The world treats me like a blade of grass, only you see me as verdant mountains!
Her lonely helplessness, only he felt pity for her; his confusion and hesitation, only she understood him. Eve...
She smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood perfectly.
After breakfast, Ye Wenyu saw Cai Wenchuan leading her out of the campus and was taken aback. She asked him, "Where are we going now?"
Cai Wenchuan smiled at her and said, "It's National Day now, and all the major shopping malls are having sales. I'll take you to buy some clothes."
Wen Yu shook her head and immediately said, "No need, I have clothes to wear. Besides, you just gave me a Canada Goose a while ago."
"One dress is never enough; girls need lots of clothes."
He looked at her with affection and insisted on taking her shopping for clothes.
Wen Yu saw that he was wearing a white shirt with a gray preppy sweater vest over it, and light blue jeans, which made his legs look incredibly long and straight. The simple clothes looked very good on him. She smiled and said, "Brother Wen, I want to learn from you. Simplicity is beauty."
Cai Wenchuan had no choice but to say to her, "Then come shopping with me. I want to buy Professor Xun some gifts. I can't go to his dinner empty-handed."
Ye Wenyu thought it made sense, so the two of them went shopping.
Although Wen Yu insisted that he not buy her clothes, Cai Wenchuan still bought her five new autumn outfits: a khaki trench coat, a black hoodie, a white sweater, and two pairs of jeans. The clothes were of very good quality and were from major brands in the mall. Cai Wenchuan had excellent taste. Wen Yu held the clothes in her hands, feeling both happy and uneasy. She was happy because he spoiled her so much, but uneasy because love should be equal. How could she repay him if she kept accepting his gifts?
The only way is to work multiple jobs and work hard to earn money to repay him with gifts.
In short, Cai Wenchuan treated Ye Wenyu like family, taking great care of her. Then, he bought Professor Xun two cartons of high-quality cigarettes and said to her with a smile, "Professor Xun loves smoking the most."
Ye Wenyu pondered for a moment and said, "Smoking is harmful to health, so it's not a good idea to give cigarettes as a gift."
Cai Wenchuan laughed and said, "It's alright, whenever his daughter wants to give him a gift, he always asks her to give him cigarettes—"
Haha, Wen Yu laughed out loud, thinking that Professor Xun was such a lovely old man.
Wen Chuan said playfully, "Besides, we're not his children."
Ye Wenyu smiled and had no choice but to give up.
After shopping, the two went to Professor Xun's house. Sure enough, when Cai Wenchuan presented the gift, the old professor was very happy. He held the cigarettes and looked at them repeatedly, reluctant to put them down. He said to Cai Wenchuan with a smile, "Oh, Xiao Cai, you are such a filial son! I am so happy to buy such good cigarettes for me to smoke."
Wen Yu still felt that smoking was not good, and tried to say, "Professor, we will only deliver this once. Smoking is harmful to your health."
Unexpectedly, Professor Xun said, "It's alright. I know that smoking causes cancer, but drinking tea can prevent cancer. I smoke one cigarette and then drink one cup of tea, and I was cured."
What? Wen Yu was speechless. The professor's logic was truly astounding.
The old professor said with a smile, "I went for a physical examination the day before yesterday. Apart from my lungs, everything else was not good. It can be seen that smoking is good for my health."
Wen Yu and Wen Chuan laughed, and the professor was amused by his own words. He laughed a few times before asking Cai Wen Chuan with concern, "Did you go back to see your parents during the National Day holiday? Remember to buy them some gifts."
Cai Wenchuan's smiling face stiffened. This change in expression raised questions in Ye Wenyu's mind. Why did his expression become so strange when his parents were mentioned? After the Cai family moved, she had never seen Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai again. In her childhood memories, they were both honest and kind people, and the family was harmonious and loving. Had something major happened to the Cai family after the two families separated?
Ye Wenyu tried hard to recall everything from her previous life, because in her previous life she did not want to have much contact with Cai Wenchuan after their reunion, so every time Cai Wenchuan came to see her and wanted to meet her, she refused.
The Lin family was a wealthy and powerful clan. She lived under Lin Tingfeng's wing, and it was difficult for even an army, let alone a poor university teacher, to get close to her. She had no idea what had happened to the Cai family after their two families separated.
"Come, little girl, what's your name?" While Ye Wenyu was lost in thought, Professor Xun's wife had already taken her hand affectionately and praised her lovingly, "The little girl is so pretty, Wenchuan, we like her very much."
Ye Wenyu's face flushed red; this was somewhat like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.
She stole a glance at Cai Wenchuan, who was smiling slightly, his face a little red.
She could only respectfully reply, "Teacher's wife, my name is Ye Wenyu, Ye as in tree leaf, Wen as in writing, and Yu as in beautiful jade."
"What a good name! You can tell from the name that the person comes from a good family." The teacher's wife liked both the person and the name very much.
Ye Wenyu glanced at Cai Wenchuan and said softly, "Brother Wen helped me choose it."
"Brother Wen—" The two old people exchanged a smile, and Ye Wenyu blushed for no reason. Calling him that in front of others was so cheesy, uh—
Cai Wenchuan also laughed. Seeing Wen Yu's face, which resembled a beautiful winter sunset, he knew the reason for her embarrassment and couldn't help but laugh until he coughed. He coughed twice with his fist clenched. Wen Yu was stunned by what she saw. Even when Wen-gege coughed, he looked so elegant and handsome. Wenchuan explained, "Teacher, teacher's wife, Xiao Yu and I grew up together. We used to be neighbors."
