Chapter 215 IF Scenario: Xixi VS Chenchen (6)
After flipping through two pages, Wenxi felt bored and rested her chin on her hand.
"Actually, I don't really enjoy watching it that much, but all my classmates watch it, so I wanted to figure out what makes it interesting?"
This was a statement made by Shang Chenxin.
Wenxi's thoughts are becoming more and more mature.
Even though she skipped two grades, she was still more calm and rational than her classmates.
Her hobbies are mostly sports, not reading novels.
Shang Chen: "Did you figure it out?"
Wen Xi shook her head, her gaze shifting from the book to Shang Chen's face, a smile playing on her lips.
Wenxi asked curiously, "Does your school have a school heartthrob?"
After a moment of silence, Shang Chen said, "No."
This topic made it difficult for him to continue the conversation.
Wenxi laughed and said, "Our school does have one, but it's a private ranking among the students."
Shang Chen frowned: "You're not focusing on your studies, you're just researching this stuff?"
Wenxi: "Life should include other wonderful things besides studying."
"Ranking the school's most handsome guy?"
Shang Chen expressed his incomprehension.
What's so exciting about that?
Wenxi knew that Shang Chen was an 'old-fashioned' person, so she didn't argue with him.
Wen Xi tilted her head and looked at Shang Chen, then suddenly laughed.
Shang Chen was puzzled and stared at her quietly with his dark eyes.
Their eyes met.
A sly glint flashed in Wen Xi's eyes.
"Chenchen, you're so good-looking, you're sure to be voted the school's most handsome guy."
Since Wenxi became sensible, she has rarely called Shang Chen by his nickname.
She usually calls Chenchen with a teasing tone.
Wenxi pointed to the description in the book, "Wearing a white shirt, with pale skin and thin, tightly pursed lips..."
Her gaze fell on Shang Chen's lips, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"Chenchen, your lips are so red!"
"..."
Wenxi: "You can tell at a glance that you have plenty of energy and blood."
Shang Chen: "...Let me see the book."
Wenxi honestly handed the book to Shang Chen, who took it and put it in his desk. "Confiscated."
Wenxi: "!"
This move really surprised Wenxi.
Wen Xi: "Shang Chen, you have no martial ethics!"
Shang Chen calmly replied, "This is called 'all's fair in war'!"
"snort!"
"Focus on your homework."
Wenxi said "oh" and picked up her pen to focus on her homework.
She had only written two words when she suddenly looked up and said, "Shang Chen, if your school has a competition for the most handsome guy, I'll definitely vote for you!"
Shang Chen's earlobes were flushed, but his face was unusually serious, revealing no clue whatsoever.
Who did you vote for at your school?
Wen Xi: "Nobody voted."
"I can't even finish my homework every day, how can I have time to pick a school heartthrob?"
Wenxi was just teasing Shang Chen on purpose.
After finishing their homework, the two went home together.
Passing by the riverside park, Wenxi suddenly asked curiously, "Shang Chen, has anyone written you love letters?"
Shang Chen stopped and looked at Wen Xi with a serious expression.
Wenxi felt uneasy under his gaze and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
She was just asking a question; she didn't do anything terribly wrong, did she?
Shang Chen stared at Wen Xi with his dark eyes and said seriously, "Xi Xi, you're showing signs of early romance."
He was affirming, not questioning.
Wen Xi: "?!!"
She's showing signs of early romance; how come she doesn't know it?
Shang Chen seemed to see right through her: "Even if you don't have it now, you will soon."
"Where's the evidence?"
Shang Chen: "You wouldn't have asked me this kind of question before."
He reached out to Wenxi: "Where's the love letter?"
Wenxi looked completely bewildered and obediently took out five love letters from her schoolbag and handed them over.
How did you know I had love letters?
"You only ask me about the school heartthrob selection when you read romance novels and come across the school heartthrob."
"If you didn't receive a love letter, why would you ask me about it?"
Wenxi: "Shang Chen, you can change your name to Sherlock Holmes Chen."
