to fall into the whirlpool of love so early.
The problem is that simply seeing the two riding bicycles home together is not enough to definitively prove that they are in a romantic relationship.
For this reason, Zhao Yuan dared not rashly inquire of Zhao Zhaodi about the truth of the matter.
After dinner, Zhao Yuan sat alone in his room, staring blankly at the dark night sky outside the window, his mind replaying the scene he had witnessed that afternoon.
Just then, the gentle and considerate wife, Lin Fangfang, noticed her husband's unusual behavior. She quietly brewed a steaming cup of fragrant tea, then carefully carried the cup to Zhaoyuan's side and softly asked:
"Brother Yuan, what's wrong with you today? Ever since you came back, I've felt like you're hiding something on your mind."
Upon hearing his wife's concerned inquiry, Zhao Yuan turned his head slightly, looked at the virtuous and kind Lin Fangfang in front of him, and gave a bitter smile.
He reached out and took the teacup from Lin Fangfang, then pulled her to sit down beside him.
Then, Zhao Yuan sighed deeply and said to Lin Fangfang in a low voice:
“Honey, I saw a boy walk Zhao Zhaodi home today. To be honest, I'm really worried that she might be dating too early. After all, at her age, she should be focusing on her studies. But, just because they rode their bikes home together, I don't want to directly ask Zhao Zhaodi about it. Sigh... I really don't know how to handle this!”
After saying that, Zhao Yuan shook his head helplessly again, his eyes revealing deep worry.
"You're worrying too much! We started dating back in junior high, and now our daughter is 18. What do you have to worry about?"
Lin Fangfang said with a big smile.
Zhao Yuan frowned and shook his head:
"How can that be the same? Our Zhao Zhaodi has a limitless future. I don't want her to be distracted by dating too early. Besides, it's a clear rule in college that dating is not allowed."
Lin Fangfang gently patted Zhao Yuan's shoulder, comforting him:
"Brother Yuan, don't worry. Our daughter Zhaodi is the most worry-free child. She's very opinionated. If you're still worried, why don't you take her to the company more often so she can get familiar with the family business? Anyway, this business will eventually be handed over to her."
After listening, Zhao Yuan nodded slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he finally made up his mind:
