As a veteran novel enthusiast, Wen Shuqiao never imagined that one day she would also catch the wave of transmigrating into books. The bad news is that she transmigrated into a healing-themed '...
Chapter 474 Wen Zhixia x Shen Jiachen (Forty-six)
(Two in one)
The school anniversary lasted for three whole days, but time seemed to have been accelerated at twice the speed. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to normal classes and part-time jobs.
Wen Zhixia stretched his muscles and picked up his phone to check. Yu Mingxue had sent him a message half an hour ago, saying that he would not be returning to the dormitory for the next two days.
The eldest lady has a lot of things to do, so it is normal for her not to go back to the dormitory, but now he will take the initiative to tell her, which is enough to prove that the relationship between the two has improved a lot.
Wen Zhixia packed up her things and was about to leave when she was blocked by a male classmate she was not very familiar with.
The male student asked shyly, "Student Zhixia, do you have time? I want to talk to you."
After he finished speaking, Wen Zhixia noticed that there were other people secretly making a fuss nearby.
She understood, and said, "Let's go out and talk."
The male student sighed: "Okay!"
He smiled and followed Wen Zhixia out of the classroom. Today's classes had all ended and there were few people around the classroom at this moment.
Not long after the two of them left the teaching building, Wen Zhixia asked, "What do you want to say?"
The male classmate asked cautiously: "I just want to ask... do you have a boyfriend?"
Wen Zhixia said: "No."
The male student's eyes lit up instantly, and he spoke with more confidence: "Then can I treat you to a meal?"
Before Wen Zhixia had the chance to refuse, another male voice helped her refuse: "Sorry, she wants to have dinner with me."
Wen Zhixia looked back and saw that it was Shen Jiachen.
He was wearing a grey pullover and a baseball cap. He was standing next to Wen Zhixia. His large figure looked particularly oppressive.
The male classmate always felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. He looked at Wen Zhixia nervously again: "Well, can I make a date with you tomorrow?"
"She will also have dinner with me tomorrow." Shen Jiachen said with a smile, "She will also have dinner with me the day after tomorrow."
The male classmate didn't listen to Shen Jiachen's words. He just kept looking at Wen Zhixia. He took a deep breath and asked, "When are you free?"
"Sorry." Wen Zhixia said, "I have a part-time job and I'm very busy."
The male classmate looked away in disappointment and muttered, "It's just a look, is there any need to be so euphemistic?"
"What's wrong with looking at faces? You can't be angry at others for having faces just because you don't have them." Shen Jiachen said calmly, "People can't have double standards."
Wen Zhixia couldn't help but curled her lips.
After hearing this, the male classmate turned around and left in a hurry.
Shen Jiachen looked at his figure walking away, then drooped his lips and turned to look at Wen Zhixia.
Coincidentally, Wen Zhixia was also looking at him: "Why are you here?"
Shen Jiachen said: "I went back to school to do something, and I thought you were about to go to the coffee shop, so I sent you a message."
Sent a message?
Wen Zhixia took out her cell phone, and after the messages were buffered, Shen Jiachen's message popped up. Five minutes ago, that male classmate was talking to her.
Shen Jiachen asked: "Is that person also pursuing you?"
Wen Zhixia walked out, thinking of Yu Mingxue's words again, and replied: "I don't know, I haven't said a word to him yet."
Then Shen Jiachen appeared, and Wen Zhixia turned to look at him again: "But why are you here?"
"Didn't I just say that?" Shen Jiachen said, "I'll have dinner with you and take you to the store."
Although he spoke lightly, his eyes were always on Wen Zhixia, waiting for her reaction.
But Wen Zhixia didn't say anything to refuse as usual. She nodded and said, "Let's go."
Shen Jiachen:!
Why is Wen Zhixia so easy to talk to today? He always has a sense of unreality.
After Wen Zhixia took two steps, she found that Shen Jiachen had not caught up with her. She turned her head in confusion and saw that he was still standing there.
Wen Zhixia asked, "What are you doing standing there?"
Shen Jiachen came back to his senses and immediately followed, saying innocently, "Nothing."
He was just a little dizzy.
But he didn't forget the main thing: "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Wen Zhixia said: "It's all right."
"I see you like spicy food, how about we have Sichuan cuisine tonight?" Shen Jiachen had already thought of several Sichuan restaurants in his mind, and one of them had a great boiled fish.
Wen Zhixia said, "You can't eat spicy food, so why do you have to go to a Sichuan restaurant?"
