Chapter 218 IF Scenario: Xixi VS Chenchen (9)
The merchant's mother opened her eyes wide, "Wow!"
She's starting to crave some sweet moments.
Xixi is so interesting, what if she finds Shang Chen too old-fashioned in the future?
I'm a little worried.
Shang Chen pushed open the door and saw Shang Mu with an honest face and Wen Xi with a mischievous grin.
Shang Mu: "Brother."
Shang Chen nodded slightly, regaining his authority as the eldest brother.
"Xixi, what are you doing here?"
Wenxi: "I came here specifically to find you; I have something I want to ask you."
"Come to my room."
Wenxi put down her guitar and casually handed two pieces of paper to Shang Chen.
"How long have you been running?" Wenxi asked curiously. "Why are your ears all red?"
Shang Chen paused as he took the paper.
He lied without batting an eye: "It's hot from running."
Wenxi frowned: "It's so hot?"
The weather is quite nice today.
Shang Chen closed the door behind him: "What do you want to ask me so late at night?"
Wenxi fell silent instantly.
It was as if she wasn't the one who had just been playing guitar, singing, and flirting with Shang Chen on the balcony.
Shang Chen looked at Wen Xi with a puzzled expression: "?"
Wenxi organized her thoughts before asking, "Shang Chen, our agreement is no longer valid."
Shang Chen's expression darkened slightly: "What?"
Wenxi: "The agreement to go to Peking University is no longer valid."
Shang Chen's expression became much more serious, and his breathing became heavier: "Why?"
"XiXi, I need a reasonable reason."
"You are not a person who breaks his word."
Wen Xi looked up, her clear eyes meeting Shang Chen's gaze: "Then I'll ask you a question too, and you'd better answer me honestly."
"you say."
"Shang Chen, where do you want to go to university?"
Shang Chen was slightly taken aback. "Did you overhear something from someone else...?"
"I don't believe what others say, I only believe you!" Wen Xi's eyes were firm as she looked at Shang Chen earnestly: "Shang Chen, I don't really want to go to Peking University."
"If you only chose Kyoto University because of that promise, then you're an idiot!"
She doesn't necessarily need Peking University, and if Shang Chen does too... then neither of them needs to be so fixated on Peking University!
Shang Chen stared intently at Wen Xi: "Wen Xi, don't you want me to go to Peking University?"
"Whether I want to go to Peking University or not is not important; what's important is where you want to go!"
Wenxi's thinking was very clear: "Shang Chen, I think you should listen to your heart and make a choice. Don't let the so-called agreement delay your future."
"I'm only a junior in high school now, and I don't even know what I'll study in college. If the subject I want to study is better abroad, I will definitely choose to study abroad."
"Shang Chen, a person who sticks to a promise and refuses to change it is a fool!"
After Wenxi finished speaking, Shang Chen remained silent.
The two stood facing each other, silently looking at one another, as if they were competing and neither would give in.
Wenxi could tell that Shang Chen was angry.
She quietly approached and tugged at Shang Chen's sleeve. "Shang Chen, are you angry?"
Shang Chen frowned: "No."
"Then why don't you say anything?"
"I'm thinking about what you said."
Wenxi immediately became more serious: "Then you need to think about it carefully!"
"Don't worry, even if you go abroad, I'll miss you and come visit you often," Wenxi said with a smile. "Anyway, we go on vacation abroad several times a year."
"It's just reading a book, not a matter of life and death, there's no need to be so serious."
Shang Chen: "You go back first, I'll think about it carefully."
Wenxi nodded: "I won't bother you anymore."
Seeing that Wenxi was about to leave, Shang Chen suddenly called out to her, "Xixi."
Wenxi, holding onto the door, turned back in confusion.
Shang Chen actually wanted to ask: if he went abroad, would she wait for him?
But Wenxi clearly didn't get it, and he didn't want to scare her.
The words that were about to come out of his mouth took a detour, Shang Chen said: "If we were in different places, we would have different lives and different circles..."
Wen Xi smiled brightly: "You want to ask me if I will distance myself from you?"
Wenxi asked directly and frankly.
Shang took a deep breath: "Then can you?"
"Aren't we living in different circles now?"
"That's different."
How can the distance between schools compare to the distance between countries within China and abroad?
Wenxi interrupted him: "No!"
Wenxi's face was still young, but her eyes were very firm: "No matter how far apart we are, you are different from everyone else in my heart!"
“We grew up together. You took care of me and looked after me since I was little... like a friend, like family.”
