In the fifth year of Yongyan, the emperor orders the grand selection.
Wen Wanyu is the most outstanding in appearance among this...
Chapter 132 Modern Extra (6)
Chapter 12: Care
Due to the injury on his hand, Wen Wanyu only bought a few skewers of oden to fill his stomach.
About half an hour later, Wen Wanyu began to regret her decision. She shouldn't have said she wanted to try it with Xie Junyao on impulse. Now that she's sober, she feels embarrassed and regretful.
When Wen Wanyu thought of the hug just now and the sentence "Give your boyfriend a chance to take you home," she couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast.
She was eating oden skewers inconveniently at the entrance of a convenience store. Several medical staff passing by seemed to glance at her consciously or unconsciously, which made Wen Wanyu very embarrassed. She touched the corners of her mouth and found no soup. She took out a makeup mirror from her bag and found that her makeup was not coming off.
Why do you have to look at her twice? Haven't you seen patients eating oden?
When the fourth nurse passed by and kept looking back at her, Wen Wanyu finally couldn't help but ask, "Hello, is there something on my body or face?"
The nurse smiled sheepishly and said, "No, no."
"Then why...you all seem to be looking at me?"
If she is narcissistic, please let her be struck by lightning.
All? It seemed that she was the only one who was responsible for the gossip arrangement, so she felt relieved. The nurse said gently, "Sorry, we are just too curious. We all wanted to come and see Dr. Xie's girlfriend."
"Ah?" Wen Wanyu was shocked. "How did you know?"
Did news spread so quickly? She and Xie Junyao were together for only half an hour!
"Hey, hey." The nurse only said that they had a small group chat, and that there were photos of her and Xie Junyao in the group. And when a doctor asked her if she was Xie Junyao's girlfriend, Xie Junyao did not deny it.
The nurse added that they were really curious. They were very curious about who could have plucked such a high-ranking flower like Dr. Xie.
During a break, the nurse told her a lot about Xie Junyao's time in the hospital. For example, Xie Junyao was becoming a "big star" in the orthopedics department of Nanning Hospital, with many beautiful young women and women coming to Nanning Hospital specifically for him. Xie Junyao received so many love letters and flowers that the lounge couldn't even hold them all. During rounds, the elderly men and women would pull him aside to introduce him to girlfriends...
All in all, it's very gripping and interesting.
It turns out that he is so popular. Wen Wanyu is even more confused about what Xie Junyao sees in her.
The nurse seemed to see through her concerns and comforted her, "You're so beautiful! I declare that I've successfully gone from being a Dr. Xie fanatic to a fan of you and Dr. Xie together. Don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye on Dr. Xie!"
Wen Wanyu lowered her head and smiled sheepishly, "Thank you, but it's okay. Xie Junyao will take care of it. Besides, you're so cute too."
The nurse was so happy to be praised that they exchanged WeChat messages...
Before she knew it, Xie Junyao had already driven to the door of the convenience store. The car door was opened and someone walked up behind her. She didn't even notice it until she heard the voice of "Wanyu."
Wen Wanyu was shocked and turned around to meet his smiling eyes.
A gentle breeze blew, lightly lifting her hair. With her brows half covered, her eyes were deep, yet gentle. After greeting the nurse, Xie Junyao lowered his head and asked her, "What did you eat?"
"Here." Wen Wanyu pointed to the cup of oden, "Oden, just a few skewers." Worried that he wouldn't let her eat it, she added this sentence.
He looked at her with gentle eyes, "Okay, now I'll take you to dinner."
The nurse looked like they were torturing a dog. It was only in front of his girlfriend that Dr. Xie showed such a gentle side. So sweet! The couple she supports is the sweetest, and I won't accept any rebuttal.
"Okay." Wen Wanyu stood up and Xie Junyao lent him a hand.
After saying goodbye to the nurse, she said goodbye with tears in her eyes. Xie Junyao offered to treat her to a meal next time. This was probably to thank her for keeping his girlfriend company.
Xie Junyao opened the passenger door and helped her sit in. He adjusted her seat, and their breaths intertwined. If they got a little closer, they could kiss.
Wen Wanyu was startled when he suddenly leaned over. It turned out that he was going to fasten her seat belt. She subconsciously turned her face away.
Well... she had a dirty mind.
Xie Junyao chuckled. He must have realized it!
After driving out of the hospital, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Wen Wanyu was still immersed in the embarrassment just now, and said sullenly, "It's all right."
"It will be all right?"
"Um……"
"Then take you to eat spicy fish head?" Xie Junyao turned his head and glanced at her.
"Can."
The traffic light turned red, and the car slowly stopped. Xie Junyao raised his hand and patted her head. "Are you okay? Eat a light diet during this period."
He was teasing her on purpose...it turned out Xie Junyao had this side to him. Wen Wanyu laughed, "Oh. I see."
