179: Chapter 179 Song Ming: If I could have a son, even just half a son would be great (glancing at Chu Hong)

"What?!"

"Are you saying that the brat Chu Hong directly gave you a red-quality enhancement-type consumable?!"

Huangshan Base City.

Song Jiaojiao's father, President Song Ming, sprang up from the chair in front of his desk in shock and disbelief.

"Jiaojiao, are you sure you didn't read it wrong? It's red quality, not a red-colored potion. I..."

From the communicator came Song Jiaojiao's somewhat speechless mutter.

"Dad, in your eyes, am I now unable to even tell when a red-quality collectible is right in front of me? I'm not blind!"

President Song Ming: "..."

At this moment, he had no mind whatsoever to care about whether his daughter's eyes were blind or not.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling both excited and somewhat self-doubtful.

He sucked in a breath of cold air with a slight headache.

Was he getting too old?

Or was the era progressing too fast, and young people nowadays were so willing to spend a fortune on courting girls?

Right off the bat, a red-quality collectible, and it was even of the consumable type!

If used well, this thing would solidly strengthen oneself; it wasn't those red collectibles that you brought into an instance and might get snatched away by others...

President Song Ming seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked softly into the communicator.

"Y-You two didn't do that kind of thing, did you? Th-This brat is in such a hurry... Could it be..."

Before he could say words like "Am I going to become a grandfather?", on the other end of the communicator, inside the room of the airship flying back to Huangshan Base City, Song Jiaojiao's pretty face instantly flushed red as if blood could drip from it.

"Dad! What are you talking nonsense about?!"

She never expected that in her impression, her father, who had always been very reliable, rational, and proper, would have such bizarre brain circuits at this moment, thinking that she and Chu Hong did...

Seeming to think of something, Song Jiaojiao's pretty face inevitably turned even redder.

She buried her entire head into the blanket.

The temperature in the air seemed to rise rapidly at this moment.

Spoken so bluntly by her father, President Song Ming, the ambiguous feeling between the two suddenly became explicit.

From the communicator came President Song Ming's helpless sigh.

"Yes, yes, yes, Dad said the wrong thing. Um... The two of you should be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship now, right?"

Song Jiaojiao pursed her lips. That guy only flirted, but he never actively brought up this matter.

Her fingers anxiously twisted a strand of hair.

After a long silence, she still let out a barely perceptible, soft "Mn."

"S-Should be..."

President Song Ming's voice was excited: "What do you mean 'should be'?! It definitely is! This brat really spared no expense to court a girl. If he wasn't all alone, sooner or later his parents would have broken his legs!"

"Dad!" Song Jiaojiao reproached coquettishly.

"Hey, hey, hey, Dad said the wrong thing. Hahahahaha, a son-in-law is half a son, how could I break my son's legs? Hahaha."

President Song Ming on the other end was already pacing back and forth in the study with excitement.

Her own daughter entered Longming Sacred Academy.

And she found an even more outstanding boyfriend who was also very willing to spend, and who also came from Huangshan Base City. President Song Ming had been a bit overwhelmed recently due to the upcoming change of the Huangshan Base City lord.

In an instant, all the worries and concerns in his heart were swept away at this moment.

"Jiaojiao, listen to Dad. What men fear most is when a girl takes the initiative. Since he is willing to give you such a precious thing, he must have you in his heart. Never mind whether that brat is greedy for wealth or lustful, anyway, we lack neither..."

President Song Ming chattered on, making Song Jiaojiao on the other side once again bury her head in the blanket with bashfulness.

"How about this, you tell him to stay at our family's Song Family Manor for the next few days. I'll have Uncle Fu clean a room specifically for him, and he can stay as long as he likes. When the admission notices arrive, the two of you can go to Longming Sacred Academy together."

"I'll arrange his room right next to yours. Just so happens that Dad still has some business in the Rubiks Chamber of Commerce these few days, and I estimate I won't be home at night..."

Song Jiaojiao: "...Dad, you could actually be a bit more subtle..."

President Song Ming was startled.

Wait, he admitted that Chu Hong was outstanding enough, but with all these arrangements he made, in his own daughter's eyes, was it still not obscene enough?

Until finally Song Jiaojiao hung up the communicator.

President Song Ming, in the study of Song Family Manor, slowly recovered from this huge surprise.

"Hahaha! Ah Fu! Ah Fu! Quick! Quickly clean up the room next to Jiaojiao's and replace everything with new ones! Hahaha!"