Although she hadn't planned to hide it from Shang Chen, Wen Xi didn't expect him to guess so quickly.
Shang Chen pursed her lips and accepted the colorful love letters.
I counted them; there were five letters in total.
It wasn't just one or two letters!
Shang Chen's expression grew increasingly serious, and he exuded an aura of authority.
Wen Xi calmly replied, "Don't worry, I've already rejected them."
"I haven't opened these love letters either."
Shang Chen: "You've already rejected them, so why did you accept the love letter?"
Wenxi: "My mother said I can keep it as a souvenir."
Shang Chen was surprised to learn that Aunt Zhou already knew about this.
After a long pause, he finally managed to utter two words: "Nonsense!"
Wenxi: "Old-fashioned!"
Shang Chen was taken aback. "What did you say?"
“I’d say you’re an old-fashioned person.” Wen Xi looked young, but spoke with a mature air.
"A few love letters, it's not a big deal."
Wenxi didn't understand: "People our age are always a bit restless during puberty, just ignore it."
Although she is young, she has a very open mind.
"My life is so colorful, and I have so many things to do. How could I possibly let one or two love letters hold me back?"
Shang Chen: "..."
Wenxi's words made a lot of sense, and he couldn't refute them.
Wen Xi reached out to Shang Chen: "Give me the love letter."
"Didn't you reject them all?"
“I can leave behind a book as a memento, to commemorate my youth.” Wenxi added, fearing Shang Chen might misunderstand, “That’s what my mother said too.”
Shang Chen said sternly, "No, confiscate it!"
After putting the love letter away, he unconsciously quickened his pace.
Wenxi followed behind, completely bewildered.
"Shang Chen, are you angry?"
"I've already told you I have no intention of dating early. My parents know this, so don't overthink it."
Shang Chen stopped and turned to look at Wen Xi.
Wenxi also stopped in her tracks in time.
He looked down at the girl who was half a head shorter than him, and felt a tightness in his chest.
"Wenxi, do you remember what you promised me?"
Wenxi nodded: "Study hard, and try to get into Peking University in the future."
When Wenxi went to the international school, Shang Chen was worried that it would interfere with her studies, so he made a promise with her.
Three years later, the two of them will go to Peking University together.
A summer breeze blew from the riverbank, and sunlight fell on the girl's fair face, like sparkling fragments of light.
Shang Chen suddenly realized that the little tail that used to follow him around had grown up.
She became radiant, intelligent, and beautiful, and was very popular.
Shang Chen said earnestly, "Xi Xi, I don't want these things to interfere with your studies."
"No way," Wenxi said generously. "Seeing how serious you are, I don't want the love letter anymore, you can have it!"
Shang Chen pressed his advantage, saying seriously, "It's not just these."
Wenxi: "?"
"From now on, I will hand over any love letters I receive."
Wenxi: "..."
Why does Shang Chen seem to be so controlling, like a dean of students?
Shang Chen: "You don't want to?"
Wenxi sighed, "Alright."
"Chenchen, if you're any stricter with me, you'll become my dad."
"No, my dad isn't as strict as you."
Shang Chen knew he couldn't keep controlling Wen Xi, so he softened his tone.
“They’re planning to buy a batch of horses in Jiangnan, and I specifically asked my second uncle to buy a beautiful pony.”
"After you finish your final exams, shall we go horseback riding in Jiangnan together?"
Wen Xi's eyes lit up: "Shang Chen, you're so great!"
I love you so much!
The wind blew across Shang Chen's shirt, revealing a serious expression on his handsome face, a maturity beyond his years.
"Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by 'dead' or 'not dead'?"
"Alright, alright," Wen Xi said with a bright smile, "I'll treat you to a lavish meal in Jiangnan then!"
The two walked side by side, with shady trees lining the road and the rhythmic chirping of cicadas.
Wenxi talked and laughed, occasionally taking a couple of steps backward to talk to Shang Chen, her youthful spirit shining brightly.
Their bouncy steps exuded ease and joy.
In an instant, love letters and the school heartthrob were all forgotten.