Wenxi's eyes were bright, and her smile was radiant: "Chenchen, I won't abandon you."
When Wenxi was four years old, she got lost in the Shang family garden and was crying sadly when she met Shang Chen.
Shang Chen coaxed her for a long time before she calmed down.
Wenxi was still in the stage of being stubborn and concerned about saving face, so she took the initiative to hold Shang Chen's hand.
The little girl said proudly, "Chenchen, I won't abandon you."
Don't worry!
Shang Chen smiled helplessly and took her hand to go home.
After many years, Wenxi said those words again.
This time, the little girl is serious.
Shang Chen believed it.
After Wenxi returned home, Shang Chen took the initiative to talk to his father for a long time.
In the end, Shang Chen went abroad to study business.
Wenxi was still at school when she received the news.
After she entered high school, she had more and more classes and less free time than before.
After school, she called Shang Chen: "When are you going abroad?"
Shang Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "This weekend."
"So fast?!"
"Um."
The merchants had actually wanted Shang Chen to go abroad for a long time, and everything had been arranged, just waiting for Shang Chen to nod in agreement.
Shang Chen initially refused, but later changed his mind.
The sooner he goes, the sooner he can come back.
Wenxi held her phone, suddenly feeling a little reluctant, "I'll come see you off!"
She had long been prepared for the business trip abroad.
I used to be very nonchalant, thinking that going domestically or internationally was just a matter of taking a plane.
But when it was time to part ways, I belatedly realized that I was reluctant to leave.
Shang Chen: "Okay."
Before Wenxi could even feel sad for two seconds, Shang Chen started talking to her about their future plans.
Ask Wenxi what she wants to study and which school she wants to go to...
Wenxi was so bothered by his questions that she couldn't sleep well that night, and even dreamed about taking the exam.
On the day Shang Chen left, Wen Xi went with him to see him off.
She pulled a letter out of her bag and gave it to Shang Chen.
Shang Chen frowned: "Someone wrote you a love letter again?"
Wenxi: "No, this is something I wrote for you."
The merchant's mother opened her mouth wide, wishing she could disappear on the spot.
Shang Mu exclaimed in astonishment, "Sister Xixi, you wrote a love letter to my brother?"
The woman quickly grabbed her, trying to stop her from talking.
Children this age are most easily embarrassed. What if Wenxi changes her mind and refuses to give it to Shang Chen?
Wenxi blushed: "It's not a love letter, don't overthink it."
Mrs. Shang grabbed Shang Mu and muttered, "That's right, don't talk nonsense!"
Your brother was disappointed.
Shang Chen was speechless as he watched his mother conjure up a dramatic scene in her mind.
He took the letter from Wenxi and patted her head.
Before he could speak, Wenxi had already said, "Study hard and strive to become a better version of yourself!"
"I can already guess what you're going to say."
As soon as Shang Chen opens his mouth, Wen Xi can recite what he's about to say.
Shang Chen: "..."
He's starting to doubt Wenxi's words.
She really won't forget him?
Wenxi smiled and said, "I will hand over any love letters I receive to you as soon as possible, call you immediately if anything happens, and I will definitely come to see you during my holidays."
Shang Chen finally had a chance to speak, "It's the same if I come back to see you."
Wenxi: "They're all the same."
Mrs. Shang smiled and said, "It's all the same, as long as we're together."
Wenxi and Shang Chen both looked at Shang's mother, one with a hint of doubt, the other silent.
Mrs. Shang: "..."
Is it alright if she stops talking now?
As they entered the ticket gate, Wenxi suddenly said to Shang Chen, "Shang Chen, I like outstanding people."
Just as Shang Chen was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and his gaze fell on Wen Xi.
His face had smooth lines and fair skin, but his eyes possessed a maturity and composure beyond his years.
Wenxi met his gaze, her smile bright: "Growing up is for separation, and separation is for reunion."
"Chenchen, we will both become better versions of ourselves after our reunion!"
In the bustling airport, Shang Chen looked up and quietly gazed at Wen Xi.
After a long while, a faint smile appeared on his serious face.
"Don't forget me."
His voice was so soft that Wenxi couldn't possibly hear it.
But Wenxi seemed to understand, tilting her head and giving him an OK sign.
Only after the plane took off did Shang Chen open the letter Wen Xi had sent.
Unfold the letter; a line of words is written neatly on it.
The world is vast, and we have seen too little of it. We need to venture into a wider world and become better.
