"...Later, when I went to Uncle Guang’s place, she was waiting at the intersection. She didn’t say anything, just followed me back and forth. Once, when there was no one around, she rushed up and hugged me, crying and saying her family conditions were good, she was so-and-so’s daughter, she was different from others, she genuinely liked me, and the more I rejected her, the more she thought I was a good man..."

Mr. Zhang listened and studied his son’s expression seriously, truly worried that the boy might be tempted. Having such a pretty girl cling to you is really more trouble than it’s worth!

"I was so scared at the time that I quickly pushed her away. In my life, besides my wife, I’ve never been so close to another woman. My actions were a bit excessive, and the young girl was thrown out, injuring her hand and foot and bleeding. I had no choice, I later carried her to the hospital."

Mr. Zhang glared at him, frustrated and angry, tapping the kang table and lowering his voice, "Foolish! You should have just walked away back then."

Zhang Guofu smiled bitterly, "I couldn’t walk away, Dad, I couldn’t harden my heart. Seeing her in tears and bleeding reminded me of Mai Miao. If my daughter were like that, I’d be heartbroken."

Mr. Zhang was at a loss whether to cry or laugh. Being able to think of his own daughter at that moment, this person still had hope! He had thought his son was already smitten.

"That day, I spoke to her at length, clearly telling her that there was no future between us. After that, I didn’t dare go to Uncle Guang’s alone anymore, and I would only go shopping with male classmates."

As Zhang Guofu spoke, he furrowed his brow, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at his father, "Dad, that day when Xiao Wu and the others came over, she was waiting for me again at the gate. And it was still class time. Do you think she was trying to confirm something?"

Mr. Zhang nodded quickly. Even if the girl was innocent, she still deserved a bad name for herself! Her tactics were not simple.

"I didn’t think about marrying her, so I didn’t give it much thought, but after you mentioned it tonight, it feels quite strange. I’m not talkative, and aside from studying, I don’t have much of a presence at school. How did she even notice me?"

"Didn’t she say?"

Zhang Guofu nodded, "She did say that I helped her once, but I forgot."

Mr. Zhang quickly said, "See, see... you can’t even remember it clearly, so it must be a trivial matter. Is a trivial matter worth a girl making a big fuss about? That girl definitely has an agenda!"

Zhang Guofu sat up straight, waiting for his father’s next words.

"Let’s analyze each point together. Let’s start with the girl’s character. Think about whether your two sisters would do such a thing? Knowing you have a wife and four children, a grown girl clinging to a man—there’s a character problem, right?"

Zhang Guofu nodded slowly, tilting his head.

"Now, let’s talk about your school. Handsome guys younger than you are definitely abundant, right? Since the girl is good-looking and comes from a good family, there must be some male students interested in her, right? Then what’s her aim?"

Zhang Guofu was bombarded with his dad’s chain of questions and kept nodding. Yeah, what’s the aim? Is it really love? He couldn’t ask his old man that, it was too embarrassing.

"Then, let’s discuss her actions. Look at how she used letters first, and then actions, this shows the girl is strategic. Educated people are indeed different. What’s this called? Testing the waters.
