Chapter 128 Modern Extra (2)

【Chapter 3: Sending You Home】

Cheng Shuyi handed the flowers to Xie Junyao and waved her hand awkwardly: "Goodbye then."

Yang Yuanwan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, take care." Xie Junyao, on the other hand, said nothing, not even a thank you. He seemed... unhappy.

Cheng Shuyi couldn't stand Xie Junyao's cold face, so she closed the door for them and went to wait for the elevator. Standing in front of the elevator, she exhaled and couldn't help but say, "What a strange family."

Back at White Tea Pure Joy, he told Wen Wanyu what had just happened. He couldn't help but complain, and couldn't stop talking:

"I've never seen such a strange family. That...who is it, Xie Junyao, right? When he saw me, he looked like he saw an enemy, his face was so dark. Did I offend him in any way..."

Crunch

Interrupted Cheng Shuyi's complaints.

The door was pushed open. It was Yang Yuanwan. Cheng Shuyi shrugged at Wen Wanyu and said, "This is the mother of the 'cold-faced rich man.'"

'Cold-faced rich man' is the nickname Cheng Shuyi gave to Xie Junyao.

"Welcome."

"Hello."

As soon as Yang Yuanwan entered the room, her eyes were glued to Wen Wanyu. If that little girl this morning wasn't the flower shop owner, then this one must be.

Her eyes were gentle, the kind of tenderness an elder shows to a younger person. Through her eyes, one could almost feel her passion.

Wen Wanyu felt friendly and asked with a smile, "Are you buying flowers?"

"Yes," Yang Yuanwan originally wanted to come and see her future daughter-in-law, but after coming to the flower shop, she couldn't go back empty-handed: "I want a bouquet of pink baby's breath."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Wen Wanyu nodded, then grabbed a bunch of pink baby's breath and started to get busy, trimming the branches.

Wen Wanyu deliberately found a piece of pink wrapping paper and smiled slightly: "You seem to like pink very much."

Yang Yuanwan was surprised: "You know I like pink?"

Her son didn't even know...

Wen Wanyu's voice was soft, and her hands moved slowly. "Actually, I was just guessing. The last time Mr. Xie bought flowers from us, I picked pink tulips. Today you bought pink baby's breath, so I can tell you really like pink. But I'm also lucky that I chose your favorite color last time."

The more I look at this little girl, the more I like her. She is attentive and good at talking. You can tell she has received a good education.

Yang Yuanwan was very happy and comfortable: "I really like pink. I also like the flowers in your store."

"As long as you like it!"

Although she was a little busy, she was full of patience and understanding, and her attitude was very calm and gentle.

Yang Yuanwan took out her phone and said, "Thank you. This is my first time in Nanning. I'm teaching at Nanning University for a school year. Can I add you on WeChat? If I need to order flowers in the future, I can contact you directly on WeChat."

"Of course," Wen Wanyu said without hesitation, taking out the private WeChat code, "Please scan it."

"'Don't sleep at night'?"

"Yeah. This is me."

Yang Yuanwan couldn't help but brag. She had successfully added her future daughter-in-law to her personal WeChat account. Unlike her worthless son, who only added her to her work WeChat account.

…

After a busy day, Wen Wanyu looked up at the clock on the wall. It was 11:30 in the evening. She stretched. Maybe it was because it was the weekend, and college couples were dating, so business was much better, so she had to work overtime almost every day.

She changed out of her work clothes and locked the door.

Baicha Qinghuan is only ten minutes away from her home. She usually walks home. It's almost midnight, and there are few people on the street. Most offline stores have already turned off their lights.

"Shh—" a teasing whistle sounded.

Wen Wanyu turned her head and looked over. It was two drunken middle-aged men. Their faces were flushed, their steps were staggering, and they were swaying from side to side. They seemed unable to control their bodies.

"Where are you going alone, beautiful lady?"

Wen Wanyu got goosebumps and ignored them, quickening his pace. Unexpectedly, the two drunks stumbled after him, their eyes hazy and their gait unsteady, like wobbling ducks, a humorous sight.

