Chapter 1151 Did I skip a grade?
Hearing his girlfriend's words and her obviously cheerful tone, He Xu couldn't help but smile.
He laughed and said, "So you've made more friends."
"Hehe," Su Xing said, "I even joined their group."
Seeing the joy in Su Xing's eyes and brows, the elderly men and women immediately guessed what was going on.
Some onlookers were also dazzled by Su Xing's bright smile.
He Xu on the other end of the phone said, "That's great, you'll have the opportunity to communicate with them more."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Grandma just called and said that He Zhao and Xinglan are coming back to the old house for dinner today. She asked if we'd like to come. Are you free?"
Su Xing said, "Okay, I'm fine now."
"Okay, which park are you in? I'll come find you first."
"I'm at XXX Park. I brought my phone with me and drove out."
“Then I’ll take the subway to find you, and we’ll bring Bu Diu with us.”
"Okay, see you in a bit."
Su Xing hung up the call and noticed that many eyes were staring at her.
Aunt Pipa's tone was full of gossip, "Your boyfriend's phone number?"
"Yes, that's right." Su Xing was a little embarrassed.
The woman playing the hulusi (a type of flute) said, "Oh my, you have a boyfriend now?"
Su Xing smiled and said, "Yes."
The old man playing the flute asked, "How old is your partner? What does she do? Where is she from?"
"Uh... he's 25, still studying, and his family is from Beijing..."
The old man playing the suona asked, "You're 25 already, why are you still studying? Did you repeat a grade?"
The old man playing the erhu stared wide-eyed. "You're from Peking University, how could you marry someone who wasn't good at studying?!"
Su Xing's lips twitched, and he said, "No... he's pursuing a doctorate."
Several old men exclaimed in unison, "Wow!"
Aunt Pipa mocked the old men, "At your age, you're still studying. You must be pursuing master's or doctoral degrees. You're just too uncultured to think that others can't study well."
Several old men rolled their eyes at her.
Among the crowd, some people were also sighing.
"Sure enough, people who excel in their studies tend to find partners who are also academically gifted."
"Which university are you pursuing your PhD at? Is it a good university?"
"What do you think of her looks? I wonder if she's a good match for me..."
Su Xing felt helpless and speechless. She didn't intend to answer these questions one by one, so she pretended not to hear the discussions.
She said to the elderly men and women, "I have something to do in a little while, so I have to go now. Dear teachers, let's keep in touch when we have time."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy if you have something to do."
"Let's chat in the group whenever we have time."
Su Xing nodded and replied, "Okay, I will."
The little girl on the bench next to us hadn't left yet; her mother tried several times to take her daughter away but failed.
At that moment, when the little girl heard Su Xing say that she was leaving, she waved to Su Xing and said in a clear voice, "Goodbye, sister."
Su Xing smiled and said goodbye to the little girl and her mother, "Goodbye, it was a pleasure to meet you both today."
The little girl was both happy and shy, covering her face and laughing heartily.
Su Xing packed up her bamboo flute and erhu, carefully carrying the instruments on her back so she wouldn't lose them.
She waved to everyone, "Bye-bye~"
Bye-bye!
Goodbye, young lady.
A man and his dog walked out of the crowd under everyone's watchful eyes.
At this moment, Su Xing heard two consecutive electronic system voices in his mind.
[The mission to challenge one hundred elderly people skilled in traditional Chinese arts is 7% complete. Reward: 5 days of health, 2% musical talent. Keep up the good work, host!]

I woke up in a very good mood.
Today I met an elderly man playing the flute and an elderly man playing the erhu, and completed two challenges in one go. I also met several other elderly men who play traditional Chinese musical instruments. This afternoon was really worthwhile.
She held Bu Diu's hand and continued walking forward.
Actually, He Xu would have to wait a while before he arrived at the park.
She was in a hurry to get out of the crowd, mainly because she couldn't handle everyone's questions.
She planned to take Bu Diu for a walk in the park first, so that it could take care of its physiological needs.
It kept walking and sniffing, and finally chose a patch of grass that looked pleasing to the eye, squatted down, and bent over.
Su Xing quickly pulled a small plastic bone out of his pocket; it was a small box for holding dog poop bags.
She tore open a small bag, and before the dog finished pooping, she scooped up its poop, tied the bag tightly, and threw it into the nearby trash can.
Her eyes kept wandering, and she refused to look at her mother.
It's always like this after it finishes its business.
Su Xing would laugh at it at first, thinking that a dog should know how to be ashamed.
She doesn't tease it much anymore.
As long as she doesn't look after it or lose sight of it, the dog will return to normal in less than two minutes.
Su Xing, carrying Bu Diu, strolled around for another twenty minutes or so before heading out of the park.
As soon as she left the park, she received a message from He Xu.
Xu: "I've gotten off the subway, I'll be there soon."
Can't you stay asleep? "Then I'll wait for you at the East Gate."
Xu: "Okay~"
Su Xing held on tight and stood at the park entrance for a while.
About four or five minutes later, she saw the tall, familiar figure walking towards her not far away.
Su Xing's eyes curved into a smile.
Even without losing it, the leash was kept taut, the tail wagged like a propeller, and the dog's eyes were fixed on its dad walking towards it from the opposite direction.
He Xu quickened his pace.
Su Xing, holding Bu Diu's hand, went to greet them.
He stuck out his mouth and nudged He Xu's legs.
He Xu took Su Xing's hand without letting go, and held his girlfriend's hand with his other hand. "Have you been waiting long?"
“No,” Su Xing said. “We just came out of the park a few minutes ago.”
"Let's go."
The two walked towards the parking lot.
At that moment, a few more people came out of the park.
If he woke up and turned around, he would recognize that these people were the elderly men and women who played traditional musical instruments.
The woman playing the hulusi looked at the young couple ahead and said, "Hey? That girl up ahead... isn't she the one from the park just now?"
Grandpa Flute said, "It must be her! Look at the dog they're walking, that's the dog!"
Aunt Pipa said, "Is that her boyfriend? He's quite tall!"
The old man playing the erhu said, "What's the use of being tall? Who knows what you look like?"
The old man playing the suona said, "Judging from that back view, he shouldn't be bad-looking, right?"
"That's not necessarily true! Some people look alright from behind, but their faces are a disaster!"
"With a girl like that, how could she possibly find someone ugly?"
"I doubt my grandson, Zijun, will be among them..."
"Give me a break! Your grandson is all chubby, his eyes are practically squashed out! He'd be a bit more presentable if he lost some weight."
"You don't know anything! My grandson is just lucky!"
The erhu player and the suona player got into an argument.
The old man playing the flute got annoyed and said, "You guys better shut up!"
Aunt Pipa and Aunt Hulusi both curled their lip in disapproval. Who says men aren't gossipy? These old men are way more gossipy than they are! Not only are they gossipy, but they're also sharp-tongued!