The red light was a bit long, so Xie Junyao took the initiative to speak, not letting the atmosphere in the car become tense. "What were you talking about with her just now? She seemed very happy."
"We're talking about you." Wen Wanyu gave him a mischievous smile.
Xie Junyao laughed, "Me? Then I'd like to listen carefully. Is it good or bad?"
Wen Wanyu teased her, but her sense of humor was too low, and she burst into laughter, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. "Doctor Xie, be more confident! How could anyone say something bad about you? You're the 'big star' of the Orthopedics Department, the ideal son-in-law for many grandparents and the ideal boyfriend for beautiful girls."
The light turned green. The car started slowly. From an angle she couldn't see, Xie Junyao's eyes lit up with a smile. "Are you teasing me?" In fact, he was quite happy. She was willing to joke with him, which meant that she was gradually reducing her nervousness.
"Ah," Xie Junyao sighed pretentiously, "There's nothing I can do.
My girlfriend is the only one here.”
Suddenly, Wen Wanyu's face turned red and half of her face was buried in her coat.
Xie Junyao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Since you don't know what to eat, why don't you come to my house and I'll cook."
"good."
The hospital was very close to his home. Wen Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief when she left the hot and cramped car and slowly followed him.
Xie Junyao stopped and asked, "Are you following me?"
"No!" Wen Wanyu shook his head in surprise.
Xie Junyao smiled and pulled her along, "Then walk on the same level with me. Girlfriend."
"Got it, boyfriend." Wen Wanyu chuckled. She had also won a game.
Chapter 13: Care
Xie Junyao did not let go of her hand throughout the journey. He held her wrist at the beginning and then clasped their fingers together. Wen Wanyu did not refuse. These actions are very normal in a relationship.
This was her first time at Xie Junyao's house. Xie Junyao took out a pair of women's slippers from the shoe cabinet, which were the Little White Rabbit style.
After placing it in front of her, he added, "This was bought by my mother."
"Oh! Auntie, you have such good taste." Wen Wanyu also replied politely.
As soon as the words fell, a figure emerged from the kitchen. This startled Wen Wanyu, and she took two steps back with Xie Junyao, thinking that there was a thief in the house...
Xie Junyao guessed that she must have been frightened, and looked at her gossipy mother helplessly: "Mother..."
Wen Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, her hand still on his arm, and whispered, "It's Auntie."
So scary...
Yang Yuanwan smiled and said, "Did I scare you? Didn't Xie Junyao tell you that I was at home?"
"No." Wen Wanyu glanced at Xie Junyao.
"Mom, please continue cooking. I'll help you later."
"Okay." Yang Yuanwan gave him a look that showed she understood everything. She should be more conscious and not disturb the world of her son and future daughter-in-law.
Xie Junyao helped Wen Wanyu to the living room: "I forgot to say it."
Wen Wanyu sat on the sofa stiffly, glanced at the kitchen, and after making sure that his aunt hadn't followed him out, he whispered, "So when it comes to eating at your house, it's not you who cooks, but your aunt."
Xie Junyao corrected: "I cook with my mother..."
Wen Wanyu didn't quite believe it and raised her eyebrows: "You really can cook? Is that true?"
While wrapping an orange, Xie Junyao said, "I don't look like I can cook?"
"To be honest." Wen Wanyu shook her head: "It really doesn't look like it. And when Auntie came out of the kitchen just now, I thought you were lying to me."
Xie Junyao chuckled.
I put the peeled orange in her hand and said, "Eat some fruit first to fill your stomach. I'll go help mother."
Before going to the kitchen, he was very considerate and turned on the TV for her, and moved a pillow behind her waist so that she could be more comfortable.
Wen Wanyu stared at the TV and smiled foolishly. Maybe he thought of himself as a giant baby who could do nothing?
I put half of the orange in my mouth. It was sweet, very sweet.
In the kitchen.
Seeing him come in, Yang Yuanwan turned off the fire and pointed at the cabbage on the table: "Just wash the vegetables."
Xie Junyao rolled up his sleeves and washed the vegetables.
Yang Yuanwan supported herself on the table with one hand and smiled meaningfully, "Is she your girlfriend now?"
Xie Junyao was puzzled, "How did you know?"
He hasn't said it yet.
Yang Yuanwan shrugged proudly: "Ever since you came home, the smile on your face hasn't faded. Your whole body is filled with excitement. I guess you caught up with her."
"I guessed it right. Good job, son, you're pretty good."
Xie Junyao continued to wash the vegetables: "We were together just now."
Yang Yuanwan continued cooking and muttered, "I don't know why the girl fell in love with a taciturn guy like you."
"Mother…!"
Is she my biological mother?
