Chapter 238: Chapter 178: My Family’s San’er_3

To others, it may seem like the deal has been sealed, but everyone present knows that’s not actually the case; this was all just a natural progression of events.

And as for this natural progression, Xu Sanye, the leader with a "father-figure" approach, had done a lot of groundwork beforehand.

Han Yu was very grateful; he usually never drank alcohol, but tonight he downed six glasses.

He toasted the Director first, then Mr. Han and Mrs. Han, followed by Sister Zhu, Director Zhang and Political Commissioner Wang, drinking one after another until, predictably, he got drunk.

He has no recollection of how Director Feng and Director Yu came over to toast later, nor what was said; he was completely clueless.

When he woke up the next morning, he found himself lying in his school sister’s bed.

"You’re finally awake."

"Wha... How did I end up sleeping here, Sister Ningning, how did I get here last night?"

"Sister Ningning?!"

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, quickly smiling and saying, "My head hurts a bit, I forgot to change how I address you."

Han Xiangning glared at him, put down the book she was reviewing and muttered, "You can’t hold your liquor, yet you insisted on drinking. You vomited all over yourself, and even got it on me."

Lifting the blanket, Han Yu saw he was not wearing his own clothes and anxiously asked, "How did I get here, who helped me change?"

"Director Zhang arranged a ride for you here, and my dad helped you change your clothes."

Han Xiangning pulled out a red packet from under her book and dangled it in front of him, "My parents are so good to you, they even gave you a red packet with two hundred yuan!"

"That much?"

"Your sister and brother-in-law also gave me two hundred."

"Really?"

"I’ll keep the red packet for you; from now on, I’ll manage all your money."

"Okay."

"You must be hungry, hurry up and wash your face to eat. The porridge is still warm in the pot."

Recalling everything that happened last night, Han Yu felt like he was dreaming and couldn’t help but ask, "Ningning, are you really willing to be my girlfriend?"

Han Xiangning opened a drawer, sifted through several photos, and spread them out one by one in front of him:

"See, all of this was premeditated. You had me collect your third-level merit certificate, take photos with your sister and Sister Zhang Lan, and even had me go to Sansing for your nephew’s first birthday celebration. Turns out your master plotted to set us up from the start."

"I really didn’t know about this."

"Whether you knew or not doesn’t matter anymore, you guys succeeded anyway."

Han Xiangning sat down on the bed, looking at the photo of them attending the Chief Officer and Sister Zhang Lan’s wedding, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Actually, being in a relationship isn’t so bad. My parents are happy, the unit leaders are happy, your sister and brother-in-law are happy, everyone’s happy, and we should be too."

Han Yu felt like he was the happiest person in the world, couldn’t help but take her hand and ask, "Ningning, are you really happy?"

"Of course, I’m happy. Where else could I find an obedient boyfriend like you?"

"You’re willing to be my girlfriend just because I’m obedient?"

"Not just because you’re obedient; you’ve also grown taller. If you were still as puny as before, I would never have gone out with you."

"..."

"Get up, it’s time to study, you have an exam early tomorrow."

Seeing Han Yu about to speak but stopping short, as if unhappy, Han Xiangning giggled, "Did I hurt your pride? I’m just joking with you, actually, you have a lot of good qualities. I used to see you as a brother and didn’t think much of it. Now, it seems quite nice to have a boyfriend like you."

"What good qualities?" Han Yu asked subconsciously.

Han Xiangning let go of his hand and chuckled secretly, "Haven’t you noticed, you’re actually quite handsome, it’s just that you dress shabbily. You’re with the police, and even when you were small, you dared to fight with criminals. Being with you feels safe, I sleep well knowing you’re there."

Unable to contain himself, Han Yu took her hand again, pressing, "What else?"

"Your parents are nice people, so are your sister and brother-in-law. Plus, your parents are helping your elder brother and don’t fuss over you too much. Dating you would be almost like marrying into your family. We both have the last name Han, and if we get married and have kids, they’ll certainly have the Han surname, which will make my parents happy."

"What do you mean ’if we get married’?"

"I can forgive you for making one mistake, not two. If you get involved with Lin Xiaohui again in a dubious way, I’ll definitely break up with you. If I still married you after that, I would be foolish."

"..."

"Feeling guilty now? You should!"

Han Xiangning shook off his hand again, poking at his forehead, "From now on, you’re handing over your salary to me. I’ll give you some pocket money, and I’ll buy your clothes. Otherwise, you’ll sneak off to Lin Xiaohui again."

Now that we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, why is it still the same as before?

Han Yu felt that having a girlfriend shouldn’t mean forgetting old neighbors, but he dared not say it out loud and could only nod, "I won’t go see her, nor will I call her."

"You can go see her, you can call her, just don’t let me know about it."

"I said I won’t see her, I won’t call her."

"That’s more like it."

The younger schoolmate always listens, as long as he promises, he surely won’t make the same mistake again.

Han Xiangning giggled and took his hand again, talking about last night, "After you got drunk last night, Director Feng came to our booth to toast. Hearing that you’re going to take the exam to become Chief Officer for ships over 1600 tons in the near shore area and then come back, he said that our Port Supervision Bureau needs talented people like you, and when it’s time, we could transfer you to our bureau."

"Transfer to your bureau to do what?"

"The Traffic Control Center needs someone with your navigational experience now, and it’s not like we can always be without a pilot. Later, we might send you for training to become a pilot."

Becoming a pilot is often the ultimate goal for Shipping School students.