Wen Wanyu couldn't help but jog. She looked back and saw the smile on one of the drunks' face gradually widening, and his words became more and more intense. "Beauty, why are you running? Don't run, let's have a couple of drinks together."

The words were so rude that Wen Wanyu felt like vomiting.

Seeing a familiar figure, Wen Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief and chased after him, "Thank you... sir."

Hearing the familiar voice, Xie Junyao immediately turned around: "Why are you here?" He looked down and saw that her eyes were slightly red, and her clear eyes were shining with tears like stars, as if she was about to cry...

It makes people feel distressed involuntarily...this is why.

Her body ached, her eyes immediately turned red, and her voice trembled with uncontrollable grievance: "Mr. Xie, can you... help me?"

"What's wrong?" Xie Junyao was puzzled for a moment, and subconsciously took out a pack of tissues from his pocket.

Wen Wanyu took it with trembling hands and glanced at the nearby area. "There are two people...who have been following me."

Xie Junyao followed her gaze. The two drunks were leaning against a tree, still staring at Wen Wanyu with a half-smile. Their expressions and actions were extremely arrogant. It seemed as if they would follow Xie Junyao as soon as she left.

Xie Junyao was carrying a large shopping bag containing a lot of daily necessities and several bottles of drinks. He first placed them on the ground and took out two bottles of glass drinks.

Wen Wanyu couldn't understand him: "Mr. Xie, what is this going to do?"

"Wait for me here." Xie Junyao didn't answer her directly. Holding a glass of drink in his hand, he walked towards the two drunks. As he approached, the two drunks immediately became serious.

It's so ironic.

Are you drunk? Actually, no. You're just using your drunkenness as an excuse to act like a hooligan...

Xie Junyao handed over the drink with a cold expression: "It's getting late, go home and rest early."

The two drunks didn't dare to take it. They said awkwardly, "Okay, okay."

He stretched out his long arms, blocking their way. Xie Junyao's eyes were filled with a chilling coldness. "Why don't you drink?"

With a "bang", he fell to the ground and the glass shattered all over the floor.

"Give me a favor. My friend then."

"Okay, okay, okay." The drunk man almost ran away.

Wen Wanyu couldn't hear what they were saying because they were far away. After a while, Xie Junyao came back to her against the moonlight.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

[Add me on WeChat for the fourth post. Private WeChat.]

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Xie." She did not refuse.

Xie Junyao took out another bottle of mineral water and handed it to her, "Drink some water." She looked bad and her lips were very pale, probably because she was scared.

Wen Wanyu took it, took two sips, and whispered "thank you." On the one hand, she felt embarrassed, after all, she wasn't familiar with Mr. Xie. On the other hand, Mr. Xie was surprisingly considerate. Before... she had been confident that he wanted to pursue her...

After watching her take two sips, Xie Junyao picked up the shopping bag and casually asked, "Where is your home?"

"It's just up ahead. The Jardine House complex."

Xie Junyao nodded, feeling relieved for the moment. The security work at Yihe Community was excellent.

Wen Wanyu was genuinely frightened today. She'd been here for two years, and this was the first time she'd encountered something like this. These two drunks were clearly targeting young girls walking alone. She couldn't imagine what she would have done if Xie Junyao hadn't shown up.

The surrounding noise seemed to disappear in an instant. The wide street was only filled with the occasional hurried footsteps of passers-by.

It was so quiet that Wen Wanyu felt an incomparable peace and relaxation. A gust of evening breeze blew, ruffling her bangs.

Zipping up my jacket, I heard the man next to me ask, "Why are you off work so late?"

Wen Wanyu sighed, "I've been busy lately. I used to close at 11pm at the latest, but lately, we've been overwhelmed with orders."

Xie Junyao glanced at her and said, "Try to get off work earlier in the future, or go together. If it really doesn't work... ask your boyfriend to pick you up." He couldn't help but test her when he saw her sparkling eyes.

It is undeniable that before hearing her answer,

Xie Junyao was so nervous that he could hardly breathe, his heart beating so fast that he didn't know how fast it was.

"I don't have a boyfriend. I'll get off work earlier in the future." Her voice was lazy and soft.