The atmosphere at the table was very good. Xie Junyao and his mother were very caring towards Wen Wanyu, constantly picking up food for her. Knowing that he had a broken hand, they even specially cooked a bowl of white radish, ginseng and bone soup. This caused Wen Wanyu to overeat...
After dinner, Yang Yuanwan handed over some yogurt to help with digestion. "There's not a lot of work at school. It's not very busy. I have to cook anyway, so it doesn't matter if I cook for one person or two. Wanyu, come here for all three meals a day."
Wen Wanyu was flattered. Even her mother had never cared about her so much. She waved her hand and said, "No, no, no. Auntie, I can do it on my own. I just hurt my hand. I'll get used to it. It's too much trouble for you."
Yang Yuanwan glanced at Xie Junyao and said, "How can this be a problem? You are Xie Junyao's girlfriend now. Our relationship is different now, right? It's okay!"
Xie Junyao also said: "Sometimes the hospital is busy and I can't eat three meals a day at home. You coming here to eat is just the right opportunity for me to accompany my mother."
"Yes, yes, Wanyu, don't refuse."
"Okay then, thank you for troubling me, Auntie."
Yang Yuanwan clapped her hands happily: "Well, what's the trouble? I'm so happy that you can come and have dinner with me."
Before sending her home, Xie Junyao even took her fingerprint and told her she could come anytime in the future.
Xie Junyao waited until the lights in her house came on before driving off. He slumped down on the sofa, his tiredness fading. Things had been really bad lately; the matter with the man who assaulted her hadn't been resolved yet. "White Tea Pure Joy" would have to be handed over to Shuyi for the time being.
Later, I collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was already 12 o'clock in the morning. There were many missed calls, all from my mother.
There are also a few messages from my mother.
Mother: I heard you hurt your hand? Is it serious? Why didn't you tell me? Seriously.
[Mother]: Why didn't you answer the phone? Are you angry with me?
Mother: Mom, I also think your flower shop doesn't need all that much work. You know, not only do you have to be busy from morning till night, but you'll also get hurt if you encounter a poorly behaved customer.
Wen Wanyu sighed and replied, "I know my limits."
She loves the flower shop and her job. For years, she didn't care about other people's opinions. But why did the people closest to her always deny her interests and hobbies?
After Xie Junyao learned the details of Wen Wanyu's injury that day, he called the police, and the man was detained for five days for causing trouble.
White Tea Qing Huan hired a new male employee, so Wen Wanyu could now rest and recuperate.
In the next few days, Wen Wanyu ate almost three meals a day at Xie Junyao's home. Xie Junyao's mother was very enthusiastic and gentle to her. More importantly, his mother admired her profession very much.
The primary task of 'White Tea Qinghuan' was given to Cheng Shuyi. Now she only needed to do simple tasks such as checking orders and settling bills.
Chapter 14: Kissing
'White Tea Pure Joy'
The rain outside the window had been falling for over half an hour. Xie Junyao had been working overtime for three consecutive days, so they hadn't seen each other for three or four days.
Wen Wanyu knew Xie Junyao's busy schedule and the special nature of his work, so she didn't bother him with WeChat messages or phone calls. She just occasionally felt a little... unhappy.
The drizzle came and went, repeatedly. Under the eaves and on the sidewalks, there were puddles everywhere mixed with car exhaust. There was always a lingering damp smell in the air that made people feel annoyed.
Cheng Shuyi posed for photos for nearly half an hour with an autographed photo that came from nowhere.
Cheng Shuyi held the autographed photo in his hand, unable to get enough of it, grinning foolishly. He glanced at the sky outside, which was gray with a hint of blue.
Cheng Shuyi glanced at her and asked, "Is Xie Junyao still off work? Aren't you going to Xie Junyao's house for dinner?"
Wen Wanyu sat on the high chair. "He's been busy these days, and Auntie's been busy too. There's a lot going on at school. I'll just stay here for a while."
Cheng Shuyi was puzzled. "Didn't he send you a WeChat message or call you to tell you?"
“No…”
"He only sends me WeChat messages right before he's almost done with work, explaining what he did that day, but by then it's already around midnight and I'm already asleep." That's like a whole day without any communication. Wen Wanyu was listless, propping his head up with his uninjured arm, looking a little lost.
She suggested that she wanted to give it a try with Xie Junyao. There was some anger and impulse in it, but it was more of her subjective idea.
So she thought that they should be like ordinary couples and do what ordinary couples would do, such as dating, watching movies, eating... However, after being together for almost half a month, they still didn't look like a real couple.
Cheng Shuyi sat over and comforted her, "Doctors are all very busy."
"I know."
Cheng Shuyi placed the autographed photo in an A5 card album. She finally saw the signature: Gu Ci, one of Cheng Shuyi's favorite celebrities. She heard Cheng Shuyi say, "This autographed photo was bribed by Xie Junyao. Did you know? That day, he even told me all his personal information, including how many houses and cars he owned, and his family situation. He told me all this to reassure me. He wanted me to believe he wasn't a liar, that he was serious."