"Yes." Shen Jiachen said, "I can eat spicy food now."
After knowing that Wen Zhixia likes spicy food, Shen Jiachen has been working hard behind the scenes for a long time, and has achieved considerable results recently. At least he will no longer break into sweat after taking a bite like he did that day.
"Then let's go." Wen Zhixia said, "Otherwise I'll be late."
Shen Jiachen followed her, reached out and picked up the backpack on her back, and said happily: "I'll help you."
Wen Zhixia was silent for a few seconds and silently took off her backpack.
Shen Jiachen: !!!
She really has me in her heart!!!
*
Shen Jiachen drove Wen Zhixia to a Sichuan restaurant not far from the coffee shop. He called to reserve a table while driving, so they could be seated when they arrived.
He handed the menu to Wen Zhixia: "Take a look, what do you want to eat?"
Wen Zhixia said: "Just order it."
Shen Jiachen did not refuse. According to his observation of the taste, he ordered boiled fish and stir-fried beef, both of which were spicy dishes. Finally, perhaps he thought of something, and silently added a dish of crab roe tofu to save some dignity for himself.
After ordering the food, Shen Jiachen naturally heated up the dishes and chopsticks for Wen Zhixia, showing full service.
Wen Zhixia watched his series of actions and suddenly laughed.
Shen Jiachen asked in confusion: "Why are you laughing suddenly?"
Wen Zhixia said: "I'm just surprised that you are so good at taking care of people."
Shen Jiachen also scalded his own bowl and chopsticks. He said, "When I took my brother out before, he was very particular. With more care, he will naturally learn it."
The last time they chatted briefly, Wen Zhixia thought for a moment and asked, "Does the school allow you to go to work so early?"
"I completed all the courses in my sophomore year." Shen Jiachen replied, "I just need to come back during the exam time and make sure my grades don't fall out of the top three."
"I see." Wen Zhixia said softly, "No wonder I rarely see you at school."
Logically, Shen Jiachen is tall and handsome, so he should have a place in the school, but Wen Zhixia has rarely seen any posts about him.
Shen Jiachen was pleasantly surprised: "So you are also paying attention to me."
Wen Zhixia didn't know why this matter came up, and just in time, the boiled fish she ordered arrived.
Shen Jiachen said: "The boiled fish here is delicious, I wonder if you will like it."
Wen Zhixia took a look and saw that everything was red.
Shen Jiachen had already picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish fillet and gently placed it in her bowl: "Try it quickly."
Wen Zhixia looked at the fish, and after a few seconds, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Shen Jiachen looked at her eagerly: "How is it?"
"It's delicious." Wen Zhixia smiled: "Can you really eat it? It's very spicy."
Shen Jiachen was relieved, and he also picked up some fish for himself: "Yes, of course."
He put the fish into his mouth without changing his expression. Hiss... why is it so spicy?
But when he raised his eyes and met Wen Zhixia's gaze, he said calmly: "Not bad."
But he saw Wen Zhixia lowering her head and smiling.
But Wen Zhixia quickly raised her head, her eyes curved into crescents, and then she raised her hand and poured him a glass of juice: "Don't be so stubborn, your face turned red all of a sudden."
Shen Jiachen felt a little embarrassed, but he still drank two sips of juice obediently. He said, "I can really eat spicy food."
"I didn't force you to eat spicy food, why do you have to eat spicy food?" Wen Zhixia didn't quite understand what he was thinking: "China is so big, there are so many cuisines, you don't have to force yourself to try flavors you don't like."
"I'm not forcing myself." Shen Jiachen's mouth cooled down: "I really feel... very happy to eat spicy food with you."
Wen Zhixia was stunned for a moment, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Shen Jiachen, why do you like me?"
"It was love at first sight." Shen Jiachen said openly, "When I saw you, I wanted to keep looking at you. And who can explain the matter of feelings clearly? Just enjoy the present moment."
"Don't you think it's too much for me to tease you like this?" Wen Zhixia tilted her head, her eyes shining like obsidian.
Shen Jiachen was touched by the cuteness, his Adam's apple moved up and down, but he couldn't move his eyes away.
"I have never thought about it this way." Shen Jiachen said, "Pursuing you is my personal behavior. Even if I have paid a lot for it, it has nothing to do with you. It is my own choice. Please don't feel pressured."
Wen Zhixia had asked a similar question before, but his answer was always the same.