"I, President Song Ming, have a successor to carry on my legacy!"

The airship flew for only about half a day.

When Chu Hong heard the announcement and walked out of the room with a smile on his face, head-on he saw Song Jiaojiao, who happened to be coming out of the opposite room.

After seeing him, her pretty face, which was already somewhat rosy,

instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

"Th-That... My dad said to invite you to stay at my house these few days, and by the way, he wants to see you..."

Song Jiaojiao's eyes seemed to faintly carry moisture. She, who had always possessed a aloof temperament, thought for a long time before coming up with such words.

What she said was that her father wanted to see him, not thank him.

Chu Hong should be able to understand what she meant, right?

A young girl's thoughts were always more complex.

However, upon hearing this, Chu Hong was stunned; he thought in another direction.

"Is it about the intelligence of the [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe] secret realm? It's fine. Since I've already made it public, your family's Pioneers team can use it however they want."

Song Jiaojiao was anxious: "It's not!"

"Then why are you looking for me?"

Song Jiaojiao: "..."

Song Jiaojiao was dying of anxiety. Dad already arranged your room right next to mine, how else did she want her to take the initiative to speak?

Fortunately, at this moment.

Wang Suming, who had noticed the atmosphere was a bit off while preparing to come out just now and hid behind his room door, gave a dry cough and walked out of the room.

His face still carried pleasant surprise.

"Campus Belle Song, when you invite Brother Hong to your house for a big meal, you can't leave me behind! At least we are teammates who have gone through life and death together!"

He winked and made faces, while also nudging Chu Hong, who was still somewhat dazed beside him, with his elbow.

"Brother Hong, why don't we go to Campus Belle Song's house in a while? I haven't been there yet anyway. As for my place, I'll go back tomorrow."

Good heavens!

This fat man was simply an angel!

Song Jiaojiao was so excited she was almost crying.

Looking at Chu Hong, the latter gave two dry coughs.

"Th-Then alright..."

It seemed that the matter of finding Xu Daili and the others had to be delayed by a day.

...

When the airship landed at Huangshan Base City, it was already afternoon towards dusk.

Outside the huge mooring platform, there were swarms of parents waiting for their children. Some people obviously had already communicated and knew the result, showing faces of joy and anticipation.

Some people... couldn't even get their communications through.

Some families were happy while others were sorrowful.

"Xiaohong, if you have nothing to do these next few days, come to the City Lord's Mansion. This old man can still help with the advancement to the Energy Gathering Realm..."

The old city lord Jiang Xingdong patted Chu Hong's shoulder with a chuckle.

At this moment, President Song Ming actually walked over quickly from not far away along with Uncle Fu, as if waiting there early.

Jiang Xingdong gave a half-smile, looking with a profound meaning at President Song Ming, whose calmness clearly carried a bit of uncontrollable excitement.

"Hehe, President Song, congratulations."

"Hahaha, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..."

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, once Jiang Xingdong left, President Song Ming finally looked at Chu Hong and his daughter Song Jiaojiao with a full face of smiles.

"Xiaohong, we meet again. This classmate must be Suming, right? I've heard Jiaojiao mention you."

Wang Suming greeted him honestly.

Actually, if not for Chu Hong, someone like him, who could be considered a second-generation rich kid among ordinary people, would have had no chance at all to appear before President Song Ming.

The three of them were taken onto the Song family's luxurious magical carriage.

President Song Ming and father-daughter Song Jiaojiao sat on one side, while opposite them were Wang Suming and Chu Hong.

President Song Ming looked passionately at Chu Hong in front of him. This wasn't their first meeting; they had met hurriedly once before.

However, at that time, because of the secret realm [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital], he was left overwhelmed and exhausted.

And he didn't have time to talk in detail.

"Xiaohong, thank you so much for taking such good care of our family's Jiaojiao in the secret realm."

Chu Hong, who was pondering in his heart tomorrow how to talk to Xu Daili and the others and have them move together with him to the base city where Longming Sacred Academy was located, was stunned.

Then, before he could reply.

He heard President Song Ming suddenly sigh.

"There is no other way. Jiaojiao's mother left early, and I only have this one daughter. The Rubiks Chamber of Commerce can only rely on her in the future. If I could have a son, even half of one... Jiaojiao wouldn't have to take such risks in the future."

Holy shit!

Wang Suming was shocked!

Was it this direct?!
