Confidence comes from the trump card
Chen Xing returned to her room and found her piggy bank from the drawer. She had never touched the New Year's money she received every year. Adding the money she had saved on a daily basis, she counted it and found it was still enough to buy the plane ticket.
She had the money, but she still couldn't go. She hadn't turned 18 yet and was still a minor. How could she take a plane or stay in a hotel? Besides, Chen Xing had never traveled far away alone.
It takes three hours to fly from Xinghai City to Jing City. She was a little scared just thinking about it, but she had to take part in the school entrance examination.
On Monday morning, when Chen Xing arrived at the classroom, Shi Nannan was already there. She told Shi Nannan about her troubles and wanted her to help her think of a solution.
Just when Shi Nannan and Chen Xing were confused and couldn't think of a solution, Wen Yu suddenly appeared behind them.
"You want to go to Jing City alone? No, it's not safe."
Shi Nannan was startled. She covered her frightened heart and said, "Wen Yu, when did you come? There was no sound at all. It was so scary!"
Wen Yu ignored Shi Nannan and asked again, "Didn't anyone take you to Jing City to take the school exam?"
Chen Xing didn't want to hide it from Wen Yu, so he confessed, "My parents don't have time."
Wen Yu asked, "So you planned to go alone and never thought of asking me for help?"
Chen Xing looked at Wen Yu's excited expression. She had thought about asking Wen Yu for help, but she was afraid of bothering him. After all, it would take at least four days for him to come back.
Chen Xing said, "I've thought about it, but I'm afraid of wasting your time. However...please listen to what I have to say first."
Chen Xing was halfway through her words when she saw Wen Yu crossing his arms with a sharp look in his eyes, as if he was interrogating her, which made her afraid of saying something wrong.
Wen Yu said: "Well, go on, I'm listening."
Wen Yu was a little angry that Chen Xing always kept a clear distinction between them, but when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he felt that it was a good thing that Chen Xing did not rely on him. She had to learn to be independent.
Chen Xing saw Wen Yu's expression soften a little, and continued, "If there's really no other way, I'll ask you for help, because you can always help me solve any difficulties."
"You are an omnipotent card in my hands, so I don't want to use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary."
Wen Yu was quite satisfied with what Chen Xing said and said, "Since I am so important to you, of course I will help you solve all your problems. Don't be afraid of wasting money. This card of mine can be used countless times indefinitely."
Chen Xing's analogy is very appropriate. His omnipotent card is only effective on Chen Xing, and it is also a card that belongs to her alone.
Shi Nannan said: "How do you want to help Xingxing? I want to go too if I can."
When Shi Nannan heard that she could go to Beijing for at least four days, she couldn't sit still. Chen Xing was going to take an exam and she didn't have a deskmate, so she didn't want to come to school even more.
Wen Yu said, "I'll just go with her."
Chen Xing was very surprised and asked, "You'll go with me?"
Shi Nannan said: "Yes, Wen Yu is already eighteen years old. He is an adult and there are no restrictions on where he wants to go."
"I suddenly envy the lives of adults."
Chen Xing still felt bad and said, "Although you are an adult, this trip to Beijing will take at least four days. Aren't you afraid of something unexpected happening?"
Wen Yu said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you back safely. And with my aunt accompanying me, no matter what happens, I will definitely not let you miss the exam."
Chen Xing understood that Wen Yu was deliberately saying half of what he wanted to say and leaving the other half unsaid.
"Wen Yu, did you do this on purpose? Can't you just explain yourself more clearly?"
Wen Yu smiled and said, "I've made it very clear. My aunt is also going to organize the students taking the exam to go to Beijing together. She will take the other students, and I will take you. Isn't that good?"
Chen Xing clenched his fists and said, "That's not what you just said."
Ever since Wen Yu transferred to their class, Chen Xing felt more and more that Wen Yu was like the former Shen Xuyang. He always said things to tease her deliberately and made her angry. His calm personality became a little more mischievous, and he felt more popular. The original feeling of loneliness was gone.
Wen Yu smiled and took out breakfast from his bag and gave it to Chen Xing. "Okay, don't be angry. Everything has been resolved. Just focus on preparing for the exam these few days. Don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of it for you."
Chen Xing took the breakfast and asked in surprise, "You can also make hand-pulled pancakes?"
Wen Yu said with a little pride, "What's so difficult about this? I made the crust myself, so it's definitely healthier and tastier than what you'll find out there."
Just as Wen Yu was talking, Shi Nannan felt hungry. She had eaten breakfast before coming here, but she really couldn't resist Wen Yu's cooking skills. After all, she had been thinking about Wen Yu's sandwiches for half the winter vacation.
Wen Yu took out another one and handed it to Shi Nannan without saying anything.
Shi Nannan asked, "Is there still a share for me?"
Wen Yu gave an ambiguous smile and said, "How could yours be missing? You can sleep a little longer at home from now on."
When Shi Nannan heard this, she felt that her breakfast would be settled in the future, which was exactly what she wanted. Why not take it for free?
Shi Nannan didn't resist at all. She took it and took a bite. Looking at the rich filling inside, she thought it must be delicious.