He hoped that Wen Zhixia would feel relaxed and happy when she was with him.
Wen Zhixia took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's eat."
Shen Jiachen nodded: "Yeah!"
The two had a pleasant dinner. Just as Shen Jiachen said, it was a little spicy at first, but after getting used to it, he was completely unfazed.
The weather is getting colder now and it gets dark earlier.
Wen Zhixia glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was already half past five and it was getting a little dark.
Shen Jiachen said, "The coffee shop is on the street behind. It takes about ten minutes to walk there. Can I walk with you?"
Wen Zhixia hummed: "Okay, I just happen to have something to tell you."
Shen Jiachen became a little nervous. The last time they met, Wen Zhixia said she wanted to take a walk with him. Today he wanted to see her, so he couldn't help but come to find her.
Shen Jiachen tugged at the hem of his clothes. If he had known earlier, he would not have worn a sweatshirt today. He should have worn a suit to be more formal.
Wen Zhixia saw that he didn't move: "Let's go."
Shen Jiachen always wanders around for inexplicable reasons, and when he is called, he follows obediently.
What's the difference between this and the cute Samoyed...
Wen Zhixia knew that comparing people to dogs was incorrect and immoral, but Shen Jiachen looked too much like one.
Shen Jiachen quickly walked side by side with her, and the evening breeze gently passed through their bodies.
The corners of his mouth were curled up, and then he asked, "You work part-time every day, aren't you tired?"
"Of course I'm tired." Wen Zhixia thought for a moment and continued, "But there's nothing I can do."
"Hmm?" Shen Jiachen looked at her again: "What do you mean there is no way?"
"Because I have a younger sister to support." Wen Zhixia said slowly, "If I don't work part-time, we two sisters will be left with nothing."
Shen Jiachen frowned slightly: "Your parents?"
"My parents divorced a long time ago, and my dad remarried not long after the divorce." Wen Zhixia's tone did not change: "My sister and I have always lived with my mother. In the summer after my college entrance examination, she died of illness."
Shen Jiachen paused again, but Wen Zhixia took a step forward. She looked at the road ahead, but she was not surprised that Shen Jiachen would react like this.
She took a deep breath and said something similar to Mingxue. If the other party can't accept it, then just stop bothering him. This is also a solution.
After thinking it through in just a few seconds, Wen Zhixia turned around easily. He wanted to say something, but he froze in place the next second.
Tears welled up in Shen Jiachen's handsome eyes, and they fell from the corners of his eyes.
Wen Zhixia was stunned: "Why are you...crying?"
She had thought about it a thousand times, but she had never expected this scene to happen.
Shen Jiachen seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and quickly raised his hand to wipe away his tears: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
He wiped his tears, but it felt like he could never finish wiping them away.
In the end, it was Wen Zhixia who reacted first. She took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to him.
Shen Jiachen took the tissue, whispered thank you, and then quickly wiped his tears.
Wen Zhixia silently handed him another one, and Shen Jiachen also silently took it.
After sorting out his thoughts, Shen Jiachen said, "I'm sorry..."
"Why are you apologizing to me for no reason?" Wen Zhixia didn't know what expression to make, and finally she just forced a smile: "You didn't do anything wrong."
Shen Jiachen's palm was holding a tissue soaked with tears. His eyes fell on Wen Zhixia and he said softly, "No wonder."
Wen Zhixia raised her head slightly and looked at him: "What's the wonder?"
"No wonder you're so thin." Shen Jiachen raised his hand and poked her cheek with his index finger, which was very inappropriate. "You're so thin that there's no flesh on your face."
The skin that was poked by his fingertips felt slightly warm, but Wen Zhixia did not dodge and continued to look at him.
Shen Jiachen's eyes were a little sad, and he said: "Zhixia, you have worked really hard these years."
These past few years have been really hard.
Wen Zhixia never complained about the hardship, she handled everything on her own, but she was really tired sometimes.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'm used to it."
"Don't get used to it." Shen Jiachen said, "Zhixia, don't get used to hardship."
Wen Zhixia just smiled and said, "Why is the atmosphere so solemn? Alas, I'm going to be late for work. I'm leaving first. You don't have to see me off. I can find the way."
She waved her hand: "Bye."
After saying that, he turned around quickly and prepared to leave, but Shen Jiachen followed him closely.
She looked back and saw Shen Jiachen's expression was more determined than ever before. "I agreed to take you to work."
He was silently determined in his heart that he must keep Wen Zhixia healthy!
