The two walked to the car, each lost in their own thoughts. Wen Zhixia looked at the car and then remembered that she seemed to have seen it before. It was also a rainy day, and she had just hailed a taxi and thought she saw this car when she got in.
It turns out that it was Shen Jiachen back then.
Shen Jiachen opened the back door: "You can sit in the back."
Wen Zhixia nodded slightly and got into the car. Before she could even reach out, Shen Jiachen closed the car door for her.
She looked out the car window and saw Shen Jiachen quickly open the driver's side door, fold his umbrella, and get in the car in one smooth motion. It wasn't until after he got in and the car lights came on for a moment that she noticed Shen Jiachen's right shoulder was soaked with sweat, and the color of his T-shirt was darker than the one next to him.
Wen Zhixia pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.
Shen Jiachen didn't care at all. He said, "Fasten your seatbelt. I'm driving."
As he spoke, he turned on the navigation system. Before officially starting the car, he also turned on the car radio, which happened to be playing a song about rain.
"I wish the rain would never stop, so that my longing could continue..."
The car drove smoothly on the road. Shen Jiachen was indeed a very responsible driver. He didn't speak, and the only sound in the car was the radio recording.
Wen Zhixia leaned back in the car seat, her gaze fixed on Shen Jiachen in front of her. Although the seat back obscured much of his face, she could still see his ears and profile.
She took a deep breath, her breath filled with the pleasant scent of perfume, exactly the same as Shen Jiachen's.
On a rainy day, there were very few cars on the road. Shen Jiachen drove Wen Zhixia to the gate of A University without any problems. He originally wanted to drive in, but Wen Zhixia refused.
The rain outside has lessened considerably compared to before.
Shen Jiachen looked at the rain outside the window, somewhat disappointed. Why didn't this rain last longer? But he still nodded: "Okay."
Wen Zhixia lowered her head and tapped her phone twice. The next second, Shen Jiachen's phone vibrated. He clicked on it in confusion and saw that Wen Zhixia had transferred money to him.
Wen Zhixia said, "Thank you for bringing me back. This is for the fare."
Looking at the money she transferred, Shen Jiachen felt a little disappointed. No wonder Wen Zhixia had been so proactive in asking him to deliver it.
He said, "No need, it's my own choice."
Wen Zhixia said, "I'm willing, but I can't let you suffer a loss. It's getting late, I'll go in first, you should go back early too."
As she spoke, she opened the car door. The umbrella that had been closed was now open. She closed the door, took a step toward the driver's seat, and looked at Shen Jiachen with a slight smile: "Take care on the road, goodnight senior."
Shen Jiachen nodded: "When you arrive, send me a message, okay?"
Wen Zhixia simply smiled and said, "Bye."
Without agreeing or refusing, I went into the school with my umbrella.
Shen Jiachen's car remained parked at the entrance until Wen Zhixia's figure was out of sight before he slowly restarted the car and drove away.
Wen Zhixia returned to her dorm room with an umbrella. Yu Mingxue was also in her dorm room, nestled in a chair making a video call. When she saw Wen Zhixia return, she said a few words to the people on the video call and then hung up.
Wen Zhixia hung the umbrella on the bathroom hook so it would be dry when she returned to the shop tomorrow.
She came out, and Yu Mingxue said, "I thought with such heavy rain, you wouldn't be back until at least eleven o'clock today, but I didn't expect you to be back so soon."
Faster than usual.
Wen Zhixia put her things away and replied, "I've already hailed a luxury car, it'll be quick."
Yu Mingxue scoffed, "You're treating yourself so well today, even taking a luxury car."
She didn't believe it.
In the past two days, she has thoroughly investigated Wen Zhixia's affairs. Wen Zhixia is known for her frugality. Despite working part-time to earn scholarships, she still manages to make ends meet.
But Yu Mingxue found out recently that all her money had been spent on her younger sister.
Wen Zhixia had already picked up her pajamas. She said, "Yes, we should always treat ourselves better."
Yu Mingxue pouted, too lazy to reply.
Wen Zhixia went to wash up, and when she came out, she found that it was raining heavily again. Shen Jiachen should... be home by now.
She hadn't texted Shen Jiachen when she got back. She dried her hair with a towel, thought about it, and then picked up her phone, which was charging.
My phone is old, and it took a while to get into WeChat.
As soon as I logged in, a new message popped up.
Shen Jiachen: I've arrived.
It was sent five minutes ago.
Wen Zhixia wiped her hair with one hand again. She originally wanted to put down her phone, but after thinking it over, she replied with an "okay".
It's not very polite to just ignore it.
Shen Jiachen hasn't replied yet; he's probably busy.
Wen Zhixia put down her phone and prepared to blow-dry her hair, only to find that the old hairdryer had been replaced with a new one.
Just as Yu Mingxue was about to climb into bed, she turned her head and saw Wen Zhixia standing in front of the hairdryer with a puzzled look on her face.
She said, "I don't understand why that old fogey can stay in this dormitory for so long. I've already had him thrown out."
Wen Zhixia turned to look at her: "That's mine."
Yu Mingxue yawned: "I've already replaced it with a new one, why are you making such a fuss?"
Wen Zhixia parted her lips slightly, but finally said, "Thank you for your expense."
She bought that hair dryer online for only forty or fifty yuan. It seems that the cheapest hair dryer from Yu Mingxue's brand costs at least 1,500 yuan. Ye Yao had one, and she even cried to her about it, saying that she had saved up and spent a lot of money in a shameful way.
