He patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder, and under Zhang Xuan's astonished gaze, he took Zhou Shishi's arm and walked away leisurely.

As for what Zhang Xuan was shocked about, it was naturally those few words.

A whole box of condoms, lasting all night.

Holy crap! Is this even human?!

Inside a high-end women's cosmetics store, Zhou Shishi looked at the things Lin Zheng had bought, her face full of conflict.

She couldn't help but grab his arm and shake it, saying, "Lin Zheng, you don't need to buy so much stuff, and it's too expensive..."

"It's nothing, it's just a small amount of money. Besides, it's my first time visiting your home, so I should at least buy something decent, right?"

Lin Zheng withdrew his arm, put his arm around her fair and delicate shoulders, and gently shook her, smiling knowingly.

Zhou Shishi wanted to say something more, but in the end she sighed helplessly.

But deep down, I was overjoyed.

When you take your boyfriend to meet your parents, the more expensive the gifts he brings, the better!

The more valuable she is, the higher her status in his heart.

After leaving the cosmetics store, Lin Zheng bought two cartons of cigarettes at the tobacco and liquor store next door.

Upon hearing the boss's price, Zhou Shishi couldn't help but gasp inwardly. Are cigarettes really that expensive?

One thousand per item?

Moreover, Lin Zheng bought two!

Lin Zheng had originally planned to buy some high-end tea.

But this thing is a complete waste of money.

He's willing to spend money, but that doesn't mean he's a fool who lets others take advantage of him.

"When other people visit each other's homes, they usually bring some fruit and a couple of cases of milk. But you, you spent so much money, and the things you bought were outrageous..."

Zhou Shishi looked at the things Lin Zheng had bought and was both amused and exasperated.

Who goes to someone's house and gives them cosmetics as a gift?

Lin Zheng smiled without saying a word, waved to flag down a taxi, and then sat down in the back with her.

"These days, it's silly to bring two boxes of milk when visiting elders. That's too low-class and not practical at all."

The things I bought for my aunt and uncle, at least they can use them, right?

As Lin Zheng spoke, he put his left arm around Zhou Shishi's waist, while pointing to his own lips with his right hand.

The girl understood immediately.

But in her heart, it was fine to hug and cuddle with Lin Zheng normally in public, but kissing in front of others...

She glanced at the driver, feeling a little shy and reluctant, so she leaned close to Lin Zheng's ear and whispered, "How about I kiss you when we're alone? It's so embarrassing to kiss in front of strangers~."

"Woo~".

Lin Zheng whimpered, shook her head like a child, and then pointed to her lips.

Zhou Shishi frowned slightly, looking helplessly at the young man in front of her.

She raised her right hand, brushed her bangs back, then leaned forward, tilted her head back, and gently pressed her pink lips against her forehead.

She intended to give him a quick kiss and then stop.

But the next moment, Lin Zheng grabbed her head with one hand and ravaged her for more than ten seconds before letting go.

Looking at Zhou Shishi, her face was already flushed after just a few seconds of kissing.

Just as Xiaolu was panicking, Lin Zheng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "OK, Shishi, I'll let you off this time, but it won't be so easy next time~."

"Hmm~, okay..."

The girl gave a shy hum.

She only calmed down when the taxi was almost at the entrance of her residential compound.

After getting off the bus, she gave him a disgruntled look.

He couldn't help but kiss her in the car, how annoying!

Zhou Shishi's family also bought a commercial apartment, but they bought it a little earlier. It's a walk-up apartment, on the fourth floor, not too high and not too low, just right.

According to Zhou Shishi, her father's name is Zhou Jianguo, and he works in a public institution, earning a monthly salary of six to seven thousand yuan.

Her mother works for a state-owned enterprise and earns about 5,000 yuan a month.

Her family owns two houses, one of which is still unfurnished and is intended as her dowry.

Because of this house, her parents are not so demanding about her future marriage prospects, and they don't require the man to have a car and a house.

As long as the man has a job, is ambitious, and has decent character, that's fine.

Hearing this, Lin Zheng couldn't help but sigh, "This is what the real middle class is like!"

Unlike some poor families who demand a car and a house from their husbands when they marry off their daughters, and ask for hundreds of thousands in dowry, treating their daughters as if they were being sold.

And those daughters were also fools.

Your husband gives your parents hundreds of thousands in dowry, only to replace them with three quilts in the end...

Your husband, who was once wealthy, became penniless after you got married. Won't you be the one suffering in the future?

After all, it's honestly quite difficult for an ordinary person to save up several hundred thousand yuan.

As the two entered the residential area, Zhou Shishi quietly let go of Lin Zheng's hand, worried that the neighbors might see them and gossip.

Lin Zheng said, "I understand."

This is the kind of clandestine romance that happens during adolescence.

The two quickly went upstairs and opened the door.

