Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1371 - 21: Parent-Child Fair (End)

"Dad, do you think she’s going too far?" Gongsun Ce said with a troubled face, "I’m so grown up and she’s still pulling my ear to lecture me."

"Have you read ’One Hundred Years of Solitude’?" Mr. Gongsun said, "In ’One Hundred Years of Solitude,’ Colonel Aureliano intends to execute a General who opposes him but treats civilians well. His mother Ursula pulls many soldiers’ mothers to court to plead for the General, saying, ’You’re playing a terrible game, and we are your mothers; mothers should spank you when you break the rules.’

"Gongsun Ce sighed, "Ursula’s argument was reasonable, but it didn’t work, didn’t it? That General still ended up dead."

"Because Colonel Aureliano is a ruthless person who doesn’t care about his mother’s words." Mr. Gongsun patted his shoulder, "But you still obediently listen to your mom’s nagging, which makes me much happier."

After the earth-shattering "Four," the group of drunkards gathering for a party in the activity room became a trivial matter. Gongsun’s mom showcased her ear-pulling skills and scolded Gongsun Ce, calling him a scoundrel who became a heartbreaker after being away for years, betraying others’ goodwill and needing strict handling and discipline. In a critical moment, the young lady stood up and used the "Bill 893" to rescue her boyfriend. Now Gongsun’s mom couldn’t spare the time to reprimand her son; she has a new problem to worry about:

If this becomes legal and reasonable, it won’t count as being a heartbreaker anymore, what should be done?

Fortunately, middle-aged women often have a simple and effective mindset to help them solve various problems. Gongsun’s mom quickly came up with a conclusion:

Anyway, Ah Ce needs a good cleaning first, and the rest can be dealt with later.

So Gongsun Ce spent nearly an hour being reprimanded, then his mom was coaxed into going out with Qin Qianbai and Shiyu Ling. The group of united drunkards all expressed, "Brother, it wasn’t intentional," and then watched the fun while drinking happily. Right now, Gongsun Ce was hiding in the school cafeteria with his dad, rubbing his ears, while Mr. Gongsun occasionally provided ammunition when his wife was at a loss for words, remaining calm and composed.

"Dad, look at you, you have time to drop book references but don’t help your son say a few words, am I really your biological child?" Gongsun Ce lamented.

Mr. Gongsun smiled half-heartedly: "Help you say what? That you juggling four boats is romantic charisma, should your mom and I still encourage it?"

"No, hey!" Gongsun Ce grew more irritated as he thought about it, "Your attitude is really weird! Since you landed this morning, you’ve just been watching me like a joke; what makes you doubt me so much?"

His dad adjusted his glasses: "With such a big matter like messing around with relationships, do you really expect Spencer and his wife to help you keep it secret?"

Gongsun Ce was speechless: "I... you..."

"The night you left the Fire Wind State, they reported it to me." Mr. Gongsun said slowly, "I felt this matter should be left for you to find a way to explain, so I didn’t tell your mom. The plan you prepared... well, it’s quite lively, at least I don’t have to worry about your mom getting high blood pressure from being angry."

Gongsun Ce slumped over the cafeteria table, wanting to cry but unable to: "Damn it... I always clash with Kardesia... never a good thing when it comes to her..."

"Don’t blame your own mess on friends." Mr. Gongsun sneered, "Alright, your mom has more or less calmed down; you better perform well this afternoon. Unless you really plan on hiding in the cafeteria until 6?"

"I’m afraid my ears will be pulled off..."

"Have some backbone!" Mr. Gongsun teased.

The rest of the day went relatively smoothly. Gongsun’s mom saw that the girls got along well with her son, and since the bill seemed serious, she didn’t really get angry. Gongsun Ce abandoned his plans altogether, took his parents for a tour of the campus, then went to see the gardens in Cangshou District. Having eaten nothing proper at lunch, seeing the sky darken, Gongsun Ce decided to gather the girls and friends for a luxury meal at the high-end restaurant where Mr. Qin once treated him. Gongsun’s mom sat in the revolving restaurant on the 30th floor, looking at the table filled with exquisite dishes, feeling a bit worried as she picked up her chopsticks.

"Ah Ce, you’re not borrowing money to show off, right?"

"Relax and eat, mom. Those chaotic projects before were done by friends, but the ones collaborating with officials are real. Your son is truly not short on money now, and can afford meals like this anytime."

"But don’t eat like this all the time, save your money, okay?"

"Okay."

This dinner with great face obviously improved mom’s mood greatly. After the meal, it was close to dusk, Qin Qianbai, the busy Teacher Aidal, Qi Jingxuan, and the special envoy Helaisen led Gongsun’s mom home to rest. Gongsun Ce accompanied his dad for a post-dinner walk, strolling back from Thorn District to the campus. By this time, the day’s activities were over, and the students who had been busy for the whole day were disassembling their stalls and chatting with family members. Many students passing by greeted Demon eagerly, Gongsun Ce returned the greetings one by one.

"It’s quite nice, right?" Gongsun Ce tried to stir up a conversation, "Our university’s atmosphere is pretty good..."

"It’s nice, much better than your high school." Mr. Gongsun agreed, "I used to visit your high school during activities with your mom, and the atmosphere was very cold. The students mostly gathered in groups to do their own things, and you only interacted with those few old friends. In college, the atmosphere is indeed different, everyone engages in activities together, truly lively."