Wen Wanyu was moved: "Why didn't you tell me? He didn't tell me either." The two of them became allies.
Rather than vows of love, she is often more moved by the way adults solve problems.
Cheng Shuyi said seriously, "Xie Junyao is willing to tell me this. This shows that he is not afraid of you knowing it at all. Although you have known each other for a short time, he is really sincere."
"I know." Wen Wanyu said with a smile.
Cheng Shuyi muttered, "I thought you were breaking up with him."
Wen Wanyu smiled and said, "No, we've been together for a few days. I won't act crazy, I just get a little emotional occasionally."
As soon as I finished speaking, the WeChat notification sounded.
【Xie-】: Come out.
Cheng Shuyi glanced at it and said, "Oh my, he asked you to leave."
"..." Wen Wanyu glared at her. Why was she still peeking at other people's chat history?
【Not sleeping at night】:?
Xie: At the entrance of Baicha Qinghuan. Let's have dinner together.
【Not sleeping at night】: Then wait for me!
Wen Wanyu practically jumped off the high chair, unable to conceal her surprise. However, she felt she was showing too much excitement, so she calmly adjusted her bangs and said, "Shuyi, I'm going to eat first."
Cheng Shuyi's gossipy eyes fell on her and he winked at her vigorously: "Go ahead. Eat well."
"I'm so annoyed by you." Wen Wanyu couldn't help but pat her.
I opened the door. A familiar Bentley SUV stopped at the door, its hazard lights on.
The soft and fine rain came in my face, as light as some kind of cold gas.
Just as she stood up, a voice from the right frightened her to death. Wen Wanyu covered her chest and subconsciously took two steps back: "You're not in the car?"
Looking up, I saw Xie Junyao with sparse eyebrows, bright eyes, outstanding temperament, and a straight nose. His thin gold-rimmed glasses reflected the warm light above his head. He was wearing a thin dark gray coat and walked towards me with a calm gait.
There were stars in his dark eyes, as if they were fixed on her. "Yeah. I just bought a cake."
Wen Wanyu lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "What cake?"
“Strawberry Basque Cake.”
"How do you know I like strawberries and Basque?" Wen Wanyu said in surprise.
Her eyes twinkled, with a lovely confusion. Xie Junyao raised his hand and touched her head: "Cheng Shuyi said so."
"...Okay." Wen Wanyu raised her clear eyes, "Thank you, Doctor, you are so honest."
Xie Junyao's cool fingertips gently stroked her face, and his other large palm quietly grasped her small, white hand hanging by her side. "I've been very busy these past few days. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you."
Wen Wanyu shook her head: "It's okay. I understand."
"Give me a hug." His voice was a little hoarse as he held her in his arms, his chin resting against her hair, gently rubbing it. "Thank you, Boss Wen, for understanding. No matter how busy I am in the future, I will always make time to be with you."
"Okay." Wen Wanyu put her arm around his waist. The faint, cool woody scent of his body lingered around her. She liked the smell of him; it was clean and refreshing.
The door was opened, and Cheng Shuyi's words "Oh my god," interrupted the affectionate atmosphere between the two.
Wen Wanyu practically jumped out of his arms and looked at Cheng Shuyi speechlessly: "What are you doing? Why are you so startled?"
Cheng Shuyi stared at them calmly, crossed his arms, and stuck out his tongue. "Come on, who knew you two were here? If you want to show your affection, go somewhere where there's no one, okay?"
Wen Wanyu felt embarrassed as if she had been exposed: "Why did you come out?"
"I'm out to get takeout." Cheng Shuyi picked up the takeout box from the shelf by the door, put his fingers together, and returned to 'White Tea Qinghuan': "Don't bother me, don't bother me, you guys continue."
Xie Junyao said with a smile: "Let's get in the car first."
"good."
After opening the passenger door and helping her sit in, Xie Junyao walked around to the driver's seat.
Wen Wanyu pulled the seat belt with some effort, and then leaned over to help her. Wen Wanyu couldn't help but say, "I can do it myself, and it's been more than half a month."
"I know. But now I'm here, you can rely on me." Xie Junyao rubbed her head.
The corners of her lips lifted unconsciously, and her tone at this moment was a coquettish one that she herself did not realize: "You have messed up my hair."
A dark glint flashed across Xie Junyao's eyes. He unbuckled his seatbelt and, when she was completely defenseless, pecked her soft lips lightly. His voice was low and lingering, "I'll be more careful next time."
"Let's go."
Three seconds later, Wen Wanyu finally seemed to react. Her face turned red at a visible speed, and she bit her lip, as if the only sound in her ears was her beating heart, which she couldn't calm down for a long time.
How could he! Kiss her secretly!
Well, it’s not really a secret kiss.
