Shen Jiachen instinctively stepped out of the room to chase after him, calling out, "Please wait—"
The elevator doors closed.
Shen Jiachen stopped in her tracks, looking at the changing numbers. She had already gone downstairs.
Wen Zhixia?
Her name is so beautiful... just like her, warm and welcoming.
Shen Jiachen felt a little annoyed. He had acted like a fool just now, mainly because he was completely stunned when he saw her.
Asking her name at the end was purely instinctive.
Wen Zhixia probably just silently cursed him in her heart, wondering if he was an idiot.
Shen Jiachen pursed his lips tightly, but soon couldn't help but smile with his eyes crinkling.
Fortunately, it was found.
So he was Ningzhen's employee. He suddenly felt like he was blind to her presence.
Shen Jiachen watched as the elevator reached the first floor; she had already left.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Ning Zhen.
[Shen Jiachen: Sister Ningzhen, I haven't seen this delivery kid before. Did you hire him recently?]
Ning Zhen replied quickly: [The girl working the evening shift is from University A, just like you, but she's only a sophomore. She's a very hardworking and diligent young woman.]
So she's a sophomore, huh? She's a junior.
[Shen Jiachen: Hmm? Oh, she's a junior. What's her major?]
[Ning Zhen: She's in the art department, I think, studying directing. I'm not too sure, I didn't ask for details, but I heard she's been getting scholarships since her freshman year.]
Ningzhen: Why are you asking this out of the blue?
[Shen Jiachen: I asked casually, since I'd never met him before.]
Ning Zhen sent an "oh" and he put his phone away.
Actually, it's easy to find someone once you have their name; Shen Jiachen himself didn't even realize that the corners of his mouth were turning up.
Wen Zhixia, what a lovely name.
Wen Zhixia was unaware that her name had already been praised several times in people's hearts. She caught the last bus back to University A and sat on the bus, looking at the streetlights outside.
How relaxing this moment is.
Wen Zhixia felt she hadn't been this relaxed in a long time, but the thought of Wen Sisi's situation gave her a headache again.
She sighed softly. It was Thursday, and she wouldn't see Wen Sisi until the night after tomorrow. She still had time to think.
The roads weren't congested at night, and she didn't even have to wait at many red lights. Wen Zhixia arrived at the school gate ten minutes earlier than usual.
When she returned to her dorm room, she realized something was wrong.
The two beds of her roommates from the music department were already empty. Yu Mingxue was sitting on a comfortable sofa chair watching a variety show when she heard the door open and turned her head to look.
Wen Zhixia put down her things, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did they change dorm rooms?"
Yu Mingxue didn't turn around, but simply hummed in agreement: "It's been changed. I'll pay for these two beds."
It means that from now on, there will only be the two of them in the dormitory.
Wen Zhixia said "oh" to indicate that she understood. No matter how many people were in the dormitory, she would only come back at night, so it didn't matter to her.
When she returned after washing up, she heard Yu Mingxue say, "I had someone take your sheets to be washed, and they'll be brought over when they're dry."
Wen Zhixia then glanced at her bed, and Yu Mingxue had already changed into a brand new three-piece bedding set.
She nodded. "Thank you."
She received Yu Mingxue's salary; she should have done these things herself.
Wen Zhixia was about to climb into bed, but after thinking for a moment, she turned around and asked, "How did those two agree to move?"
When people have free time, they tend to gossip, and Wen Zhixia is no exception.
Yu Mingxue yawned, her tone devoid of emotion: "They happily moved out after I paid for their accommodation for a year."
Wen Zhixia had already figured out yesterday that Yu Mingxue's family must be well-off, but she was still surprised by such a simple and unpretentious approach.
Yu Mingxue didn't hear Wen Zhixia's reply, and finally turned her chair around. She looked at Wen Zhixia's slightly surprised expression and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's with that expression?"
Wen Zhixia snapped out of her daze: "It's nothing, just a little unexpected. You're fine."
Yu Mingxue curled her lips as if she had heard a lame joke: "Don't waste time on things that can be solved with money."
"Well said." Wen Zhixia gave her a thumbs up, just like how she did when she was collecting money and doing chores last night.
She lowered her hand and yawned: "Did I turn off the light?"
Yu Mingxue glanced at the time; it was ten o'clock, which was indeed quite late.
She said, "Turn it off."
As he spoke, he picked up the tablet and climbed onto the bed.
After watching her get into bed, Wen Zhixia turned off the light and then climbed into bed accurately using the outside light.
With the bed curtains drawn, the fabric completely blocked out the light coming in from the balcony.
Wen Zhixia turned on her phone, glanced at the group messages, put it down, turned over, and drifted off to sleep.
*
The next day.
As soon as Wen Zhixia finished class, she rode her bike to the coffee shop. As soon as she parked her shared bike, she saw a new batch of materials placed at the entrance of the shop.
It's delivered once a month, but usually it's delivered during the day. There are two of us on the day shift, so we can lend a hand.
As she walked in, a colleague on the day shift said, "Zhixia, we're still handing over to the driver. Could you please move the lighter items first? We'll come and move them as soon as we're done."
Wen Zhixia nodded. She went to the kitchen, put her things away, put on her work apron, and then dragged her cart out. The things she carried were syrup, milk, coffee beans, and cake ingredients that she used every day.
It was quite heavy, but she was used to the work, so the weight didn't bother her.
