Shen Jiachen returned from the hospital at five o'clock.
The driver looked at the residential area they were about to reach, glanced at Shen Jiachen with his eyes closed in the rearview mirror, and still asked, "Young Master Jiachen, should I take you to the garage or the entrance?"
Shen Jiachen opened his eyes. The driver was someone his father had called to pick him up. Although he hadn't told Shen Fang that he was sick, the driver still found him accurately and dutifully took him home.
He said coldly, "At the door."
The driver agreed and continued driving diligently.
They were almost there, and Shen Jiachen had no desire to rest. He casually looked out the window and his gaze fell on the bus stop across the street.
A slender figure stood there obediently, and Shen Jiachen subconsciously said, "Stop the car."
The driver hesitated for a moment, then explained, "Young Master Jia Chen, we can't stop now."
Shen Jiachen came to his senses and realized what he had just said. Fortunately, the light turned red soon, and the driver stopped smoothly behind another car.
He stared at the red light for a few seconds, but finally couldn't help looking at the bus stop behind the car. Just then, a bus started to leave, and the people at the stop disappeared.
Shen Jiachen slowly withdrew his gaze, his mind still filled with the little incident from earlier that day. Come to think of it, he hadn't even said thank you yet.
Wen Zhixia took the bus to the coffee shop, where she worked part-time until 10 p.m. With half an hour to spare before her shift started, she randomly picked a noodle shop on the street, ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles, and began to process the messages she hadn't dealt with that afternoon.
After reading through all the messages in the class group, she scrolled down and found that Wen Sisi had sent her a message around 2 PM.
[Wen Sisi: Sis, I want to buy a watch. The clock in the classroom is broken, and we can't bring our phones to the classroom during the day, which is really inconvenient.]
After saying that, she even sent a pitiful emoji.
Wen Zhixia chewed a couple of mouthfuls of noodles, thought it over, and then transferred two hundred yuan to her.
After I finished turning the phone around, I was about to put it away when Wen Sisi replied to my message.
[Wen Sisi: Sis, 200 isn't enough, could you transfer me more?]
[Wen Zhixia: What watch? Two hundred isn't even enough.]
Wen Sisi sent me a screenshot showing the latest Apple watch, which was priced at over two thousand yuan even after the discount.
Wen Zhixia: ?
Wen Zhixia put down her chopsticks.
Wen Sisi replied quickly: [All my classmates have them, and I want one too. Sis, please buy it for me~ Please, if you buy it for me, I promise I'll study hard and try my best to get into A University.]
Wen Zhixia replied expressionlessly: 【Give me back the 200.】
Wen Sisi replied, "Sister, just transfer me another 1500! I'll cover the rest with my own allowance."
Wen Zhixia: Retreat.
I don't know what they were thinking, but in the end they returned the 200 to Wen Zhixia.
Wen Sisi: Sister~
Wen Zhixia replied readily, "I'll buy it for you after you get into A University. I'll deliver a watch to your school tomorrow."
Wen Sisi is a senior in high school this year, studying at No. 13 High School, which is more than two hours away from University A. Wen Zhixia has no classes tomorrow morning, so she can take the earliest bus there and make it in time.
But after she sent the message, Wen Sisi did not reply.
Wen Zhixia picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat her noodles slowly.
My mind has already started to go blank.
Her parents divorced early, and she and Wen Sisi lived with their mother, but her mother passed away two years ago due to illness.
Their father had long since started a new family and could not accommodate the two sisters.
Wen Zhixia raised Wen Sisi on her own. After her mother fell ill, the family was short of money. After her mother passed away, the family's money was only enough for the two sisters' living expenses for a month. Her aunt and second aunt couldn't bear it and secretly transferred 10,000 yuan each to Wen Zhixia.
That's how the two sisters got through the most difficult time.
Wen Zhixia now works part-time to support herself and occasionally sends a message to her father, whom she doesn't contact often, to ask for some money. She manages to get by.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Wen Zhixia felt a bit warmer in her stomach. She picked up her phone again and checked, but Wen Sisi hadn't replied yet.
After thinking it over, I turned to ask Wen Sisi's homeroom teacher and was relieved to confirm that Wen Sisi was attending classes at school.
At 8 p.m., a loud rumble came from outside, followed by the sound of light, pattering rain.
The rain that I had been waiting for all day finally came, and it gradually grew heavier in no time.
Wen Zhixia put the cup away and looked at the torrential rain outside the glass window with a headache.
The coffee shop where she worked part-time wasn't far from University A. Usually, after closing time, she would scan a shared bike and get there in fifteen minutes, which was very convenient. More importantly, it was also very cheap, costing only two yuan to get to the school.
Wen Zhixia sighed softly, hoping the rain would lessen by closing time so she could walk back with an umbrella. Although she would be a little late getting to her dorm, the thought of the taxi fare made her feel confident that she could manage.
Just as she finished thinking, the shop owner behind her said, "Zhixia, it's raining heavily today, so let's close half an hour early tonight. I'll take you back to school later."
Wen Zhixia carried the cup back behind the counter, and said somewhat apologetically, "Sister Ning, isn't this too much trouble for you?"
Ning Zhen smiled and said, "It'll only take a few minutes, what's the trouble? If you catch a cold, I'll be the one who suffers."
Wen Zhixia came to work part-time four days a week, and although it was all in the evening, Ning Zhen noticed that business was quite good every time Wen Zhixia came.
She knew very well that many people came because of Wen Zhixia, after all, Wen Zhixia was really beautiful.
More importantly, she is hardworking and always makes sure the samples are spotless. She is also a university student at A University, which means she is her junior. Ning Zhen is quite satisfied with her.
Hearing Ning Zhen say that, Wen Zhixia smiled and didn't refuse anymore: "Then thank you, sister."