But the first time she took a bite, she tasted an unknown foreign object. The sound became crisper and crisper as she chewed, and it didn't seem like something edible.
Shi Nannan spat out a piece of eggshell from her mouth, "Why is there still an eggshell?"
Wen Yu said, "Oh~ Maybe I didn't pay attention this morning. I won't do that next time."
Chen Xing immediately understood Wen Yu's evasive eyes and his vague answers.
How could Wen Yu, such a meticulous and serious person, make a mistake? This only means that these two breakfasts were not made by the same person.
The person behind this really has good intentions, and he has to do it secretly.
Chen Xing saw through it but didn't say anything.

Soon it was the day that Chen Xing was going to Beijing. She had asked for leave from her class teacher on Thursday, and Wen Yu went with her. Chen Xing didn't know what reason Wen Yu used to ask for leave, after all, it was difficult to ask for leave in the third year of high school.
When Chen Xing returned home from school on Thursday, she did not tell Gao Yamei about going to Beijing for the exam. She only told Chen Hai. Chen Hai gave Chen Xing some extra money and asked her to be careful on the road and to call him more often.
Chen Xing packed his luggage and went to bed early.
Early Friday morning, just as the sky was getting light, she got up and went out.
Wen Yu insisted on picking up Chen Xing, and Chen Xing did not refuse. They went to the studio together, gathered with the students who were about to take the exam, and set off for the airport.
After a three-hour flight, they arrived in Beijing at noon.
This is Chen Xing’s first time in Beijing. He feels full of curiosity about this strange city and likes it very much.
“I really hope I can come here to attend college in a few months.”
Wen Yu said: "Yes, you will definitely be admitted to Jinghua University."
Chen Xing looked at Wen Yu and replied with a smile, "You too, we went to college together in this city."
Wen Yu smiled but said nothing. He lowered his eyes to look at his hands, praying to God in his heart if he could give him some more time.
Ji Wenyin booked a hotel for the students in advance, and they took a car directly to the hotel to settle down after leaving the airport.
The hotel only has two people per room, and Chen Xing's room is right across from Wen Yu.
After lunch, Chen Xing sent Chen Hai a report that he had arrived at the hotel safely.
Afterwards, Chen Xing sorted out his things and materials for tomorrow's exam in his room. He took a nap because he was tired.
When it was almost time for dinner, Wen Yu sent her a message asking her out.
When Chen Xing went out, Wen Yu was waiting for her outside the door.
"Have you rested enough? Let's go to the restaurant for dinner?"
Chen Xing took a nap in the afternoon and now he is full of energy and vitality.
Chen Xing nodded and said, "Okay."
The hotel they stayed in provided three meals a day and had a great location, close to the city center and in a bustling area.
Chen Xing and Wen Yu had a simple meal, and Wen Yu asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
This is what Chen Xing thought in her heart. Originally, Shi Nannan insisted on coming with her, but she really had no reason to ask for leave, so she could only spend the time alone in school in a bad mood. However, she asked Chen Xing to bring her a gift, so she still had some hope.
Wen Yu and Chen Xing didn't walk far. Near the hotel was a busy commercial street with many people coming and going. It was even more prosperous than the night in Xinghai City.
Chen Xing likes this city very much. He feels relaxed just walking around and wants to take away any rare items he sees.
Wen Yu lowered his eyes to glance at Chen Xing, who was always smiling beside him, "Do you really like this place so much?"
Chen Xing said: "I really like this city. Although there is a strange atmosphere everywhere, I think it is what I like."
Wen Yu smiled with a doting look, as long as she liked it.
Chen Xing walked along, smiling all the way. When he saw a jewelry store, he subconsciously pulled Wen Yu's arm and said, "Let's go shopping there?"
Wen Yu turned his head and nodded, then took Chen Xing's hand and walked into the jewelry store that was full of dazzling items.
When Chen Xing saw the little gadgets on the shelves, his eyes were full of love and he let go of Wen Yu's hand.
Wen Yu raised his lips and looked at Chen Xing with shining eyes and shook his head slightly. It was true that girls would ignore the people around them when they saw something they liked.
"Wen Yu, come here quickly and help me see which color looks best?"
Chen Xing did not ignore Wen Yu, she always remembered him.
Wen Yu walked over and saw Chen Xing holding a crystal ball in each hand, one with a pink ocean and the other with a blue sky, waving in front of him.
In Wen Yu's eyes, Chen Xing was like a blooming flower, dreamy and ethereal, as if possessing the most beautiful light.
"Wen Yu, I'm talking to you. Do you hear me?"
Chen Xing looked at the one on the left and then at the one on the right, but she couldn't choose the best-looking one.
Wen Yu came back to his senses, took the blue crystal ball from Chen Xing's hand, and said, "I think you prefer blue. The blue sky is vast and free."
Chen Xing was surprised when he heard Wen Yu's words and said, "You still understand me better. I like blue too."
"But I wanted to buy it for Nan Nan. She's been obsessed with crystal balls lately and has been asking me to go buy one for her, but I never had the time. This store just happened to have one."
After listening to Chen Xing's words, Wen Yu looked at the crystal ball in Chen Xing's hand and said, "Pink looks good too. I think she will like it."