Zhou Shishi's father was walking out of the bathroom. He was thin and wore glasses. He looked kind and honest.

But when he saw Lin Zheng following behind his daughter, his brows immediately furrowed and his expression became displeased.

Fortunately, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the young man who came into the house with his daughter was not one of those hooligans with dyed yellow hair.

At this moment, he still didn't know that the person with his daughter was actually Lin Zheng, who ranked among the top three in the city's college entrance examination.

"Pingping, your daughter's boyfriend is here, come out and see!"

He grumbled and walked over to the sofa, sitting down in a huff.

Zhang Ping's reaction was completely different from Zhou Jianguo's.

When she saw Lin Zheng, her eyes lit up.

Women, even in their forties or fifties, can still feel attracted to handsome men.

"Uncle and Aunt, my name is Lin Zheng. I am Shishi's classmate and we are currently in a business partnership, so you could say we are colleagues."

Lin Zheng shyly introduced himself and then placed the things he bought on the dining table next to him.

"I bought you some gifts, just a small token of my appreciation,"

As he spoke, he touched the back of his head with a simple and honest expression.

Is it okay to introduce yourself like this when visiting someone's home for the first time?

He muttered to himself.

"Okay, okay, you're here. Why did you bring anything? Come on, sit on the sofa. Auntie is cooking, it'll be ready soon."

Zhang Ping smiled kindly and gave Zhou Shishi a wink, signaling her to take the initiative.

Zhou Shishi immediately pulled Lin Zheng to sit on the sofa, and then poured a few glasses of water and put them on the coffee table.

Feeling uneasy, Lin Zheng looked at Zhou Shishi's father's sour face, as if someone owed him money and hadn't paid it back, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Awkward, extremely awkward.

Suddenly, he noticed a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table. If he remembered correctly, this stuff should cost twelve yuan a pack, right?

Thinking for a moment, he beckoned to Zhou Shishi, and when she came close, he whispered to her, "Shishi, the cigarettes I bought for your dad, secretly take them to him."

"Oh, good."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zhou Shishi was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

But then she took two cartons of He Tianxia cigarettes.

Zhou Jianguo initially looked disgusted and disliked this young man who was trying to take advantage of his eighteen-year-old daughter.

But when he saw the two lines and the sky, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

As a heavy smoker, he has tried almost all the local brands of cigarettes.

But most of the time he smokes cigarettes that cost only ten or twenty yuan.

There's no way around it. As a heavy smoker, one pack a day is the bare minimum. Thirty packs a month, even at ten or twenty yuan a pack, still adds up to four or five hundred yuan a month for cigarettes.

He only buys a pack of expensive cigarettes like He Tianxia, ​​which costs 100 yuan a pack, during holidays and festivals.

To my surprise, this young man actually bought him two!

That's two thousand yuan!

"Dad, this is a gift Lin Zheng bought for you. It cost two thousand!"

Zhou Shishi spoke up and handed him two packs of cigarettes.

Zhou Jianguo was like a young man seeing a beautiful woman; he couldn't take his eyes off the cigarettes. He couldn't help but swallow and reach out to take the two packs of cigarettes.

Feeling the frosted texture of the high-end cigarette packaging, he couldn't help but gasp.

Perhaps this young man comes from a well-off family.

His attitude finally softened.

"Young man, what's your name? Don't impersonate someone else; I hate it when people lie to me."

He decided to give Lin Zheng a chance, which is why he asked that question.

If Lin Zheng answers honestly, then he'll just have to accept the fact that his precious daughter has been taken advantage of.

"Ahem~, Uncle, my name is Lin Zheng. I'm Shishi's classmate, and we're also colleagues. I..."

As Lin Zheng spoke, he saw Zhou Jianguo's hard-won smile instantly turn cold.

He stopped speaking, and the monk was completely baffled.

What's going on?

Why is Zhou Shishi's father so hostile towards him?

Chapter 187 The World Belongs to Us

Zhou Shishi had already figured out why her father always gave Lin Zheng a sour look.

Isn't it because they don't believe Lin Zheng is Lin Zheng?

So she leaned close to Lin Zheng's ear and whispered, "Lin Zheng, you need to prove that you are yourself."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Lin Zheng was completely bewildered. What did it mean that he needed to prove that he was himself?

"Ahem~, my parents just don't believe you're Lin Zheng..."

Zhou Shishi looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain herself.

She invited Lin Zheng to her home, but didn't tell him everything, and it was difficult to explain at the moment.

Lin Zheng was still confused, but he already knew what to do next.

"Cough cough~......"

He coughed twice, then took out his phone, opened the photo album, which contained photos of the front and back of his ID card.

Don't ask him why he has such a photo. The answer is that some important software now requires real-name registration, such as bank cards and Alipay, which require the front and back of an ID card, right?

"Uncle, I don't know why, but I really am Lin Zheng, you see."