"Yeah," Xie Junyao raised the corners of his lips slightly.

"Mr. Xie, why are you still out so late? Did you just come out of the convenience store?"

"Come out to buy something."

Xie Junyao was very grateful that he suddenly felt hungry in the middle of the night and suddenly wanted to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

"So that's how it is. Thank you so much, Mr. Xie, today." Wen Wanyu lifted her hair that was messed up by the wind.

"I have a name."

"ah?"

"You should know my name. Just call me by it from now on."

Wen Wanyu hesitated for a moment: "...Okay." The customer is God. Since the customer has spoken, she should just do as he says.

"I don't even know your name yet?" Xie Junyao glanced at her and looked straight ahead.

"Wen Wanyu, the Wen of temperature, the Wanyu of 'Modao Sangyuwan'."

"Wen Wanyu, Wen Wanyu." Xie Junyao repeated it silently in his heart twice.

Wen Wanyu said half-jokingly, "Mr. Xie... just call me Boss Wen."

"Okay." Xie Junyao chuckled.

Boss Wen.

Xie Junyao made up a random excuse to make it seem less deliberate. "By the way, why didn't you send the flowers this morning? I thought I booked with the wrong store."

"Oh!" Wen Wanyu apologized. "Sorry. I forgot to mention that we usually deliver our orders ourselves. The person who sent you the flowers this morning is my best friend, who is also a partner of 'White Tea Qing Huan'. Generally speaking, she delivers flowers on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sevenths, and I do it on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sixths."

"It's okay. I was just curious."

She sends flowers on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

He began to look forward to 246.

"What's your job?"

"Orthopedic surgeon."

…

The two chatted and unknowingly walked to the main entrance of the Yihe community.

"Thank you, you don't need to see me off next time."

Wen Wanyu smiled sheepishly, pursing her lips. "Thank you so much for today. I'm sorry for taking up your time. It's getting late. Please go back quickly and be careful on the road."

"It's okay, there's no need to delay." Xie Junyao said.

"Then I'll go back first. Be careful on your way. Good night." Wen Wanyu waved his hand. When he was about to turn around, his voice sounded again:

"Add me on WeChat, private WeChat."

Wen Wanyu paused.

Xie Junyao caught her hesitation and said, "Inconvenient? Excuse me."

"It's not inconvenient." Wen Wanyu smiled faintly. "Your mother also added me on WeChat. I thought she would recommend it to you."

Mother? Why... was her mother so gossipy? She actually came to see her alone and even added her on WeChat. Xie Junyao suddenly felt a headache.

After adding her on WeChat, Xie Junyao told her, "Send me a WeChat message when you get home safely."

In return, Wen Wanyu replied, "You too."

After saying goodbye, Wen Wanyu entered the residential complex. When she turned her head, she suddenly caught a glimpse of him still standing there staring at her, his eyes moving slightly, and his rosy lips slightly curved.

————

After returning to her home, Wen Wanyu put on a face mask and called Cheng Shuyi. She told her what happened today and wanted to discuss with her how to avoid overtime.

Cheng Shuyi asked her, "SO? Did he send you home today?"

"Um."

"What should I do, Wen Wanyu? I'm a little fed up with you two."

Wen Wanyu was so angry that she laughed, "Hey, Cheng Shuyi, did you even listen to me? That's not the point at all!!"

"How is this not the point?" Cheng Shuyi discussed a lot with her and came to a conclusion: Perhaps, Xie Junyao was interested in her.

Wen Wanyu found it absurd. She and Xie Junyao had only known each other for a day, and their relationship was that of a business owner and a customer.

Cheng Shuyi disagreed: "There's a saying called love at first sight, sister. There's something really mysterious about chemistry. People meet a lot of people in their lives, but there are some people you just can't help but fall in love with the first time you see them. This chemistry isn't necessarily about how handsome or beautiful they are. It's about the feeling that's sparked in your heart the moment they appear in front of you."

"Fuck love. Go to sleep."

Wen Wanyu was dreading hearing Cheng Shuyi, the god of gossip, ramble on any more. She was beginning to believe Xie Junyao was interested in her. She was going to have a sleepless night tonight.
